Charles A. Conant of Boston, who has

Root is to give stability to the coinage sys-

is keenly interested in having all these mat.
tsrs put on footing which will inspire con
fdence among investors and hasten the de

Philippines, instead of compelling the en-.

banking, in respect to which it will probably
be necessary to make some special provisions
