TO FIX THE GOLD STANDARD.
Hearing Before the House Coinage
Committee,


The several measures providing for the
more definite establishment of the gold
standard were again under consideration
today before the House committee on COIN
age Treasurer Roberts being heard and
letters being read from prominent financial
experts. Mr.. Roberts approved the general
idea Of legislation for the exchange of Sill
Yer dollars for gold. He said it would not
add anything to the burden of the gold re-
serve. The only demand on the gold re-
serve would be for export purposes, and
the government was bound to meet that
demand in any event.
He believed that part of the money not
now available for export should be con-
verted into money so available. This would
avoid a stringency when there was a heavy
outflow Of gold, and there would be no
danger of silver going to discount.
Mr.. Roberts was cross-questioned quite
sharply by Representatives Cochran or
Missouri and Shafroth of Colorado, repre-
senting the silver element on the commit
tee, and Mr.. Cochran announced that the
opposition to the proposed legislation would
ask for hearings later
A letter from President Williams Of the
Chemical National Eank Of New York was
read approving the purpose of the pending
bills demanded by public sentiment and
by the emphatic Endorsement by the people
of the principle of the gold Standard
Mr.. Williams expressed preference for the
Levy bill. A letter from John Harsen
Rhoades. chairman of the committee on
finance Of the New York chamber Of COM
merce, also was read, expressing hearty
approval Of the proposed legislation.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Muhlman, in a memorandum
submitted, says the silver bullion had cost
us about 924 cents an ounce, and would
sell now for about 65 cents per ounce. Its
coinage as subsidiary coin would be en-
tirely justifiable and would cause an actual
gain to the treasury cash. But Mr.. Muhi-
man points out that II the purpose OF the
legislation is to suspend the coinage of the
standard dollars a repeater would make
that purpose much more definite. The
hearings will be resumed next Monday.

MUST BE SUPPRESSED.
View of Senate Military Committee
HazinE.

The Senate committee on military affairs
today discussed the question of hazin4 at
the West Point Military Academy, and
there was a unanimous expression of opin
ion in reprobation of the practice and to
the effect that those guilty of it should be
summarilv dealt with. The question came
up in connection with the Military Acad-
emy bill. and it was decided to incorporate
the following provision in that bill as an
amendment: Under the direction of the
Secretary of War, the superintendent of
the United States Military Academy shall
make and enforce such rules and reguIa-
tions will prevent the practice of haz-
ing; and any cadet found guilty Of par
ticipating in such practice shall be ex-
PEELED from the academy and shall not be
reapponted to the corps of cadets therein,
nor to the army of the United States"
The question was taken up on the sug-
gestion of Senator Warren, and vigorously
pressed by him, as well as by Senators
COckrell and Harris. The bill, with the
amendment, will be reported to the Senate
tomorrow.

Trip of the Scorpion to Protect Amer
ican Interests,
RESPONSIBILITY With VENEZUELA
Attitude of the Castro Govern
ment Noted With Regret.
SCENE OF THE TROUBLE

The only advice over night from Vene-
zuela was a short message from Minister
Loomis, indicating that the revolt which
had broken out in the barracks at Cara
cas- had been suppressed Monday.
The Navy Department was unable to
forward its instruction to Commander
Sargent last evening, but the message went
out early this morning, and by this time
the Scorpion Is probably starting from La
Guira for Guanoco The difficulty in To-
eating this latter port on the existing
charts is, probably, owing to the fact that
1t has only recently, and since the devel-
opment of the asphalt franchise, taken on
any Importance commercially.
Location of GuanocO.
But during his recent cruise up the Ori-
noco and adjacent rivers, Commander
Todd, the present chief Of the hydrograph-
ic office, charted this place along with a
number of others. From this it appears
that Guanoco lies about seventy-five miles
up the San Juan river in northern Nene-
zuela, and is the point of shipment for the
asphalt of the BermudeZ Company. which
is brought by the Guanoco and La Brea
railroad from the big pitch lake fifteen
miles to the eastward.
1t will probably take the Scorpion three
days to make the run from La Guira to

already filled, she will stop at Port OF
Spain, Trinidad, where the coalinS may be
accomplished in a few hours. before start
ing up the river. The river near GuanocO
is rather narrow. but wide enough to ad-
nit of the Scorpions safe passage.
Responsibility With Venezuela.
Such information as has reached here
goes to show that. while our efforts to
straighten out the complications with Ven
eZuela are much embarrassed by the
growth of the revolutionary movement, or
movements for there really two, yet
the issue is being made directly with the
Venezuelan government, as represented by
the de facto president. Castro.
II is gathered that it is his agents, VINO

prevent if she can reach the point OF trou-
ole in time. 1t is noted with regret that
the Castro element is not meeting the ad-
vances of the United States in Il reasonable
and conciliatory spirit, but is showing a
disposition TO resent the departments very
reasonable request that no arbitrary action
be taken respecting the asphalt concessions
until the incumbents have had an oppOr-
tunity to assert their legal rights In the
matter. The aspect is therefore regarded
as unpromising for speedy settlement
and the case will require to be handled with
great delicacy in order to avoid an open

CONFINED TO HIS HOME.
Secretary Root Detained by an At
tack of the Grip.

Secretary Root is confined to his house
today with incipient case of the grip,
but, as he was able to sign the routine Off
cial mail il was not necessary for any one
to act as Secretary in his stead. If he be
comes worse. however. Lieutenant General
Miles will relieve him of the active duties
connected with the admnis;ratio of the
War Department. Secretary Root was
taken i'll Tuesday night, but was able to
attend yesterdays cabinet meeting and to
spend a few hours at his Office. He has not
yet acted on the report of the Brooke court
of inquiry in the cases of ex-Cadets BooZ
and Breth, and his illness will still further
delay action in that matter. There is an
impression at the department that the
Secretary desires to act in the matter be-
fore the congressional committee concludes
its investigation of the same matters, and
there is every reason to believe that the
Secretary will condemn the practice of haz-
ing in unmeasured terms and instruct the
authorities at the Military Academy 10
adopt radical and extreme measures for its
complete eradication from the academy.

time and had a talk with the detectives.
