JAPANESE COINAGE.
Proposition to Remint the Imperial
Silver Currency.

Proposition to Remint the Imperial
Silver Currency.
From the Kobe Chronicle.
1t was recently reported that a proposal
was made by the finance department to
coin 1-yen silver pieces and exchange them
for 1-yen notes now in circulation. and in
vestigations were being mace for the pur-
pose of finding silver bullion for this pur-
pose. Now we learn from a vernacular
contemporary that a proposal Is under con-
sideration In the department to amend the
coinage law.
The reasons held out by the advocates
Of the measure are Cd that the existing
subsidiary silver coins, amounting to 90 oOO,-
600 yen. are coined at the ratio OF 2S TO I.
Since the adoption of the law the value OF
silver has much advanced and there Is 40
likelihood OF the metal again falling In
value, so that the silver pieces should be
recoined at the ratio Of 20 to 1: CD that
by recofnfng the silver pieces the govern
ment may profit by between 25O00,o00 and
SoeoeWe yen. and 1-yen silver pieces to
that amount should be coined: CD that in
case OF the change being carried out, the
l-yen convertible notes can be withdrawn
and power given to the Bank of Japan to
issue convertible notes to the amount Of
DWOOOO ven. The recoining of the SUBJ
sidiary silver coins, therefore, will result
In profit OF 30.000.OOO yen to the govern
ment and enable the Bank Of Japan to is
sue HotSS 10 the NafNe OF b,Vbt0t yen-
Moreover. II the measure Is adopted there
VIII be no need for selling government
bonds In the foreign market at a sacrifice.
This seems a very ingenious proposal.
but whether It would not give rise to other
nniooked-for evils has to be considered.
Silver has certainly risen in value since the
coinage Law was passed, and there are OF
course, countries where the proportion be-
tween silver and gold In the coinage IL
much less even than 20 to 1. 1t Is, how
ever. very delicate matter Interfering
with the established coinage OF a country
The mere suggestion OF amendment OF the
coinage law. even IL confined to the sub
sidiary coinage. is likely to do harm to
Japan.s interests by suggesting a tamper-

AN AERIAL WORKMAN.
Greasfng Swaying Cables 800 Feet
Above Carquinez Straits.

Greasfng Swaying Cables 800 Feet
Above Carquinez Straits.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A feat Of aerial work that ranks with
the greatest performances Of the worlds
athletes Is going on just now over CarQui-
nez straits. Otto Wilson. German rigger.
is engaged in greasing the cables OF the
Bay Counties Power Company. which
stretch across the straits at average Of
three hundred feet from the water. Mount
ed on a little three by three platform that
sways with every puff Of wind Of the upper
air, and runs along cable that seems
pathetically small to support human
day for the last month. On pure facts It
would seem to exceed the nerviest featS
Of the worlds tightrope walkers and
steeplejacks The men who cross Niagara
Falls on q tight rope have this in their
favor-they are on the rope for only few
minutes and they are never at more than q
short distance from land and less than
fifty feet above the water. The steeple-
jacks, whose performances in the great
cities never fail to draw a crowd, work
lashed to a substantial structure. which Is
very little Influenced by the winds. More
over, 1t Is q tradition Of the trade that few
men among them can work when the
steeple Is rocking. though ever SO little,
through the influence Of high wind. Now,
the average height at which Wilson works
Is about $50 to 500 feet from the surface OF
the water below him. In most Of his work
he is at least half mile from the tower
from which he makes his start and which
represents dry land to him, and he stays
with his work about eight hours a day
without once coming to landing. Be-
sides-and this is the most wonderful part
Of the performance-the cable on which he
operates continually swaying in the wind,
and his narrow platform is fastened
that it sways from side to side with the
motion, In the fashion of a rocking chair
fastened to a rope by the extreme upper
end of its back. On these facts 1t looks
as though Otto Wilson had the records Of
the Niagara Falls walkers and the steep.e-
jacks beaten by many nOtches.
The masts of the tallest ships that pass
to and from their way to Port Costa mills
pass more than one hundred feet below his
aerial perch. From the Port Costa shore
he appears as a little speck against the
blue of the sky-nO more than an eagle or
q hawk.
When he draws in toward one end or tho
other of his slack rope he can be seen lean
ing this way or that from his platform.
reaching out to right and left for a better
hold on the cables, throwing leg over the
edge Of the platform when that is neces-
sary to hts work. sitting for a rest on
the edge Of a low platform that surrounds
his car. with half his body hanging over
the hundred yards of sheer space below.
It is a sight that few persons can view
without a shudder, but Wilson seems to
mind 1t no more than a painter minds an
ordinary scaffold paltry twenty feet from
the surface

crowd of drunken negroes in the saloon
of Herman Geffken on Broughton and
Price streets last night. The officers
attention was attracted by a drunken
DraWl and when he made an effort to
stop the row he was assaulted by Hem

Patrolman Knox of the Ocean Steam
snip force, also off duty, was passing
the place with his wife and hurried 10
kelly's assistance. The negro Williams
was armed with razor and was max

who was using his billy freely. The
clerks in the store were also in the
hight which was fast and furious.
The negroes were attempting to dis.
arm the patrolman when Knox arrived
in the saloon. Both officers were using
their billies as fast as their arms could
move, and several of the negroes had
their heads cut. Grayson and Williams
were badly beaten, and were unable to
escape, although the others implicated
in the row managed to get away. The
negroes were bathed in blood when
taken to the police station house. and
the clothes of the officer were also
bloody as a result of the encounter.

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
Negro Fireman's Fatal Leap From
Moving Locomotive.


Parrish Collins, a colored fireman on
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, jumped
from a locomotive near Meinhard yes
terday morning and dashed his brains
out against a boxcar on siding. Col
Inns was fireman on a south bound pas
senger train, with Conductor Charles
Jaudon in the cab.
The train was tagged between two
witches near Meinhard, and anticipat-
ing a collision. the fireman jumped to
his death. He struck the boXcar with
much force and his head was mashed
to a pulp. Engineer Jaudon had re-
versed his engine, and was preparing
to jump when the fireman made the
fatal leap.
The passenger train was brought to
a standstill without mishap and d
search was made for Collins. The body
of the fireman was found near the
track, and death must have been in
Simultaneous. The remains were brought
to the city on the same train and
viewed at the Central depot by Coroner
Keller. who had been notified of the
tragedy.
Engineer Jaudon told the story of the
fireman's jump to Coroner Keller, who
decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary. The engineer stated to the cor
oner that he had about made up his
mind to jump when his fireman left the
engine. Collins was a native of Lin
colnville. S. c., where he has relatives.
Permission was given for the removal
of the body to LincolnVille.
