LOOP OF THE BROOKLYN
WHAT 1T DID TO THE TEXAS
Occupies the Time of the Schley Inquisi-
tion-"Logs" Seem To Be
Uncertain.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The Schley
court of inquiry was brought to sud-
den termination for the day eighteen
minutes after converting by the an
nouncement of the sudden death of
Judge jeremiah Wilson, senior coun-
sci for Admiral Schley.
Death was caused from an acute at
tack of Indigestion.
Washington, Sept. 24.-The part
played by the battleship Texas in the
naval battle off Santiago ON July 3,
1898, was the basis of the greater part
Of yesterdays proceedings in the
Schley naval court of inquiry. Three
Of the witnesses were ON board the
Texas during the battle, and two of
them were Commander George G. He'll
ner, who was navigator on the Texas,
and Commander Alex. B. Bates, who
was the chief engineer on that battle
ship.
Heilner swore that the 'loop'' made
by the Brooklyn at the beginning Of
the fight put the Texas in more danger
than anything else that occurred that
day: that the Texas had to slow down
vigorously to avoid collision; that the
Brooklyn was not more than $50 yards
away when she doomed UP out of the
smoke, and that the interruption to the
Texas cost her about three miles in
the chase. Bates swore that the star
board engine had been stopped, and he
believed the port engine had also been
stopped at that time.
One thing that seems to be coming
out in the investigation is that log
books are very uncertain. For in
stance, the ''steam log of the Texas
contains no record of the stoppage of
the engines at the time Of the loop"
episode; and in course of his examina-
ton Captain Harder expressed con-
tempt for log statements. The
''1oop" matter was about all that was
important in the case yesterday.
The day closed with another ami
mated controversy between counsel as
to the policy Of bringing Admiral
SIMPSONS name into the trial.

AN EARNEST PROTEST.
Made By the People of Coconino Coun- ty Against the Consolidation of the San Francisco Mountains
 Reserve.

A public meeting of the citizens of COconino county was held at the court house Monday to discuss the matter of 6 protest against the action of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company, the Saginaw-Manistee lumber company, and E. B. Perrin, in disposing of their lands to the government and taking lands in lieu thereof in other sections.
 J. c. Phelan was chosen chairman of the meeting and c. M. Funston secre- tary. The matter was discussed at length and many suggestions were offered by different gentlemen. A committee composed of Geo. U. Young, J. c. Phelan, T. s. Bunch, E. E. El- inwood and E. s. Clark were ap- pointed to draft petition, setting forth 8 statement of facts to be pre- sented to the Secretary of the Interior.
 The committee made their report at '2 o'clock p. m. and the report was adopted and 5O0 copies of the petition or protest ordered printed. The whole matter of the further procedure in the protest was referred to committee composed of NJ. Salzman, J. c. Phelan, David Babbitt, J. E. Pollock and Dr. D. J. Brannen.
 The committee selected J. c. Phelan of Williams and David Babbitt of Flag staff to go to Washington and present the matter in person to Secretary Hitchcock. The petition states the names of the owners and the number of acres of land. The value of the sheep. cattle and horses % the range, and the county indebtedness. The protest ends with the statement that if the proposed consolidation is carried out it would prove ruinous; property would be abandoned, and sacrificed for the taxes thereon. The county would become depOpulated and insOlvent and repudiation would be the immediate result. Attached to the protest were statements of the county indebtedness. the statement of he condition of our county schools, and a statement of the liabilities of he town of Flagstaff
 Messrs. David Babbitt and J. c. Phelan, the committee chosen to go to Washington accompanied by E. s. Clark, left on Wednesdays flyer, and expect to arrive at their destination on Monday. as they make stop of one day in Chicago.

Sheep Grazing On Forest Reserves.

Sheep Grazing On Forest Reserves.
 Superintendent of Forest Reserves I. B. Hanna has received an order from the department of the interior prohib- iting sheep grazing on the Black Mesa forest reserve in Arizona. The com missioner of the general land office, Hon. Binger Herman, orders: "En- force the standing rule prohibiting grazing, and see that no sheep are al- lowed on the reserve, and that if any are now in the reserve, that they are removed mmediately." Last summer there were as high as 30O,O0O sheep on lhe reserve, and the enforcement of the above order will be great hard ship to sheep men. It is believed that the same order will be enforced on all the remaining reserves as soon as the investigation in respect to them is concluded. Thus far grazing has been positively prohibited upon the Gila, the PecOs and the Black Mesa reserves in Superintendent Hanna's jurisdiction which covers New Mexico and Arizona.

Under the agree ment the holders of the odd sections withdraw and accept other lands. The agreement as signed at the interior de- partment is as follows:
 "Hon. K. A.

Since my re. covery I have told hundreds of sufferers from coughs, colds and weak lungs that Acker's English Remedy would cure them.

National Bank Circulation.

At the Bankers Convention lately
held in Milwaukee the most important
proposition brought forward was that
of allowing the national banks to issue
circulating notes upon their general as
sets. The proposal is not a new one.
In fact, it has been strongly urged for
years by those who approach the whole
subject OF national finance from the
bankers standpoint But at this con-
yention the matter was given such
prominence that it has led TO a great
deal of journalistic comment, the most
of which appears to be decidedly ad-
verse to the scheme. The Chicago
Tribune" very pointedIy suggests that
the banks are doing well enough al
ready. and should be satisfied. Our
Chicago contemporary intimates broad
ly that the change would be in effect
the substitution of doubtful currency
for one which is absolutely safe and
sure Referring 10 the rapid increase
of gold certificates, the amount Of
which exceeds two hundred and seven
ty-seyen million dollars, the Tribune
says:
There is question that paper money be-
hind every dollar Of which there is gold
dollar is the convenieBtest and safest currency.
II will circulate in any part Of the world as
freely a. does a Bank Of England note, The
worlds stock Of gold 3 increasing SO rapidly
that the day will come when that ideal cur
rency can be enjoyed by all the great commercial
nations But the American bankers are not
hoping for the coming Of that day They are
after the privilege Of issuing notes against the
assets Of their depositors because there is more
q trHil ek.r.
is in one based gold.'
There is great deal of truth In this
excerpt AS against the present cur
rency of the country, there is nothing
that can fairly be urged in favor of
bank notes. Such notes are not and
cannot be full legal tender The Fed
eral Constitution viii not permit it. Up
TO certain point this makes but little
difference. so long as the Government.
VIII accept them for public dues. But

England and Russin.

Inasmuch as nothing is quite impos-
sible. we shall not indulge ourselves in
surprise at the spectacle of a leading
English periodical offering to its read
ers an elaborate paper advocating an
Anglo Russian alliance. The article in
question is understood to be the COM
posite work OF several well-known
writers. all on confidential terms with
members of the Ministry. If this be
true it is all the more significant.
The Text clearly indicates that the
purpose of its publication is TO throw a
spray of very cold water into Berlin,
and, at the same time, to remind st.
Petersburg that, after ALL the British
Lion is not as black as he has been
painted, largely with a German pot and
brush. The growing hostility of the
Kaiser's Government to that of Great
Britain is reviewed, the statement is
made that Germany is already stronger
on the sea than either Russia or France,
and the rather remarkable suggestion is
offered that, after all is said and done,
Russia would rather see England mis-
tress of the briny deep than Germany.
The authors declare that there is no
insuperable difficulty to prevent Eng
land and Russia from arriving at mu-
tual understanding; that the present
Cars father was anxious for one, and
why should not the son be? On Rus
sia's own terms we have not a doubt
that Nicholas would be only too glad to
divide things with his uncle; but the
faVs Farht t,a III
John Bull has become used of late to
paying dearly for his whistle, and that
might not stand in the way. The alIi-
ance article proposes a modus vivendi
which is richly worth consideration. 1t
is not pitched in the lingo key that we
have been wont to hear from British
voices when singing songs of defiance
to the wild and untamed Muscovite.
There is nothing in it like, While we're
Britons true the Russians shan't have
Constantinople!"
On the contrary, Russia may have a
good deal and welcome, in the view of
the English writer's, and let bygones
be bygones. For example, they say that
If Russia will abstain from any attempt
to dislocate the status quo in Egypt,
why should not she have her destined
way and sway in the Balkans? II Rus
sia would be good and not bother Brit
ish interests along the shores of the
Persian Gulf, Why not cooperate with
her to develop railway communication
between the Caspian Sea and that gulf,
and why not give her d port? Again,
if Russia would consent to give Japan a
free hand in Korea. she might be per
mitted to fix her Manchurian and Mon
golian position by direct negotiations
with China.
1t sounds like pretty scheme Of con-
cession, and has the aroma of retire
ment from the dictatoriaI attitude
which the Lion has maintained toward
the Bear ever since the latter began to
get his growth. If the London journal
he inspired, as gossip has il, We shall
near more about it. The astute diplo-
matists of st. Petersburg are always
open to business

The Washington times., 1901-10-30

if the notes could be issued by the
| banks upon their general assets, the
amount would be limited only by those
assets, which aggregate many thou
sands of millions of dollars. In Issuing
the notes the banks would be controlled
entirely by considerations of profit to
themselves. and no one can say how
large the issues might become.
As it is. the bank note circulation has
more than doubled since 1892. the
amount now being about three hundred
and fifty million dollars. With the
privilege of issuing upon their general
assets. the amount might easily run
into the thousands of millions. The eff
feet of this would be to expel gold from
the country. The United States can
keep no more money in circulation than
its proportional share of the world $
total stock of money, unless it be in a
form that will not leave the country.
Our greenbacks, our silver. and the
bank notes must remain here because
they cannot be used at their face value
anywhere else. But the gold can.
Therefore, as soon as the issue Of bank
notes became so great as to give us
more than our distributive share of the
worlds money the gold would begin to
flow out.
The reduction OF the god stock would
necessarily affect the credit of the bank
notes, for it would make their redemp-
ton upon demand more difficult and
doubtful In a crisis it would be no
answer to a demand for redemption
that the notes We're secured by the
banks assets. The person demanding
redemption would say that he knew
nothing and cared nothing about the
assets; that he wanted money" which
no man could refuse to take. In the
midst of a financial panic there is not
a business man in the United States
who would not prefer legal tender Gov
ernment paper to bank notes which
were not legal tender. Unless gold is
needed for export there is no point in
asking for the redemption of a green
back. for within the country for busi-
ness purposes it will do everything that
gold will do. But bank note will not,
for any man can decline to accept it in
satisfaction of his money demands.
No attempt has ever yet been made
to show how bank notes are better than
legal tender paper. and for the excel
lent reason that they are not better, but
worse. They are all right in fair
weather, but dangerous in a financial
storm. As the Tribune" observes, our
currency is all right now, and the
banks would better let well enough
alone"
