RUSSIA AND MANCHuRiA.

Ran question. A short time since it
was announced that doubling rhomases 10

fulfilled to the letter her promise to with

by October S, 1908, of the Russian troops

And perhaps this confidence is justified.
None the less, it would appear that the
conclusion that Russia intends to permit
Manchuria to become Chinese again was
arrived at altogether too hastily An ex-

THE LIQUOR LICENSES.

The action of the Common Coun-
ell Monday night in respect 10
liquor licenses means that hence
forth saloon-keepers will have TO
pay into the city treasury at least twice
az much money as they are paying now.
II also keeps in force the classification
system. and the Finance Committee is
charged with the duty of assigning deal
crs to the classes where they belong.
If, IS we believe it Will, the committee
makes the best possible use Of the author
ity It has, and--what is very important
the two branches of the Council will
stand by it. Richmond will be consider
ably advantaGed monetarily. We shall
not even then be getting as much revenue
as we should receive from the sale Of
liquor here, but We shall. nevertheless.
have made a start-a great advance, in
fact.
We cannot say We believe the new IL
cense rate will result in lessening the
number of bar-rooms. We doubt il it will
cause a single dcale. TO retro from bust

WASHINGTON. D. c., November A.
tSpecial)-The annual count of the coun-
terfeit money in the Treasury, prepara-
tory to it's destruction, is being made by
committee Of three appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury. under the
law. This count, and the whole affair, is
carried out with as much care as if the
money were genuine During the year
the different divisions of the Secret
Service all over the country send to the
Treasury Department the captures by the
officers of the service of counterfeit mon
for each shipment received and the stuff
is entered upon the books with great
care. About this time each year a COM
mlttee is appointed to count the money
and articles. Every paper dollar, every
spurious f1ve-cent, and other pieces, must
tally to a dot, and there must not be the
slightest loss in the way of die or of
what is termed q flash note. The COM
mlttee works on the various packages for
ten days or two weeks, and then reports
to the Secretary of the Treasury. The
counterfeit notes are macerated in the
great macerating machines of the Treas
ury, just like genuine notes of the gov
eminent. The coins. dies, metal, etc. are
melted down into a huge mass in the not
test melting establishment in the District
Of Columbia.
CONFEDERATE MONEY.
The flash notes. advertisements contain
ing designs of. national currency, and the
limitations of Confederate notes, are
burned. Confederate paper currency is
frequently counterfeited, and made to
make money for the counterfeiters. SIEVE
raj years ago, when the Americans first
occupied Cuba, counterfeit Confederate
money had 2 wide circulato in the is
land. Then it made its appearance in the
Philippines. Frequently it is pushed by
co,nterfeiters among foreigners. The Sc
cret Service has no law to reach these
men, inasmuch as the counterfeit is not
an imitation of currency Of this country.
but the service invariably seizes all of
this money it can find, regardless of its
rights. The counterfeiter has no recourse,
Last year the annual count and de-
struction revealed s79t,520 in paper coun-
terfeits, 1851 in coins, 40 metal molds,
133 dies of steel and metal, 1S3 of steel,
copper. zinc. and glass. There were a
quantity of fash notes end Confederate
