THE WASHERS MUST GO
POLICE RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THE CHIEF.
Law Enacted to Prevent Lettering
About Entrances to Theaters and
Other Public Places.

Instructions have been given to the po-
lice by Maj. Sylvester to enforce the pro-
visions of the law against the so-called
''mashers'' who loiter about the entrances
to the theaters and along the business
streets, particularly on F street. Com
plants have been made to the police from
time to time about these young men. La
dies who attend the theaters and who are
obliged to walk along the business thor
oughfares are frequently subjected to an
noyances and sometimes to insults.
Section of the law known as the Kim
ball act Is broad enough to cover all cases
Of this kind. This section provides:
THAT it shall not be lawful for any per-
son or persons within the District OF Co
lumbia to congregate and assemble at the
or in any street. avenue or alley, road or
highway, or on the foot pavements or flag
footways Of any street or avenue, or at
the entrance or on the steps, cellar doors,
porches. or porticoes Of any public or prt-
vate building or Office or at the entrance
Of any public or private building or
office, or at the entrance, or in,
on or around any of the Enclosures
of the Capitol. Executive Mansion. public
squares, District buildings, judiciary
square, or at the entrance of any church,
school house, theater or any assembly
room, or in or around the same, or any
other public or private inclosure within the
said District, and be engaged in loud or
boisterous talking. or to Insult or make
rude or obscene comments or remarks or
observations on persons passing by the
same, or in their hearing, or to so crowd,
obstruct or incommode the said foot pave
ment or flag footway, or the entrance into
or out Of any such church. public or pri-
vate dwelling, city hall, Executive Man
sion, Capitol. or such public inclosure,
square or alley. highway or road as to pre-
vent the free and uninterrupted passage
thereof. under penalty OF not more than
$2o for each and every such offense.'
Rigid Enforcement Enjoined.
The attention Of the police-more par
ticularly those In the first precinct-has
been called to the provisions OF this Sec
tion. and rigid enforcement of the law Is
to be made. Maj. Sylvester is determined
that the young men who usually appear
on the streets and make themselves objec-
ttonable as soon spring sets In will have
to find some other way to amuse them
selves this season.

SILVER COIN REFUSED.
Manila Banks Decline to Accept Mexi.
can Dollars as Deposits.

From the Manila Times, January %.
The financial situation has reached a
critical period in these islands and especi-
ally in this city. The gold and American
paper money have been shipped out, and
the local marts of trade have been flooded
with Mexican dollars. Yesterday several
business firms, who have account with
the banks Of this city, called as usual to
make additional deposits, but were turned
| away with the statement that the vaults of
the banks are full of silver, and that no
more would be received at the present
time.
Just how long the present delightful
state of affairs Is going to continue is prob
lematical. We have been steadily drifting
on the flood of silver which has led to this
misfortune. The voyage has not been alto
here and there, and occasional snags have
been encountered; but these have been
mere incidents compared to this last catas-
trophe the shutting down Of the banks on
Mexican silver.
Just what will happen next is hard to
say. 1t certainly looks as If there is going
to be a crash somewhere, and that soon.
Even at the ratio of 81. 10, gold is practi-
cally an unknown quantity. It has daily
been becoming scarcer, and has now almost
entirely disappeared from circulation in
everyday transactions. Even the smaller
denominations seem to be less plentiful.
AS matters now stand, the Mexican dollar
Is looked upon with suspicion and diStruSt.
Wherever possible 1t is repudiated, and a
general lack of confidence in it as symbol
of value is beginning to be inspired. The
results cannot but be prejudcial and HARM
full to business and consequently to the
community at large. Even greater than We
know must be the evil effects wrought upon
Manila and the Philippines in the world
at large by the present unstable system
of currency.
AS the present conditions are likely to
prevail until the end Of this quarter we
may look for a continuation of the incon-
veniences and losses which we now un-
dergoing That matters will then improve
is hardly conceivable. Certainly all indca-
tions tend toward pessimistic view. Even
the millennium which is so surely to be ush-
cred In with the new Philippine coinage is
still a long way off. Meanwhile, in the
words of Kipling, IL you don't like It, you
can lump it; if you can't stand 1t, you can
lump it,
