Cheap SILVER Dollars
For PHILIPPINES.


Wnshing,on, March rs. The
tapuhiican members nf the senate
committce on The Philippines
held Il meeting today aud passed
finally upon the provisions of the
Philippine government bill. The
currency question was the princi-
pal topic of conversation again
today and the provision for sup
plying tho Philippines with a cir
culating medium rs prepared 10y
the subcommittee composed of
Senators Allison, Beveridge and
Dubois was finally passed upon.
This provision, as has been here.
tofore stated, is that there shall
be coined a Philippine dollar of
the same weight and fineness as
the Mexican dollar and the British
dollar. 1t is to be bullion dol
lar, but the volume is to be
limited only by the demands of
business.
The coin will carry an Ameri-
can device on ono side and orien.
tai design on the other, and it is
calculated that it will in time be
a very popular coin throughout
the eastern world.
The amendment also provides
for subsidiary coinage sufficient
to meet the wants of the Philip
pine people. The coinage of this
silver will be done both in Ameri-
ca and IN the Philippines. The
dollar provided is made legal
tender in tho Philippines but not
ia the United States.

FEES OF CLAIM AGENTS.
Information Requested of the Several
Departments of Government

In taking steps to carry out the provis-
ions of the new license law relative to re-
quiring claim agents to pay an annual fee
of SO the District Commissioners have
addressed letters to the cabinet officers pre-
siding over the various departments of the
general government, asking for informa-
ton as to the agents practicing before
them. The Commissioners say:
'The act Of Congress maI3ng appropria-
tfons for the support of the government Of
the District of Columbia for the fiscal year
of 1903 contains provision that claim
agents engaged in business as such in the
District of Columbia shall pay an annual
license fee of $25.
AS the business of this class Of practi-
TONERS is principally conducted before the
several departments of the general govern
ment. the Commissioners are led to resort
to the heads of those departments as the
most probable source of information with
which to prepare a list of those required
by law to take out a claim agents license
The Commissioners, therefore, would be
greatly indebted to you if you will give in
structions which will secure for them the
fullest statement practicable of the names
of agents in the District who. prosecute
claims before your department and its sew

that the dealers In this market take pride
IN keeping their stalls in an attractive way
as well as cleanly condition.
For twenty years the cellar or basement
whlch extends the WHOLE area of the mar
ket has been used as storage room for
broken school desks and other useless prop
erty OF the District. / wish to state that 1t
has been cleared. and has been thoroughly
cleaned and whitewashed. The closets
which are in the basement have been over
hauled and the whole put in sanitary
condition.
'As to recommendations for any extern
sion, l would be pleased to reiterate my
former recommendation as embodied in last
years report, viz: enlargement of the
market house to contain as many stalls
more as there now are. The rapid growth
of Capitol Hill convinces me that if eighty
stalls have been maintained for twenty
nine years this would be good time
to double the number of stalls. The East
Washington Citizens Association has had
this matter under discussion for some time
and will heartily indorse this recommended
ton.
The present building has never been
painted, and it would be an improvement to
have the whole exterior painted and pen
ciled. The estimates for the ensuing year
are as follows: Salary of market master
$1,20O; salary Of laborer. $500: three tons
of coal, SIS; three dozen brooms, 50; sta
donery, $3; wax tapers, so cents; window
shades, $50.

CLASH OF OFFICIALS.

an INSPECTOR

Charles A. McKenney, superintendent of
construction of the new Trumbull street
pumping station of the water department.
has asked of the Commissioners the dis
charge of w. B. Watzel, assistant insnec-
tor at the station, because of exceptions
the latter Is said to have taken to the
authority of the superintendent. Engineer
Commissioner Biddle has recommended
that the resignation of Mr.. Watzel, which
has been forwarded, be accepted, to take
effect August 20.
j. s. Garland, acting superintendent of
the water department. made an investiga-
ton of the matter and has reported as fol-
lows:
"a written statement received August
81, 1902, was submitted to me by Mr..
Watzel, in which he replies to charges
made by Mr.. McKenney, and also tenders
his resignation as an empFoye of the Dis
trict of Columbia, to take effect as soon as
possible. In this statement Mr. Watzel
says that he has taken no exception to
orders given him by Mr.. Mckenney. This
statement is denied by Mr. McKenney, who
also denies ever having given him orders
to pull weeds, clean tools, ETC., the only
orders given Mr.. Watzel by Mr.. McEenney
being strictly confined to the building op-
erationS of the station"
