and Shanghai bank, and Just appoint
ed joint manager of its London
branch, appeared before the Senate
Philippines commission and advocated
the use of full weight silver dollar
in the Philippines to circulate at its
bullion value and proposed the propo-
sltion. recommended by the Philip
pine. commission of dual standard
for the islands. He did not appear
he, said on behalf of the bank, but
being familiar with the monetary con-
ditions of the East concluded to give
the committee the benefit of his ex-
perience. Great Britains expert
ment in placing India on a gold basis,
he said, had proved conclusively that
that standard was applicable only to
rich countries. Gold currency was
entirely unsuitable for the Philippines
because 1t would increase the cost
of everything, would tend to restrict
rather than develop the export trade
of the islands, and would be tax and
burden to the United States to main
tain it. 1t would not remedy the
question of exchange between the
archipelago and the United States,
because there was fluctuation In the
rate between gold countries. The Fill.
pinos would not readily accept gold,
and to introduce it would only breed
discomfort They would, however,
accept the silver dollar which also
circulates anywhere in the East on
a par with the Mexican and British
dollar.

this confession, the officers of Colousa
county, California, we're communicat.
ed with and an investigation insti-
tuted, which resulted in Leonard's
story of the hold-up and murder being
verified in every particular. Govern.

der. where he will stand trial for the
