vidos that the currency of the
United States shall be legal tender in
the islands and makes the gold dollar
the unit of value, but it authorizes a
silver peso of 416 grains, which is to
be received for all dues to the islands
unless specific legal provision is made
to the contrary. The Philippine gov
eminent is authorized to take such
measures as it considers necessary
to maintain the parity of the peso
with the currency Of the United
States at the rate of two pesos for one
dollar, Authority is also given for the
issuance of certificates in the peso.
The Mexican and Spanish pesos are
to go out of existence by the first of
December 1903, meanwhile their
value is to be fixed by proclamation
by the governor of the Philippines.
The house passed the bill to ap-
propriate $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of the anthracite coal strike
commission and then adjourned until
Friday. There was some criticism of
the feature of the bill allowing double
salaries to members of the commits
sion now in government employ and
also because the bill left the amount
of the compensation of the members
to the president. But all amendments
were voted down. The bill was
passed without division. Mr.. Benton
declared he could not support the bill.
The president, he said had not legal
authority for the creation of the COM
mission. His second objection was
that it placed $4,000 in the presi-
dents hands without any limitation
whatever. Mr. Bailey (Ga) said the
president had acted periodically, Mr..
McDermott IN. j. pointed out the
fact that the strike commission had
no power behind it. He thought the
commission should be given power to
make an investigation, and should re-
port it's findings to congress. Mr..
Griffith Und) offered an ironicaI
amendment to provide for the pay

Mitchell, president of the united mine

Supervisors, while the conncilmen of

school boards handling and spending
over go per cent of all the taxes

much as the supervisors handle, and
yet the tax payers are never informed
who gets the money or even for what
it is spent, save as an annual report

shows so many thousand dollars re-

The concert at the Grand opera

the Luther College Musical Union de-
served a much larger audience than
greeted it. 1t was one of the best

college. The band numbers about
sixty pieces, and is better than we
have ever seen it, rendering difficult
compositions exceedingly we'll Prof.
Hanson executed violin solo so de-
lightfully that an encore was demand
