CURRENCY IN THE ISLANDS.
VIEWS FOR AND AGAINST AN AMER
ICAN COINAGE SYSTEM.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

Washington, Feb. 2.-One of the subjects to be
discussed by Governor Taft before he closes his
testimony before the Senate Committee the
Philippines is that of the establishment of a
mint in Manila and a special currency for the
Philippine Islands. There is a wide difference of
opinion among officials who have given the
question thought concerning several important
features. Several months ago the War Depart
ment sent an expert to the Philippines to make
an investigation of the currency now in circu-
Iation there. His report was submitted TO the
Secretary of War. and the recommendations
therein were similar to those made by the civil
authorities IN the islands, who say that 1t
would be inadvisable to establish the American
coinage system in the Philippines because of
the serious impediment to trade likely to de-
velop by unfamliarity with American money
values.
In making such a change Mr. Conant the
special financial agent for the War Department
and a large number of the supporters of his
views fear that unnecessary obstacles would be
encountered in making the Filipinos understand
a scale of money values, especially If it
were to them foreign, the system used in
this country would be.
Representative Hill. of Connecticut. who spent
several months last summer observing condi-
tions in the Philippines. contends. however. in
opposition to this idea, that this country's cur
rency should be established in the Philippines
in preference to entirely new semi-spanish
scale, has been suggested. asserting that
there is reason for the apprehension that
the Filipino cannot be taught without difficulty
to understand the American money system, be-
cause there is already much United States
currency circulated in the Philippines by the
soldiers that the natives have become familiar
with II as a medium of exchange.
In addition to the question of convenience. per-
sons interested in providing legal tender in the
Philippines also differ to the propriety of
putting the island currency on footing distinct
from that of the United States in view of the
Indefinitely defined purpose of this government

A woman, seventy years old, whose name Is
not known is lying at Roosevelt Hospital with
fractured skull and internal injuries, received
from a sign which was blown down by the high
wind of yesterday evening from the second floor
of the four story factory building of Charles
TrissIer & Co. at No. 694 Ninth-ave. The sur
geons say that she may die. Policemen John
Rooney and Hayes, of the West Forty-seventh-
ST station, found the woman, and called Am
bulance Surgeon Russell, who removed her to
Roosevelt Hospital. The sign was Of wood,

set in, which continued till we'll on into the af-

Roagalin. in the same building.
The police took the contents of the case to the
West Thirteth-st. station
At p. m. the temperature was at freezing
point and it continued to fall through the even

wet streets were quickly coated with ice.

wind had a free sweep, resembled large bowl

that to-day will be fair and colder with q cold

The stiff wind was the cause of delay on the
bridge at 6:30 D. m. The delay caused to traffic

Policeman Kettler went to the quarters of

On the one hand. il is alleged that it would be
desirable TO place American currency in the
Philippines TO assist in educating the natives in
American customs and institutions On the
other hand. some officials of the govern
ment say that to extend the American cur
rency system to the Philippines and establish a
branch mint in Manila would too closely allv
the affairs of the FilipinoS with the American
Government. and if at any time il were deter
mined to establish an independent government
in the islands the United States would undergo

dependent currency system TO be the better
scheme, and though il is predicted that when
the Philippines bill is brought up for discussion
there will be some controversy over the currency

to the Filipinos a distinct money system. in
many respects similar to the Spanish money
now used for the most part throughout the

Sunday not day Of rest for William S.
Clarke, the snow inspector Of the Street Clean
ing Department. He was duty all day yes
terday in his Office at Chambers and Centre sts.
The snow had reached the state Of heavy slush
which makes it doubly hard to handle as it falls
away from the shovel and refuses to pile. Four
thousand men were put at work by the district
superintendents early yesterday morning. With
in a few hours eighteen hundred men had
struck, finding it impossible TO work in the slow.
penetrating drizzle. BY moor scarcely one thou
sand men remained at work.
The night inspector remarked to a Tribune re-
porter that any man in New-York City that
begged yesterday should have been arrested
as the department had a great number Of jobs
that were going untitled. The department pays
81 a day, and % cents hour for overtime
work through the night. A house-to-house can
vass through Little Italy was made early in the
day, but the laborers were few. In spite Of the
difficulty of obtaining sufficient workers. the

central avenues had been finished on Saturday
night The cleaners devoted themselves to the
side streets yesterday The snow removed
twenty feet from all crossings, and then ar
