CHINESE CURRENCY REFORMS.
Changes Directed in Recent Imperial
Edict.

The Treasury Department has received
through the State Department the copy Of
an imperial edict issued by the Emperor OF
China in April and published in the Picking
Gazette. directing changes In the financial
system of China. The emperor refers to
the unsatisfactory financial conditions and
to the fact that the financial resources are
exhausted. There should be regulations
suited to the exigencies Of the times, he
says. He therefore appoints I-kuang
Prince of Ching and Ch'u Hung-chi to con.
fer with the board of revenue concerning
changes that ought to be made. The silver
coins in the different provinces are of vary
ing degrees of fneness and of many designs,
causing embarrassment, the emperor says,
to the mercantile classes The emperor
suggests one design for each coin through
out the empire and the establishment of a
central mint at Picking for the coinage of
silver. After new coins are mnted the
Likn dues and all other moneys due the
government must be paid in them. The en-
peror says that no deviation from this
order must be allowed in either the imper-
ial treasury or the provincial treasures.
When the matter has been arranged the
emperor will issue edict for uniform
coinage and see that it is carried out

Place Of Recreation in Georgetown

Albert w. ,Thiel Of BIS Cambridge place
northwest has made suggestions to the
Commissioners c9nserning the matter of a
public park in Georgetown. He does not
think the people swould enjoy sitting In a
converted graveyard. 1t was proposed re-
Gently that the Commissioners should take
the square occupied by an abandoned ceme-
terry bounded by SD, Saith. @ and r streets,
and convert it into public park. The writer
suggests the use of the land occupied by
the old reservoir. This. he says, adjoins the
Joyce place, which is offered for sale, to-
gether with the vacant square to the east
of it. and would make an admirable park
The location is bounded by BED, U, Valley
and Scott ssreets. 1t is high and healthy
and commands a view of Fort Myer and
the river. The writer thinks the grave
yard site would be good as an additional
park, but should not be the principal one
