ROOT AND IDE CONFER ON CURRENCY.
Difference of Price of Mexican Dollars May
Cause Importation Into Manila.

Washington Aug. 12-Secretary Root left here to-
day for NewYork. He will be absent until Satur-
day Before going he had conference with Judge
Henry c. Ide. financial officer OF the Philippine
commission, who is his way 20 Manila The
currency question was discussed. and, in view OF
the near approach the time when the new Philip
pine currency law will go into effect, cable mes
sages the subject have been exchanged with
Governor Taft. September 1 is the date when the
new law viii be put in force unless something
unforeseen happens in Oriental finances to make a
delay necessary.
The insular bureau OF the War Department has
been unOf1cialy Informed that the price Of the
Mexican dollar in Manila is 46l4 cents. I'm Hong
Kong ~ cents and in New-York ga cents. IL has
been suggested that the difference between the
price in Manila and Hong Kong will result in
large importation of Mexican dollars and the Eng
lish bankers have suggested that import tax be
levied the Mexican currency to protect The Fill
pinos who hold Mexican dollars
The War Department authorities take the view
that the bankers probably hold more Mexican
money than the people. and that such a tax is Un-
necessary. These Mexican dollars will not be re-
ceived for public dues and imposts after the new
currency law goes into effect. The position Of the
War Department is that there should be TO inter
ference with the Mexican dollars. they are
floating foreign coin 1t Is probable that the span

the Spanish coins in Porto Rico, as II IS held
that the Spanish coins were part OF the govern

Like One of the Crawfords.

Paris, Aug. 12-Witnesses at the Hunabert
trial to-day positively identified Roman and
Emile Daurignac, Nine Therese Humbert's
brothers, as being the men who impersonated
the American millionaires," Robert and Henry
Crawford Other witnesses testified that the
signatures OF the two Crawfords were executed
by the two Daurignacs. Personal identihcations
were given by notary. named Dupuy, and a
court clerk, named Dehez, of Bayonne before
whom the alleged Crawfords took out legal pa
pers which were used in keeping off the cred
itors of the Humbert family
After NJ. Dupuy had described the visit to him
of the Crawford brothers. the court directed
Roman Daurignac to stand up. The witness
recognized Roman as the one who had taken
out the Crawford pa pers. The witness was less
about Emile. Dehez similarly gave a de-
tailed Identification of Roman Daurignae.
Inspect him Closely ordered the judge. DO
you formally recognize Roman Daurignac?'
II am absolutely sure answered the witness
Judge Bennett then addressed Roman, say
ing: You are the object of formal identihca-
ton"
That does not astonish me-" answered Ro-
main, sarcastically.

swore, from a comparison OF the handwriting,
that Roman and Emile Daurignac had respec-
lively played the parts of Robert and Henry
Crawford.
Three employees of the postof1ce positively
identified Roman Daurignac the who

HORRORS OF REBELLION.
Murder and Rapne by Turks
Tactics of Insurgents.

London, Aug 13.-"The Daily Mail'' this
morning prints a dispatch from Belgrade which
says that the Macedonian insurgents never ap-
pear in great numbers but in scattered detach-
ments, thus battling the Turkish troops ana
avoiding open encounters. They confine them
selves mostly to the destruction of vilagels and
crops. expecting in this way to compel the
populace to join the rebellion
The Turkish soldiers are powerless TO deal
with these small bands but TO show that they
are active they occasionally loot peaceful Chris
tian villages and perpetrate the most terrible
outrages under the pretence Of combating the
insurgents. Bashi-B -BazoukS have become the
curse of the villages. They rob and murder IN
discriminatory and anarchy reigns- A climax
Of terrible massacres may occur at any time
Even at Belgrade the Mahometans are begin
ming 10 arm themselves The Turks now
threaten to use dynamite. As far as known
the following villages have been totally de-
stroyed: Kortschu, Nared, Narakow koSlnets,
Schelevo Lichna deres, Vladovo, Ostrovo, Soro-
witch Eskis6hu, Bakitz and Jezer. On Tuesday
the rebels failed in an attempt to set fire to
AIonastir. The correspondent regards the situa-
ton as desperate.

TUNNEL HERE WILL STAY LIGHTED
Mr.. Belmont Says Lighting and Power
Plants Will Be Separated.

August Belmont, president of the Interborougk
Rapid Transit Company, who returned from Sara
toga yesterday, emphatic in asserting that
disaster like that which happened in the Paris tun~
pei would be impossible in the subway in this
city. He added:
1 indorso everything Mr.. Bryan vice-president of
the InterbOrOugh Company, has said to the alb
solute impossbiity of disaster like that in Paris
occurring in the New-York subway. l want to m
phaSize the fact that the tunIel in Paris well
ventilated. while in the New-York subway methods
have been adopted to insure the free circulation
OF air. Both on account of the better circulation
and the fact that part Of the New York system is
elevated structure and trains run in from and out
10 the open air. there win be a Syphoning Of air
in the tunnel by moving trains which viii make
the conditions here far better than in the Paris
subway, which is all underground.
Besides this, the entrances and exits of the New
York subway stations open Those of Paris
provided with self-closng doors which are
always closed, except when people are actually
passing through them. ] also want to emphasize
one OF the most important features of the New
York subway not touched upon in any OF yester-
days interviews. The system here has an indie
pendent lighting plant provided. One plant gen
crates power ana the other plant generates cleo
tricity for lighting the subway and stations In
Paris the lights in the tunnel went out and this
added greatly TO the loss Of life. IN our system
whatever may occur IN the tunnel Il Is so arranged
that 1t shall be perpetualy lighted by perfectly
Independent plant and current, throughout the
entire tunnel and all stations.

his apartment for the first time since his faint

the Vatican gardens. He remained in the open

feeling much better. Drs. Lapponi and Dave
nezia visited Plus to-day, and. though they
found him almost entirely recovered, they con-
tinued to recommend that he should take rest
and abstention from all work.
But this will mean such an accumulation of
work that it will kill me afterward to catch up
with it," said the Pope in reply.
Two photographers took pictures of the Pope

received in private audience the Mayor Of

AN INDUSTRIAL COMPARISON.
German Engineers Advised to Visit United
States-Goods Said To Be About Equal.

Berlin Aug. 12-Privy Councillor Lueg the presi-
dent of the Dusseldorf Exposition of Rhenish-
Westphalian industries, held in 1902 who recently
made a trip through the United States. to-day
made an address to an assembly representing the
various trade organizations of Dusseldorf in which
he summarized the results OF his observations. He
recommended young German engineers TO visit the
United States. because something could be learned
there, wherever one looked. Herr Lueg concluded:
I readily admit that the excellent arrangements
in the factories impressed me everywhere, but the
goods produced are by no means better than ours.
German manufactures can we'll stand comparison
with American and 1 think need not take too
tragically the American danger of which all the
world is talking. OF course, we should not delay
in improving our methods of production in the light
Of observations made in the United States, and
every German engineer should contribute his ut
most to that end. This. in my opinion. will not be
difficult for the conditions of production with
decidedly better than in the United States. and
machine tools are at least equal to those of our
rivals.
except where goods are manufactured in bulk, Is
nearly high in Germany, if not higher
American works producing pig iron and steel have
the advantage of cheap freights without mention

the railways and the lines, in which Ger
