THE TROUBLE AT ST. ANDREWS.
It is Supposed That American Trade
Interests Have Been Molested.

The destination of the cruiser Nashville
which is going to Isthmi2n waters on a
special mission is st. Andrews. island
belonging to Colombia, about 12o miles east
OF Bluefields, Nicaragua. The island is a
place of small commercial Importance and
is not included in the route of merchant
steamers, all her trade being carried by
small schoonerS. The exact character of
the trouble there has not been stated, but
ii is supposed that some American trade
interests have been moleSted, and that the
appeal for assistance came from their rep
resentatives on the island. There is no
American consular representative at St.
Andrews, the nearest consular officer being
Mr.. Edwin w. Trimmer, United States
consular agent at Bluefields. but the appli-
cation for American warship did not
come from him, was reported.
Mr. Trimmer left Bluefelds August 2S,
on leave of absence to visit his home in the
United States, and he is now in this city.
He called at the State Department this
morning to confer with the officials in re-
gard to the necessity of eXpediting his re-
turn to his post. He said that everything
was quiet at Bluefields when he left there,
with no indications of any future trouble
American warship did not come from Blue
fields, but from ST. Andrews. and that so
far known there was no occasion for a
visit to the former place. The Nashville
is now al Pensacola and is expected to
start on her mission to St. Andrews in a
day or two. Her commander Is instructed
to investigate affairs there and take what
ever steps are necessary for the protection
of American interests.

POSTMASTER MERRITT EXPLAINS
Effect of His Order in Regard to Regis
tered Mail Matter.

An order was issued by Postmaster Mer-
ritt on the 9th of this month requiring
branch post offices in this city to register
mail matter when presented for that pur-
pose at any time when such offices were
cluded.
This order has caused some criticism
based on the idea that the Sabbath has
been violated by requiring additional work
on the part of the branch post offices.
When seen by Star reporter today Post
master Merritt explained that the matter of
having mail matter registered on Sundays
and holidays and during evenings was
brought to his attention by the superin-
tendent of the registry division. An order
was issued by the postmaster which re-
quired that matter should be registered
when presented at any time the branch
post offices open for business The or
der does not require any of the branch
offices to remain open longer than usual.
The order chiefly affects branch offices
that are located in drug stores. 1t had not
been customary for these offices to receive
matter for registry on Sundays and holi-
days or late in the evening, although they
all sold stamps at any hour The only
effect of the order has been to allow the
registry of mail matter without keeping
any one on duty in the drug store branch
Office longer than usual in any instance.
Postmaster Merritt stated today that he
had received from Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts a
protest against this order. and he now has
the matter under consideration. He stated
that he had never given any order that
would affect the observance of the Sabbath,
and il was not his intention to do SO in this
instance The branch offices being open he
merely required that mail matter should be
received for registration.

REFORM OF CURRENCY
DOMINANT NOTE OF THE BANK
ERs' CONVENTION.
Belief Held That Inaction is Better
Than the Adoption of Make
shift Measure.

The dominant note of the convention OF
Maryland and District bankers was SO uh-
mistakabl according to the reports OF the
participants, as to throw some light on the
currency reform outlook. The occasion was
significant because of the presence OF SO
many government officials and by reason OF
the representative character OF Baltimore
and Washington financial interests, ana
their potent influence over large sections OF
the south and west.
There seemed to be an agreement that un-
til some specific plan is reached upon "hlch
all currency reformers could practlcally
agree it would be better not to- make any
change in existing laws, for the coming
session of Congress at least.
The friends of scientific system or credt
currency among the bankers are so deslrous
that future efforts for comprehensive re-
form be not frustrated by any temporary
makeshift. such could be enacted now.
that they are willing to accept poilcy oi
inaction.
The bankers of Baltimore have become
convinced that political considerations on
the eve of presidential campaign, prevent
any adequate treatment of the question:,
especially when the outcome of that cam
paign is regarded certain unless some
disquietng issue be introduced.
This fact, with the next Speakers we'll
known attitude convnces many of the cur
rency reformers that this is an inopportune
time for their efforts. Controller R1dseley,
who has been in sympathy with the reform,
stated in his address that 1t was wiser not
to do anything than to run the risk of doing
the wrong thing. Secretary Shaw empha-
sized the point that bond security as ba-
sis for bank note circulation was nearing
it's end, and that it would be folly for the
government to maintain a debt for the pur-
pose of furnishing securities.
What next?' he asked He recommend
ed that students of banking questions
throughout the country put their heads to
work on the best solution, and his audi
ence seemed in complete agreement as to
the need of some change, but equally agreed
that this was an inopportune time to
make it.
Secretary Shaw said that there was lit
tie beauty in the architecture of our imam
cial structure.
1t reminded him of the Chicago woman
who repelled the asrersion that the windy
city had no architecture by saying that 1t
had every kind in the same building. He
likened the various currency proposals TO
architectural changes, or additions. in a
structure already greatly confused. and re-
pea ted his own preference for cyclone cell
lar, to which he compared his emergency
circulation proposal.
The conclusion carried away by the bank
ers from the convention was that solution
of the problem is imperative, but that for
political and other reasons it had better not
be attempted at the coming session of Con-
