Treasury Department to-day. all seeking
to have pennies Of 1902 redeemed At 10
cents each.
A statement has been published that Un-
Gle Sam is willing to pay 10 cents for every
1902 copper presented for redemption It II
claimed the gold and copper were mixed In
some mysterious way in the mint and the
pennies contain q large percentage OF the
precious metal.
The Treasury ofYicials laughed at the first
applicant, but the affair has assumed Sc
rious aspect and Is rapidly becoming sore
subject with them.
Not only have there been hundreds Of Wis
itors carrying handfuls Of pennies. but let
tiers are coming in from all parts Of the
country.
ut looks as though We would have TO
print an answer denying such manifestly
absurd statement" said one ofhcfa1, ''or
detail a special clerk to answer these let
ters."
One woman appeared at the redemption
window yesterday with purse full OF lSo2
pennies.

"Whatr' asked the clerk.

woman's last-word tone.
Madame, will sell you 800 1900 pennies
for IS BILL" said the clerk
obi she gasped.
Another man insisted that he be paid -
cents each for his pennies. Small boys have
apparently collected most Of the 1902 pom
niles in the city and are haunting the
Treasury.
Tnat any gold could be mixed in the PEN
MES is an impossibility. the oficials declare.

POLITICAL. SIDE.
Let's consider the political side Of the

do not tell the truth. They have for years
fought me politically because I. in my
papers have Ss sem as t an

They fought me for nomination. and the
the convention for me against six able op-
ponents.
They fought me for election after nomi-
nation, and the people of Missouri sus-
tanned me by giving me $50 more votes than
they gave William J. Bryan Tor President.
They sent committees around to my ad-
vertfsers and agents to my subscribers to

out nothing more than that peaceful solution

The British government. it is understood from
another source. has represented to the Car that
Great Britain deems Japan's demands just. and
earnestly expects that Russia will grant them.
This representation is supported by the utter
ances of the British ambassadors here and in
Paris and Vienna. who have informed the re-
spectiye governments to which they are &C
credited that Japan in the opinion of the British
government. win fight If Russia holds to the
position taken in her recent note.
The Russian Ambassador here has for several
days been freely asking the opinions of the
diplomatic corps.
London. Dec. 24.-On the supposition that
Great Britain. as last resort, might threaten
forcibly to interfere. the United States Naval
Attache, Captain Charles II. Stockton, pointed
out to-day that Great Britain's naval mobiliza-
ton at the present moment was great factor
toward peace In the Far East. He said:
The Mediterranean fleet is near Suez. The
British feet now in the Far East could quickly
be reinforced by part or possibly even the whole
of the Mediterranean feet whose duties would
then be taken up by the Channel Squadron leav-
ing the home squadron in British waters. Great
Britain never had many ships in commission
or men ahoat as she has to-day.

John II. Beacon. similarly pointed out that II
