REPORT ON MONEY
RATIO GIVEN OUT

Washington. D. c.. Oct. 26.-The re-
port of the Commission on Iuterna-
tional Monetary Exchange has been
made public at the State Department.
The commission agrees that the use Of
silver in large quantities cannot be dis
continued. but thinks that the free
coinage OF the white metal could be
stopped with advantage. 1t agrees up
ON the soundness of the proposition
urging the establishment of definite
gold exchange ratio in the present silver
using countries, and the belief Is ex-
pressed in the report that the estab-
lishment of such a standard would
contribute greatly to the economic
progress of those countries.
The tenor of the commissions report
Is that the various countries should not
purchase more silver than is required
to supply their actual demands. and
that these purchases should be at reg
ular intervals. 1t was agreed upon the
part OF five of the powers-Germany,
France, the Netherlands, Mexico and
the United States-that the best meth
cd was to begin the issue of new cur
rency at fixed gold parity, while up
on the part of Great Britain and Rus
sia there was disposition to favor be-
ginning on q silver basis with the view
of first supplying the country with a
uniform currency and then giving it.
within a short interval, fixed gold
value.
The countries having dependencies
or interests in the Orient suggested a
ratio of 80 to I. This rate. however.
does not meet with the approval OF
Mexico and one or two OF the other
powers.

LOU DILLON AGAIN
BREAKS RECORD

Memphis. Oct. 25.-Lou Dillon, the
peerless trotter. owned by c. K G Bill
ings of Chicago and driven by Millard
Sanders, yesterday proved her right to
the proud title of queen of the turf by
trotting a mile under adverse condi-
tions in the remarkable time of 1:581s.
The daughter of Sidney Dillon was
paced by runner driven by Scott Nc
Coy, and another runner followed
closely to urge the mare to supreme eff
fort. A strong wind from the north
swept down the long back stretch. how
ever, and Judge Newton announced to
the spectators that too much should not.
be expected of the game little trotter-
After the mare had been blanketed
and sent to her barn. Sanders, her
driver. said:
Il am not bit surprised at the re-
suit of Lou Dillon's effort. l expected
to break the worlds record, despite
the adverse conditions. l desire to say
that in my candid opinion that Lou
Dillon can trot as fast as any horse in
the world can pace, and next year
perfect conditions to-day l would be
afraid to say how fast the mare
would have trotted the mile"
Two other worlds records were
broken this afternoon. Darrell, a hay
mare by Alexander. was driven by Nc
Donald. and paced a mile in 2:00H.
The former pacing record for a mare
was held by Fanny Dillard. 2:03A.
Equity and The Monk, from Mr.. BIZ
ling's stable, were sent mile against
the 2:12A trottins pole record The
two horses were driven by Mr.. Billings
in faultless style and passed under the
wire in 2:09A.

viii Build Electric Lines.

New York, Oct. 26.-The New York
Central railroad is planning to estab-
lish electric roads as suburban branches
in the central and western part OF this
state in order to save local traffic
which has been cut into heavily by the
Independent trolley lines. The policy
which the Central adopted two years
ago for meeting trolley competition by
reducing fares and increasing the num-
Der Of trains has proved Ineffective.

Army Maneuvers,

Fort Riley, Kans.. Oct. 25.-A grand
review of all the troops in camp was
held yesterday morning on the flats
south of the Republican river. The
scene from the hills above the flats was
beautiful. The masses of troops ex-
tended for fully two miles in extreme
length. and when the long ranks went
sweeping along with the bands playing
colors flying and the sparkle Of pol
ished steel. the spectators broke out
into enthusiastic cheers.
In the afternoon the officers Of the
engineer battalion under Major Leech
gave practical demonstration In tho
construction OF entertainments.
