Become Alien at Any Time.

London, jan 23.-The case in which
Colonel Arthur Lynch is being tried
on the charge OF high treason was
again called yesterday. After reading
the deposition OF an American, Lewis
Handley, who said Colonel Lynch had
compelled him to take up arms in be-
half OF the Beers at Glencoe, but VINO
had got off through the intervention
of the American consul corssel for
the defense submitted that the pris-
oner was protected by the naturaliza-
ton laws.
He claimed that man was entitled
to become an alien at any time, even
after the outbreak of war Counsel
contended that Colonel Lynch took up
arms in behalf of the Transvaal with
out secrecy and under the mistaken
belief that the naturalization act per-
mitted this.
The attorney general, Sir Robert
Finlay, replying for the prosecution
argued that Colonel Lynch procured
naturalization for the purpose of fight
ing against his own country. and add
ed that even could naturalization Gov

Operators slame Miners.

Philadelphia. Jan. 23.-The question
OF who is responsible for the aDpar-
ent shortage in the supply OF anthra-

able debate by the attorneys repre-
senting the parties before the strike
commission. 1t was testified to that
Mitchell's request to make extra ef
forts to produce more coal to relieve
the situation. c. S. Darrow, for the
miners, replied that he would show
that it was the operators and not the
men who were responsible for the
shortage in the production. "If
don't" he said, 81 will ask the com

AMERICAN MONEY FOR ISLANDS.
Substitute Passes for Redemption Of
Mexican and Spanish Dollars at
Bullion Value in Six Months-sen-
ate Discusses Statehood Bill.

Washington jan. 23.-The house
leaders went down to signal defeat
yesterday, when the house, by vote
Of 146 to 129, rejected the Philippine
coinage bill, reported by the insular
affairs committee and adopted the
substitute offered by the minority for
the introduction OF American currency
and the American coinage system in
the islands. The insular committee
includes il is membership the cnalr-
men OF tne most powerful commit
tees OF the house, Cannon. chairman
of the appropriations; Hit, chairman
of foreign affairs; Payne. chairman Of
ways and means; Hepburn, chairman
interstate commerce, and Tawney,
chairman of the committee on expo
sitions. They reported bill to estap-
lish the gold standard in the islands
and to authorize the coinage of silver
pesos OF 416 grains, to be made legal
tender at the rate of two pesos for one
gold dollar. The majority members
made gallant fight for their BILL but
a considerable number of Republicans,
the lead of Hill (Conn.). Fowler IN.
J.) and Mccall (Mass.), joined with
the Democrats and carried through the
substitute. The fact that Secretary
Shaw and other high treasury officials
were quoted on the floor as favorine
the substitute aided in the overthrow
Of the committee bill. Their opinions
were advanced as against those ot
GoyernorssHaft and other members OF
the Philippine commission.
The substitute passed provides that
the lawful money of the United States
shall be aSlegal tender in the Philip
pines and declares the coinage laws Of
the United States to be in full force
there. 1t provides for the redemption
of the Mexican and Spanish silver, mo-
including any Mexican pesos imported
into the islands after March Is. 1903
at their bullion value, as declared from
time to time by the Philippine com
mission, the silver coin authorized b,
the Philippine government act to b.
redeemed at the rate of two peso
for one United States currency. Ate
