The senate committee provides for the
chimes instead of purchase alone, as
provided by the public bill.
Provisions for the payment to the
Oceanic Steamship company at a rate
of 81 per mile for the carrying of mail
between San Francisco and Tahiti was
restored to the bill. This provision
has been in the postoffice appropria-
ton bills for number of years, but
was eliminated by the house on the
ground that it was a subsidy. The
senate committee has restricted the
payments to $4,000 annually.

More Subsidiary Silver.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
The senate committee on finance to-
day Endorsed an amendment to the
sundry civil bill providing for the re-
moval of the limitations as to the
coinage of subsidiary silver. The
amendment provides that all lmita-
tons as to the amount of subsidiary
silver coinage that may be outstand-
ing are hereby removed" 1t is held
by the treasury department that the
outstanding subsidiary silver is limited
by the act of 1900 to 500, 100000, with
the exception of the bullion purchased
under the Sherman law of 1890. This
silver is about exhausted, so that the
limit for all practical purposes is $780,
100000. The amendment is offered at
the request of Secretary Shaw, who
sent to the finance committee a letter
stating the necessity for an act to
clear away existing confusion as to
the meaning of the law.

HOW LARGE THE ARMIEs9
LONDON, March 80. - No Japanese
report of the land operations in Korea
+,
is much speculation as to the size
Of the opposing armies, regarding
which there is no reliable information.
A correspondent at Russian head
quarters in Mukden telegraphs that
according to reports received there
about 10000 Japanese have crossed the
river at Chin Changu and 5000 have
advanced north from Chong- ju.
The Chronicles Shanghai correspond
ent asserts that practically the whole
japanese army In Korea, consisting of
100000 men, is concentrated at PAX Chen
and An-ju, only small attachments be-
ing left in Southern Korea to main
tain communication.
A st. Petersburg special says that a
Russian division of $4,000 men from
Southern Ussuri is advancing In two
columns through Korea. The main
column, coming along the east coast
road, reached Puk Chang, $50 miles
from Tumen river, and the Ranking col
umn, consisting Of Cossacks and
mountain artillery, coming along the
valley of the Tumen river towards it's
source, has reached the coast Of Lake
Tadji. This column reports that the
japanese are advancing north from
Gensan and that their advance guard is
encamped at Chong Hing. 1t is prob
able, however, that none of these re-
ports can be accepted as authentic.

spitefuI Italian concocts an Assassina-

NEW YORK, March 29.-The story
of an alleged plot to assassinate Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which proved to be en-
.tirely without foundation, was made
public today by Police Commissioner
McAdoo Several days ago the COM
missioner received a letter from an
italian in Italy saying that another
Italian was about to come to this
country for the express purpose of as
sassinating the president. The writer
gave a detailed description of the al
legged anarchist, the steamer on which
he would sail and full details of the
alleged plot. When the steamer dock
ed an inspector was on hand with de-
tectives and the suspect was detained.
Investigation, however, showed that
the case was purely one of spite on
the part of the man who wrote the
letter. The detained man was not an
anarchist and had a perfect right to
enter this country. He was allowed
to land. The object Of the letter was
to have the man deported.

has written many better ones, and few

his story all prctence of p"nt-up nlys-

ness. A Roman peasant girl of splen-

country. and it's characters are of the
sort with which we have become per-

vious tales of Roman people ana
places. In short, whatsoever Shall

really like this sort of thing are not to
be altogether disappointed. While the

something. and have obtained material
