From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Henry c. Ezekiel is now at work gather

The case was the invention of John Gault
of Boston and was made a necessity on &C
count of the people boarding metal coin
until they were able to sell at high premi-
ums. Gault secured the consent of Con-
gress to issue the cases in lieu of regular
coin. They were made of brass and mica.
The cases were sold at an advanced price
to the merchants whose names or adver-
tisements appeared on them for the purpose
of circulating them currency
Mr.. Ezekiel has been. gathering facts
about the issue of these peculiar coins and
finds that they We're put into crcula ton by
thirty-one firms, and up to the present time
has found records of 1I2 different names,
varieties and denominations In this list
there were only six dry goods firms in this
country to issue the cases, and four of these
were Cincinnati houses. The firms were
John Shillito & Co., Ellis, McAlpin & Co,
Pearce, Toolle & Holton and l.. c. Hopkins
& Co. The others We're Lord & Taylor of
New York and Joseph L. Bates Of Boston.

postage stamps, but few can be found to-

sweden's Dissolution Terms to NORWAY

The Norwegian government within a day
or two will submit proposal relating to
the dissolution of the union of Norway and
Sweden. Both governments are anxious to
secure a solution of the difficulties at the
earliest date possible. Consequently. 1t IS
understood, that the storthing Will request
the riksdag to secure dissolution of the
union by formal resolution and repeal or
the treaty, and will Immediately authorize
the government to negotiate with the riks-
dag concerning Swedens conditions. There
is an apparent strong feeling against the
acceptance In toto of Swedens terms, ana
especially against the destruction of any
fortress. Should Sweden not recede. 1t Is
considered probable that Norway will pro-
pose arbitration Of the disputed points.

Half a Billion in Bank Notes,

From the Providence Journal.
For the first time in the history of the
national banks their note circulation now
exceeds $500 600, 600 the aggregate out
standing at the end of July being returned
as 500, 100000. This is an increase of 40
per cent in little less than seven years;
SAG, COO 900 has been added to the circula-
ton in the last nine months alone. Whether
SO large an addition to the currency is
wholly beneficial, whether it may not por-
tend abnormal gold exports, with resulting
scarcity of reserve money at the centers,
are questions that cannot be answered Off
hand with entire confidence. But it must
be borne in mind that simultaneously with
this increase in bank note circulation the
banking resources of the country have
practically doubled and the population has
increased nearly 100000. Room has thus
been made for considerably enlarged use
of bank notes, anyway

Soft Coal for Warships.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
notwithstanding the experience of the
navy with anthracite coal In the past, the
Navy Department will carry out some so
called experiments with this variety of fuel
In the immediate future. 1t has been truly
said by the older officers In. the navy that
the battle of Santiago could never have
been fought with hard coal in the bunkers
of the American fleet. The facility with
which steam can be raised with bituminous
coal when sudden emergency arises can
never be attained where anthracite coal is
employed Bulk for bulk. bituminous coal
will carry vessel further with less fatigue
to the fire room personnel than hard coal. :
