TWO COUNIERFEITERS
 ARRESTED BY POLICE
MEN TAKEN AT POINT OF RE-
 VoLYER.

Detective Frey and ohicer HolIinxer
 Get Complete Kit and Also Money
 Manufactured--Liquid Used in Pro-
 cess Said to Have Been stolen from
 Russian Goyernment-Bofh Men Are
 Russians and Live in New York
 Have an Entirely New and Simple
 Process-woman Gives Information.
 Early this morning Detective Frey and Officer Robert Hollinger cleared up one of the most important cases oi counterfeiting which has ever occurred in this state. The entire layout was se- cured, and all those interested were ar- rested at the point of drawn revolvers, All the old officers about the station this morning when the counterfeiting kit was brought in said that it was the most complete and the simplest which they had ever seen or heard of What lends additional interest to the case is the fact that the principal chemical used is said to come direct from the Russian government, where it must have been stolen and that this is the only place in the world where this ex- act form of chemical is used, its mailll- facture being government secret.
 About 11:15 o'clock last night as Off, cer Hollinger was walking his beat on Congress avenue as he passed the Jew ish restaurant and lodging house kept by Mrs. Tony Tanduam at 63 Congress avenue, Mrs. Tanduam called him as he passed the place and said, "Say, officer do you want to see the way money is made?' Officer Hollinger asked the woman what she meant and this is the story she told.
 Two days ago two Russians came to her house and engaged room. The fact that they kept in the room all the while and their actions aroused her sus- picions. Yesterday afternoon she de- cided to investigate. By entering al room next to that occupied by the men she could see and hear everything that went on. She saw the men by means of a little machine making splendid new bills with great rapidity.

In the conversation according to the police, she heard tf1s men say that Sunday was the best daS for them to work. They were making one dollar bills and decided that to-day they could make some $100 bills and could then skip. It seems that the men had had another counterfeitina kit exactly like the one they were then using, and that in some former place in this city where they had been stop. ping they had been working this, bud were obliged to leave it, as they thought they were being watched Con corning this last statement the woman was not centain that the men had Jeff

ONE CONDITION OF PEACE,
Russia May be Asked to Forego Build
 ing ShIps.A

Paris March 26.-It was stateu II
 dinlomatic circles here to-day that
 among the conditions of peace w'hdcn
 Japan might ask would that Russia
 give a pledge to build no more war
 ships for term of years. A dipioflattic itll l.
 official said that such a condition woulu
 he inc most effective means of assur-
 ing Japan against Russia's carrying
 out her cherished project of naval re-
 armament. for the renewal of hostill--
 ;ties under better conditions than those
 at present prevailing, s..5 It is well known that Russia contem-
 plates a huge plan of naval realabilita- i
 tion. Admiral Doubassoff, the head of the technical board of the admiralty, Captain Clado, formerly chief tact1cal officer under Vice Admiral Rojestvens' ky. and other Russian naval author ities recently flave taken the position that peace was desirable until naval reconstruction could be completed. This appears to have stimulated Japan's dip lpmats to consider means of avoiding a peace that would be equivalent to no
 more than a truce, during which Rus, sia would have time to forge aii e el- fective weapon, and therefore the in timatior is now given that limitation of
 Russian naval armament may figure as | a means of ensuring a prolonged peace l in the orient.
 l Concerning the recent preliminary ap- proaches towards peace, it is now ac- cepted iil the highest diplomatic quar- | ters that these preliminary negotiations did not occur here, although Paris may have been the channel through which the results were transmitted to St. Pe- ! tersburg and Tokio. However, it is no, lticeable that there has not been the slightest reference in French neWspa-
 pers to the peace movement having taken tangible form here or elsewhere, except in continued academic discus sion of the peace propaganda, and a few vague St.. Petersburg dispatches showing that peace is in the air.

 for Reform of Monetary system.

President Diaz, of Mexico, Issues Decree
 for Reform of Monetary system.
 Mexico City, March 26.-President Diaz has issued a decree for the re- form of the monetary system as au- thorized by congress last December. The decree established the "peso'' or silver dollar at a value of fifty cents gold and the theoretical unit of the Mexican currency and defined to be the dollar or "peso'' of seventy-five centigrams of gold An important feat ure of the. decree is 8 provision for re- serve exchange fund which at first will consist of $10,00OO0O or $15,000,0o0 and may be increased. The first plan did not provide for the immediate estab- lishment of this fund. but it is now deemed wise to start one simultaneous ly with the beginning of the new mon- etary system. F
 The hints will be closed April 16 to the free coinage of silver and the new monetary system will go into effect May 1. Et"
 The publication of the decree gives great satisfaction in business and f. nancial circles. It assures continu- ance of stable exchange and assures business men against losses in import ing.

VIEWS RUSSIAN TREASURE.
London Daily Mails Correspondent l. .A Looks Over Reserve.

a E
 London. March The correspondent at St. Petersburg of the Daily Mail re- ports that he accepted the invitation of Finance Minister Kokovekoff to inspect the reserves of gold in the state bank, and describes his visit to that institu- tion. He says: '9The bank officials made much ceremony of unlocking the gate of the strong rooms but the actual view of $325 5,O00,00O of gold was found a su- premely 'uninteresting, tedious and de- pressing spectacle. Over 12,500 sacks of gold coin stacked in rows on the floor of the long vault looked no more i'm. pressive than sacks of merchandise in an ordinary warehouse, whilst 15,913 gold ingots were closely packed on shelves like books in a library less sug- gested their value than the shelves of an iron monger's store. It has the effect of dado in g. subdued yellow tone, not unattraetive as color scheme taken in combination with the grey canvas sacks and the white ceiling. The officials invited the correspondent to count and verify the contents of the sacks and shelves. That naturally was impossible, but he has not the slightest doubt that the amount represented in the reserve figures was there.
