MEXICO s;OLlDLY
ON GOLD BASIS
MINIS Closed to Free Coinage, Tho

New York Sui, Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
City of Mexico, April 17.-Today the
mints of Mexico were closed to the free
coinage Of gold and silver and the ma
tion is now officially on the gold basis.
To all intents and purposes this basis
has been maintained since the first of
the present year, thru the steps taken
by the government toward a stable
currency. Instead of the dire results
predicted by adherents of the old
standard, an era Of progress and devel-
opment has been inaugurated.
While the date for the adoption Of
the gold standard was still months in
the future, so persistent and unswerv-
ing was the action of the government
that the business public regarded it as
a foregone conclusion and Mexican ex-
change ceased to fluctuate. Merchants
accustomed to figuring big margins Of
uncertain trend took the Mexican sill
yer dollar for what the government said
it was worth and transacted business
accordingly. Foreign companies ar
ranged future business on the same
basis
The Mexican government has given
the currency question a final touch Gre

Former President Declares the
Fisherman and Hunter Born,

New York, April 17.-In the first
number Of Country Calendar, a maya
zine devoted to the problems and en-
thusiasms of country loving persons,
grover Cleveland makes a valiant de-
tense of hunting and fishing, and Incl
dentally enters q personal rejoinder to
the accusation that he uses his sports
mans expeditions as cloak for dis
slpat1on. He writes as follows:
I am sure that it is not necessary for
me at this late day to dwell upon the fact
that am an enthusiast in my devotion to
hunting and fishing, as well as any other
kind of outdoor recreation. am SO proud
OF this devotion that If my sporting pro-
cllvl1ies have at times subjected me tc

cisms and prosecutions as nothing more
serious than gnat stings suffered on tho
bank Of strheam, to be borne with pa

Thus when short fishing excursions, ir
which have sought relief from killing
vexations and perplexities Of official duty
have been denounced in ;, mendacious
newspapers as dishonest devices to GOV.

to enjoy, a sort Of pleasurable conte1mp
for the author of the accusation, while
congratulating myself on the mental ant
physical restoration I had derived from
these excursions s@ -.

THE LEGISLA AZURE
WON'T LEGALIzE
The EXTENSIONS
SENATE REFUSES TO PASS A TRES
PASS BILL.
somerville Leads Fight Against Meas.
ure, Claiming It Is an Interference
With Attorney General-Free En-
ployment Agency Bill Passed.

The senate to-day defeated the CAL
houn bill, S. F. $40, legaizing the state
auditors settlement of the trespass COM
mitted by his consent on state lands by
purchasers Of timber after their permit
had expired. ts~e- "a tssl
Senator somerville declared that
legally the trespass was wilful and n
legalize felony. The governor had
already turned the matter over to the
attorney general to bring suit. If the
bill was passed the governor would veto
it, as he should do. 1t was an interior
ence by the legislature with the legal
department of the state.
Senator Calhoun defended the bill,
explaining that the cutting was au-
thorized by the state timber board.
Senator Somerville said the board had
no right to make such an extension and
had not assumed it.
Senator Horton objected to the
change that had been made in the orig
inal bill, removing some of the descrip-
tions Of tracts of land.
On a rollcall there were but 81 yeas
and 25 nays, so the bill failed to pass.

The senate devoted today to the pas
sage of bills. 1t was decided to con-
slider first all bills on the calendar, then
on call of the roll, to allow each SEN
ator to call up under suspension Of
the rules any bill in the possession of
the senate for passage.
Perhaps the most important bill
passed On the calendar was S. F. 395,
known as the Barker primary election
bill, providing for election of delegates
Ito county conventions at a primary
election. The bill went to vote without
debate and received 81 years, II nays.
Liquor Bill Passed.

the sale of liquors in country districts
for future delivery on a $500 license,
was passed 46 to 3.

The senate under suspension of the
rules, passed II. F. "a, by Representa-
tive selb, providing for free state
employment bureau and appropriating
& $3.50 year therefor. The bill does
not locate the office.
The Chamberlain juvenile court bills
both passed the senate. One provides
for the assignment of one district Judge
to hold special juvenile court in Min,
neapolis. The second raises the salary
of the probate officer of the court from
$1,000 to $500.

Says Togo Will Fight at Home.
A high-placed admiral expressed to!
the Associated Press today the firm
conviction that Admiral Togo would
not give battle near the Pescadores
islands, Formosa straits. He said:
1t would be a great tactical error to
concentrate his squadron 80 0miles from
Japan and run the risk of having Rojest-
vensky slip by, when by remaining in
home waters. Rojestvensky must come to
him in order to reach his only base, VIad-
ivostok.

miral as do, his own flag captain was
probably i'll the dark when he entered the

speed Of his vessels is concerned, but the
reports of the condition of his ships and
crews and the latter's skill in gunnery, as
shown by their target practice, are better
than we considered possible, and we firm

The appearance Of case Of beriberi
