MEXICAN Silver Dollars.

Washington. On April /, in esti.
mating the value Of foreign coins for
custom purposes, the Secretary OF the
Treasury proclaimed the value of the
Mexican silver dollar for the quarter
commencing on that day at All cents
for the month Of April, and 1913 cents
after May /. In commenting on the
reason for this action, Assistant Sec.
rotary Keep said:
i "The change in value on May IL
due to the fact that Mexico adopts the
gold standard on that date and the
value Of the Msxico dollar passes
from a bullion basis, which fluctuates
with the price of silver to a fixed
value based on the agreement OF the
Mexican Government to redeem IN
gold. This redemption in gold by the
Mexican Government is, however, con.
fined to Mexican dollars circulating
in Mexico. Such dollars circulate in
other countries, particularly in China
The Department has decided that fol
customs purposes where invoices are
expressed in Mexican dollars the value
of such dollars after May shall be
computed as follows:
son goods imported from Mexico
1913 cents, the Mexican gold standard
basis, on goods imported from coun.
tries other than Mexico AT cents, the
silver bullion basis.o

of Tuskegee, Ala, called at the White House
this afternoon to invite the President to attend
a. directors meeting of coored school at
Manassas Va which is to be held at Wash

good, both In the encoura cement given to the stu
dents themselves and in the favorable impress
sion made upon the country at large
In his speech at Tuskegee said Mr.. Wash
ington, ''the President expressed the wish that
some one would go forth among the graduates
have followed, for the purpose of learning just
what percentage improve their opportunities and
what percentage do not We have man en-
ployed who follows the careers of the students
in just this way, or, at any rate, as near this
way as one man who remains in single
place. His records show that about 80 per cent
of the graduates of TuSkegee do well. Ten per
cent disgrace themselves and their school. Con-
sdering everything, however, l think the per-
centage of successes is very large and proves
the worth of the institute

to encounter than the opposition of the abor
unions he might well be thankful
