NO MORE SILVER DOLLARS.
Cannot Be Coined Without Congress
sional Action.

No more silver dollars are to be coined
iii this country unless Congress at some
time authorizes the resumption of COIN
age and the purchase of silver for that
purpose. The last of the silver bullion
purchased under the act of 1873, for the
resumption of silver coinage, has been
put into silver dollars. There is an ex-
ception of 100000 ounces that is being
kept for subsidiary coinage, and in a few
months this will be used up, and in the
future the treasury must buy silver bull
lion for subsidiary coinage purposes.
Under the Bland-Allison act says Geo.
f. Roberts. director of the mint. the total
coinage Of silver dollars has been $780,
.72.610. This includes about $4,000, 900 of
trade dollars that were recoined The
total coinage represents about the total
value of the bullion that was purchased.

SPORTS OF ALL SORTS
Bowling Congress to Be Best

LOCALS MEET TONIGHT

Everything points to the fact that the
coming tournament at Milwaukee will be
the greatest of it's kind both as to the size
OF the prizes and as to the number OF
bowlers contesting. This time the pin
knights will gather from everywhere. Clubs
will be there from Frisco and other points
in the far west and the fasteners who
gave the tournament last year the go-by
will so in force.
This annual gathering of bowlers from
all points is a good thing for the game,
and 1t is particularly good thing that
Milwaukee secured the tournament. AT
Cleveland the social features were entirely
forgotten and no attempt was made to en-
tertain the visitors in any way, and it
would have taken just one more gathering
like that to break the thing up.
Milwaukee will give the bowIers a cor
dial greeting, and every effort will be made
to make it an occasion not to be forgotten
|. by any one who was fortunate enough to
attend.
There is just one little hitch in the whole
business, and that is the efforts of the COM
mittee of the American bowling congress
to harmonize the east and the west may
fall fiatt. The New Workers who seeded
after the Indianapolis meeting formed an
association of their own and have done
well. 1t must be said that bowling is now
ana always has been on a more solid foot
ing in the east than it has been anywhere
and that state of affairs covers many years.
1t might be well, therefore, to heed the
counsel of the wise men of the east, for
they certainly know how to keep the ball
a-rollng.
Secretary Langttry of the Milwaukee AS
ISOLATION, which has the tournament in
charge. has shown disposition to do a lit
tie monkeying with the rules and conSti-
tuition of the bowling congress. He wants
city associations wiped out. This looks like
step backward. If the American bowling
congress wants to be able to control the
game it must do it through minor organi-
cations.
The members of the Washington City AS
ISOLATION of Bowlers viii meet this evening
at the Palace alleys, and all the arrange
ments will be made for the coming con-
gress at Milwaukee. The financial commit
tees will report on the contributions re-
ceived, and it is more than likely that
enough money to pay the expenses of two
teams has been subscribed. The newspa-
pers of Washington have subscribed hand
somely, and many prominent business men
have come forward with goodly sums The
Bureau team will also go to the congress,
but members of the Bureau Athletic Club
will pay its expenses. The two teams pick
ed by the association and the Bureaus
comprise the best bowlers in the city, and
the continuation of the work done by each
Individual this season will assuredly make
them prominent at the big congress in the
west.
