the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel under the
North river, recently conducted a party

Ives, sir And the reporter waited,
pencil and yellow paper in hand.
What do you know about this acct

Nothing, except that 1t happened to the

COIN FOR FILIPINOS,
Plan Submitted for Secretary Taft's
Consideration,

Brig. Gen. Edwards, chief of the bureau
of insular affairs, and Charles A. Conant of
New York, who was a member Of the COM
mission which framed the Philippine cur
rency system, have presented to Secretary
Taft plan for the recoinage of the Phil
ippine silver money. That plan, however,
will not be made pubic until 1t has been
adopted by the Philippine commissioners
and approved by the President, as pro-
vided by the law authorizing the recoinage
The necessity for the recoinage was to
reduce the percentage of silver to an
amount less than It's bullion value in or
der to put an end to it's being melted The
law provided that the percentage of silver
should not be less than seven parts silver
to three parts alloy. 1t has been found
that If that amount of alloy is used 1t will
make a very hard coin and that 1t will not
stamp as easily as silver
Therefore. 1t is believed that 1t would be
much easier to counterfeit 1t than 1t would
to reproduce the present coin. The bureau
of insular affairs and their advisers con-
sidered the advisability of reducing the
weight of the coin without decreasing the
percentage of silver. and 1t Is believed that
is the plan that has been recommended
The plan will be cabled to the Philippine
commissioners at once.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 24.-The
announcement is made here this even
ing that next Tuesday morning there
will be started from Washington, d. c.. to
Atlanta, Ca, one of the most unusual con-
vict trains in the history of the world, in
that on it there will be all the government
prisoners from the penitentiaries in the
eastern states of the country The new
government prison at Atlanta has but
lately been thrown open to the government
convicts of the country, who are at pres
ent In the different state institutions at ex-
pense of the government. Orders were re-
ceived by United States Marshal Stone
here today to take the government pris-
oners at Riverside penitentiary to WASH

point, and with the fifteen government
convicts at Riverside, Deputy Marshal
Henry will leave there with four assistants

The United States authorities made prep
arations this evening for the journey by
purchasing coffee pot, tin plate, a tin
cup and spoon for each prisoner to use
out this afternoon by the application of a
convict named Miller for stay in the pro-
ceedings. Miller was cashier of a ma
tional bank at Claysville, Pa, and went
wrong. His sentence is about expired, and
he claims that he should not be forced to go

Startling Decline in the Exports Of
Tea

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PEKING, November 24.-The tea and silk
trades of China are in a bad way, and
there is no use on the part of the govern
ment to longer attempt to disguise this
fact. In 1904 the silks represented 50 per
cent of the exports of the empire. Now they
account for only As per cent The commits
sioner of customs at Canton is authority
for the statement that the tea industry
seems doomed.
The London customs In 1904 registered
6,OO0 chests of tea adulterated with fill
ings and sand. hence it may be inferred
that the tea consumers alone are not to
blame. This shifting of the tea trade can
best be shown by the fact that In 1904 the
United Kingdom consumed 16557,72O
pounds of China tea, as against 240 236 925
pounds from India and Ceylon. and in 1905
only 6.5O0. 600 pounds Other countries will
