Plan to RECON- Their Money.

Brigadier General Edwards, chief Of
the bureau of insular affairs, has pre-
sented to Secretary of War Taft a
plan for the recoinage of the Philip
pine silver money. The plan will not
be made public until it has been
adopted by the Philippine commission
and approved by the president.
The recoinage is to reduce the per-
centage Of silver to an amount less
than its bullion value, in order to
put an end to its being melted. The
bureau OF insular affairs considered
the advisability of reducing the weight
of coin without decreasing the per
centage of silver and it is believed that
this IS the plan that will be recon
mended.

In the Occur d,Alenes.

George A. Ross has been awarded a
contract for a 500 foot crosscut tunnel
on the property of the Laclede Mining
company.
Galena is making its appearance in
the face of the tunnel on the Pocahon-
tas, though, according to surveys, the
ore shoot is still 80 feet ahead. The
property lies about half way between
Murray and Burke.
The Silver Star Mining company,
which owns property near Mullan, has
let a contract for 100 foot continual
ton of its 900 foot tunnel to Jesse
Shanklin OF Wallace. Buildings are
now being erected on the property for
the housing of a large force of men.
A crosscut has been started from the
bottom of the 100 foot shaft on the
property of the Nine Mile Mining
company, which lies just west of the
Success mine. 1t is thought that the
crosscut will not have far to go for
the ledge dips strongly toward the
shaft
Work has been resumed with three
shifts on the driving of the $500 foo
tunnel on the Hercules mine. The
tunnel is now in 1900 feet, and has
1000 feet more to go. 1t is being
driven from the level of the new con
centrator, and will cut the great ledge
700 feet lower than the present tunnel

taken.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 26.-Bowing
to the will of the church, but refusing
to make a "cowardly retraction" Of
the belief which induced the church to
terminate his ministry, the Rev. AL
gernon S. Crapsey, rector of st. An

Sunday renowned his ministry in the
Protestant Episcopal church, in let
ter to Bishop William David Walker,
of the western diocese of New York.
In this letter, the Rev. Mr.. Crapsey
reaffirmed his belief that the "rotion
that the origin of Jesus, the son of
man, was born without human
father" is without foundation in his
tory. He also asserted that when
say of Jesus that he assembled into
heaven, l do not mean and can not
mean that with his physical body OF
flesh blood and bone, he foated into
space and has for 1000 years been
existing somewhere in the sky, in
that very physical body Of flesh, blood
and bone. Such an existence would
seem to me not glorious, but horrible y

the case to the free intelligence and
enlightened conscience of the world

ships Launch Many Boats.

Toulon, France, Nov. 26.-The tor
pedo ship Algeciras, stationed in this
harbor, was totally destroyed by fire
at a late hour this evening. There
were 500 men on board when the fire
broke out, but it is believed that most
of them were saved.
The Algeciras was ship of the
line and for a number of years past
she had been doing duty as harbor
vessel and employed as torpedo
training ship. She was of 5047 tons
displacement and was built in 1855.
Great Alarm in the City.
The burning of the school ship ere
ated the greatest alarm throughout
the city. News of the fire was first
conveyed at about IL O'Clock by the
firing of cannon in the harbor. The
people hurriedly left the cafes and the
aters and rushed to the docks, whence
they could see the Algeciras, a mass of
flame in the harbor. The burning YES
sci stood out brillianIy in the en-
circling darkness and the glare of the
flames lighted up the other shipping
and the coast and wharves.
There was terrible anxiety concern
ing the fate of the 500 men on board
everybody had been taken off in boats
and saved, with the exception of three.
Those men did not answer the roll call
and it is presumed they were burned
to death.
Assistance in Plenty.
The entire garrison here was called
out to render assistance and the crews
of the warships of this division hur-
riedly launched their boats to go to
the rescue of their comrades. who were
on board the Algeciras for purposes Of
instruction. Tugboats and fireboats, as
we'll as several steamers lying in port.
slipped their anchors and likewise
went out to help.
AS soon as the men had been taken
off the flaming vessel the efforts Of
the authorities were directed to safe
guarding the other ships anchored in
the vicinity of the Algeciras, includ-
ing the new battleship Patrie and the
torpedo gunboat La Hore. These two
warships were towed to places of
safety.
The authorities came rapidly to the
conclusion that the Algeciras was
doomed, and she was left to burn her.
self out.
The discipline maintained on board
the Algeciras was excellent. A major
ity of the men were cool and collected.
The small boats of the Algeciras we're
, launched, filled with men and rowed
away, while those who could not leave
in this manner awaited the arrival of
their rescuers. A few of them, how
J ever were forced by the flames to

torpedOes on board the school ship ex-
ploded while the men were leaving
the vessel.
5 There was much fear during the
