ago. and no provision exists for recoining silver
dollars which by natural wear have become I'M

The number of silver dollars forced out Of cir
culation because Of their abraded and worn con-
dition has increased rather than diminished OF
late. and the stock of these uncurrent silver dol
lars, worth nothing so far as practical service is
concerned. is rapidly accommodating in the Treas

the famine in money Of small denominations, OF
which there is complaint and the situation may
become more serious when the crop moving sea-
son begins.
Secretary Shaw in his annual report strongly
urged legislation authorizing the recoining Of
uncurrent silver dollars into subsidiary coin
He said that in order to meet the demand for
more small coins IL would be necessary to buy
more silver recoin some that the Treasury

the ministry.
A considerable faction of the Centrists, par
ticularly the industrial and commercial repre-
sentatives. desired for tactical reasons to fol-
low the lead of the lower house and pass the
bill unchanged but the demand for the reten-
tion of the death penalty came with the great"
est insistence from the representatives OF the
border districts where the penalty is most IN
use-Poland, the Baltic provinces and the eau
casus-who feel themselves in the grip OF the
revoIutionists and terrorists, without the SUM
mary processes of martial law. II was pro-
nosed virtually to abolish the death penalty, ex-
