TO reject all tenders or accent such

convenience II is understood that,
anticipating that its temperance a. a
purchaser might temporarily disturb
the market unduly, the treasury has
oo'aiLed control Of considerable

Inc average requirements OF the

It's demands will be uniform aid not
an element OF uncertainty.
In 1900 as this STOCK was running
low, authority a granted in the
monetary act Of March 18th to the
secretary OF the treasury TO divert Dul-
lion, purchased under the act Of July
Il, 1890, for the coinage Of silver dol
lars 10 the coinage of subsidiary pieces.
Onder this authority about SO, coo. 900
has been coined since 1900.
The stock Of bullion in the treasury
was exhausted more than a year ago.,
since then no bullion has been availa-
bic for the subsidiary use.
The stock in the treasury had be
come so low that it was apparent. &C
cOrding TO the department, that the
demands Of a constantly charging
trade could not be met without addi-
tional coinage. The secretary Of the
treasury was in doubt whether exist
ing statutes authorized him 10 buy
bullion for this purpose, and more
over, was of the opinion that il would
be a better policy to meet future de-
mands for subsidiary coin by the re-
coinage Of silver dollars in the treas
ury. and so recommended to congress.
Congress, however. having failed to
act upon his recommendation Secre-
tary Shaw requested an opinion from
the attorney general as to his aUthori-
ty to purchase bullion for this purpose
under existing law and received a ia
vOrable reply. based on section 3.526
of the revised statutes. The policy
now announced was accordingly de-
termined upon.

"aShinston, August Sin a STATE
ment issued today by the interstate
commerce Commission regarding the
conviction Of the Atchison, Topeka and
santa Re Railway Company for viz
!ating the law with respect to giving
o1 rebates, the commission saws:
Inc aVowed purpose Of the practice
tends 70 support the view" that there
vas no criminal intent On the part Of
raul Morton, formerly secretary Of
the navy, and former head of the traf-
nc department Of the Santa Fe and
other railroad officials involved. The
statement calls attention TO the fact

The attorney general in disagreeing

had been employed by the government
to make a preliminary investigation.
acted plainly with fOreknOwledge Of
the legal difficulties that attended every
step in the attempted prosecution Of
NJ. Morton and other officials in the
peculiar case, which really grew out
Ct a long standing practice which only
became cOnSpicuOusly unlawful after
the passage Of the Elkins law in 1903.
There was a technical violation of
the law involved in the transaction as
has always been plain, but that there
was criminal intent on the part Of
Morton and others involved has al
ways been denied; and the avOwed
purpose of the practice tends to sup
port that view. On the other hand it
is not difficult to prosecute the cor
poratiOns themselves, and upon an
agreed statement of facts presented TO
the court, the fines mentioned
wer imposed.
Thus apparently ends a famous
chapter in the history Of litigation I'M
der the interstate commerce laws.
PTimariarily the interstate commerce
commission deserves the credit of in
itial Investigation and public report,
but the great need of praise is due to
Attorney General Moody and, OF
course. President Roosevelt, in again
carrying out with success the de-
clared purpose Of the administration
to inforce this great statue in all

DANISH KING is DEAD
DEAN OF CROWNED HEADS OF
EUROPE PASSES AWAY.
Was Father of the Queen or England,
Empress Dowaeer of Russia and of
the King CT Greece-Prince Fred
erck Successor to the Throne.

Copenhagen, Denmark, jan 3d.
Christian TX, the aged king of Den
mark, dean OF the crowned heads OF
Europe, father of King George OF
Greece, of Queen Alexandra OF Great
Britain and Ireland, and of the dow
ager empress Maria Feodorovna OF
Russia, grandfather of King Haakon
VII OF Norway, and related by blood
or by marriage to most OF the Euro
pean rulers, died with startling sud-
denness in the Amalienborg palace.
The accession of his successor, Prince
Frederick, his eldest son, who will be
known as Frederick VIII, will lie pro-
claimed today.
The following official bulletin was
issued:
His majesty died at $3.50 p. m.
After his majesty had brought the
mornings audience to conclusion, he
appeared TO be quite we'll and pro-
ceeded to luncheon as usual. Toward
the end OF the meal he gave evidence
OF indisposition and was compelled to
retire to bed at q: 80 p. m. His maJes-
ty passed away peacefully, the symp-
toms indicating heart failure"
This bulletin tells concisely the
story of the scene, which found every
one, even those who realized the in
creasing feebleness of the king, un-
prepared for the sudden shock
The king passed away quietly, sur
rounded by the crown prince and the
crown princess and their children and
the dowager empress of Russia.
The death of King Christian has

plunged half the courts of europe in
to the deepest mourning and brought
sense of political loss, as well as
sincere grief, TO every one throughout
the kingdom of Denmark, reaching
even to the humblest cottage, evil
dences of which are shown every-
where. 1t has cast pail over the
palaces of the monarchs of Great Brit
ain, Russia, Norway and Greece.
The quick taking away of the dis
tlnct personality, who has for so long
been center of interest, not only in
his own country, but throughout the
civilized world. almost paralyzed the
community and unnerved the business
world OF Denmark. Even now men OF
affairs are only recovering from the
shock and beginning to prepare for
the changed conditions of affairs.
Every flag in the city is at half-mast;
every place of amusement is closed
and the people walk the streets as
though they were passing through the
chamber of death itself.
New King Is Popular.
The new king of Denmark, who will
ascend the throne in his sixty-second
:e.r. bears the weight of his years
tightly and is almost as popular with
the people of Denmark as was his
father. Little can be predicted as to
the new kings public policy, and
therefore it is not known whether or
not he will simply follow in the foot
steps of his father. The new queen,
Louisa, is reputed to be the tallest
and richest princess in Europe. She
is a handsome woman, of blonde type
and reflects the beauty of her famous
grandmother, Desiree Clary, the
1radesman's daughter who captivated
Bonaparte and married Marshal Ber-
nadotte, who subsequently became
king OF Sweden and Norway.
Frederick is credited with having a
less determined character than his
father, while it is whispered that the
new queen possesses the stronger
character of the two, and possibly
this latter fact will have considerable
influence on the new king.
