George Harold Walker. a highly honored
citizen of Washington, died at $50 o'clock
this morning, following an attack of paraly-
sis. at his home 3410 Newark street, Cleve-
land Park. In his professional and official.
as well as in his Masonic career Mr..
Walker had won honorable distinction, and
his marked success in two different and
difficult Observation-Disclosures and the
law-had been for years source of gratifi-
cation to his wide circle of personal friends
and admirers who today deplore his death.
Mr.. Walker was born In Pontypool, Mon
mouthshire, England, November 81, 1851,
and came, with his parents, to America in
1857.
His early education was obtained In the
Milwaukee. Wis, public schools, and his
first business experience in printing and
newspaper offices In that city. In 1851 his
family removed to a farm in central Wis
consin. where he remained for four years,
and whence his father went to the front as
a Union soldier. At the close of the civil
war he removed with his parents to Cleve-
land. Ohio. and served for several years as

FRAUD ON THE CHINESE.
Shortweight Coins Forced Into Cirou.
lation by the Government.

A bad state of affairs has been disclosed
in China, according to q report of Vice
Consul Cloud, from HangShow. The man
darins there have been accommodating huge
fortunes by tho -minting of new copper
cash" and dumping them on the people.
The new coins are far below weight, and
they are intrinsically worth about 2k cash
to the old 10-cash piece, Yet there are two
mints IN Han gchow alone that turn out the
new coins, 10 and 20 cash pieces, at the
rate OF sixty to eighty-five minute to each
stamping machine. some of the machines
running twenty-four hours day. The total
output of the minis is about four and half
million coins every twenty-four hours, and
there is q difference of something like S12,-
100 between the actual and the face value
of the coins IN American currency, The
merchants have organized boycott against
the new money and the government is fore
ing it on the people, paying 1t for labor and
the products of the fields, but refusing to
receive II for taxes. The result Is that there
is endless quarreling, fighting, and even riot
ing, over private money transactions, and
the people have twice stormed the official
yamen to show their d1spleasure.
The minis have been temporarily shut
down and the boycott of the merchants
against the new money is fairly effective.

RUSSIAN POLITICS.
Lively Scrap in the Democratic Coun-

Lively Scrap In the Democratic Coun-
ell Over Control.
sT. PETERSBURG. May Sat today's
session Of the convention of the constitu-
tfonai democrats the radical wing protested
violently against the attempt Of the mod
crates. who control the central committee
OF the party, to secretly direct the tactics
to be followed In parliament. The members
from the Volga provinces and south Russia
made particularly inhammatory speeches,
insisting that the party should play with
hands above board and not adopt half way
measures.
Bodenye, a member from Yaroslav, de-
clared that pariiament's answer to the
speech from the throne must make 1t cleay
that the Russian people will be satisfied
with nothing less than a full, democratic
constitution. IF this is refused he said.
parliament will issue manifesto summon
ing the people to liberty or death. Parlia-
ment must legalize revolution
A member from Rybinsk was the next
speaker. He announced that he brought a
mandate from his province to support the
demands of parliament and a political
strike.
He was followed by member from Tau
ride province. who claimed it was the duty
of parliament to proclaim immediate am
nesty, the trial of the officials who had OPP
pressed the people. the abolition of all laws
promulgated since October 80, universal
stftuent assembly.
Every radical sentiment was applauded to
the echo.
Stchepkin of Odessa and Deroderti of
TVer defended the central committees
plans. insisting on the necessity for secrecy,
but pleading that this was only during the
present emergency. and assuring the men,
bers that they would be satisfied with the
results. and should be prepared, II called
upon. to become martyrs to the cause.
Derodert declared that the declaration of
rights. which must be wrung from the
crown. should be very different from that
of the eighteenth century. 1t must now in
clude the rights of labor.
Everything indicates that in the end the
moderates, who comprise practically all the
leaders. will gain a victory.

Report Not Discussed.
The report Of the superintendent was not
discussed by the board. the seriousness Of
the situation. they said, demanding careful
study. The testimony OF the teachers, a
statement from the director. Mr.. John
Chamberlain. and Mr.. Gardner's reply,
makes up volume OF more than $50 pages.
Considerable discussion as to the posi-
bility OF getting all the testimony read by
each member OF the board, before the regu-
lar meeting, Wednesday evening, ensued.
President Gordon was strongly opposed to
delay OF a week or ten days in backing up
the report. Mr.. Parker said the character
and reputation OF o man is such serious
matter that he thought delay would insure
complete consideration. DIR. Richard Kings
man Of the Industrial committee, however,
said not only the man, but the school must
be considered.
THE school," he said, '1s sufYering the
general conditions there are bad"
Mr.. Parker's motion for delay was lost,
and the board will meet Wednesday next
and probably also Saturday 80 complete
the investigation.
Mr.. Gordon said that every member of
the board ought to read all Of the testi-
mony and that though he had perfect conf
dence IN Mr.. Stuart and In his report he
felt the reading to be necessary. and it Is
possible to complete 1t by Wednesday.

therein outlined. Mr. Burton of Ohio de-
livered a scholarly address against the

the American nation could well afford to
serve notice upon the other nations that 1t
stood for international arbitration and the
peace of the world.
Mr. Butler of Pennsylvania and Mr.
Calder OF New York supported the bill,
both agreeing that the measure had less
to criticise In It than any bill reported from
the naval affairs committee of the House
in years.
Other speeches, covering a wide range OF
subjects, were made by Mr. Flood (Va.),
Mr. Clark (Fla) and Mr.. Shackleford (Mo.).

REGULATION OF PIPE LINES.
Senator Lodge Proposes to Regard
Them as Common Carriers.

1uSin as SOulluOu SdTIIeTs-
After The Stars report of the proceed
ings OF the Senate was closed yesterday
afternoon. the consideration of Mr.. Lodge s
amendment to the rate bill, making pipe
lines common carriers. was continued.
Mr.. Morgan proposed an amendment to
the Lodge amendment making 1t applicable
TO ANY place within the Jurisdiction or gov
ernmental authority Of the United States"
saying that his purpose was to include the
Union Company. which has secured char
ter for a line across the Isthmus of Pan
anna. In support of the proposition he said
that the Secretary of War had refused to
consider the line as a common carrier. Mr..
Morgan's amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Carter moved an amendment limiting
the operation of the provision to oil alone.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Carter S
amendment. which was lost, % to 50.
Mr.. Kittredge sought by an amendment
to have the owners Of private lines of all
kinds of cars included in the bill and made
liable under its provisions.
Before vote could be reached Mr.. Aldrich
interrupted the proceedings by moving that
when the Senate adjourn it be to meet on
Monday next, and after some discussion the
motion was carried.
Mr.. Bailey supported the proposition to
adjourn over. saying that more progress
would be made by giving the republicans
an opportunity for conference than by ne
fuslng that opportunity. He spoke of TIE
prospect Of an agreement on the republican
side, saying that radical as the differences
there appear, they are about to disappear"
This, he said. he regretted, because he had
hoped that in. the republican disagreement
the democrats would find an opportunity to
render the country service.
They being united" suggested Mr.. Gal
linger. and thus brought out burst of
laughter at the Texas senator's expense.
Without further action on the rate bill
the Senate at 4:20 pm. went into executive
session. At $40 the Senate adjourned until
Monday.
