MUTINY OF FLEET.
Reports Of Critical Condition o.
Affairs In Portugal.

Paris.-Reports representing that
Portugal is on the eve of revolution
are received here with caution, as dis
patches coming directly from that
country have been censored and those
indirectly across the frontier are held
more or less under suspicion. Both
the reports OF the Punishment Of the
crown prince and the mutiny OF the
feet are denied at the embassy here;
nevertheless, the making Of arrests,
the suspension OF newspaper and
other repressive measures which have
been taken by what Premier Franco
terms an administrative dictatorship,
seem conclusive that matters In Por.
tugal have entered upon critical
phase.

COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
The Check Letter Test on United
States Currency

The Check Letter Test on United
States Currency.
The United States government prints
It's currency and numbers It's bills In
series of four. SO that every piece of
paper money turned out hears one of
the check letters a, Is, c, ID. One of
these letters is always found In two
places on United States bill. In the
upper left hand corner and in the low
er right hand corner. The placing of
the letter on the bill Is not determined
by the number of the bill. The rule Is
70 divide the last two figures on the
note by four. Should the remainder be
one. the check letter must be A; should
1t bc two, the cheek letter Is Il; three,
the check letter is c. and nothing, the
letter ID.
For example, have before me a
five dollar certificate. Its number Is
SllS9130. The terminal number is 30.
Divide by -four. The result Is seven
with two over. The check letter Is II.
Here Is yellow back gold certificate
with twenty three as Its terminal mum
her Divide this by four. and we have
five with three over. G is the check
letter.
Should this rule of four fall to work
ON any United States currency note
You may bet all you have that the
money Is bad Some counterfeited bills
are right to their check letters, but
great many are not so If the rule of
four works. The bill may be still bad.
but if it doesn't it is surely bad This
rule applies only to United States cur
rency and not TO national bank notes.

The Hongkong Post says: Judge
Whitley, head Of the United States
Court for China, has attained that
sweet and pleasant thing known as
Notoriety. Fame is a money order on
the future, but Notoriety is the bust
ness end of a fire hose; Fame may lin
ger through a generation or two, but
Notoriety is very like a Chinese crack
er,-much noise, a little smell and
then burnt paper. We make these dis
tinctions without any desire or inten-
ton to reflect upon the able lawyer
who has been exploding in all direc-
lions in United States jurisdiction, for
we confess to a secret delight in the
spectacle of a strong man.
Judge Wilheys enemies have paint
ed him in marvellous colors but all the
pitch has failed to hide the fact that
he has been driving ahead, pitilessly
but without fear. Notoriety was in
evitable, and to some men,-perhaps
to Judge Wilhey,-it is a bitter flagel-
lation. While we recognize that there
are very many things in American
Jurisprudence that are not dreamed OF
by our own legislators, and while we
are greatly puzzled by points in the
new regime Of the United States
Court, we cordially recognize That the

inside of things cannot be understood
from the outside.
We have followed, with the keenest
interest, such signs Of strength as
"Wilhey's Purge" and have somewhat
marvelled at such innovations as a
special Bar examination even for those
who have been called to the Bar OF the
Supreme Court at Washington, but We
have necessarily been on the outside
ring If correctly represented, we de-
precate the attitude of Judge Wiley
toward a particular religious denomin-
alton, as directly tending to stir up
sectarianism, and to shake faith in the
impartiality of Justice where decisions
must be given between religious
bodies.
Yet we are well aware that there is
a vindictive campaign in progress, and
any stick is good enough! On the face
of reports, Judge Whitley has accom-
plished a great amount OF good work,
and it is inevitable that a strong man
in the Far East should leave a trial
Of Notoriety, and stir up a host OF
critics. We do not propose to enrol
ourselves under the banners of friends
or enemies, and simply define our at
titude as that of a most interested on

NINE SUBMARINES.

decision will be made by Secretary
Metcalf in the matter of the awards Of
the contracts for supplying the navy
with as many submarine torpedo
boats as can be built for 100000, ap-

congress.
Mr. Metcalf today gave what was eX-
pected to be a final hearing to the va
rious firms interested in the matter
The estimate is made that the 49,
100000 available will provide for the
construction of about nine submarines
