Washington, Dec. 18.-Congressman
Peters of Massachusetts introduced a
bill establishing the $40 gold piece
as the standard gold coin of the
United States and providing that it
shall consist of 16 95-1OO grains of
standard gold. The bill directs that the
several gold coins authorized by ex-
listing law shall no longer be issued
from any mint of the United States,
but that those in existence shall con-
tnue current at the reduced rate of
1886 for every $40. The gold dollar of
One-tenth the value of the $40 piece is
made the standard unit of value and
in exchange with Great Britain it is
given & value of so pence sterling,
for the same purpose the value of the
pound sterling is fixed at $3.50. The
Dill also provides for a postal ex
change under which American stamps
may be used in England on mail for
the United States and English stamps
in this country on mail intended for
England, at the rate of cents Amer
can money for one English penny.
The purpose of the bill is to facilitate

A request for an urgent deficiency
appropriation of $5,458,0OO to carry on
the work of the Isthmian canal at
the present rate during the balance of
the fiscal year and for new projects,
was received by the house from the
secretary of war. Last year a def
cheney appropriation of $780, 900
was made. The principal share of
the desired appropriation is for the
Atlantic division, where are located
the Gatum locks and dam. For this
division an appropriation of $3,451,-
600 is requested. Chairman GoethalsI
OF the commission explained that the
current appropriation was based on al
mistaken idea that congress had ap-I
propriated for a rock crushing plant

1t has been found, Chairman Goeth- |
ais reports, that there is not sufficient
data on the hydraulics of Gatum lake |
and its tributaries to determine |
whether there are any low saddles |
that would affect the seepage of the
lake. To make an additional survey
$550,000 is asked. In the central divi- |
sion, including Culebra out, it is said |
the excavation has been so per cent
greater than was estimated and for |
this purpose a deficiency appropria-I
ton of S1,150,000 is requested. An
