Tho First "Coin Sweater"

"Coin sweating" which so often fig
ures in the Old Bailey calendar, is a
very, very old crime. More than six
centuries before Christ there was a
coin sweater, one Alexander Of Byzan-
tium. He was chief officer Of the pub
lie treasury, and he amassed an i'm
mense and sudden fortune by clip
ping" the money in SO skillful man
ner that his frauds could only be dis
covered by weighing. The Byzantines
gave him the nickname of The File
from his making such dextrous use OF
that tool, whence proba bly, comes the
modern term of file applied &c
thieves, pickpockets and cunning hard
headed oundrels.-Pearson's Weekly.

Clothino In China,

In winter throughout the cold lati-
tudes of China the Chinese of all
classes wear fur, wool or hair lined
garments. Even the cody laborers
have their sheep or goat skins. and
people Of the middle aud official
classes have many sets of garments
lined with the richest furs. In China
houses are rarely heated to the winter
tempers lures of European or Ameri-
can interiors, and in consequence fur
lined clothes are worn indoors as well
as out.

FRANCE STILL FIRM.
Government Confident Germany Will
Meet Her Demands

Paris, Nov. 10.-No word has come
from Berlin with reference to the Ger
man governments attitude with refer
ence to the Casa Blanca affair and a
further delay is considered likely ow-
ing to some confusion which prevails
among the German officials and the ne
cessity of maneuvering before the
reichstag. But French opinion remains
serenely confident that Germany event
ually will yield upon the point upon
which France insists and express re-
gret for the incident
There is no trace of 'bluff" in the
French attitude and the spectacle pre-
sented by France last week must have
convinced Germany that in all her
dealings with the German government
since the catastrophe of 1870, France
never displayed such an exhibition of
national solidarity.
Moreover, Germany doubtless is
aware that Great Britain and Russia
have been consulted upon every step
France has taken and fully share this
government view, and in addition are
prepared to give material as we'll as
moral support to France.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
NEW WARRIORS DEFECTIVE.
Battleships North Dakota and Della
ware Have Weak Points,

Washington, Nov. 5.-In view of the
order of the secretary of the navy re-
voking the prohibition recently placed
against officers who attended the New
port conference from discussing its
action, an officer who was prominently
identified with the entire proceedings
today stated that it had substantiated,
with a few minor exceptions, the
charges of defects pointed out in Com
mander Keyes' letter on that subject.
This officer has been foremost in his
denunciaton Of naval defects.
The conference decided, he said,
that very few of these could be rene
died in the North Dakota and Della
ware, which are now 40 per cent COM
pleted, but suggested that, if practical
BILE, additional case armor of about 100
tons be placed around the smoke pipe
and up takes to protect them against
splnters. The additional armor would
increase the protection to eight inches.
They recommend that, if practicable,
an entire fire control mast be placed
forward of the smokestacks, for that
in case the vision from the rear mast
is obscured by smoke, a clear view
could be secured from the other posi-
tions.
The conference hesitated about max
ing extensive changes in the plans of
the Florida and Utah, as any alteration
that would involve a considerable
change of weights would require re-
of the plans.
On the important subject of what
ought to be the type of the next battle
ships to be designed, the kind of bat
terry they should carry, and their arm
or, the conference has not made deci-
sion

Clark MAY Succeed Williams.

Washington, Nov. 3.-When the sec
ond session of the Sixtieth congress
convenes in December, regardless of
whether the Republicans or the Demo-
Gratis have carried the house, there will
be at least one change of regime that
will be interesting and, perhaps, i'm
portant. John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, will no longer be the mi
nority leader. In his place, unless all
signs are misleading, will be Repre-
sentative Champ Clark, of Missouri.
Mr.. Williams, whom the people of
Mississippi have chosen to be senator,
announced some time ago that he had
concluded to give up the minority lead
ership, regardless of what might be the
result of the approaching election.

FREE OF CHOLERA.
Merchants Association of Manila Is
sues Statement.

Merchants Association OF Manila IS
sues Statement.
Manila, Nov. 1O.-The Merchants
association of this city has issued the
following statement:
manila is reported by the health
authorities to be practically free of
cholera. Since November / in a popu-
lation of nearly $50, 900, one case daily
has occurred. These cases were found
in outlying districts, unusually visited
by whites. The late visitation proved
to be of very light character since it's
beginning, and in the month of July
were only 22 cases among the white
population. OF these but 10 proved
fatal. There was not single case
among the IL, 600 city school children.
Since the American occupation in 1898
the number of whites in the islands at
tackled by cholera is PAT. Of these 120
cases were fatal. The majority of
deaths occurred in 1902, when there
were $4,000 troops in the islands and
no precautions existed for protection
against the epidemic.
Soldiers from Fort Mckinley and
sailors from the Asiatic squadron are
now entering the city freely and the
citizens are anxious that Rear Admiral
Sperry will permit them to carry out
the plans for the reception of the At
lantic battleship fleet.
If these plans are not carried out
it is feared that false and harmful
will be given to the world
of the sanitary condition of Manila,
which unquestionably is better than
that of any other city in the Orient and
probably unexcelled by any large city
of the world.
