MAIL TO CARRY COIN.
Treasury Officials Recently Made
Discovery.

The Treasury officials have recently dis
covered a highly interesting fact in re-
gard 10 the appropriation for sundry civil
expenses Of the government, which es-
capped general attention at the time it
was enacted.
1t pertains 10 the shipment Of frac-
tional silver coin from the several sub
treasures Of the United States to banks
in various parts Of the country.
Il now appears that In the rush attend
ing the passage Of the sundry civil bill
John Wesley Gaines OF Tennessee. caused
10 be inserted in the measure a provision
that one-half OF the $4,000 appropriation
for the transportation OF coin shall be
expended for registered mail Hereto
fore shipments OF currency have Uniform
ly been made by express and the express
companies have been obliged 20 make
good any loss by theft or other accident
IN transportation.
The express companies are greatly con-
cerned over the new order OF things
especially as Mr.. Daskam. chief Of the
bureau Of public moneys IN the Treas
ury Department. has ruled that the law
means that $4,000 shoulc Hs expended by
registered mail before any part OF the
appropriation Is expended for express
charges. II is believed az the Treasury
Department that as the charge for reg
istering a package is only cents. $4,000
will be sufficient 70 pay the entire ap-
parent cost Of transporting coins under
this system for a year and the express
companies will therefore get none Of the
business

About Party's Opportunity.

Electing officers and singing the praises
Of the Democratic party were the fea-
lures Of the meeting of the regular Dem
ocratic central committee last night in
Eagles Hall,
Before the election of officers was taken
up. several of the members spoke on the
chances for victory for the Democrats in

history of the party did the opportunity
for the Democrats 10 win a national
election by working and standing for
the interests of the people present itself
as it does at the present time. He added
that the Republicans at Chicago had
failed to do anything for organized labor.
and that the platform adopted by them
was not for the benefit of the people.

chairman. Walter J. Costello; second vice
chairman, Thomas B. lie Cuyer: secre-
tary, William NICK. Clayton; treasurer,

consideration of plans for Independence
Day which will be given out later, the
meeting was thrown open 10 a discussion
of the question Of suitable and worthy
disposal Of the old sandstone columns OF
The east front OF the Treasury, which are
soon TO be replaced by new ones OF
granite.
II was unanimously agreed they would
make a most fitting ornament for the
streets or parks I'm the form Of one large
structure or distributed about singly
with a fresh coat Of paint and some
patriotic entablature crowning them.
Perhaps the plan received with the most
favor was the one providing FOR the huge
public pavilion
This suggestion is to have the columns
taken 10 some convenient and available
spot in Potomac Park, and used as bases
over which a great domed roof should
be constructed, providing place for pub
lie band concerts as well as a public
shelter in inclement weather
II Is said that those who have con-
