by no means reversed the policy Of
the government or turned away from

1t in set terms repealed the Bland Act
of 1873, and it put a limit of one year
upon the continued coinage Of the silver
bullion purchased by the Treasury; but
il did not discontinue the purchase Of
silver by the government 1t provided
that the Treasury should each month
purchase four and a half million ounces
Of silver at its market price; that the
BULLION thus bought should be paid for
IN Treasury notes Of the United States;
that after July !, 1891. the silver pur-
chased should no longer be coined. eE-
cept so far as might be necessary in

enough TO redeem its notes; that the
notes issued in payment for the bullion
should be legal tender in the satisfaC-
ton Of all debts: and that they should
be redeemable in either gold or silver
at the discretion of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
The Act declared IT to be the estab-
lished policy OF the United States to
maintain the two metals at a parity
with each other at a fixed ratio de-
termined by law. II was with a view to
maintaining their parity that the Sec

the one metal was not suffered wholly to
supplant the other, or that the one
should not be made more difficult TO
obtain than the other.
Mr.. John Sherman, the honored sena-
tor from Ohio, a man whom business
men the country over looked upon as a
careful student Of affairs. and par
ticularly Of public finance, had fathered
the measure. II was a significant politi-
cal sign of the times that he should

The ratio OF value between gold and
silver fixed by statute was not the ratio
The price of silver rose a little at first,
under the influence Of the Act, but It
could not be kept up. The law Of
supply and demand was not checked in
its operation. II governed the value Of
the metal as Of ali other things bought
and sold. The statutes OF no single gov
ernment could set the efficacy Of that
law aside.
The experience Of the one-time
monetary union OF the Latin countries Of
Europe seemed to make II Unlikely that
even international agreement in matters
Of coinage could keep the values Of the
two metals to a fixed and stable ratio.

bers Of the graduating class at the Naval
Academy will find their way into the
naval construction corps, as there are
fourteen vacancies in this department
and help is badly needed.
The navy constructors are up against
hard work for months TO come as Con-
sress has authorized enough work to
make heavy demands on the corps Of
constructors. 1t is desirable that the
number OF midshipmen who are available
for this course of work may be greatly
increased.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that Naval Constructor Spilmsn,
who was on duty at the New York yard
and who resigned. has reconsidered his
, resignation and will remain with the
service. At the time Constructor Spill
man rendered his resignation, it is said.
Secretary Daniels refused to accept II,
calling attention to the great need Of con-
structors. Secretary Daniels has depart
ed from this attitude only under great
pressure.
The soldiers Of the United States army
will continue to deposit their savings
with the army at the same old per cent
! interest that was in effect in years gone
by. The suggestion of Secretary Of War
Baker that the method of taking care OF
the enlisted mems savings be changed
has not been adopted. There was danger
that IT would change the rate Of inter-
est. 1t likewise contemplated the intro
duction of more complications into the
system in vogue.
Since the system of soldiers depositing
| their savings with the government at in
! terest was first inaugurated back in
1873, the men have deposited more than
S4S 100000, on which interest to the amount
of S2,600,000 has been paid. There is a
sum Of $2,3oo,OoO now held TO the credit
OF the soldiers.
Mr.. Bakers plan was to put the control
of these savings in a board composed
of the Secretary OF War, the Secretary
Of the Treasury and the Attorney Cen
eral, who would place the soldiers money
out at interest in various financial insti-
tutions and who would, from time to
| time, fix current interest rates for de-
posits There was fear, however, that
this system would reduce the interest
rate and discourage thrift among the
enlisted men.

TO be perfectly respectable is great handi-
cap nowadays, especially for woman if she

movement which is to result in the immediate
redemption Of her race" President Charles Alex

failed to see a red signal, owing TO a
fog. Traffic was blocked for more than
four hours.

ductor Of the stock train, was killed.
The missing man, supposed to have
been cremated when fire broke out in
the debris of seven cattle cars, was a
drover.
The express was composed Of steel
cars. and this was responsible for the
fact that there were no fatalities
among the passengers. The injured

ALL REMAINING MILITIA
ORDERED TO BORDER
About 10000 Men To Be Ex'
changed in Two Weeks.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Orders have
been sent to army department COM
manders to send all the militia units
now in state camps to the border as
soon as transportation can be ar
ranged, it was announced at the War
Department to-day. About 10000 men
are affected, mostly in Southern states.
At the same time General Funston
has been ordered to designate an equal
number of troops now on the border
for return home and muster out. While
the selection of these last units is left
to General Funston, it is understood
that where possible he will favor those
troops which have had the longest Fed
eral service.
When this new movement is COM
pleted, in about two weeks, it is ex-
pected, the reserves will have been eN-
hausted. Unless a new call TO the
colors is sounded those units that will
then be on the frontier will have to
serve without relief until the Admin
istration is ready to reduce the border
patrol.
