Two provost guards who were on pa- j

church and presented arms as the |
body was placed in the hearse. The
action waT an involuntary one. the
guards did not know the dead man, but
the flag which draped the casket pro
claimed the fact that he was a fellow
sol ',er. The Incident was noticed by

I 'Whatever decision may be tea.-bed :
i with reference to the much disputed

I rttates legal tender note* shall continue«
i to hold their place n« part of the paper
currency of th* country, It I* certain j
that the rosintenonco of some system
of bank Issues wtlll lie indispensable.
This system, should, without doubt, be,
under federal control, and should take
such form n* to Insure much greater ,
elasticity than exist# In the present
system, provided always lhat the m- J
curity of th* issue shah be in no w!#a |
impaired.
“There Is • real need for Increased ■
banking and currencyyfacllltte* In the
newer and more backward parts of the
country, and legislation could do some-!
thing towards satisfying this need. Im
the judgment of your committee, the ;
most effective as well a* the defeat ex
pedient for accomplishing this object
is some system of branch banking sim
ilar to those in vogue in Canada, Scot
land and other countries. Under such a
system, banking facilities can be fur
nished to communities too small to sup
port even the smallest Independent
hank of issue; and capital can be most
cheaply and easily transferred from
districts over-supplied to those needing
it; while, at the tome lime, the dan
gers of fraud or mismanagement Inci
dent to all banking am far less serious
than under a system of small indepen
dent banks. There arc doubtless ob
jections to the plan; but the experi
ence of other countries has shown that
they are not of great moment.
■ What is most needed at this Junc
ture Is a disposition on the part of tho
friends of reform to sink Individual pre
ferences as to details, and to Insist that
congress shall enant such legislation as
it shall be possible to agree upon. Un
doubtedly. there is room in this matter
of currency reform for honest differen
ces of opinion, but such a degree of per
sistence in one’s opinion as makes a
working compromise Impossible hos no
Justification in monetary principles or
in the conditions prevailing ip. the Uni
ted States. It is safe to pay that, of
tho five or six currency bills that .du
ring the last twelve months, have been
in any serious sense befoep the country,
the passage of anyone would have re
sulted in great improvement and would
have measurably satisfied the demands
of reformers. "

DETAILS OP OCCUPATION
The Insurgents Are in Possession of
11010 Now.
Manila, Dec. 29. The details re
garding the occupation of Iloilo by tbe:
insurgents have Just been received,
here. The American expedition, j
commanded by Brigadier General Mil- j
ler, arrived, there yesterday, and found,
that the Spaniards evacuated the place
Saturday on board the steamer Churn-j
ca , and had been transferred to .tbe ‘
island of Mindanao, in accordance,
with the agreement arrived at with the
insurgents. The latter entered Iloilo
and occupied the trenches at noon on
Monday. They immediately established j
a municipal government and placed
guards over foreign property. The
insurgents are fairly quiet and orderly,
although there la-somu looting at night,
but the shooting or five natives had an
exemplary effect upon the rest aprv
them- '{

SIJN ECLIPSED AT MIDNIOHT.

iit was. It passed unwatchgd by human
eyes. This being so, and the eclipse

might be passed without comment. Bui.

falling within a period no longer than I
, a single calendar month. December 37
will bring a lota' eclipse of the mom
|at Greenwich: January 11. a partial
'eclipse of the suti. And the three are |
' very Intimately connected with each
other. Thu latter in nearly alt Its
characteristics stands In strong con-j
traat to the eclipse of December 13-—a
large partial eclipse which will be seen '■
just outside the borders of the arctic
regions, at their midday and in their
midwinter. Nor Is this sequence acci
dental. A similar triplet of eclipses—
the flrot partial of the sun nnd seen
near the south pole, the Aecond total
of the moon, tbe third partial of the
sun and visible near the north pole—
foccurred Just eighteen years ago. all
three eclipses falling in December, 1889.
I Going back yet another eighteen yea-s
: we find the same thing repeated some
len days earlier In the year, and so on
! right away backward till 1664. when,
while the southern eclipse was a large
partial one and fell nearly In the mid
winter of the southern hemisphere, the
northern was a mere graze taking place
at the midnight of the regi ns from
which It was visible. Looking for
ward we find In like manner that eight
een years hence another similar triplet
of eclipses will fall at the turn of the
year, and yet another eighteen years
luter still. This ends the series or
these midnight eclipses of the sun In
the south polar regions, for Jamiarv.
1958, will be marked only by a total
eclipse of the moon.

that he can reduce the crews by nearly

I clency of the vessel* for the purpose of .
; cruising and guard duty iu the Phil- -
Ippine group.
I "Tlic personnel resources of the nsvv

-if the statutory limitations of the num- !

i "The present peace establishment >
' provides only for 1i.T30 men, but In the ,
I war under special temporary authorl-
J ty, the total naval strength rose to
| nearly 22,000.
"This figure will be reduced Ihl-s
'week to 10,000. but below this It Is eon
; sldered unsafe to go. and an appeal
will be made to congress us soon as It
reassembles to authorize the <1- part- j

"Several thousand application# from
these short time men have already been
received at the navy department and
confidence is expressed that no difficul

enough good men for tbe vessels which
must necessarily be kept In commission
If congress will give the requisite mi- ,
thorlty.
••The naval authorities expect to hear
of the arrival of tho Buffalo at Port

are anxious to come home to re-enliet ,
