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.

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.

Curious Fact* About a Phenomenon Which Waa Visible Nowhere on Earth. From th? l/mdon Time*. Tha ordinary almanar gave for De cember U. a partial eclipae of the sun. Invisible at Greenwich. And In deed the expression as to Us invisibil ity might have been pot much strong er, for R was to be seen in no Inbsh- Ited region of the earth. An Aalartie expedition might possibly have sailed within Its sphere of Influence, but as iit was. It passed unwatchgd by human eyes. This being so, and the eclipse one lhat was necessarily wholly un seen, It would seem as If nothing more could be ssld about It. and as if it might be passed without comment. Bui. unseen as H was. tbe eclipse was by no means devoid of interest. First of »11. It offers us an example of what seems a paradox —an eclipse of the sun 1 taking place si local midnight. It I*. ' moreover, the first cf three eclipses 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. fir. Wilcox’* Condition.

"It Is believed by Admiral Dewey that he can reduce the crews by nearly - <>tH-half without destroying the elB- 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 wtil be severely taxed In sending these j men to the Pacific Just now on account , -if the statutory limitations of the num- ! her of men allowed In the service, 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 ment to retain for a term of i thrt# yearn ttll <jf thos«* who for the war and who deßlre to remain for the longer period. "Several thousand application# from these short time men have already been received at the navy department and confidence is expressed that no difficul ty will he encountered In securing 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 Said tomorrow with her 40*) men destined for Dewey's ships to take the places of those whose terms of enlist- ■ ment have long ugo expired and who ) are anxious to come home to re-enliet , on the Atlantic coast after a brief hol iday. -The Buffalo is to be coaled at Port , Said and will not stop again until she I reaches Hong Kong early next month. I '•R«port« received from Norfolk indl- | cate that the Yosemlte, which will Col- ; low the Buffalo with 400 sailors and 100 | marines, will get away within two , weeks.
