of Church & Snow, a firm of collection
lawyers, who, after failing to get the
money from Hoge, preferred charges
against him at the state department.
So many complaints have already been
received concerning Hoge’s loose busi
ness methods that Secretary Gresham
concluded he would have a thorough in
vestigation before allowing the consul to
go to his post, and he therefore ordered
him to Washington.
Washington, Nov. 9.—The adminis
tration, it is believed, has decided upon
a financial policy, which will lead event
ually to the retirement of the treasury
coin notes issued under the Sherman
law, and the substitution therefor of sil
ver certificates redeemable only in silver.
This was practically indicated in the an
nouncement of Secretary Carlisle’s inten
tion to coin the silver bullion in tbo
treasury and to issue silver certificates
on the seignorage gained through the
coinage. It has been said that this plan
for the coinage of silver bullion was
made known for political effect in Vir
ginia and other states where the Popu
lists threaten Democratic success. While
it may havo this effect incidentally tho
policy has a far wider scope, aud it will
have a most important bearing on tho
government finances.
The plan will not be put into j>ractical
operation until tho mints are ready to
resume the coining of standard silver
dollars, and Bureau of Engraving and
Printing has turned out a sufficient num-
Ijer of silver certificates for the treasury'
to proceed with tho redemption of coin
notes without contracting the currency.
It is known that the" bureau is now
printing these certificates, bnt«khe secre
tary probably will not make known the
details of his plan for several days.
So long as the Sherman law* was in op
eration the secretary was powerless to
redeem the treasury notes in tlio manner
now proposed. Under the terms of that
act they had to be reissued. Although
$52,000,000 and upwards oi these notes—
more than one-third of the entire issue—
were redeemed in gold tho secretary was
forced to expose the reserve to another
assahlt by reissuing them. Now the sit
uation is changed. The secretary will
redeem treasury notes in gold if de
manded, but once in the treasury they
will be redeemed in silver and silver cer
tificates reissued. If the secretary had
possessed the authority when the $52,-
000,000 were redeemed in gold to reissue
silver certificates the coin not» out
standing would now aggregate less than
$100,(KK),000. Silver certificates are only
redeemable in silver, and gold cannot Ijo
demanded for them on presentation.
Th6 new plan will be carried into effect
within a few weeks.
It is not feared that this policy will
lead to any great demand for gold on
tho coin treasury notes, as, according to
the treasury figures, there is now more
gold in circulation than at any time pre
vious to the war. For six weeks the
treasury has been settling balances in
New York in gold. There is no danger
now of a farther raid on the reserve, afad
as the coin notes will be absorbed grad
ually it is not expected that the new pol
icy will have any untoward effect.
The policy of the administration will
have one great beneficial effect. It will
prevent the contraction of the small
notes in circulation. The treasury notes
were issned for the greater pan in small
denominations, and when they were
withdrawn for demands of- gold there
followed a scarcity, which was felt all
through the country last summer. Sil
ver certificates and silver dollars will bo
kept continually in evidence. At the
same time the gold reserve will be pit)
tected, and it is chiefly in the interest of
preserving it intact as far as possible
that the new policy will be inaugurated.
The coinage of the silver bullion under
this new policy will not begin probably
for two weeks. Of the total amonnt of
bullion now held—140,000,000 ounces—
119,000,000 are now stored in the Phila
delphia mint. Much of this will have
to be shipped to New Orleans for coin
age. The Philadelphia mint made the
greatest record in its history last month.
No less than $7,500,000 in eagles and
half eagles were turned ont.
Yoorhees May Have a Bill.
Washington, Nov. 9.—Senator Harris
•ays of a current rumpr that Mr. Voor-
hees intends to introduce a free <linage
trill early next session:
“I am sure I cannot say what Mr.
Voorheee will do, but I should not be
surprised at all if he should introduce a
free coinage bill, as is reported. Sadi
an act would not be inconsistent. 1
have said on the floor of the senate that
Mr. Voorheee is as strong a believer in
silver as 1 am, and In making tuat state
ment I put on record my honest convic
tions.*' v
Mr. Harris thinks the silver men will
be disposed to allow the silver question
to rest for awhile, though bills will be
introduced and may be discussed. He
thinks-there is a fair chance to repeal
the state bank tax; also that the secre
tary of the treasury has the power and
ought to coin the diver bullion in the
treasury. On the subject of a bond issna
Mr. Harris said:
v “I prefer to^ wait and see what the
' wishep of the secretary of -the treasury
may be.”

LaGrlppe in Alaska,
Washington, Nov. 1.—Under date of
Unalaska, Alaska, Oct. 7, Captain Hea-
ly, of the revenue cutter Bear, reports
that an epidemic of lagrippe and pneu
monia has broken out at that place
among the people of the village and on
the vessels in tho harbor.
Mexico Advances Duties.
Washington,.Nov. 9.—The secretary
of state has received the translation of a
decree of Oct. 20, 1893, making import
ers liable at Mexican ports from and
after Jan. 1, 1894, to an additional tax
on imports of 1 and 1-4 of 1 per cent.
A GREAT SCANDAL.
An Oklahoma Grand .Jury Makes Whole
sale Charges Against Officials.
North Enid, O. T., Nov. 9.—The
findings of the United States grand jury,
just reported, consist of tlireo closely
typewritten pages devote l to the conduct
of the land officers of this district.
Methods employed to fleece the settlers
who were in line immediately after the
opening are severely condemned.
The grand jury names Nat Campbell,
Lee Gray, William Fossett and James
Done, of Kingfisher, the last being a can
didate for the Kingfisher postoffico, as
subject to criminal prosecution. The
jury also says that the land office officials
at SouthEnid who were participants in the
scheme to fleece the settlers, were daily
cognizant of the frauds being perpetrated
and at no. time made the least effort to
prevent their accomplishment, but on
the contrary connived with the bribers,
and even went so far as to shield them
from exposure.
The report also accuses Recover Cald
well, of the Kingfisher land office, of ir
regularities.
A certified copy of the report of the
grand jury was ordered sent to Presi
dent Cleveland and the heads of depart
ments. The me nbera of the bar hero
say the facts disclosed by the findings
lay all the officers open to prosecution.
One of the leading land officers of South
Enid is now hastening to Washington in
the hope of preventing hasty action by
the president or the departments.
It is said the settlers will commence
proceedings to recover money paid the
officials in the form of bribes. The case
promises to be one of ,the greatest public
scandals of western official life.
