Keen, a Washington tailor, but has never paid Treasury Coin Notes Are to Be | “U m _ twas p]aced inth6hand3 Eventually Retired. OEBTIFIOATES PAYABLE IN SILVER Stay Be Issued to Take Their Place in the Currency of the Country—The Bu reau b Now at Work Print ing These Certificate*. 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.” Cannot So* to Recover Their Offices. Washington, Nov. 9.—Chief Justice Fuller, of the supreme court,Ties hand ed down a decision denying the applica tion of ex-United States District Attor ney Parsons and ex-Marshal Niniger, of northern Alabfima for leave to file peti tions for orders directing their reinstate- ment in office.

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. QUICK PUNISHMENT. The Fate of a Fclnd Who Had Committed an Outrage. Gaffneys, S. C., Nov. 9.—Bob Ken nedy, a negro, was arrested here for an attempted assault upon a respectable white woman—Mrs. Huskey. His at tempt was ,not successful, as he was frightened by the woman’s screams and ran away. His identity was established beyond a donbt, and about midnight he was taken from the officers who had him in charge. A crowd of citizens’numbering 200 car ried him to a slaughter pen near the city and hanged him. There was no excitement or disorder. He confessed the crime. Two other ladies have been assaulted in the same manner within the past few days, and Kennedy is thought to have been the author of these attempted out raged also. Seven Students Indicted.
