WASHINGTON , Oct. 10. The members of
the monetary commission will con vena again
Momla > morning and begin their real work
of Investigating the currency problem. It Is
not llkelv that the commission will take an
other adjournment for 33 long a time until
It finishes Its labors , though It Is p obablc
that It will freiucntly adjourn over Sunday.
During Its brief session In October Its time
WES devoted to a discussion ot the uatuio
nd scope of UB work nnd to properly or
ganizing so as to carry out Its work In n
sjetcmatlc fashlcn The work was divided
under three general heads , metallic cur
rency , demand obligations of the govern
ment , and the 'banking system. The com
mission divided Itself up to handle theb-e
three subjects with the following commit
tees :
On Metallic Currency C. Stunrt Patter
son of I'ennM } IvanUi , Louis A. Garnett of
California , J. Luirence Luughlin ot Il
linois
On Demand Ohllfratlons of the Govern
ment Ilobert S. lay lor of Indiana , Stuv-
ve aiit Plslv of New York , J. W I rle-s of

Vei mont.
On the Hanking System Clmrlei S Falr-
rhlld of New lork , T Cl. Hush of Ala-
buna , W H Dean of MlnneMpalls , George
U. Lulghton of Missouri.
In the meantime the secretaries have been
busy cla&slfying and picparlng In convenient
shape the great mass of dafal and suggestions
that have already reached the commission.
Much of It had accumulated in the haLils
of the executive committee before the com
mission was appointed , and a great deal had
been received slnco that time. Chairman
Ilanna of the executive committee arranged
a very slmplo scheme for the preparation ot
this data As It eomcs before the commis
sion II Is all upon paper ot the- same size ,
perforated ler filing In convenient shape.
That pertaining to metallic cuirercy Is UIKHI
paper tinged with buff The paper upon
which the data , concerning government de
mand obligations Is presented has a green
ish cast , and matter concerning the banking
system la upon. rol tlm'cd paper. All the
data Is prepired In duplicate , one copy for
each member of the commission , and a mem
ber can tell at a glEiiee by the tint of the
paper whether It Is matter pertaining to his
own committee or one ot the others Ihus
while each man gives special attention to the
n-atter with which his own committee Is oc
cupied , ho Is keeping In touch with all that
comes before the other committees , and there
are , of couiso , frequent consultations of the
whole commission.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CONTINUES
The executive committee did not cease
opeiatlons when the commission was ap
pointed and organised. In fact. Chairman
Ilanna regards Its work as only begun. He
regards the commission as a quasi-Judicial
body to pass judgment and make a report
upon the matter presented to It , and will
f > ce thai expel ta upon finance and banking
are brought before commission to give
their vlev.s and that all data obtainable from
all parts of the world Is properly presented.
The work of the committee upon metallic
currency will bo the simplest of the lot.
The monetary convention declared fora gold
standard and this committee will probably
report the same way , though It will make an
Investigation of the operations of the single
gold standard and the single silver stand
ard in various countries , as well as the ef
forts to maintain a bimetallic standard , and
will report upon the result of their investiga
tions.
The committee on demand obligations of
the government has a much more dllllcult
task. It will report upon the history of the
various paper currency systems the world
has known and give Its estimate upon the
\aluo and the effect of the various syotcms
of paper currency.
The committee on banking will not only
Investigate and report upon the various
systems of banking that the world lias
known , but will endeavor to make such
recommendations as will in Its judgment
hi ing about a better system of banking in
the United States. The commission is Im
pressed with the Idea that American methods
of bulking do not affoid the facilities they
should for the small farmers and men of
very moderate resources.
BAD FEATURES OP B\NKING.
"There are two or three difficulties , " said
oao of the members of th commission a
few days ago , "that I think can possibly bo
obviated In the first place our banking fa
cilities and banking capital might , to advan
tage , be somewhat more evenly distributed
throughout the countiy. The-o Is surely
some method of doing away with this thing
of having money command 9 and 10 per
cent Interest In the touthcin and western
agricultural communities upon piper that Is
perfectly sound , when It will only command
4'Xi and 5 per cent upon paper of equal
s-jtmJneso In the northern seaboard states
Then we should find a way to encourage
the making of small loans. I am convinced
that half the discontent that finds expres
sion In the periodical demands for currency
InfUtlon arises from the fact that the man
of small resouices finds It dlfllcult , If not
Impossible , to obtain a loan at a icasonablc
rate of Interest. Under cur system the banks
do not care to bother with loans of less
than $1,000 , and I have never heard of them
making one for lets than $100 Yet n man
who has a single bale of eotton , JOO bushels
of wheat 200 or 300 bushels of corn , era
a like small amount of product , ought to be
able to obtain a loan that will enable him
to carry that cammed.ty until In his Judg
ment the market price for It Is right. It
Is seldom that wheat commands the highest
prices just at thrashing time or that cotton
can be cold to best advai age right after
the picking1 , or that corn can best bo sold In
husking time. Yet the man who has not
enough to fill a largo npirtmcnt In the ware
house and take out warehouse receipts has
nothing upon which ho can borrow money as
collateral If hi- did hold a warehouse re
ceipt for a single bale of cotton or 100
bushels of wheat he would ( In 1 It Impossible
to go to a ban < and get a loan upon It The
bank w 111 not do so because the care of such
loans , the salaries of clerical help necessary
to co It , the cost of exchange and that crt
of thing , would eat up the profits of the
loans The borrower Is therefore compelled ,
If ho cannot borrow from a personal friend ,
to go on 'having thingx elurged to him at
the store , at the highest prices , or to hypo
thecate his products , or pay chattel mortgage
rates of Interest for a loan. 'They do these
things belter 'In rranco. ' With their pro
verbial thrift nr.l care for the Interests of
the email proprietors the Trench people have
u banking gyrtrm that enables them to get
leans fro-n the barks as tnvall as 100 fraiRB ,
and through the ilJank of Ftunre these loans
are- carried at a very small profit. I be
lieve it Is possible ) for us to sbaw the way In
this matter and to educate our banl.a and our
people up to a tjstem that will give a much
wider distribution of Kink ng capital arj
will afford the pcorjnau banking facilities as
coin en lent ns those enjoy oi by his wealthier
nclghboc. "

WASHINGTON , Oct. 10 The secretary of
agriculture has received through the Depart
ment of State two gratifying communica
tions of special Interest to American meat
producers. Ono of thcso comes from United
States Minister Lclshman , our representa
tive at Berne , Switzerland , and.conveys the
gratifying Intelligence that the * Swlfcg fed
eral council , on request ot the United States
government , has procuredthe wlthJfaVal of
certain charges calculated to prejudice con
sumers against American meats , which were
published last May by the Schwelzorlsche-
Spczorel Handels and Geschautz Zeltung. Al
though this Is an unofficial journal for whose
utterances the Swiss federal council repudi
ates all responsibility , tbo council , neverthe
less , communicated to the editors of that
Journal the protest made by the United
States minister and' transmitted to It the
effectual reply to their charges prepared in
the Department of Agriculture by Dr. Sal
mon , chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try. Upon these representations the news
paper In question , with commendable prompt
ness , has acknowledged the- receipt of the
department's communication , which It pub
lishes In full , adding a request that all Swis3
papers that have discussed the subject will
do likewise. The Department of Agriculture
thus promptly and effectually vindicated
American meat producers from baseless and
Injurious charges by means of the hearty
co-operation of the Department of State and
our representative at Berne , and the cour
tesy of the Swiss government and the fair
ness of the Swiss Journal referred to.
The second communication Is from Gen
eral Draper , United States-minister at Home ,
? nd conveys the Information that the dis
criminating exaction Imposed on meats com
ing from the United States , by which all
certificates of Inspection" required the vise
of Italian consuls In this country , will very
shortly bo removed. It seemed at first that
the Italian government proposed to make
use of any concession In this matter on
its part as a lever to secure modifications In
our tariff as a fleet Ing Italian products. The
exaction of the vise In the case of Ameri
can moats was so clearly a discriminating
one , no surh requirement being exacted In
the case of meats Imported from other coun
tries than the United States , that the rep-

NEW YORK , Got 10. A large Croton
water main burst early this morning at the
corner of Madison avenue and Tort } -eighth
street , the heart of the fashionable district ,
and wrought great hn\oc with propcrtj ,
both near and remote. Tor blocks aroun.I
scarce ! } a building escaped Injury , by rea
son of the \olumcs of water that poured
Into the streets , cellars and basements. The
has will reach far Into the thousands.
The damage by water extends as far west
us Sixth avenue and as far east as First
avenue. The setters vvcfe choked by the
great rush of water and then the flood rose
In the streets. The bli ; water main was
probably cracked by a bhst which was fired
In a sewer excavation late Satuiday after
noon. Then In the night time , when the
strain on the plpo was greatest , It gave way
and the flood followed.
The breaking of the four-foot plpo was an
nounced by a rumbling nMsc whkh
awakened the people In the Immediate vlcln-
lt > . Looking out ot their wlndovs , they
sJiw a great geyser In the middle of the
avenue shooting a vast \olumc of water Into
th ? air , a column so high that It reached
almost to the top of the electric light pole
on the corner. Iho&a who had no view of
the fountain heard a minhty rush of v.atcr.
Tor five hours this column shot Into the
ah' before It was shut off at Its source , ancl >
In that time 10,000,000 gallons of vntcr had
tun down the a\enuc and side streets on
cither hand All the streets east of Madison
avenue slope gradually , and clown them the
watoi surged In a torrent , flooding the cel
lars and basements.
The most serious damage was done to the
building of the railroad branch cf the Young
Men's Christian asociatlon and to the
Knickerbocker Athletic club house. In the
basement of the latter place the dvnimos ,
machinery , bowling allejs , etc , and the big
s-vlmmlng tank have been greatly Injured
by the flood The loss Is placed at $15,000.
The club house will be closed until the dam
age has been repaired.
After five hours the flow was stopped. Al
most without exception the houses In the
vicinity of the break were so flooded that
they have been damaged from ? 300 to ? 2,000.
The residences of J. Hooker Hammersley ,
William Eusticc. J. Talbot and the club
house of the Delta Phi were among those
most damaged.

WHEELINO , W. Va. , Oct. 10 A land
swindle similar to that which 1ms been
worked In some western states Is being
operated by some parties outside of the
state. In Wcet Virginia there are enormous
tracts of undeveloped timber and coal lands
lying In the Interior , and this fact has caused
the swindlers to turn their attention to them
as an Inviting field In which to work their
Hellenic. A dispatch from McDowell county ,
lying In iho extreme southernmost portion of
the state , says that InMdo the last two
months deeds have been admitted to record
there purporting to convoy several thousand
acrct ; of valuable coal land for considera
tions aggregating several hundred thousand
dollars , which ar.o believed to bo purely
fraudulent. There are now over 2,000,003
acres on the Und books , while the county
only contains about 000,000 acres all told ,
The scheme of fraud Is simple enough , and
has been worked by the same parties for
some time. The swindlers prepare a deed
for a large tract of coal land In the county
and have It acknowledged before some flc-
tlUoufi notary public In a faraway elate.
They send It to McDowell county , the dis
patch bays , to bo recorded and have the
clerk of the county court forward them cer
tified copies of the deed from the record.
This places them In a pcsltlon to dispose of
the pretended titles for a good price to un-
suapectlng partlcu
It Is not unusual for a stranger to turn
up at Walch , which IH the county seat of
McDowell county , with a deed for several
thousand acres of land , which Is still straighten
on the record , but when ho comes to look for
the land ho cannot find It.
These frauds are not committed by per-
cons In this state to anybody's knowledge
but are by outside people. Efforts are being
made to ascertain their Identity.
