ranfllrms that the unit of value is tho
dollar, conalatlng of twenty-five and eight
tenths grains of gold, nine-tenths line, but
from that point It gorn on to make It tho
duty of tho secretary of the treasury to
maintain all forms of money Issued or
coined at a parity with thin standard.
"It puts Into the hands of the secretary
ample, power to do that. I'or that purpose
tho bill provides In the treasury bureaus of
l?uo and redemption, and transfers from
tho general fund of the treasury's cash
J160.000.000 In gold coin and bullion to the
redemption fund, that gold to be used for
tho redemption of fulled Xtntrs notes and
trrosiiry notes. That fund Is henceforth
nluolutcly cut out and separated from tho
caah balance In the treasury, and the avail-
hoio ensa uaian.'o win nerearicr nnow a
reduction of JtfiO.OOO.OflO from the llgures
that have heretofore prevallej. This $lf0
000.000 redemption fund Is fo be used for
no other purpose than the redemption of
the United Slates notm nnd treasury notes
und thofe notes ho redeemed may be es
changed for gold In tho general fund, or
with the public, so that the reserve fund
In kept full with gold to the $150,000,000
limit.
"Tho secretary Is given further power.
If redemptions go on ho that gold In this
fund Is roduccd below $inu,norj,000, and ho
Is unable to build It up to the $150,000,000
mark by exchange for gold In tho general
fund or otherwise, ho l given iiower to sell
bonds,- anil It Ih made his duty to replenish
tho gold to tho $150,000,000 by Mich means.
ImiIIcn Chain HroUen.
"The endlesH chain Is broken by a pro
ylslon which prohibits the line of notes ho
redeemed to meet deficiencies In the current
revenues. The act provides for the ultimate
retirement of nil the treasury notes Issued
In payment for silver bullion under tho
Sherman net. As fast as that bullion Is
coined Into silver dollars treasury notes aro
to bo retired and replaced with an equal
amount of silver certificates. The measure
authorizes the Issue of gold certificates In
exchange for deposits of gold coin, tho same
as at present., but suspends that authority
whenever nnd so long Is the gold (Hi the re
demption fund Is below $100,000,000 nnd
gives' to "the secretary the option to suspend
tho Issuo of such certificates whenever the
sjlver certificates and United StnteH notes,
In tho general fund of the 'treasury exceed
$60,000,000.
"The bill provldeH for n larger Issuo of
silver certificates by declaring that here
after silver certificates shall be Issued only
In denominations of $10 and under except na
to 10 per cent of the total volume, lioom
Is made for this larger use of silver cer
tificates In tho way of small bills by another
provision which makes It necessary n fast
as tho present silver certificates of high
denominations nro broken up Into small
bills to cancel a similar volume of United
States notes of smnll 'denominations and re
place? them with notes' of denominations of
$10 nnd upward. Further room Is made for
the circulation of small sliver certificates
by n clause which permits national banks to
have only one-third of their capital In do
tiomlnatlonR under $10.
Sulmldlnry Sliver Coin,
"Tho clauso of the bill which tho public
will gieatly npprocluto Is tho right that It
glvc to tho secretary to coin nny of tho
bullion Into subsidiary sliver coins up
to a limit of $100,000,000. Thero has for
yearB been a scarcity of subsidiary silver
during periods of actlvo retail trade, but
thin provision will give the treasury ample
opportunity to supply all tho subsidiary sil
ver needed- Another provision which the
public will greatly appreciate U tho author
ity given to tho secretory to recoln worn
and lincurrcnt subsidiary silver now In tho
treasury or hereafter received. Tho bill
makes u continuing appropriation for pay
ing the difference between tho fnco value
of such coin nnd tho amount tho same will
produco In tho now coin. A distinct feature
of tho bill Is tu referenco to refunding tho
8 per cent Spanish war loan, tho 2 per cent
bonds maturing In 1007, and the 5 per cent
bonds maturing In 1901. a total of $830,000,
000. Into new 2 per cent bonds. Theso now
2 per cent bonds will not bo offered for sale,
but will only lio Issued In exchange for an
equal amount, face vuluo. of old bonds. The
holders of old bonds will receive a premium
Jn cash to compensate them tu n measure
for tho sacrifice of Interest which they make,
t'liniiue In Ilii ii K I : ur Art,
"Thero nro some other changes In tho na
tional banking act. Tho law permits na
tional bnnks with $25,000 capital to bo or
ganized In places of 3,000 Inhabitants or
lesa, whereas hcretofoio tho minimum capi
tal his been $50,000.
"It also permits banks to Issuo circula
tion on all clauses of bonds deposited up to
tho par value of the bonds, Instead of 00
per, cent of their face, us heretofore. This
ought to innko an Immediate. Increase In na
tional bank circulation of something like
(21,000,000, as tho amount of bonds now de
posited to Becuro circulation Is about $242,
000.000. If tho price of tho new 2s Is not
forced so high In tho market that thero Is
no profit loft to national banks In taking
our circulation, wo may also look for a ma
terial Increase In national bunk circulation
based on additional deposits of bonds."

senators wero In caucus for two nnd one-half
houis on tho Porto Hlco bill this after
noon nnd at C o'clock adjourned until 2
o'clock tr morrow, when the discussion will
bo resumed. No vote, was taken upon nny
of the varloun propositions Inld before tho
meeting, but ns a result of the caucus, talk
developed oppcoltlon to the bill, which oppo
sltlon, If not placated, might endnnger Its
passage. It was also nppnn.nt thnt n num
ber of senators thought the legislation was
Ill-advised, but, while opposed to the bill,
novcrthclMti would vote for It as a party
measure.
Deep feeling wni displayed on the ques
tion by a number of senator and esucclnlly
by those of tho middle west, some of whom
did not hesitate to affirm that any attempt
to place n tariff upon the exchange of, bus
iness between the United States nnd Porto
Hlco probably would have nn injurious effect
upon tho republican patty In theii state.
There wer. some sharp passages-at-arms.
It was generally agreed, however, thnt from
a pnrty standpoint almost nny bill wns better
than nono and this feeling gave tho friends
of tho 'measure hopes, dcsplto the appar
ently unyleldlug attitude of the opposing fac
tion?. They are still holding to the bill ns
originally Introduced nnd e.xpreos the belief
that It will form tho basis of whatever set
tlement Is agreed upon. One Indication that
an agreement Is expected tomorrow is tho
continued determination of tho Cuban sub
committee to leavo here tomorrow night for
a tour of Cuba.
I'or ii (I ne-Way TnrllT.
Those, senators who favor tho proposition
for a tariff on Porto Hlco goods coming Into
this country and free trade for goods going
to Porto Hlco mid that this courso would
bo humane) In principle, since It would nfford
free entry of food and hupplieu needed by
tho Porto Hlcnns. while tho tariff on goods
coming into this country would supply
revenue for tho Islnnd and also retain the
prlnclplo of protection.
Several times during the debate the courso
of tho administration was mentioned, nnd
tho statement mado that tho country was
nrouscd becaueo It had seemed thnt con
gress was acting contrary to tho wishes of
tho president.
Several senators asserted that the nrcs-
Ident was now anxious for the proposed
inrin oi 16 per cent.
Senator Foraker talkod nt considerable
length nnd vigorously supported tho bill
nnd was expressly determined that the gov
ernmental features should not be abandoned
Ho also defended tho tariff provisions ns
being of ndvnntago instead of a hardship
upon the people of Porto Hlco. Ho de
clared that the bill as amendod by the com
mittee, levying a In per cent duty on nrod
nets both ways, was tho best measure thnt
could be passed, but said he was willing to
nccept tho compromise levying a duty only
on rorto mean products coming to this
country.
Hnniiii 'I'm I km fur the 'I'll r I IT.
s-enator Hnnnn mado a speech that was
listened to with great Interest. Ho fuvored
the house bill and ospeclnlly tho tariff pro
visions, lie said that from a party view
tho tariff ought to remain. This, wns a re
publican congress and thero should be re
publican legislation. If the bill was defeated
he asserted that It would hand tho legisla
tion over to the democrats.
Ho also spoko of tho effect a freo trado
measuro would have upon the wnrklngmen,
who feared tho effects If tho policy of freo
trndo with tho Philippine Islands be estab
lished by granting freo trade to Porto Hlco.
Ho urged tho republicans to stand firmly to
gether for the bill.
Senator Proctor of Vermont said he be
lieved In freo trado with Porto Hlco and
thought tho matter could bo adjusted by
leaving a military governor nnd not at
tempting either a civil government or tariff
legislation at tho present time. Senator
Fairbanks said thero was no question as to
the feeling of tho peoplo In his state, .who
wero for freo trado with Porto Hlco.
Senator Davis, who recently introduce 1
nn amendment extending thnt portion of
tho constitution relntlvo to taxation over
tho Island, mado qulto nn extended speech,
taking strong grounds In favor of freo trade
with Porto Hlco. Ho said thoro was no fear
of extending tho constitution aver Porto
Hlco that It would menu liko action when
legislation for tho Philippines was under
consideration. Hach Island nnd group should
bo nnd would bo dealt with separately and
Independently.
Senator Aldrlch did not tako any partic
ular side, but couiiHelcd action which would
unlto tho republican majority.
Senator Perkins, as well as other mem
bers cf tho Porto Hlco committee, wanted
tho bill agreed upon without compromise
or amendment. Quito n number of senators
In this connection exprceoed tho opinion that
a mnjerity would voto for the bill as reported
and took occasion to crltlclso tho unstable
policy which was being pursued, saying that
tho constant changing had done more to
shako tho faith of tho country than anything
else.
I'or unit AunliiNt the Hill.
Senator Simon of Oregon, whoso position
was not known, went further than any other
senator In declaring h'y unalterable posi
tion In favor of freo trade with Porto hlco.
Ho said that wo had no right to tax our
dependencies nnd that If wo did not Intend
to treat tho new ncqulsltlons ns we treated
other acquired territory we should not re
tain them.
Senator Spooner urged party harmony
nnd believed that the tenntors could find
sotno common ground upon which differences
could be adjusted. Ho was for the committee

CAPHTOWN, March 13. General French
has arrived at Illoemfonteln.
LONDON, March 14.-1:30 n. m. Nothlna
can be snld of the ndvanco on Illoemfonteln
beyond Lord Hoberts' own dispatches. Noth
ing moro has been permitted to come
through. DoubtlesB Lord Hoberts himself
Is fully occupied with mllltnry details. The
dispatch from Capetown snylng that "Gen
eral French hns arrived nt Illoemfonteln"
probably does not mean thnt he has entered
tho city.
Ixird Hobeits' messages may menn either
that tho Doers have cut the railway to the
north or thnt the Hrltlsh cavalry has done
so. If the former, then It may be nssumed
thnt no rolling stock hns been seized, but by
general assumption the latter Interpretation
Is regarded ns correct.
This would grcntly facilitate obtaining
supplies from Orange river, an Important
matter, ns Ixird Hoberts" line of communi
cation nt Modder bridge Is now 110 miles
long.
The Hoers may make nnolher fight, but
there Is little doubt that Lord Hoberts will
occupy nioemfnnteln today (Wednesday).
Hni-rM Ilettteen Tvto llrllUh Armlet.
The Hoers retiring from Orange river will
find themselves between two llrltlsh armies
and their guns aro nlmost bound to fall into
tho hnnds of the llrltlsh. whllo tho occupa
tion of the capital of tho Freo Stuto will
strain the nlllnnce of the two republics to
thn utmost.
The government will not allow the
Krugcr-Steyn petition to lnlluenco It In any
way. Thero will bo no diminution of meas
ures calculated to maintain the .full clll-
clcncy of tho field force and whatever rein
forcements wero previously considered ad
visable will still be sent out.

LONDON, March 13. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegrnm.) Tho Post
oxpert says:
"Hoberts has ordered French to seize the
railway station nt Illoemfonteln In order to
socuro If possible tho locomotives and rail
way carriages. French had a serious fight
and In tho end was nblo to tako nnd hold
two hills near the station commanding tho
town. It looks us though no rolling stock
had been taken, for the telegrnph line
toward the north havo been cut nnd tho
railway broken up. From Lndysmlth It I
reported the main body or tho Boer army
Is holding Blggarsbcrg. Tho Inferenco Is
thnt thero can bo no very determined con
centrntlon In tho Free Stnto to resist
Roberts."
LONDON, March 13. 10 a. m. Tho Wnr
olilco has received a dispatch from Lord
Hoberts announcing that nfter n fight with
tho Bocrn General French occupied two
hills close to thu glutton, commanding
Illoemfonteln.
Lord Roberts' dispatch from Venter's Vie!
at 5:20 o'clock this morning follows: "I
directed General French, If thero was time
beforo dark, to selzo the railway station nt
Illoemfonteln and thus secure the rolling
stock. At midnight I received n report from
him that nfter considerable opposition he
bad boen able to occupy two hills close to
tho railway station, which commanded
Bloemfontein.
"A brother of President Stcyn has been
mndo a prisoner.
"The telegrnph lino leading northward has
been cut and tho railway broken up.
"I am now starting with tho Third cnvalry
brigade, which I called up from the Seventh
division, nenr Petrusburg yesterday, and
tho mounted Infantry to reinforce the cavalry
division. The rest of tho forco will follow
an quickly as possible."
Tho War olilco has received the following
additional dispatch from Lord Roberts:
"VENTER'S VLEI, Murch 12.-9:30 p. m.-
Our march wan again unopposed. We are
now about eighteen miles .from Bloem
fontcln. Tho cnvolry division Is astride the
railway ulx miles south of Bloomfonteln.
Thero nro 321 men wounded and about sixty
or seventy wero killed or aro mlnslng.
"Colonel Umpholey has died of hlq wounds.
Lieutenant Pratt of the Essex regiment wns
wounded sovorcly. Tho wounds nro as a
rulo moro serious than usual, owing to the
expanding bullets which aro freely used by
tho Boers.
Dclny Whm Kxiiccteil.
2:17 p. m. Lord noberts' actual entry Into
tho Orango Free State capital seems likely
to bo deluyed until tomorrow or luto today,
ne hla statement that ho is going to reinforce
Genornl French Implies thnt opposition Is
being encountered on tho outskirts of tho
town, though tho definite sUtement that thu
British cavalry leader has positions which
command tho situation leaves no doubt that
tho occupation will speedily bo effected and
with it, so tho London critics think, will uc-
cruo to tho British importnnt cnpturcB of
supplies, if not of prisoners. However, it
may bo that tho Boers may make a strenu
ous resistance, which will not be overcome
until Lord Roberts' main army catches up
with tho cavalry.
Tho strategic Importance of what Is taken
to bo tho practical capture of ono of tho
enemy's scats of government han created lit
tle enthusiasm In London, as for days it had
been regarded as certain that Lord Hoberts
would soon bo at Illoemfonteln, and only a
few persons gathered around tho bulletin
boards this morning. Hero and thero flags
wero displayed, but no demonstration
marked tho receipt of tho news. The pre
dominating feeling seemed to be curiosity
as to what would be the result and surmises
as to whether tho Freo Stato would glvo in.
Tho rumors of tho relief of Mafeklng be-
camo more circumstantial today, but they
still lacked official confirmation, whllo tho
Mafeklng dispatch of March D, published to-
day, plainly dlspcoed of tho report that the
besieged residents had evacuated the place
and that tho Boers had retired from Boshof.
A refugee who was at Herschol says that
blttorness nlmcst to the point of hostilities
exists between tho colonial rcbcl and tho
Freo Staters of that locality.

DHEIFONTEIN, Orange Freo Stnto, Sun
day, March 11. General Roberts' advance
yesterday across the searching plains from
Poplar Grove to this placo wns marked
by the most severe engagement slmo cross- i
lng the Modder river. Tho Boors stubbornly
contested every foot of ground, only fleeing
at dusk, when Loid Roberts throw most I
of his troops against thu center of their
weakened lino.
At tho point whero Colonel Broadwood
turned tho Boer left the found himself under
tho lire of their nlne-pounders. The Boers.
however, ultimately hoisted tho whlto flag.
When Colonel Broadwood advanced ho wns
surprUed to find tho Boers had taken ad
vantage of tho cessation of fire to oai-ao
n tho darkness. Tho TrntiBvnal prlnonors
showed they wero entirely surprised by
Lord Hoborts' tactics.
A Freo Stater, whose houso President
Kruger occupied during tho Boer (light from
Oifontelu, said he complained to the presi
dent about tho depredations of tho Trani
vaalers, whereupon the president replied.
No wonder we nro beaten. The burghers

WASHINGTON, Mnrch 13 -The report of
the board appointed to investigate the
charges against Major George W Huthtrs
commissary of subslstance, U. S. V., has been
received nt tho Wnr department.
Although there Is excellent reason for the
belief that Major Huthern was completely
exonerated, the olllrlals of the Wnr depart
ment refuse to give out any Information on
the subject.
The charges against Major Huthers alleged
that, while stationed In Florida, he caused
the government to loe a large amount of
money by the sale of commissary stores not
properly condemned.
