New Yori, Dec. 1.—Hon, H.

It is gonerally admitted that the plan was referred to the sub-com- mitteo only as a basis for something botter. Mr. Cannon’s views are stated as foliows: “If no monetary agreement is reached through tho efforts of this body, and if the United States fluds no respousive voice i Burope to its appeal for the restoration of silver, it will then con- clude the best coursc would be to repeal tho law of July, 1800, and go out of the market for the porchase of silver for currency pirposes unuil such timo as an in- teruational agreoment ean be mado as to the relative value of gold and siver. In my opin- ion, which I believe is shared by o large ma- jurity of our p-oplo, it i3 not possible for the United States of America alove to fix and maintain the ratio between gold and silver for all the world, and from present indica- tions the mints of tte United States will not only not bo opened for tho freesilver coinage, but a leaser, rather than a ereator uso of the white metal as mouey will occur in our country unless some reasonable international agreement can bo made in the near future, If gold monomota'lism is operative among the principal commercial nations, the United States, with its enormous and’ {ncreasing foreign commerca, with its bigh cradit, with 1ts large stock of eold and its rich mines of the same metal, will be compelled not only to cease purchasing silver for currency pur- poses, but Lo take such steps as may be necessary to maintain 1ts stock ot gold.” e Business Troubles, Nuw Youk, Dee,t ~Subedules io the as- signment of Max Schoenthal, who assigned to Selig Housen state tho liabilities ay $202,- S78; nssets, §207,509: actual assets, $05,179. ‘The differenca between the actual and nomi- usi assets {5 due to worthiess accounts, Moxtueal, Dee. 1.—M.

HOW THE WORK WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED Ten Cars Required to Move the Souvenirs— What it Wil Cost—Lixely to Bo Shipped 1n Small Quantities. Wasmixarox, D. C, Deo 1. — [Special Telegram to Tre Bee. |-~Tho moving of the World’s fair souvenirs across the country will be about as much of an undertaking as the famous shipment of coin in the “‘wold tram,” which recently attracted tho atten- tion of the whole country. Mr. Edward G. Platt, son of ex-Senator T. C. Platt of New York, has a little office in the subterraneous vaulis of the treasury department, where ho munagos all shipments of money made by tho governmout. He is not a government official, butis hero as the reprosentative of the United Bxpross company, which has a con- tract with the government to carry all comns and paper curvoney. His father, who is prosident of the company, prefers to keep lim hore without bond rather than let somo lighly borded individual assumo the great respousibilities aund temptations of such osition, Mr. Platt made somo figures for Tne Bee correspondent today showing the magnitude of the approaching work of handiing the five millions of souvenir colns. “People bave littlo iaca,” said he, *as to what the $2,300,000 mean to the people i weight. ‘I'he coins for the exposition will woigh in the neighborhood of forty-five tons, which is five or six times the capacity of any ordinary car. If thesa World’s fair coins were piled up like cordwood thoy apy & cubic space of about 12,000 There 1s such o dead weight to silver wo are seldom able to carry moro than §230,000 o 330,000 on & car and the maxi- mum_omount 13 £500,000. At this rate it would take a train of eightor ten cars to move the souvenir coins if they were carried n bulk. “Itis intended, however, 1 believe, to shin them in small quantities to the various sub- treasuries for distrivution. But this will merely spread the responsibility and 1mport- auco of the work over a greater arca. Wo get two-tenths of 1 cent for overy milo that we carry $1,000 in_silver,” smd” he. “The distance botween Philadeiphia and Chicago is 821 miles, so that if all the coin 1s taken to Chicago it will cost just $4,103 for the ship- ment, It makes no difference as to whether the coins are shipped in largo or smail amouut, as tho express charge 1s by the $1.000 without referenco to the' sizo of the shipment. For short shipments from the Philadelpnia mint to Washington, Baltimore or New Yorl, there is a uniform rate of §1 per thousand.” Mr. Platt expects to make arrangements within tho next few days for the cars guards and various measures of precaution which will be taken on the first silver shipment to Chicago. He says the contract with tho government does not cover insurance against loss by mobs, armed invasion or ‘acts of God,” as the law terms it. It makes the company liable, howaver, 48 & common cat- rier and it is wholly rosponsible for lnsses by thoft or miscarriage while in transit. Tho rezular oflicials of the cumpany who have long been intrusted with guarding coin ship- ments will be on duty in this_special trip, At the offico of the airector of the mint it was said that several of the specimen coins would be received here today and after that the shipments wouid begin at once. feot, POSTOFFICE B ESS, First Assistant Postmastor General Fowler Gives o Few Fizures.
