A Cabinet eeti at Washingtonwas largely devoted to a discussionof the question of coinage for thePhilippine Islands and as a resultit is probable that the Secretary ofWar will request a hearing on the

omznittees ¬

business of the islands is transact ¬

ed in Mexican dollars and armycommissaries and others suppliedwith United States money are attimes greatly embarrassed in mak¬

ing purchases from the Filippinosby the fact that knowing nothingof our money or its value the lat¬

ter often refuse to accept it Theproposition which seems to havemet with favor by the Administra ¬

tion is to purchase silver bullionat the present market price andcoin it into distinctive dollarshaving a gold value of about fiftycents each These dollars proba¬

ed that by the early action of Con ¬

gress the new coins may be put in ¬

to circulation before a great whilepossibly before the winter is over

so done Now it is no longer aquestion of whether there will bea reduction of the beer tax but ofhow small a reduction the brew ¬

ers can be cajoled into acceptingThe bill as reported from the Waysand Means Committee makes a re ¬

duction of 40 cents a barrol in thebeer tax but it not yet certainthat the brews will accept that

Students of human nature asexhibited in the political worldare trying to reconcile Mr Mc
