A Young Girl’s Experience.
My daughter’s nerves were terribly out of
order. She was thin and weak; the least
noise startled her, and she was wakeful at
night. Before she had taken one package
of Celery King the change in her was so
great that she could hardly be taken for the
same girl. She is rapidly growing well and
strong, her complexion is perfect, and she
sleeps well every night.—Mrs. Lucy McNutt,

HARPER’S‘
Statesmen and Financiers of
England So Decide.
N0 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT YET.
Prices and Wages Rise In China.
While Silver Goes Down—To Open
Indian Mints to Silver Now
Would Result Disastronsly.
W'ASHINGI‘ON‘, Aug. 11.——In diplo-
matic quarters copies of the report just
presented to the houses of parliament
by the committee which investigated the
currency of India have been received. It
is on this report that Lord George Hamil-
ton, sccretary of state for India, has
based his announcement within the last
few days that India would go to the
gold standard. The announcement has
attracted much attention in the United
States, and the conclusions, moreover,
are to some extent connected with the ne-
gotiations carried on some months ago by
Senator \Volcott and others, representing
this country. as to international imct-
allism. This commission was ma 9 up
of the most influential statesmen and
financxcrs of England, and the testimony
before them was given by such eminent
authorities as Lord Rothschild, head of
the great firm of Rothschild; Lord Alden-
ham, former governor of the Bank of
England; the Earl of Northbrook, for-
mer governor general of India; Sir Alex-
ander MacKcnzie, lieutenant governor
of Bengal; Professor Marshall of the
University of Cambridge, and indeed
practically all of the students and schol-
ars of economic questions in Great Brit-
ain. The sessions were private and the
, testimony, as well as the final report, has
now been made public for the first time.
The report first sets forth the origin
and present condition of the monetary
system of India, and then says: i
"We proceed to consider the question
whether in the light of the six years’ cx-
pcricncc gained since 1893 it is desirable
to reverse the policy initiated in that
year and to reopen the Indian mints to
the unrestricted coinage of silver. in our
opinion any measures for gradual reopen-
ing would be so fully and immediately

CUT PAPER
discounted as to defeat the precise ob-
jects for which they are suggested. It is
obvious, moreover, that the certain pros-
pcct of a heavy fall in coinage would at
once drive. capital from India.
“The policy of opening the mints at
some future date to silver stands on a
different footing when urged by those
who look forward to an international
agreement and consider that there is rea-
sona blc hope of such an agreement within
a limited period. SucL persons aim di-
rectly at a stable exchange between In-
dia and the United Kingdom and adv0<
catc delay only in order that an interna-
tional agreement may be reached.
“\Vith reg. 'd t9 th' anticipation, we
confine ofirsélé'es heifelfo stating that the
pggotiutjon’s of 1897 with France and the
United States of America, having proved
fruitless, no fresh proposals, so far as we
are aware, have been 03 gre 3% made
by any of the governments co cerned.
“We come next to the suggestion that
the present system of closed mints handi-
caps India in her industrial competition
with countries on a silver standard. This
aspect of the question was considered by
Lord Herschcll’s committee, who express-
ed the opinion that even if we assume the
argument as to a stimulus or check to
production to be sound, the efiect of each
successive fall in exchange must be tran—
sitory and could continue until circum-
stances have brought about the inevitable
adjustment. -
“In this opinion we concur, and evi-
dence has been laid before us which
shows that prices and wages have risen
in China since silver has fallen in price,
and the local copper currency has appre-
ciated in terms of silver.
“To reopen the Indian mints to silver
without an international agreement
would necessarily result, according to all
past experiences, in renewing the insta-
bility of exchanges between India and
gold standard countries. It is generally
recognized that fluctuations of exchange
constitute an obstacle to international
trade, the true interests of which are to
be sought in a stable monetary power of
exchange.” 3
The report then discusses the principle
of a gold standard and says: 4
“At the present time the practical al-
ternative to silver monometallism is a
gold standard~—that is to say, gold as the
measure of value in India, either with a
gold currency or a gold reserve.”

Japan it'll] 'Buy' Tobacco Here.
\VASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Ministcr
Buck has reported to the state depart-
;‘nent that the Japanese government has
concluded arrangements for the purchase
of tobacco through agents and will ob-
tain supplies generally from the United
States. This result follows inquiries set
on foot after conferences between Sec-
retary Hay and some of the members of
the Virginia delegation in congress, in-
cludipg Senator Martin and Representa-
tive Swanson. The latter were desirous
of having the tobacco interests protected
against any discriminations which might
follow the organization of a government
monopoly of the. tpbgcco Business.

Testimony In Regard to Robberies
and Opium Joints.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—More than, 100
patrolmen in uniform filled the seats re-
served for witnesses when the session of
the Mazet legislative investigating com-
mittee met yesterday. They came from
all parts of 'the city. from Coney Island
to the Bronx. Mr. Moss then said that
the only book furnished him by Captain
McClusky’s detective bureau showing
robberies was a record of property recov-
ered. The property appearing therein
does not appear on the chief’s book. Mr.
' Moss read from the book the value of the
property recovered. It showed that prop-
erty from all over the United States was
brought to New York and disposed of
in pawnshops and other places. “It ap-
pears from this,” said Mr. Moss, “that
thieves who live here go into the outlying
districts to commit robberies and then
bring their plunder to this city and get
rid of it here.” -
“Ye§t‘c}'gay,” said Mr. Moss, “we put
in evidence the record of the complaints
of 160 citizens robbed in two precincts
by women. Now I offer a transcript
from the record showing 190 other such
robberies reported to the police in four
precincts.”
John R. Wood, one of the committee’s
dete‘ctives, testified concerning the opium
joints in New York city. He also detailed
many interesting facts concerning the ex-
istence of poolrooms in the city; ’l'he
manner in which the police commission-
ers deal with offending policemen was the
feature during the latter half of the day.

' Must Ptiy Taxes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The com-
xmissioner of internal revenue has held
that a fermented liquor, though diluted
to such an extent as to be called non-
intoxicating, is a beverage for the sale of
which a special tax must be paid. In the
case of a certain 1iquOr of this character
which is sold under a label as an “invigo—
rating tonic” stamp tax must also be paid
thereon as a medicinal preparation. even
when it contains no drugs or medicinal
. i ingredients.
Auditors Change Places. ‘
\VASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Undcr di-
rection of secretary of the treasury, Mr.
Morris. auditor for the navy department.
and Mr. Brown, auditor for the war de-
partment. exchanged places. Their com-
missions having arrived with thc presi—
dent’s signature yesterday, they took
charge of their respective offices. It is
said that the work of the auditor for the
war department is more than a year in
arrears, largely on account of the war.

COLUMBIA LOST.
In the Trial Race Yesterday the New
Yacht Was Beaten by Defender.
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Aug. 11.
—-The old yacht champion Defender prac-
tically won a race against Columbia yes-
terday, if time allowance were given, in
the dirtiest sort of weather for a yacht
cruise. But the victory, it must be ad-
mitted, was more than well earned, and
the yachtsmen of the New York club
and their guests never saw before and
may 11 t see again to years such a sail-
ing ev%nt. The martian betwee'h the fa-
mous sloops was four seceonds over a
minute in the 37 mile run from Brenton’s
Reef lightship, off Newport, to the NVest
Chop b'uoy in Vineyard sound, with a
change in course at Vineyard Sound )ight-
Ship. 171,4 miles from the start. ”
Taking out of consideration the mag-
nificent spectacle of the great fleet of
craft spilingpunder heavy canvas only,
some of the smallerones with reefs tak-
en iii their mainsails, the race between
Columbia and Defender was fairly soul
stirring. .. w . -.—
