AUTHORITIES
HAVE DECIDED
They .Must Stay on Olympia While in
New York Harbor Dewey Wants
Them Let In.
Nkw Yohk,' Aug. :Jl. A special to
thu Heralil from Washington eavB:
Under thu Chinese exclusion law, some
members of tlio crow of the Olympia,
who served with such credit in tlio bat
tle of Munilhi bay 119 to win special eom
mcniliitiou from Admiral Dewey, in n
letter to the navy department, may or
may not ho allowed to set foot on shore
when hie llngiihip roaches Now York.
in the b.Utlo with the Spanish fleet,
tlicy were assigned to duty in passing
ammunition and performing other du
ties connected witli the fighting ship,
ami every ono of them did iiis task well
cnQiiuh for Admiral Dewey, who even
encysted that if possible they he ad
mitted to American citizenship. Iiis
letter was referred to the treasury de
partment. Tho secretary replied that
although lie greatly regretted tho fact,
there was no way in which tlio law could
be waived. The Chinamen in the Olym
piad crnw could not be admitted to the
United Slates unless they had been law
fully in this country at the time of their
enlistment.
The law is mandatory upon the of
'T fin 1 9 of tho treasury department, and
it will bo the duty of tho Collector of
Obtains Illdwell, at New York, to pro
vent tho Chinese members of the Olym
piad crow from leaving tlio ship while it
is in Now York ha.-hor. Under tho law,
a naval vessel is part of tho soil of the
country, nnd technically, if any of them
were enlisted in San Francisco, they
have not been out of the United States,
wliilo serving on thu Olympia.
It is not probable, however, that any
action would he taken by the treasury
officials should the Chinamen be allowed
to land on tho supposition that they are
legally entitled to reside in the United
fitutes.
Fractional Currency.
Nkw Yoiiic, Aug. ai. A special to the
Times from Washington, says :
"Hiiiies, quarters and half dollars are
being turned out by all tho mints as
rapidly as they can be produced," said
an ollinor of tho treasury today, "the
demand for fractional currency nnd
silver dollare bolng unprecedented. The
request do not come from ono section
of the country, hut from ovory section.
U is estimated that the orders received
t tho treasury department will avf rage
over iCO,000 in fractional currency u
day."
Treasuror Roberta said that tho do
maud was duo to tho activity in busi
ness. An order was iaaund to tho
California mint on August 1st, ho said,
o turn out $150,000 worth of dimes,
limners and halves a month, until
further notice, only for tho ueo of the
l'aciflc const.

TEXAS WILL BE
REPUBLICAN
Chairman (irccn, of Republican Central
Committee, Confidently Makes the
Assertion Gives Reasons.
New Yoisk, Aug. 31. Edward PI. It.
Green, chairman of thu Republican state
central committee of Texas, euid last
night:
"I nm going home to Torre!, Tex., in
a few days and will soon be in the field
ready for tho campaign next year. 1
take a great interest In politico, and
while it may seem almost too much to
hope, yet I believe that in the near
future Texas will he reclaimed for the
Republican party. Tlio silver craze has
done mncii to strengthen us.
"The delivery of the Democratic party
to the free silver men and the apparent
determination of those in control of the
party machinery to cling to free silver
as an issue, hue drlvon the best men
from tho Democratic party into tlio
Republican ranks. They .have been a
great help to us and I bolieve next year
their number will bu greatly increased.
"We have made heavy gains within
the last iwo or three years,-and every
thing points to a continuanco of this
growth. It is bound to come in time
and Texas will ultimately be Republi
can. I lie majority ot Democrats in
Texas favor W. J. Bryan for the renomi
nation, anil it seems likely tiiat lie will
win."

BRIGADIER AND
MAJOR GENERALS
Five of the Former and Two of tbe hV
ler io be Apinteii,
SHAFTER SOON
TO RETIRE
General Smith and Funston Are Soon
to Be Mustered Out, and increase
in Army Makes an Additional De-!
mand.
New Yonir, Aug. 3'. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : When
President MeKinley returns to Wash
ington he will discuss with Secretary
Root the appointment of officers to the
vacancies existing in grades of major
and brigadier-general. The increase of
the army, regular and volunteer, will
increase the list of major-generals to
eight, and that of brigadier-generals to
twentv-four. There are in service todav
seven major-generals and twentv-one j
brigadier-generals. The retirement of j
General Shatter on October 16th will
create another vacancv in the grade of
m jor-general of volunteers, andava -
cancy in tiie grade of brigadier-general
of tbe regular army.
The president will, therefore, have
authority after October ICth to oppoint
two major-generals, and as it is general
ly understood that Generals James F.
Smith and Frederick Funston are short
ly to jeturn to the United States from
the Philippines and be mustered out,
the president will have five brigadiers
to appoint.
Before his departure from Washington
today, Secretary Root discussed with
General Lodington, qnartermaster-en-
eral, the question of transportation of
ten regiments, organized, and ten being
recruited. Two of the regiments now
ready for transportation will probably
be seut from New York and the re
mainder will etui from San Francisco.
Three of the later volunteer regiments
will be sent from New York.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured

reach the seat of the disease. Catarrli
