right to reject all tenders, or accept such part of any tinder as may suit Its convenience. Will Not Disturb the Market. It is understood that anticipating that its reappearance as a purchaser might temporarily disturb the market unduly, the treasury has obtained control of considerable amounts for future delivery, so that it is in a position to drop out of the market for several mouths if desirable. The average requirements of the treasury throughout the year will probably not exceed 1(X,CK0 ounces per week, and it will be the policy of the department while keeping a reasonable amoimt in hand to so distribute its purchases throughout the year that its demands will be uniform and not an element of uncertainty in the market. Coinage Since 1879. From the resumption of specie payments in 1879 down to the year ltMH) the constant increase in the stock of subsidiary coin required by the growing population and trade of the country was supplied by the recoinage of old and um-urrent subsidiary coins which accumulated in the treasury under the resumption act. In 1P(M), as this stock was running low, authority was granted, in the monetary act of March 11 to the secretary of the treasury to divert bullion purchased under the act of July ut jsttO, for the coinage of silver dollars to the coinage of subsidiary pieces. Under this authority about 2?33,X)0,000 has been coined since lf!00. Stock Exhausted a Year Ago. The stock of bullion in the treasury was exhausted more than a year ago, and since then no bullion has been available for the subsidiary use. The stock in the treasury had become so low that It was apparent, according to the department, that the demands of a constantly enlarging trade could not be met without additional coinage.
New York Central Federated Union Is Managing the Laueh of a New Party. New York, Aug. 10. A new political party to be cftiled the Independent Labor party, has been formed in this city at a meeting called at the suggestion of the executive committee of the Cen
tral Federated Union and composed of about seventy-live members of the different labor unions of Greater New lork. James Hatch, of the executive committee of the Central Federated Union, declared that the union had determined to enter into independent politics this year, and had mapped out a plan to have a labor party organization in every assembly district of Greater New York. Hatch said that it was not the purpose of the Central Federated Union to take up independent politics as n body, but the individual members of the different labor unions would be invited to form clubs in their various assembly districts and from each of these
clubs three inemlors would be elected
to form the general committee of the Independent Labor party.

Pulliam Sends Him One That Sizzles and Has Seven Kinds of Twist. New York, Aug 10. Sam Strang, the member of the New York National League base ball club who was called upon by Captain McfJann, of the New York team, to umpire the Chicago-New York game at the Polo grounds on Tuesday, when Umpire Johnstone was excluded, reported his action to President Pulliam, of the National League. Strang said he had awarded the game to New York by forfeit. President Pulliam replied in a letter, in which, after reviewing the incidents of the forfeited game, he said: "Your action in appearing upon the
ball field you being possessed of all the facts was not only high-handed
defiance of the laws of the National League and organized base ball, but nn extremely discourteous act to me as president of the National League. I would be strictly within my rights and entirely justified in disciplining you for this impertinence; but I propose to look upon your actions with contempt." ANGRY HORSE ATTACKS MADDEN

"Any othersubstantial inducement?" "That's; contrary to law," repib'd Hannaford. "I am getting too old to outside of the pale of the law if I can help it." he continued. "I know of no inducement offered shippers unless freight solicitors pay shippers out of their salaries. There is no way for such vouchers to be paid except by my signature and I have signed uo such vouchers," said Hannaford.

He Finds It, All Right History of Governmeut Silver Purchases. The secretary of the treasury was in doubt whether existing statutes authorized him to buy bullion for this purpose, and, moreover, was of the opinion that it M ould be a better policy to meet future demands for subsidiary coin by the recoinage of silver dollars in the treasury, and so recommended to congress. Congress having failed to act upon his recommendation Secretary Shaw requestd an opinion from the attorney general as to his authority to purchase bullion for this purpose under existing law, and he received a favorable reply based on section ",.'2ti of the revised statutes. The policy now announced was accordingly determined unon.
The United States government has been in the past an imnortant factor
I j in the silver market. In preparing for the resumption of specie payments and
tne redemption or tne tractional paper currency issued during and following the civil war it began in January, IS" a series of purchases ending In Feoruary. 1S7S, which aggregated 31.003.PCo fine ounces, which cost $37.r7L14S in gold, or an average of S1.1SS per ounce fine. The next appearance of the government in the silver market was under
lithe Bland-Allison act of Ueb. IS. 17S. I j The first purchase under this act was
i made at M.-'l o-Ut per line ounce, and the total expenditure for bullion under this act was $30S.279.2:.. The total j amount of bullion required was .2t.il.j 272.018 fine ounces or an average price jfor the whole of ?1.0."S. The Bland-Allison act was succeedi ed by what is popularly known as the j Sherman act. approved July 14. ly.X). which enlarged the purchases of the ! government to 4,.O0.0O0 ounces per month. The total purchases under this ! act amounted to lVMVT4.i;S2 fine ounces, costing ?l.",931.tX2, or an av
erage of $0,024 per ounce. The last purchase under the act of 1S90 made on Oct. SO. 1S03, was at 72 cents per
flounce. From that date until the presii i ....
IB ont the government has been out of
the market for the purchase of silver, except as the agents of the Philippine government in the purchase of a little over 13,r00,000 ounces, costing $7,376,P9o, or an average of $0.042. The lowest price for silver was touched on Dec. 3, 1902, when tha
Catches the Jockey by the Throat and Shakes Him Like He Might Shake a Rat. Brighton, England, Aug. 10. Jockey Madden was attacked and severely hurt by an enraged horse here. Just prior to the decision in the race for the Worthing plate-Marigold IV, ridden by Brady, reared up and knocked Madden, who was- on Centre, out of the saddle.

Madden's throat was badly lacerated and he was bleeding freely when released.
Inferior Grain Substituted for That Which Has Been Inspected Not an Offense Under the Law. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 10. J. W. Radford, state grain inspector, who has just returned from Mexico, where he made investigations, asserts that he found conclusive evidence that several Kansas City grain dealers substitute inferior grades of wheat after the state inspection department has examined and given grades on the grain in cars. As the Kansas law stands, there is no penalty for such an offense. Radford will ask that the legislature pass a law making evasion of the inspection requirements a felony. His attention was called to the alleged fraud by testimony recently in a case brought to invalidate the Kansas grain inspection laws.'
