Mr. W Duke has given another 100,000 to Trinity College. This is uuconditioual. Trinity is sure ly to be congratulated in having .'Stieh wealthy enthusiastic friends.

SPLENDID INDEED. It will bs remembsred that we quoted about this time last year, the splendid achievement of Mr. Edgar B Sherrill, brother of our iowns m&n and Ti mesman, Mr. J B Sher- mi, in carrying off the $50 cash $jriz9 from the Junior Class of the g.sr department of the Georgetown tTT m . . i tTT m- . . 4 ,umvmBl1 nio year ne gradu- ated with a class of 76 and crowns muima witu iae ciuu casn pnz jT A. 1 I i .... for the best average in recitations -and f xaooinations during the year. His grade stands at the enviable score of ninty-nine and - two fifths. iMr. Sherrill's achievement is the more brilliant, too, from the fact 'that he could only give his nights to his law studies. He is proof reader in the government printing office, to which he must give his Iay service. It affords us profound pleasure to naote such success in Mr. Sherriirs rlaudabie ambitions and his steady fparsevering energies. W e hope to ihear of ripe fruits, ere long, from Mr. Sherrill in the sphere of states xaaanship. We tender our most hearty con fratulations. The government has claims of about :$16,000,000 pigeon-holed, to sfee brought out when the wind-up comes with Spain, for property lost to American citizens by the war .in CUiba. !

The Republican voted solidly I for the minority report and seven uemocrats voted ine same i wav They were Messrp. Caftrey, Faulk - ner, Gorman, Gray, Lindsay, Mitch ell and Murphy. The senate amendment provides that no bonds shall b- sold until certificates of indebtedness amount ing to $50.000 000 shall have been taken by the public. It is said that the secretary of the treasury does not like this provision andvill en deavor to have it stricken when the bill goes back to the house. He de sires to sell bonds first and hold the certificates in reserve, to b9 used in emergencies. The sonate finance committee proposed the immediate issue of silver certificates to the amount of the difference between the cost of the silver bullion in the treasury purchased under the Sherman act audits coinage value. Tnis amounts to S42 000,000, and it adopted would add that much to our paper cur rency as fast as the government could have the bills printed. As a substitute for this plan Senv tor Wolcott offered an amendment which was adopted. It provides that the silver bullion in the treas ury shall be coined in dollars at the rate of 4 000,000 a month, and that upon the first $42 000000 certifi cates shall issue as it is coined. The remaining dollars as coined shall remain in the treasury ready to pay off the treasury . notes issued under the Sherman law if payment is ever demanded for them in silver. Both propositions would add $42,000,000 to the volume of our paper cur rency. lhe diffdreoca is that the nl,m proposed by the majority of tbe senate committee would accomplish at once what it will rtquire ten and a half months to do by the Walcott plan. It 19 not certain that the hou3e willagrjBe to this amendment. It is not looked upon with favor by the administration which has ney9r failed to have its way in the present house of representatives. Atlanta Journal. - m : L Spain's Case Hopeless! A London cable ot the ; 6th to the New York Sun says : i The Times this morning says, with the disappearance of all hopes founded upon the Spanish fleet the, sympathizers with Spain recognize that her case is hope less. Vague aspirations of Europ ean intervention now find vent aU(J the Americans are warned that they cannot afford to disre grad the wishes of a combination of two or three powers, r They won't distress themselves " over these warnings until the combina tion is in a more . tangible form than there is any prospects ot at present. i The Spanish people made their fight as well as their previous neglect and unpreparedness would permit and the game' is clearly lost. Cuba is lost to them in any event and; all that' remains is for them to v ask themselves whether they will add other per fectly gratuitous disasters.

The Bank of Spain has been I ; yery patriotic in its support of the government, ' but it appears that the time has come when lit tle further aid can be expected froui this source. The bank suspended gold pay ments a year ago and gold is now at a premium over silver niid bank paper of nearly 90. The bank will probably be forced to suspend silyer payment very soon and then silver will go to a 1 premium over the bank's note When the destruction of thto nc . . i i i i.' i j ;i ! iiiame occurrea tne oaiiK neiu Bu yer to thts amount of 266,000,000 pesetas, against which were out standing: some 950,000,000 pesetas in circulating notes. Last., week the silver holdings of the- bank amounted to only 115,000,000 pesetas. Its silver reserve has been drawn down over one-half, or by 150,000,000 pesetas, and mainly siuce the war broke out. The suspension ot the bank is now threatened and the govern ment is exerting itself to preyent that cl amity. In its efforts to do so, it is buying or borrowing sil ver bullion and bavins; it coined ot the ratio of 15 1 2 to 1 to meet the run on the bank. If this policy fails to hold up the govern ment's credit, as it probably will, a resort will probably be had to a forced loan in shape of un limited issue of paper money. The financial conditon of Spain is becoming more desperate and it is impossible to see how she can hold up much longer. Atlanta Journal. Get Puerto Rico. The point Secretary Day is said to have made that we must capture Puerto Kico before Spain sues for peace in order to make sure of indemnity is very well taken. It is important, however, that it should be supplemented by the declaration that the island is to be held, not as security for the iademnity, but as being itself the indemnity, in whole or in part. If we hold Puerto Bico as se curity for the payment of the costs of the war, Spain will have an equity of redemption. Spain may laise the money and redeem the island. This is not to be re graded as admissible. Whether or not we want Puerto Rico for our selves, we cannot allow Spain to keep it., bhe must quit this hem isphere. It would be a cause ot of constant irritation and danger if she should continue to enjoy the ngnt to send ships ot war to pos sessions of her own in waters near Cuba and our own coasts. The only prudent, the only safe courso is to expell her from the new world altogether. The preparations to invade and capture Puerto Rico are wise and timely. . . Make the island ours and the treaty of peace will confirm our title. New York Times. Solicitor II ol to u Sere; Solicitor Holton arrived in our city Tuesday niht, having come on business.
