TiiU Guveri. merit Mny Coin Distinctive Dollar to Kel:ice Mexican Ones. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-TI10 cabi net meeting ycsterd'iy was larcely de voted to a discussion of the question of a cciiini;e for the Philippine islands, and as a result it is probable that the secre tary of war will request a heariiiR on the subject before oiu ot the committees of congress. Nearly all the business of the islands is transacted iu Mexican dol lars, and army coiu'ius.'urics and others supplied with United Mutes money aro at times greatly em'iimassed in making rurchascs for the Filipinos by the fact that, knowing nothing tr our money or itr. value, the latter often refuse to oe cept it. The proposition wli'ch seems to have met with favor by the administration Is to purchase silver bullion at tho present market price and coin it into distinctive dollars, having a sold value of about 50 cents each. These dollars probably will contain a little less silver than the pres ent standard dollars. The cabinet also discussed the house bill revising the war revenue act which proposes a cut of about $10,(MMMXH1 in the revenues. The members of the administration all think that it would be unwise in the extreme to make the cut greater than $30,000,000. oleomargarine bill Grout s Measure l'mxci the Homo With out Amendment.

The bill increases the tax on oleomar garine colored in imitation of butter from 2 to 10 cents per pound and decreases the tax on oleomargarine uncolored from 2 ceuts to one-iiuurter of a cent per pound.
