THE NEW CURRENCY.
Debated All Day In the House by Advoates
and Opponents of Carlisle's
Plan.
MANY DEMOCRATS OPPOSE IT.
Thirty Members not of the Banking Com.
mittee Want to Speak In the
Negative.
Washington. Dec. 19.-As soon as the
regular routine had been disposed (of
to-day, on motion of plringer the house
went Into executive sesilon and debate
on the currency bill was resumed.
Johnson, of Indiana, one of the meml
bers of the minority of the banking
and currency committee, opened with
a vigorous speech In oppoiltion to the
Carlisle bill. Admitting the defects of
our currency system, he said, perfection
could not be obtained by the passage of
a bill along lines suggested by the
banking and currency committee. It
was much easier to attack the present
system than to offer a safe substitute.
The present system had given the coun
try a greenback currency, which en
abled the government to carry on the
war, and producd a market for our
bonds in the hour of danger and peril.
The currency It produced had never
been questioned. This was no time for
experimental legislation and there was
no need of indecent speed.
The exlgencies confronting the treas
ury had, Mr. Johnson said, constrained
a majority of the members of the com
mittee to affix their signatures to the
report, which, in many respects, they
did not approve. He took up the bill.
section by section, and attacked its
various provisions. Mr. Johnson spoke
for almost two hours and was liberally
applauded at the conclusion of his re
marks.
on motion of Mr. Springer, the com
mittee then rose temporarily, and an
order war made fling the time for
the. meeting of the house to-morrow at
11 o'clock, nstead of 12. This was done
to enable the house to devote several
hours to debate before the exercises in
connetion with the dedication of the
statues of Webster and Itark.
Mr. Warner, democrat, of New York,
also a member of the committee on
banking and currency, took the floor
in support of the pending measure. He
denied that the bankers who had ap
peared before the committee were op
posed to the Carlisle bill, with two ex
ceptions--t. John, New York, and War
ner, of Ohio. He deolared that every
banker who appeared before the com
mittee had Indorsed the principles upon
which the bill was based, and in many
oases hal approved its details.
Mr. Ellis, democrat, of Kentucky, fol
lowed, and was the first democratic
member of the banking and currency
committee to attack the Carlisle bill.
At the outset he proclaimed that he
was convinced its passage would rem
edy none of the defects of the present
financial system. In committee, two
conflicting theories had struggled for
supremacy. One was urged by ofmclals
of the government, who desired protec
tion from the assaults of the gold specu
lators, and the other urged by bankers.
who sought to extend their privileges
and Increase their power and profits.
People had nothing to hope from such
schemes. He charged that behind the
bill was the same influences that forced
the repeal of the Sherman act, and
which on that occasion had predicted
that prosperity would follow. The re
peal of the Sherman law having now
admittedly failed, this currency scheme
had been Insidiously pressed forward
by the same high authorities. For
thirty years the democratic party had
condemned the national bank system,
yet it was now proposing not only to
perpetuate the system, but to perpetu
ate It in a form more objectionable than
that in which it at present existed.
Mr. Ellis, in conclusion, charged the
democratic party in congress with be
ing false to its Chicago platform pledges
in not passing a tariff bill for revenue
only, in not repealing outright the 10
per cent. tat on state banks, and in
not restoring silver to its position as a,
money metal on the same terms with
gold.
"The democratic promises," said he,
"will not be redeemed until the people
elect a democratic president. When that
day comes, as I believe it will, the chief
executive will not be chosen from that
small and select class who believe that
all financial Integrity and capacity in
this country is quarantined on Manhat
tan Island."
Mr. Terry, democrat, of Arkansas,
gave notice of an amendment he should
offer, to make circulating notes redeem
able by banks issulng them in equal
parts in gold and silver. A resolution
was passed to allow the governor of
New Hampshire and staff on the floor
of the house during the exercises ini
(connection with the dedication of the
statues of Webster and Stark.
An unexpectedly strong opposition to
the, bill Is disclohed by the list of those
who have asked for time to speak on
the measure. Two lists have been made,
one for nmembers of the bunking com
mitt ee who wish to he heard, and the
,other for memb)ers inot on the commit

to our home markets that stand ready
at a fair price to take all the fruits,
nuts and wine that we can send them."
Henator Turple made a critical anal
ysis of the various provisoncs of the
bill. Before concluding his speech, Hen
ator Turple offered an amendment in
the nature of a substitute for the pend
ing bill providing for the appointment
of a board of three engineers to make
a survey and estimate of the cost of
construction of the canal before any
bonds are guaranteed, and this, he de
clared, was as far as congres ought
to go this session.
Senator Perkins then finished his
speech and at Its conclusion Senator
Morgan gave notice that'he intended to
reply to the remarks of the senator
from Indiana. Turple. After a short
executive session the senate adjourned.
LABOR CHIEFS HEARD.
Arthur and Clark Before the House Comn.
mltte.
Washington, Dec. 19.-An interesting
session of the house committee on labor
was held to-day. Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and Chief Clark, of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Conductors, being heard on
the question of national arbitration of
strikes. Labor Commissioner Wright's
bill for a national commission of arbi
tration, was read, but as the measure
is not yet in bill form, Messrs. Arthur
and Clark reserved their opinion on this
particular bill until later. They repre
sented themselves unqualifiedly in favor
of federal arbitration.
Arthur said his organisation would
not even object to compulsory arbitra
tlon. Mr. Clark's views were along the
same line-general approval of arbitra
tion. The chief agreed also that the
plan of the national incorporation of
labor oraniations, individuals to be
subject to removal for violence or law
lessness, was desirable so long as Indl
viduals were not made personally re
sponsible for the acts of the organisa
tion as a whole.
To Quet Title.
Washington, Dec. 19.-One of the most
important cases of the year was taken
up In the United States supreme court
to-day. It involves the validity of the
title of the Southern Pacific company
to the water front at Oakland. Cal.
The grant war originally made in 1862
to the town of Oakland, then a mere
hamlet, of a large tract of land extend
ing from high water mark to the ship
channel, to enable the town (which was
Incorporated in the same art) to create
a harbor and construct wharves. This
grant Was conveyed to Horace W. Car

his agreement to perform certain con
diUtions required of a town by the grant

and the authorities of Oakland after its
incorporation as a city, In 1864. The
claims were all adjusted in 1868. The
present suit is brought to quit title.
Urging Speedy Action.
Washington. Dec. 19.-E. Ellery An
derson, one of the government direct
ors of the Pacific railroads, was before
the house committee on Pacific rail
roads to-day to urge speedy action on
the settlement of the question. He
pointed out that a foreclosure suit
would be begun against the Union Pa
cific In January. threatening further
complications. He expressed the opin
ion that the Rellly bill for the refunding
of the debt was feasihbl, as the roads
could raise funds to pay off the first
mortgages, thus leaving the govern
ment with a first lion on the roads.

CORRUPTION NOT FAR FROM BYRNES.
Protection Money Wu Paid to Ward Men
in His Distriot When He Was
Captain.
New York, D)ec, l1.-Huplerlnt,.ndent
Ilyrnes figured. conspicuously in the teN
tImnlly of the witneuses before the
I.e-xiw colinrnittee teo-day. Jlohln Melr
relt, formerly agent of the l.iety for
the Pr'e.\vntlion of Crime, testified that
Hiuplerintendent Byrnes had hulldoeze-d
him with threats and fore into divulllg
ing the uecrlets of his society, and had
aftterward relented when hie learned·e
that witnies was ai brother Mason.
Mattle Itoss, a coloreld woman wlho,
some years ago colnductPed two din
rllderly heouses In this city, swore she
pclll "protection" monel.y to ward menl
under Byrnes, superi ntendlent of epo
lih e. Huperlntendent Hyrnes denllied all
allegations against him. lzx-lnispr(tor
Ste'rs announced his readlinlee to go on
the stand and deny Sergeatnt Taylor's
acusatilons. Taylor testified yester
day that he put money paid him an
extras in an envelope and left It on tile
serrgeant's desk.
l'olice Inspector Williams who, with
other inspectors, had been subpoenaed
to testify before the Lexow committee
to-day, was excused until to-morrow.
Dr. Owen J. Ward, of Governor's hos
pital, who was yesterday appointed to
examine "Honest" John Martin, re
ported the latter very ill, and not in con
dition to testify before the committee.
Policeman Interman was placed on
the stand. He stated that ihe had not
told the truth yesterday. Then Ben
ator O'Connor turned and asked: "Can
you tell me, officer, why it is that a
police officer will get on the stand and
swear to an untruth? Is it fear of their
superior officers?"
"Yes, that is It."
Sergeant Burns, one of Capt. Altair's
subordinates, swore that he did not
know that dock policemen had to pay
one-half of their extra earnings to the
captain of the steamboat squad. He
admitted that it is oommon rumor,
however,
"Now, about Sergeant Taylor's tes
timony. Can you tell us what became
of the envelopes which Taylor placed
in the desk ?"
Witness had no recollection of seeing
such envelopes as that described by
iergeent Taylor, marked "Street clean
In report," in packages daily sent to the
Inspector.
"Will you swear you know nothing
whatever about this envelope contain
ing money?'
"Yes."
Taylor was recalled to the stand.
Goff then read from an Interview with
Ex-Inspector Steers, in which he was
quoted as saying Taylor's testimony
was a tissue of falsehoods, and was
given simply as a mode of vengeance
for his refusal to grant the sergeant a
favor.
"Are you still prepared to swear as
you did yesterday ?"
"I am."
"Did you call on Steers last Satur
day, as the Interview relates?"
"I did, and told him that I intended
to tel the truth. He asked if I in
tended to mention his name, and I told
him I was going to tell the truth, no
matter whom it might implicate."
Goff led the witness to say that the
money was paid to the captain of the
steamboat squad in order that the of
fleers might be permitted to take their
assignment to duty on the docks. Wit
ness said he had been approached by
several people in reference to his testi
mony of yesterday, but refused to say
anything about it. lie had no knowl
elge of any other money being collected
In that precinct besides dock money.
Shortly before the opening of the af
ternoon session Ex-Inspector Steers en
tered the court room and took a seat
beside Capt. Allair. Capt. Allair was
the first witness this afternoon. He is
now in command of the steamboat
squad.
"Did you ever hear of any ward men
making collections in the various pre
cincts?"
"No, except by rumor."
"Did your men collect money in your
precinct ?"
"No."
"How did Frank Wilson get rich in
your precinct?"
"I don't know."
"And George Hes and John Wade?"
"I don't know anything about that."
"Ity the way, captain, did you ever
know the notorious Mrs. Martin?"
"Y e."

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Japanese Ic.

Hlroshima, sent through Its minister at
St. Petersburg. detailing the movement
of Japanese troops in China. The follow.
ing is the message: "The Third division,

and occupied Hal Chong on Dec. 13. Both
places are on the route to and near Nal

it is said a third aPmy is evidently on its
way to Join Field Marshal Count Oyama

valuable strategic point.

Livingston, Dec. 11.-The arrange
ment for the entertainment of the
State Teachers' association, which
meets in this city Dec. 26, 27 and 28,

committee is concerned. During the
past week the committee received, with
much regret, the announcement cancel
ing the engagement of the musical class
of the College of Montana, which was

socaitlon, including the reception and
ball. Convenient committee rooms and
headquarters for the association have
been secured at the Albemarle hotel.

WI'asI red( in the r'ilt.ed Htlluts eiourt at
midnight alut night. The jury went
iout it r:.30, and with an inter
val for dinner itruggled over thelir ver
iIlit until shortlly after It o'clock lant
night. Aftler Ilthiy had agreedi it took

from the jail. No the click wai on the.
stroke !of midnight when Clerk Sproule
reiad the v.rdlllt:
"We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of manslaughter."
Jone,)l was extremely nervo,un while
the jpreliminaries of calling the roll of
jurors was being gone through with.
When the vierdlet was announced he
brighteneld up and seemed to be con
gratulating himself on his e.c:ape from
a verdict for the more serhous crime of
murder. iHe will be sentenced later on.
The penalty is from two to ten years'
imprisonment.
The arguments occupied from 10
o'cklck In the morning until 5 In the
afternoon, omitting the two hours at
the noon recess. Assistant Distrlct At
torney Shelton opened for the prosecu
tion. He was followed by John R.
Barrows for the defense. E. C. Russell
closed for the defense, and District At
torney Leslle for the government.
Judge Knowles' Inltructions to the jury
were regarded as very fair toward
Jones. He said if it appeared to
Jones and his companions that they
were attacked unlawfuly by the pose.,
they were warranted in fighting and
the killing of Schubert was justifiable.
The judge said it was proper for omcers
to go on an Indian reservation, with
the consent of the agent. in pursuit of
criminals fleeing from justice after com
mitting a crime against state laws.
Deputy Marshal Jackson in this case
must be regarded as an officer, but it
was necessary that he should make his
omclal character known to the meanhe
meant to arrest. It an officer attacked
a person without making his authority
known, and without being known to
that person, the latter was justified
in resisting, but if due notice was given
then the person should surrender. The
command of "Hands up" was not sufmic
lent notice unless the parties knew the
man giving the order was an officer.
If the occupants of the cabin were sur
rounded and ordered to hold up their
hands, and were fired on without being
given an opportunity to surrender, they
had a right to defend themselves. iut
even if Jackson did not make his official
character known, yet. if he ordered the
firing to cease and the men in the cabin
had no reasonable ground to apprehend
danger, and then shot and killed Schu
bert, the killing Was not justifiable.
In reference to the testimony of
Jimmy Moots the Judge maid the mem
bers of the jury were not to rely on the
uncorroborated evidence of an accom
plice. While it was not safe to convict
on the uncorroborated testimony of an
accomplice, yet that testimony would
not have to be corroborated in every
point. Judge Knowles save the Jury a
choice of three verdicts-guilty of mur
der in the first degree, or of manslaug
ter, or not guilty. It was the omission
of a choice as regards manslaughter In
the charge at the former trial that se
cured the new trial for Jones.
When the Jury retired an informal
ballot was taken, resulting six for mur
der in the first degree and six for not
guilty. The first formal ballot was
murder two, manslaughter five, not
guilty five. The second and third bal
lots stood: Murder two, manslaughter
seven, not guilty three. On the fourth
only one was for murder, ten for man
slaughter and one for acquittal. On the
fifth ballot all were for manslaughter.
The man for kiting whom Jones was
convicted was Henry Schubert. one of
the posse which attempted to arrest
the train robbers on the Ilahckfoot reM
ervation, Oct. 3. 1it:t. lie was killed in
the genral flght that took plawe.
