Washington, Use. 20.—The veiling
that haa concealed the statues of Daniel
Wo hater and Gen. John Starke, which
have been placed in tbe extreme north
end of Mutuary ball in the national Cap
itol, as tha gift of the people of the state
of New Hampshire, were quiotly re
moved today and tbe public was for tho
firßt time pa.-rnitted to louk upon theae
latest additiuns to the national collec
tion of memorial tiguroa.
Tbe unveiling ceremony was as simple
as it was possible to make it, and con
sisted in lifting from the marble col
umns the shrouds of canvas with which
they were covered. There were, how
ever, quite nn afsemhlage of peopio, in
cluding Governor Smith of New Ib.tnp-
General John Starke
shire and. statf, in tbe hall uutil the
veil was cast aside.
When the ligurea were disclosed there
was a round of applause from tho New
Hampshire men. The facn oi Wouatar
showß ita characteristic vigor, although,
there is a benignant expression not
shown in tbe usual prints und buets of
the grout oralor. He stands erect, clud
in old time dress cout and choker, his
left hand grasping a roll of manuscript.
General S'.sikn wears the Continental
uniform and his right hand holds the
hilt ol a ehsalhed sword.
Uov ruor Smith and staff expreased
great satisfaction with both statues.
The senate and house both took ap
propriate action upon the reception of
the works of art, but not in the hall
where the statues stood. There were
appropriate speeches and resolutions,
but these proceedings were conducted
by each body in its own ball of general
meeting.
The speeches were without exception
carefully prepared reviews of the life
aud characters of the men to whom th<t
day was devoted, ami while thoro was
no apparent effort iv any instance to
catch the ear by hivbts of oratory, there
were many Dassaitea which were liksiv

Governor Smith and his stafl occupied

AIADK I'EtlC,
Father McGlynn Will lteoognlzs UUhup
Curt-lean.
Nkw Yobk, Dec. 20. —A spocial to tbe
World from Washington says:
Monoignor Satolli, tbe papal delegate,
through bis secretary. Dr. Papi, con
firms the statement that the Hey. Ed
ward McGlynn has made peace with
Archbishop Corriyan. Tiie secretary
said Father McGlynn'a letter to Arch
bishop Corrigan haa led to tho settle
ment of all differences between thorn.
The letter was entirely formal and
announced that the writer waa r -.-.uv to
recognize the authority of the arch
bishop, and he expressed bia willingness
to submit to the will of his superiors in
the church and asking that he bs given
some position in the archbishop's dio
cese.
Dr. Papi states that Archbishop Cor
rigan was pleased to receive the letter,
as he likes and admires Father Mc-
Glynn. He has desired the reconcilia
tion for some timo, aud only required
Father McGlynn to recognizt the au*
thority bestowed upon his grace by the
church.
Mgr. Satolli, according to Dr. Papi,
took great interest iv the matter, and
had a part in bringing about the recon
ciliation. While tbe doctor wou!d not
give tbe detail* of the proceeding, yet
he left it to be undoistood that it was
through the papal delegate'a efforts that
peace has finally been restored. It is
not certain that Father McGlynn will
bo assigned to duty by Christmas day,
nor what will be given him, but that he
hue been restored to full favor is cer
tain, and a place in the church will fol
low.
Kingston, N. V., Dac. 20.—The Ray.
Dr. Bnrteell, of this city, said today
that he felt called upon to make a state
ment in regard to tiie restoration of Rev.
Dr. McGlynn and his present standing
in the priesthood. In accordance with
this sentiment ha lurniahed the foilow
ing to the Associated Press for put.l.ca
tion :
"J)r. McGlynn, from the day he was re
lieved from excommunication by Mgr.
Satolli, waa a priest in good standing in
the diocese of New York, and simply by
bin own wish, no proposition was made
to have him appointed to any particular
locality.
"Mgr. Satolli gave him a letter recom
mending him to all tbe bishops of the
country, and suggested tbat he be al
low.- I to exercise his rights as a minister
in any diocese he might be in for the
time baing. Itwasalwuvs understood,
however, that Dr. McGlynn had no
thought of severing his connection with
the diocoso of New York, to which he
belonged.
"Mgr. Satolli at that time declared
positively that Dr. McGlynn'a teachings
on the land question were not in any
senno contrary to the doctrines of the
church, and he was aa free to maintain
them aa any ono would he to assail
them, because they were a question of
political economy. It was entirely by
Dr. McGlynn'a own volition that any ap
plication lor a local position was pre
pared ut the present time."

Washington, Doc. 20. —Tn executive

by which tho nomination of Judge Clarke

which ho thought ought to be inves
tigated while there was yet opportunity.
IN THE NICK OF TIMB.
Attorney-General Olney said the
charges were of a moat serious nntare
nnd were tiled by a reputable Now York
firm. Had they been preeonted a day
later, he added, they would have been
too late to recall Ihe confirmation an tl c
time limit within which such action
could have been taken would havo ex
pired.
The senate judiciary committer will
investigate tha matter at out.:, as Sen
ator Hurris, who declines to discuss the
else, will tomorrow hand the documents
over to the chairman', Senator Pnsth.

Charles L>. Clarke, uppointed to suc
ceed D. M. KLay as United Stntea judge
ior the oast und middle district of Tenn

with J. Y. Barr.
Tho ch.-.rc.-<s are that Mr. Clarke's firm,

MORE TALK ABOUT MONEY.
Sparry and Itroalu, IXtouas tha Car-
roue/ Mill.
Washington, Dee. 20. —The debate on
tbe currency bill was comparatively
brief in the house today, owing to the
exercises in connection with the accept
ance of tbe statues of Webster and
Starke.
Messrs. Sparry of Connecticut, a
Democratic raembor of tbe banking and
currency committee, and Brosiua of
Pennsvlyania, a Republican, cham
pioned and opposed tbe measure
respectively. The former vras opposed
to various features of the bill, but de
clared bis intention of voting for it if
nothing better could be secured.
On tbe opening of tbs session Brock
inridge of Kentucky reported the im
portant urgeucy oi the deficiency bill,
appropriating $300,000 for tbe consul.
This appropriation included trie defi
ciency bill which passed the bouse a
le* days »ko, which is being held up iv
tha senate. Breckinridge stated that
unless this supplementary bill was
passed immediately the work of the
census would stop. Cannon of Illinois
prevailed on Breckinridge to accept an
amendment appropriating $125,000 for
fees of jurors (also included in the
former bill), and, ua amended, the bill
wus passed.
On motion of Sickloo of New York a
bill waa passed to pension tbo widow of
the lute Maj.-Gan. Nathaniel P. Banks
at the rate of $100 a mouth.
Outuwaite presented a joint resolu
tion for tbe usual holiday adjournment
to beam Saturday, December 23d, and
end Thursday, January 3d. The resolu
tion was privileged.
English of New Jersey arose with the
intention of offering an amendment to
adjourn tomorrow.
Outhwaile cut him off with a demand
for the previous question. The gentle
man from New Jersey gave notice that
he would demand v quorum. The vote
only developed the presence of 45 mem
bars, aud Outhwaito withdrew tho reso
lution.
Tho house then went into committee
of the whole, and resumed considera
tion of the currODCy bill. Sperry of
Connecticut took the llaor in support
of the measure. Sperry said, person
ally fie did not fuvcr the revival of
state baiks, he was willing to ac
quiesco undor the conditions imposed
in order to Becure tho features oi
the moasure. He wi* believer in the
safety oi tbe fund principle, he said,
becaus9 it insured prompt redemption
of notes without espouse to the hold
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
era. It made the notes, practically na
tional currency.
Sperry argued that all legal tenders
and treasury notes of the government
should be retired. Their existence was
running the government in debt to
maintain gold payment. One hundred
million dollars bad already been bor
rowed, and if he were to indulge in proph
ecy, $..0,000,000 mora of bonds would
be isßued before Washington's birthday.
The impression was abroad tbat tbis
' government waa almost inaoWeat or
about to slip into a silver basil. Mr.
Sparry waa liborally applauded.
Mr. Broaius, Republican of I'onnsyU
vania, wbo followed in opposition, said
tbe other side presented a strantte spec
tacle. In the midst of the sensation*,
even those who declared they were in
favor of the bill admitted that they
were opposed to every section of it.
i At 2 o'clock when Mr. Brnsiua con-
I eluded li s argument, according to the
special order of tho exercises in connec
i tion with the reception and acceptance
of tha statues of Gran. John Stark and
! Daniel Webster from tbe state of New
; Hampshire begun.
SPRINGER AND CARLISLE.
Conaaltatlnn Looking to Amendment of
thn OnrveMOjr Kill,
Washington, Doc. 20.—A. conference
was held nt the treasury department to
day between .Secretary Carlisle and
Chairman Soringer nf tho house com
mittee on bankingnnd currency, relative
to amending Carlisle's currency bill now
before the house. The subject was gona
over fully, nud as a result of the talk
Springer will propose a number of
amendments designed to remove some of
the objections advanced against the bill
One uDjection ia that tinder section 7,
somo banks may be permitted to make
a circulation of till per cent on their
capital btock, while the bill limits the cir
culation to 76 per cent of the capital stock.
This would be remedied by requiring
the excess to ba returned by a deposit of
greenbacks. Under tbe existing pro
visions the time in which banka will ba
required to comply with the new law
may be extended for two years. The
house may tlx, hy nnicndment, the time
to a more remote date. The bill will ba
made so clear thitt holders of national
bank notes will be protected during the
time tbe old banks) are conforming to
the new law. Another amendment will
provide thnt the government will re
ceive old notes for internal taxes, can'el
them and isßtie notes under the new
law.
It ia poesible theae, and other amend
ments that the Democratic majority of
t lm bauking committee may agree upon,
may be embraced in a substitute which
can be presented before tbe five minute
debate, begins. Such substitute, em
bodying all the amendments and iin-
I provements suggested by the debate is
j thought to be more desirable than hav
\ ing tho original bill patched from end to
end with amendments.
Tho conference did not bring out any
1 consideration of the three important
! amendments which have been urged on
| the lloor of the house, viz. : The issue
|of bonds to retire outstanding green
! backs, elimination of state banks and
the limiting of n bank's liability for
looses to other banks to one per cent.
Aa to the bond itmio to retire green
back r, thia will probably be oli'ered by
amendments, bnt it io believed the feel
ing against the bond issue will defeat
the amendment. The elimination of
the state banks and the limit of liabil
ity will also be presented aa independent
, amendments.
