la Trial for Murder to lU'klii Thin
Mornlnv.
After months of weary waiting behind the
>ld steel bars of the Hennepln county jail,
rank 'Wilson, who is charged with the cruel
inrder of Remie Duscbarme Jr., lv the lonely
tvamp near Hopkins, Minn., will be brouftht
ito the court room this morning to be tried
y a jury of his peers, whose verdict will
---■• lake him a free man or seal his fate In
ternity.
Afte r two long days of examination of tales
icn, twelve of the tried and true have been
• und. the last two being sworn in just be
ire adjournment yesterday. E'ght ol the
my were selected from the first venire of
wenty-tive names, and the remaining four
Fere chosen from a special venire of the same
mmber. The jury is composed of the follow
ng; H. B. Fletcher, G. 11. Blwell, F. L. Dar-
X)w, ('. F. Smith. Henry O. Juve, W. \V. Her
"iek; A. \V. Hawkins, Alfred J. Wagner, I.
f. Porterfield, James Crick; Tillman Knap,
2. A. Warren.
The taking of testimony will begin this
Doming, and it Is reported th;it the state's
ir witness is on his way from Fargo, who
Will tistify that he Raw Wilson with !>u-
U barme on the day the latter was last seen
illve. The gruesome skeleton, which was
r< uiid on tiic path in the swamp, will also be
produced by the sti'te. which expects to show
that it is that of Duscharme from the fact
that Duscbarme was a cripple, and the skele
ton plainly shows the defect.
The defense will attempt to show that the
skeleton 16 not that of Duseharme. but that
It Is that of a man who was killed on the
ralln ad tracks, and was dragged to where it
was found.
During the selection of a jury yesterday,
Wilson sat behind his attorney, A. P. Liomis.
and watched the proceedings with Interest.
He is a short, stout man of dark complexion,
"""with a short, straight black mustache, and
there i^ nothing in his countenance to Indi
cate that he is the least apprehensive regard
ing the outcome of the trial upon which his
life \a in jeopardy. The big court room was
well tilled with a morbid crowd yesterday,
which bids fair to increase in proportions as
the trial progresses.
HONEY FOR EDUCATION.
- Board Borrowi $50,000 From gink-
Ing Fund Commission.
The board of education made a formal re
tliWHt yesterday to the sinking fund commis
sion for the loan of |50,000 until June 1, at a
rate of three and a half per cent. The com
mission held a meeting in Mayor Pratt's of
fice, in the city hall, with the mayor. City
Treasurer Hurlbut and City Comptroller Nye
present. The meeting was called at the re
,. quest of the mayor, who presented the nerds
of the board of education, and which was as
plated above.
The board only need this sum at present.
They expect in time to need more, but are
not paying interest on money wtatoh they
cannot use imrmdiately. They will give a
note to the sinking fund commission to cover
the loan. The commission, after duly con
sidering the matter, voted to loan the board
the money under the stated conditions.
This probably ends the agitation about the
closing of the schools. While the board
states that, they will have to close under any
circumstances on May 1, It Is hoped that a
way can be found to keep them open the reg
ular length of time.
Hlu Tux Tide Void.
Ewdin M. Ware had a tax title to certain
property In Murphy's addition, the time for
redemption had expired and he supposed that
the land was his. The description in the cer
tl'icate given him covered a portion of the
land adjoining Riverside avenue, which be
longs to Augsburg seminary, and an action
was brought to quiet title. Yesterday Judge
llcGee handed down a decision which con
firms the title of the seminary and leaves
Ware so much money out. The Judge admits
that the judgments and certificates were in
proper form, and that the time for redemp
tion had expired, but the description In the
certificate given by the county auditor was
Insufficient, in that It was Indefinite and un
certain. Ware's tax title is therefore de
clared void.

Kilitor HI 11 ncharil on the Stand
In the Libel Suit \Riiinsi the
TIIIIOH.
When court adjourned at 5 o'clock
last evening but three Jurors had
been secured in the Haugen trial for
misappropriation of city funds. The
attorneys on each side are exercising
the utmost care, and no man is al
lowed to serve unless entirely without
prejudice or bias of any kind. Attorney
General Childs and County Attorney
Peterson are conducting the case for
the state, and Frank M. Nye appears
for the defendant. The jurors secured
thus far are F.F.Lenhart.Ed ward Swit
zer and G. A. Mason. Many curious
re-plies are returned to the queries of
the lawyers in questioning as to the
fitness of the talesmen to act as jurors,
but P. Gibbons, the last man exam
ined yesterday, deserves a medal for his
skill in murdering the queen's English.
Mr. Nye had asked Gibbons if he had
formed any opinion in the case, and
the following reply by Gibbons is wor
thy of commemoration:
"I have formed my opinion like this:
If a man was guilty or was proven
guilty, or if he wasn't guilty or couldn't
In proven guilty, that was my opinion
on that subject."
Unless greater success attends Lhe
effort? today in securing a jury, it is
not likely that any testimony will be
given until Thursday.
RLANCHAHD ON THK STAND.
Wnnle the Editorial Without ton
raiting Haalcell;
In the Haskell libel suit yesterday morning
Samuel Hill wu ugalu questioned regarding
his charge of blackmail against Mr. Haskell.
He said the occurrence was in the spring of
Questioned by Mr. Flennery, . the witness
swore that there had never been any offers
for the West Pullman bonds except the one
presented to the court.
"Did the Minneapolis Trust company sell
to itself any 'bonds for 10 o-°r..ts on the dol
lar or to any of its agents?"
"No. sir."'
"Did the Minneapolis Trust com>painy make
$130,000 by this transaction?"
"No. sir."
"Did you ever make a cent on the trans
action?"
"No, sir."
John Ulanch&rd, editorial writer on The
Times, was sworn and was questioned by
Mr. Jackson. He had held his position since
January, 1890. He admitted writing the al
leged llbek>us editorial and wrote It without
any consultation wi.h anyone. Mr. Haskell
was not in the building at the time he sent
it to the eonrposlng room. That was aifiter
1 o'clock Sunday morning, the day it ap
peared.
"Explain why you wrote It?"
"I had been .interested In the actions of
the trust company since February, 1896. when
the La Salle National bank filed an affidavit.
Sine© thait time I watchrd the proceedings
in court and as reports came to the paper,
a.nd they were always very damaging I
thought when this Hart affidavit was handed
me that the time had come for me to Inake
an exposure of the whole .matter. There had
been a great many failures and embezzle
ments, I think about twenty, and many po >r
people had their earnings swept away. I was
informed that this company had bsen engajged
in many questionable transactions."
"I move that the last assertion be stricken
out," ea'id Judge Belden.
"I'll let that stand," replied the court.
"All I care to say for my&elf is," said the
witness, "that my mind had been prepared
for tho Hart affidavit by information brought
in by a competent .member of The Times staff
who- had been sent out for that purpose."
"Did you have any evil purpose or mal
evolent feeling toward the Minneapolis Trust
company when you wrote It?"
"No, sir."
"Did you know at the time who the par
ties were who were responsible for the ac
tion cf the company?"
"Only Mr. Hill and Mr. Hamblin."
The witness swore that there was no con
sultatlon with Mr. Haskell, with reference
to the Hart affidavit, and none as to whether
there should be an editorial or not. Relating
to the conversation with P. B. Winston the
witness insisted that he had dictated a memo
randum of that conversation to a stenograph
er an hour after it transpired. Mr. Flannery
objected to the impeachment of their own
witness, but the court allowed the lnnulry
but only on the point where Mr. Winston
said his conversation related to the atlkude
of The Times in the consolidation scheme.
"Don't you think when you wrote these
words (quoting from the article) that you
were Injuring these men?"
"It would be injuring an Innocent man,"
was the reply.
"What knowledge did you have of the evi
dence in court?"
"I followed It, but I can't say now what
it was. I remembered the matter a year be
fore of the Ui Salle National bank. I didn't
think it was square. I can't give you any
particulars of what 1 had heard. I was satis
fied that the comment was Justified."
The witness was questioned about each
Item of the editorial, and asserted that each,
In his opinion, was a statement of fact.
"What evidence had you of a conspiracy
between these officers of the trust company?"
"It was evident. What I meant was that
the transaction had been wrought out by
more than one."
"What evidence had you?"
"Well, I was sure the thing took place
and there must have been more than one In
"Did you know that these men conspired
together and divided $130,000 among them?"
"I knew one of them got some bonds."
"Did you read the evidence as to where
those bonds came from?"
"No, sir; I did not."
The witness was given the name of every
one who testified in the case, and could not
say that he had read any of their evidence.
He had no evidence that the trust company
got any of the bonds, but he drew his de
ductions from what he had learned. He never
felt called upon to make any Inquiries as to
who the men were whom he was about to
accuse. He didn't care if it was So or So—
it was all the same to him. Mr. Flannery took
the paper book and showed that the Hart
affidavit had not given the portion of Mr
Male's evidence, which would be in favor of
the trust company. The witness thought
that Mr. Halo had sworn that he had re
ceived an offer of 60 cents on the dollar for
the bonds, when in the paper book it was
shown that Mr. Hale said he did not.
"Did you understand that all "Mr. Hale's
evidence was given in the Hart affidavit?"
"There was enough to satisfy me."
The witness admitted that he had accepted
the evidence in the Hart affidavit as truth,
and If he had read such evidence as Mr.
Flannery read to him he would have thought
that it would need some inquiry before
he would accept it as truth.
"Did you think the good name of these
men connected with the trust company was
entitled to any consideration whatever?"
"I didn't consider that matter at all. I
didn't know who they were."
"Would you consider that a man was In
juring you if he charged you with stealing
$130,000?"
"Not If I stole It— of course it would injure
me — yes."
"Didn't you know that the publication of
that editorial would injure the Minneapolis
Trust company."
"Yes, of course."
The witness explained that the reason he
charged that the company sold the bonds
to Itself was because Mr. Hamblin had se
cured them. The reason he thought the trust
company had made $130,000 by the sale was
because that was a problem in subtraction,
this amount being the difference between 60
cents and 10 cents on the dollar.
Court adjourned until this morning at 10
o'clock.
NORTHWESTERN LUMBERMEN.
They Begin Their Annual Meeting;
at Minneapolis.
The Northwestern Lumbermen's associa
tion opened Its annual meeting at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on the seventh floor of
the Lumber Exchange. President Frudden de
• livered his annual address, in closing which
he said:
"Before we proceed with oV work, I want
THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 189b.
to state right here that great credit is due
our board of directors; they nave been called
upon a number of times during the year and
have responded to every call promptly and
without exception. They put aside their own
business to take up the work of the associa
tion whenever requested to do so."
Secretary Hollis then read his report, be
ing followed by Treasurer Queal.
Th-e only papeT on the programme for to
day was read by B. J. Carney, of Grinnell,
10., who chose for his subject "The Value of
Association in Both Wholesaler and Retailer."
Mr. Carney said: "The first thought which
presents itself to one interested in this sub
ject is the question, what was* the condition
of the lumber trade before the Northwestern
Lumbermen's association was organized, and
what improvement has resulted to the whole
sale and retail trade?
"We know that in the retail trade dealers
figure bills for any one, whether in their
town or in the neighboring country, or In the
next town, without any regard to any other
dealer, and make any price that they thought
would get the business, if they could see $5
per car In it; and sometimes their only
recompense would be the glory of selling the
bill. As a consequence prices were in a
chaotic state all over this country, and the
1 lumber business was almost completely de
moralized."
The programme for today Is as follows:
Retail Lumbermen's Insurance association,
fourth annual meeting— Adress. President D.
R. Ewing; report. Secretary W. G. Hollis;

TRIO OF WEDDINGS.
>!!«« MorrlNon to Mr. Vuiidernllp—
Miss Shipley to Mr. Tipple.
An Interesting society event took place at
; C o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence
of Clinton Morrison, in Twenty-fourth street
i east, when his only daughter. Miss Ethel Mor
' rison, was united in marriage with John Rus
i sell Vanderllp. The betrothal was announced i
j In the early autumn, and, although the wed
; ding was comparatively quiet, owing to the
I death of the bride's grandfather within the
1 year, It was anticipated with much interest
! through the social prominence of the bride's
family. The wedding company of 100 em
braced the relatives and near friends of the
bride and bridegroom. Miss Kate Moulton
was the bride's only attendant. Russell M.
Bennett served as best man for the bride
groom.
A wedding which has been kept very quiet,
although the bride Is widely known, and
highly thought of In a large circle. Is that of
Miss Marie Shipley and Albert B. Tipple,
which took place at 5 o'clock yesterday after, I
noon at the bride's home, 1043 First avenue
north. The ceremony of marriage was per
formed by Rev. Father Keane. of Immaculate
Conception church, ! n the presence of a small
company of relatives and intimate friends.
A wedding that will be learned of with
surprise, through the prominent acquaintance j
of the bridegroom, was quietly celebrated last
evening at the residence of the officiating
clergman. Rev. Matt S. Hughes. Harvey Jay-
Smith and Mlhs Maud Marie Fleming were
the bridal couple. The ceremony of marriage
was performed at 6 o'clock, with a small
circle of relatives as witnesses. The bride
was gowned in a tailor-made dress of blue
cloth and carried a bouquet of white roses
and lilies of the valley. No man has been
better known In local art circles than H
Jay Smith. He was the chief worker In the
palmy days of the exposition, and was instru
mental in forming the successive are collec
tions that greatly increased the fame of the
undertaking, which came to be known as the
' Minneapolis Exposition." He was Identi
fied with many of the principal enterprises
that had art for their center Inspiration
and his part in the World's fair Is well re
membered for the cliff dwellers' exhibit. His
bride is an artis; in miniature painting
Ignatius Donnelly will wed pretty ' Mlsa I
Olive May Hanson on Washington's birthday—
Feb. 22. After the wedding it is announced j
that the couple will enjoy a bridal trip of
more than usual length owing, as the bride
announces, to the fact that she has never
before had an opportunity to see the world '
In which she Is cutting so Important a figure
at the present moment. They will visit Mr
Donnelly's three sisters In Philadelphia and
will dally for a short time at wicked Gotham
It is also possible that they will take a
short turn in the old world, and enjoy a
brief stay in gay Paris. Another fact which
will Interest the general public in this con
nection, is the statement by Miss Hanson
that 1.000 invitations are to be sent out, and
from this it may be concluded that the wed
ding will be one of the big events of the
kind In the history of the Northwest.
STILLWATER NEWS.
Copeland Now In Third Grade at
State Prison.
Samuel L. Copeland is once more secure
behind prison bars, and another name has
been added to the list of the convicts who
have violated their paroles and hiave. been
brought back to serve the full term for which
they were sentenced. With good time de
ducted, Copeland would be eligible to a dis
charge Jan. 4, 1899, but will now be required
to serve until Jan. 16, 1900. He came back
yesterday forenoon In the custody of Deputy
Warden Lemon, who went to Big Springs,
Tex., after Mm, and Copeland showed indica
tions of a tough time since he escaped from
this state. Mr. Lemon exhibited a letter
which told the story of Copeland's appre
hension. The letter was written to the sheriff
at Big Springs by a tramp named Harry Wil
son, who said" that he hud overheard a con
versation between Copeland and another per
son who had come from the Minnesota prison,
in which Copeland, who went by the name
of 'McGrew, told his companion that he had
violated his parole and that a reward had
been offered for his capture. Wilson also
told the sheriff that Copeland had broken Into
the home of a ranger and stolen a large Colt's
revolver, which Copeland Intimated that ht
would use in pursuit of money. Sheriff Eiag
gett watched for him when he arrived at Big
Springs and locked him up for the theft of
the revolver and then notified the prison au
thorities that he had their man. Th-e re
volver was owned by H. K. Fisher, who de
manded its return. Mr. Lemon told Cope
land to give It up, but Copeland denied hav
ing taken It, when Fisher said: "That re
volver is worth $500 to me. It has a peculiar
mark on the handle, showing* that It saved
my life once, and if your prisoner doesn't
give it up I'll blow him higher than hair
on a cat's back." Copeland then admitted
that he had taken It, and told Mr. Lemon
where he could find It. After a long search
he found it beneath a wagon box. To pro
vide against any attempt at escape, Sheriff
Baggett had a deputy stationed in front of the
Jail day and night, who was armed with a
Winchester. Mr. Lemon contemplated stop
ping at a point in the Indian territory with
his prisoner, but having encountered some
tough characters, he concluded to come
through. His only stops were made at Fort
Worth. Texas and Kansas City, and he ar
rived here a day earlier than expected. Cope
land has been placed In the third grade,
whore he will be required to remain a mouth.

CEfISURE TO SPARE
THE IOWA STATE INSTITUTIONS
CRITICISED BY A LEGISLATIVE
INVESTIGATING £OMM(ITTEE.
CENTRAL BOARDj,OF CONTROL
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS AVMAIXV, COULD BE
SAVED BJ IT.
METHODS VERY UNBUSINESSLIKE.
Lax Bookkeeping , a »d »i Eioemtlve
Nnlnri.-K Two of the,EvllM
Brought in I.lklii.
DES MOINES, Jan. 18.— The two
penitentiaries of the state and the asy
lum for deaf and dumb, at Council
Bluffs, receive the bulk of censure in
tho report of the legislative investigat
ing committee submitted to the gen
eral assembly today. All the institu
tions are taken to task for lax book
keeping, and unbusinesslike methods.
The agricultural college at Ames, the
state university at lowa City, the Sol
diers Orphans' home at Davenport, and
the industrial schools at Mitchellville
and El Dora get off easy. Excessive
salaries are found to have been drawn
at Anamosa penitentiary and the gen
eral system is unbusinesslike. Archi
tects bought material without specifi
cations on file, and none was bought
under advertisements for bids. The
committee says the system would not
be tolerated by corporations or indi
viduals. The asylum for deaf and
dumb at Council Bluffs purchased
supplies without reference to market
values or the quality of goods received.
Large quantities of meat were pur
chased from a butcher, who charged
retail prices for wholesale deliveries.
The board of trustees of the agricul
tural college at Ames drew more than
the thirty days' salary allowed by law.
The committee takes a decided stand
for competitive bids for supplies. It
finds that the support fund, intended
for use for keeping Inmates, has been
diverted in almost every institution to
paying salaries and other bills not con
tc-mplated by the statute.
The committee strongly urges the es
tablishment of a state board of con
trol, to include all institutions under
tho government of the commonwealth.
The committee says it believes the
state can save $300,000 annually by tho
establishment of one central board of
ccntrol having administrative and ex
ecutive management of all state insti
tutions with the exception of the edu
cational. Senator Htaly, chairman of
the board, who has written every line
of the 130 type-written pages embraced
in the report, and to whom in a large
ni€asure the credit is due for the dis
closures made, said since the commit
tee had been at work thousands of dol
lars have been turned back Into the
6tate treasury by trustees and other
persons connected with state Institu
tions who have drawn money they
were not entitled to.
There are sixteen institutions gov
erned by thirteen boards who draw
salaries of $33,000 annually. The last
biennial period the cost of the state

SPOILED THE SHOW.
Cherry SUter* Mobbed by Dlnor-
derly lowa StndentM.
IOWA CITY, 10., Jan. 18.— Last night
the Cherry sisters were billed to appear
at the lowa City opera house, and, when
the time came for the show to begin, the
house was packed, more than 1,000 stu
dents from the state university being
present. When the curtain went up
the three sisters came upon the stage
and began to act in their inimitable
manner. All at once the students let
go every conceivable sort, of vegeta
bles, eggs and tinware. The girls re
treated, and the curtain went down.
The manager appealed for order, and
an attempt was made to continue the
show, but, when Effle came forward,
she was Btruck with an egg and fell
half senseless to the floor. The stu
dents rushed for the stage and the
girls fled to their hotel, with 1,000 stu
dents at their heels. 'At the hotel they
were hurried to their rooms. The stu
dents filled the house and came near
breaking in the doors to ih«ir rooms.
The police interfered, but could not
restore order. Finally, the fire depart
ment responded and turned two
streams of water on the young men.
Five of the students were arrested and
locked up.
VILLERS VERDICT.
The Penalty Fixed at Imprisonment
for Life.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Jan. 18.— The
Jury in the Vlllera murder trial was
out seven hours, returning with a ver
dict of guilty of murder In the first de
gree, and sentencing Martin J. Villers
to life Imprisonment in the state peni
tentiary. For a number of ballots the
Jury stood eight to four In favor of
the death penalty, but in view of the
fact that the evidence was wholly cir
cumstantial, a compromise on life Im
prisonment was made. A stay of pro
ceedings to Feb. 1 was granted by
Judge Fisk, and It is probable that the
defense will ask for a new trial. The
verdict meets with general approval.
The prisoner listened to the finding
wholly unmoved.

UNABLE TO ELECT.
lt<-|tul»ll«*HiiH In Maryland Are Ilope
lettMly Divided.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 18.— The first bal
lot in the .Maryland legislature for a succes
sor to Arthur P. Gcrrman. in the United
States senate, was taken today, each branch
balloting separately, with the following re
sult: McComaß, 34; Shaw, 11; Snyrock, 3;
Findlay. 2; Parran, 6; Mulliken, 1; Barber,
6; Urner, 1; Gorman, 43; Lowdnoss, 1; Page,
1. Total, 109. Absent. Republicans, 2; Demo
crats, G. Necessary to choice, 55.
The candidates are Judge Lomis E. Mo-
Comas, of Washington county; MaJ. ACex
Shaw, Gen. Thomee J. Shyrook. ex-Conjrre s- :
man John V. L. Findlay, all of Baltimore
city; Thomas Parran, Col. J. C. Mulliken.
Congressman Isaac A. Berber and Milton G.
Urner.
But one ballot was taken and this leaves
the situation ac much Involved in uncertainty
as It was before the voting began. The pre
liminary skirmishing has been attended with
great bitterness and dissension in the ranks
of the Republicans, who have a considerable
majority in both houses. ,
These dissension* have rendered it impos
sible to bring about a Republican caucus
and there seem to be Mttle probxbility that
this method of settling the dispute will be
resorted to in the near future.
The first break in the Republican ranks
came two weeks ago, when eleven members
of the house of delegates from Baltimore
city, refused to caucus on the epeakership,
and by effecting a coalition with the Demo
crats, elected one of their own number to
that office. Numerous attempts have sLnc3
been made to get the seeeders back iv line,
but they remain firm In their position. With
out at least two of the4r number, the Re
publicans are powerlees to elect any one,
and with th« aid of the Democratic vote, the
"faithful eleven," as they have been nick
named, may at any time elect a man of their
own choosing, or cause a deadlock until the
end of the session. With this possibility in
view the Democrats are using every pos
sible meane to foment the discord.

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.
Southern Cities Will Be Represented
at ImllaiiaiioliN.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 18.— Chairman Han
na, of the executive committee of the mone
tary convention, haß been notified th.it the
chamber of commerce of Little Rock, Ark.,
had reconsidered Its determination not to
send delegates to the convention, and that It
would be fully represented. A number of
other cities In Arkansas have also concluded
to be represented. Memphis— and several oth
er cities in Tennessee will also be represent
ed, and the committee now expects a larger
delegation from the South than was fore
shadowed a few days ago. A comparison of
delegations already selected from important
cities shown that the state of Michigan is
one of the most apathetic In the Union, so
far as appointing delegates is concerned.
While several cities In that state will bo
represented and more delegates will be hnre
than were present at the convention one year
ago, yet many cities in the state have nort
selected delegates and have not shown any
disposition to do so. Advices received by
the committee show that there is no lack of
Interest in the state in the cause of mone
tary reform, but an acquiescent disposition
that Is willing to trust the work to others.
A letter from Prof. Folwell. of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, received today, asked
for fifty copies of the commission's report, to
be used by the senior class.

Chairman BelleveN It tin* tli<» U.-st
Chance wt Being Enacted
Into a I.«h,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.— Secretary
Gage proceeded today with the cur
rency hearing before the house commit
tee on banking and currency. Today's
hearing took a general range, with a
view to developing Mr. Gage's views on
general financial questions and his
Judgment on various matters, including
his own for currency revision. Chair
man Walker, in a series of questions,
sought to show that the guaranty re
quired In the Gage bill and the mone
tary bill on unsecured circulation was
too great, thus imposing an enormous
burden on the banks, far beyond the
losses which experience had shown
would occur. Mr. Gage said that the
safety fund in his bill was placed at
a point which he regarded safe, and,
if found too high, it could be reduced.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild said it was
felt that in a step of this character it
had been deemed best to make the
guaranty too great rather than too lit
tle.
Mr. Gage «tated In this connection
that he saw objections to the plan of
imposing mutual responsibility on all
banks, as proposed in the monetary
commission bill. It would be an un
fortunate requirement, he felt, as it
would operate to keep desirable banks
from entering the system and imposing
on themselves a responsibility for out
side banks. The banker, as a rule, did
not want to be responsible for losses
other than his own. Whether the
guaranty was to be by a 2 per cent
tax on banks, as he provided, or by a
mutual guaranty from all banks, as
the commission provided, or some other
adequate plan, Mr. Gage said he was
willing to concede this detail, so long
as some safe security for the redemp
tion of the bank notes was provided.
WALKER BILJ,.
The committee occi:ped the afternoon
going over the- Walker currency bill.
Chairman Walker sought to show that
of the currency bills pending, his stood
the best chance of passage, that it was
least objectionable, because, while ac
complishing similar results, it did not
flaunt before the minority interests the
direct preamble declaration as to the
gold unit of standard. It would, he
said, absolutely relieve the government
of having anything to do with the cur
rent redemption of money of any na
ture and from keeping anything except
an ordinary exchequer balance as in a
private establishment.
Secretary Gage, referring to the

as to '-fixing the gold standard mop

best to incorporate that declaration
The obligations of the United Suites, hi
said, are payable in coin. There is t
deep dispute as to what that means. Oj
th<- one side of the congress it i« saic
the government can pay in silver; the
other says gold only, otherwise the
government is guilty of bad faith and
dishonesty as to obligations. So long
as there is doubt there will be a con
stant pressure to open the way for the
payments in silver end the contention
was that better assurances of main
taining the gold standard than now
exist should be given the country. So,
the secretary thought, It was the wisest
plan to make the positive and un quivo
cal declaration as to purposes of the
bill. Secretary Gage and ex-Secretary
Fairchild will be before the committee
again tomorrow.
WILL BE PUSHED.
Early Action In Wanted on the
Lod*e mil.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.— The immi
gration bill, which passed th»- senate
yesterday, will be pushed In the house
with a view to securing cany ,-s ■■ •.
Chairman Danford, of the house immi
gration committee, said today that he
would endeavor to have the committee
on rules fix a time .for considering the
bill. The only question is as to wheth
er the measure will be, -urged as it
passed the senate or will take ihe form
of the McCall bill. The latter includes
in the educational test both reading
and writing, while the senate bill, aa
it finally passed that body, limited the
tt-st to reading alone. Representative
W. A. Stone, who has taken an active
part In immigration matters, favors
accepting the senate measure as It
Btands, in order to avoid a protracted
struggle. He, therefore, will move,
when the bill comes over from the sen
ate, that it lie on the speaker's desk
subject to be called up at any time
when th? appropriation bills are out of
the way. Mr Dunford favors this plan
If the committee on rule 3 will give as
surance of a rule bringing the ques
tion to a vote. For the present there
is no purpose to urge the Corliss "birds
of passage" restriction, applyinj/ main
ly to the Canadian border, and **y ac
tion on this branch of the subj A will
be taken independent of the present
bill.
TWO SHORT SESSIONS.
Not Much I'roKreKM Mn«l«* by the
Joint Com! Convention.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.— Two very brief
sisnkns were held by the Joint conven
tion of the bituminous coal operators
and miners today. The scale commit
tee appointed yesterday made but lit
tle progress and pending the receipt
of a report from them the convention
adjourned until tomorrow. Progress in
the scale committee was slow. Every
phase of the situation was thoroughly
discussed. President Ratchfofd, of the
mine workers, advocated, it is said,
the -wet-ding of unskilled labor. The
adoption of the mine run system, it is
thought, is a certainty. Over this mat
ter and the differentials allowed by
the new scale v> be formed, trouble
may occur. The Ohio operators are
putting up a strong fight for the'.r dif
ferentials and declare that they will
procure contracts with their employes
to work on the "lump" basis If their
demands are not acceded to.
