tugs and coasting steamers all along the
northern coast have kept n sharp lookout ,

days and the Columbia with n cargo of
lumber , sailed from Port Dakely thirteen

fourteen ali sixteen days arc of frequent
occurrence and but for the storm which the
vessels must hove encountered no fear
would be felt for their safety.
From reports received to date i Is posI-

WASHINGTON , Dec. n.-Speaker Crisp
all his associates on tile hole committee I
on rules determined today on I special rule ,
by which Secretary Carlisle's hut for cur- I
rency reform will be tebntt ant , 'olel on In I
the house. The original purpose of securing
a vole before the holidays was given up. In-
stead of that It was arranged that the general -
oral debate hould begin tomorrow ant can-
tua to the recess at the end at this week
When congress reassembles on January 3 , the
currency debate will be resumed , the 4lh and
5th being given 10 debate under the ( five-nun-
ute rule. The vote wilt probably be taken
on Monday , January 7. I would be fixed for
the 8lh. It lhat were not "Jacleson day , " when
many members expect lo be absent at the cel-
ebrt n ! . Instead of carrying the vole over
to Monday noon , It may be' determine' ' to
take It Saturday night. Speaker Crisp wIll
determine the exact time on the special rules
In accordance with the toregong : and I Will
ho submitted by him to the rules commlltee
tomorro' . I will make no provisIon for
morning or night sessIon This general pro-
gr.sni for the debate was arranged after
numerous conferences today. Chairman
SprInger ot the banking cOlmltee had hoped
lo get I vote next Friday , but the sentiment
of the house was against this rapd : progress.
Mr. Crisp called In RepresentatIve Johnson ot
Indiana and Walker ot Massachusetts .
Intlana Waller Massachusets. re-
publcan members of the banking committee ,
to get thEir views at the length of the debate.
Mr. Johnson urged that len days be given ,
brlnslns the vote 01 .Janunrv , la . Mr , \"II.r ,
did iol want any exact - time ; t limit fixed ' at the '
ouhel. The debate will begin tomorrow , Mr.
Sprnger ; opening for the bill and Mr. Walker
against it. Mr. Hal of MissourI and Mr.
Johnson or Indiana will probably follow. The
special rule wi he agreed on In committee
tounorrous' , but muy not be presented to the
house until later In the wele.
The majorIty report of the house counnuit-
lee on bankIng and currency favorable to
Secretary Carlisle's plan at currency was today
presented to the house by Chairman Springer
with the recommendation that the b:1 : pass.
The committee after
commltee , afer explaining the results
at a possible ' crisis In which all national banks
would fall and showing how there would be
abundant resourCES for the redemption ot the
circulating notes , says : "Your conunilee
Is of the opinIon that It the proposed bill
should become a law It wi provide for a
safe. tufclent all flexible currency. Such .
flexibility as required by the conditions at
trade and commerce Is now absolutely want-
lug. As the outstanding notes will bo taxed
one half ot 1 per cent per annum , and as the ,
banks taking them will be deprived at 30 per : :
cent thereof In legal ) tendEr noles. there wIll
- wi
I an Inducement to retro the circulation
when It Is not needed and at the same time
on Inducement , to take out circulation when
busIness conditions require it. "
MINORITY REPORT.
The mlnorty members at the banking and
currency committee severely crltclse the
Carlisle bill. They say : "The wl.ole aclon
or the party majority ot the committee was
most extraordinary and nol approved by Its
Yotng , majority. Secretary Carlisle read a
part at the bi on the first- day or his ad-
dress to the committee , saying , he hal nol
finished . dIctating It and would bring I
when he finished his address to the committee -
tee on the following day which ho did. I
was not again read or In any manner considered -
sldored In committee and an opportunity
to consider or amend It was refused to all
members , democrats and republicans alike.
On Sall'rday afternoon , Imedlatoly before
the close at the examlnaUon ot Mr. Sl. John
ot New York , 1 melon was made lo close
the hearing all go Into executive 'session.
Upon the attempt at a number at the minority -
nority to talc up the bill for consideration ,
they were Informed by the committee chair-
man , Mr. Springer , that the democratic ma-
joriy hal concluded not to allow any
amendment whatever but to report I to the
house on Monday , and that each member
could offer any amendments he chose In the
house. 1Is the opinion at a number at the
most clear-headed and eminent financiers
In the country that If the Carlisle bill was
at the statutes or whether the supreme court
would precipitate a panic far more severe
than that of 1893. as It would compel the
forced sale upon the market at nearly $200.-
000,000 at United States bonds within sIx
months.
"Section 1 repeals all acts and parts at acts
which requIre or authorIze the deposit at
United States bonds lo secure circulating
notes , elc. . Instead at so much at all acts
and parts at acts , elc.
"Bow many thousands lay be serIously
Injured by such needless , wholesale repeal
enacted Into law , within twenty lays I
after years at litigation mIght ! y eonslruc-
ton re-enact some parts at such statutes
which Secretary Carlisle had repealed , no
one can tell.
INDEFINITE PROVISIONS.
"Section 5 provides that each association
hereafter organized and each association ap-
piylng for additional circulation shall pay Its
pro rata share Into the said fund betor
receiving notes wtholt ! defning how the
total fund or each share shnl I ascertained.
In the same paragraph Il Is provided that
when a national banking association becomes
Insolvent Us guaranty fund held 0/ deposit
shah be transferrel to the safety fund herein
provided for and applied to the redemption
or its outstanding notes ; that Is to say , It Is
merged In the safety fund. And agaIn , there
Is no provision In the bill for the use of the
safely fund except by application In the
lines quoted. The same paragraph provides
that In case the said last mentioned fund
( safety fund ) shall nt any time ! e Impaired
by the redemption or the notes of failed nu-
tonal banks a 11 the Immediately available
assets at said bank are not sufficient to reImburse -
burse I , the said fund shah be at \nco restored -
stored by lire rata assessments upon all the
other associations , , gncl all time associations so '
assessed allah have a first len upon the
assets of each failed anIe for the amount
properly chargeable lo such bank : on account
of the redemption ot Its circulation ; and
these arc all the provisions In the bill show-
lug how any one Is lo proceed and without
defining who shah proceed with I , or as to
how the notes at failed banks shal he roe
deemed. That is . on the face or the Carlisle
bill , when a banle fails , its guaranty fund Is
to bo paid into the safely fund Then the
notes at the failed banle are to bo pall out
at the safety fund ; then oil at hue national
banks In the country are to be asses ell to
muko up the safety fund ant then all at the I
national banks at tile country are to Ilut In
theIr calms ! lo tile receivers at the failed '
faied
bank for the 10neys they have pall on
asessment for the payment ot the notes at
the fald bank. Probably Mr" Carlisle In- ;
tended to pro\hl that the guaranty fund of
the failed bank shoull bo first expended
In taking up the currency notes at the failed I
bank , and that whatever additional sum was I
necessary should be taken out at the safety
fund to complete their redemption , and lho
safety fund should be replenished out at the :
assets or the bank , and I there \1 a ulefi .
clency In the assets at the falell : bank which I
was made up out ot the safety fund , that
all at the banks shoul be assessed 10 make m
good the safety fund.
LEGISLATION ShOULD DE PEI1MISSIVE
"Whatever legislation II had with reference -
enca to the finances of the country or bankIng -
log In its effect upon natIonal banks should I
be permissIve and not mandalory II to na
Lionel banks wblo : their present cbarter m
coultinue. To provide . D ID section 7 , 'thai I

making I total or 1 , pr cent per qnnum ,
which would ho a taxation ot $ , OOOOOO upon
the banks under the national system , which
there Is no reason lo believe from uny cx-
perlencl at the past would be Imposel upon
them under any stnte s'lem.
"I'urthermore the states would be tar more
liberal than the Unlh States will ever be
or ought to be as regards bonds or any other
securlly or redemption fund , for they may
relulre the deposit of no bonds whalever. \1
elnot believe It was the intention at the
framers of lie Carlisle bill to make the con
Illtons cinder which the nnlonal banks should
Issue currency any mare onerous than those
imposed or likely to be imposed upon state
banlls , or that It was the Inlenton or Mr.
Carlisle or at those who now ' enthuslaslcaly
support the Carlsle It , or who wIll vote for
I In congress , to force tM national bank to
operate under stale charters , amI yet such

suIted : McBride 1.162 ; Gompers , 037.
There was no excitement regnrdlng the

start that the question had been settled so
far as the Inllvidlal members were con-
corned . Mr. Gompers was nomlnalell by Mr.
ElckhoI and time nomination was seconded
by Messrs. Cohen , Daily and McCraitiu. McBride -
Bride was nominated by Mr. Penna and
anl
seconded by Mr. Allen . The vde proceeded
without incident . except that several dele-
gales announced that they would vole against

"SAMUEL GOMPERS. "
Mr. Gompers who Is turned down by this
v ote . Is a member at the Cigar Makers union
and has hell the position of president at the
American Federation ot Labor since 1882.
From then unt1 ! 1886 there was no salary
attached t : the office. That year I was de-
cded to make the ofce a permanent one
and the salary was fixed at $1,20. ThIs
was raised to $1,800 In 1892. The first vice
president at the federation was nchard
Powers , elected In 1880 : the second was J 11
Jarrett , elected In 1881. The defeat of Mr.
Campers sems to be duo lo a general desire
for a change ot adnulnistratin . The mine
" .orleers , with 320 votes were for McBride
for pers"nal reasons ; time .al'caly socialistIc
members felt that Gompers . was very strongly
opposed to them and the president's own
actcn during this convention hall done mich
to defeat him. lie was ill when he came
hare and his rulings have been noticeably
arbitrary and - errat'c. More than ence he
has lost his temper ant occasionally ho has
rOl'ersEI his own rulIngs . The feeling gen-
eraly Is friendly to Gompers , but the elec-
ton or McBride Is regarded as a good choice.
