The purj.oso of section 9 , providing that
Issues of national bank notes shall 'bo ' In
denominations above | 10 , was to give the
government the monopoly on small bills In
most common use.
When section 10 , providing for the redemp
tion ot bank notes at the New York EUD-
treasury and other designated points , was
reached Mr. 'Cox asked Mr. Oago why ha
did not specify that the redemption should
too In gold or other legal money. The secre
tary answered that less discretionary power
Imposed on an executive olllcor In the execu
tion of a principle the bettor for sometimes
executive officers might hava Indiscretion and
do foolish thlnsa , IMorosvor , this discretion
existed now.
When the remainder of the bill had been
read a general discussion began. In answer
to a cross lire of questions Mr. Gage said the
bill cnuld not result In a raid on the treas
ury by hank notes. It was not the substitu
tion of an "endless chain" of greenbacks for
anrthcr "endless chain" of bank notes. The
banks would Imve to redeem their own notes
and It would ho their object to do so or
they would bo closed. Hut ao long aa a
dollar ot demand obligations was outstand
ing so long this "endless chain" would p.o on.
He BRld : "This bill la simply a steir In the
right direction and a moat Important step.
It would give tlie Kovernment $325 000,000
of the very liabilities which arc most likely
tn bo brought against It. Of this $125,000,000
Is In gold. Then , with the further measure
recommendoi by the president , giving au
thority for a loan up to $100 000 000 when re
quired , the government would bo so strong
In tlmo of emergency aa to resist any iitresj.
Faith would be established and people would
not CCIDP to the treasury for lack of faith ,
but only from necessity. "

This brought on an Intcrcatlng and amus

might bo passed by congress , and 1900 , when

power , could the country go to a silver
basis ? "
Mr. Gage's answer brought another round
of laughter and applause. "In view of the
absolute certainty of a presidential veto , "
said he , "I think wo could pull through. "
This closed Mr. Gage's hearing and he was
given a vote of thanks. Several members
sought to have another hearing during the
holidays , but there was strenuous objection
to this und the original plan was adhered to
of adjourning until January 12 , when the
Gagu bill , the monetary conference bill and
other financial measures will bo taken up.

" ' Ihr n Ilnrrcl on
i Uecr
WASHINGTON , Dec. 17. A spirited debate
was precipitated In the senate today by the
submission by ' .Mr. Platt , republican of Con
necticut , of the report of the special Joint
committee of the senate and house appointed
to Investigate the use ot alcohol hi the arts.
It developed that a wide divergence of opin
ion exists among senators as to the practica
bility , from the point ot view of government
revenue , of reducing the present tax upon
alcohol used In the arts.
'Sir. Hour , republican of iMa&sachusotts , who
favors sucli a reduction , expressed the opin
ion that If congress would lay aside political
consideration and deal with the llinior ques
tion courageously and honestly by the 1m-
pcsttlon of an additional tax of $1 a barrel
on 'beer ' the question of the government's
revenue Tvould take care of Itself.
i\lr. Vest , democrat of Missouri , strenuously
opposed any additional tax on beer.
iA joint resolution accepting the Invitation
of Norway to participate In nu International
llshcrlcs exposition next year was passed.
Under a special order 133 private pension
bills were passed.
At the suggestion of Mr. 'JIawlor ' , chairman
ot the military affairs committee , the bill
which passed the house for the relict of
miners In the Klondike region was taken up
at ouco. The senate bill was substituted for
that of the house and a conference ordered
with Messis. Hawley , Carter and Cockrell ,
conferees.
During the day Mr. Stewart , "populist ot
Nevada , rose to a question of personal priv
ilege to reply to a charge which ho said had
been made against him by Mr. Chandler , a
charge 'which ' ho characterized as a very
grave one. Ho referred to the assertion of
the Now Hampshire statesman that lie
( Stewart ) had misrepresented the attitude of
the administration on the financial question.
Ho had extracts read from the statement of
Secretary Gage before the house committee
on banking and currency to show that the
administration was committed to the gold
standard. Ho contended that this statement
fully confirmed all ho had said and further
; hat It manifested a determination to place
; he control of the currency In the hands of
the backs , giving them all the .advantages
and exacting from them no security.
ALLISON O.VLLS FOR PEACE.
After 'tho debate on alcohol used in arts
had run some time Mr. Allison deprecated
any attempt to raise the question at pros-
eat. Ho said It was not pertinent and -that
It had not befen made clear that alcohol
used In th'o a ts could bo exempted from
taxation. Ho ( added tha > t the Interests of
American manufacturers using alcohol had
been carefully ! guarded otherwise in the new
tariff law. He thought , also , that recent
events "aafl , gone to show that the $1.10 tax
on alcohol i couVd t > a collected and expressed
the hope that an earnest effort In that di
rection would l o made.
Mr. Plait ; expressed regret that upon the
presentation of , the report a desultory dis
cussion should have sprung up. He sug
gested that after the committee's report
iiad been submitted the senators peruse It
carefully.
IJIlls providing for the erection of a pub
lic building a 'Tacoma , Wash. , and appro
priating ? 230'QdiJ' fqr that purpose and pro

Ono ot the pension bills passed granted a
pension ot $50 a month to Casslus M , Clay ,
sr. , of Kentucky , a major general In the
United States army during the war of the
rebellion.
Mr. Turple then presented the regular
order ot business , the consideration of reso
lutions on the death of Kepreisentatlv-e Holl-
man of Indiana. Eloquent eulogies were
made iby Mr. Faitbanks of Indiana , Mr. Mills
of Texas , Mr. Cockrell of Missouri , Mr. Fryo
of Maine and Mr. Turple of Indiana. The
resolutions of condolence were passed and
as a further mark of respect the senate at
4:25 : p. m. adjourned until tomorrow.
CANADA ASICS MOIIE CONCESSIONS.
Itecciit Conference on Sciilliifr Qncn-
Hoii Devoid nf 'Heniiltx. '
WASHINGTON , Bee. 17. The correspond
ence which ba6 passed between 'Sir Wilfrid
Uaurler , the 'Canadian ' premier , and John W.
Foster , the American commissioner , touching
on the seal negotiations since the Washing
ton conference last month has just been
made public. It consists of two letters.
In the first , dated at Ottawa , November 21 ,
Sir Wilfrid Laurler passes upon the proposi
tion from our government which was taken
bade to Canada by him at the -conclusion ot
the conference. He says ho is willing to
enter at once upon a. review of the whole
soai question , though the Paris award was
made rovlsablo only at the end of five years ,
provided the other questions of Importance
to the two countries Immigration , reci
procity , fish protection , etc. bo considered
at the same time.
He declines , however , to suspend sealing
meantime on the ground that the fleet would
be dissipated entirely , that the owners of
vessels would bo entitled to compensation be
yond the disposition of Parliament to votoj
and , finally , that as shown by the experts
there is no tendency to await equilibrium In
the maintenance ot the seal herd.
i siigpests that If n joint commission to
nil ntipsUnns at Issue. Ir.cllldlnc this.
bo at once appointed It will be possible to
secure the necessary legislation from Parlia
ment at the February session , and from con
gress during the present session , to secure
the consideration of any recommendation re
garding 'Bering ' sea next bcanon.
The second letter Is from Mr. Foster to
Sir Wilfrid , dated at Washington , Decem
ber 2. Mr. Foster refers to Sir Wilfrid's
declination of hla proposition , and a re
newal of the Canadian proposition mido at
the conference , and eays the president de
clines to reverse his position on that point.
Should the nerd reach the equilibrium
pointed out , by Sir Wilfrid It will have
passed tlio 'period when negotiations will
be of any ) avail. Besides , as the United
States will J)8'put to the expense of $150,000
to malnte\n , \ tlio patrol next year , pelagic
sealing ought . .to be voluntarily given up
because ) It'AsMinnelsliborly and Inhuman.
* General 'Foster expresses regret that Sir
Wilfrid's yfsjt'to Washington gives so lit
tle nrorolsojpf ( Satisfactory results , but cn-
tertiliifS tlio Jjopo that It may yet bear
good fruit ;

WASHINGTON , Dec. 17. The house to

to civil service. By agreement debate on
this latter paragraph will go over until
after the hollttajs. Two amendments .were
adopted. The bill as reported abolished the
assay office at Dead wood , S. D. , and the

Th ? house refused to accept the senate
amendment to the bill for the relief of the

WASHINGTON , Dec. 17. It has developed
that the bill relating to pelagic scaling ,
wh'lch ' has Just passed both branches of con
gress and Is before the president , contains
a provision of far-reaching Importance , which
has thus far escaped attention. Thie places
an absolute prohibition on the further bring
ing 01 ! sealskins into the United States from
any source whatever. As the United States
Is the largest market In the world for seal
skins this complete stoppage of tradeIn this
country will be a severe measure against
the British and Canadian Industries , which
take and euro thefaklns and then dispose of
them largely In the United States.

ployed on the machine with the exception
of Ilallcy managed to get out of harm's way ,
Ualley was standing on the derrick several

The Injunction suit wherein Councilman
A. It. Kelly seeks to enjoin City Treasurer
Uroad-well from cashing the warrants drawn
to pay I'oier Lonagh for removing garbage
has been on call during the week In the dis
trict court and may possibly bo taken up
today. The answer ot Treasurer Uroadvvcll
was only filed yesterday.
At a meeting of the council held August
9 last ithe atim of $700 was allowed Lenagh
out of "tho general fund for the removal of
garbage. Prior to this meeting the cost of
removing garbage had been 'taxed ' up against
the property , but at this meeting the city
attorney gave It as hh opinion that such
action \\as Illegal and a majority of the
councllmen voted to pay Lonagh out of the
city treasury. Councilman Kelly con
tended that this action on the pare of his
colleagues 'was ' Illegal nnd ho secured an
order of the court restraining the city treaa-
urer from paying 'tho ' warrants.
In hla answer Treasurer Hroadwcll denies
nearly all of the allegations In the petition
filed bj Kelly , hut he does assert that the
city has no right to assess the cost of re
moving garbage up against property. Ho
further holds tha > t the garbage master must
look to the owner or occupant of the prom
ises for his pay and 'this ' Is just what Coun
cilman Kelly contends. In eider to justify
the acts of the council Droadnoll allenes
'that ' the city was In a dangerous sanitary
condition last summer when this work wca
performed and tha't It was Imperative for
the health of the citizens that such refuse
ibo removed , The warrants In question are
now held by Omaha speculators and would
not , In the ordinary course of business , ba
presented to the trcausrer for payment for
some months to come.

Notice has been received hero to the ef
fect that the postofllcc will bo raised to the
grade of a first class ofllco at the commcnce-
mrnt of the government's fiscal year July 1
next. Some years ago , during the boom here ,
the postollico was one of the first class , but
the receipts fell off so that It was given a
different rating by the department. In order
for a poatofllce to bo In the first class thu
receipts from stamps andi box rents must
amount to ? 40,000 a year. During the pres
ent jear business at this'point has Improved
so much that the new rating will bo made
necessary. Postmasters of the first class re
ceive a salary of $3,000 a year. For quite a
time the salary of Postmaster Mc'Mlllan was
t2,700 a year , but on account of the largo
Increase In ( business It was raised some
months ago to $2,800. With the addition ot
another packing house at this point the
amount of mall handled will show a steady
ii.crease and It Is thought that the olllco will
conn be doing as much 'business ' as was done
hero during boom days. Postmaster McMil
lan Is now engaged In filling out the blanks
to bo sent to the Postolflce department which
will show the receipts during every quarter
of the present year. When completed the
total will show cash receipts amounting to
over $40,000.
The holiday Tnisiness at the 'postcfllce ' Is
the heaviest In years , In fact It Is not be
lieved that there ever was a tlmo In the
history of the office when so many money
orders and packages were being sent and re
ceived.

Ixist evening at lloyd's theater the NonllcA
Concert company gave a performance that
will ho remembered by these who heard It is
one of the great events In their musical ex
perience , Music is an art that Is to bo en
joyed In proportion to Its excellence and Us
excellence depends upon both the music It
self and Its rendering. When one caa hear a
flue program really Intciinetcd he Is experi
encing a rare treat. Much music la pro
gramed but very llttlo Is ever Interpreted.
There Is an Inner soul to all compositions of
the first order that compose feel , but only
the greatest artists are ever able to cxpicsn.
To the true musician a composition Is much
more thaii a series ot sounds ; It Is nci expres
sion of thought , of feeling. The ginat nrtlst
appreciates thla and embodies It In his iutnr-
pielation. The listener appiehcnils Its ores-
once , hut Is often unaware of Its nature or
cause.
Mine. Nordlco. has revealed the soul ot
music. She has , by her wonderful voice , her
exquisite tccnlque , her profound musician
ship , touched chords long untuned to aiaturo's
harmonies. She has told thoao who heard
her that there Is something more In music
thin a melody or a successlou of harmonics.
livcryona came to the concert last evenIng -
Ing because Mine. Nordlcais to sing.
Everyone came with an Idea ILat the wliola
program wns of the Nordlca order nnd waste
to bo judged by her standard. It would bo
Impo-wlblo to form a company In which all
the artists wcro her equal ; they are not to
be had. There Is ono Nordlca and only
one.

MUs Preston possesses a remarkable too
contralto voice. It 1's full and rich and cap
able ot a great variety ot expression. She
sang the aria from "Samson and Delilah"
In good taste , although she did not catch the
spirit ot the jart as It b icvcalcd In the
opera. Delilah Is not nearly so sweet and
kind a person as Miss Preston woultl have
her. She 'Is a fiend , plotting the ruin ot a
nation's hero and , alone , telling ns to her
self , the evil she propcoas to do.
Sir. Williams Is the possessor of a re
markably melodious baritone voice. Ho
sings with case acid a consciousness of the
character of his telectlon. Ho lacks In
tensity. Ho does not sing to convince , butte
to please , and forgets thit no ono ever
pleased who did not convince , even against
tiio 'will ' of him who .listens.
