WASHINGTON , Deo. 17 The two events
of Importance In the house this week he-
lore the adjournment for the holiday recess
on Wednesday will bo Iho vote ou the cur-
icncy bill tomorrow Immediately after the
reading of the journal nnd the announce
ment of the committees on Tuesday.
Under the terms of the special order with
ihe currency bill , neither a motion to re
commit nor a substitute , proposition Is In
eider and the vote vvlll be taken directly
upon the paefngc of the hill The result Is
a forcgcne conclusion , an It vvlll command
every republican voto. The Intoiesl in the
vote , therefore , lies only in the record of
democratic disaffection It will show. The
eastern demosrals gcncrallj , with the excep
tion of n few from New York , are not In
line with their democratic brethren from the
fcoulh and west on the money question , but
not nil of them vvlll vote for the bill.
According to a careful canvass made by
Ovcrstrcot , who has been In charge of the
measure , it , will receive eight democratic
votes at least and he believes seven demo
crats vvlll dodge. He figures that the hill
vvlll have n majority ot thirty-five. So far
us can be ascertained no other business vvlll
be transacted hy the hoiise this week.

WASHINGTON , De < ; . 17. M. Routowsky ,
the agent of the ministry of finances of Rus
sia , in Washington , In n communication to
the Associated Press , which has received the
appioval of the Russian ambassador , com
plains of the attempts w'hlch he says were
made In Euiope recently to creatu In this
country the impression that the relations
between the Japanese government and Rus
sia were strained. '
"Immediately after these statements had
been authoritatively denied by the Russiin
ambassador and the Japanese minister heie , "
say M. Routovveky , "other sensational
rumors were started , presumably nt neriin ,
and directed against the credit of the Rus
sian empire. These were follqwed by libels ,
directed ngainxt"tho eminent sUitcamcn to
whdse cnro wcro liitrusted the credits , and an
appeal made to Japan , In an article on Rus
sian flnancee , to-attack that countij before
her Trans-Siberian lallroad could be com
pleted.
M. RoutowBky adds that in view of the
fact that all of the fa'so rumors and misstatements -
statements , If not opposed , might leive
among capitalists and financiers In this
country an erroneous Impression , ho ha
decided to give to the press borne flgurea
on the subject. The figures show that dur
ing the twelve jcars from 1R87 to 1SOS , the
ordinary revenues of the Russian govoin-
menl btcadlly Increased from 820,000,000
roubkh in 1887 to 1,584,000,000 roubles In
IS'JS , nnd that dilrlng the whole of that time ,
with the exception of two years (1887 ( and
1891) ) , the expenbes were considerably less
than the receipts , this eurplus for the twelve
years amounting to 700,000,000 roubles , For
the same twelve jears the extraordinary
revenues nnd expenses of the government
ninko the total for the former 1,120,000-
000 , nnd of the latter 2,075,000,000. The Items
In the extraordinary revenue are shown to
have been :
Loans , 911,000,000 roubles , reimbursements
of debts to the government of private rail
roads , 111,000,000 roubles , all other , 74,000-
000 roubles.
The Items of the pxtraordlnary expenses
during the game period were the purchase
J of high-fate bonds uhd payment of various
debts , 1,035,000,000 roubliH. Construction ot
new Blato railroads , including Trans-Slbe-
llau , road fir > H,000,000 roubles. Relief of the
distressed population during famine of 1801 ,
161,000,000 roubles. Increase of capital ot
Imperial State bnnlc , 13,000,000 roubles ; warships -
ships , 90,000,000 lou'bles ; all other , 93,000,000.
On January 1 , 1887 , the national debt was
1,357,000,000 roubles nnd December 31 , 1898 ,
It was 6,109,000,000 roubles. This Increase ,
It IB stated , was duo partly to the refunding-
of hlgh-nilo loans Into bonds at a low rate ,
but principally to the purchase of many rail
roads by tbe government , which .are earn
ing * largo returns'on the money Invested.
The deposits of the people in tbu savings
banks on January 1 , 1887 , are hewn to have
amounted to 44,000,000 roubles , while on

ST. PAUL , Minn Dec. 17. Kov Dr a.
0. Smith of the People's church , TV hose nr-
gumonta against women vvase-oarners have
attracted eo much nttcntlort all over the
country , tonight presented his solution , ot
Iho Irouhlc. Dr. Smith snlil
, "In all th ? cloud ) ' vituperation In regard
j tu my icccnt utterances OK the question of
I wtman In labor not n single fact has boun
to IIP false , or n single argument
i i > ro\iil unsound. My statlntlts were tnknn
'fiom ' the very latest ofllclnl report ? . The
nv , fill condition remains unchanged The
decrease of child labor \\ati \ \ been paralleled
i by the Increase In the labor of girls between -
twoon 14 and 18 years of ngc , which Is
falacly called woman labor. The conditions
of former times , when women did weaving
and the like ut home , were tondltlotiH of
HoVcre labor , but at any into these women
i pioduced for themselves nnd their families
land under wholesome naultaiy and moral
I trndltlonc. But It la not enough to show
I that the world Is better ofl than It was
i formerly ; It Is Incumbent on ray critics to
'
show that It Is na well off as It may be.
" 1 am an optimist , but not ono who bo-
llcvcs that all things mo 60 good that It Is
no use trjlng to rna1e : them better. Progress
Is not blind and now , more than ever , the
evolution of the race should be guided by
Intelligent foieelght 1 nm not under obli
gations to point out u icmedy , because I
disclose n wrong. Hut I have suggestions to
make. Four states forbid women to work
In mines The law should be extended to
about 100 of their present occupations which
are too se/ero and too unhealthy. Then till
girls under IS > enrs should bo forbidden to
bo cmplojed in commercial and Industrial
pursuits These measures should cut down
woman labor one-halt Then a mo\ement
largely social and moral , but also by women
organizing , should be made effective to ghe
women who do equal work with men tho.
snmo vvagt > . Thus the family standard of
wages would supplant the individual
standatd. The \arlous assaults upon the
family must be resisted , for It Is the social
unit. The madonna with her own child In
hw "arms must not bo dethroned to make
loom for the public womah.
"Divorce In thla country Is Increasing
two and a half times as fast ns the popula
tion. It parallels the Industrial Invasion
of women In twenty jcars divorces have
doubled In the state of Ohio , while mar-
ilagea actually decreased. Mot eveiy move
ment In society is either safe or final. No
civilization has any assurance of perpetuity.
That depends on Its virtue and Its intelli
gence When the Oreeks choae Aspaela ,
the female philosopher , as their hciolno
lather than Penelope , the virtuous wife , it
was not the dethronement of Penelope alone ,
but the doom of Greece. '
YOUNG ASKS FOR DAMAGES

NEW YORK , Dec. 17. An action h.is been
commenced in the supreme court by William
Cuclld Young against the Now York Stock
exchange , through Its president , In which
the plaintiff demands an Injunction le-
strnlnlng the defendant from excluding him
from the privileges of membership , nnd also
damages in the sum of $ .200,000 on account
of the pecuniary loss nnd injury to his repu
tation by reason of the action ot the Board
of Governors of the exchange In expelling
him on December 30 , 18 % .
Young was a member of the exchange for
nearly thirty years , having joined It in 1869.
Prloi to December 2. 18.1G , lie was the stock
exchange representative of the firm of E.
B. Cuthbert & Co. About a week later , on
December 30 , after a trial before the Board
of Governors , he was convicted of having
participated in an irregular transaction and
expelled. Ho protested against the action
of the Board of Governois nnd endeavored
to haveIt reversed , but without success.
EXCITES THE LAND BOOMERS

CHICAGO , Dec. 17. A special to the
Chronicle fiom Perry , O. T. , says
The introduction by Senator Chliton of
Texas of a bill to open the Ktowa , Comanche -
mancho nnd Apache Indian renervatlons
has caused excitement among the land
boomers. For the last year homeseekers
and others have been camping near these
lands waiting for the opening horn to roll
around. The announcement that this coun
try may bo opened soon has encouraged these
land seekers ,
Another reason for the unusual activity
Is the fact that the Wichita mountains ,
which pass through these Indian reserva
tions , are reported to be rich with gold.
The country is well adapted to the grow
ing ot wheat , rje , corn , cotton and stock
raising. It is understood that the cattle
men , who have a considerable portion of
these lands leased for grazing cattle , will
fight Senator c'hllton's bill.

A statistician has proved that the inven

to 500,000 people , but ho falls to state how
many cases of weak stomachs nnd dyspep
sia It has induced. All people of sedentary
occupations need Hosteller's Stomnsh Bit
ters. It helps nature to bear the strain
which ensues from confinement and it Is a
wonderful medicine. No one leallzes this
more keenly than the man or woman who
has been cured of stomach trouble by Its use.

There wan a slight increase noted in the
attendance at the Omaha churches jester-
day , due to the Impression that Revs.
Mackay and Herring might discuss their
recent experience In Judge Scott's , court.
Both clergymen , however , were cautious of
exposing themselves to any further allega
tion of contempt. Rev. Herring , at the
First Congregational church , made no refer
ence whatever to events of the week , al
though his subject was : "Christ and iSt
Peter , " the Identical theme which Judge
Scott took for hie philippic against "Hypoc
risy within the Palo of the Church. "
Rev. Mackay , from the pulpit ot the All
Saints' chui"h , made a guarded remark In
his -morning discourse regarding the Justice
nnd impartially ot the heavenly tribune
compared with the imperfections of earthly
courts. Further than this he did not refer
to his experience as a defendant befoie the
bar of justice.
In the "Church and Home , " the parish pa
per published by Rev. Mackay , the matter 13
treated more fully , and an attempt is made
to handle it In a humoious vein. Two edi
torial paragraphs alluding to the matter are
as follows'
" 'To the law and to the prophets' was
the cry of the Jews of old , .but we prefer
the prophets by themselves"
"How can a man be said to be living
under a free government while he is under
the 'majesty of the law ? ' "
In the. news columns of the paper the fol
lowing account is given-
"The rector of All Saints' knows more
about the law now than he did two weeks
ago. He wrote a letter to n judge of the
district court which wn. = signed by Rev.
Herring of the First Congregational chinch
and W. P Harford as members of the ex
ecutive board of the Nebraska Chlldien's
Home society of this city. The letter was
written In good faith , hoping it would cnuno
the judge to examine personally into the
merits of a case then pending In his court
and without .1 thought that there was any
thing wrong In so doing. It was an nppcal
to the higher nature of n man supposed td
have the Inlorc.sts of the young wards of
the state at heart , but , as the Judge him
self remarked , we did not know him Wo
were found guilty of contempt of court ,
whatever that may mean , and fined the
rector of All Saints' $200 because he ad
mitted that ho was the principal offender ,
nnd Dr Herring and Mr. Hnrford 1100 each ,
Thu case was appealed to the supreme court

There- have been no developments todav
and the clearlnr house committee dirt not
meet last night as expected. It Is still 'he
subject of much discussion that the clear

Bioadway bank , as It did for the Globe
bank earlier in the week and this feature
of the failure is likely to continue upper
most In mind until the situation Is made
more clear.
The work accomplished today was in the
way of tabulating assets , and while much
remains to fill out the official papert , It
is anticipated that a detailed report to thn
comptroller will be forwarded late tomor-
10W.
10W.Mr. . Wing will continue to accept pajments
on notes becoming due , but will not pay out
nil } bank funds. Evorj thing , apparently ,
depends upon what Action Comptroller

The bank will remain tied up until n per
manent receiver is appointed Something
definite is looked for on Tuesday.

Never before In the history of the Baldwin
Locomotive works rcjiorle the Philadelphia
Ledger , has it turned out an largo n prod
uct as It Is doing todav , and never has It
employed so man > men. In October , in
twenty-nix woiking dajs , HO locomotives
were completely built , nn average of four
per day In November , with twenty-five
working days , ! )2 ) locomotives were built and
shipped. No othei like establishment in
the world lias ever approximated that
achievement.
In comparing the work done with the rec
ord of former years.lt must be berne In mliul
that the locomotives of today are vciy much
heavier nnd larger than those turned out
but a few jears ago. No railroad company
now orders for Ho main lines , either for
freight or passenger service , a 40-ton or 50-
ton engine , such as were common ten years
ago ; but the etandard nlzes now are from
90 to 120 tons.
The Urgcst output of engines for any year
prior to 18'J9. was In IR90 , when the Bald
win works turned out 916 locomotlvei , or an
average of 78 per month. That was In the
days of small engines. Since then the demand -
mand ha * been falling off , the lafct good year
being IS'JS. From that time until 1818 the
business' was paralyzed , the railroads orderIng -
Ing about half , ast inuny ns wore require J to
keep up the ordinary wear and tear. The
sudden revival of business during the last
year has compejlcd the roads to replace
the wom out engines and the dom.ind Is for
the latest type and the liunest capacity.

two electric cranes were put Into the erect

with 300 men One man now , by lifting

at once pick up H smokestack or other heavy
part nnd bet It In Itn place , the entire move
ment beliiE undei the direction ot one will ,
the whole thing being done befoio ho could
have assembled his men under the former
method. In the boring building the Intro
duction of motors to operate the lathes also
nindu It possible to use electric cranes , a
these could not have been used in conjunc
tion with the old-tlmo shafting. It is Inter
esting to note that the Introduction of these
labor-raving machines was a distinct ad
vantage to the wolkmcn , who now turn out
more work and get better pay for It than
before.
From present indications tho'year 10CC
will witness the greatest buslne s In loco
motive building jet seen , not only In num
bers , but vciy much moro In tonnage , as
the average weight of engines built today
Is 65 per cent greater than the average of
ten jears ago.
