to A nitver ImU.
M. * GIIRO smilingly remarked tint ho did
net sec < io situation In that light. Ho ap
prehended no such emergency. Mr. OARO In-
tlrm ted In responna to Inquiries ot Mr.
1'rlii'o that i hcre were $930,000,000 of de
mand obligation outstanding Technically
the entire$930,000,000 wen subject to demand
at any time , and tnurt bo met with gold If
thla vva required. Therefore It was practi
cally lmpo lble. ho urged , that all these
obligation should bo presented nt coo time ,
or even a sm > ill percentage of them.
Mr. Prlrro polntol out that $730,000,000 of
demand obligation * would continue outstand
ing aflrr the withdrawal of $200000000
under 10 Rage Ull. Hcsldeo this amount
outs ending ( hero \vcu1d \ bo a new Issue of
natlual bank notes unJcr the secretary's
4)111 raising the total demtiul obligations
of the government to $1,230,000,000 , all
pujcblo In gold. Mr. Oago responded that
the national bank notes would not constitute
AA ordinary demand obligation apalnst ( lie
grvcn'inipt , as the government would bo
obllgAtod only ln > caeo of thn general collapse -
lapse of Iho bankn anj a disappearance of
tiielr securities , which was not apprehended
TENET OP BANKING.
The discussion brought from "Mr. " Gaso an
other getvral statement of all the demand
oblfgilltma of the United Stales. Ho said he
spoke from , the experience of a practloil
banker In saving that all the demands
ngalr.at the government would not come a
ctio time. If. was a tenet ot banking that
nit demands did hot come ot once. If they
did the tanks would net last long. Tor Mat
reason It was necoraary only to provide
against a small percentage of the demand
Mi ? , Jordan , the siibtrcaturcr ot New York ,
liad said lo him that all the trouble In rc-
flemptknwait caused by 'the last $200,000,000
of demands , The secretary concurred In
ihls view. If , therefore , $200,000,000 was set
aside ? In a redemption fund It v.ould to a
largo extent relieve tJie dein nd.
Mff Now lamia of Nevada argued that a
contraction of the currency wculd occur un-
icr the sccri'larj'a bill If the bunks surren
dered thMr nc'es.and took tile refund'itg
bumln which were proposed as a. bisls for
thp notfs ,
Mr Gage concede J that this might occur ,
liit ho thouphl the chances of It were ex
ceedingly remote
Mi" . Cox. tf Tennessee made the point tin'
under tie bill banks would get circulation
up to tile par v\luo of bond1) deposited at a
reduced rate cf 'uterrst while at the same

got their circulation with
Mi1. Gage answered that tJie proposal of
Ills bill was but the first s.tcp It had to
recognize the fact t lat the rational banking
law provided depcslts ot bonds a the basis
for circulation That beli g the capo lie had
deemed it wise as a first step to rcduco the
interest on the bonds When that desirable
end was accomplished further stops could betaken
taken toward a withdrawal of the govern
ment's guarantj for bank i oti Issues and
the Iritcr-deptadenco between the banks and
the government.
The hearing had continued until 12 30 and
as several niemberi desired to go on tbo
floor of the hcuse It was arranged that Mr.
Gage would resume his hearing befoic the
committee at 10 a rr tomorrow.
In tJie courseof his statement Mr. Gage
EiMd that ihls bill would be supplemented at
a later day by another measure carrying out
the recommendations ot the president that
the secretary of the treasury be empowered
to bcrrow , when circumstances demand ,
$100,000,000 for a term not exceeding one
jea/ . This power would not be exercised
except at rare intervals , but It would have
a steadying effect from the knowledge it gave
the market that the power existed. With
luls power to brrrovv In case ot need and the
measure * provided by his bill Mr.dago said
ho would Just ua leave run the government
firj/nccs as to run any bank , aa there would
bo no moro responsibility or hazard.

Mr. Allen's resolution calling on the preal-
lent for Information about the Instructions
given to the International Monetary commis
sion and the report made by the committee
hen came up
WOLCOTT NOT HEADY.
Mr. Wolcott , republican of Colorado , chalr-
rart of the commission , said the commission
lad not made a report to the nrcsldent. The
English government , he added , has pub-
lahed a resume of the proceedings of the
ommisslon In Great Britain That document
vlll soon be here , and as it co\eis the sub-
ect thoroughly , it will bo valuable to sena-
ors and others.
"I desire , " Eald Mr Wolcott , "to make a
tatemcnt concerning the work of the mone-
ary commission Quito naturally the state
ment will be unofficial , but It will contain
omo Information that may bo of some Inter
est and value to the senate.
"As I have .been absent from the country
about nine months , I have iot since my re-
urn , on account of an accumulation of busl-
icss , bean able to prepare such a statemenl
as I should llko to make to the senate II
he senator from Nebraska ( Allen ) will per-
nlt , the question might go over until after
he recess , when , abnut the middle of next
month , I shall be able to discuss the sub
net"
Mr. Wolcctt asked and the senate ordered
Hinted a speech delivered by M. Mellne In
: ho Trench Chamber of Deputies Nov ember
20 last. In which ho dwelt at considerable
ongth on all subjects connected with bi
metallism.
"M. Mellno shows , " said > Mr. Wolcott , "that
the steady decline In prices for agricultural
products Is due solely to competition ibe-
: weon gold and silver countries. "
Mr. Stewart said he had been satisfied from
t'lo first that the efforts of the commission
would fall. He had always advocated Inde
pendent action by the United States to secure
jlmetallii.ni , and ho thought the effort to se
cure co-operation of foreign nations vvoulc
jo not only unnecessary , but dangerous Ho
said that the co-operation of Franco was
more than ho had had reason to hope for , bui
lie was perfectly satisfied that England coulc
not bo brought to agree to the free coinage
of silver. In the course of his remarks Mr
Stewart said that the utterances of the
piesldont and secretary of the treasury
proved that this was a gold standard aii-
mlnlstratlon.
CHANDLER MAKES REJOINDER.
This statement brought Mr. Chandler , re
publican of Now Hampshire , to hid feet. Ho
said Secretary Gage had Dover announce !
that the present administration was In favor
of a gold standard , and ho did not bellevo
the senator from Nevada dealred to mlhrep
resent the administration.
Mr Stewart disclaimed any Intention to
misrepresent President McKlnlty anil Secretary
tary Gage , but ho Insisted tha words and ac
tloas of the secretary established the truth
fulncca of hlo statement.
Mr , Allen , populist of Nebraska , the author
of the resolution , said ho was not dispose * !
to press It at this time , If the senator froa
Colorado ( Mr. Wolcott ) desired to speak 01
It at a later day , but he thought the matte
ought to be cleared away. *
In response to an Inquiry , MK Wolcot
said he did not think the commission had
any intention of making a report at this
time , ted as a matter of faqt he did no
know wlion the report would be made.
"There Is no desire upon the pait of any
body , " said Mr. Wolcolt , "to prolong no
eotlatlona after all hope of success has dh
appeared. No member of 'tho commlsaloi
would delay for on hour the announcemcn
of Its decision after a decision QUO way o
the other shall have ibeen reached "
Mr. Allen said ho had always been eaila
flo.l that International 'bimetallism was a
dream an Ideality 'that "would never < bo at
tallied , but he was willing to allow < th
commission reasonable latitude. He askei
that the resolution go over until Januar
15 , end It was so agreed ,
CIVIL SERVICE LAW AGAIN.
Mr , Galllngcr called up the census bill fo
the purpoco of ri-pljlng briefly to a state
ment by Hon. Carroll D Wright , Incor
poiatcd In Mr. Lodge's speech of yesterday
Mr Galllngcr expressed surprlbe that a
reckless a statement should hue- been mad
by a man usually so careful as Mr , Wrlghl
Mr , Prltchard , republican of North Care
Una , chairman of the committee on elvl
waivlco , which I * engaged In a general In
ve-stlgatlon of the civil service commission
followed In a speech dealing with tha gen
eral features of the civil service- law , 1
was , ho said , a singular coincidence that I
never occurred to Mr. Cleveland to make hi
sweeping extensions of the civil service law
until ho reached that point where It wa
obvious to him that his party was to b

Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois , brought
onvard the 'bill for the relief of the minors
n the Klondike region , and Mr. Sajers and
> Ir , Ualloy , democrats of Texas , spoke in
aver of It.
Mr. Cannon aubmlttc-d a report by Shol-
on Jackson , one of the agents of the com-
nlsslonors or cducniilon who was In the
: iondtko region as late aa September 15 ,
liat there would bo 410 suffering as far tip

aid "Whether these" miners were In Amerl.
: an or British territory , whether they were
IrttUh or American subjects , If they were
tarvlng It did not 1 > ecomo the American
ongrees to hosl'ato voting them relief. "

Mr. Ualloy said ho had ne\cr been able
o ibo churltablu out of the public funds
lo bolle\od charity ought to bo voluntary ,
ml he had never voteul for relief funds to
hose stricken 'by ' flro or flood Uut he rc-
lljrol that distress appealed to the heirts
of all , and ho would not protest against a
illl designed to iclleve that dlstie&a ; but he
Id pio'.cst agilnst She government setting
ip storehouses and becoming a vender of
irovlslons.
The bill was passed without division.
Mr Hltt , republican of Illinois , chairman
of the committee en foreign affairs , secured
unanimous consent for the cci side-ration of
'ho bill passed by the senate jesterday to
prohibit pelagic scaling by citizens of the
United Stitcs. Ho Explained Its scope and
) urps.o and the necessity for Its enactment
n view of the pend'ng ' negotiations with
Great Britain.
Mr. HopK'Tis , republican of Illinois
bought a itlmo limit ought to bo placed or
ho act , so It Oie negotiations should col-
> pso our citizens would not be at a dlsad-
antagc.
Mi Hltt said our government did not ad-
r.lt that pelagic sealing vvis right ; It wcg a
> arbarlty. We were pressing upn Great
Britain a negotiation for the protection of
ho seals that three governments h d al
ready agreed to
Mr. Johnson , republican of North Dakoa
made a vlgorousrspecch of an hour in oppo-
ition to the bill He argued that the effect
of this bill and 'the ' n ° gctlatlons now being
conducted would'bo ' tno bolstering up of two
great British industries , one oa the Bering
iea and the other In t/mdon. The prcfient
lord was not worth protecting The purpose
\as to build up a new herd. He declared
tilt Canada would be only willing to Join
\ltli us In prohibiting pelagic sealing on
condition that wb would allow that country
o wrlto our HrlTf ihws Mi. Johnson said
wo had been humiliated und s amed by the
complete surrender ot our rights at 'the ' Paris
tribunal.
Ho was sarcastic In h's references to Hon
John W. Poster , > \JiOm ho teimcd "the great
surrenderor. " " So great was his reputation in
this line , ho saiij , trait China had paid him
100,000 for sui rendering to Japan He created
rnuchamusumen by'cryimeratlng Eomo of the
expenses of the ! .J'aria tribunal , and said he
lid not man el that thq experts who had al
ready gotten so much 6ut of the government
desired to keep up an agitation which per
mitted them to draw big eilaries and rove
over the world at the expense of the govern
ment.
Mr. Johnson , on another phase of the qucs-
; lon , described the destruction of the food
fishes by the seals. The recent Increase in the
catch of the fisheries of the Pacific coast and
Uaska ho attributed to the diminution of the
> f the seal herd If these wolves of the sea
md been completely exterminated , he said ,
wo would not bo sanding relief to the miners
n Alaska. Each seal required ten pounds of
fish a day. The coast of Alaska would be
come the greatest cod fisheries In the world
f these enemies of the fish were destroyed
Mr. Hepburn , republican of Iowa , ex-
> ressed the opinion that wo had the power at
any tlmo to compel Canada to adjust thla
whole question as to seals. The pelagic ssal-
ng was not worth more than $250,000 per an
num The bonding privilege granted to
Canadian roads , over which we had absolute
control , was worth twenty times as much to
Canada cs the right of pelagic sealing. He
advocated retaliation as the weapon to be
used to bring Canada to terms and said he
could not understand why It had not already
been employed
Mr Loud , republican of California , arguec
ll-it If our citizens were to be bound It weie
advisable that they bo bound Jointly with the
subjects of Great Britain , A treaty wouli
jind the citizens of both countries alike
Wh > not await the outcome of the pending
negotiations ?
Mr. Hitt answqred some fiery questions
which hid been advanced. He admitted tht
evil of the present condition was oelaglc
sealing , which evil resulted In the killing o
30,000 seals annually ; and yet the gentle
man from North Dakota ( Mr. Johnson ) , pro
posed to meet this partial slaughter by an
absolute slaughter of the entire ceal held
Was this a human proposition from a gov
ernment which was urging humanity on other
nations ? Mr. Hltt referred to the barbarity
of the practice of killing1 the defenseless
seal pups.
This brought a query from Mr. Living
ston , democrat of Georgia"As chairman o
the foreign affairs committee you have In
your possession a resolution respecting the
? oor and defenseless pe < plo of Cuba. Wha
do you Intend doing about that ? Are no
the Cubans as much entitled to jour care
us the soil pups ? "
Mr. Hltt repeated the seal question , saying
It was asked with a view of getting a serious
answ if.
After further debate the bill was passed
yeas , 118 ; nays , 78.
An hour was spent on the legislative
executive and Judicial arnropilatlon bill with

The bankruptcy bill was reported by the
Judiciary committee and an extension of time

onslders It the duty of every lojal repub-

Senator Morrlll of Vermont has also been

The action of the democratic members of

ucstlon for c-ich iron to vote according to

WASHINGTON , Dec 1C Leading demo
cratic members of the house of representa-
Ives say no aggiesslvo action is anticipated
'o carry out the declarations of the recent
democratic house caucus on Cuba , finance
and 'bankruptcy. ' The action will be al
ow od to stand , as showing the policy of the
nlnoilty. It is said , however , that It would
bo useless to force the Cuban question be-
ere the hoube , as the rules would not per
mit the Minority to bring the question tea
a vote. The senate Cuban resolution ,
which was endoised by the caueus , re-
: > oses In the commltteo on foreign affairs ,
and there is no power under the lules to
get It from that committee , representative
Livingston of Georgia has suggested that a
evolution be presented directing the foreign
committee to report the Cuban resolution
at once , but this procedure would bo Inef
fective , as the resolution directing an im-
modli e report would bo icferred to the
couim'ttee ' on rules It Is not doubted that
this ibody , representing the majority , would
refusj to act favorably on a motion of this
chancier.
Ail parliamentarians on the democratic
side admit that It will , bo impossible for
the minority to force an Issue on Cuba.
They are moro hopsful of giving expression
to the caucus action on finance. The ma-1
lorlty will doubtless bring forward financial |
measures on the lines suggested by the
president and Secretary Gage , and the demo- \
cratlc caucus policy will be given effect by
the solid democratic vote , numbering 125 ,
against these measures. On the bankruptcy
question It Is expected that the minority
will frame a bankruptcy ibill calculated to
meet the caucus declaration for a "fair nnd
Just" measure ot this character. The bill
when framed , will bo offered as a BUbstl'uto
to the one to bo urged by the committee
on Judiciary after the holldajs.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1C. The national
boird of trade today ndjomnod alter a hrco
dayw' cession. The mast Important notion
of toda > ' j session , -was the endorsement of a
pooling measure -which would plaeo this
question under the supervision ot the Inter
state Commerce eommlsslon. Thera was a
strong sectional division on the question ,
itho east for and the west against the meas
ure. Jn this connection Henry Thurber ot
New York , chairman of the committee to
which the matter had been referred , said
"While there has been earnest opposition tea
a peeling bill iby Iho western forces It Is
gratlfjlng t0 notu a growth ot Intelligent
sentiment In favor ot the measure as to per
mit the endorsement ot It todiy by a two-
thirds vote Under the careful supervision
of the Interstate Commerce * commission It
will bring order mid equality out of the
present chaotic condition o ( railroad affairs
and secure what no Just anil disinterested
party could object to , namely , equal com-
IHMisailnn for services under equal condi
tions all over the country.It la < < > the beat
Interests of the majority of shlppcia nnd
railroads themselves. "
At today's session Mr. Glllott of
Philadelphia read a piper In favor ot the
establishment of a permanent tariff commis
sion. A resolution urging upon congress the
creation of such a commission was adopted ,
as waa also one recommending "such legisla
tion by rongross as will unify the quarantine
regulations of the country for protection
ncnlnst liriported dangers to health and to
glvo the least possible hindrance to trade and
travel consistent with safety. "
Mr. Kckert ot Chicago pioscnted a report
favoring the adoption of such legislation ns
will define the mttiufacturo , sale , Importation
and exportation of mixed flour. The rcpoit
was adopted.
Mr. Tlmrbcr of New York presented a re
port on railroad transportation and kindred
subjects , which contained the following
That the national boaid of trade advocates
loglslitlon bv congress to nmcml the Intei-
stiito commerce law so ns to poimlt pooling
by rallroidti undri the supervision and con
trol of the1 Intelstato cijmincue commission
to the otul that unjust disci Initiations nim
by iprevonted and loisonnblc , unlfoim and
stable i Ues bo established.
A minority report on this .resolution was
pioscnted iby Mr Vanlandlnghani of St Louis
on behalf of four members of the commit
tee strorgly opposing the pooling proposi
tion
The resolution was finally adopted by a
two-thirds vote.
The remaining resolutions of Mr. Thurber
wore ntoptgd ns follows
That as a stait toward Justice In transpor
tation rxtes , gienter uniformity In the
classification ot fiolght Is nuccs&arv nnd
"hould the rallroul eompinlos fall to formu
late nnd put Into effect a uniform clarifica
tion of freight within a reasonable time
that the Interstate Comniurco commission
should bo empowered to formulate and make
effoctlvc such specification.
The resolutions deprecate -movements
looking toward the government ownership of
railioads , reaffirms Its approval of the anti-
scalper bill , now pending In congress , and
savs
That as the decisions of the United States
supreme court have so weakened the power
of the Inter-Uite Commerce commission to
perform tin duties originally outlined for
It , nve potlt'on ' congress to so amend the
Interstate commerce law as to clothe the
commission with paver to carry out the
origin il Intentions of the act.
The board , by invitation , made a call upon
President McKlnloy.
After the vlalt to the White House < here
was a short session , at which tno icport of
the commltteo on reform In the consular sor-
vlco was adopted The report leconimends

service as will secure permanency. Judicious

The report from the committee on forestry

of forest lands and the encouragement of

ing , the whole bill was gone over , but so

the pioposed now legislation that it was de
cided to postpone action until after the holl-
dajs Representative Mercer was before the
committee with several amendments ho
wanted but was perfcctl } willing to have the

to submit the bill to local people before any
final action wus taken Congressman Ta\vney
of Minnesota , speaking for the bub-commlt-

reason for not passing upon the bill today

which the Board of Government Control con
templates making lu the existing law. The
proposed bill greatly enlarges the power of

the manner In which the appropriation ot

gives the board grcl'ter latitude than was
originally contemplated In the employment of
subordinates without limitation as to salary
of these employed , and consequently the com
mltteo thought It but right to Inquire us

WASHINGTON , Dec.-10 The nomination
of Attorney General McICenm to succeed
Justice Piold on the supreme bench will not
bo acted upon by the senate until after the
Chrlotaias holidays. The nomination was
referred to the commltteo on Judiciary lu
toJay'a executive cession , but Senator Hoar ,
chairman of that committee , stated that ho
would not ask the committee to consider
the nomination until after the reconvening-
of the senate In January.
It does not appear that the delay In con
sidering Mr. McKouna's nomination Is flue
to opposition that Is reported to exist against
his confirmation so much as 'to the fact that
was started last January. The December n-smber ( now ready )
completes its first year , and the first year is a critical year with
publications , From the very start THE PURITAN has
avoided the commonplace , the ordinary , the namby pamby.
But with all this it has been but a new publication , and no
new publication strikes its pace in a single year gets its setting ,
its lines , well defined , and its work up to the highest standard.
THE PURITAN hasn't done this , but it has been working
towards it. The editor of a new publication has to grope
around in the darkness , to a certain extent. Some of his pet
ideas will not work out as he had thought * The " machinery "
is stiff , and doesn't run smoothly. It is surprising how much
polishing and pruning and toning has to be done.
Get a copy ot the December PURITAN , and
