WOLCOTT TALKS.
At 12GO : Mr. Wolcott of Colorado was

Mr. Woloott Introduced hlfl nubjeet by siy-
Irg that ho wisa Rlad to tnako a statement
importing certain p.iosca of the work of the
rocen' . bimetallic commission , but In oo Jo
ins he spoke unofficially , "tv > t committing his
juvini-lates 'In the rl htcst degree cither to
hln opinions or deductions. "
SummlnR up the favorable conditions un
der which tic ! comjnlsslon operated. Mr. Wol
cott s.ild : "Wo have- hid ncn a law brcud
and full Intin powers ; wo have been free tenet
net under ls : provtalsna ; our views have
favoring an In-
b"on Identical and cainwtly

wo liavo not known that back of our efforta
was ( ho earnest dealre of the oVlcf executive
to carry it In Its entirety the provisions of
the platform of the republican party pledg
ing It to every effort to bring ubout an In
ternational bimetallic agreement. "
PIOHUNO IN PIIANCE.
In France , he Bald , the question of bl-
me'Jilllsni was rcginlctl o strictly nn In-
tcrrctlorul qurfltlrnind It wso ORrocd that
Fturro nnd the UnlU-d Statea should unlto
In presenting the question to Clrcat Hrltaln.
Ho contended for tlio lmpr'anco of t'o : pre
liminary imlerstandlnK with franco because
of HIP l-iTKO pr capita circulation of that
romi'ry. "Had Knslnnl even adhered to her
immiratii'os of the 17th of March , 1S30 , coun
tries reprcnoiitliis nicro tnn" 1ialf ot tl10 total
money of Kurpc anO ' .le United States would
have agreed , prior to a conference , that upon
terms to ho tettlcd nt suth conference
they wi'uld reopen their mints to the un
limited coinage of both gold and silver.
"It was perfectly roillzel from the begln-
nltuho said , "that bimetallism for Kng-
Ipiid was out of the question. I'.dla wao the
vital | , ont ! cf all ths noKotl-itlons with Eng-
liml , and nil other proposals were Inslg-
cilflraut In comparison with ibat ' cspoctlng
mints of lodla to the
tlio -opening of the
unlimited coinageof silver , and the repeal
of the order permitting gold to be paid for
government dues and to be exchanged for
government rupees.
"Therevaa a general opinion , not limited
to Bi'Rland. that the Indian government
v-ui : bo quick to avail Itself of an oppor
tunity to reopen Its mints and would wel
come another International attempt toward
bimetallism that would raise the value of
Blher and would be glad to co operate In euch
on attempt. This belief found expression
l-i the speech of the chancellor of the ex-
clicnutr on March 17 , and I am sure that
I violate no confidence when I siy that the
nn vor of the Ind'-in government protesting
aeainst reopening India minis wao as much a
EUI prise to the Kngllsh ministry as It was a
cii appointment to us. "
Hire Mr. Wolcott announced his Intention
to retire from the commission. Ho said :
"It is my sincere conviction that an laler-
r..tinial : blnu-Mllle agreement U utlll feal-
of which certain countries
bl" . by the terms
tries will Join us and open their mints to
thr unlimited colrage ot silver , and others
will contribute to the pla.3 an enlarged USB
of that metal ns money ; find I say ihl.a . the
moo freely because I sh.il ! give way upon
tl'p commission to somebody more fitted for
su. . 'i r.eRotl.jtlor.o and bettor able to give
them h.j ! constant time. This rcnult cannot
bo brought about without the expenditure of
roth time nnd patience , and the peraoix' en-
truslcd with the duty of negotiation must
luivo back of them the hearty support of the
prr ' ' , ! cnl and of congress. " He thought It
ir.Uvt be necessary to change the ratio to
eotrrthlnR like 20 to 1.
Mr. Wolcott concluded h's speech nt 2:05 :
p. r.i. . having spoken for nn hour and fifteen
minuter As ho sat fcwn 'there was a burnt
cf applause throughout the chamber and for
Bfpial minutes ho van surrounded by his
ro'IoiKiios who dcfllrcJ to Ruder 'ihclr con-
gratulitloro.
Mr. Allen of Ncbrcuk'1 , dcalrlng to sr > e.ik
u.ion the resolution whlcli had been the basis
of Mr. Wclcott's remarks , asked that Kic
resiliitlon bo read. Mr. hoJge of M imacbu-
Fotts demanded the regular order , which was

by the vice president , Mr. Alien wld 'thac ' as

him a few mlnutos for some remarks upon

Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin \vhlle supporting
the general character of tno bill , pointed out
n feature which ho wld was Indefensible ,
namely , that requiring an Immigrant to bth
read and write portions of the Un'ltci ! S'ntcs

WASHINGTON , Jan. 17. Thlj was DU-
trlct of Columbia day In the house , but only
thrco 'bills ' of local Impottance were pasiso , ! .
The remainder of the session was devoted
to further consideration of the army ap
propriation bill.
The debate was particularly notable for a
vigorous speech by Mr. McClellan ( dcm. ,
N. Y. ) , a son of General George II. McClel
lan , attacking the present army organiza
tion ns obsolete and Inefficient. He asserted
thr.t worrc woefully unprepared for war
should a crisis como and contended for mod
ern methods in organization , equipment and
supplies , etc. , which would enable the
United States to meet 'an emergency.
Mi1. Lewis ( dem. , Wash. ) made a speech
which attracted attention , in denunciation
of trusts , which , he declared , were threat
ening the liberties of the country.
T'o ! cor.sldcratlon or the army appropria
tion bill was not completed today.
Tlil.i was District of Columbia day In tha
house , and Immediately after the reading of
the Journal Mr. Curtis cf the District com
mittee claimed the day and proceeded to the
Introduction of District business.
After t'ho passage of three- bills of purely
local .Importance , the hcuse resumed con
sideration of the army appropriation bill ,
wbloi was begun on. Saturday.
In the course of tlio general debate Mr.
Grifiith ( rep. , la. ) defended the policy of
retiring army ofllccrs on thrco-quarters pay.
The debate was made significant by an
attack upon the cniclcncy of the several
tranches of the army by Mr. McClellan
( dcm. , N. Y. ) . a son of General Gcorse B.
McClellan.
The army , ho declared , was little belter
than a clumsily organized national police
force , tcp-heavy with the gold lace of staff
officers , many of whom had not seen more
active service than falls to the lot of a
member of the police force. The army
should , lie declared , bo entirely reorganized.
Ho caid this In no spirit cf Jingoism , but
for the purpose of calling the attention of
the country to the fact that we were pay
ing a largo price for a very Inefficient army ,
uttctly unprepared for war , while a very
small additional expenditure , with proper
reorganization , would work wonders.
Mr. McClellan went into a detailed dis
cussion of thu various branches of the serv
ice. Our Infantry formations , ho said , would
have been considered excellent in the nev-
cntcenth century. He criticised particu
larly the organisation of the cavalry. Aa
Indicating the poor quality or condition of
the mounts purchased for the cavalry , he
aald , we were each year replacing 25 per
cent ot the cavalry horses , while in Europe ,
Austria , for Instance , but 12 per cent of
the cavalry horses were replaced annually.
Ono of the gravest defects In the present
orgnrizatlon , ho said , was the lack of a
properly instructed and competent staff. In
the modern sense of the word , we had no
stall.
Our ammunition plant was , he nild , hope
lessly deficient. At the present late of ac
cumulated reserve , ho said , at the end of
flvo years wo would only have enough am
munition to supply the Infantry for two
days at the firing rate of the battle ot Get
tysburg.
Mr. Lewis ( dem. , Wash. ) made a vig
orous cpcech against any increase of
the army. IIo created something of
an innovation by taking hlj position
lu tlio area In front of the speaker' . ! ros
trum and speaking to the house face to
face , as to a congregation. "Ho charged that
the trusts were In control of the country
and constituted the mailed hand of power
behind the decrees of 'the ' courts , it the
army was Increased , the people would , ho
said , bo Jiutltled In asking whether It wus
not to bo used to barricade the courts and
break down everything that means 'tho '
freedom of the government.
Ho differed , ho said , from tbo leader , Mr.
Hryau. whoso cause ho had followed to the
pit. Ho was not willing to subscribe to the
Idea 'that ' freu .silver was the single end to
ho fought for. Thcro was necessity , ho slid ,
for n return to the true dmocracy which had
for Us end the freedoms of the Individual as
nn Individual.
Mr. Lewis quoted a itelogram which ho
bald Collator Hanna had received from
Frankfort , Germany , signed by A. Sollgmou ;
as follows : "I congratulate you on your
election. It is most satisfactory to mo. "
That message , .ho eald , came from the man
who helped to place a mortgage on this gov
ernment of $200,000,000. Its Insolence , ho
eald , had no parallel In history save In the
mr-jMgo sent by 1'ontlu.i 1'lloto to the oxc-
eutlaiier of Jeans Christ congratulating him
that hU work was well done.
Mi1. Grosvonnr Interrupted to ask If Mr.
Low la wa.-i aware'thai ! Mr. Sollgman was an
American citizen ?
"I am. " responded Mr. Lowla. "Ho Is
an unpatriotic American citizen. " ( Applause
on thn democratic sldo. )
Mr. ( irosvonor recalled the fact that Mr.
Sollgman , with the credit of his house , ren
dered Invaluable aid to the union cause dur
ing the war.
'J\ > this Mr. Lewis replied with the state
ment that Mr. Sullgman had removed his
resiJenc-j from ihla country at a tlmo when
he feared the Income tax law would compel
him to pay his share to the support of tlio
government. "lie U the last man , " bild
ho , "whom I should taku prideIn culling
an American citizen. "
Mr. Hull ( rop. , la. ) , chairman of the com
mittee on military affairs , cxprc&sod can-
currcnco In the views of Mr. McClellan to
the extent that ho believed lho army should
bo ro-organlzod , ns the prfwen ! organization
wjs obsolete.
The discussion of the nceJs of the army
wan continued by Messrs.Wheeler ( drm. ,
Aln. ) , Clark ( dem. , Mo , ) , Cox ( dein. , Tenn. ) ,
Marsh ( rep. , 111. ) , and other * . Without com
pleting thu bill the committee- rose , and at
5:10 p. m , the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 17. Scretary Oago
and cx-Secrotary Falrchlld were before th"
house committee on banking and currency
today for n furthar tUscuss'on of the pend
ing plans for currency reform. After con-
fclderablo controversy umong members ns to
how they were to bo questioned , Chairman
Walker made the Interrogatories. In re
sponse to questions by Mr. Walker , Mr.
Gage said ho had been In the banking busi
ness for forty years ; for ten years was pres
ident of the Flrat National bank of Chicago
cage , with a capital of $3.000.000 and leans
and discounts of $18.000,000 to $20 -
009,000. He assented to Mr. Walker's ques
tion that ho appeared as a banker and finan
cier of long experience to aid the committee.
The rhalrmin asked If It wus possible to use
paper money and keep It at an equality with
coin In purchasing power without the coin
on hand. Mr. Gage answered that ho
thought not. Without the specie on hand
there was a tendency to distrust , If not
panic , and no demand for specie.
Mr. Walkcr'a question tcok a wide range ,
tN > lng into the terhivlcalltles and theorlea of
monetary science ; the effect of a mlso hi In
terest ; the diminishing of loatu , etc.
Mr. Gage end Mr. Falrchlld alternated In
giving their views , which In too main covered
the gcnen-.l opcintlona of banking anil the
conditions most conducive to profitable cir
culation. Mr. Gage wld It would be Imposot-
blo in thin country to have a general rate of
Interest , aa prevailed In England , where the
Bank of England fixes the rate. Hero It
varies In Uio many states , under statutory ! > iw
end the banks of the country rail never been
able to coalesce on a ruling rate of Interest.
Mr. Falrchlld In turn cxplalnsd lbt the
rate of the iBank of England wai governed
by the market lu'to ' , which compelled the
establishment cl the bank rate. To Mils ex
tent L-.ndrn an.l Now York were i the same
basis , o-'jh Interest rate beltv ; reapont'ive to
tli3 market and the law of supply and de
mand. Further qucst'lora ' brought from Mr.
FVilrchllil the { 'Statement ' that ono ot the ef
fects cf a raise on In.tcrcst wus t3 chock
the demand for gold and this was the ex
perience of t/io Hank of England.
Mr. Fowler asked If a fi per cent ntc of
Interest would Mt almost Invariably step the
How of gold from this country.
Mr. Falrchlld thought l > tt would If the gold
standard was In operation.
Mr. Gage responded to another extended
question that confidence depended en the as-
fiurccico of coin redemption. Hcfcrrlng to the
"crdlesa chain" process , Mr. Gage cald It
wcs a figure of speech applying to all
llnanc'.al operations where obllpatl : < ni came In
and went out In a circle. So long 23 the obli-
EMitlcr.3 were met , the operation was not a
iiorrlblo 'thing ' , but W-M right an 1 necessary.
Mr. Fairchlld assented to this , saying this
circle by which redemption was accomplished
wao essential in bankln. ? ; , but tbat the evil
lay In tlio fact fat the government hal
not the banking facilities to nako this re
demption absolutely regular and certain.
Lacking throe facilities fear waa Inspired end
the demands for gold lnreased.
Mr. Mitchell of New York called attention
to the provision ! of the Gage bill for the ac
cumulation of greenbacks In the treasury for
t.'ie purpose of preventing the "endless
chain. "
Mr. Gage said that as applied to the gov
ernment the endless chain was prejudicial ,
because the demand liabilities of the gov
ernment were so great the theoictlca ! pio-
vlslon of gold is inadequate to redeem
promptly and to give confidence of prompt
redemption and tl'at , said Mr. Gage , Is a
source of weakness. Mr. Gage made a general -
oral statement of what ho hoped to see ulti
mately accomplished as a permanent finan
cial system.
"It vould bo a condition of affairs with
national bank notes , made safe to the people
without specific security therefor , wisely re
stricted by law , so as to prevent such rvils
as might arise anl with the entire elimina
tion of the United States government from
paying Its debts by giving other debts in
rayment. "
"Why not accomplish this now ? " asked
Mr. Walker.
"Theoretically there Is no reason why it
should not be done now ; practically there
are many reasons. The predisposition of the
people Is In favor of government notes. I
believe the economic loss to the people from
ttls system , although unknown , outwelghn
the narrow advantage of the mere saving of
Interest secured by these government notes.
You cannot change the ir.lnds of the people.
They are timid nnd suspicious of banknote
Issues. They disbelieve that anyone can up-
lied ! a system such as I have sketched with
out selfish nnJ sordid motives. They fear It
Involves hazard nnd loss. They recall the
period of wildcat banks. It is desirable ,
therefore to make the first step so simple
as to show the people that It involves no
langers , so that In tlmo the lull develop
ment of the plan would be responsive to pub
lic sentiment. "
At 12:30 : Mr. Oago's hearing wag adjourned
until tomorrow.
A wrangle over motions and counter mo-
lions to restrict the time of members in In
terrogating witnesses Jelayed the session cf
the banking and currency committee for over
an hour. In the course of the discussion Mr.
McCleary ( rep. , Minn. ) maJo the statement
that every republican on the committee fa
vored , the gold standard proposition of the
monrta : y commission In the bill , while Mr.
Hill ( rpp. . Conn. ) protested t > at was not cor
rect. The examination of ex-Secretary Fairchild -
child was then resumed.

SAN FttANCISCO , Jan , 17. When Presi
dent Dele of Hawaii landed from the steam
ship Peru this morning ho was not received
with the ceremony befitting the ruler of n
foreign country. The Peru arrived shortly
after 8 o'clock last night nnd the quar
antine regulations were not waived In favor
of the visiting president , so ho remained on
board nil night. When the steamer docked
this morning President Dele was greeted
by the Hawaiian consul and n few friends ,
hut there were no representatives of the
Unltod States government to formally wcl-
como him. The customs officials paused the
baggage of himself and family without In
spection , and that was all. Owing to the
fact that the steamer came In after dark
last night , no salute was fired by any of
the forts around the bay.
That a different rcceptlcci was anticipated
Is evidenced by the following letter from the
Associated Press correspondent at Honolulu :
HONOLULU , Jim. 0. President Dele nnd
his party will leave for Washington this
oveiilnif by the steamship Peru. Mrs. Dele
will accompany the party ns far as Bin
Francisco , nnd will remain In that city
until the piosldent shall return. President
Dele will remain two days In San Frnn-
elsco , communicating with the Hawaiian
legation nt Wnshlne > ton ; In the meantime ,
1C the Hawaiian annexation ( iitestlcm has
not been settled by congress , the presiden
tial pmy will proceed to the capital at
once ; If , on the other hand , the treaty him
been passed or action on lho mime deferred
liidrlintteiy , then it Is moro than probable
that President Dele will not Journey to
Washington , but Instead will take the ilrst
boat far Honolulu.
SPKCULATING ON 1113 HBCKl-TION.
There Is much speculation here ns to the
manlier In which President MeKlnley will
receive the visit of Hawalla'M chief execu
tive. When the late King Knhikaiin went
to Washington there was ample advance
notice of his program. This gave suillclrnt
time to make complete preparations for the
reception and entertainment of the mon
arch. President Dole will touch the Cali
fornia shore forty-eight hours after the an
nouncement of bis coming. Ills visit dif
fers In about every feature from that of
Knlaknun.
W. N. Armstrong- , who accompanied King
Kalnkaim to Washington , states that the
president does not return calls. This Is
of cour.sc for the excellent and clear reasons
that there has not been at any time as a
resident or visitor a peer of the occupant
of the White House. Upon this occasion ,
however , the president of tb-1 United States
will depart from common custom , or rather
from tlio ordinary routine of bis olhVlnl
life. Ktlquot requires that President Mc-
Klnlcy shall as soon as convenient i\ -
turn tbo call of President Dole. In the
preliminaries necessary to tlio nu-etliiK of
the two heads of nations the Hawaiian
minister at Washington , Mr. F , M. Hatch ,
will Ilrst communic'ite with Secretary Sher
man , who in turn shall notify President
McKlnloy that President Dole will soon
call at the While House. The iletni : ; ) of
the presentation will b arranged anil oin-
munlcutcd by Secretary Shormuii to Min
ister Hatch.
When President Dole goes off to a for
eign ship in this port he is honored with a
salute of twenty-one Kuna , and the yards
are manned. Then ; can only bp conjecture
as to what ceremony will attend tingret -
Ing of President Dele upjn his arrival at
ths W'hlto HJUSO. If the European cus
tom Is followed be will bo met at his c.ir-
rlago by President MeKlnley.
Minister Hatch , at the official reception ,
will present 'President Dele to Secretary
Sherman , who In turn will present the
visitor to President McKlnloy. Tlio wel
come to the White House may Include a
military display and It may be quiet and
democratic ; It all depends upon the pro
gram as prepared by Secretary Snermaii
and President MeKlnley.
JUST A FRIENDLY VISIT.
It was 11:30 : before President Dele and
party had landed and arrived at the Occi
dental hotel. President Dole promptly ro-
coivcd a delegation of newspaper men who
were waiting to see him and spoke freely
of his mission , hero. He eald : "I do not
como to the United States to work for m-
ncxatloa. I am merely on a friendly visit
to thirt country end its president. I expect
to remain In San Francisco thrco or four
days , when I will start direct for Washing
ton and will there call on Prealdent Me-
Klnlcy. It was thought best by tlie Ha
waiian government that during the consid
eration of the annexation treaty by the
United States senate I should be In
Washington and advise the Hawaiian lega
tion ta certain matters. It is not my Inten
tion to make any argument or do any lobby
ing for annexation. Of course , if I am called
upon by the United States government to
give any Information I will readily do so. I
am also Interested In tbo form of govern
ment to bo adopted for Hawalla In case of
annexation. The treaty provides for the ap
pointment of a commission to Investigate
and decide upon the government for Hawaii.
Pending a report of the commission , Hawaii
will probably bo regarded as a territory and
1'rraldent MeKlnley will appoint a governor.
Certain changes will have to bo made at
once in the present form of government fcr
the island and I might bo able to advise the
Hawaiian legation as to those changes. "
President Dole , continuing , said. " 1 think
the sentiment of tbo people of the island Is
moro than over fa favor of annexation. To
30 sure , there are some natives who are
indifferent and others who are opposed to
annexation , but no ono really juat knows
low many. "
President Dole Is accompanied by Major
laukca of his personal staff. Colonel Fisher
of the Hawaiian army and Dr. Day , his
ihyslclan :
Late this afternoon General Shatter and
ils staff in full uniform , made their olHclal
call upon President Dele at his hotel and
vcre received by Major Luakeaua , Colonel
J'lshor and 'Dr. ' 'Day ' , each of whom was rr-
splondrnt with gold lace , prior to being ad-
nltted to the presence of the distinguished
Isllor , who was most cor.llally welcomed
iy General Shatter on bohulf of the govern-
nont of the United Statea. The proceedings
vrre entirely formal and after tbo usual ex
change of courtesies the representatives of
h government left.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 17. The officials here
are considering what reception shall bo ex-
ended to 'President Dole of Hawaii. It Ij
said that the collector of customs at San
"ranclaco undoubtedly will follow tlio usual
custom In exempting the effects of the vlsl-
or from inquiry. Wiien ho uirrlvco In Wash-
ngton , President Dele will diplomatically
rank with any reigning potentate , monarch
or president and will bo received with all
of the usual courtesies , being cntertalnol
officially If It pleased him , no have been
other vlultcrs of equal ranlt.
