FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.

VIZ HEREAS there is good reason to believe that
w the alarming frequency with which fires have
lately occurred in this city, by which much valuable
property has been destroyed and much more exposed
to imminent peril has been caused in part by wicked
and wilful incendiaries and it being of the utmost
consequence well to the safety of property as for
the tranquility of the community, that such atroc-
ties should be put stop to- by bringing the perpetra-
tors thereof to condgn punishment; / have thought
fit to issue this my proclamation offering reward
of Five Hundred Dollars to whoever shall give tnfor-
nation which shall lead to the discovery and convic-
ton of any person guilty of wilfully setting fire to
any dwelling house other building within the city
of Washington.

from the select committee relative to

"Resolved by the House 'of Delegates
that this House. think it necessary at this
time TO declare that they are fully sensible
of and can never forget the rank, SER

Upon the report being read, an interes-
ting discussion arose. Messrs. Randall,
Freshman and Carmichael, in the affirma-
tive; and Messrs. Brent Causin, and Tuck,
in the Negative.
The question was then put and carried.
Whereupon the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1912.

WASHINGTON, r eD. ., 1917.
In the House of Representatives., the
call upon the several states for petitions
was resumed and concluded.
M. Fessenden gave notice that he will,
on the first opportunity, introduce a reso-
luton having for its object the repeal of
the 2lst (antiabolition) rule. So we have
another abolition war in prospect.
MIR. Gushing moved reconsideration
Of the vote by which on yesterday the
'dissolution" petition from Haverhill had
been rejected.
Mr.. G. desired to make some remarks
on his motion, but the Chair decided that
a speech wonld not be In order; Mr.. Cush-
ing appealed from the decision, but the
appeal ives not sustained. The motion
OF reconsideration was then entered, and
will be in order tomorrow, when Mr..
Gushing will have right to speak.
The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of a resolution offered by Mr.. Sal
tonstal some weeks ago, from the commit
tee on manufactures. The committee
ask power to send for persons from any
part of the Union, whose testimony may
be deemed desirable to enable them to
complete their report on the tariff subject
After some remarks from Mr. Tilllng-
hast, all amendment was offered by Mr.
Brown, to the effect that no evidence shall
be taken from an interested witness.
The further consideration of the reso-
luton was cut short by the expiration of
the morning hour.
The House then went into committee
of the whole, and considered the Indian
and Pension appropriation bills. After
these had been laid aside to be reported,
the Civil and Diplomatic appropriation
bill was taken up. After it had been
read through, the committee rose, and the
House adjourned.
In the Senate, Mr.. Tallmadge, in pre-
senting petition against the postpone
ment of the Bankrupt law, gave Mr.. Ben
ton some hard hits in relation to his
course on the subject. The latter nine
times in succession declared Mr.. T. had
spoken that which was false. The brought
on long debate as to what ought to be
done with the belligerent Mr.. Tall
madge was finally suffered to proceed on
the condition that he should avoid per-
sonalities. 1t is supposed that the affair
will be settled out of doors.
Mr. CIay's resolution proposing that
when any State shall refuse its share Of
the money from the public lands, such
share shall be distributed among the States,
was adopted. 1t merely directs the COM
mittee on public lands TO consider the ex-
pediency of such course.

to them to meet the example cited by the
honorable Senator, and to show that be-
cause two things occur or exist at, the
same time they have not therefore ;the
relation Of cause and effect.
The honorable Senator also told.as, as
an evidence that the use OF a paper cur
rcncy was injurious, that we, these Uni
ted States, had prospered more prior to
1910, when we had very few banks, than
we had ever done since. We'll, sir, and
was there no obvious cause for that grea-
ter prosperity during the period referred
TO than the absence Of a nlixedcurrency?
Does not the Senator, does not every one
know that during the season Of our great
prosperity alluded to, we were a>single
nation at peace amidst world in arms;
we were neutral Power whilst the rest
OF the world was. in conflict, and that we
were sufficiently commercial, and had a
sufficient Infusion into our character OF
that. Yankee clear-sighledness which it
has been SAID can see a dollar ten miles
of; to turn the advantages of our position
to good account. Both these latter ar
guments, Mr.. President, go uponthe prin
clple of past hoe ergo propter hac; and
will not stand the test of SCRUTINY. i am
Got sue, sir, that.it would not be es well
here TO close my remarks. | have init
mated my desire to have these questions
settled, and my willingness to concur in
any measure calculated TO effect that end
! have said would in this spirit be will
ling to take this bill as it is, to take i,
with. notifications, either by enlarging or
curalllng lis provisions, to do almost any
thing not forbidden by the Constitution
which should tend to the restoration OF
the. currency and the withdrawal of this
topic from political agitation. The coun.
try wants the evils of an uncertain, depre-
clated, and huctuating currency corrected
This is 10 be done by an infusion into the
circulation, in some form, of sound
safe, convertible paper medium, in mod
crate Quantities, which shall gradually
.dlsplace the deprecated and irredeemable
paper we now have. But this paper mus,
be Of uniform value wherever it may cir
culate in the country, and be certainly
convertible into specie at the pleasure Of
the older This will greatly ease the
People in the present pressure; and it viii
be performance of your imperative duty
Do this, the prosperity of the country
will revive, and hereafter you may grad.
ually reduce the amount of credit now
necessary in the circulation to any a.
mount wise counsels shall dictate as mos
desirable. Twill now, sir, cease to tres
pass on the patience of the Senate.
