Reade and an accomplice named Albert

way 10 the stationhOuse Reade resisted sne
officers, who found it necessary to use the
mace upon him with severity.
Cook was fined $40 and released. He
took this opportunity to escape the tolls
that were being spread for him, and to this
end had his hair and beard klaeked, crossed
the river and made his escape.
Reade was fined S25 for disorderly con-
duct and the same for resisting the officers.
He was also arrested on a State warrant
for malicious mischief. The examination
resulted in the requirement Of bond OF
$500 for his appearance before the Circuit
Court. When the amount of the bond was
announced, Reade understood it to be a
fine and Immediately drew from his pocket
$500 and threw it upon the table, sup
posing this would end his trouble. Having
however, been informed, that a
bond was demanded OF him,
he offered any one s25 to go on the bond,
aud also to place the amount of the bond
in the hands of the party who would accept
the proposition. Some one agreed 10 the

Meanwhile, detectives from louisiana,
Missouri and Wisconsin applied for him.
He was known as a rObber in all OF those

ties are to be performed, and shall give his

Comptroller Knox.
Mr.. Beck sent to the clerks desk and
had read, letter from the Comptroller of
the Currency in defense of the comptroller
against the allegations made by Mr.. Beck
yesterday in reference to the undistributed
national bank currency. Mr.. Beck said he
caused the letter to be read because the
comptroller could not be heard in his own
defense. He (Beck) maintained that the
comptroller had not administered the law.
The fifty-four millions in his hands ought
to have been distributed TO the States
which had not received their proportion.
The comptroller had been circulating the
speeches of members on the financial ques-
tion, and had gone out Of his way time and
again in the interest Of the rich moneyed
aristocracy of the East and to the injury of
the people Of the West and South.
What's Wanted.
Mr.. Dawes replied to Mr.. Beck, and said
the Eastern States had come by their excess
Of bank circulation because the West and
South would not take it, having found
more profitable investment of money else
where. If it was necessary for proper
distribution of currency that twenty-five
millions be withdrawn from New England,
New York and New Jersey, they would not
object. They desire two things: They de-
sire free banking on the basis of greenbacks
at par. They did not desire to bring green
backs to par by such contraction as would
make the holder of the greenbaek pay the
difference between present value and par
value. he desired that the government
should pay that difference. The govern
ment had made the promise and forced the
people to take it. Government, and nobody
else, had deprecated it. Government, and
nobody else, should pay the difference.
Government had not the gold to pay the
difference. Government should say, as an
honest man would say, L will do the next
best thing. will exchange for the green
backs have forced you to take, government
Londs bearing such an interest as will make
it par, and then the government should

States.

and without disposition to talk, meeting
all such attempts with vociferous shouts of

bill increasing the office hours of the de-
partments from 6 to was struck out ON
motion OF Mr.. Lawrence.
At last the consideration of the bill was
concluded and the committee rose. The
main question was ordered and the House

Thirty-One Millions of Mexican

ahat the motion heretofore made by the
agent of the United States TO dismiss and
reject this claim. be allowed, and the claim
was accordingly rejected. This was test
case of a class known as 'Indian depreda-

aggregate of which amounted to some
S31,0OO,O00. Mexico asserted the liability
of the United States mainly by reason Of
certain provisions Of the old treaty Of peace
Of 1913. The United States, through their
agent, maintained that if any liability at
tached te them undes that treaty on this
account, such liability was released by the

No Notable Change i'm the Situ-
alton.
Brooks Rejects All Overtures.


LITTLE Rock, April 25.-The has been
little change in the situation to-day. The
truce between both parties was put an end
to to-day, Yesterday Baxter, through his
representatives, made propositions to oBroOks
to leave the final determination of theques-
ton between them to a competent tribunal,
and in the meantime both forces should be
retired except body guard for each. These
proposals Mr.. Brooks last night refused to
accede to, whereupon all negotiations were
ended, and matters remain now where they
did one week ago, except that Gov. Baxter
has convened the Legislature, the meeting
of which body Brooks is opposed to.
Gen. t. j. Churchill was to-day assign
ed to the command of the middle division
of Gov. Baxter's forces and Brigadier-Gen-
eral Ira Mel. Barton promoted to Major
General, and assigned 10 the command of
the Eastern, Division. Brig. w. D.
Blecher was assigned to the immediate
command Of the forces on duty in Little
Rock. Neither party has dismissed any
forces during the past twenty-fOur hours.
The Federal troops are stationed at the
Metropolitan, at City Hall and at the corn
er of Main and Fourth streets, with two
pieces Of artillery at the intersection of
Louisiana and Second. Gov. Baxter has
increased his force one or two companies.
Secretary of State johnson has not yet
received any reply to his communication to
Books, ordering him out of his Office at the
Statehouse. Preparations are still going on
to resist an attack.
Martial Law.
News from Pine Bluff tonight says Brig.
Gen. A. II. King, (white,) of Baxter's
forces, to-day declared martial law in JEFF
