Peeuliarit,es Of a Rich Nan.

1 The late Thomas Fl. Powers, of Phil
adelphia, was man Of very great gem
erosity, but peculiar in his manner Of
giving. Although every charity was
remembered, and many were supported
alone by him, he gave, as rule, com
paratively little in money. He used to
say to applying officials, Tell me what
you want In the way of supplies and I
will order 1t sent to you." He had
lately been erecting several costly
buildings, ssying not long before his
death, II believe 1t my duty to provide
work for the poor in this time Of gen.
eral distress. and therefore I build, al
though might find more lucrative in
vestments for my money" He is said
to have been always unsettled when he
went to lils office and discovered that
the bank surplus was less than $780,
QUO; it was a principle with him never
to have less than this amount at once
available; and it is added that when,
one day, he found that the balance was
SY9. $50, he became excited and declared
with emphasis that 1.-THE thing must
never occur again.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Referring to
the previous dispatch tonight, concern
Ing the joint congressional COMMITTEES
on army reorganization, the following
additional statements can be made on
very reliable authority: s
The majority of ths committee some
time ago agreed to recommend as the
main features of their report that the
total number of the rank and file of the
army be limited to twenty-five thous-
and men, and that the system of inter-
change in the ability of line and staff
officers be substituted for the present
system Of regular staff departments,
excepting the engineer department.
These features were agreed to, though
with some hesitation. by Senator Burn
side and Representatives White and
Strait, three of the four republican
members of the joint committee, Sem
ator Plumb the remaining republican
member did not attend any of the
meetings until yesterday. Meanwhile
many other republican senators and
representatives, receiving private
information of these unexpected con-
cessions made by Burnside, White and
Strait to the demands of their demo-
cratic colleagues on the committee, had
begun to protest very strongly, and re-
inforced this pressure with the en-
phatic declaration that no such extreme
ly radical measure should become law
if strenuous opposition could prevent
it.
Senator Plumb at the meeting to-day
took similar ground, and Messrs.
Burnside, White and Strait are UNDER
stood to have expressed an intention
to withdraw their previous assent to
several important provisions of the
above indicated sweeping character.
Thus the whole subject was re-opened
and an inharmonious session ensued.
The result cannot at present be ascer-
tained, but It seems no final agreement
was reached and that nothing positive
will be known concerning the forthcom-
ing bill until it ispresented to congress.
There is said to be considerable prob
ability, however. that majority Of the
committee will agree to compromise on
total of twenty-five to twenty-five
thousand men for the rank and file of
the army, and that material modifica-
tions will be made in the provisions con-
Al &C.

100000 This would leave about Sl1S,-
000, 900 in gold for resumption. Should
the amount of current greenbacks be
reduced, this amount would Of course
have an unfavorable effect upon busi-
ness transactions.
The money market during the week
has been active at intervals with an
advance In rates, with the bulk of bus
mess at 3@4 per cent. The specula-
ton in gold was active, and the price
declined to 1901, the closing price; gov
ernment bonds less active early in the
week, but closed frner; stocks, after
the same activity, closed depressed.
In coal stocks depression was caused
by the postponement of the question
of combination for the next year, and
rumor is freely circulated to-day that
next week a motion for receiver
would be made for one of the coal
companies.

A BIC SCHEME. = Whenever any
mysterious movement is made In gov
ernmental AFFAIRS the press is quick
to construct a theory to fill in the gap
Of information. As Commodore Schu-
feldt has been ordered on an extensive
cruise in the United States steamer
Ticonderoga along the coast Of Africa,
round to tile Indian ocean, thence
coasting Siam, China, and Japan, after
which be will return to San Francisco,
there must be an object in it. Well,
the New York Heralt of this morning
states that object. 1t is that Commo-
dore .Schufeldt is charged with extra
ordinary powers to make commercial
treaties with petty governments in the
interest Of the United States. Fur
thermore, Gen. Grant is invited to join
the TicondeIoxa at the mouth of the
Congo river, Africa. and is to become
the special adviser of Commodore
Schufeldt in all Of his diplomatic ac-
tions This is a beautiful theory and
seems plausible. The Ticonderoga will
sail sure enough, and, according to the
cable, Gen. Grant has accepted the
offer to take cruise on the steamer.
The rest may soon be developed. Com
modore Schufeldt says he win reach
San Francisco soon after the presiden-
tial election in 1880. But what Of

AS 10 Resumption n-sp.culations !,

As to Resumption on-Sp.cuiations.
New York, Dec. 7.-The question Of
the resumption OF specie payments is
attracting more attention as the time
draws near for this important event in
the history of the country. There is q
growing fear in the public mind that
resumption will not be accomplished
as smoothly as was generally expected
some time since. There are undoubt-
edly many contingencies that may arise
tending to disturb monetary affairs in
the operation Of passing from paper to a
gold basis, and there is an increasing
disposition among all classes to pursue
a very conservative policy pending the
solution of this great financial problem
This is particularly the case with those
thoroughly conversant with the finances
of Great Britain, where the efforts Of
the Bank Of England to resume were
not successful until after q financial
distress and panic had ensued.
The antagonistic position Of the New
York banks on the silver question has
produced an unfavorable impression on
the minds of many who, previous to
the action Of the clearing house, sup
posed that resumption would be an easy
matter.
The treasury now has about $685.
600. 900 in gold for resumption, with

New YORK is u big and influential
city, but it is positively belittling the
government to admit that she runs the
financial department thereof. The po-
sition of her bankers and capitalists is
such as to cripple the resumptive power

inexcusable policy of damning the sill
yer dollar. 1t is well for the psople
that there is little territory left in the
United States outside the island of
