banks to deposit per cent. bonds as security
for their circulation. Senator Hill says Sher-
mans bill is loselY drawn, and that it Is a
fraud, as it gives the holder of bonds an op-
portllnity to hold them or refund them at q
lower rate of interest. The Democrats are de-
termined to make stubborn fight for the
ceedit of getting through this legislature, and
they say there are Republicans in congress
who will help to put Sherman down.
It is reported that Bancroft Dayis is to sue.
ceed Hill as First assistant secretary OF state,
and that Secretary Hunt is to take Judge
Davis place on the bench of the court OF
claims.
Senator Cockrell, of the subcommittee to
investigate the expenditure Of the contingent
funds, and especially of the treasury, says they
are determined to make thorough, sweeping
and impartial investigation, and to publish all
they find out, no matter who it may
hurt. OF course there are those
who take some stock in the allegations
thst have been made against ex-Secretary, now
Senator Sherman, In connection with the ex-
penditure of the treasury contingent fund, and
the talk is tonight that Sherman Is not ex-
pecting money from the sub committee; that
Logan, q pronunced stalwart, and the two
Democrats make up majority, and II any
thing can be found against Sherman they will
bring it out.
The committee of the American Bar associa-
tion appointed to devise plan for expediting
the business Of the supreme court of the
United States are now in session. Three plans
are under consideration: First, the appoint
ment of additional justices and division of the
court into sections, each court to have defn-
ite class of cases; second, the establishment
of an intermediary court of appeals to the su-
preme court; third, to divide the country into
districts, and establish in each district an in
termediate court of appeals. The docket of
the court is more than three years In arrears,
and cases are constantly accumulating.

Pursuit of Hostile Scouts .

APACHE, Arizona, Dec. 14.-Having received
information that the hostile scouts are located
near Cibicu county, about twenty miles
from here, Gen. Carr sent troops of the Sixth
cavalry under Lieut's -Kingsbury and Hodge
son to try and surprise them. The in.
formation was to the effect that the hosilea
had been drinking tizwin, and in a drunken
row among themselves had killed one of their
number. The troops lett here the night OF
the 9th, and found the camp on a high hill,
commanding a view of every side and well
fortified with rocks. The camp was deserted,
the hostiles having evidently been apprised OF
dead body of an Indian, who was recognized
as one of Cruse's scouts, named McKeyJ

A Big Blaze Averted.

A spark of fire carelessly brushed from q
pipe or cigar early last evening almost re-
suited in serious blaze at Manufacturers new
and elegant block in course of construction on
the corner Of Third and Minnesota streets. A
few minutes before Z o'clock smoke was seen
to issue from the basement of the building,
and it was discovered to eminate from q mass
OF blazing rubbish in corner of the new
store.
A few minutes OF prompt and effective
work on the part OF several citizens sufficed
to extinguished the blaze, and what might
have been serious affair was averted. The
damage was only nominal, but from the fact
that the fire is supposed 10 have resulted from
carelesness, greater caution should be exer.
cised by those whose business calls them
where loose material and rubbish is plenty.

MISSISSIPPI IMPROVEMENT,

Meeting Of River Committee at st. Louis
An Important and Incisive Memorial
Adopted-A Sub Committee to Go to
Warrington.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 14.-The committee ap-
pointed by Mark Il. Dunnell, president of the
convention held in this city, and charged
with the preparation of memorial to con.
gress on the subject Of river improvement,
met in the Merchants Exchange reading room
this morning, nearly all the members being
present. Ex-Governor Stoddard, st. Louis,
ehairman' presided. A lengthy and elaborate
memorial, drawn up by the st. Louis mem.
bers OF the committee was presented to the
meeting, and after long discussion, during
which the whole ground ofriver improvement
was gone over, the memorial was adopted and
will be sent to ali members of congress.
The memorial discusses the question OF
cheap transportation, and shows its benefit,
and says that 500, ,00O, 900 have been given to
artificial highways, while not quarter Of
That sum has been given to rivers. Floods in
the lower valley have again destroyed more
than the whole amount given to rivers by
congress. Congress is not challenged for beng
so liberal TO artificial highways, as railroads
have largely built up and developed the coun.
try through which they pass, but more aid
should be extended to rivers. Figures are
given showing that with the improvement of
the mouth of the river the export trade in
grain OF st. LOus alone was more than doub.
led IN one year, and the same effects would re.
suit to the whole valley with permanent i'm.
provement Of the channel of the Mississippi
river.
Congress is thanked for the creation of the
river commission, and urged to go on in the
good work and appropriate tbs sums recon.
mended by the commission, and give it all the
power and authority to carry out the objects
for which it was appointed.
Ihe propriety of recommending appropria-
tlons for improving the upper Mississippi in
the dry season by the reservoir system, and the
special mention of the Ohio river in the
memorial, were freely discussed, but it was
finally decided to leave the memorial stand as
originally framed, and it was unanimously
adopted in that shape.
On motion it was directed to appoint COM
mlttee OF seven to take the memorial to Wash
ington. It was directed that the memorial
be briefed and sent to the various
produce exchanges, and cities and towns in
the valley for signatures, and copies of the en-
tire memorial be sent to absent members of
the committee for their signature.
1t was announced that Mr.. Walker, of Min.
neapolis, will commence the publication in st.
Louis, January Is, of a weekly paper, to be
called the Mississippi, which will be devoted
to the interests of the river.
Tonight the committee are partaking of q
banquet at the Southern hotel, given them by
the board of directors of the Merchants ex-
change, and royal good time is being had.

SOc0viLfe,s Lectures.

George Scoville, brother-in-law and counsel
for Guiteau, ,lectured tonight on the "Guiteau
Case" Though large number OF tickets
were sold, the audience was small, but hearth
ly applauded the lecturer
Scovlle promised his lecture with the re.
marks that he had not the least intention of
rejecting on the court trying to effect the
trial in any way. 1t was pubiic opinion he
desired to address himself, without endeayor-
ing to eXtenuate the crime or create feeling
in favor of the prisoner. He complained that
the press had not a,iisposition to give that force
and consideration to the defense which had
been interposed which ought be given. Not
only the press but the pulpit had prejudiced
the case. The pulpit condemned Guiteau on
the assumption that he was a sane man, and
yet not single minister of the gospel had
called on the prisoner in his cell, and not a
single letter had been seEt by them to him as
sane man calling on him to repent and turn
to God. (Applause). Nineteen-twentieths Of
the letters received by Guiteau were simple
threats against his life, and not more than
two or three breathed christian spirit.
He criticized the action of Judge Davis in
the recent murder case in New York, in going
outside of the case and instructing the jury
in tie Guiteau case and giving as law what
Judge Cox would not give if he (Scoville)
In the course of his remarks the speaker
said he was satisfied that he had good reason
the prisoner would not live until the conclu-
sion of his trial. He (Scoville) was
here to see that Guiteau had fair
trial under the forms of law, but
he was not here to guard the prisoner with
troopof soldiers. Let the responsibility rest
where it might, he gave this warning, and he
knew whereof he spoke. 1t was not for the
life of this man he gave it, but because he
would see order prevail, and because he did
not want the American people disgraced by
having man on trial for his life assassinated
like dog. The lecturer declared the great
est peril to the prisoner was in his pas
sage from the court room to the prison van,
and pointed out the danger that some despe-
rate man would stab the prisoner with dirk
and escape unharmed. 1t was not the prisoner
alone who was on trial. The question of cap
ital punishment was on trial, for he predicted
should Guiteau be hanged and post mortem
examination prove him to have been insane
it would be almost the last case OF capita
punishment in the country.
At the conclusion of the lecture Scovillt
was applauded, and resolutions were adopted
expressing sympathy with the family of the
prisoner and complimenting Scoville on th'
management Of the case.

Taking advantage of Il few spare
moments the first of this week, we called
upon Mr.. +. G. Williams at his studio
on second street, to ascertain rs far Us
We could, his ability for performing
what he claims and to examine his work
in the line of portrait painting.
We found the artist at home, sur
rounded with e;,scls, finished and I'M
finished pictures and all the parapher-
MALTA requisite in such a profession. We
ascertaincd that Mr.. Williams has pur.
sued his studies in one of the best art
schools in New York City for several
years, and has acquired thoroughness
of workmanship equal to the best
artists. His various specimens of work
in India ink and crayon, are very fine
and present none of that cheap, hal
finished appearance that we see so Otter
by travelling artists. He enlargcs from
photographs to any size desired an;
preserves every llneament in the original
His prices are moderate for the class O
work performed, and those who hav
any work they wish done in his line W
can assure them perfect satisfaction
But the best way is to go and see 70
yourself, in fact. Mr.. Williams desire
that all who feel interested in portal
painting, whether they want any work O
not, to call on him and see what he In
and is doing. He only remains in tn
city until fall when he will return t
his studies in New York City.
