be divided between the friends and opponents Of
the measure. This led to considerable discus
sion, and Mr. Hiscock argued that inasmuch
as the Democrats had brought this bill in as a
party measure, the Republicans could not agree
to any arrangement which would prevent them
from opposing the bill at any stage Leading
Republicans of the committee say that their
party has nothing to lose and much to gain by
free and full discussion of the bill, and the re
suit was that the committee came to no agree
ment upon the course of discussion in the House,
much to the disappointment of Mr.. Morrison. 1t
is urged by some of the Republicans that. while
seeking alliance with either faction of the
Democratic party in the House, the Republicans
must refuse, absolutely, to consent to any ar
rangement which shall give the Morrison
bill temporarily a parliamentary standing
to which it is not entitled by virtue
of the Democratic vote alone Those Repubi-
cans, however, who are anxious for some dis
cussion, believe an arrangement can be made
when. after general debate is closed, the Repub-
icans will be recognized for a motion to strike
out the enacting clause. Such motion, if car
lied, would of course, kill the bill practically;
however, the same end may be attained without
general debate. AS soon as the bill is reached
in committee of the whole, any Republican
member may object to its consideration. If the
committee of the whole sustains the objection,
it must rise and report to the House; then yea
and nay vote may be taken, and pronounced
majority against consideration of the bill must
be regarded by its friends as quivalent to its de
feat for this session at least

AN ABSURD STORY,
The Theory Advanced by Colonel Cook that

The Theory Advanced by Colonel Cook that
Guiteau Had Accomplices.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WAsNINGToN, March 13.-Ex- District Attor-
ney Corkhill, in an interview to-day, exploded
the theory of Colonel Cook, who testified before
Mr.. Springer's committee that Guiteau had ac-
completes because he was seen with them some
time before the shooting of Garfield, in a second
hand store, trying to buy pistol. Copkhill said
the matter to which Cook referred was an aflida-
Wit made by an obscure second dealer that
Guiteau, with some ether persons, had been in
his store previous to the assassination inquiring
concerning the purchase of revolvers He re-
peated the language used by the person whom
he supposed was Guiteau. The incident was
published at the time, and the next day or few
days afterwards, received letter from the
late William Fl. Copeland, journalist who was
then at Long Branch, in which he said that the
interview in the second hand dealers store was
an interview with him and a friend who went in
there for the purpose of looking at some pistols
as he was expecting to make a trip to Mexico
and wanted to buy pistol. In his letter Cope
land gave the time of the interview and gave
exactly the language used. On investigation it
was conclusively shown that there was nothing
in the story beyond what was stated by Cope
land

MINOR MENTION.
Proposed Plan for the Creation of COntin-
gent Redemption Fund.

Proposed Plan for the Creation of COntin-
gent Redemption Fund.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-A committee, repre-
senting the Associated National Banks of eastern
Pennsylvania to-day presented the House com
mittee on banking and currency the following
plan for relief from the consequences of the
rapid payment of three per cents: First, create
a contingent redemption fund from the surplus
remaining of the per cent. tax on circulation,
after paying the expenses Of the nauOnalbank
system, and to this add the gain from lost bank
notes. Second, make the per cent. reserve
fund now required to be deposited and continu
ously maintained with the United States Treas
urer liable for the redemption of any part of the
circulation of any insolvent national bank,
if its resources and the proposed contin-
gent redemption fund should prove insufficient.
This practically substitutes for the bond deposit
the mutual or united guarantee of all national
banks. In submitting this plan the committee
called attention to the fact that
of 3,G70 national banks organized
since 1868 only eighty nine have gone
into the hands of receivers These paid their
circulation in full, and average of 70 per cent
on all other Indebtedness; thirty six of them pay
ing in full. If no bonds had been. pledged and
nopreferences given notes over other liabilities,
averaged less than $40, 900 annually, while the
net annual yield proposed by the contigent re-
demption fund would have amounted to So, 3O0,
600, or more than twenty two times the amount
necessary to provide for the loss The losses
hereafter should not be greater than heretofore.

The flattsmouth Journal charges that
the managers of tho park where the
home club played last week gouged
them out of their portion of the receipts,
and pictures the feeling of the boys in
the following:
'Although q fair crowd was present at
each game the total gate receipts were
SAT, due to the fact that a large proper
ton of the spectstors entered on season
But this is not all. When the last game
was over, and when the boys had but a
moments left them in which to catch the
train for home, they went to the mana
ger of the park to settle up.
This important parsonage figured
up the receipts al SAT, and the
boys were just preparing to pocket half
of that sum when the manager informed
them that he had spent $24 in advertising
the games, So for Redistribution of them
by small boys, and the remainder for To-
cal in the papers. 1t was evident that he
had a gouge game prepared for tho boys
and when they got away from him they
were inclined to be thankful for
even the $l1 DO they were award
ed for their share Of the
three days' games. They had begun to
fear that he would figure it aome way SO
as to bring them out i'll debt to him. The
Plattsmouth nine and their friends came
away very warm, and are determined to
advertise their treatment by the park
management that no other club in the
