ther Issues of Notes.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-Unless Congress acts
speedily upon recent communications of
the Secretary of the Treasury touching
the necessity for making an appropriation for
printing United States notes, considerable in
convenience is likely to result to public and
private business. The custom has been to keep
in reserve, ready for any emergency $75, OOO,0 900
and upward in United States. notes. This reserve
forms no part of the treasury liabilities and is
taken up in the cash account only when issued
in exchange for like amounts of mutilated notes
redeemed and Cancelled. The amount thus held
reserve has been reduced to less than $1S 600 000
of which only about ST., 900 are in one-dollar
notes. The bulk of the remainder is made up of
denominations of twenties, ffties, hundred
and one th0usand-dollar notes. The number of
twenty notes is comparatively small; the
supply of one-dollar notes, and of two five and
ten-dollar notes, is entirely exhausted. There
seems to be strong opposition to making the ap
preparations asked by the Secretary The advo-
Gates of the silver dollar particularly viglant
in regard to this matter, and will do all in their
power to delay and defeat a further appropria-
ton of money for printing United States notes Of
low denominations, hoping by this course to
force into circulation large number of silver
dollars.
The committee on banking and currency have
bill to prohibit the further issue of treasury
and national bank notes of less denomination
than $40, and an effort will be made by Mr..
Buckner, author of the bill and chairman of the
committee, to get the measure before the House
for early action. This bill not only prohibits the
further issue of denominations less than $40, but
directs the Secretary of the Treasury to cancel
and destroy all paper issues below $40 they
are received in the treasury, and in their stead
to pay out an equal amount of larger denomina-
tons 1t further provides that not more than
20 per cent in value of future gold coinage shall
consist of double eagles, and the remainder of
the gold coinage shall consist of ten, five, and
wo-and-one-half dollar pieces.

Senators Who Provide Good Places for Their
Relatives.

Senators Who Provide Good Places for Their
Relatives.
Special to Philadelphia Press.
Much adverse criticism is caused by the fact
that certain senators have provided places in the
departments and in the Senate for members of
their families among those senators who have
found positions for their relatives at the Capitol
are Senator Harris of Tennessee, who has one
son employed as a clerk in the secretary's office,
at an annual salary of So 220 and another as
clerk to his committee on epidemic diseases, at
per diem salary of So. The Senator receives So 900
as his salary. One son. before stated, gets s. 220
and on an average of seven months for the long
session and three for the short session. the other
son receives 81, 800, making $9 200 as the annual
government income of the Harris family,
Whether this thrifty senator has any other
relatives employed in the departments at Wash
ington is not known. Senator Mahones son re-
ceives his Sc per day from the committee
pubic es.'i'dngs and grounds and, before his
father was gwen the chairmansEip of that com
mittee, he received the SAM compensation as
clerk to the committee ON agriculture. Senator
McMillans son is clerk 10 the committee ON cC"
merce, the annual salary of which is 50 220 Sen
ator Lapham's son is clerk of the committee
woman suffrage, of which his father is chair
man. and he draws from the treasury in the
neighborhood of s., 800 each Congress. Senator
George has a son who is assistant keeper of sta
tionery in the Senate at salary of 81, 800. The
clerk of the committee engroSsed bills is t.
H. Salisbury and it is presumed that he is
mote of kin to Eli Salisbury, of Delaware, who
is chairman of that committee
1t is said that relatives of several senators
have been provided with places under the Door
keeper and Sergeant-at-arms of the House One
of Senator Congers sons is now postmaster in
Washington while another is drawing per diem
pay and travelling expenses as a special agent of

To the Western Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-At the meeting of the
House committee on public lands, this morning
consideration was given to the argument Mr.
Pryor made yesterday in favor of the transfer of
the Texas Pacific land grant to the Southern
Pacific. The subcommittee in charge of the
forfeiture of land grants to railroads was directed
to report bill declaring the land grant forfeited
The report will be made to the full committee
TO morrow. 1t is based on the grounds that the
Fexas Pacific company did not comply with any
of the requirements of the act granting the land,
and that the Southern Pacific had defeated the
building of the Texas Pacific for the purpose
OF preventing competing line with the Central
Pacific. The object of Congress in making the
grant, the committee says was to secure rival
line from San Diego to the East
A request from the attorney of the Ontona-
gon State-line road in Michigan asking that a
delay of two weeks be granted in which time he
might be heard, was referred.
Tomorrow the attorneys of the Oregon Cen
trail will be heard. Notmore than two attorneys
are allowed to speak, each having one hour.
At the meeting of the Senate finance commit
tee, to-day, Mr.. Sherman proposed an important
amendment to his own bill designed omeet the OBJ
lection to the measure He proposed to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury issue national
bank notes up to 80 per cent of the face value of
three per cent bonds deposited for security for
circulation. Where higherrate bonds were de-
posted, he proposed to compute the interest
above 3 per cent, and allow circulation to the
amount of 80 per cent. for the aggregate
interest over per cent. for the whole
time that such bonds have to run Thus,
four-per-cent bonds, having twenty three
years to run, being deposited as security for cir
culation, would entitle the bank depositing them
to receive currency at the rate of $ll0.7 70 for
each 800 bond dcposited-that being 80 per
cent. of the face value and 80 per cent. addi-

Discussion in the Senate the Mexican
Reciprocity Treaty.


Reciprocity Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate, in execu-
tive session, resumed consideration of the Mexi
can treaty The proposition to sit with open
doors was defeated by small majority. The
opponents of the ratification raised the question
of the power of the Senate under the Constitu
ton, to take action which will be in effect mod
ifcation of the revenue laws. They argued that
such action required the concurrence of the
House. They also said, in opposition to the
treaty, that the Mexican people were simple in
habits, the country was thinly inhabited, and,
at best, afforded a very limited market for
manufactures. The friends of the treaty
replied at considerable length meeting the CON
stitutional objections with precedents and point
ing out the advantages to be reaped by recipro-
cal trade relations The cultivation of coffee
in Mexico would be stimulated and the price to
the American consumer greatly reduced thereby.
Coffee, to be sure, was now upon own free
list, but because Of that there was heavy ex-
port duty placed upon it. and this would in time be
taken off in order to compete with the product
of Mexico. Then the spread of the gospel and
the highest forms of civilization were among the
things not to be disregarded ir considering the
matter. No action was taken.
