Apparently IrreconciIable Differences Be-

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The Senate finance
committee is apparently as far as ever from a
conclusion as to what it will report in regard to
the bank and bond questions. There appear to be
well nigh irreconcilable differences of opinion
among members of the committee Meanwhile
the House banking and currency committee is
getting ready to consider bills relating to ma
tional banks. Mr. Hunt Of Louisiana, a Demo
cratic member of the committee, will at the
meeting of the committee tomorrow, ask action
on the resolution declaring it to be the sense of
the committee that the public welfare demands
that the benefits of the national banking system
he substantially preserved and continued for the
time being 1t is understood that a majority of
the committee are in favor of this resolution
Its adoption will be the preliminary step toward
framing bank bill. Senator Ald1ich's PROPOSE
ton for refunding fours and threes is the only
one of the kind now before the finance commit
teee. Mr.. Sherman's plan was voted down to-
day. The Aldrich plan goes over to the next
meeting for discussion.

A JAILER ASSAULTED.
Ten Prisoners in the St. ClairSville Jail Attack
and Seriously Injure Turnkey.

WHEELING W. Va, Jan 22,-Shortly after 6
o'clock this evening, jailer W. S. Colby went
into the main corridor of the Belmont county
Jail, at st. Cairsville, O., to inspect the cells
before locking up for the night. One of the
prisoners locked in cell asked for a-drink of
water and the jailer handed it to
him, several prisoners caught his arms
and held him while one of the prisoners,
named Cass took his revolvers. They all then
began beating Colby knocking him down and
kicking him brutally. A small boy confined in
cell, raised an alarm when Cass threatened to
shoot him. He hid in corner under a bed and
kept up bowling, which attracted the attention of
domestic in the jailers family and she closed
and locked the outer door. The ten prisoners
then climbed through the sky-hght
on the roof, but the girl had given the alarm and
citizens had gathered, Promscuous firing was
begun at the prisoners. and they retreated into
the Jail and were secured in the cells. Colby
was found lying in the corridor, nsensible, and
with serious wounds his person from the
kicking he received. He was revived, but the
extent of his injuries is not yet known.

Representative Potter, of New York to substi-
tute per cent twenty fve-year bonds for the

House committee on banking and currency to-

claring that the public welfare demands that the
benefits of the National banking system be sub
stantially preserved and continued for the time
being. The resolution was informally discussed
but action taken.

notes going out of existence. The bill has not
been considered by the committee A member
said to-day that expressions of opinion regarding

wants of large number of active buyers,
among whom were Henry Warner, Cudahy 6

breathing spell given the New York Stock
Board by the bears, some buoyancy was in
jected by claims that the visible supply of wheat
would show dimnution of over a million bush

"bulling" grain in order to help provisions to ad
vance enough for them to unload some of their
large stock. The falling off in the supply of
hogs is attracting much attention, and packers
are commencing to talk about reducing their
forces and shutting down to a large degree

Proposed Reduction of Postage Transient
Newspapers and Drop Letters.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The House postofice
committee to-day adopted the recommendation
of Postmaster general Gresham by approving
the bill fixing postage on transient newspapers
and periodicals at one cent for three ounces
The probability is that the committee will decide
to reduce postage on drop letters to one cent
Commenting on these propositions and others
pending in Congress, a prominent official of the
Postofice Department said this evening that
there was serious danger of going too far in the
matter of reductions. He said that the transac-
tions of the office for the first half of the present
year show postal deficiency of over So 500 OOO
and that the deficiency would be larger during
the latter half of the year. The prospect is that
it will be between six and seven millions for the
YEAR
