COINAGE COMMITTEE.
Silver Expected TO Fare Well at
Their Hands.

New YORK, December pa special
dispatch from Washington referring to
the makeup of the House Coinage Com
miitee, Gays a reporter endeavored to
learn the leanings ofthe members, but
several of them were cut OF the city and
could not be seen personally. Carter,
Bsrtine, Bland and Joseph are for the
free coinage of silver; the latter, how
ever, has no vote on the committee as he
is delegate and not representative,
but his influence will; be felt. Williams
is said to be very strong silver man,
though not committed to unlimited coin
age as yet. Those who believe in silver,
though not its free coinage, are Conger,
Wckham, Comstock and Taylor.
Mutchler is conservative, but rather
friendly than otherwise. The anti silver
men are Walter, Knapp, Tracey and
Wilcox This is much stronger silver
committee than was anticipated from
Reed, and it is reasonable to expsct from
it Legislation of an advanced character.

MEXICAN MATTERS.
Excitement Over the New GOvcrn-
Ment Loan.


CITY OF MEXICO, December 22.-The
announcement of the success of Mexi.
can loan created considerable excitement.
The press took up the question and de-
manded an explanation from the Govern
ment, which had been denying that
negotiations for loan were on foot. Now
the official gazette says it is true the
Government negotiated loan, but it is
intended for the construction of the
Tehuantepec railroad. The loan was
placed in different European money
centers, and in Germany was taken ten
times over.
On the Monterey and Gulf railroad
work is progressing rapidly. The officials
of the Mexican railroad to Vera Cruz say
the Inter.oceanic Railroad is not hunting
their business.
An English company recently made
an offer for the Government telegraph
lines, which was refused. The same
company now asks for the concession OF
line to the Guatemalan frontier, with
branches through the country east and
west. It also proposes to establish lines
throughout Central America.

her that would like to state:

put them in easy circumstances.

and it Is the hardest thing in the world to get
her to accept the smallest favor. her self-help-
fulness and independence being strong points

She owns her house. and paid for il every

that amount will 90. Katharine does not care
for distinguished honors, and modestly dis
claims all title to such, but the sketch was true

Doings OF GeorEe HAZARD, an Ex-Hoosier,
I'm California.
George Hazard, who few years ago got
great deal of notoriety at Auburn and
other places in this state on account OF his
struggles with officers of the law and courts,
has turnedupin California, where heseems
to have become in a short time, almost as
notorious as he was here. The Los
Angeles Times devotes a column to the
career of the ex-Indianian in that
state, and makes him out very bad
man. At present, according to the Times,
Hazard is under indictment at Los Angeles
for embezzlement, having swindled quite
a number of firms out of considerable
sums of money. As soon as the indict-
ments were returned against him he went
to Tacoma, w. T. He was placed under
arrest in that city, but Immediately applied
for writ OF habeas corpus, and as yet the
officers had not been able to return him to
Los Angeles. The Times says that before
Hazard came to Los Angeles he led a
career of crookedness in San Francisco.
Hazard, as many people will remember,
had a long struggle with the courts in
Indiana for crookedness in his business as
banker.
