End of the Famous War ship Brooklyn.
The decision to sell the Brooklyn, un-
der the regulation prohibiting the repair
of vessels that will cost more than a
fixed percentage of the expense of CON
structing new ones, will strike from the
naval register a historic craft. Built a
little over thirty years ago in the city
from which she took her name, the
Brooklyn began her career under Farra-
gut as her captain. She made a fine
record in the civil war, including not
only plenty of blockading, but participa.
ton in many of the great naval battles,
among them the engagement with Forts
jackson and st. Philip, the fight in Mo-
bile bay and the bombardment of Fort
Fisher.
In these battles she was conspicuous
for close work with the enemy. At the
great Mississippi river fight she was
rammed by the Confederate armorclad
Manassas, but escaped without injury,
and Immediately drove the barbette gun
ners from Fort st. Philip by her tremen-
dous fire. She was the flagship of the
squadron that ven further up the river
and received the surrender of Baton
Rouge and Natchez. At Fort Fisher she
led the first line of vessels in the second
and successful attack, and in the earlier
operations had set a good example to
some smaller vessels. Now she meets
the fate of many another relic of the
war, but fortunately the still more re
nowncd Hartford and Kearsarge remain.

A Bankers Bullion Scheme.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Johu Jay Knox
has prepared a bill which will be intro
duced in congress soon, the principal OBJ
ject OF which is to provide for the use Of
silver bullion as a basis for the national
bank circulation. The bill provides that
after the passage of the act every national
bank will be authorized to issue circula-
ting notes in an amount not exceeding rs
per cent of the bank capital stock. Not
less than 10 per cent of this circulation
shall be secured by United States bonds,
or at the option of each bank one-half of
said 10 per cent may be secured by a de-
post with treasurer under regulations
to be prescribed by the secretary OF the
treasury of gold coin or bullion, or silver
bullion at the current market price.
Whatever market or cash value the
bullion and United States bounds depos-
tied is reduced below the amount of cir
c~ulation issued the comptroller of the
treasury may demand such depreciation
in other bullion or in gold and silver com
to be deposited with the treasurer as long
as such depreciation shall continue or the
amount of the circulating notes of such
bank may be reduced by charging the
excess OF the circulation to the redemption
fund. An account to be designated The
National bank safety fund" is authorized
to be opened on the treasurer's books by
reducing the amount Of United States
notes now outstanding 81, 500, 900 and by
reducing the national bank redemption
fund the same amount and crediting three
million dollars to the safety fund.
To said fund shall be added a duty of
one-halt of one per cent each half year
upon the average amount of the national
bank notes in circulation. If any ma
tlonal bank becomes insolvent and any of
the circulating notes remain unpaid after
the assets and individual liability of the
share holders is exhausted such clrculat-
ing notes shall be redeemed, cancelled
and DESTROYED and the amount charged to
the safety fund.
MIR. Knox estimates that at the end of
the next twenty years, or at the date of
the payment of the 4 per cent bonds in
1907. the safety fund would have accu
INFLATED at least $25 600. 900, so that frora
that time onward a sufficient amount of
national bank circulation would remain
permanently in existence, well secured by
gold or silver bullion, and sufficiently
profitable to make the present amount of
United States notes to respond to the de-
mands OF the business OF the country.
1t would also give the banks in the
west, as well as in the east, who have
confidence in the future value of silver,
an opportunity to invest in that metal,
and he belieyed such investments would
be made for the next three years, equal
at least to $50, 600, 900 annually, and thus
relieve the treasury from excessive pur-
chasas

husband of the woman found smothered
to death in beu Friday morning, took an
ounce of aconite and gashed his wrists
and throat with a razor. Doctors were
summoned and staunched the flow of
blood, as the iugular vein had not been

dose Of a~conite, it acted as an emetic and
was all thrown off. The doctor is out of
danger. He says he attempted his life
because he was discouraged, that the
