WARRINGTON, Dec. 9.--Introducing his
financial measure to-day Senator Plumb
gave notice that if the elections bill was not
disposed of at an early day he would move
to lay it aside for the time being in order
that the bill just introduced by him and
all other measures relating to the financial
condition of the country may be consid-
cred. The bill in brief is as follows: That
the compulsory requi rement Of deposits of
United States bonds with tho treasury by
the national banks be limited to 81 600 for
each bank. This applies to the deposits OF
bonds to insure the public moneys; that
United States mint certificates shall be is
sued equal in amount to the national bank
notes retired since 1882 and hereafter re-
tired; that the present silver coinage law
shall be amended so as to direct thesecretary
of the treasury to purchase all silver bul-
lion offered at tho market price not to ex-
coed 81 for 37l.25 grains of pure silver and
issue treasury notes IN payment. When
the price is for six months in excess Of the
above figure the purchases to be suspended
and all coinage to be free, the bullion own
er to be privileged to receive standard dol
lars or treasury notes at their option. No
certlflcateS are to be issued, and those now
in use are to be replaced with treasury
notes. When the mints OF France. Belgium
and Italy are opened to free silver coinage
at the rntio of l5116 ounces of silver to one
ounce of gold, the president by proclama-
tion shall prohibit the further coinage of
the standard 412h grain dollar and receive
deposits Of silver bullion for coinage ut the
rate of 81 for 400 grains of pure silver, the
coin or treasury notes therefor to be issned
within year after the proclamation. The
new dollar to contain 4121a grains Of stan
dard silver, to be full legal tender and to be
coined at the rate Of not less than $780,
600 monthly until $500, 100000 is coined,
when the coinage is to be continued at the
discretion of the secretary, recoining the
present standard dollar and bullion on
hand. At the discretion Of the secretary he
may also cause standard silver bars to be
issued in the redemption Of United Stares
treasury notes at the rate Of 81 for 400
grains.
The amendment prepared by Plumb is
the same in terms az the bill above describ-
ed and is offered in lieu of the Paddock bill
now on the senate calendar to amend the
statutes, to provide for the organization Of
national banks with less capital than $780,

SAYS MILES IS SCARED.
Tho Indian Bureau Not En- Rapport with
tho General.

WAsHINaroN, Dec. Especial. lit ID
apparent that the Indian bureau considers
Gen. Miles good deal Of an alarmist over
the situation in the Sioux country. The
veteran officials of the bureau, who know
pretty we'll how to handle Indians, declare
that Miles has stampeded the administra-
ton with his exaggerated reports Of the
condition of things among Sitting Bulls
followers. Said Acting Commissioner Belt
to-day: u think it ia all wrong to
issue extra rations Of beef to quiet
those fellows. II is good deal
like throwing carcass to tho wolves to
anne them. Those Indians reason that
once they got the extra beef by making an
uproar and they will do it again as soon 40
they can expect precisely the same results.
Az to the matter OF disarming them, that is
another absurtlity. Those Indians have
the finest Winchester rifles that money can
buy. Where did they buy them2 Not of
the Indian Office certainly. Every little
storekeeper all around the edges of the
reservations has been making money for
years by selling these Indians guns.
The blacksmith shops around the
reservations have driven hand
some little business since 1876 making
tomahawks. These are tho fellows who are
afraid Of being scalped and are making all
the outcry. II we take the guns and toma
hawks away from the Indians the grocery
stores and blacksmith shops will start right
in to sell the Indians more guns and moro
tomahawks. Another thing about this out
cry. The Sioux are not starving. Our
special agent who has Just made census,
going into all the cabins and teepees around
the agencies. says that everywhere he went
there was plenty to eat. We may have
serious trouble with those Indians, but
good deal Of il will be due to too much
talk"

 The worst case of "grip" that we have heard of thus far is that of young man who was taken while in Bridgeport last week, but being a stranger in the city he thought best to try and get home if possible, accordingly he pro- cured good-sized bottle of the best known "grip" remedy, and accompa- nied by companion he took the first train bound north, and of course took his medicine every fifteen minutes, as directed, his companion also taking an occasional dose as preventative, but the more he took the worse he got and suddenly the disease seized him and he seized his companion with a firm grip" ou his throat and for short time it seemed to be impossible for him to let go, but by the united effort of two or three of the passengers his ''grip" was finally broken, and his companion escaped, looking very much as though he had been through 8 cyclone. After hard struggle, which took two or three men to hold him, they succeeded in administering several goo ,-sized doses of tue remedy, which seemed to have soothing effect on him, and by the time he arrived at his destination he was as docile as lamb and as limp as u dishcloth. It Is cer- tainly wonderful what peculiar effect the disease has ou some of it's victims.
