SAN JOSE, Costa Kica, March 29.-The
Government has deemed it necessary 20 re-
sort to extreme measures In order to restore
the country to a normal condition. Promi-
nent merchants and fnanciers have been
invited TO confer with the President and the
Cabinet regarding the depression OF paper
money and the disappearance of the coun-
try's coin. 1t was decided that restriction
law as to expectation of the latter must be
passed Immediately. The official organ, La
GaZette, explains the difficulties of the situ-
ton by saying that exchange on the United
States and Europe has gone up to the tre-
mendous premium of 130 per cent as a con-
sequence of large importations and
scarcity of the principal exportable eommo-
dity, viz coffee.

graphic report that the comprador of that

fund of Sc. 6.500.000 and paid-up capital of
S10.000.000 The comprador is Chinaman
and the superintendent of all the Chinese
business. Men who occupy these positions
are placed under heavy and substantial
bonds, so that doubt whether the bank
will sustain any very great loss. The
shares are not quoted in America at all, and
if they are suffering at all on the London
market it is simply because it is fancied
that the comprador's alleged defalcations
may influence the amount OF dividends To
be declared. and not because it affects the
stability or the Institution. We hope to
get some news of the affair by the mex.

went so far as to charge Neitleton with
making q false statement, and Nettleton
resented it in strong language. A still more
sensational turn was given the inves tigatiOn
shortly afterward when Nettleton read a
letter severely rejecting on the Superin-

that Owen was incompetent, thoroughly
untrustw orthy, guilty OF circulating mali

The Speaker laid before the House CON-

he had sent his resignation TO the Governor
OF Texas to take effect to-day.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the free wool bill.
Harter Of Ohio reopened the debate on the
bill with a speech In favor OF the measure.
Direct taxation was the only proper method
of raising money. Indirect taxation was
unjust and wrong. Since the beginning Of
the Government Of this nation the free trade
OF the country had created the enormous
prosperity OF our land. We now have alb
solute free trade between the States. Re-
viewing the history OF the tariff policy OF
the Republican party he said the Mckinley
bill was iniqutous. aud as evidence OF this
he cited the business depression of the
present day.
Boutelle Of Maine inquired IL the gentle
man did not know that there never was a
time in our history when our people were
more prosperous than they are to-day.
Harter replied that the prosperity Of the
people OF this country was not as great as
when the Revolutionary War closed
Boutelle-A man who thus plants himself
on record OF l25 years ago is so hopelessly
in arrears that l would not attempt to bring
him up in one day. [Laughterl
Harter then proceeded with his speech,
and said the true American system was
that OF 1916. where the taxes were placed
upon the people for the revenue Of the Goy-
