Otis Wants Fifteen Hundred Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The financial
theories of the third party were empha-
sized today i'll bill introduced by Mr..
Otis, of Kansas. having the voluminous
title, "ro change our monetary system,
reduce interest, fix the unit of value,
supply the states with circulating me-
dunn and for other purposes" The bill
is amendatOry to one introduced at the
last session. 1t fixes the dollar as the
unit of value, and declares that all paper
money mentioned in the act shall be abb
Selute upon its face and not in the form
of promise. All money specified shall
be full legal tender. provided that frac-
tiOnal currency shall be legal tender as
such to the amount Of $5 in any one
transaction. In addition to the provis-
ions for free coinage III the previous
bill, this measure provides that the
money paid for the bullion in the
treasury shall be covered into the treas
ury as a part of the general reserve
fund"
Immediately upon the passage of this
act the secretary of the treasury is re-
quired to have coined all the gold and
silver bullion in the hands of the gen
eral government for any purpose; and
to have prepared at as early date as
possible $1,000, 900. 100000 of paper

GIBBONS DIPLOMACY.
Perfect Understanding Between
the American Cardinal and
Rgr. Satolii.
SatoIli Given His Powers at the
Earnest Request of the
Cardinal.

BALTIMORE, Dec. Cit may be stat
ed, upon the authority of close friends
of Cardinal Gibbons, that he and Mon
signor Satolli have perfect under
standing about the duties to be per-
formed by the latter in this country.
The impression prevails in clerical cir
cles here that Cardinal Gibbons request
ed the pope to send Monsignor Satolli to
America to investigate the troubles re-
Sulting from Cehenslyism and the dis
pute between Archbishop Corrigan
end DIR. McGlynu. The cardinal is a
diplomat, not an autocrat. He had
quietly investigated the matters of a
contest, and arrived at the conclusion
that the only way to prevent an open
rupture, which might even lead to a
division in the American church, was
to have the disputes arbitrated or ad-
Indicated by special emissary from
the Vaticun, whose recommendations
or decisions could not be construed as
showing any partiality to either side.
Mgr. Satolli will take no action without
consulting the cardinal, and first re-
porting to the pope.
Mgr. Satoll. as he himself says, has
been empowered by the pope to investl
gate and decide without appeal the eX-
iStlng controversy; but it was on Cardi-
nal Gibbons advice that he was vested
with his power. and whatever DISPOSE
ton is made of the cases of DR.. Nc
Glynn and Father Corrigan, the cardi-
nal's opinion will not be overlooked.
AT recent conference between Cardi-
nal Gibbons and Mgr. SatOlli, in this
city, the former explained the whole
situation to the latter, and the plan of
trial and settlement of the troubles was
agreed upon. The above is the view
taken of the matter in the inner circles
of the church. Cardinal Gibbons wants
it to be understood that Mgr. Satolli's
power in the matter is supreme. There
is perfectly satisfactory understanding
between the pope and the primate Of the
American hierarchy.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Dec. 6.-Bishop
McQuad, of the diocese of Rochester,
said to an Associated Press reporter to-
day in reference to the power con-
ferred upon Mgr. Satolli by the pope:
THE appointment simply confers
upon Mgr. Satoli the powers of apOs
tOlic delegate. Authority of the same
nature, though, perhaps, not so great in
its extent, has been conferred upon
American bishops many times before
this. In many cases where particulars
are to be obtained by the pope with eX-
treme difficulty, the cases have been re-
ferred to some delegate, whose decision
in the matter was final. | don't look
upon the recent appointment as any
thing out of the ordinary rule that /
have explained"

BISMARCK. n. D., Dec. 6.-The mo-
mentous question Of the electoral vote
of North Dakota was settled today by the
official returns. Rondesvedt. the fusion
elector, who it was said at the Demo
cratic state convention at Fargo in Sep
tember would cast his vote in the elect
oral college for Grover Cleveland, leads
the ticket and is elected by plurality of
164 over Wamberg, Republican, who is
elected by 16 majority, and Clark,
Republican. by 8 majority. The
vote stands Rondesvedt, fusion. 1860;
Wamberg. Republican, 17,486; Clark,
Republican, 17,473 ; Williams, fusion,
17.470; Burnett, fusion, 17,461; Teager,
Republican, 17,43O. The result, how
ever, is tainted with suspicion of un-
fairness. The Republican returning
board of Emmons county threw out
Sulz precinct, which cast 6S Democratic
and Republican votes, reversing the
result in the county and partially re-
versing it in the state. The vote for
Shortridge for governor was 1868;
Burke, 17,203. All the other Populist
candidates were elected except secre-
tary of state, the vote on which was:
Dahl, Republican, 1929; Peabody, fu-
sionist, 1856.

Proposed Removal of the Head

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-The international

session here this morning. But little
business was transacted most of the
day being spent in discussion among
members of matters to be hereafter
acted upon. The most important
question to come up is the ques-
ton of abolishing Sunday shaving.
1t has already been practically agreed
to petition state Legislatures to enact a
law looking to this end, and an en-
deavor will be made to enlist the SYM
pathy of other labor organizations to
urge members of legislatures to assist
them. The removal of the headquarters
of the international union from St.Paul
to ST. Louis is proposition that seems
popular among the delegates now here.
1t will be strongly advocated by the
local BARRIERS, and it is probable that it
