WHITE HOUSE CLOSED.
The Quarantine Will Continue for
Three Weeks.

The Quarantine Will Continue for
Three Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The White
house is still in a state of quarantine
and bids fair to remain so for at least
three weeks to come. Red cards say
ing "Scarlet fever within" are conspicu-
Gus OIL the entrances to the private part
of the mansion on the first and second
floors, and the outside doors display
small notices to the effect that the
house is closed to the public. The Office
part of the building, however. is open
for business as usual and the presi
dent, Private Secretary Halferd and
their assistants will be found
at their desks by any one whose busi-
ness requires their attention. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that there are
very few visitors at present. The at
torney general was the only caller this
morning. and called to inquire after lit
tie Martena Harrison.~ There is no ma
terial change in her condition, and none
is expected until the disease has run its
allotted course. The attack is mild
one and gives no occasion for special
alarm. Benjamin and Marie Mckee
are still prisoners in the house. with
quarters rar distant from the sick cham
ber. and SO far have shown no Symp-
toms whatever of the fever. They have
been compelled to cancel all the holiday
engagements they had made with their
juvenile companions.

FRYE A PROPHET.
Two Years Ago He Predicted the
Panama Scandal.

Two Years Ago He Predicted the
Panama Scandal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Two years
ago. in speech at Portland, in bis own
state. Senator Frye prophesied a condi-
tion Of affairs in relation to the Panama
canal scheme that has been fulfilled al
most to the letter. In that speech Mr..
Frye said that time would show that the
whole scheme was corrupt and that
within year or to at least the light.
would be thrown upon 1t and the fate OF
the republic would tremble under the
shock. That condition exists today.
There has been some talk to the effect
that the Panama and the Nicaragua.
canal schemes are parallel. and that the
disaster that has Overtaken the French
people will cause public men in this
country to hesitate i'm giving their votes
to sanction the guarantee the Mica
ragua bonds, fearing that scandal
might result. Mr.. Frye can see nothing
of the kind, and is emphatic i'll his
declaration to that effect.
Said he:
"rhere is every good reason why this
ion over the Nicaragua canal and con-
troll all that is done there; and there is
no reason why any legislator should be
afraid to cast his ballot for the bill
which has this end in view. l believe
this me sure will pass the senate. but,
of course, such prediction cannot be
made as to the chances IN the house. 1t
can hardly be supposed that the bill
will meet with favor there, inasmuch
as 1t contemplates an expenditure of
public money. and such expenditure,
however merltorious, is opposed OH that
side OF the capitol"

sa ~ Committee. IA E8s

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-"Mr. Blaine
is as we'll as he was yesterday, and is
improving" This was said at 6 O'Clock
this evening, and DR.. Johnston had been
at Mr.. Blaine's bedside just twenty-five
minutes. This visit was the second the
doctor had paid to Mr.. Blaine
this afternoon, aud when his
attention was called to the fact,
he remarked that it had no
particular significance, in proof OF
which he said that he would not call
again this evening unless especially
summoned. The stream of inquiries as
to the state of Mr.. Blaine'S health con-
tinues, and to such an extent as to re-
quire frequent changes in the attend
ants at the door.
1t seems to be settled that Mr.. Blaine
will not leave Washington for some
months to come. even if in the mean
time his health should improve sutfi
ciently to warrant his removal. 1t is
also pretty we'll understood that while
Mr.. Blaine really shows marked lm-
provemcnt, as compared with his
condition very recently, he is still
very sick man-so sick that he can
only sit erect when lifted into that po
sitiOn and propped up with pillows.
At $50 O'clock this evening Mr..
Blaine was reported as resting easy,
and that his family anticipated for him
comfortable night. Shortly afterWard
the family retired.

NATIONAL BANK LEGISLATION.
Andrews Bill Will Be Greatly
Modified.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-The house
committee on banking and currency
will be called together soon after the
holiday recess to act on the bill intro
duced by Representative Andrew, of
Massachusetts,, proposing more liberal
legislation in behalf of national banks
and repeal of the silver bullion pur-
chase clause OF the Sherman act. Rep
resentaJive Bacon, of New York, said
today that, in his opinion, the commit
tee would report back the Andrew bill
with some notifications. The commit
tee held one meeting at which it con-
sidered this bill. Only bare quorum
was present. The members who did
not attend were substantially agreed ON
the bank features of the bill. but when
they came to the Sherman repeal sec
as there were so few members present,
did not attempt anything beyond an in
formal discussion of the situation.
The majority of the committee is dis.
posed to recommend the first section of
the Andrew bill, which authorizes ma
tlonal banks to issue circulating notes
up to the full par value OF United States
bonds deposited. Section 2 reduces the
amount of bonds required to be deposit
ed in the United States treasury by
banks to a merely nominal amount. This
section will have to be modified. as the
committee is hostile to it and believes in
requiring banks to deposit considera-
bic amount of bonds. Section relates
to the tax on circulation. The commit
tee is in favor of reduction of the rate
of tax on national bank circulation, but
is opposed to wiping out the tax entirely
OH the grOnnd that the banks should
bear their share of the expenses of the
system. Section repealS the Sherman
silver purchase provision, aud whether
this will get the favorable endorsement
of the committee or not cannot be pre-
dicted in advance of full committee
meeting.

DALTON's APPOINTMENT.
Attorney General Miller Strongly
DiSaDprOVeS of 1t,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. - Attorney
General Miller is somewhat disturbed
by the report that Bill Dalton. brother
of the notorious outlaws, has been ap-
pointed deputy United States marshal
at Coffeyville. Kan. He said today that
the first intimation he had received in
regard to the matter was when Senator
Vest alluded to it in his speech in the
senate last week. He had at once ap-
piled to the United States marshals in
Kansas and the Indian Territory for in
formation on the subject. at the same
time expressing his surprise and dis
approval at such an appointment, but so
far he had received 10 response from
either officer. He explained that the
department never interfered with mar
shals in the appointment of their depu-
ties unless there were special reasons
for 50 doing. but indicated very clearly
that he would not countenance the ap-
pointment of man of Dalton's stamp.
No further action will be taken until
the marshals have been heard from.

LITERARY RING.
Historical Documents Accessible

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Wash

ary ring i'll the state department which
holds control of all the valuable histor-
ical documents purchased by the United
States at public expense, and refuses ac-
cess to them except to a small cOterie of
New England historical writers. 1t
mentions specific instances where a
prominent Western writer has made
numerous efforts to obtain copies of
some of these documents, but has
always been repulSed, though armed
with orders from the leading state de-
partment officials.
The Post names prominent Massa-
chusetts congressman III connection
with this alleged ring and calls for an
investigation by congress.
Boston. Dec. q. = Congressman
Henry Cabot Lodge. referring to the
article in the Washington Post charging
that he with others had formed a con-
spiracy to prevent any but certain
clique of writers from gaining an access
to historical matter in the government
archives, said in an interview tonight
that the accusation was false. The arti-
Gle he alleges was written to injure his
chances Tor election to the senate.

coINACKERs' OPPORTUNITY.
Souvenir Half-Doliars Can Be
Easily COunterfeited,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Chief Drum
mond, of the secret service division, has
cautioned his agents to exercise all pos
sible scrutiny to prevent any counter
feitlng of the Columbian souvenir coins.
Souvenir coins will be as plentiful as
blackberries in summer time," said
prominent official of the mint bureau
this morning. '1t will be impossible to
prevent them from being counterfeited.
and the fancy prices they are bringing
can, too, put as much silver in the coun-
terfeit as is contained in the original
coin. and still make SO per cent Oil each
coin." This view of the situation is not
shared by the secret service people.
Chief Drumm0pd thinks it will be al
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-12-28

most impossible to counterfeit the
souvenir coin. The machinery neces-
sary to compress the silver to the
density Of the souvenir coin could
not, he says, be confined in small
room. and it would. too. require a
half-dozen or so men to operate 1t. so
that the chance for detection would be
too great for ordinary counterfelters to
run. If made from. dies, the coins
would be about two-thirds the weight
of the souvenir coin. and would be cas-
lily distinguished from the genuine
ones
