dent that the plan devised at the meeting

MIR. HoLmAN's RESOLUTION.
why 1T Was withdrawn Thursday-No Oc-
casion for "Repsirs."
lBy telegraph to tho Dispatch.


WASHINGTON, January l5.-Mr. Holman,
Of Indiana. had under serious considera-
tion yesterday the adyisability OF with
drawing his resolution declaTatOry Of the
sense of the House on subsidies and other
matters involving appropriations, aud OF
amending 10 so as TO make IT'S
wording less stringent. The opposl-
tion winch developed TO the resolution
was unexpected by Mr.. Holman, who had
anticipated that considerabie portion OF
the mem bers on the Republican side would
vote for il, and that II would have almost
the united support of the Democratic
members. The spirit Of antagOnism shown
To IL bv q number of Democrats was,
therefore. a surprise 90 him, and led to the
motion made by Mr.. Holman yesterday
having IN view its modification or re
PAIR" rs suggested by Air Reed, the
leader Of the Republican minority.
Mr.. Holman found, however, that the
detection was not as serious as had been
feared. and that the proposed amend.
ment to the resolution would rob 1t OF
much Of its force and permit IN the fu-
ture a very liberal construction OF its pur-
mort as applied 10 specific objects.
Ii Is thought that even as the
resolution stands there will be a
sufficient difference of opinion In the
future IN the interpretation to be gwen II
Ia specltC instances, anu tnhN ~ Nouiu bp
well 10 stand by the resolution as origi-
nally framed and not let the bars down 10
a greater extent. A Democratic member
of the House Committee on Appropria--
tlons. who was asked about the change OF
plan from last night. said this morning
that the army was found to be all right
and ina good shape. and that there was no
occasion for repairs.
The lack Of united harmonious action
developed yesterday led to talk among
some OF the DemOcratlc members or the
desirabilitv of holding caucus, at which
there might be general discussion OF
party policy and an agreement with refer
ence to the course TO be pursued. This
talk has not yet crystalized INTO
the form of the circulation OF a
call for a caucus. but several men,
bers have the subject under consideration
and may draft a call and hand 1t around
for signatures. Other Democrats think,
however that as matters have righted
themselves as respects the present subject
before the House-the Holman reSoiu-
tion-it would be well to defer party
caucus for the present.

ANOTHER SPURIOUS PAPER.
A Note Discounted for Captain simpkin
Pronounced IA Forgery.

When Captain William Simpkin .disap-
peared there was general oyerhauling at
the banks of paper with which his name
was IN any way connected.
The City Bank held a note for S2,i00
drawn over the name of Mr.. Shaefer as
president of the Lynchburg Refrigerator
Company and endorsed "Holt Il Shae-
fer" of which firm Ar. Shaefer is a men,
Der. This note had also been endorsed by
Smpkln & Hillyer, negotiated at the
City Bank and the proceeds placed TO the
credit Of the firm. The note is due about
April lst.
As soon as public suspicion was aroused
regarding Captain Simpkin the note was
sent to Lynchburg in order to ascertain
whether ii was all right, and Mr. Shaefer
pronounced both the signature and the
endorsement (Holt * shaeferl forgeries.
Mr. Shaefer is a German, and his hand
writing has the peculiarity of all German
writing. The Cashier of the City Bank
and one of the clerks IN that institution
are thoroughly familiar with Mr.. Shaefer's
individual and firm signatures, and 1t IS
hard for them to conceive that the note is
not genuine.
Yesterday the bank entered suit in the
City Circuit Court against Simpkin Hill
yer for $1,000. The suspicion prevails in
police circles that Simpkin Is IN Mexico.
