The Bni to Repeal 1t win Not Secure n
Favorable Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-The banking
and currency committee OF the house
will continue its present hearings this
week. To-day Messrs. Lester, Wheeler,
Of Alabama, and Davis, will appear
and present arguments in favor of
measures of which they are the
authors A number of bills are
pending before the committee, but
the arguments will be directed
mainly in support of the PROPOSE
ton to repeal the 10 per cent tax on
state banks. Some of the republican
members became quite alarmed after a
count, fearing that a bill to repeal the
10 per cent tax on state bank issues
would be carried through the commit
tee. A democratic member says that
such a bill cannot secure favorable
report from the committee; that while
all the southern members are counted
in its favor, IL is known that at least
two are opposed 10 such action.

Valley railroad on Tuesday shows that the
damage was much greater than M first
supposed. The three tramps who were
thrown under the shattered cars were all
cremated after death by the fire. Six cars
of wheat and one of beer were burned
to ashes, entailing a loss of $4,000 to the
company. A singular circumstance was
that several car loads of whisky attached
to the train did not take fire, although ex-
posed to intense heat.
