A financial Measure Under Consideration
In Washington Involving Mauy Changes.
WASHINGTON July Tho Star tonight pub
fishes tho following:
While members Of Congress and leaders in
financial matters are discussing the various
plans by which the present situation can be
relieved. the officials Of the Treasury Depart
ment are quietly preparing statistics and his
tories Of financial transactions for the benefit
Of the Administration to guide its own views
on this vital subject. In many Of the bureaus
the chiefs are devoting their spare time to the
collection OF this information, so that it may
be in the hands of the President and Secretary
Carlisle at the ear est possible moment. Sew
Carlisle and he has them under consideration.
Among them is one which will create consid-
cradle OF stir in financial circles. as 1t con-
templates an entire change in the money sys-
tenn of the United States.
In short. the plan Is to pass specie resump-
ton act. redeeming all OF the various forms Of
money now used In this country. and issuing
instead United States Treasury note whose
value shall always be fixed. The plan under
consideration is to redeem all the present cur
rency. Just AS the fractional currency was re-
deemed by the sherman net OF 1875. and in
stead issue what shall be known as tho United
States Treasury note. 1t shall be redeemable
in 'coin.' but in the act the definition Of this
word is to be plainly stated"

He Has Fanny Koschnorsky Committed to
the Tombs for Bieamy.
According to the story told by DIR. Morris
Behrmann. aged 49, Of 1O6 Eldridge street.
when he came to this country about three
years ago. he began to study medicine under
DR.. Myer jackson. an eclectic physician at 1923
East Seventy eighth street. He subsequently
entered the State University Of Vermont, at
Burlington.
Presently Prof Phelps, Dean OF the univer-
sity. received an anonymous letter, dated New
York. June 20. 1892. setting forth that Behr-
mann had led astray one Fanny Koschnofsky
OF 81 Clinton street. this city. and in addition
had said things which I'M Piled that Prof. Phelps
did not know much about medicine.
An Investigation By Prof. Witthaus Of this
city failed to find who wrote this letter. In the
spring OF the present year Behrmann. who had
entered the New York University in the mean
time. was sued for seduction and breach OF
promise Of marriage by Miss Koschnofsky. The
suit was for S.. 900. and he had to give $1,000
ball.
The woman was locked up in the Tombs
yesterday on technical charge Of biRamy.
The real charge against her is that she per-
jured herself when she swore that DR.. Behr-
mann had led her astray. It 10 said that the
arrest OF another person on tho charge Of
writing the ltbellous letter Is pending.

and Teifh How 60 heat Crisp.
WARRINGTON July THE Hon. Jerry simp-
son OF Kansas. speaking presumably for the
Populists and silver mon in Congress. comes
out for Julius Cesar Burrows Of Michigan for
Speaker OF the next House OF Representatives.
| Il claim no right to speak for my fellow be-
lievers in the value Of silver as n circulating q
medium" he said to-day. but think that
many OF them will agree with me. We do not
blame Mr.. Crisp for his sudden leaning toward
the gold men. but we do not care to trust our
\ selves In his hands. The longer We lie down
the oftener we will be stepped on. The time
khas come when we must show fight. Gold
hugs are like the Indians Of the plains, who
cAiole an enemy into surrender and then tor
tute him to death. We have everything to
lose and nothing to gain by submission.
Wy fighting to the last we will be able at
least to retain our self-respect. There 10 no
doubt in my mind. and do not see how there
can b6doubt In the mind Of any supporter Of
silver. that In the extra session we will not
have fair deal. It is evidently the intention
TO prejudice our legislation and to choke us
off with the cloture.
Mr. Crisp is thoroughly rinimical to ue.
Under these circumstances we can do no less
than endeavor to elect another man to preside
over tho House. Mr.. Burrows is nearer our
size than any one else know. He is a bimet-
allist. and under him We would DO certain Of
q fair show. He would at least bc willing to
hear all that we had to say In favor OF our
man In the ranks Of gold.
Furthermore. Mr.. Burrows is available.
The Republicans. believe. would support him
s9fs 3Ss
and has tho respect of party associates and
ssa sse P beaJ b h.s not say ss
among the silver Democrats as there are
among all parties. but we can try our best, and
Will have the satisfaction of soaring the other
fellows anyhow.
:" It goes without saying that with the com
bined support Of the Republicans and every |
man IN the House who is opposed to tho un- |
conditional fepeal OF the sherman law. MIR. |
burrows could be elected. but Democrat is a
more uncertain quantity than petit Jury. The |
silyerites OF that party may have the nerveto |
last House OF Representatives were nine Popu- |
Lists. In tho present House thirteen-an un-
lucky number for tho gold people. You may
put II down as q prediction from me that as |
result OF MIR. Cieyeland's subserrience to Wall
have ninety. They will come some from tho
South and some from the broad land OF the
prairie dog and the setting sun.
The President is honest enough He means
we'll The trouble with him is that his knowl-
sdSe6 Is New York knSTedRe i does not e
In that town with his back to the declining orb
Of day he allows Boston and Wall street to
throw the light into his eyes Just as the hunter
uses his torchpan upon the startled deer OF
night. It is not the fault Of his nature: It is
the fault Of his education and training. There
can. He should go out and look upon the con-
dition OF great big country"

not be candidate again for the pestorate.

Mr.. Streeter explained his step to the Trus-
trees by saying he had heard that rart OF his
congregation were dissatisfied with his minis
try. and he wanted to give them an opportunity
to select n more nooe oeptnble pastor.
A committee OF four was selected to choose a
new preacher 1t consisted Of s. A. Swart

A good many who do not object especially to

All these assure Mr.. Streeter they have no
personal objection to him.
. Mr.. Streeter said last night he did not know
he had an enemy in the church. and was
greatly surprised to hear that his conRrega-
tion objected to his reading his sermons.
, He said the only dissension he had known In
OF last May.
In this controversy he said he took no part.
as he thought the trustees knew more than he
about tho financial matters OF tho church.
