II IN PER CENT. TAX.
A Bill for..s Conditional Repeal Prepar ed BY
the Finance Committee and APPROX
ed by the President.

WASHINGTON, d. CA bill to repeal
the 10 per cent. tax on State Bank
circulation has been framed by the sub
committee to which the full committee
on banking and currency referred oil
measures relating to this question. The
bill framed will be reported to the full
committee for final action before it is
reported to the House. 1t does not
repeal the tax Internationally, but
provides that issues of currency shall
be under the direction of the Com
ptroller of the Currency, and shall be
limited in amount. The Comntroller' g
supervision will prevent the issue of
currency which is not amp'y secured,
and thus prevent wildcat issue. 1t is
understood that the bill has the ap-
proval of the President, who desires
repeal if it is surrounded with proper
sn nfppuurls

ATLANTA, GA.-The Georgia House
of Representatives passed bill pro-

of the repeal of the ten per cent. state

The bill establishes the necessary

EaOU9E: AND SENATE,
Hearings on the Tariff question
Begun.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-In the House
the committee on ways and means this
morning began hearings on the tariff
question. Representative Harter ofOhio
who was to advocate the placing of
agricultural impliments and flour on the
free list, was unable to be present.
Messrs. Thomas ]. Watson and Samuel
A. Masters of Bermuda assembly, pre-
scented arguments of the producers of
that island in favor of the abolition of
duty on vegetables imported into the
United States. They said that the Ber-
muda products were two months earlier
than our Southern products and did not
compete with them. When our Southern
crop began to come in the Bermuda
crop stopped.
IN the Senate today an amendment to
the silver repeal act was offered by But
ler and referred to the finance committee,
repeating the ten per cent. tax on State
banks. A bill introduced by Calm
ger supplemental to the pension act
of June 81, 1890, provides, among
other things, that in the case of an
established fraud no pension shall
be suspended or withheld until after no.
tice of 90 days to the pensioner and after
full and impartial investigation. Mr..
Gallinger addressed the Senate in cXpla-
nation and advocacy of his bill which
was then referred to committee on pen
sions.

was found stiff and cold in death by the
"trusty" who has been caring for him.
On his person was found the following
letter:
ITO the coroner of Denyer-Dear Sir ::
Please don't hold any autopsy on my
remains. The cause of death may be
rendered as follows: Died from poison.
Worn out. Exhausted. Yours respect
fully, 7. Thatcher Graves, M. D."
There were also letters to Mrs. Graves,
the wife of the doctor; to Tailor Crews,
and an address to the public.
In his letter to the public Graves says:
II have freely expended a fortune in
fighting them, the lawyersl but the
courts will now compel ME to expcnd NO
more. What have left will go to my
noble little wife and my poor suffering
mother. There is one way to stop the
expenditure. Allow me to repeat what
| have always said publicly and privately:
Upon my solemn Masonic oath, l. T.
Thatcher Graves, did not have anything
to do in any way, shape, manner, nor
deed with the death of Mrs. Barnaby.

will soon have in store for me-"

HeginS Tomorrow.

The hardest baseball battle wagcd in
Asheville will begin at Carriers track
tomorrow afternoon at 4 O'Clock, be
tween the Asheville team and the Knox
vile Reds. The home team has strength
ened itself and expects to put up three
games that will be quite different from
those played at Knoxville two weeks
ago. The series will be played Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday and it is ex-
pected that large crowds will be at
tracted each afternoon. Every Ashevillc
admircr of the home team is hoping
that the Highlanders may regain the
laurels which were torn from their brow
at Knoxville.
The Reds come here cooked and
primed for the fray and ready to repeat
the dosc-if they can. The battery to-
morrow will lie McCiung and CrawIey-
"Ded" McClung, the leit-handed twirler
of the old Reds, and "Algie" Crawley,
who was with the Chattanooga league

Leahy, S. s.; Connors, 3 b.; Moffctt, |. f.;

will be ball playing tomorrow right.
