FINANCIAL MEASURES.
Mr.. Johnson Talks About the Work
of the Banking Committee.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
q WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-Mr Johnson, Of
Indiana, speaking Of the work of the COM
mittee on banking and currency, said to
your correspondent to-day: 1.-The committee
decided, yesterday morning, that on the
14th Of November, they would cease public
hearings on the bill repeating the 10 per
cent tax on State banks They will then
take the bill up in committee and discuss
it, though this discussion will be merely
formal affair. The majority has decided
that it will make a favorable report on the
bill. There will be minority report This
report will hold the committee to the ex-
ciusion of all other business until it is dis
posed of. After it has been reported to
the House the committee will take up the
bill authorizing the banks to increase their
circulation from 80 per cent. of the par
value of the bonds deposited to the full par
value. / do not think that the committee
cares TO hear any arguments on any bill at
present. Our programme at present is, OF
course subject to the possibility of the
adoption of compromise In the
Senate. its passage in the :. House use and an.
ter part of November, or adjourn
ment until the 1st of December. Our COM
mittee will not sit during a recess. AS
matter of fact. no other committee will
sit except the ways and means and pos
sbly the appropriations. Apart from these
two measures referred 10 we nave DeIore
the committee a vast number of bills on
financial matters, ranging from sound and
conservative propositions for the improve
ment of banking and circulation SyS-
tenn down to the widest schemes of in
fiation that were ever conceived"
While 1T is safe to assume that the bill to
increase the circulation of the banks to the
par valne of their bonds deposited will
ceive a favorable report from the commit
tee, IL Is premature to speculate on its pas
sage in the House. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Voorhees, has already introduced
g bill of the same nature In the Senate
Any bill which. like the present measure
can be interpreted to be favorable to the
perpetuation of the national banking sys-
tenn even to involve advantage to
that system is certain of defeat and bitter
opposition from the Southern and Populist
members in both House and Senate.

IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION.

Benjamin Miller and his family, who
occupied one-story frame dwelling on
the northeast corner Of Seventh and Berry
streets. had very narrow escape from
death about o'clock yesterday morning.
The building they occupied was rattle
trap structure standing on scantliDgs at
least IL or IA feet high.
The sides were boarded up, giving 1t
from the outside the appearance of a two
story building. Miller, who is teamster,
used the lower portion for stable, and had
three horses in there.
Miller's family comprised himself, wife.
and daughter Is years old. A man named
Harris Meyer, dealer in secondhand
furniture, who had been rooming with the
Miller family for the past pine years. was
also in the house at the time of the disas-

Miller and Harris were in a rear room
talking, while the mother aud daughter
occupied bed in the front room. Sud-

Yesterday. although the scene of the
misfortune presented a fOrlorn enough
spectacle, there were cheerful symptoms Of

lay piled up helter-skelter in admirable

with tenders made from baled hay wrapped
