MR.. LIVINGSTON'S PLAN.
How Congress May Solve the Financial
Problem Confronting It.
First Declare Policy for . Bimetallio Cur
rsncy-Then He Has . Scheme for
. National Currency.

Representative Livingston of Georgia,
who arrived in Washington this morning,
has quite complete program in mind for
the solution Of the financial problem which
Ia now confronting Congress. His plan of
procedure is first to- settle the policy of
Congress by a resolution, and then to ro-
ceed with legislative measure in detail.
beginning with the unconditional repeal CT
the Sherman law. He has prepared a reso-
luton, which he win introduce In the
House when Congress meets. declaring 1t
to be the policy and purpose of this Con-
gress to provide a bi-metalic currency and
to preserve the parity between gold and
silver. His purpose Is to establish policy
first. He proposes then to have the 3her-
man law repealed. without condition. ex-
cept a general agreement that legislation
necessary to maintain bi-metalism md
preserve the parity between the two
metals shall be enacted.
A Scheme for q National Currency.
His system for a national currency is
this: He wants the 10 per cent tax on state
banks repealed and to have a national cur
rency issued to the state banks which shall
be first guaranteed for redemption by bonds
filed by the banks to secure the state;
second. by the state itself assuming the re-
sponsibility for redemption. and thirdly.
by the United States with this other Sc
curity behind 1t to secure the money to
the people. In other words. he proposes to
have national currency issued by the
United States to the state banks. which
shall have behind 1t the credit of the
United States. secured by the credit Of the
states and bonds filed by the banks to
whose credit the currency was issued.
FavOrs Free Coinage.
On the silver question Mr.. Livingston
says that he favors the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman law and the free COIN
age Of silver at an increased ratio as an
Independent proposition. He says that the
southern people will insist on the main-
tenance of bimetaliisn, but that they do
not care at what ratio. They are willing,
he says, that the ratio should be fixed at
70 or Y or even "a to 80 long as the silver
Is kept on an equality with gold. They will
stand with the west, he says. in demanding
free coinage. but on the question Of ratio
they may be with the east and north.

A LIVELY BLAZE,
Many Conns but no Bodies burned
up Today.

At noon today a fire near the corner NJ,
18th and H streets caused considerable ex-
cltement. As q specimen of cremation
without the corpses the affair was a de-
cided success. At the rear Of l22O H street
Is two-story building used by W. r.
Speare. the undertaken, as a warehouse for
coff1ns and caskets. Today with little pre-
liminary warning this building blazed out
into very lively fire. The department
responded promptly to the alarm. and.
largely through the efforts of the chemical
engine. the flames were subdued In the
building were about twenty coffins Of the
very finest workmanship and nearly all
were destroyed. The fire was remarkable
for the destruction which 1t created In the
short time 1t burned. Inside the building
were something like $1,000 worth Of cofiins'
one alone being valued at 1000
How the flames started is the interesting
question to the outside public. Mr. Speare
building was only used as a storehouse for
the better class Of his goods, which he
had made according to his own designs
locked and legitimatey had not been en-
tered since Saturday, when everything was
in perfect condition. Mr.. Speare further
said that the place was insured.
This, however does not explain the cause
of the fire. As has been said, the ware
house is occupied by Mrs NJ Hyatt. One
of the inmates Of the house claims to have
smelled smoke around the premises early
In the morning. but was unable to discover
the cause. According to Mrs. Hyatt the
flames were seen almost simultaneously
from two windows of the building, and an
effort was made to open the shutters of the
windows and throw in water
Between Mrs. Hyatts house and the
burned-out building Is little yard, and
close up to the lower window of the ware
house are two barrels, which were almost
entirely consumed by fire. The barrels were
evidently the receptacles for ashes. Next

RAPID FIRE GUNS.
A Competitive Trial to Take Place
at the Sandy Hook Grounds.

AZ tne SANDY HOOK GrOun0B.
A competitive trial Of rapid-fire guns will
take place at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds early in the autumn. The object
OF the trial Is to determine the best all
round gun for army work before making
contracts for guns for the protection Of
torpedo mines and for light field service.
The tests will include a series Of firing
covering 1.500 rounds. to be fired under the
numerous and varied circumstances neces-
sary fully to develop the relative merits Of
each piece. Five shots will be fired from
each weapon for velocity and ten for ac-
curacy. The aiming conditions are to be
repeated for each round. and the same de-
Walton determined. Rapidity being the
most essential element, the tests in this
respect will be most rigid and thorough.
Three separate trials will be given each
gun to determine this feature. Each gun
will also be required to fire a number Of
rounds to determine the capacity of each
piece to fire rapidly and with accuracy.
The guns will be fired for one, three and
five minutes respectively for rapidity, and
the time required to fire 100 rounds will be
noted. For rapdity with accuracy ten
aimed shots are to be fired rapidly at dist
ances of 1000 yards, one mile, and perhaps a
greater distance. Ten aimed shots will also
be fired at targets in the same line at ranges
Of 500 and 1000 yards alternately; also ten
shots alternately at about 500 yards range
the targets to be placed seventy five feet
apart.

THE BRAZILIAN CENSORSHIP,
The State Department Notified That II
has Been Removed.

The embargo on cipher messages between
this country and Brazil has been removed.
1t was established by Brazil on account Of
the disturbed condition Of its affairs Of
late The fact Of its removal was COM
municated to the State Department this
morning in a cable message from United
States Minister Conger dated Petropolis. a
suburb Of Rio de Janeiro. There has never
been any interruption Of the official COM
munications between the United States
government and its diplomatic and con-
sular representatives in Brazil. The official
censorship applied only to commercial
messages between merchants in one
country and their agents in the other. The
use Of a cipher in such communications
was prohibited as measure Of extreme
precaution essential to the welfare of the
Brazilian government during the revolution.
American merchants protested most vigor-
ously against the order. and it Is mainly
through their efforts that its revocation
was secured.
