NEW BANKING BILL.
Chairman Springer Gives an Outline of the
Measure to Go to Congress.

Measure to Go to Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15.-The
bill to create new banking and cur
rency system, which is being prepared
by Chairman Springer and the House
committee on banking and currency, is
nearly completed. 1t will be finished
within day or two after Congress con-
venes and will be one of the first meas
ures introduced at the session.
Chairman Springer to-day gave to the
Associated Press an outline of the pro-
posed bill. "The near approach to the
time VIXEN national bonds will be due
and payable" said Mr.. Springer, "and
the limited volume of such bonds of
this kind and their high prices
in the market, prove conclusively
that other security for circulation
must be resorted to. With
proper regulation under governmental
provisions, the bonds of the states, oil
counties and Of certain munich palities
can be utilized for the purpose of Sc
curing a national circulation, and Amer
lean banks, state as well as national, de-
posting such securities ought to be per-
mitted to take out currency to at least
80 per cent. Of the par value of such
bonds.
"Ofcourse the strictest scrutiny should
be exercised in regard to such bonds
and they should not be accepted unless
they had been at par in the market at
least for two years previous to their de-
post and unless there had never been
default in the payment Of interest upon
them. Efficient provisions should
be enacted requiring additional secur-
ity in case of the slightest depreciation
of these securities. The government
should assume all responsibility for the
redemption, in coin on demand, of such
notes, and provisions should be made
therefor by a coin reserve equal
to at least 20 per centum Of the
outstanding circulation. The govern
ment having thus assumed all RESPONSE
bility for redemption and requirement
Of it's currency, there would be no
necessity for bank reserves or for with
holding any portion Of the currency
that might be issued from circulation
among the people.
''These generally are my individual
views and [ hope that with the aid of
the committee on banking and curren-
cy the members Of Congress gener-
ally, without regard to party, will be
able to formulate such legislation upon
the general lines [ have indicated
as will commend itself to the
favorable action Of both houses
of Congress and the President.
Although the committee is not
III session, the conferences among the
members still continue in an informal
way by mail and otherwise. from time
to time, and Immediately upon the re-
assembling Of Congress we shall meet
and promptly agree upon a measure
which can be presented to Congress and
serve to relieve the depressed financial
condition Of the country and command
the confidence of the people"

SEMINARY in ASHES.
Two Lives Lost by the Burning of EdgeWOOd,
Near Madison.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 17.-"Edge-
wood, /" the Catholic seminary situated
two miles east of this city, was totally
the inmates were burned to death,
while third was probably fatally in
iured. The financial loss is about $50, 900,
partially insured. The victims of the
fire are:
MARGIE RICE, Stevens Point, Wis, aged6,
dead.
MAGGIE IBAEK, Chicago H., aged 7,
dead.
FRANCES HENNEBERRY Chicago, H., I'M
conscious and almost dead from smoke;
cannot live.
KATIE SWEENEY, -, Mich, badly suffo-
Gated; will recover.
The origin of the fire is a mystery 1t
started shortly before 8 O'Clock in a
room on the second floor Of the main
building. The girls whose lives were
lost slept in or very near to this room.
Before the fire was discovered it mus
have gained considerable Roadway for
when the sisters i'll charge became
aware of the danger the halls were
densely filled with smoke.
The spread of the fire was so rapid
that it was feared that more fatalities
would be discovered to have occurred
but as soon as the excitement was over
to some extent, it was but short time
before the industrious sisters had all Of
their wards accounted for.
Edgewood seminary, conducted by
the Dominican sisters and most beauti-
fully situated on the shores of Lake Win
era, was in a very thriving condition.
The old building, where the fire started,
was two-story stone structure and the
new one adjoining it, which was de-
stroyed, was three stories high, of brick,
and had just been completed, not yet
being fully occupied. The older struct-
ure was the home Of Gov. Washburn,
who gave it to the Dominican sisters.

SCORES OF VESSELS LOST.
Great Damage to Shipping by the Storm on
the British Coast,

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The gale in the
English Channel was renewed with fury
to-day. All the boats running between
Calais aud Dover are stormbound at
these two ports, and vessels which
are arriving at Dover every hour
report having experienced the most
fearful weather in the channel and in
the North Sea. Disasters and fatalities
are reported on all sides and distressed
vessels are to be seen off every part OF
the coast. The liteboats have been
working calamity for nearly three days
and have succeeded in reScuing a large
number of lives.
The storm has also caused great havoc
inland and is continuing its work of de-
struction. The Saffron & Walden
branch Of the Great Eastern Railroad is
blocked with snow, and snow has also
stopped all traffic on the Great North
ern Railroad between Ashwen and
Harston. Near Ashwell a railroad train
is embedded in twenty-foot drift Of
snow and Il gang of 100 men with
snow pillow have been at work all day
trying to get the way clear.
Eight fishing boats belonging to Has
tings, each carrying a crew of from five
to eight men, are still unreported this
afternoon, and but little hope is enter
tanned that they have survived the
storm. OFF Clethorpe, County of Lin
coin, to-day, eight vessels are ashore.
The body of Edward Moore, we'll
known Statfordshire farmer, was found
frozen in the snow drifts at Scarbor-
ough. A quantity Of wreckage belong
ing to various vessels has been washed
ashore at Yarmouth. The gale ragged
with terrific force all night and many
more fishing boats are reported missing.
Another large portion of the pier at
Calais, France, was washed away to-day,
and the piers at Dieppe are also SO Sc
verely damaged that steamboats, cannot
enter the harbor. Channel traffic is
now stopped at all points and many
passengers who have been waiting since
Saturday to cross the channel have been
put to great Inconvenience.
The body of Sir Robert Morier, late
British ambassador to ST. Petersburg,
who died on November IS at MontreuX
on the Lake of Geneva, has been await
ing at Calais since Saturday for the
weather to moderate sufficiently to en-
able it to be transported across the
channel. The funeral, which was fixed
for to-day in England, will therefore
have to be postponed.

BOMB FOR A GENERAL.
Attempt to AsSaSSinate MatheIin, the
French Military Commander.

MARsEILLEs, Nov. 16.-An attempt was
made to blow up the residence Of Gen.
Mathelin, commander of the Fifteenth
Corps, at about midnight last night.
The house is surrounded by high wall
into which sentry boxes are built. The
Fifteenth Army Corps includes in it's
jurisdiction the lower Alps, the Maritime
Alps, the Boucnes du Rhone, Corsica
Gard, Star, Nauclese and Marsellles.
Into the sentry boxes number Of cases
of dynamite were placed, and in addi-
ton one case Of dynamite was placed in
cupied by the General and
used by the orderlies of the
commander. The dynamite placed in
the orderlies' room exploded at
about midnight with loud report,
shattering the walls and hurting mass
of debris into the guard-room, without,
however, iniuring the orderlies or hurt
ing any of the soldiers in the guard
room.
Some idea Of the force of the expo
sion and Of the miraculous escape Of the
orderlies and soldiers in the guard
room, and others, may be formed from
the fact that the effects of the explosion
were felt a mile from the spot where
it took place. The director of the mu-
nicipal tax headquarters was lying in
bed when the case of dynamite explod--
ed and was awakened by the blast and
by shower of glass and plaster which
fell upon his face.
An Italian who was seen sitting OPP
posite the Generals house late yester-
day afternoon has been arrested upon
suspicion Of being connected with the
conspiracy. 1t is not by any means
certain, however, that the plot is of
italian origin; there are people here
who believe that the explosion was the
work of the most hotheaded of the
horse car strike agitators who are known
to have been feeling very bitter against
the military authorities for the support
which they gave the car company dur
ing the recent strike when the streets
were patrolled by hussars and infantry
and when each horse car which the
company was enabled to run was es-
corted by from six to a dozen mounted
hussarS.
The police are actively engaged in in
Yestigating the explosion and it is un-
derstood that number of arrests will
be made during the day.
The soldiers composing the garrison
of MarseIlles are very much excited at
the attempt made upon the life of Gen.
Mathelin, and there is little doubt that
this feeling would lead them to wreak
summary vengeance upon any Anarchist
or other dynamite conspirator who may
be caught prowling about the public
buildings.
The police have arrested forty Anar-
chists during the day, including ten
foreigners.

Fined-Important Cases Decided.

Number of Saloon-izeepers at 3Ienominee
Fined-Important Cases Decided.
MENoMINEE, Mich, Nov. 20.-The first
week of the circuit court closed on Sat
urday. Ten saloon-keepers pleaded
guilty to different violations of the
liquor law and were fined all the
way from $25 to 500. The ag-
gregate of these fines will aid
materially in relieving the depleted
condition of the county's finances.
The two most important criminal
cases were: People vs.. John Blom-
quist, charged with murder, the defend
ant being acquitted, and the people VS..
Lauritz Arnesen, charged with an as
sault with intent to murder. Arnesen
was found guilty OF assault and battery
only. Phil and Bob McGinnell, in jail
here on suspicion of having a hand in
the S. 900 safe robbery at Waucedah,
have been making heroic efforts to OBJ
tain bail, so far without success.
