Bill for Its Redemption to Prevent
Spreading of Diseases.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-Representative
Cultivate of Ohio has taken up, and in
view of the danger Of cholera invasion
will press vigorously his proposition for
the frequent exchange of sOiled paper
money for new notes. From an investi-
CATION made it was shown that old green
backs and bank notes contain germs Of
disease to an unusual degree, and there
is reason for apprehension of them as a
producer of disease.
In view of the necessity of the utmost
precautions against the spreading of chol-
era next summer, Outhwaite has intro
duced bill directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to make necessary regulations
to secure the speedy and frequent re-
demption of all United States paper cur
rency and all national bank notes which
become soiled, impure, unclean and
otherwise unfit for use, when presented
in sums OF not less than Sl0O, and for the
preparation and issue Of new United
States paper currency in place of that
which shall have been redeemed Fifty
thousand dollars is appropriated, to be-
come Immediately available, to enable
the Secretary to carry into effect the pro
visions.

PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT.

BIZ for the Settlement of Claims of
the Government.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Pacific rail-
road debt question is again before Con-
gress, this time in a bill introduced to-day
by Senator Frye authorizing the appoint
ment of commission to settle the claims
growing out of the issue of bonds by the
United States to aid in the construction
of certain railroads and to secure to the
United States the payment of all indebted
ness of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pa
cific, now forming part of the Union Pa
cific, the central branch of the Union

such power as will enable the commits
sion to settle with the companies, sub

of the Interior and the President. All
the existing rights of the Government
are to be preserved and the commission

Special to the REcoRD-UNIox.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Representative
Harter of Ohio objects to the silver-pur-
chase suspension resolution introduced
in the Senate by Mcpherson of New Jer-
sey, on the ground that it gives the Sec
retary of the Treasury greater control
over the subject than any man could wish
and more than Congress ought to place
in the hands of any officer of the Gov
ernment. He offered in the House to-day
a substitute in the nature of House
Joint resolution providing as follows:
"All further purchases of silver bullion
by the United States of America shall
cease from and after the passage or adOp-
ton of this resolution, and said purchases
shall not be resumed until an interna-
tional agreement is reached, which agree
ment shall at least include Great Britain,
Germany, France and the United States
of America; and which agreement shall
fix the valuation at which silver bullion
will thereafter be received for coinage,
without limit as to quantity, at the mints
of all the nations who are parties to the
said agreement"
Harter thinks this resolution would ac-
complish the same result and not be open
to the same objection as the Mcpherson
resolution. 'It would, moreover" he
says, "be a notice to the world that we are
ready to join other civilized nations in
the coinage of silver upon any agreed
upon international ratio, and that mean
while we have declined going on raking
their chestnuts in for them at the risk Of
commercial disaster and national dis
grace"
Harter says he believes silver purchases
have greatly contracted the currency dur
ing the last twenty-four or twenty-five e
months, and that after counting in the
notes issued by the Government in pay
ment for high silver, the actual volume
of currency to-day is probably at least
100000 900, perhaps $25O,O00,OO0 or $780,
000,00J smaller than if we had been out
Of silver speculation entirely.
BRUSSELS DELEGATES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Post says:
Senator Allison, who has returned from
attendance upon the Brussels conference.
and who made an informal report to the
President yesterday morning of the
event, said he would certainly tender his
resignation as a member of the commits
sion to the new President, and he init
mated that his colleagues would do the
same thing. 1T certainly is the proper
thing" he said, ''to give the new Admin
lstration an opportunity to send a COM
mission that would be in accordance with
its own views on the silver question"
When asked as to the truth of the publi-
cation, Allison neither denied nor con-
1irmed it. He simply said: 81 may ten
der my resignation, but that is not worry
ing me now. 1 certainly will not do it
now, and whether l will when Cleveland
takes his seat is a matter the future can
take care Off
