There is apparently a determlna-
ton on the part of the hackers OF
the Nicaragua Canal scheme to
force that measure of public spolla'

SECRETARY CARLIsLE's PLAN.
The Financial Bill He Wishes to Be-
come Law.

WASHINGTON, ID. u, Dec. ll-Sec-
retary Carlisle presented his finan-
cial bill today to the committee on

lating the deposit of the United
States bonds to secure circulating
notes of national banks are repeal
ed.
The second section provides for
the issuing of circulating notes to a
national bank equal to 70 per cent
of the paid up and unimpaired cap
ital upon depositing legal tender
notes with the United States treas
urer equal to 80 per cent of the Cir
culating notes applied for, These
circulating notes shall be in denom-
nations of $1,000 and multiples
Of ten and shall be uniform in de-
sign.
Section 3 leaves a duty of / per
cent for each half year upon the
average amount of a banks notes in
circulation.
Section 4 provides for the mode
of redemption and retirement of
banks circulation.
Section 5 creates the safety fund

lating notes of failed national banks

lating notes outstanding until said
fund amounts to per cent of the

reducing its circulation shall not be
entitled to withdraw any part of
this fund. The mode of procedure

State banks shall not issue notes
similar in design to United States
notes or certificates or national bank
notes.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Work of COngress--ImpOrtant POliti-
cal Questions Discussed

Washington City is the scene of
unusual life and activity. Vital po-
litical issues are being agitated in
and out of Congress. A new fnan-
cial scheme is being evolved, that
may rebound to the veal or woe of
the nation; for days past this ques-
tion has been discussed by the SEN
ate, in committee, and what the
outcome will be no one knows.
In the Senate yesterday little was
done. A few speeches were made,
on different questions, and few
bills introduced, after which it ad-
journed until Monday next. Sena-
tor Call presented an amendment
to the Nicaragua canal bill, prOvid-
ing that, instead of aiding in the
construction of the proposed canal
by guaranteeing its bonds the gov
ernment shall construct the canal
outright. The meeting of the Sen
ate committee on rules was not pro-
ductive of results.
The House did better. 1t passed
the urgent deficiency bill by a good
majority. This bill contained an
appropriation for collecting the In
come tax, which caused some East
ern Democrats to try to defeat it,
but they were unsuccessful. Sew
eral new bills we're introduced,
among them an important one, by
Representative Fielder, of New
York, to regulate rates of sleeping
car companies.

TAX WILL GO THROUGH.

The appropriation for the carry
ing out of the income tax passed
the House yesterday by very large
majority. Bourke Cochran made a
dying swan speech which sounded
well, but failed to touch the heart
of single one of his hearers, A
few days ago it looked as if the APP
preparation would meet with trou-
bic in the Senate, but from present
appearances it will be allowed to
go through that body without seri-
Gus opposition, 1t was expected
that Senator Hill would lead the OPP
position; but those expectations do
not seem well founded, Hill, when
in politics in New York, never
fought a measure by taking away
the means of carrying it into exc
cution after it became law. Many
Senators who oppose the tax do not
believe in this way of fighting it,
and the chances are decidedly in fa-
vor Of the passage of the appropri-
alton through the Senate.

TREASURY GOLD BALANCE.

/ AhhEApbhi NOAb pAhAANChs
The net gold balance in the treas,
ury yesterday received another
heavy shock by the withdrawal of
81, l50, 600 from the sub treasury in
New York, which left the true net
balance SOB, 378, All. OF the amount
withdrawn only 81 300, 600 is thought
to be for export. The full tide of
gold expectation seems to have set
in, and when it will cease is a prob
lem which the treasury officials do
not care to discuss.
FREE SILVER is DEAD,
Congressman Bland attempted to
have a meeting of the committee on
coinage, weights and measures yes
terday. He is chairman of it and
wants to bring out a free coinage
bill. He is a neyer-say.d die man, for
he explains that he hopes to get
such a bill before Congress and,
will be found making an eff
fort in that direction till
March 4. If he does not succeed
before that time, without pretend
ing to be prophet | have no hesi-
fancy is saying from all appearan-
ces now that he will be found maxi
ing the effort on the 4th Of March,
There was a very, very narrow ma
jority of free coinage men on the
committee even when the free coin
age idea was luminous and bright,
Now the general opinion is
that there is not the ghost of a
chance for such a bill to pass the
House or become a law If it were
brought in and did pass some how
or other there is never a quorum to
be had, One time a member is sick
and at another time a member is
away on important business, A
quorum is absolutely necessary to
agree to report a bill and sickness
and pressing business stands stub
boruly in the way of a quorum.
There are a whole lot Of conserva-
tive silver men who think that the
introduction of the free coinage
question into Congress at this time
can result in nothing but Democrat
ic hair pulling and the Democratic
party is bald now from that kind of
business, 1t may be sad news to
many, but it really looks that way,
For some time to come the free sill
yer business except where it may
creep into the discussion of other
questions is very, very dead

The Cadet for June has just appeared,
and is very creditable number. This
issue contains a remarkably good like
ness of President Harris, and the leading
article "The Coinage Problem" is from
the pen of Prof. A. E. Rogers, a. person
who is most capable of treating the
subject intelligently.
The Junior class deserve the highest
praise in their work of publishing their
annual "The Prism" 1t is the first au-
nual that has been published for many
years by the students, aud it compares
most favorab bly, with like publications of
the other Maine colleges. The artistic
work of the illustrator, Mr.. W. W. Chase,
is of special merit. The editor-in-chief
is f. Damon, assisted by i. r. Folsom,
WV. Chase, A. Moulton, WIN. Murphy
and l. G. Calderwood. The class of 'Y6,
who will publish "The Prism" next year
have chosen Mr.. E. Il. Gibbs as edltor-in-
chief.
Maine people who are at all interested
in college sports cannot fail to notice
the great boom athletics have taken at
Maine State during the past year. When
the great disadvantage that the students
have to labor under trying to bring out
the athletic material is taken into ac-
count there is no wonder that the inter-
est in athletics has been dull.
The first field meet ever held at the
college took place this spring, and with
out the benefits of Il gymnasium and
an instructor records were made which
were m ost encouraging to the contestants
In base ball the team stands second in
the league and if Bates beats Colby
next Wednesday all will be tie with

showing in the intercollegiate tourna-
ment in Portland last week, Haywood,

playing, and succeeding in bringing to
