UNDECIDED ABOUT sTRIKING.
CONFERENCE WITH CARLISLE.
Chairman Springer Has n Number OF
Amendments us a Result

Washington, Dec. pa conference
was held at the treasury department
between Secretary Carlisle and Chair
man Springer of the house committee on
banking and currency relative to
amending the Carlisle currency bill now
before the house. The subject was gone
over fully and as a result of the talk
Mr.. Springer will propose II number of
amendments designed to remove some
of the objections advanced against
the bill. One of the objections is that
under section 7. some banks may be per
mitted to take out for circulation bills
to the amount of 30 per cent of thail.
capital stock. This would be remedied
by requiring the excess to be returned
by deposit of greenbacks Under the
existing provisions of the law, the time
in which the banks will be required to
comply with the new law may be eX-
tended for two years. The house may
fix by amendment the time to a more re-
mote date. The bill will be made clear
that bill holders of national bank notes
Will be protected during the time the
old banks are conforming To the new
law.
Another amendment will provide that
the government will receive old notes
Iof INTERNAL revenue taxes, cancel them
and issue notes under the new law
1t is possible that these and other
amendments that the democratic ma
jority of the banking committee may
agree upon may he embraced in a sub
stitute which can be presented before
the five minute debate begins. Such
a substitute, embodying all amend
ments and improvements suggested by
debate. is thought to be more desira BILE
than having the original bill patched
from end to end with amendments.
The conference did not bring out any
consideration of the three important
amendments which have been urged on
the floor of the house, viz: Issue of
bonds to retire outstanding greenbacks;
elimination of state banks and limiting
the banks liability for losses to other
banks to ] per cent. AS to bond issues
to retire greenbacks, this will proha bly,
be offered by amendment, but ii is be-
lieved that the feeling against bond
issues will defeat the amendment Elm
nation of state banks and limit of la
bility will also be presented as indie
pendent amendments.

OAKLAND WATER FRONT CASE.
United States Supreme Court to Deter
mine Its Ownership.

Washington. Dec. 19.-One of the most
important cases of the year was taken
up in the United States supreme court
today. 1t involves the validity of title
of the Southern Pacific company to its
water front of Oakland, Cal. The grant
was originally made in 1852 to the town
of Oakland, then a mere hamlet, of a
large tract of land extending from the
high water mark to the ship channel. to
enable the town (Which was incorpor-
ated i'm the same acO to create harbor
and construct wharves. This grant was
conveyed to Horace w. Carpenter. by
the trustees of the town. on his agree
ment to perform certain conditions re-
CURED of the town, by the granting act
of the Legislature. A controversy arose
between Carpenter and the authorities
of Oakland after its Incorporation as
a city in 1864. The claims were all ad-
justed in 1868 under authority of the
legislature conferred on the city council
and the mayor for the purpose. From
Carpenter, the title now attacked by
the state of California, was transferred
to the railroad company. The present
suit is brought to quiet title.

SMUGGLING IN A COSTLY DRUG.
Eastern Customs Officers Watching for
Daring Gang.

New York, Dec, 20.--Special instruc-
tons have been given to the customs
inspectors in this city, Philadelphia and
Baltimore to maintain a particularly
strict watch for smugglers of the drug
known as phenacatine. 1t has been
known to the special treasury agents
for some time that this drug, upon
which there is a heavy duty, was being
smuggled into the country on an extern
sive scale, large quantities having been
sold to druggists at little more than
the cost of the duty. All efforts, how
ever. to corral the smugglers have been
unsuccessful except in a single case at
Philadelphia, where man named Pet
tingill was recently caught in the act
and is under heavy bail for trial in the
United States circuit court.
That there is a heavy profit i'm the
business is indicated by the fact that
Pettingill. who is believed to be chief
of the gang engaged in the Illegal traf-
fic, offered to pay two special treasury
agents $50 a month each If they would
allow him to continue in the traffic UNI

AT o'clock the western lines We're

tails which would allow the Canadian
Pacific to tap the territory of the Grand

later. however, they had changed their
minds and it was announced that the
differential would apply on business at
London as requested by the Canadian
Pacific. This will bring the lines of
the Central Traffic Association squarely
into the fight with the Canadian Pa
cific and the matter will probably as
sumo large proportions before it is
settled.

M'klNLtY's FRIENDS AT WORK.
Effort TO Have the Nominating Couven.
tiOn at pittshurs

Chicago. Dec. 1s.-The announcement
that Chairman Gripp of the Allegheny
county republican committee has APP
pointed large committee headed by
Chris l.. Magee to secure the next ma
tional republican convention for Pitts
burg has resulted in two or three secret
conferences during the week between
the members of what is known as the
Cook county combine" nearly every
member of which was elected to
prominent county office at the Novem-
Der election, while, moreover the COM
bine as whole has practical control
of the state machine.
One of the leading members of the
combine is hand-in-glove with certain
influential republicans in the east and
who have had more or less to do with
shaping the outcome of at least two ma
tional republican conventions since "a.
Both the eastern element and it's Chi
cago representatives are anti-McKinley
and the effort to secure the next ma
tional convention for Pittsburg is re-
garded as move in the interest of the
Ohio man, especially as Mr., Magee, who
is one of his bosom friends, is the work
ing chairman of the committee. Hence
the local combine. after consultation
with the eastern interests before re-
ferred to, has decided to put forward
every effort to bring the convention to
Chicago. where the delegates might pos
sibly be more subject to it's manipula-
ton than would be the case We're the
convention held in Pittsburg, Cincinnati
or St. Louis.
1t is a significant fact moreover, that
of the thousand or more ward workers
appointed to subordinate positions by
the incumbents of the new county offices
and who will bear the burden of the
day in the campaign that precedes the
selection of the delegates to the next
national convention, every man has
been selected on the test of loyalty to
his chief, which means in effect his anti
Mckinley sentiments 1t is said also
that word has gone out that the for
nation of Mckinley clubs is to be dis
couraged among the rank and file of the
party in Cook county. "A behest which
the ward workers are expected to exc
cute. Altogether the contest between
the Allegheny republicans ana the Chi
cagoans promises to become decidedly
interesting, although there is not one
of the latter that possesses either the
diplomacy or the fighting characterize

SAD END OF AN uNWlse ACTRESS
Married to Wealth but Dissipatcd For

London, Dec. 1S.-The details of the
sad ending of an eXtraVagant and dis
sipated life have just become public
through a dramatic scene enacted at
Holborn inhrmary. A few days ago
there died in that institution a young
and pretty woman. who was known as
Clarice Norton, the wife of a cabman
Before the burial had taken place, how
ever, gentleman appeared at the in
Urinary and asserted that the body was
that of his wife. According To the hus-
bands story he met the girl four
years ago, when she was but 20 years
old and an actress of considerable abil-
ity After a brief courtship the two
were welded in fashionable West End
church, with many persons of high de-
gree in attendance, At the time of the
marriage the husband settled 500 900
on the wife, together with a present of
an additional 500, 900. Extravagant liv-
ing, however. dissipated the fortunes
of both in an incredibly short time and
they drifted apart, she to become the
wife of a cab driver under whose name
she died at the infirmary.

BLAND HAS A CURRENCY BILL.
Its Chief ProNiso Is for Coinage of Siivc
Bullion.

BuIllOn.
Washington, DC, Dec. 1S.-Represen-
tative Bland will move to strike out all
after the enacting clause in the Carlisle
currency bill now before the house and
substitute a measure for a currency
system based on coin and coin notes.
Mr.. BANDS plan does not interfere with
the existing national bank system, but
instead of allowing banks to issue notes.
Mr.. Bland proposes that the govern
ment issue notes, calling them coin
notes. These are to be redeemed in
gold and silver coin and the government
is to coin both metals. The Bland bill
provides for the free coinage of silver
and for the deposit of gold and silver
bullion and the issuance of legal tender
notes upon it. Bullion is to be subse-
quently coined and coin notes are to be
redeemed in gold and silver without
discrimination, as may be most advan-
tageous to the government The pro-
vision is also made for issuing coin
notes on standard silver coin. All out
standing gold and silver certificates are
to be retired and coin notes are to be
substituted therefore. A provision is
also made for the redemption of out
standing greenbacks and treasury notes
in gold or silver coin without discrim-
ination. An emergency fund is created
so that in case of a panic or money
stringency the secretary of the treasury
may on the deposit of United States
interest-bearing bonds issue to depos-
itors of the bonds coin notes. The in
terest on such bonds is to go to the
government while they are on deposit
and should they mature while on de-
post they are to be Cancelled.

JUDGE NUGENT MUST EXPLAIN.
Summoned 10 Appear Before the Idaho
supreme Court.

Boise Idaho Dec 19.-An interesting
order was issued by the r-9reme court
today. the first Of the kind in the state.
An alternative writ of mandate was is
sued To Judge Nugent of the district
court to appear and show cause why
he should not at once try the cases
against the Ada county commissioners.
The writ was made returnabe at 10
o'clock tomorrow.
Last summer the citizens began suit
against the commissioners on a charge
of collecting illegal fees. The statute
provides that the district judge shall
try such cases The penalty provided
is dismissal from office and fine of
$500. One case has been started but
all efforts TO get the other up has failed.
The commissioners go out of office early
in January and the cases will fall with
the expiration of their terms, hence the
| anxiety to have the cases tried al once
