Washington, Dec. 15.-Great interest
was manifested today in the closing
hearing il the question of currency re-
vision before the committee on 'bank-
ing and currency in the House. Presi-
dent G. G. Williams. of the Chemical
bank. New York. represented the pre-
vailing view AMONG bankers, while w.
p. st. John, of the Mercantile bank,
New York, represented the eastern
view favorable to silver.
Mushroom Banks.
The first problem in our clumsy
and conglomerate financial system is
the disposition to be made of our legal
tender notes. said Williams. He urg-
ed that these notes should be funded,
$50,000,000 at a time, until eliminated
from our financial system. Bonds at
per cent. should be received as Sc
curlty for national bank notes on the
basis of par value, the government to
have the first lien on the assets of the
able in New York City and when is
sued in sufficient volume, being readily
convertible, would furnish adequate
elasticity to the currency. The tax on
the circulation of national banks
should at once be removed. las to the
Baltimore plan, Williams said it would.
be safe in large cities but it might
start many mushroom banks merely
with a view to the issuance of notes,
and the failure of such banks would
cause loss to the whole system. Con-
sentative and we'll managed inStitu-
lions would absolutely refuse to join
hands in meeting the losses sure to
arise from these mushroom banks. At
ter founding the legal tender notes and
giving the new national bank issue,
Williams said the next step was to
look after silver certificates and the
Sherman notes. The latter were am
ply protected by S10O,000,000 in the
treasury. AS to the silver certificates,
Congress should pass a law redeeming
Them in silver bullion at its market
value at the discretion of the secretary
of the treasury, and it might be well
similarly to redeem the Sherman notes.
With these changes the currency sys-
tenn would become absolutely sound
and the banking system the most per-
feet ever devised.
Williams was questioned as to the
condition Of his own bank. He said
its capital was $500, 900; it had a. surplus
of Sc, 000, 900; the undivided profits were
more than $1,O0O,0O0: the deposits
reached $50, 100000, probably the larg-
est in the United States, if not in the
world: the dividends were $50 per cent
annually; the bank stock sold for $4,000
per share of 500.

WILD WIND BLEW.
TIVE Steamers supposed TO Have
Been Lost in the Recent Heavy
Gale.

San Francisco, Dec 15.-Up to late
hour tonight, no report has been re-
ceived of the steamer-coliers Montser-
rat and Keenawa, the former from Ma
naimo, and the latter from Comox, B.
G., and both five days overdue at this
port. In marine circles 1T is generally
believed that both vessels have been
lost. Some anxiety is also felt for the
bark Gernanlia, coal-laden, and thir-
teen days out from Seattle and the
Irlnaber-laden bark Columbia, eleven
days out from Port BlaaSely, Washing
ton. Advices daily coming to hand all
go to substautiate the earliest reports
which stated that the recent gale was
one of the most severe ever expert
enced on the northern, coast.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-The Savings
Loan bank is trying to find the heirs
of Alexander Smith, believed to have
been lost on the steamer Golden Gate,
which was burned off the Mexican
coast in 1862. Thirty two years ago
Smith deposited $1,000 in the bank.
With the accumulated interest it now
amounts to $4,000. Smiths eldest
child, Jane, it had been arranged, was

San Francisco, Dec. 15.--The Repub-

test the election of James H. Budd, as
governor A COMMITTEES of seven was
appointed under instructions to go be-

Republican politicians profess to be-

Francisco will overcome Budd's plu-

This action means a bitter fight in
the coming state legislature which con-
venes on Jan. 8. Though the legisla-
ture is overwhelmingly Republican,
many influential Republicans are OPP

A Shooting Gallery secret.

A shooting gallery popularity that has
recently come TO popularity consists in u
very light and fragile ball of glass, or, in
some cases, a hollow egg shell, suspended
from q string This always attracts the
experienced maFksman, because the ma
tural destructiveness Inherent in human
nature causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather
than at a target that gets no harm from
his accuracy. Therefore, he wastes his
three shots at 2-3 cents shot, not on
the target, but on the suspended mark
And he never hits it.
The experienced man in rifie-range gun
merry wastes no time on the deceitful ball
He knows that 1t can't be hit Probably
he knows it from experience, for it is one
of those facts that no man will believe
until he has tried it for himself The
reason for it is that a very light hollow
glass ball. or a blown egg, if properly
hung on a slender Thread will dodge any
bullet that ever came from gun barrel.
phe air that the bullet piles up in front of
it blows the light mark out of the proiec-
tiles path until it has passed, after
which the target swings back to its orig
inal position. This is very provoking for
the marksman, who, if he be a good one,
has the doubtful satisfaction of seeing
the target execute three quick lodges at
the aforementioned price of q cents per
dodge
There is nothing, however, so rem I'M
erative to the proprietor as those pendant
marks for the gunners, provoked at their
lack of success, will keep on and on and
on trying to hit a mark to which a pin
head would be a barn door shot, and they
only give it up in disgust when the cost
begins to tell upon them, or when some
wiser frierd explains their lack of sue
cess. Two dollars is a cheap price to pay
for the knowledge that one Of these hang
ing targets is better mark fot a base
ball than for bullet.
