made by George F. Stone, who is acting in
his stead. The report deals with that

600. Con sideration is being given the
feasibility of utilizing electric and other
rapid-moto- streetcar lines to facilitate the
transportation of mails in the important
cities between main postofices and branch
ofhces, and o and from main stations. A
plan OF this kind will be probably included

GOOD CHOCTAW BEER
At the Root of Trouble in the
Indian Country.
Worse Even Than That, However, is
the Land Greed of White
Squawmen.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-The annual re-
port of Indian Agent Wisdom. at Musko-
gee, /. T., 10 the Indian Office, throws
considerable light upon the conditions in
the Territory which have resulted in
troubles of considerable moment In the
Indian country, such as the reign of ter
ror caused by bands of robbers and ma
rauders. He points out in the first place
the necessity of the enlargement of the
courts in the Indian Territory, saying
''Sncs the act OF March /, 1889. establish
ing Federal court 10 the Indian Terri
tory. there has been no special legislation
by Congress extending its jurisdiction or
increasing the number of judges"
AS one Of the evils to be eradcated Mr..
Wisdom singles out land-grabbing. The
Indian is satisfied with small tract of
land. but those who have intermarried
with Indian women have fenced in and
apportioned to their own use thousands of
acres. The land is held in common. He
SAYS: "The Indians are reluctant to brea
up their tribal relations and to assume the
status OF United States citizens with at
tending responsibilities. If l am not mis-
taken. however. the consensus Of opinion
among the Indians is that some change is
inevitable, and that, too, In the near
future"
Mr.. Wisdom has something to say about
a beverage known as "Cboctaw beer"
He says: "Good ChOctaw beer, a drink
compounded of barley. hops, tobacco. fish
berries and a small amount OF alcohol, is
manufactured without stint in many por-
tions of the agency. 1t is certain that its
sale is a fruitful source Of evil, disorder
and crime"
he advises legislation for the suppress
siou of this traffic.

A leading bank president said to-day
'If the banks are to pay for the bonds it

eral parties who made bids at the time of

bids good. while others, who were
not regarded as respon sble. made bids
and when they were rejected made CON-
plants of their treatment. MIR. Curtis
said the requirements in this circular were
to get rid OF these classes of bidders. II
is stated that bids have already been re-
ceived at the treasury by telegraph, but
no attention will be paid to them. All
bidds received by telegraph. or otherwise
than stated, will be treated as irregular
and no attention will be paid 10 them.

giving their views on whether the Govern
ment should give financial aid to secure
me early construction of the Nicaragua

divided between the Democrats and Re-
pu0ilcans. Senator Sherman of Ohio
writes that he is thoroughly committed to
the construction of the Nicaraguan canal,
and emphasizes the report made TO the

Senator Walsh of Georgia says the
Nicaragua canal Is the greatest enterprise

it should be built and controlled by the
United States Government; tnat it would
open new markets for our products, the
field, the mine and The factory; and would
enable US 10 compete successfully with

10 regard TO the issue of bonds and other

WANTS MORE MONEY.
Cleveland to Try and Reform
the Currency.
Still There Is No Hint That He Will
Recommend the Use of
Silver.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It Is reported
that Clevelaud's forthcoming message
will deal almost altogether if not ex-
elusively with the money question.
During his first term the Preside It pri-
vately expressed himself in favor of a
proposition to repeal the tax on State
Banks and revive the State Bank cur
rency. He now has a scheme for an in-
fation of the currency through the
National Banks, con6ning the right Of
issue TO banks under Federal supervision.
In general way it is supposed that be
will favor National Bank currency based
on other accepted securities besides
Government bonds. The President is said
TO be convinced that the existing currency
system is 10 need of some radical change.
The Secretary of the Treasury has been
informed that the present currency OF
British Honduras was demoneiized on
October 25 1894. The demouetized coins
will be redeemed at the rate of 80 cents
of the new cure ,cy for esotfdoilar OF the
demonetiZed currency. Gold dollars viii
hereafter be the standard coin of Hon.
dnras. Hitherto the currency has been
the silver coins of Central and South
America. The effect OF this action, there
fore, is the demonetization of silver.
New YORK, Nov. 14-It is repor ted here
that the President is considering the idea
OF submitting to the country a plan for
currency reform. He believes that the
currency system is inherently vicious, that
il is responsible for the financial ills which
must recur so long as it is maintained.
Satisfied with this diagn osis, be will un-
doubtedly prescribe remedy calculated
to give the finances permanent health, be-
lieving possibly that this can be done only
by supplantiog the present system. The
subject will be the dominant feature in his
message to Congress in December. 1t is
said he will favor many OF the suggestions
made by the bankers national convention

The designation Of Mr.. Hamlin to act as

which has prevailed in the Treasury De-
pariment ever since Mr.. Carlisle has been
Secretary. Each of the three assistants
serve 10 their capacity for half year

they sign all papers of routine character,
thus relieving the Secretary FROM
