As Result Of It it Is Believed That Some
 of tho Objections Made to tho Bankinf
 BnI VIII bo Met-Thero Will be No Con-
 fusion In It's Working.
 Washington, Dec. 20.-Mr. Springer. who has charge of the banking bill. had a conference this morning with MT. Carlisle regarding the criticisms which had been made by the opponents of the measure. As result of the conference several amendments were agreed upon, which MT. Springer believes will meet some of the objections.
 The Carlisle bill. for example, limits to 75 per cent. of the capital stock, the circulation which can be taken out under 1t. Under the seventh section 1t Is claimed by some members certain banks having more than 75 per cent. of circulation would be permitted to take out circulation to the full amount of 90 per cent. of the capital stock. instead of 75 per cent. This apparent, but not real conflict, MT. Springer explains, will be remedied SO that there will be no con- fusion, and if any bank has such ex- cess 1t will be required to retire it by depositing greenbacks for the payment in manner now required by law for re- tiring circulation
 It is believed that the amendments agreed upon by Messrs. Springer and Carlisle, as well as others, which MT. Springer has announced his purpose of offering and such as the democratic majority may deem necessary to per- feet the bin be combined with those portions of the bill which now meet approval and will be offered as a substitute for the Carlisle bill in order to avoid the tedious delay which would result from their consideration as sepa- rate propositions.

MANY IDENTIFYING CASES
Considered at Last Nights Session of Tax
 commission. ~

commission. ~,'
 The tax commission met last evening and heard petitions for the abatement of taxes. The commission is composed of Aldermen Hitler and Gallagher, representing the city, Selectmen Cun- ningham and Brown. representing the town, and Messrs. Moran and Asher in the interests of the school district. The absentees last evening were Brown and Moran. Immediately after the meeting had been called to order the commission organized by electing Se-' lectman Cunningham chairman, and Alderman Gallagher secretary.
 Julia B. Moves of 121 Farren avenue petitioned the commission for the abatement of two years taxes. She claimed that she was eighty three years old and her husband still older and that by reason of their advanced age they were incapacitated for werk and had practically no income other than sufficient to support them. Under these circumstances they were unable to pay their taxes. '.' '" E
 John T. Pickett of 209 Davenport avenue asked that his taxes for the year 1892 might be abated. He claimed that he was eighty-three years old, in poor health, nearly blind and in con- sequence of his infirmities was unable to do much work. What little work he was able to do was hardly sufficient to keep himself and wife from want. The petition also set forth that Pick ett's wife had been sick for the past ten years.
 Many F. Merriman of e6 Green street asked for the abatement of her taxes since 1888. She Is sixty-seven years old and sick. Her husband is also partially blind.
 The story told of Charles and Maria Taylor of 114 Adeline street was per haps one of the most pathetic brought to the attention of the commission. The parties are colored and were for merly slaves. They own the little property in which they live and which is assessed at $725. On this is a mort- gage of $4Oo. The members of the commission were told that Mrs. Taylor was sixty-nine years old and her hus- band still older. Her husband had been a servant of the late pr. William H. Thompson of Fair Haven during the war for the union, but was not an enlisted man and in consequence could not draw 8 pension from the govern ment. The husband has been unable to work for over two yeary and the entire support os the couple is secured from the small ap,clat which Mrs. Taylor is able to earn. This only to B and out of thls she has to keep her interest paid up. She is also suffering from an incurable disease. The petitioner asks for the abatement of two years taxes, amount Ing to about $S2. ks.a RI
 Several other petitions were also con. sidered by the commission, afterwhich . report on the cabes was formulated in executive session. This report will be presented to special meeting of the board of aldermen to De hsldtthis evening. x

NO RIGHT IN THE SEALS.
Secretary Gro.hsm Tells Why Tribute Was
 Paid to England.

Secretary Grosham Tells Why Tribute Was
 Paid to England.
 Washington, DC, Dec. 20.-Secretary Gresham to-day furnished the house full information touching the payment by the United States to Great Britain of s425,000 for damages growing out of the Behring sea controversy. In trans hitting the papers to the speaker Sec retary Gresham makes the following ex- planation:
 The Paris tribunal of arbitration held that the United States had no righ tof protection or property in the fur seals in Behring sea outside the ordinary three-mile limit. The arbitration com mission found that number of British sealing vessels were seized in Behring sea or warned therefrom by cruisers of the United States on days and places specified, but left for future determina- tion the questions as to the value "of the said vessels or their contents, or either of them, and the question as to whether the vessels mentioned in the schedule to the British case or any of them were wholly or in part the actual property of citizens of the United States"
 If the plan of settlement recommend ed by the president in his last annual message is not acceptable to congress the remaining controverted questions h lot ai,1oa cit hHyt hn ganization of a joint commission or by negotiations between thu two. goyern- ments. @
 International commissions are slow and expensive. Should such a course be resorted to the evidence would be found mostly on the Pacific coast wide ly scattered, and counsel would be needed to examine and cross-examine witnesses.
 The question of indirect or consequent tial damages having been withdrawn from the tribune of arbitration the pending claims are for British vessels actually seized in Behring sea or warn- ed of it by cruisers of the United States.
 The agreement to pay a lump sum of $425,000 in settlement of all demands authorized to be made under the treaty and award was proposed by this gov ernment. The amount is considerably below the damages claimed by Great Britain, exclusive of interest for number of years If this agreement does not receive the approval of con- gress and the disputed questions are submitted to an international commits sion 1t is believed that the amount al- lowed will largely exceed $425,0OO. The secretary submits that a prompt and final settlement of the controversy by an appropriation of the lump sum agreed upon is advisable. ..
