NEW FINANCIALMEASURE.

It Will Embody Some of Secretary Car
 lisle's Recommendations.
 Washington, Dec. "A new financial measure, embodying to some extent the recommendations of MT. Carlisle's report, will be brought to the atten- ton of the house this session. Some months ago a subcommittee of the house committee on banking and cur rency was appointed to consider the va rious financial bills before the commit tee, and to formulate, if possible. some measure which would supersede the present national banking system and give to the country more elastic cur rency.
 MT. Cox of Tennessee was made chair man of this subcommittee and his two democratic associates were Messrs. Culberson of Texas and Cobb of Mis- souri. The republican members are Messrs. Brosius of Pennsylvania, and Haughen of Wisconsin.
 It Is the intention of MT. Cox to call his subcommittee together this week, if several of the members now absent from the city arrive in the meantime. He said to-day that 1t would be his purpose to hold daily sessions until some measure to be reported should be agreed upon.

SUGAR MEN IRRITATED.
A Renewal of the Difficulties That Once
 Caused a Scandal,

A Renewal of the Difficulties That Once
 Caused Scandal.
 New York, Dec. 1.-The sugar brok- CTS of New York city met to-day to act on complaint against the classifi- cation of sugar in the appraisers store. It appears the classification made is not uniform. The importers claim that sugar coming from the same port is appraised under different classified tions Representatives of every sugar firm attended the meeting. A resolu- ton was adopted authorizing the chair man to appoint committee of five to wait upon Secretary Carlisle.
 The sugar men are much irritated over the renewal of the difficulties which caused sS much scandal during the first Cleveland administration. Charges of favoritism in classification were made to Secretary Fairchild and after a thorough investigation resulted in February, 1889 in the removal of Ap- praaser McMullen and seventeen em- ployes in the sugar division, including the assistant appraiser, examiners and minor employees. Dr. Sherer, who had charge of the polariscope tests and bore the brunt, and other employees were reappointed by Appraiser Cooper under the Harrison administration and are still holding office

SOME REFORM IS NEEDED.
OPINIONS OF BANKERS ON sECRE-
 TARY CARLTsLE,s SCHEME.

Ca 'hier sherma of the Gaiiatin National
 Rank Thinks the Plan is Good One. Hut
 ths Main Thing is to Get Kid of tho Green
 back Notes.
 New York. Dec. IA large number of bankers were asked to-day what they thought of Secretary carlisle's currency reform scheme as enunciated in his report. Most of them begged to be excused from expressing an opinion on the plan until they had read the re- port thoroughly. President J. A. Stew art of the United States Trust compa- ny said: q have not had time yet to thoroughly study the plan of currency reform as proposed by Secretary Car Qsle, but everybody knows that some reform that will give elasticity to the currency Is needed"
 Cashier Arthur Sherman of the Gal latin National bank said: with e few notifications I think the plan a good oiiS. T ue Hidiii tiiil6 is to BCt iiu VI the greenback notes. The present sys- tenn of bank currency has no right to be called a bank currency, for practi- cally the notes are government notes issued to the banks. The latter are forced to buy bonds in order to issue notes. and they have thus to tie up more money than they put out"
 'It would not be fair to myself" said President Williams of the Chemical bank, "to discuss this plan now. Later I may say something"
 President McMahon of the Emigrant Savings bank was of the same opinion, and Mayor-elect Strong, president of the Central National bank, said he was 30 busy he had not even time to read the presidents message, much less any thing of Secretary Carlisle's.

EX-GOVERNOR ABBETT' DEAD.
He Was at One Time Presidential Fossil
 bility.


 bility.
 Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 4-Ex-G Cover nor Leon Abbett of New Jersey died at his home here this afternoon. He had been i'll for ten days with diabetes. This afternoon it became apparent that the end was approaching. Immediate relatives of the family were summoned and they had scarcely arrived when the governor breathed his last.
 Governor Abbett was born in Phila- delphia in 1886. He was educated in the public schools of that city, and adopted law as profession. He came to New Jersey in 1862, and for the last twenty-five years has been one of the leaders of the democratic party in this state. He was twice governor. MT. Abbett had held many other offices. In 1868 he represented the district of New Jersey in the assembly, and was chosen speaker of the house. He was reelected and was again chosen speak er In 1874 he was elected state senator from Hudson county. He became cor poration counsel of Jersey City in 1878, and held that office until he was elected governor in 1883.
 He was delegate to the national democratic convention in Baltimore in 1872 and was chosen one of it's secre- taries. He voted for Thomas F. Bay ard for presidential nominee, believing that the nomination of Horace Greedy, who was ultimately nominated, would be disastrous to the party. Ex-Gover- nor Abbett had attended every demo- cratic national convention since then, except the one that nominated General Hancock.
 At the convention in 1884 Governor Abbett was mentioned as presidential possibility. In 1876 he tried hard to get Joel Parker nominated for president. In 1877 MT. Abbett was president of the senate. '-- He aspired to become United States senator, and in 1877 the office was al- most within reach, but an anti-Abbett combination was formed and Rufus Blodgett was chosen senator with the aid of the republican minority. In 1892 he was again a prominent can didate for United States senator, but at the last moment MT. Smith got the office. e.ea. Mr. Abbett was about the same time appointed supreme court judge. He held that office at the time of his death. The ex-governor was also member of the Jersey City board of education. !, The ex-governor leaves two children. Colonel Leon Abbott and Mrs. c. L. Post. .'7>a
 The funeral services will be held at the family residence on Thursday night at o'clock. The interment will be in Greenwood on Friday morning. ]
