The king rose to meet us. He is about
forty, tall, handsome and stately In

many Southern Europeans. He wore a
military coat and sandals of sea grass,
but his finely shaped limbs were bare.

wife, came in, and a handsomer
woman I never met. She was

red belt, that served to reveal every

party, and has affiliated with it ever

partisan, and has rarely taken a marked

his rifle, such as one sees among the

This man was reticent as to his own
past, but he would talk freely and in-
telligently upon any other subject. Old
prospectors knew him when they first
came to the mountains a generation be-

He always paid his way with gold dust,
of which he had always a large quantity
about him; and it was belle qed he knew
more about the undeveloped, l was
going to say undiscovered, gold mines
of that land than any living man.
His hobby was THE Gold Caves of
Montezuma.' He claimed that when
Mexico was conquered by Cortez, silver
was more valuable than gold, the latter
being very abundant, There was an
Aztec tradition that this gold came from
caves In the Sierra Madre mountains.

THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Tho Entire Time Devoted to Discussing
the State Bank.Tax.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Immediately
after the routine morning business Of
the House Catchings reported from the
committee on rules an order respecting
the further consideration OF the bill to
repeal the State bank tax. 1t provided
for discussion throughout to-days ses.
sion under the hve~minute rule, the
vote On the pending amendments and
passage to be taken Immediately after
the assembling Of the House to- morrow.
Leave to print remarks on the bill was
granted to all members. the privilege to
extend over period Of ten days. After
short debate between Reed and Catch
ings the resolution was agreed to 90 to
II.
Springer presented the substitute OF
the committee on banking and cur.
rency for the original Brawley bill, as
follows:
AS the operation OF sections 3412 and
34l3, revised statutes, and sections ls,
20 and FL OF the act to amend existing
customs and internal revenue laws, and
for other purposes, approved February
8, 1878, and all other sections OF said
revised statute, and all acts and parts
OF acts imposing q tax of 10 per cent. on
the amount OF certain notes when used
for circulation and paid out, be and are
hereby suspended as TO any such notes
which were Originally issued between
August l, 1893, and October Is, 1898;
and no such tax shall be collected on
the amount of any such notes. provided
that nothing has or shall suspend the
operation of such acts as to the tax on
amount of any such notes paid out and
used for circulation after June l, 1894.
Cox (Tenn.) offered his amendments,
repeating all laws and parts of laws
which impose q tax upon State bank
circulation. Bowers (Rep, Gala said
the bill was intended as q premium upon
the violation of laws, q notification to
the banks that, having made their pile,
the penalty Of the law would not be en-
forced against them for subsequent vic
lations, and notice to the country that
the New York banks, like the New York
newspapers. were torun the government.
Grow (Rep Pa said o national bank
WAS just as much local bank as though
1t had been chartered by State The
system was all right. 1t had been
, passed upon by the courts, it was in
successful operation: but change the
conditions under which circulation was
issued, SO as to give it moro elasticity,
greater elasticity and greater volume.
Harter (Dem., Mo-, said that the
trouble with the country was not that
1t suffered from an insufficient volume
OF currency, but from the quality of the
currency, iss infexibility and inability
TO perform promptly the purposes OF
money at the places where it was
needed. In concluding, he pleaded with
Republicans, upon patriotic grounds, to
vote for the repeal of the law asserting
that with the accomplishment Of that
purpose would disappear the greenback
craze and the free silver craze
williams, of Mississippi, and Wheeler,
of Alabama, spoke briefly on the bill,
and at 5:35 o'clock the House ad journed
until tomorrow at noon.
