payments for bonds In actual gold.

WITHIN TEN DAY S
When the Tariff Bill Will Be Reported
to the Senate.
Republicans, 1t In Said, Are Not In
clfned to Help Democrats in
Opposition to the Bill.

The expectation Of the democrats of the
committee on finance Is that they will be
able to report the tariff bill to the Senate
within ten days. and the time generally set
for the final passage Of the bill through the
Senate is about the 4th of March. Republi-
can members Of the committee think it not
improbable that the bill may be passed by
the first week in March. Most Of the re-
publicans are in favor Of declining all as
sistance to the dissatisfied democrats toward
any modification of the bill.
They think, however, that the Senate bill
will differ materially from that passed by
the House, and will not be surprised II
the bill passed Is d worse one, from their
point of view. 1t Is believed that the in
come tax will remain in the bill, and It is
said. that In addition to the three populist
votes. there will be five republicans who
will aid the democrats in preserving this
feature Of the bill.

FOR AN ELASTIC CURRENCY
Representative Warmers Measure to Re-
lieve the Stringency.
Some Of the Provisions and Why II fs
Preferable to Other
Bills Suggested.

Representative Warner On. - has in
troduced bill for an elastic currency
1t contains many of the provisions Of the
bill which was reported by the subcommit-
tee on banking and currency as a measure
for repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on state
banks. Speaking of his bill and explaining
its provisions, Mr.. Warner said:
1T differs mainly from that recommended
by the subcommittee in that the plan is
more simple. and less a concession to alb
stract state rights
Its essential points are:
First. that it leaves currency to be SUD-
piled by local institutions under state laws.
under strict limitations, but without any
dependence whatever upon government, ex-
cept In administrative features.
second, that by putting these administra-
tive features. including printing Of the notes,
inspection OF issuing banks. &C.. under the
controller Of the currency federal SUPER
vision Is assured; and, third, that IL gives
to national banks similar opportunities to
those afforded to state institutions.
The Importance of this in promptly secur-
ing a safe and elastic currency will be ap-
preciated, when it Is noted that the 400
national banks now scattered throughout
the United States are the only institutions
which are prepared by experience to han
die bank note circulation, and that, in
many of the states, such as Texas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois. and Others, there is no state
institution qualified to issue note currency,
even though federal restrictions are re-
moved.
To one who is mainly anxious to keep
himself in accord with the democratic plat
form a mere repeal of the tax upon state
note issues may seem sufficient-to one who
believes not merely In the letter. but the
spirit of the Chicago platform and wishes
safe and elastic currency. free from fed
eral dependence and control, the present
national banking system presents itself as
one which under present conditions Ii is
essential to utilize and against which. un-
der any conditions. we should not discrim-
mate"

AN OHIO APPOINTMENT.

He Knows He Has to Go and Wants
to Go mt Once.
Washington is full of people who want
office and people who have office and
want to keep it. There is no lack of either
variety. Indeed. there are some folks who
think that the market is overstocked
Therefore. the presence here Of a man who
has an office and is only anxious to lose It
Is blessing and a relief. This anomaly
Is Mr. John w. Heron. at present the un-
willing district attorney at Cincinnati, who
Is here for the purpose of committing oni-
cial suicide. Mr.. Heron. who has a large
legal practice in Cincinnati. was appointed
by President Harrison. and. owing to the
democratic strife for his place, he has
been allowed not only to I'LL out his
entire term OF four years, but to
hold over by reason Of a supreme
court reappointment, while the President
mas been worrying over the rival claims
to the plum. Mr.. Heron realizes that he

ance q: OF the President, and as his practice
Is worth more than the salary of the ONCE
he is anxious to get out of harness as
soon as possible So he has come to WASH
ington to plead with the powers to take
his head OF. He finds IL about as difficult
to get out of Office as it was to get In. The
Attorney General has politely complied with
his request, SO far as making a recon-
mendation to the President, but as the
latter Is In a peculiar quandary, he is not
In a hurry to act.
Senator Brice and ex-Gov. Campbell are
the controlling and opposing forces in the
distribution Of Ohio patronage, under the
present regime. and the President, after
recognizing Campbell in appointments, has
placed the Cincinnati attorneyship at the
disposal Of the Senator. Some time ago the
latter recommended Mr.. Harlan Cleveland,
a relative of the President, and a promis-
ing young lawyer. The President told the
Senator that he did not care to indulge In
Iepottsm, and asked him to submit an
other name. Up to date Mr.. Brice has
failed to do this. and so the matter rests
Mr.. ]. d. Ermston is considered the most
promising candidate at present. There are
some important cases to be brought to trial
in Cincinnati, and II Is being urged that
the new attorney should be put in power
at the earliest possible moment to enable
him to make proper preparations

PRIVATE ARCHITECTS
Are Entitled BY Law to Make Plans
for Public Buildings.

The executive committee Of the Institute
of American Architects, with Mr.. Daniel H.
Burnham of Chicago as president, submitted
an argument to Secretary Carlisle and AS
sistant Secretary Curtis at the Treasury De-
partment for the enforcement Of the law
providing for open competition in the maxi
ing of plans for public buildings. They pro-
tested against the erection of the public
building at Buffalo under the plans pre-
pared by the government. without compe-
tition, and discussed these plans as an illus
tration Of the necessity Of improving the
service.
The committee contended that the law
was ample and sufficient for all practical
purposes and that the Secretary Of the
Treasury was authorized to make proper
regulations for it's enforcement. 1t is un-
derstood that the committee submitted a
draft Of regulations that would meet the
principal objections that have been made
to the enforcement of the law The reason
given for the non-enforcement of the stat
ute is that 1t is vague and indefinite and
makes no provision for its execution. The
committee admitted that 1t was somewhat
general in it's provisions, but that the
Secretary Of the Treasury had ample au-
thority to prescribe the essential details

The Representative From Massachu-

A member of the House delivered the
prayer which opened the proceedings Of

short prayer, but covered the ground to
the apparent satisfaction Of the congrega-
ton.
The House met at IL o'clock this morn
ing. The fact of the early meeting was
practically unknown and not dozen mem
bers were in the chamber when the hour
arrived. They were the habitual early
birds or those who accidentally found
themselves up early. The chaplain was not
among the number.
When the Speaker raped the House to
order he announced that prayer would be
offered by DIR. Everett. The venerable

rostrum and in a clear and unhesitating
voice pronounced one Of the formal pray
ers of the Episcopal service. Then he re-
sumed his seat in an unconcerned manner,
as IL he were accustomed to that kind Of
thing every day. DR.. Everett's biography

q three years cruise in China and Japan
he was sent with the patrol feet in Bering
