4 POSTAL SAVINGS PLAN.
0enatoe Kyle Has Advanoesl N I1ea Thaa
May Possibly Become Law.

0onAtoe Kyle Has Advanced N Idea That5
May Possibly Become Law.
The present financial stringency and
trouble with savings banks and other in
stitutions of deposit have suggested to
Senator Kyle Of Dakota a postal savings
scheme. He is Of the opinion that the
designation Of certain postofices in vari-
GUS parts Of the country as receivers for
small deposits would be advantageous,
and bill is now before the senate COM
mittee on postofices providing for the
details of such plan.
1t is proposed to receive small deposits
at money order Offices, for which inter
est at the rate of ~ per cent per annum
will be paid. The depositors will receive
stamps in denominations ranging from
10 cents to 81. These are to be kept as
securities by the depositor and are trans
ferable and redeemable on presentation
at any money order Office, proofs Of
course being required as to the identity
of the holder. The money thus accumu-
lated by the government is to be loaned
to farmers on first mortgage security on
lands worth 5000 and over at 4 per cent
interest.
The scheme is not wholly new or
wholly impracticable. Postal savings
banks are regular feature of the Brit
tsh and continental postal arrangements
of Europe. Mr.. Wanamaker was warm
advocate Of the idea while he was post
master general. There is little doubt
but that some plan of making small de-
posts through the postoffce would be
useful to persons far removed from saw
ings banks and other banking institu-
tons. They would make the hoardings
of many people available in the interest
bearing funds. The banking project,
however, of loaning money to farmers
on real estate is matter upon which a
difference of opinion might readily ex-
list. AS consequence it would be quite
necessary to discuss this feature of the
Kyle bill exhaustively.
It is to be hoped that a good working
postal savings scheme will be developed
in this country in the near future While
it may not be needed to the degree that
it is in some foreign countries, it would
undoubtedly prove a great public con-
venience and an inducement to more
general saving among persons of small

CONVICTION FOR BRIBERY.
Jury in the Case of John T. Callahan
Return a Verdict of Guilty.

New Orleans, Aug. 22.-In the criminal
district court to-day the jury in the case
of John T. Callahan, which has occupied
the attention of the court since Monday,
Aug. 10, at II 30 a. m. returned an IN
qualified verdict of guilty.
The crime for which Callahan was con-
vlcted was demanding and receiving a
bride, while a member of the city council,
on Nov. : last, from Lyman S. Widnev,
manager of the PENNSYLVANIA Coal Com
pany, the consideration being the intiu-
ence and vote of Callahan in favor of the
passage of an ordinance transferring the
rights and privileges of B. d. Woods q
sons TO certain coal landing on the river
front to the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pauy.
The testimony showed that the princi-
pal witness, Mr.. Widney. accompanied by
Elmer +. Woods. had gone to the city
hall TO have the transfer ordinance pre-
pared aud introduced, and was referred
TO Callahan. The latter said that they
must pay $500 for the privilege of having
the transfer ordinance passed and when
Messrs. Woods and Widney protested
they were told that others wanted the
privilege and that similar grants had
been paid for AS it was necessary for
them to have the coal landing, Messrs.
Woods and Widney had to pay the money.
each standing half of the amount.
Widney paid the money to Callahan on
Nov 8, in his Office on Carondelet street
When the case was tried all these facts
were proven beyond shadow of doubt
The punishment provided for the crime
is Imprisonment at hard labor from one to
five years.
Callahan was first indicted with other
councilmen under the act of 1878, but
Judge Noise quashed the indictments on
the ground that the act of 1878 had been
repealed. The men were reindicted under
the act of 1880. Other city officials who
are now under Indictment for bribery are

Washington, Aug. 22.-The gold re-

being a gain since yesterday Of nearly

ceased it is noticeable that more gold
coin than usual is being paid in at New

amounting to s-l0ths Of per cent. this

Senators Aldrich and Quay were at
work this morning endeavoring to smooth
the way for the passage of the House bill
through the Senate that cOrrectS the err
rOr made III the tariff bill, relative to the
rebate on alcohol used in the arts and
sciences. Such action, owing to the alb
sence OF quorum, can only be had by
unanimous consent Ii is under
stood that il the bill does
pass the Senate il will 20
back to the House in q very different
shape from that in which it left it. The
sugar men will amend it by lacking on to
1t as rider the Mckinley bounty or the
bounty Tor the crop of 1894, and il is not
improbable that other amendments look
ing to the protection of some industries
that suffered by reason of the tariff bill
viii be made to the bill. The House will
-
to these amendments or permitting the
error regarding alcohol TO go uncorrected.
So many disturbing reports have been
made as to the effect of disputed points in
the new tariff law that Secretary Car
Isle, 1t IS said, will make public an official
statement as to to his understanding of
its provisions. 1t is well understood in
the treasury that the secretary will CON
strue the disputed provisions in a liberal
way in accordance with the manifest in
tent of congress, not taking advantage Of
bubbles based upon mistakes of punctu-
alton, but keeping in view the purpose of
the lawmakers.
Speaker Crisp is quoted as saying that
he felt very certain that the tariff bill
will become law. He does not expect
the President to sign 1t, but thinks it
will become law without the executive
signature, and that congress will adjourn
within an hour after this fact becomes
known to the members and senator's

Washington, Aug. 22.-The session of
the Senate to-day lasted only an hour and
