Right of a Street Railway.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 10.-The
quarrel between the New York, New Ha-
ven q Hartford Railroad and the Bridge
port Traction Company over grade cross
ing privileges at Fairfield avenue at
the west end of the city was resumed to-
day. The Consolidated has been elimina
ting the grade crossing at Fairfield avenue
and the work has prevented the street
railway company from connecting its
line 20 Fairfield and Southport. The word
at the crossing is almost finished and the
traction company strung its wires and
was prepared to open up the road

ever work train with 30 Italians stopped
at the Fairfield crossing and in a few min
utes the trolley wires and cable were cut.
The police were notified but
the work train had departed before
they arrived. The railroad disputes the

tracks and there have been several quar-
rsls over the matter.

In the balance of the list, however, the

the weakness of Erie, which de-

also on story that heavy assessment

aided by realizing in Manhattan. c., b. q

AT WASHINGTON.
Carlisle Before the Banking
and Currency Committee.
He Answers Questions and Explains
How Easy it Will Be.
Nothing Of Importance I'm the Senate
or House Today.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 10.-Secretary Car
Isle appeared before the House committee
on banking and currency today
10 present in detail the features Of the
new cure cy plan proposed in his
adnual report and endorsed in the Presi-
dents message. There was much interest
in the hearing and it was felt that Mr..
Carlisle would lend a more popular inter-
est to the subject than had appeared
in the formal report. The crowd in at
tendance made it necessary to use the
large room of the committee on ways
ana means. Besides the full mem bership
OF the committee President Senior Romeo,
the Mexican minister and many members
OF of congress were in attendance.
Mr.. Carlisle adspted an eafy, converse
tional style OF address. He said he was
ready to answer qvestions from the COM
mittee to elaborate his own views. He
took up each section of his recent recon-
mendations.
"First: To repeal all laws requiring or
authorizing the deposit OF United States
bonds as security for circula-
tion. And second: Permit national
banks to issue notes to an amount not ex-
ceeding 70 per cent. OF their paid up
and unimpaired capital, but require each
bank before receiving notes to deposit
a guarantee fund consisting OF United
States legal tender notes, including treas
ury notes of 1890, TO the amount OF 80
per cent. upon the circulating notes
applied for. This per centage Of deposits
upon the circulating notes outstand-
ing TO be maintained at all times, and
whenever bank retires its circulation, in
whole or in part, its guaranteed fund to
be returned to it In proportion to the
amount of notes received"
Mr.. Carlyle said he was satisfied that
the present law requiring the
deposit of bonds to secure
the circulation prevented the elasti-
,ity of the currency. 'The pro-
sision outlined" said Mr.. Carlisle, 'gives
ample protection without the deposit Of
bonds as required by the present law"
Mr.. Carlisle said the practicable value OF
reserve fund of currency was shown
In 1891. There was q demand for money
aggregatlng $50 100000. The treasury
did its best to meet the stringency
but at the time the notes were ready to
distribute, the demand had gone by and
many of the packages OF notes were re-
turned unopened.
The secretary invited criticism of this
particular section. Chairman Springer
asked how the secretary's plan differed
from the Baltimore plan.
Mr.. Carlisle explained the technical
difference. The Baltimore plan proposed
a deposit OF 30 per cent. under certain
Conditions while the Treasury plan pro-
poses deposit of 80 per cent. When
a bank fails, the treasury plan contemp-
lated an assessment on all National banks,
they in turn having a lien on the failed
bank.

thority to change its name or lease or to

LAVE THEIR OWN METHODS.

rh. Ca.sownries Pursue n Plan OF Their
Own for Catching Fish.
"Tbe methods employed by the
cassowary in catching fish differ ma
terially from those Of the common
fab. hawk" said E. l.. Boardman, of
Hartford. 1.-THE flsh-hawk employs
very much the same methods as the
birds of prey, while the cassowary
fishes according to method of Its
own. and uses good deal Of strate-
gy. A number Of years ago l was
standing near the bank OF a river,
when saw a cassowary come down
to the waters edge and stand for
some minutes, apparently watching
the water carefully. 1t then stepped
into the river, where it was about two
feet deep, and, squatting down,
spread it's wings out, submerged
them, the feathers being spread and
ruff,ed. The bird remained perfectly
motionless, and kept its eyes closed,
as if in sleep. 1t remained in this
position at least half an hour, when
it suddenly closed its wings, and,
strengthening It's feathers, stepped out
on the bank. Here 1t shook itself
several times, whereupon a number
of small fishes fell out of its wings
from amid the feathers, which the
bird Immediately picked up and
swallowed. The fishes had evidently
mistaken the feathers for kind OF
wesd that grows along the river bank
and which resembles the feathers OF
q cassowary. The smaller fishes often
seek a hiding place In these weeds to
avoid the larger ones that prey upon
them"

THE Treasury Departments sum-
mary of immigration satisfies for the
last eleven months shows that the
decrease Of immigrants for the full
year will exceed $50, 900. The total
will probably be 100000 as against
$50, 600 for the preceding year. Hard
times in the United States, discour-
aging reports sent home by those
who actually left this country, &C
count for the decrease. That the
number of this class has been quite
large the reports of the steamship
companies show. The bars also seem
to have been kept up against I'M
desirable immigrants so as to keep
out contract and pauper labOrers.
Probably this decrease in immigra-
