WILLIT PASSTHE House?
Mr.. Springer Of Illinois
Strongly Favors the
Carlisle Plan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 1Ss4.-Mr.
Springer of Illinois, who has charge or
h pending Banking bill in the House,
had a conference this morning with Sec
rotary Carlisle regarding the criticisms
which have been made by the opponents
of the measure. AS a result of the con-
ference, several amendments were agreed
upon which Mr.. Springer believes will
meet some of these objections. The
Carlisle bill, for example, limits to seven
ty-five per cent. of the capital stock
the circulation which can be taken out
under it. Under the seventh section OF
the bill, it is claimed by some members,
certain banks having more than seventy
five per cent. of circulation would be per-
mitted to take out circulation to the full
amount of ninety per cent. of the capital
stock instead of seventy-five per cent.
This apparent but not real conflict, Mr..
Springer explains, will be remedied SO
that there will be no confiiction, and II
any bank has such excess it will be re-
CURED to retire it by depositing green
backs for the payment in the manner
now required by law for retiring circu-
Iation. 1t is believed that the amend
ments agreed upon by Messrs. Springer
d1lla al AoA OOa No 80
which Mr.. Springer has announced his
purpose of offering and such as the
Democratic majority of the committee
may deem necessary to perfect the bill.
will be combined with those portions of
the bill which now meet approval and
will be offered as a substitute for the
Carlisle bill in order to avoid the tedious
delay which would result from their con-
sideration as separate propositions.
Mr.. Springer believes that the bill will
pass the House by a fair majority, not
wsihstandihg the opposition of the Re-
publicans and some of the Democrats:
This opinion is also shared by Mr.. Hall
of Missouri, another Democratic mem
Der of the committee on banking and
currency. One of the amendments which
Mr.. Springer will offer to the bill will
provide that the banks now in existence
heed not comply with the provisions of
the bill until a year after its passage.
Mr.. Springer is willing that the debate
on the measure shall continue indefinite
ly. The more it is discussed, he said,
and the more 1T is studied. the more
certain it is to grow in strength among
the members of the House.

Them.
Shakespeare makes use of no fewer
than twenty species of British wild ami
mails. OF these, the badger, the otter,
and the water rat are once each employ
ed by name merely as terms of abuse;
the polecat and hedgehog are also terms
of abuse. but are so far described
as to be called Shrinking" and "thorny"
the dormouse and ferret are each used
as adjectives for sleepy" and fierce
the shrew gives its name to a. play,
but is never mentioned as an animals the
mole is mentioned twice as being blind
the wildcat once as Sleeping by day;
the coney as struggling in the net"
and dwelling where she is kindled";
the squirrel as 1.-The fairies eoachma-
kerr" and as having already boarded
than years nuts ON May Day.
The rat and the mouse (being only
the NJ. domesticus), required no OBJ
servation'' by the poet. So h a the
above represents the total of Shakes
peare's natural history with regard to
all but six of his British auadrupeds.
The poets only original references
to the weasel are plumbers. TIL bal is
mentioned three times as an dStu"i
animal-once wrongly, as a migrant X
the swallow, pursuing summer; once,
fancifully, as the "reremouse,'' out of
whose ''leathern'' wings Titania's elves
their coats; and once, finely, ''ere
the bat hath flown his clustered
flight" as fixing the hou of Duncan's
murder.
The fox, of course, affords endless
opportunities for metaphor n smile
and Shakespeare's. description of it, as
the fox of fable andrtradition, could not
be surpassed. Not being a beast of
the chase. 1t meets with nc sympathy
from the poet. Though innocent, 'let
him die, in that he is a fox, by nature,
proved an enemy to the flock" and
again, "a fox. when n has caught
her, should suretto the slaughter" while
his natural history of the animal is
confined to folklore, saws. and proverbs,
such as 1.-The fox banks not when he
would steal.' When the fox hath once
got in his head. he'H soon find means
to make his body follow TIC wake
a wolf is as bad as to smell a fox"
There is not even a single epithet in all
his references to the fox that assures
is tn atShakespeare yer noticed one

AN ANEODoTE OF DBAK,
How the Great Hungarian Used to
Get Rid of ROrcs.

A Hungarian paper says that FRANCIS
Deak, the Hungarians statesman, used
TO get rid of troublesome visitors by tell
ing them the following story
''Once, when in Paris, Napoleon l.. paid
a visit to a hospital for old soldiers. Here
he perceived among the rest a man who
had lost one of his arms. and he entered
into conversation with him.
Where did you lose YOUR armr asked
the Emperor.
A Austerlitz, Your Majesty.
" Then. no doubt, you curse the En-
peror and your country every time you
look at your mutilated limb?'
NO. indeed, protested the veteran.
for the Emperor and my native land I
would really sacrifice my other arm, If
needs be-
~ can hardly believe that, the En-
.'eror quietly remarked, and passed on.
But the soldier, anxious to prove that he
was in earnest, Immediately drew a sabre
from its shield and Topped off the other
arm"
Here Deak would pause and fix a pene-
trating look on his visitor.
well, what have you to say of such a
man and such an action?
"A most sublime act of self-sacriice!
A truly noble characterks This was the
style of reply invariably given.
but the story has one flaw" he would
gravely add.
What is that, pray2s
"I+ is simply impractieable. How
could a one-armed man contrive to cut
on his only remaining arm?'-Exchange.

The Court of General Sessions this
morning was crowded with Italians and
redolent with garlic. The adies wore
ra~inbow-hued shawls, and their coiffures
had a shiny appearance suggesting a
liberal use of hail oil. AS for the men,
a more villainous collection of dirty in
dividuals with murderous co~untenances
has never been seen even in the Court
of General Sessions.
The cause of the gathering was the
trial of. yincenzo Valino and Antoni
Carapine, charged with an atrocious
assault on Vincenzo Muchio of Bayonne
in Hoboken on st. Anne's Day last July.
The prisoners were defended by Lawyers
Wills and Archibald, and the Assistant
Prosecutor had charge of the case for the
State. On the table in front of this
official were two knives and a loaded
revolver. One of the weapons was really
an old-fashioned triangular bayonet with
a wooden handle, while the other knife
had a sheath and was about twelve
inches long.

boken on the feast day, and while there

some offence committed in Italy, and
Carapine, one of the defendants, simply
interfered to protect his friend.
Officers Lahey and Guinan, however,
happened to witness the ARRAY, and dis
tinctly saw Carapine holding the com
plainant down on the ground while
Valino plunged his stiletto into Muchio's
arm.

that any had taken place.

CONTRACTOR RYAN WINS.
Receivers a Judgment Against
K8VOnue.

A suit before Justice Lippincott yester-
day afternoon between Contractor MAJ
thew Ryan and the Mayor and Council
of Bayonne attracted much attention,
because it seemed as if that city must
nave been depopulated, so great was
the audience to hear it. 1t was a Cir
cult Court suit for damages, occasioned
by interfering with a certain contract
made for improvements on T~wenty-1fth
street in that city.
Ryan obtained the contract in Decem-
Der last, and began at once carting stone
and other materials necessary for NIL
ing. He was about to begin the digging
part of the work when a writ of GER
tiorari stopped him. He was obliged to
dispose of the material, he says, at a
loss. Besides, his profit on the stone was
gone, too, and this he estimated at
$216.26, while the remainder was the loss
on the stone itself.
The jury gave him a verdict for 81, o9S; 76.
and Mr.. Ryan was happy. In fixing this
award the jury did not establish the liza
bility of the city.
