Gates were not issued against it. But
still the repeal of this section was not
an essential part of his scheme. His
own view was that it would be benefici-
al to the Government not to issue these
certificates, but to have the treasury
hold gold and pay it out so as to get it
into ciculation.
To Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Carlisle said that his theory con-
cerning national banks was that the
Government should be wholly divorc-
ed from relations with them, except
in so far as it was necessary to throw
safeguards about them in order to in
sure their stability and reliability.
His belief in this connection was based
on both constitutional and practical
grounds.
THE BILL INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 11.-NIr.
Springer, of Illinois, today introduced
in the House the financial bill which
Secretary Carlisle read to the commit
tee on banking and currency. The
bill repeals all Acts and parts of Acts
which require or authorize the deposit
of United States bonds to secure cir,
culating notes issued by national
banking associations and such notes
hereafter prepared shall not contain
the statement that they are SO secured.
National banks are permitted to
take out circulation to the extent of rs
per cent of paid up capital. Circula,
ton to be first lien upon assets. A
tax of ] of l per cent per annum on
circulation is provided.
A satisfactory safety fund for the
redemption of notes of failed banks is
provided by tax of ! per cent per an

cent of the total circulation. Sections

I desire to state that no rebate OF
freight on these shipments has been
allowed by these roads toyou or to any
one else.
"As to the Atlantic Coast Line, ]
have Just received telegram from MIR.
IT. NJ. Emerson, traffic manger of that
line, emphatically denying that any
rebate has been allowed on such ship
ments over his road. I may add that
was present at the interviews be-
tween the traffic managers of those
two lines and yourself, at which the
freight rates on dispensary shipments
were discussed and fixed and that at
these interviews, while you endavored
to secure as favorable rates to the State

AS to the allegation that Governor

There has perhaps been more said
about the rebate matter than anything
else. Yesterday Mr.. Hubbell, who is
here looking after the interests of the
Mill Creek Distilling Company made
statement which is given and in
which he insists that no rebates were
ever allowed or paid any one for the
dispensary purchases. When asked
what he knew about the rebate matter,
he said:
IF the Mill Creek Distilling Com
pany had issued rebate vouchers to u.
H. faxler, commissioner, they would
have charged 7 cents proof gallon
more for the goods they sold him that
were produce by the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding Company. 1t was
certainly more to the advantage OF
the State to buy goods without the
seven cents voucher than to pay seven
cents additional for the whiskey and
take a voucherforit payable six months
from date. For that reason we never
issued voucher to Mr.. Traxler, COM
missioner, for the State of South Caro-
lima"
"Mr. Hubbell, this is very well, as
far as it goes, but the people of South
Carolina do not know very much
about the rebate matter and the details

IT rs not matter OF special wonder
that, in the struggle between China and
Japan over the Corean troubles. the
eympathies OF the American people
should be largely with those OF the
island kingdom. This is owing, In q
great measure, to the representatives
sent to Washington by those nations
since the signing OF the treaty with
Japan just forty years ago, created by
the diplomacy OF Commodore Matthew
G. Perry Of our navy. The Japanese is
: man OF progressive ideas, while the
Chinese is simply the son of his father.
China was familiar with the use of gum
powder whom the men from whom we
are descended were half naked savages,
subsistiDg by the spoils of the chase and
living in caves along the sterile British
coast, yet China has never yet been able
70 make a gun that was dangerous at
any distance above GOO yards. Japan,
on the other hand, has always shown
herself ready to adopt American ideas
and is the most progressive and ingen-
ions Of all the oriental nations.

AMUSE EMENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-If Mr.. Har.
rigan had never accomplished anything
else in his life, his writing Old Lavender
and his playing of the title role should
be enough to make his reputation. 1t
is one of the sweetest, cleanest and
noblest plays ever written. Old Laveu-
der is. if such thing can be imagined,
q Colonel Newcome addicted to drink,
for in all that goes to make the gentle-
man old Law Is fully equal to the colonel.
The character is simply charming F.;
as played by Mr.. Harrigan its qualities
are marked by q aentleness, high
minded openhartedness, and tender
ness that are so perfect as to be lily
described by mere words. Never is a
suspicion of burlesQue permitted, while
at all times it requires q master hand to
avoid bathos and buncombe. 1t is one
of those bits of work which can never
be forgotten. 1t is every whit az perfect,
in its way be it rememb bered, as Booth g
Hamlet. Bernhardt's La Tosca, or
Mansfield's Chevrial, and will always
remain charming impression in the
mind Of everyone who sees it.
The play is nearer being an orthodox
play than any other OF Mr.. Harrigan's e
productions, but ia just the same, like
Reilly and the 400, q collection of inim-
itably perfect pictures OF New York
types, and its construction and particu.
larly the finale, is weak to degree.
But the fidelity to reality it evidences,
and the genius of Mr.. Harrigan makes ii
an artistic success.
Miss Emma Pollock deserves special
mention for the excellent way in which
she renders the difficult part of Dick
the Rat. In fact. all the company were
remarkably pleasing. Old Law will be
given on Saturday matinee. Tonight A
