a Spirited Incident at tho Meeting OF

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA There was a
spirited incident before the banking and
currency committee today. Rspressn.
tative Walker OF Massachusetts said be
understood a programme had been
quietly agreed upon by which q cur
,ency bill would be considered by the
Democrats of the COMMITTEES tonight. by
the full com mittee tomorrow night, and
presented TO the houee Monday. Chair.
man Springer said this programme wa 8
mere surmise. All the ommitse 9
had actually done was 10 agree to meet
ing Sunday night, it being understood a
final vote on the bill could then be
taken. Walker thereupon moved that
the com mittee should not consider such
an agreement. EWa
"We have been turning over the cur
rency question for the last 10 months, !"
said Walker. Sat the end of that time
Secretary Carlisle comes in with bill
which he tells us he dictated hurriedly
to o stenographer before coming to the
committee room. No man living could
prepare q measure affecting such vast
interests in less than q week. Yet tn is
is the bill that is to be reported off
hand. This hasta is mot becoming to
us as legislators. There should be Q
full consideration of tho question with
out limit OF time" gs
Walkers motion to reconsider was
voted down by strict party division.

An Attempt to Hold Up an Oregon Train
b. fiji d.
GRANTS PASS, Or, Dec. 14-One OF
the coolest attempts st train robbery
ever made in this state was frustrated
last night about dark, five miles east of
this city. Az the north bound overland
Southern Pacific train pulled out from
Woodville. small station nine miles
from here, two masked tramps were
seen by the trainmen TO attempt to get
aboard, but for some reason failed to
make it and were left behind. When
about four miles out red
light swung across the track, and
three men near it plainly indicated they
were woud-be robbers. Instead of
stopping, Engineer Mccarthy pulled the
throttle wide open and loft them be-
hind. The men all had on masks and
were armed, but further than this no
description can be obtained 1t is sup
posed the intention was for the two men
to board the train at Woodville, and
when the men ahead were sighted to
cut the train in two, taking the express
Car ahead with the engine and loot it.
The failure of the first m on 70 board the
train is presumably all that saved the
train from being robbed. No indica-
tions of any attempt to wreck the train
could be found.

George o. Perkins Likely to Go Back to
tho Senate.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA The Exs
sminer says: A poll of the Repu blfcan
members OF the legislature indicates that
George G. Perkins will succeed himself
as United States senator, both for the
unsxpired term of Leland Stanford and
that of six years, commencing March
4th next.
There is scarcely doubt as to such q
result, should the election be deter
mined by a caucus, as is the rule in
such cases. There will be 25 Repub-
licsns in the senate and So in the as
sembly. making total of 88. A ma
Jority OF this number Is 45, and exactly
that mum Der have expressed the mselves
in favor of Perkins. These figu res are
made by the addition of IL senators and
33 assemblymen, who have declared
their preference for him. To these
muet be added proportion OF six mem
bers OF either house who have not been
heard from, b alf of whom it would be a
fair presum ption TO say would support
his candidature. OF the remaining 80
Legislators, one is for Charles N. FELTON,
and the balance favor NJ. II. dc Young.

yelled Senator Bradley. The subp@uas
were issued.
'Tt looks ss though the men who tell
the truth are to be suspended by the
board, :" said Senator O'Connor.
'It's abominabls," was Senator Lex
ow's verdict.
Everyone spoke at once. Indignation
prevailed.
The subpoena officers soon performed
their work and Commissioner Martin
resumed the witness stand. He had
not known that the committee was
desirous of retaining Captain Creedon.
or he would have done otherwise. He
had voted for Creedon's suspension
upon the recommen dation of Superin-
tendent Byrnss. Martin said he was
desirous of working in harmony with
the committee on purify ing the police
department. He promised to do all in
his power to restore Oreedon.
There was more applause. which WAS
increased by the appearance of Superin-
tendent Byrnes. He said Creedon's case
was different from that of other ed
police captains. When Creedon was
appointed be swore that he had paid no
m onsy to secure the appointment. The
superintendent had recommended the
suspension because OF Creedon's 9 perjury,
and because Creedon had Acknowledged
his guilt before the committee. But
Byrnes also promised to do all in his
power to obtain Captain Creedon's res-
toration. The audience applauded the
superintendent.
The committee adjourned to Tuesday
to avoid all anxious speculation being
INDUCED in as to the next stop in this
startling exposure.
Police Justice Voorhees,. who is to-
night one OF the most talked of men in
Now York, this afternoon denied the
allegations made against him before the
senators.
Another feature OF the day which was
generally discussed ON the streets was
Mr.. Goff's invitation to Richard Croker
to appear before the committee and
deny the charges made against him.

STABBED TO DEATH.
A San francisco Drug Clerk Murd cred
by Burglars.

by BurglArss
SAN FRANcIsco. Dec. 14.-Eugene
Weir, drug clerk, was killed early this
morning by burglars who subseq quently
rifed the cash register Weir was about
to close up the store in which he was
employed. policeman found the door
open and the remains of the murdered
man in the cellar with 26 stab wounds
in his breast and side. The proprietor
gu bseq uently found almost all the money
in a secret hiding place. only small
amount OF silver being left In the cash
register.
There is absolutely no clue to the per-
petrators OF the horrible murder. The
police seem to no absolutely in the dark,
their main efforts being to trace the
young mans associates, both male and
female.
The robbery theory has been aban-
doned, and the motive for the murder is
now ascribed to jealousy on the part OF
some rival, for young Ware was
quite ladies' man. and his female
acQuaintances can be counted by the
score, some go es far as to believe that
a woman's hand welded the knife that
deprived the murdered man Of his life !;
and this theory is not without some
foundation, for Policeman Galloway says
that about five weeks ago. while passing
the drug store in the course OF his duty.
he noticed the usual single light was
not burning, and on trying the door it
opened and Ware came out from behind
the prescription counter and said, IT'S
all right"
Galloway noticed a woman behind the
glass, but there being no light, he could
not recognize her. Ware had 80 many
lady callers at the store that the mana
ger had to put stop to the visits, and
these facts give many the idea that a
woman caused his death, either directly
mr. indirectly

Walker. He said he had at first agreed
to q meeting tomorrow night. because
he knew the majority had virtually
agreed on bill and was rendy to push
it through the committee. so it was
useless to resist haste.
Ex.Representative A. ]. Warner OF
Ohio, president OF the Bimetallic league,
addressed the committee, going into the
principles of the entire question. He
urged that an elastic currency, such as
Secretary Carlisle suggested, was an i'm
possibility, az prices rose as fast as the
currency increased. Mr.. Warner said
the history of the world proved that the
gold standard could not be maintained
by giving to the banks the power OF ex-
panding the currency. He was amazed
that this proposition should be made in
this enlightened age, in the face of the
financial experiences of the world.
A long discussion arose between Gen.
Warner and Mr.. Sperry over a question
by the latter as to the effect that the
increase of the circulation would have
upon tho price Of labor. Mr.. Sperry
called attention to statement made by
the treasury department, showing that
the circulation in 1873 had bean $771, =
000.000, whereas in 1893 it was over
81, 200, 900, 900, and asked him how he
reconciled the facts with the decrease in
wages. Mr.. Warner replied by challeng.
ing the treasury report OF the gold in
circulation at the present time. which
he said WAS 100000 beyond the facts,
and referring to the increase of popula-
tion and wealth. Mr.. Sperry did not
consider the reply as adequate, and in
timated that II Mr.. Warmers theory had
nothing more to stand on, it must fall
At l :l5 p. m. the committee took o
recess for an hour.
The hearing was resumed in the after
noon with A. L. Ripley, vice president
OF the National Hide and Leather bank
OF Boston, on the stand. He character.
lied the soneme Of issuing demand
notes redeemable in gold as thoroughly
vicious. Under this system banks had
no means OF adjusting their reserves to
meet the demand of the times, thus
compelling them to keep a reserve
which at one time would be too large
and at another time too small. He op-
posed state banks, because of the need
of uniformity. A speedy and uniform
system Of redemption he considered as
necessary, and this he thought could be
bestsecured through the national banks.
Referring to Secretary Carlisle's bill,
Mr.. Ripley said he thought the tenth
and eleventh sections would open the
gates to extensive counterfeiting unless
changed. He also thought the provision
for redemption in the caee OF national
banks would be found inadequate. The
secretary's plan in this respect would,
If adopted, mark retrogression in bank.
inc He conaidarad tho nfaaant avatam M
safer than the one proposed.
The committee adjourned with the an
nouncement by the chairman thai
Messrs. st. John and Williams Of New
York would be heard tomorrow.
