The Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company is just completing
some extensive improvements in its
Montana Idaho system, among them
being the construction of thirty miles
of double circnit lines from Helena
to Marysvlle. The announcement
was received in Butte Thursday
from the executive officers at Salt
Lake that the extension will be con-
tinued on to Great Falls in the early
SPRING General manager Murray
was in the city few days ago on
tour of inspection over the system.
He reported the line in good shape,
and the extepsion just made and
those contemplated in the spring
will add greatly to the service, as the
new country to be tapped is full of
business. The people of Great Falls
will get telephone connections early
in the new year, just as soon, in fact,
as the snow has disappeared suffic-
iently to enable the field forces to
get down to work.

within the limits of seventy-fve per
cent of the capital to be as quickly |
made as emergencies arise. In ad-
dition to the guarantee fund requir-
ed, it is proposed to provide safety
fund for the immediate redemption
of the circulating notes of failed
banks by imposing small annual
tax,-say one-half of one per cent
upon the average circulation to each
bank until the fund amounts to five
percent of the total circulation out
standing. When bank fails, its
guarantee fund is to be paid into
this safety fund and its notes are to
be redeemed in the first instance
from such safety fund thus augment
ed, any impairment of such fund
caused thereby to be made good
from the Immediately available cash
assets of said bank, and if there
should not be sufficient, such impair
ment to be made good by prorata as
sessment among other banks, their
contributions constituting first lien
upon the assets of the failed bank in
favor of their contributing banks.
As further security it is contemplate
ed that the existing provisions fixing
the individual liabilities of stockhold-
ers is to be retained, and the banks
Indebtedness on account of its circu-
lating notes is to be made first lien
on all its assets. For the purpose of
meeting the expense of printing
notes, official supervision, cancella-
ton and other like changes, there
shall be paid tax-say one-half of
one per cent per annum-o on the av-
erage amount of notes in circulation.
1t is further provided that there shall
be no national bank notes issued of
less denomination than ten dollars.
That each national bank, except in
case of a failed bank, shall release
or retire it's notes in the first instance
at its own office and at agencies to
be established by it, and so a fixed
reserve may be maintained on ac,
count of deposits. Another very i'm.
portant feature of this plan is the ex.
emption of state banks from taxa
tion by the United states in case i,
is shown to the satisfaction of the
secretary of the treasury and comp
troller of the currency by banks
claiming such exemption that they
have not had outstanding their cir
culating notes exceeding seventy
five per cent of their. paid-up and un
impaired capital; that their stock
holders are individually liable fo
the redemption of their circulating
notes to the full extent of their own
ership of stock; that the liability o
such banks upon their circulating
notes constitutes under their stat,
law first lien upon their assets; tina
such banks have kept and maintain
ed guarantee fund in United State
legal tender notes, including treasu
ry notes of 1890, equal to thirty pc
cent of their outstanding o cir
culation notes, and such banks hav
promptly redeemed their circulating
notes when presented at their princi
pal or branch Offices. 1t is quit
likely that this scheme may be use
fully amended in some of it's details
: but | am satisfied it furnishes basi
for very great improvement in on
present banking and currency sys

ence of the queen. 1t is freely stated
that it is believed Mr. Gladstone had
gone to the palace in order to officially
tender his resignation to her majesty.
Premier Gladstone's audience with
the queen lasted half N hour The
queen returned to Windsor at :, .. ~
In spite of the host of rumors in cirru-
lation regarding the premiership, no
definite statement is possible at the tim"
a p. m.) this dispatch is filed. The gen
eral opinion seems TO be, however, that

AT A WHITE HEAT.
Very Much Warmth Engendered by
Discussion Of Invalid Pensions In
Committee.
Republican Members Charge the Pen.
sion Commissioner With Violat-
ing Law.
Judge Cox Again Restraints COMmis.
siOner Lochren From Reducing
Judge Longs Pension.

WASHINGTON, March There have
been two or three meetings Of the COM
mittee on invalid pensions lately at
which the discussions have waxed to a
very high heat. In one form or another
the policy of the pension bureau in sus.
pending pensioners underlies most Of the
contention. When the proviso was in
serted in deficiency bill last December,
that a pension should be vested right
to the extent that it could not be sus-
pended or taken away without 80 days
notice to the pensl0ner and information
of the nature of the charges against him,
the principal bone of contention was
thought to have been removed This
legislation was inserted in the bill at the
sua yestlon of the chairman of the COM
NIT, Representative Martin, an In
diana Democrat, although it had pre-
viously been urged by Republicans on
the floor of the house.
Charges are now being brought for
ward by Republican members that the
commissioner Of pensions is ignoring the
act of last December. Specific cases
were called to the attention of the house
by Representative Tawney of Mime
soto, in resolution of inquiry regard
ing the construction placed upon the
law by the interior department.
Chairman Martin of the committee
has intimated that if these charges can
be sustained, an ironclad resolution or
act which would force the department
to carry out the views of congress in its
policy, should be passed
Another pension question before the
house will be raised over the action of
the committee in voting on Tuesday to
make an unfavorable report on the
bill of Representative Pickler of
South Dakota, to throw open the
files of the pension bureau to
pensioners, applicants and their at
torneys. Members of the committee who
are supposed to be in touch with the
bureau opposed the proposed innova-
tion on the ground that it would make
much additional work for the pension
office clerks and create confusion among
the bureau. Mr.. Pickler. on the other
hand, argued that applicants or PEN
sioners should in justice be allowed to
review all the evidence against them in
possession of the authorities and not be
left to fight in the dark A minority
resolution In support of the plan will be
presented to the house. 1t is supposed
that the lines of battle will be sharply
drawn.

KEEP UP THE STANDARD.

Consuls at Belfast and Liverpool Say Our
Flour Is DepreciatinG In Quality.
WASHINGTON, March /. The United
States consul at Belfast, Ireland, report
ing upon the American -four trade with
that section, points to a serious danger
arising from conviction that the
American standards are depreciating.
He cites complaints that the American
millers are sacrificing quality to guam
tity in their new patents. Indian wheat
promises to make a formidable oppo-
nent to the American staple, and it be-
hooves American millers to keep up
their standards to the highest point.
The consul at Liverpool makes a sim
liar complaint as to the falling off of
standards, and warns American millers
against sending their goods on consign-
ment instead of holding them until
sales are effected.
