THE CARLISLE BILL
Reported by Banking and Cur
rency Committee.
The Bill Likely to Receive Strong
Opposition in the Senate
In Shape OF Bill Drawn tor Same Purpose But
in Other Lines.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Mr. Springer
chairman of the banking and currency
committee, this morning. submitted the
report accompanying the Carlisle bill
The report contends that if the provisions
of the bill relating to state banks is OBJ
served, it will throw around the state
bank circulation the most essential safe
guards provided for IA national currency.
If they are not observed,a 10 per cent. tax
will be imposed and the notes will be sup
pressed. In conclusion the committee
says:
1.-The extraordinary conditions which
confront the treasury department has con-
strained the members of the majority of the
committee, while not agreeing to all the
provisions of the bill, nor all the reason
ing employed in this report, to concur in
reporting the measure to the House for
consideration, each reserving for himself
the right TO offer such amendments as he
may deem proper and vote on the bill
finally as he may determine

THE SENATE SCHEME.
Secretary CarisIe's Bill! to Be Met BY Another
Plan in the Senate.

Washington, Dec 17.-When the Car
Isle currency reform bill reaches the Sen
ate, it is asserted that it will probably be
antagonized by measure now receiving
the consideration of some of the leading
Democratic senators. This Senate scheme
is not yet perfected in all its details. The
senator who has taken an active interest
in the matter says it is designed to bring
the currency question back to solid
Democratic foundation.
As outlined in general way the new
scheme contemplates: Issue by the Uni
ted States of all money necessary for the
people; the retirement of all kinds now
issued by the government, and the substi-
tuition therefor of single paper below the
denomination of 50, and the retirement of
all the national bank note circulation
national banks to be continued, with this
exception, that as at present under govern
ment control and supervision; free coin
age of gold and silver alike at the mints
of the United States.
The advocates of this plan claim that
all of the good qualities Of the national
banking system will be retained by the
proposed method and only the dangerous
power that banks possess-that of coming
money--will be eliminated. They say ii
it is necessary to have n basis Of circula-
ton for United States money, n bond is
sue of $500, 900, 600 can easily be floatcd
and the money can be kept in the treasury
as the basis for the circulation of United
States notes which are to take the place
Of the seven different kinds of United
States money now in use
1t is pointed out that in the present
condition of the gold reserve, there is be
hind each dollar ilf the treasury issues re
doemablc in gold, but 20 cents, and the
difference between this 90 cents and the
face value of the treasury issues is simply
the credit and good faith of the United
States. This also is the case with
national bank notes.
A bank note is based on United States
bonds and the bonds are issued and the
money thus obtained has already been
utilized and the only thing behind Uni
ted States bonds of an aggregation of over
81, 600, 900. 900 is the promise to pay
at maturity by the government; SO as a
matter of fact, it is claimed, all the obliga-
tions of the United States, with the ex-
ception of gold and silver coin and gold
and silver certificates, is simply fiat
money. with no substantial basis for re-
demption except the good faith and credit
of the government.

FAILED TO APPEAR.
Every Opportunity Given the MaIign-
ers of Lewiston Police Force
To Produce Their Evidence. But They Are
Conspicuous by Their Absence.

Lewifton, Dec IL (SpeciaD. The
committee on police of the Lewiston city
government, held a meeting, tonight, to
listen to any and all who had evidence
that would tend to show cause why there
should be an Investigation of the police
department. Prof. A. W. Anthony, who
made the sensational charges two weeks
ago, and which appeared in the Journal,
was asked by Mayor Noble to attend
tonight's meeting with such evidence as
he might have in his possession that
would be of service to the committee.
Prof Anthony declined to attend the
meeting for reasons best known TO him
self.
The professor said to citizen, today,
that he had facts reduced to writing that
would support all the charges he has made
against the police department, but he was
going to keep them to himself.
1t was not but short time before this
fact became known on the street quite
generally and there has been more or less
unfavorable comment regarding it.
Mayor Noble said to the Journal, to-
night: "These shots fired from long dis
tance any man can afford to ignore.
The meeting of the committee, tonight,
was held behind closed doors and only
those allowed present who had been asked
by the committee. Alderman Murphy,
who introduced the order to investigate
the charges of Prof. Anthony, which order
was referred to the committee, was present
but filed no charges.
In the absence of any evidence before
the committee of any irregularity or gross
negligence in the police department, the
committee adjourned and as a natural
consequence will be obliged to report to
the city council that no charges or evil
dence has been brought forward to war
rant an investigation.
Thus it will be seen that Prof. An
thony's ''shot from a long distance" has
failed to hit any substantial mark and ex-
plodes on the desert air.

A BOLD ATTEMPT
To Wreck Boston Maine Train, Recently
Near Lynniield. Mass.

Lynnneld, Mass, Dec. lit has just
leaked out that very bold attempt was
made to wreck the passenger train on the
Western division of the Boston & Maine,
a short time ago James Ramsdell, owner
of an extensive granite quarry here, was
walking home, few evenings since, up
the railroad tracks. At a switch Of side
track which leads to the quarry he discoy-
cred several large iron plates wedged into
and between the rails solid and fast and
had great difficulty in removing them
before the arrival of the train leaving
Boston at D. 45 z. NJ.
Mr.. Ramsdcll reported the matter TO
the railroad officials, who had been work
ing on the case ever since. The iron
plates were driven and wedged in between
the rails of the main line and switches so
that it would have been impossible for the
train to have passed over them safely,
and would have thrown the train on the
side track into the granite quarry. As
the train is one of the heaviest loaded
with passengers passing over the road
during the day. the loss of life would
have been very heavy.
