AMENDING THE BILL.
Carlisle and Springer Talk Over the
Currency Measure.

Carlisle and Springer Talk Over the
Currency Measure.
Washington, Dec. ga conference
was held at the treasury department
between Secretary Carlisle and Chair
man Springer, Of the house committee
on banking and currency, relative to
amending the Carlisle currency bill
now before the house. The subject
was gone over fully, and as a result of
the talk Mr.. Springer will propose
number of amendments designed to
remove some of the objections ad-
vanced against the bill One objection
is that under section some banks
may be permitted to take a circulation
of 80 per cent of their capital Stock
while the bill limits circulation to Is
per cent Of the capital stock. This
would be remedied by requiring the
excess, if any, to be retired by de-
pcsit of greenbacks under existing pro-
visions Of law. The time in which the
banks will be required to comply with
the new law may be extended for two
years, and the house may fix by
amendment the time at q more re-
mote date. The bill will make it clear
that the holders of national bank
notes will be protected during the
time the old banks are conforming 10
the new law.

World's Fair Oncials Expose Pretender
to an Award
Chicago, ILL.,. Dec. 24.-One or the
odd results Of the Worlds Fair IS the
claim now made to awards by some
who were not even exhibitors. ON.
Gals Of the Exposition have not as YET
taken final action In the matter, be-
licving the quick wit Of the people
will detect the spurious claims. bct
to the case of sew York bakihG
powder, that has been widely adver-
Using an award, the attention OF the
Chief Of Awards of Agriculture, nus
been directed. He brands the claim OF
this pretender as false, declaring
"Neitler the records Of this depart
ment, nor the official catalogue OF the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, show
that this New York company was not
exhibitor; consequently it could not
have received an award Mt the World
Fair"
Those who fairly won the honors at
the Fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should De
treated. The Price Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, having receiv-
ed the highest award, say they are
convinced their claims, and those OF
all other holders of rightful honors,
will be fully vindicatcd by the public.

piled.

In his possession pair of queer,
wrinkled, old-time saddle-bAgs, and
there is an abundant reason to be-
lieve that they belonged to Captain

til he is able to recover certain papers
proving the genuineness of the relics,
which have been mislaid. The saddle
bags are heirloons and came to him
indirectly through IN ex-governor of

bags says: II have read the papers

The population of France has in.
creased since 1856 only about $4,000 a
year. The fact that Paris alone grows
faster than this shows that the pro-
vinces are declining in population. In
thirty years Z per cent of the rural
inhabitants of France has moved to
the cities. This is the tendency in all
civilized countries, and the question
is where it will lstop.

Attempted Robbery.

Perry, Iowa, Dec. 22.-An attempt
was made to rob the vault in the coun-
ty treasurer's office at Abel last night.
The burglars pried open an iron shut
ter and entered the Office through a
window. They drilled a hole in the
vault door and attempted to blow the
door open, but the drill had broken off
in the hole and the charge failed to
work. They were frightened away or
gave up the job. The burglars stole
hand-car and escaped without dis
coyery.
