IN charge of the bill. He explained that
Sl3s.OOo.OOO had been expended for pensions
missioner had estimated that the same SUM
would be expended during the present
year. The Commissioner believed that the
limit OF pension expenditures had been
reached, and that after wavering about the
present figure for three years 1t would be-
gin to decrease. The appropriation commit
tee had been allowed every dollar the Com
missioner deemed necessary. Speaking of
the work of the special examiners sent into
the field, Mr.. ONeil had read a letter from
which the latter had said that between 20
and 70 per cent. of claims specially exam
ined were allowed.

to Controller Eckels The letter to Mr..
Eckels was also read. In this Mr.. Walsh
states his objections to the Baltimore plan.
the first of which was that it does not
provide adequate security for the notes;
second, because ii throws on the treasury
of the United States Che burden of re-
deeming notes of failed banks, and third.
because the people wouIa never accept the
notes Of any bank noc properly secured.
He adds that the BaltimQre plan is nothing
but revival of the olQ New York State
safety fund plan. system which was aban-
doned long before the ofganization of any
national banks. In his epinion the proper
way 10 deal with the Currency is for the
government to issue an irredeemable pa
per cent. bond, which 9uld be made the
basis OF circulation for rational banks up
to the amount of the capitai.
A long discussion arose between General
Warner and Mr.. Sperry eyer question by
the latter as TO the effect that increase
of the circulation would have on the price
of labor. Mr.. Sperry called attention to a
statement by the Treasury Department
showing that the circulat.fn in 1873 had been
$771. .OO0, co., whereas in 1893 1t was over
s., 200, 600 900, and asked him how ne recon-
ciled these facts with the decrease in wages.
Mr.. Warner replied by challenging the
treasurys estimate of the gold in circula-
ton at the present time which he said
was 500 600 600 beyond the facts and by
referring to the increase Of population and
wealth Mr.. Sperry did not consider the
reply as adequate and intimated that if
Mr.. Warmers theory had nothing more to
stand on it must fall.

INVITATION WITHDRAWN.
Consul Jewett VIII Not Investigate
the Armenian Oufrapea.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE United
States will take no part in the investiga-
ton of the Armenian outrages. Finding
that the limitations imposed by President
Cleveland on the functions of United
States Consul Jewett were such as to pre-
vent his joint action with the representa-
tives Of other powers, the Sultan has with
drawn his invitation to the United States
to appoint a commissioner and conse-
quently, Mr.. Jewetts appointment lapses.
In Difference to the religious sentiment of
the country, as voiced by an incredible
number of petitions and resolutions of
mass meetings and private communications
from respectable citizens, the President
decided to allow Mr.. Jewett to investigate
and report on the actual state of the
Christians in Armenia, but in doing so he
felt obliged, In order to make it plain to
the powers of Europe that he had no in
tention to intruding on their domain, fc
await a request from the Sultan backed
by of the signatory powers. AS an
extra precaution against involving the
United States in any European disagree
ments that might follow the investigation,
Mr.. Jewett was instructed to make in
dependent inquiry and report only to the
State Department. These last restrictions
were apparently unpalatable to the Porte,
and so, by the withdrawal of it's invita-
.ton.. -Mr.-1eYett's appointmest is can

last night repeated that his connection

"You may state positively that there has

CARLIsLEys CURRENCY BILL.
House BANKING Committee will Re-
port II Without Amendment.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Democratic
members of the banking and currency COM
mittee held an executive meeting to-day
Immediately after the adjournment of the
regular hearing. and. after hours
discussion. decided TO report the Carlisle
bill without amendment. The full committee
will hold an executive session tomorrow
night, and it is expected that a report will
be ordered on the bill before the meeting
adjourns.
All Democratic members of the commit
tee were present at the meeting to-day,
and Secretary Carlisle also attended. There
were a number OF questions asked the Sec
retary regarding certain features OF the bill
by members who still had some misgiviEgs
about the advisability of passing such
measure. The Secretary was questioned
mainly on the subject of the parliamentary
procedure with the bill after it gets be-
fore the House. The committee on rules
has promised rule covering everything
that the banking and currency committee
may require and giving the bill right of
way over everything else. The rule gov
erning the procedure has not been pre-
pared, but it will probably provide for con-
sideration of the bill in committee OF the
whole and will allow certain number of
amendments TO be offered and voted on, as
we'll as substitute, with possibly amend
ments to the substitute.
The Democratic members did not find
themselves agreeing with each other in re-
gard TO the BILL In fact, several OF them
remarked that it a bill that did not
satisfy any one, but a compromise measure,
while all agreed that something must be
done with the currency problem at once
1t is understood that Representative Bland
has given up all hope of getting his free
coinage bill out of his committee, and has
determined TO offer his bill as an amend
ment TO the Carlisle bill in the House. If
IL is declared not TO be germane he will ap-
peal from the DECISION, giving the House
opportunity to vote on the proposition.
At the hearing to-day ex-Representative
A. j. Warner, OF Ohio, president of the BIZ
metallic league. addressed the committee,
going into the principles of the entire cur
rency question. He urged that an elastic
was an imposSibity prices rose as fast
as currency increased Mr.. Warner said the
history OF the world proved that the gold
standard could not be maintained by CIV
ing to the banks the right to expand the
circulation. He was amazed that this prop
ostlon should be made in this enlightened
age in the face of the financial experience
OF the world.
TNoch Plat, president of the Baltimore
Clearing House. was next heard. He said
ii embodied his views. Speaking of the fifth
section OF the Carlisle bill. providing for
a guarantee fund he said it would be safe
IL the strong banks could be gotten into
IL, which he considered doubtful.
Among the letters and kilograms read by
the chairman was a telegram from John
X. Walsh. president of the Chicago Nation
al Bank. saying IL had been impossible for
him to leave Chicago this week. but invit-
apS attention to = letter ta had Written
