teries what are called columbariums, vast
vaults of romancsque designs, where the
urns are ranged in orderly design and
where the surviving friends Of the dead
visit with the Same interest and solcmnity
with which one visits any ordinary burial
spot. On Decoration day, for instance, &C
cording to tho New York Sun, authority
for the following, nearly 200 persons Wis
tied the columbarium at Fresh Pond and
decorated the urns there contained. This
building is an example of all used by
ercmationists for such purposes. 1t has
walls of pure white and Il vanished floor
and is lighted by stained glass window
ornamcnted after the manner of cathedral
windows. All around the walls, ranged
in rows and tiers, arc Roman inches for
the cincrary urns. These inches are built
22 inches in height, with an archcd dome,
and are nearly feet deep and contain
urns Of an almost uniform height of IS
inches These urns when unused are all
pure white, but when filled are decorated
with appropriate frescoes.
These decorations reflect the varied
tastes of their owners for all are owned,
just US burial vaults in cemetery arc
owned, in pcrpctuity, and they are bought
in groups for families.
The cremationsts insist that in tho
Roman inches they have solved the prob.
lem of n becoming repository for inciner
ated remains that secures sanitary safety
without burying the remains from the
sight of tho living.
Cncrary urns arc made nowadays of
various materials, ranging from hard
metal that IS p"actic indestructible 4

oeerstary Carlisle Stretches the Law to
Squeich American Interests.
The attitude of our secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Carlisle III desiring to ac-
coumodate the foreign manufacturers
asd the importers of foreign goods is
quite in keeping with the free trade pol
ioy of his party. Were it otherwise we
should be surprised at reading the fol-
lowing extract from a recent Washing
ton dispatch:
Secretary Carlisle is especially anx-
ious to find some law of construction by
which he can admit goods which under
the present law are datiabie and are
now in bond, but which become free
under the new tariff law, into the Unit
ed States free Of duty without subject
ing the owners TO the expense of export
ing them and then reimporting them. F"
1t is very evident that the German
tariff bill did not authorize what Secre-
tary Carlisle has since permitted Had
the new law been explicit n so doing
there would have been no occasion for
the secretary of the treasury TO be ''es-
pscially anxious" TO oblige his foreign

Springer and Carlisle Yester-
day Arranged Its Details.
II Will Be OFFERED TODAY.
Two Very Important Features Ap-
pear in the New Bill-Other
Washington News.
Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Carlisle
currency bill now before the house OF
representative will be withdrawn anc
Ia substitute presented. This decision
was Reached after caucus OF the
Democratic members of the banking
and currency committee quietly held
last might, followed by a conference
betwleen Secretary Carlisle and Chadr.
man Springer roday. The substitute
HAS ALREADY been drawn and will be OF.
fered by Springer today or tomorrow.
certainly before the holiday recess, as
the desire of adj concerned is to get
lt before the country prior to adjourn
menE. 1t differs very materially from
THE original Carlisle bill.
Two very Important features appear
for the first time in the substitute. The
original Chrdisle bill contemplated that
all national banks reorganize under a
new plan. This would have required
them Ito surrender the government
bonds which now constitute the basis
of their circulation. The substitute doee
AWAY with Nhls imperative change. II
the national banks wish to continue
to hold their United Stales bonds and
issue circulaItion thereon, they may do
so. 1T is felt they will soon discover
the advantages of Uhe new system and
therefore adopt lit voluntarily. The 9TH
er important FEATURE of the substitute
is that Ut does away with khe unknown
of banks to guarantee the notes
of all other banks. The original bill
contemplated THAT II national bank
Jailed Tits notes were to be paid out OF
its assets and the general safety fund.
made up by all the banks. But If khe
asssts and safety fund were insufilcaentl
70 pay the notes Of the flauled bank,
Then the comptroller of currency has to
make a pro rata assessment and shoul.
ier them with an unknown risk. In
effect, Ut made them supply an insur-
lnce ON an the NOTES of banks In which
they had no concern. In view Of these
THE substitllhe will do away
With the assessment plan. The safety
'und win be limited to decent llabll-
ty of all banks for the failure Of inti.
ddulal banks They WILL however be u
compelled to keep up this safety fund
~ more rigid provisions than proposed
n the original bill
The sentiment was general that thel
Ill would have to be materially chang
ID in order Ito meet the objections and
command the support which would be
to secure its passage The
Ieeded amendments were formulated,
md when the caucus adjourned Vt was
Ict contemplated that the Carlisle bill
hould be more THAN amended. It was
rranged that Springer should see the
ecrdsary today and submit the con.
changes
When Secretary Carlisle and Chair
ran Springer met today 1t was deter.

BATrUE SHIPS VS.. CRUISERS.
The Former Stood the Heavier Fire in
the Yalu Battle.

Washington. Dec. 2i.--One OF the Of
ficers Of the United States navy who
Is attached to the Asiatic station. has
sent o report Regarding the naval bait
tie betweer the Chinese and japanese
cit the Yailu river. His report in sub
stance shows that the heavily armored
vessels were practically uninjured by
the Japanese fire. and this fact tends
strongly to bear out the arguments in
favor of the battle-shlp as against the
cruiser, as set out in the report of the
secretary of the navy TO congress.
Without doubt the report will be ex.
hiblted ITO the naval committee in con-
neeebon wBth the pending proposition for
the construction of three mere battle-
ships. 1t Is said THAT after the action
was commenced, the Chinese were un-
'able to mnlSe signals ON account OF fhe
shooting AWAY of the halyards, etc.
and therefore no tactical evolutlons
were performed by them. Each vessel
