Republicans and the Democratic Veteran,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
house went into committee OF the
whole without preliminary business TO-.
day aud resumed consideration Of the
pension appropriation bill. Mr.. Gros-
venor, (Rep. Ohiol, took the floor and
delivered speech of an hour, in which
he criticised tho attitude OF the pension
office toward the pensioner and pension
claimant.
He reviewed the policy OF the Office,
detailing the evidence OF alleged hos
tility toward the soldier and citing
many instances OF injustice. Mr.. Morse,
(Rep. Mas..), and Mr.. Lacey, (Rep.
iowa), followed in the same strain.
Mr.. Sickles, (Dem. N. W expressed
his disgust with the frequent recurrence
to the Presidents message and in the
report OF the interior aud commission

tho pension roll. For the last time
probably before his retirement from

his old comrades from this slander, with

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.

Leading Citizens OF Georgia Said to BE
Members OF tho White Cap organIza-
tlou.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 14.-In the trial
Of the Whitfield county white capDers
in the United States court to-day, evi.
dence of highly sensational nature
was given by one OF the witnesses.
The case on trial is that OF the United
States against G. G. Brown, Berry Tur-
ner and W. B. Callahan. The witness
who furnished the sensation was Mr..
G. +. 0gles, a well-known citizen OF Til
ton. He said that in the spring OF 1892.
he met with crowd OF men in an old
barn at Tilton to form an organization
for mutual protection. He had been
advised to join it because he would be
safer inside than outside of 1t. Among
those who were present were J. Z.
Joyce, constable, and number OF well
known citizens, including W.. L.
Brown, a Methodist preacher.
In talking with other men il Whit
field county he found that they were
members. The witness, then told the
court that Green Treadwell had told
him that Mr.. Paul Trammell, United
states revenue collector for the north
ern district of Georgia, Mr.. Trammell
Starr, state senator from that district,
Representative Longley, MIR. Martin, a
lawyer, and John Black. the mayor of
Dalton, were members OF the organiza-
ton and would protect any of them
who got into trouble or were taken be-
fore the courts. The story is not be-
lieved here. Collector Trammell and
Mr.. Starr both laughed at the statement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
Democratic members OF the banking and
currency committee held an executive
meeting to-day Immediately after the
adjournment OF the regular hearing and
after an hours discussion decided to re-
port the Carlisle bill without amend
mens The full committee will hold an
executive session tomorrow night and
it is expected that report will be or.
dersd on the bill before the meeting ad-
journs. All Democratic members Of the
committee were present at the meet
ing to-day and Secretary Carlisle also
attended.
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 govern
ing the procedure has not been pre-
pared. but it will probably provide for
consideration of the bill in committee Of
the whole, and will allow certain num-
Der Of amendments to be offered and
voted upon, as we'll as substitute, with
possible amendments to the substitute.
The Democratic members did not fad
themselves agreeing with each other In
regard to the bill. In fact, several OF
them remarked that 1t was bill that
did not satisfy any one, but compro-
mise measure, while all agreed that
something must be done with the cur
rency problem at once;
There was a spirited incident before
the banking and currency committee
to-day, when 1t resumed consideration
OF the currency question. Representa-
tive Walker, Of Massachusetts, said be
understood q programme had been
quietly agreed on, by which the cur.
rency bill would be considered by the
Democrats OF the committee tonight,
by the full committee tomorrow night,
and presented to the house Monday.
Chairman Springer said this programme
was mere surmise. all that the COM
mittee had actually done was to agree
to a meeting Saturday night, it being
understood that final vote on the bill
could then be taken.
AIr. Walker thereupon moved that
the committee should reconsider such
agreement. Ho protested against this
undue haste. "We have been turning
over this currency question for the last
ten months" said Mr.. Walker. "At the
ond of that time Secretary Carlisle
comes in with bill which he tells US
he dictated hurriedly to his stenogra-
pher before coming to tho committee
room. No man living could prepare a
measure affecting such vast interests in
less than a week. Yet this is the bill
that is to bo reported oH'hand. This
haste is not becoming to US as leglsla-
tors. There should be full considera-
ton OF the question without limit OF
time"
Mr.. Walkers motion to reconsider
was voted down by strict party dt-
vision-namely, yeas-Walker, Brosius
and johnson, OF Indiana, Republicans.
Nays-sperry, Cox, ELIAS, Cobb, OF
Missouri; Warnor, Black, of Georgia,
aud Springer, Democrats.
Ex.Represeutative A. ]. Warner. OF
Ohio, president OF the Bi-Metalllc
League, addressed the committee. going
into the principles Of the currency
question. lie urged that an elastic cur
rency, such as Secretary Carlisle sought,
was an imposslbility, as prices rose as
fast as currency increased.
