ENGLAND AND THE MESSAGE.
sentiment of Papers over There Divided
on the Recommendations

London, Dec. 4.-The Pail Mall Gazette
commenting on President Cleveland's an
nual message says: president Cleve-
land reiterates his faith in free trade,
but we do not expect to get anything more
out of the tariff controversy. That chance
is lost until the democrats return to pow
err with sense in their heads. America
is going to bid for the supremacy of the
seas. While we do not fear the contest,
this policy will in time seriously affect
our carrying trade"
The Globe says: There Is no touch of
| spread-eagl eism in the message or the
| slightest desire to twist John Bulls nose
| on the contrary President Cleveland has
| the courage TO display friendly attitude
toward Great Britain on certain ques
| tions. which, If roughly handled, woult
| easily provoke international umbrage
| We advisedly call his language courage
Gus, for his careful avoidance of othe
sort of talk is certain to provoke th'
| wrath of the Irish Americans. As II
foreign affairs. so in domestic affairs, d
there ample proof that he has the courage
of his convictions"

bonds. 1t will he the first payment
made by the government on these

Pacific railroad debt can be reached at

The Central Pacific Company has in

arisen whether the government could
not appropriate this fund to the pay
ment of the bonds on maturity. Secre-
tary Carlisle Is considering the question

MAKE BANKS RICHER

Argument Of His Chief.
NO BILL UNDER TEN DOLLARS

Establish the Gold stand
ard, He Says.

Washington, Dec. 4.--The annual re-
port of the secretary of the treasury
was sent to congress today. 1t is vol
luminous document. The report deals
largely in statistics. the recent bond is
sue and makes recommendations which.
in the opinion of the secretary, will i'm
prove the financial system of the gov
eminent. He calls attention to the in
ability of the secretary, under existing
laws. to make adequate provision for
support of the public credit. He says
the well-known defects in our financial
system, and the serious evils threat
ened. have done more than all other
things to check the industrial and COM
mercial progress of the country. The
secretary says:
1.-THE only part of the currency pos
sessing in any degree quality of elias
ITCHY is that issued by the national
banking associations, and 1t is now gen
orally conceded that it has failed to
meet the requirements of the situation
at some of the most critical periods in
the business affairs of the country. Its
failure is credible, in my opinion. to
three principal causes: First, to the
large volume of United States currency
of various kinds kept constantly out
standing, making the contraction or
expansion of the comparatively small
national bank circulation less effective
than it would otherwise have been;
second, the difficulty and delay in pro-
ducing, and, to some extent, in retiring
the circulation; thirdly, and mainly, the
provisions of the law which require the
deposit of United States bonds to secure
circulation and restrict the issue in
notes to 80 per cent, of the par value of
| the bonds.
I'm addition to existing distractions
to the prompt increase and decrease of
circulation, the 9Th section of the act of
| July, 1882 which provides for the extern
sion of the corporate existence of ma
| tional banks, expressly prohibits them
| from retiring their notes to a greater
amount than $1,000, 900 in the aggregate
! per month, and advocates that no bank
which made deposit of lawful money
| in order to withdraw it's circulation
! shall be permitted to make any increas sc
| in its circulation for a period of six
months thereafter. These provisions
are so manifestiy in conflict with the
| dictates of sound policy that they re-
| quire no comment. In view of the fore
! going considerations and many Others
/ that might be urged in favor of organi
1 cation and reformation of its paper cur
! rency system, / have prepared the out
lines of plan which. in my opinion. viii

| from the burdens now imposed upon 1t

is A GOLD BUG.

The secretary further says: 80 long
as there are in circulation under au-
thority of the government two coins
UNEQUAL in value but equal in legal ten
der qualities, every consideration of
good faith and sound policy requires
a prompt redemption of the notes on
presentation in the kind of coin de-
manded by the holder and the constant
advance of such administrative meth
DDS as may be necessary to preserve the
purchasing power of the less valuable
metal This is essential to the continued
circulation of our standard silver dol
lars and their paper representatives at
par and to abandon this policy without
substituting a better one would not
existing but would entail additional
and greater ones.
This situation is the direct result
of our currency Legislation and 1t can
not be permanently avoided or even
| temporarily improved without material
changes in our laws relating to that
subject. These features are: First
| circulation of United States notes as
| currency and their current redemption
| in coin on demand: second, compul
! sorry reissue OF such notes after re
| demption; third, excessive accumula

Tho Execution.

COLUMBIA, Mss, February S.--After
an unsuccessful effort TO hang VIM.
Purvis, yesterday, the Sheriff gave up
the Job and the man who was under
sentence Of death for murder is still
alive 70 tell the story Of his own exeeu-
tiOu.
The crime for which Purvis was to
have been hung grew out OF 4 White
Cap outrage. The victim was a young
Marion county farmer named viii
Buckley, who worked one season and
with the money earned studied meGi-
cine the next. The employment OF a
negro farm laborer brought on White
Gaping, with which Purvis was con-
necled. Buckley went boldly 10 court
and testified, securing the conviction OF
several of the accused. Purvis swore
vengeance and about year ago Buckley
was shot at night while on his way
home. Clrcumstantial evidence pointed
TO PurviS as the assassin and he was
convicted aud sentenced.
The sentence was to have been ex-
ecuted yesterday, and everything was
in readiness. A large crowd had
gathered 90 see the execution, which
did not come of. The rope broke at
the first drop without in any way In
juring Puryis, aud ths spectators then
interceded in such manner as to in
duce the sheriff To refuse 20 proceed
with the hanging. An effort will now
be made 20 secure executive clemency.
Purvis has always asserted his inno-
cenee OF the assassination OF Buckley.
