NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY.
Brief Outline of the Main Points Of
Controller Eckels, RenOrt.

The annual report of Mr.. Eckels, con-
mitted to Congress on Monday, contains
the usual statistics relative to the organi-
zation OF new banks and the condition of
the banks in existence. under the ma
tonal system, we'll as the condition of
state. savings and private banks. The
controller makes an interesting resume Of
the results Of free Investigations conduct
ed throughout the past year as to the in
terest which women have in banks as
stockholders, ,depositors and employees, show
ing that such interest and participation
are much greater than has been generally
supposed. He also reports the result of
an investigation as to the extent to which
checks and other credit Instruments are
used in retail transactions. A special
chapter is given to show the number of
depositors in national banks and the ex-
tent of such individual deposits. The facts
developed in these Investigations are fully
set forth, and with them the conclusions
which they seem to warrant
The controller shows clearly the extent
to which the national banks have been q
source Of profit to the government and Of
great usefulness to the public in various
ways.
The greater portion Of the report is de-
voted to q discussion of the various sug-
geStions that have been made for an i'm
proved method of securing bank circula-
ton. The controller submits a general
plan for more elastic currency suitable
for the business needs of the country, and
gives practical illustrations of the desirable
ity of remedial legislation which Will do
away with those provisions of the national
banking laws which render ;he issues un-
der them inelaStic.

FATAL BOARDING HOUSE FIRE.
Two Inmates Found Dead in Their
Rooms.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December L.
Two persons lost their lives in a fire this
morning at the boarding house of Mrs. G.
p. Reeves. No. 31s South Broad street.
The dead are Mrs. Ella Ray Smith and
Miss Cullenden, both boarders in the house.
The fourth story front room was occu-
pied by Mrs. Smith, and the middle room
on the same floor by Miss Cullenden. The
firemen were on the scene in a few minutes
and at once turned their attention to rescu-
ing the boarders on the third and fourth
floors. All of these on the third were got
ten out safely, and the firemen rushed to
the fourth floors. They tried the doors OF
Mrs Smith and Miss Cullenden, but found
both locked. The doors were quickly burst
open. Lying on the floor in the front room
was the body of Mrs. Smith partly wrapped
in carpet which she had torn from the
floor In her agony. She had been sufrocated
by the smoke. Marks on the window sill
showed that she had made an effort to
raise the window, but 1T Is supposed that
In her weakened condition she could not
get Ii up.
Miss Cullenden was found lying across
the bed in her room, having also fallen
frCm isuffocation. She was dead when
reached by the firemen.
There were many narrow escapes. Mr..
and Mrs. II. &. Pollock occupied room on
the first floor. AS soon as they were
aroused Mr.. Pollock rushed to the moor
above to arouse his daughter. He was
partially overcome by the smoke before he
succeeded, and had to be carried from the
building.
E. l.. Rabourg who occupied fourth
story back room, had a thrilling escape
from sutocation. He saw that his escape
down the stairway was cut Off, and,
gathering up his bed clothing, rushed to
the window and waved frantically, en-
deavoring to attract the attention of the
firerlen. Fireman Rafferty, of engine No.
2 had by this time reached the roof of the
burning building and was attracted to the
side OF the building by Rabourg's wild
shrieks. Rafferty, took in the situation at
a glance. He rushed to the ladder, and.
procuring short piece of rope. dropped IT
to Rabourg. The latter, realizing that this
was his only means of escape, clutched the
slender strand and was drawn up on the
roof by the sheer strength of the fireman.
From the roof he was taken down the lad
der in safety.
The rear of the building was partially
Destroyed involving loss Of a few thous-

THE MESSAGE COMPLETED.
But the President Did Not Come t.
the White House Today.


The damp, disagreeable weather today
again interfared with the Presidents in
tention of coming into the city for the
purpose Of meeting the members Of his
cabinet at the White House. His improve
ment, while slow, has been sure and steady,
and warrants the prediction that he will
certainly be at the White House on Mon
day to receive the joint committee of Con-
gress always appointed at the opening
OF session to notify the President of the
assembling of Congress and its readiness
to consider any business he may choose to
present to it. The committee is invariably
informed that the President will communi-
cate with Congress in writing, and his an
nual message on the state of the Union
will be delivered to the presiding officers
of both houses almost simultaneously with
the report of the committee.
The Presidents message Is completed,
and will be set up and bound in pamphlet
form at the government printing Office be-
tween now and Monday morning. Mr.
Pruden and Mr.. Young, who usually copy
the message in manuscript for submission
to the two houses will be fully occupied in
completing that work in time. There is TO
doubt whatever that the document in its
written and printed form will be in COM
plete readiness for use on Monday. Unu-
sual precautions have been taken to keep
the message secret and render Impossible
Its publication second before the clerk of
one of the houses begins to read 1t for the
benefit of the members.

REP. DlNGLEY'S VIEW S
He Does Not Think Any Financial Legis-
lation Likely.
The Position of the Next Congress Oh
the Money Question Discussed
With Freedom.

Representative Dingley OF Maine says
that he does not anticipate that there will
be any legislation at this session OF Con-
gress of any moment beyond the appro-
priation bills. He does not believe that
there is any possibility of the democrats
In Congress agreeing upon financial
measure. and therefore does not think
that any recommendation on that subject
by Mr. Cleveland will be productive of
result. AS to what the republican Con-
gress may do on the financial question, he
says that the time is a little far off yet for
speculation.
He recognizes that it is quite possible that
the republicans of the House In the Fifty
fourth Congress might pass a financial
measure which Mr.. Cleveland would ap-
prove, but the fate OF such a measure Ill
the Senate would be uncertain.
Mr.. Cleveland" he said, ''is very much
of a republican, as far as his opinions on
the money question are concerned. he
comes from a section of the country where
the people are so strongly impressed with
the idea of sound money that even though
he is a democrat, he is imbued with the
same sentiments.
ION this question therefore, he is in dis
agreement with a majority Of his party.
although theIe Is a strong minority OF
sound money democrats. 1t would be very
easy to get through the next House a
sound currency measure, there being such
an overwhelming majority of sound money
men that the opposition could hardly ef-
feet anything. This coalition will not ex-
ist in the Senate, however, and 1t might not
be easy to secure the adoption of such a
measure by that body. After all, you can
not tell SO far in advance what the issues
of the next Congress may be.
Conditions change so rapidly that in a
year from now some other question may
have greater Importance than the cur
rency question. Just now 1t looks as if
the currency question would be most prom
fnent, and the circumstances seem to in
dicate that 1t will keep to the front.
'Of course, there Is no possibility of tariff
legislation during the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. nor until there is a change of ad-
ministration.
'It is probable. therefore, that there will
be no disposition to agitate the tariff ques-
ton in the next Congress. This would
seem to promise an open field for the cur
rency question, and there may be some
settlement Of 1t during the Fifty-fourth
Congress-

Important Naval Changes,

The naval program announced In yester-
days Star has been fully carried out by the
Issuance of orders detailing Rear Admiral
John c.. Walker to duty as a member of the
Hight house board In place of Admiral
james a. Greer. who assumes the presi-
dency of the naval examining and promo
ton board vacated by Admiral Walker.
This anticipates by two months the pre-
yioIsly announced intention of Secretary
Herbert, and 1t was expected that he would
not make the change in Admiral Walkers
duty before the retirement of Admiral
Greer in February next. This action ef-
fcctualiy dispcses of the many wild and
sensational reports that have been in cir
culation recently in regard to Admiral
Walker the widest of which was undoubt-
edly the one that he was to command a
formidable naval expedition against the
English forces on the Mosquito strip.

NO DIFFERENCES EXIST.
Semi-Omcial Statement Regarding
England and America.


England and America.
LONDON, December 1.-The following
semi official statement will be issued this
afternoon concerning the differences be-
tween Great Britain and Nicaragua:
Reiters agency learns that no difference
Of opinion exists between the government
of Great Britain and the United States with
reference to the Mosquito territory. Owing
to the influx of certain traders and others
in these regions it became necessary re-
Gently for Great Britain to draw the atten-
ton Of the Nicaraguan government to the
provisions Of the treaty between Great
Britain and Nicaragua, which were con-
trary to certain DEGREES recently issued by
their commissioner at Bluefelds
1t is understood that the matter formed
the subject of inquiry upon the part Of the
United States. and a satisfactory explana-
ton of the affair was given by the British
government. The question did not affect
the relations between Nicaragua and the
Mosquito territory, but merely the rights
and customs of the Mosquito Indians re-
served under the treaty in question.
There was no question of the United
States dispatchns war vessels to the spot
in this connection.
The bottom has dropped out of the Mica
raguan war scare. The only new develop
ment in the case Is an official cablegram
received here by DR.. Guzman, the Nicara-
guam minister, cOHllIIfiiilS tue duNlCeS re-
ceived in London by Mr.. Barrios as made
known in the cable dispatch of the AS
sociated Press. AS this was to the effect
that the Mosquito Indians themselves
had voluntarily resolved upon the incor-
poration of their territory with the re-
mainder of Nicaragua. the minister ex-
presses the belief that the United States
will be troubled no more by the freauent
outbreaks in the MOSQUITO reservation
which have threatened to cause serious in
ternational complications
