London Stock Market Depressed.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The Evening Posts

American loan confirms the statement made
in these dispatches that gold would leave

expected to begin next week The Bank
of England will probably lose about e.

the open market and other sources. Paris
and Berlin exchange indicates that those
countries are buying remittances on Lon-
don with view to participant in the
loan The stock markets here were de-
pressed to-day by the loan announcement.

WILL NOT BE HEEDED
CLEvELAND'S BOND RECOMMENDA-
TION TO BE DIsREGARDED.
Majority Of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House Opposed
to the Presidents Proposition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--The House ways
and means committee took UP the Presi-
dents special bond message at the end
OF long session to-day and so much
difference of opinion made itself manifest
Immediately that the business was post
poned until o'clock Monday. Mr.. Bynum
proposed a resolution to amend the act
of 1875 so to make 1T authorize the issue
of bonds bearing interest at a rate not
to exceed per cent. and payable in gold
only TO the contemplated issue, which
ton less sweeping in it's scope, to apply
only to the contemplated issue, which was
the subject of the message, and to en-
power the Secretary of the Treasury to
make them payable in coin and TO
bear interest at rate not exceeding
per cent
The Republican members quickly an
nounced their opposition to both plans.
Mr.. Reed said Il do not believe in bor-
rowing gold by bonds payable after thirty
years, when, according to the Secretary
or the Treasury, we are to have surplus
In the treasury soon. 1t was developed by
brief discussion that not only the Repub-
er and McMiliin. Of the democrats, are
opposed to the plan for bonds to be pay
able by stipulation in gold. Mr. Turney
made the motion to make the message
special order for the time named, which
was carried.
The discussion was entirely informal and
the RepubIicans bore the leading part, par
ucularly Mr.. Reed. whose comments were
numerous. BY the Democratic friends of the
President 1t was argued that Congress was
confronted with the specific question of
saving for the government some sixteen
millions. Their Republican adversaries con-
tended that thirty-year loan to meet what
the administration, according to their con-
strucfion of its utterances, represents to be
a temporary necessity was inadvisable.s
They questioned the policy of negotiating
with individual financiers for bond issues
and advocated a popular loan of short term
bonds in small denominations which could
be taken by the people of the country.
Mr. BynumS resolution contemplated
bonds payable after one year and within
ten years. but was changed to the form
given above to apply to the thirty-year
issue just negotiated. There was an in
formal vote taken on it, but several MEM
bcrs did not vote, and those who responded
aye and mo- in chorus were not noted.
Certain Democrats of the committee attrib-
uted to the Republicans a desire to avoid
a vote to-day. Mr.. Hopkins says there is
no uncertainty about the Republican posi-
ton; that they will not agree to the Presi-
dents proposition, for the reasons which
have been outlined.

The School House Question-An-
other Letter From Major VaIen-

llIlSs
BENNINGTON, W., January 18th, 1895.
Bennington Bdnner:-Some weeks ago
L wrote a communication suggesting,
when found necessary to provide adj
ditional school rooms for our school
children, that we try the plan of secur-
ing rooms on the outskirts of our village,
and that in no event, should our child
ren's play grounds, and the appearance
of our school property be ruined by tenn
porary wooden structures.
now wish to suggest what occurs to
me as better plan for temporary ac-
commodatiOns, than even outside rooms,
or the adding to our present structure
just yet.
1t is simply this: Return the room
now occupied by the Superintendent to
its original use. There is no better room
in the building, it will accommodate
fifty scholars, and in my judgment, it
never should have been diverted from its
original purpose. The superintendent
room can easily be made out of one of
the rooms connecting with the large
hall, or it could be partitioned off from
the hall with temporary partition. Of
course it would not be as pleasant or
convenient as the one now used by the
superintendent, but it would answer for
few years, and it would certainly be
better than to be prematurely driven to
outside buildings, or adding to our pres
ent building. Then When our wants
outgrow our capacity, including the
present superintendent room, would,
as a temporary eXpedient, partition off
one or two rooms from the hall with a
movable partition. Such partitions are
made especially for such purposes, and
can be folded up and put away when the
whole hall is required for other purposes.
By resorting to these expedients, the
day of further building could be put off,
say from three to five years, and In the
meantime our accommodations would
be nearly all that could be desired. Let
me again emphasize the idea-when we
get ready to build, that we make no half
way work, but begin right, and the end
will be right. The idea of defacing our
grounds, as before said, should not be
entertained for moment, and l think
that there is no danger of it, if our peo-
pie fully understand the matter.

Deafness Cannot BE cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the EustaChian Tube. When this
tube gets inflaned you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it
is entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness( caused by catarrh),
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

that the people of Bennington would be
glad to welcome her again. She must
not be disappointed when she appears
next Tuesday evening, Jan. 18th. AL
though several years have elapsed since
she was last here, her friends will find
her undiminished in vigor and her wax
works more elaborate, because of some
valuable additions. She does not wish
to draw the interest of the public entire.
ly away from the club to herself, and so
has requested that the members also APP
pear that evening. The two drills given
by Mrs. BickfOrd's gymnast'c class of
young women will afford pleasant con-
trast to the performances of the manu-
featured figures of the farley collection.
The programme will be eulivened by
choruses rendered by Prof. Downs class
and by piano and vocal solos. This en-
tertainment is to be in Free Library
Hall. Do not mind the stairs but come,
and be there promptly at o'clock.

The Troy Press speaks of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church of that city,
Monday, AS follows: "The new quar-
tette choir was favorably received by tho
congregation Sunday and filed their
places with great acceptance. Mrs. Sims
Crawford rendered the morning offertory
solo, fully sustaining her reputation as
one of the best and most pleasing con-
tralto singers in thecity. The tenor solo
at the evening service by James Habber-
ley also gave general satisfaction. Dur
ing the rehearsal on Saturday night an
accident occurred to the organ, necessi.
tating the use of melodeon accompani-
ment."
THE Union of San Diego, Cal, of Jan.
1st has a long account of gigantic If
rlgating enterprise there that is now
nearing completion. The local interest
in it consists in the fact that Mr.. Henry

Ditch" referred to- This is a waterway,
% miles long, which is to furnish water
to irrigate the Escondido District. The
Union gives details Of the work, which,
from the altitude of the supply, and the
IS miles of solid ditch cut out of the hills
and three of hume, makes it gigantic
engineering enterprise as well as of
great benefit to large and attractive
part of California. The success of this
undertaking is assured from the fact that
such a man as Mr.. Putnam takes hold of
it. We congratulate California people
upon securing his interest in one of the
greatest public works of the Coast

passenger business by the various sound boat lines will be allowed to fol- low their natural territorial directions instead or being diverted as under the old competitive system, The freight from Worcester and connected points, for example, which used to a large eX~ tentto go via Providence to Stonington, distance of some 100 miles, will now pass over the New England system t6 New London, a distance of about seven ty-tWo miles.
 One result of the consolidation of sound boat lines and of the other chang es will be very considerable economy of operation in the interest of the New Haven company which now owns by purchase all the stock of the Fall River line and all but a few hundred shares of the Providence and Stoning- ton Steamboat company. The consolt- dation of the boat lines must, however, leave several steamboats in disuse on the hands of the New Haven company over and above those held in reserve for accidents. They will probably have to be sold, though, perhaps, retained for further plans in connection with sound ports of Connecticut as yet only hinted at.
 The official announcement of some of the foregoing projects of the New Ha- ven company, now that the New Eng land system and Norwich boat line have passed to it's control, can hardly be long delayed.
