AUGUSTA LETTER.
DoincS in and About the Capitol In
terestinely Described.
Special to THE AMERICAN I

AUGUSTA, Jan. L.
Nv last letter left Lobby full OF I'M
portan, information for readers Of THE
+ AMERICAN. But since that date your cor
respondent has had tbs honor OF attend
ing a high-life wedding reception, and al
such common, practical affairs were en-
tirely Experimentation into chaos by the
brilliancy of that occasion. Beautiful
ladies, rich presents, and sumptuous re-
freshments were entirely too much for
him-you must expect very dull letter.
The special business before the leglsia-
ture in reference to Hancock county in
terests is as follows
First, the petition Of inhabitants OF
the town of Bucksport for amendment OF
act creating the court in several towns OF
the western part of the county, so that
! the town of Bucksport shall be left out OF
| said list of towns. This petition was re
ferred to the Hancock county delegation,
as a committee, and was discussed and
finally laid on the table, temporarily, for
more information in reference to cost, or
expense of said court to the county. III
will be called up and decided in the form
of a report to the senate. If it can be
shown that said court has not been more
expensive to the town OF Bucksport and
to the county than preceding courts OF
trial justices, the report will, apparently,
be against said amendment.
1t i claimed that this change OF law
would be its repeal practically, and, as
H.. -
te in argument hat Bucksport better be
denied her petition than that the other
towns should lose the court Possibly
some compromise may. be effected that
Will harmonic the different interests.
Second. the matter Of ferry across
Sullivan river knoau d @aaisan Terry.
Mr.. AnDott and Mr. Mooa jointly ask for
charter for said ferry, backed by long
petition. Other interested partle., quite
as numerous, ask by petition that there

The Road Improvement.

The untiring efforts of the papers Of
Hancock county to impress upon the
people the necessity for road i'm
provement are being felt. The people
are ava aning to realizing sense OF
the inn rtance of good roads, and the
result is shown in frequent letters to
she papers decrying the present con-
dition of the roads and the present
system of road building, and suggest
ing means of reform.
Ellsworth has her own troubles, and
is taking heroic measures to remedy
existing evils. But there seems an
inclination to place too much blame
upon the shoulders of the road com
missioner. 1t is undoubtedly a fact
that, for the amount of money appro-
priated. the roads are not in the con-
dition they should be: but the road
commissioner is rot wholly at fault,
it is the system. We believe the con-
tract system, a. IL present, is wholly
wrong, and it Is with this belief that
we express the none that the result of
the present arbitration will be the
abandonment u the present system,
and the adoption & system whereby
the road cons. s.oaes will be the
servant Of the cit, and hold office on
she suffrage of tte peopl2.

The Nebraska Senator Proposes a Way
Out of Financial Difficulties.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The financial
question was brought to the front early
IN the session by a resolution which
was offered by Senator Henderson
rep, Neb.) and which, after discussion,
was referred to the finance committee.
1t embraced seven propositions which.
Senator Henderson admitted, looked
like hodge-podge, but which really
were, he said, a compromise that might
be and ought to be, embodied into law.
These were:
A reserve OF $500. 600 900 in gold and $500, OOo-
600 in silver; the issue of bonds payable in gold
or silver; the destruction of legal tender notes
when paid in gold or silver; the exchange for
five years. when demanded. OF gold coin
for silver coin, and Of silver coin for gold coin
the use of tho new bonds for national bank
currency (of not less denomination than Sl0);
the requirement of payment of duties in gold
on goods imported from countries having a
gold standard, and in gold or silver on goods
imported from countries having silver STAN
dard; and, finally, the free coinage OF gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to l, and the enlarged
coinage of subsidiary silver coin

The House Has Recommitted tho Pacific
Railroad Funding Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Pacific
railroad funding bill was recommitted
to the committee on Pacific railroads
Saturday afternoon by vote of TT to
10S, showing an unexpectedly large
majority against the measure. Al
though the drift has been against
the bill from inception of the de-
bate its advocates were not
without hope. The extent of
their defeat was great surprise
to both sides. The debate was of a
brisk character. Only three of the
eighteen sections of the bill had been
read when the hour for taking the vote
arrived. But the substantial amend
ment to prevent the payment of divi-
dends on the stock until the govern
ment debt should have been fully dis
charged was adopted. Mr.. Boatner's
substitute to foreclose the governments
mortgage in case of default was cut
out by a parliamentary maneuver. So
that when the voting began in the
house he moved to recommit the bill,
motion equivalent to its direct defeat.
A proposition submitted as an amend
ment to compromise the debt aggre-
eating $3.50, 00o,oOO) for $75, 900, 900 was
defeated, and then, as stated, the bill
was sent to its doom by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

plain that the uncertainty as to the out

on the rapid Withdrawals of gold

eastern cities rates for money have advanced,
and at Boston supplies of commercial paper
have increased Mercantile collections at the

but in most instances are slower than usual at
this season. Among twenty staple prod
ucts. four have remained steady in
price, wool, lumber, hides and leather,
although in western centers some grades of the
last named have been held at an advance, and
at London sales of wool sold up slightly. The
greatest encouragement as to advances in
prices comes from the iron and steel indus
tries. Low temperature west has put up

ASSAULT NEW MoToRMEN.


Nonunion Workmen for Brooklyn Street
Car Companies Have Hard Time.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 5.-The police had
busy day in their efforts to preserve
order and prevent the crowds that
gathered in the various tough districts
from maltreating the nonunion men in
charge of the trolley cars. In several
instances the motormen were severely
beaten before police assistance arrived.
No riots, however, of serious nature
occurred during the day.
Master Workman Connolly issued
manifesto to the citizens of Brooklyn
Sunday evening on behalf of the strik-
ing motormen and conductors. He
calls upon the citizens to arm them
selves in self-defense, now that Presi-
dent Norton has, as Connolly alleges,
proposed to arm his men in defiance to
the police department.
