Passed by the Senate.

The bill p!edging the faith of the United
States to do tho construction of the Nicara-
qua canal, has passed the United States
senate by the decisive vote of 81 to q. It
was the termination of debate which had
lasted since the present session of congress
began.
The bill in brief directs the issue of So.
100000 of Nicaraguan canal bonds. Each
of these is to bear the following guarantee:
Tho United States of America guarantees
TO the lawful holder of this bond the pay.
lnent by the Maritime Canal company Of
Nicaragua of the principal of said bonds

it accrues."

Another Finance Measure.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. January 26.-Mem.
bers of the house banking committee have
spent much time during the past few days
with Secretary Carlisle discussing the fea-
lures of q new bill with which to make an.
other effort toward financial legislation.
The most radical of the new propositions,
for which Mr.. Cox stands sponsor, is that
for the coinsee of silver. It contemplates
the cancellation of the Sherman notes when
received at the treasury and the issue of sill
yer certificates in denominations of 81, 81
and $, or of silver dollars if the receivers
prefer. To back these silver certificates it
is proposed to coin all the bullion in the
treasury, which, including $4, OOO 600 seign-
forage, amounts to $751;. 100000. 1t is calcu.
lated not moro than $40 O00,O 900 can be coined
in year.
Ih- changes in the banking features of
the plan provide that while tho banks shall
hold the same reserve now required, one-h half
shall be legal tender greenbacks or Sher-
man notes.
Representative Cox explains this arrange
ment would relieve thu treasury OF the raids
upon the gold made possible BY the large
volume of the outstanding notes, since 1t
would dispose of 100000 of notes By
using them to form the basis of banking
and 500, 000, OO1 for reserve in banks It %
conceded that it might be necessary to en-
power the secretary to issue low rate bonds
to protect the treasury against large with
draWals of gold.

Priest Gives Advice.


A feature of the Brooklyn strike is the
prominent part taken by Father OHara.
He mingles with the strikers and endeavors
to prevent violence and destruction of prop
erty.
At the same time he uses his voice and in
fuence toget new men to join the strikers as
fast as they are brought from other cities.
The following notice to the former EN-
ployes of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad
company has been sent out. 1t bears the
signature of President Lewis: "Notice is

To Abolish Fees.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. January ga result
that has occurred from the investigation of
the charges against Judgs Kicks, of Ohio.
seems to be that it has brought prominently
10 the notes of congress the defects of the
fee system which applies to the officers of
the United States court.
More or less scattering efforts have been
made in year, past by both houses to do
away with the system of compensating dis
trict attorneys, mar-hals, clerks and COM
missioners BY fees, which places a bounty
ON prosecutions, and a tendency of legisla.
on has been to reduce and limit fees TO.
some time.
Several attorney generals. including Brew.
ster. Miller and Oiney, have recommended
tCcongress that the court officials be placed
as nearly as practicable on a salaried basis,
and several reports have been made to the
same effect BY conRr, ssional investigating
committees.

Commenced Shooting.


The first fatal encounter of the Brooklyn
strike took place at about II o'clock at night
of the ninth day of the strike. Henry Aliens,
of New York, was fatally shot, a musket
ball entering his mouth and passing through
his head. Another man. whose name is
Williams, was wounded in the arms. The
shooting had the instant effect of dispensing
the mob. 1t was day of alarming rumors,
which. fortunately, had slight or no founda-
ton. There were between daybreak and
niQhtfall numerous brushes between the
police and militia on one side and the strik-
er. on the other.

Mandamus Upon the Corporations

cislon on the application of Joseph Loader
for mandamus to compel the Brooklyn
He gifts railroad to operate its cars in suffi-
Gent numbers to accommodate the public.
Justice Gaynor's decision is as follows:
at is my duty to declare the law in this
case. This railroad corporation is not in
the position of mere private individual or
company carrying on business for private
gain which may suspend business Temporal
rily or permanently at pleasure. On the con-
trary it has dual relation /; a public relation
to the people Of the state and private one
to its stockholders.
1t must not be forgotten here. though it
may seem to be growing, not wholly forgot.
ten elsewhere that in it's chief aspect it is a
public corporation having duties 10 perform
to the public which transcend any obliga-
ton which in its private aspect it owes to
its stockholders.
1t has received franchises of great value
from the state and had conferred upon 1t
the states transcendant power of eminent
domain.
They have duties to the public to perform,
and they must perform them. If they can.
not get labor to perform such duties, ut what
they offer, then they must pay more. and as
much as is necessary to get it. Likewise, if
the conditions in respect of hours or otherwise
which they impose, repel labor, they must
adopt more lenient or just conditions, as
they may not stop their cars for one hour,
much less one week, or one year, thereby
to beat or coerce the price or conditions of
labor down to price or conditions they Of
fer.
For them to do so. would be a defiance o.,
la Nv and Of government.
In respect of the question of hours and
of wfges between the company and its en-
pl Dyes. its duty was to have gone CD with
its full complement of employees, having
the right gradually and from day to day to
supersede its employees if it can, by new
employees who will work on its terms, or
supersede thu m all at once when it has OBJ.
tanned a sufficient number Of new EN-.
ployes for that purpose: but in such con.
troversy it has not the right TO stop its cars
while it is thus gradually getting Other

A Bargain for Statehood.

"A bargain Tor StdtonOCO.
WASHINGTON. D. c., January ga mum.
Der of republican senators after the republi-
can senate caucus served notice on the dem
ocrats that they need not expect to pass
statehood bills for Arizona and New Mexico
unless they added Oklahoma.
In the event the democrats force the fight
in the senate to admit Arizona and New
Mexico an amendment will be offered to
add Oklahoma. The bills to admit Arizona
and New Mexico passed the house, but that
was before the election, and it is now not
certain that the democrats want to push the
bills in the senate. In the event they do it
is reasonably certain they cannot pass them
without conceding republican demands to
Omit Oklahoma. 1t IS pretty certain the
Indian lobby will continue to fight Okla
homa statehood even if they defeat the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico. This
might block all statehood bills.

Majority Of Senate Lost.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. January 29.-The final

many weeks, has brought the democrats Of

crats are without majority in the senate,
and therefore unable to do business without
the assistance of republicans or populists.

place reduced the democratic vote to 43 out

it is about time that this agreement was be-
ing carried out.
Some weeks ago they had an opportunity
to take 1t up. but at that time 1t was su2-
gested that its consideration at that time
would have something to do with the sena-
torial fight then on in Kansas and they were
prevailed upon to allow it to 60 over until
that could be settled. Now they will press
the case and will endeavor to get a report
from the committee during this week.

issued an alternative writ in the application
of Joseph Loader. for mandamus to com.
pei tho Brooklyn Heights Railroad com pany
to run its cars on its lines for the accommo.

An alternative writ gives the railroad COM

not doing %. This allows the defendants
twenty days to file an answer to the writ
