amendment hinged on the point whether
forcing the banks to secure gold for de-
posits would not cause a greater demand
on the treasury for gold than the raids
which are now in progress.
Several amendments were proposed which
failed. Most important of their number
was one to substitute the word "coin'' for
gold in the provision for payment of
the bonds, which commanded four votes its
opponents numbering six. Another unsuc-
cessful amendment was one to give the Sec
retary of the Treasury discretion to fix the
rate of interest on the bonds and to make
them payable after various short terms

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Theory of an Old RaiIroader, Who
Blames the COmpany for All.

The reports as to the cause of. the wreck
are very conflicting. Some peopie claim
that such a thing could not have happened
If the train had been in proper order; these
think the cause was probably defective
wheel, but that is hardly considered possi-
BILE. Probably the real cause is that given
by q railroad man of many years expert
ence. He places the entire blame upon the
railroad company. He says their engines
are too heavy for the track. The engine
which was in the wreck weighs about $4,000
pounds, while the rails on the track were
laid at time when engines of 100000
pounds were rare The says the rails
are so light that they are not Capable
of carrying such heavy engines with safety.
He says the plausible explanation is that
when the engine struck the switch, which
was a curve, the slight break in the
perfectly smooth rail caused the engine to-
lurch to the opposite side, which loosened
the spikes holding the rail. Each sue
ceeding car turned the rail more and pulled
the spikes further out, until Khen the day
coach struck the place the rail had turned
SO far to one side that the trucks dropped
between the rails and the piling up of the
cars began. AS usual in such cases the
railroad men are reticent about the matter
and little be learned from a reliable or
direct source concerning the cause.

CLEvELAND,s SCENE.
Three Important Changes Made by
Mr.. Springer's COMMITTEES.

Mr.. springer's COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The House COM
mittee on banking and currency spent the
day in debating the new administration
bill, went through it by sections, adopted
three important amendments and adjourned
until tomorrow, leaving two amendments
to be acted on. Chairman Springer says
that the committee will be able to report
the amended bill to the House tomorrow
Republican members say that the plan will
be in committee two or three days longer,
but all agree that it will be reported to the
House in time, although materially changed
from the original plan, since the Republic
are disposed to cooperate with the
administration Democrats. There was some
sparring for points in the committed and
a general disposition to engraft personal
schemes the measure, but as a
whole the proceedings were unusually free
from partisanship. Chairman Springer has
not yet decided how much time he will ask
the committee on rules to give for debate
The bill is privileged one aud. can be
called up at any time. Accordingly the
California Democratic members, who are
fighting the Reilly Pacific railroad bill very
bitterly, are urging Mr.. Springer to report
the financial measure tomorrow if possible,
and displace the Reilly bill. The action of
depend on the Republicans, who hold the
balance of power. How far the amend
ments will placate the opposition remains
TO be seen; but it is conceded that the
chances of the measure are much better
in the House than in the Senate. Its OPP
ponents largely depending the free
silver Senators to talk it to death, as they
may be- able to do in a. body, which has no
rule by which it can fix a day for a vote.
Practically no progress made by the
committee during the early part of the
day and all indications pointed TO a re-
threshing of the whole financial question
in all its phases. Representative Cox be-
gan business by motion TO report the bill
to the House. which at once reused a
chorus of opposition. Three of the Re-
publicans-H henderson, of Illinois; Brossus
and Haughens objected to what they termed
summary action and Representative Cobb,
of Alabama, declared that ne would never
vote to report the bill TO the House in
its present form. Thereupon MIR. Russell,
of Connecticut, made a motion that the
committee proceed TO consideration of the
bill. which was agreed TO informally.
In the course of the discussion, Rep
resentaive Walker opposed the proposition
of a fifty-year term for the bonds and
gave notice that he would offer an amend

leans stood with him on this objection and
also gave It as their views that green

German Duty ON Cotton seed Oil.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received, through the
State Department copies of letters recently
received from Theodore Runyon, United
States ambassador at Berlin, in which ne
recites the reasons given for the proposed
increased duty from four to ten marks per
hundred kilogrammes on cotton seed oil inn
ported into Germany. The main reason Civ
en- is that cotton seed Oil enters largely INTO
the manufacture of Oleomdrgar.ne ana,
therefore, comes in direct competition with
the butter and affects injuriously the inter-
ests OF German agriculturists. The amount
of cotton seed oil imported into Germany
from the United States, during the ten
months ending Oct. 81, 1894. is given as
1,440 1896 gallons, of the value of S5S2, 4l3 In
order not to interfere with the soap in
dustry, the government recommends that
the duty on cotton seed oil, when rendered
unfit for edible use, may be reduced from

Opposed to Bond,.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 29.--The bankers of
Denver are unanimous in their expressions
against any further issue of bonds by the
government. They hold that such course
is against the interests of the West. and,
therefore, against their interests While
none of the bank presidents cared to be
quoted, each denounced the plan quoted in
President Cleveland's message. They
gued that If carried out it would not only
place the country solely on a gold basis,
but would put its finances entirely into the
hands of Eastern bankers, who would in
no way share their benefits with the peo-
pie or the banks of the West.

bankers of this city. SO far as their views
can be obtained. They look the bond

Naturally they are in favor of the ultimate
free coinage of silver, and do not believe
any other legislation will stop falling val

for the bill introduced by Senator Jones. of
Arkansas, as that provides for such use of
the white metal as will naturally lead up
to Its recognition. They do not favor any
legislation that does not at least provide
for reasonable use of silver.
