Great Northern President susgests Pnls-
bury ~ senator. ~ .tsy-i $sas:ss.
ST. PAUL, Jan. l4.-Great excitement
was occasioned in the senatorial camps
of both Washburn and Nelson by the
receipt of a telegram from James J.
Hill, president Of the Great Northern
railway. Mr.. Hill was asked what he
thought of the Minnesota senatorial
fight He said:
II think Nelson has defeated Wash
burn, but that he himself is beaten.
1t would not surprise mo to see Charles
A. Pillsbury carry eff the prize. /
have no doubt the Hennepin delegation
will bring him forward if they see that
Washburn cannot win. Comstock is q
clever man, but he cannot win. Mel
son is not popular; in fact, I know Of
no one with so few friends, and espe-
cially considering the majority he SO
lately received for governor"
This dispatch was shown to Charles
A. Pillsbury and he said: "Of course
I cannot be wholly insensible to the
kindly feeling thus shown, but SO much
talk is very unpleasant Ill many ways.
First, in case I wanted tho Office l
could not honorably be Il candidate
against Mr.. Washburn. Second, do
not want the place. Third, if it should
come 10 point that the people wanted

! that is the case--and even il Mr.. Wash
sbuifm hot s te. would
state that my tastes do not run in that
direction"

A COMPROMISE.
Senator Jones Has a Cur

SOME OF ITS PROVISIONS.
Cheap Bonds to Be Issued
and Free Coinage Pro-
Vidad For.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. The proba-
'bilities are that the beginning OF the
week will see the introduction Of still
another currency bill in the senate.
Senator Jones of Arkansas. who at the
critical stage of the tariff legislation
took the matter in hand and harmon
lied the differant elements so as to
bring definite results out Of decidedly
chaotic condition, is the author OF the
new bill and he comes to the front this
time as q compromiser and harmonizer.
There has been objections made to the
bills prepared by Senators Vest and
M ,Pherson on the ground in the case
of the Vest bill that it
Leans Too Much Towards Silver,
and in the case Of the Mcpherson bill
that is too exclusively in the interest OF
bonds. Senator Jones realizes that
silver and bonds are the two antagonlz.
ing elements in this question and his
effort has been to prepare measure
which will perhaps not be all that the
friends of either cause would naturally
demand, but will in the end secure the
support of both elements. He mas
been in consultation with many OF
the leaders of both these contending
elements in the senate, and it is under
stood that his bill, as outlined to them,
has received very favorable endorse
ment from the representatives from
All the Conflicting Interests.
It is also understood that the terms
of the bill are not unfamiliar to leaders
in the house. Furthermore it is prob
able that it has been brought to the at
tention of the proper authorities in the
executive branch of the government.
The bill will first provide for the, is
suance of 21a per cent bonds to the
amount of $500, 100000 which are to be
paid in gold and are to be used both
for thespurpose Of citing the current
Axpensess 9fa thee govsrnlns
redemption Of United States and treas.
ury notes. The bill will also provide
for the issue of bank notes to take the
place Of the treasury notes in such =
way as not to produce a contraction OF
the currency. Another provision is
that the national banks shall be al
lowed to
Issue Up to Their Par Value
and the tax on national bank circula-
tlon is fixed at one-quarter Of per
cent. In the interest Of silver the bill
provides for its unlimited coinage un-
der the condition that the holder of
silver bullion may take it to the mint
and have it coined into silver dollars,
the government retaining a seignior.
age, the difference between the coinage
value of the bullion and its market
value on the day that the bullion is
taken to the mints. It also provides
for the withdrawal from circulation Of
all greenbacks, treasury notes and
national bank notes below $40, and the
substitution Of silver certificates in
less than $40, to be payable in silver.
The bill will contain provisions pro-
viding against either undue imitation
or contraction.
