HAS a CURRENCY BILL
Which Is Intended to Bring
Together the Warning
Elements.
A SOP TO THE sILVERITEs
In the Shape of Unlimited
Coinage With Seign-
forage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The prob
abilities are that the beginning of the
week will see the introduction of till
another currency bill in the senate.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who at the
critical stage of the tariff legislation
took the matter in hand, land harmoniZed
the different elements so as to bring
definite results out Of a decidedly
chaotic condition, is the author OF the
new bill, and he comes to the front this
time as cOmprOmiSer and harmonizer
There have been objections made to the
bills prepared by Senators Vest and
Mcpherson 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 it is too exclusively
i'll the interest OF bonds. Senator
Jones realizes that silver and bonds
are the two antagonizing elements in
this question, and his effort
has been TO prepare a measure which
will perhaps not be all that the friends
of either cause would naturally de-
mand, but Will in the end secure the
support of both elements. lie has been
i'll consultation with many of the lead
ers of both Of these contending eIe-
mentS i'll the senate, and it is under
stood that his bill as outlined to them
has received very favorable indorse-
ment from the representatives from all
of the conflicting interests. 1t is also
understood that the terms of the bill
are not unfamiliar to leaders in the
house. Furthermore. it is probable that
it has been brought to the attention of
the proper authorities in the executive
branch of the government. The bill
will first provide for the Issuance Of 81
per cent bonds to the amount of $780,
100000, which are TO be paid in gold.
and are to be used both for the purpose
Of meeting the current expenses of the
government and the redemption of
United States and treasury notes.
The bill will also provide for
the issue of bank notes to
take the place of the treasury notes
i'll such way as not to produce con-
traction of the currency. Another pro-
vision is that the national banks shall
be allowed to issue up to their par
value, and the tax on national bank cir
culation Is fixed at one-quarter of one
per cent. In the interest of silver, the
bill provides for its unlimited coinage
under the condition that the holder Of
silver bullion may take it to the mint
ana have it coined into silver dollars.
the government retaining seigniorage,
the difference between the coinage
value Of the bullion ana its market
on the day that the bullion is taken to
the minis. 1t also provides for the
withdrawal from circulation of all
greenbacks, treasury notes and national
bank notes below $50 and the Substitu-
ton of silver certificates in denOmlna-
tiOns OF less than $40, which are TO be
payable in silver. The bill will contain
provisions against either undue infa-
ion or contraction.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Late news
paper advices received at the Japanese
legation are thar the reform programme
presented to the Corean government by
the Japanese is making satisfactory
progress. This programme, according
to the Kigi (newspaper), embraced
twenty propositions, and was presented
to the king OF Corea on the 20th and
s 21st or November, and was approved by
him. The propositions included, among
others, the following:
That the administrative power should
center in the hands of one man; court
affairs should be distinctly separate
from the general administration of the
country, the court and state affairs haY-
ing hitherto been mixed up. A SOW
ereign is bound to obey the laws of his
own country; the court should be SyS-
tematically organized; the functions
and competence of the cabinet and the
various departments of state should
be determined: taxes should be
unified by the finance depart-
ment, hitherto there having been

IN vogue of selling government offices
must be abolished. The authority of

Yesterday was an ideal day for skat-

ana enjoyed themselves.
At 3 o'clock the rink contained fully

Considerable Reduction in the

WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-Representa-
tive Holman, chairman of the house
committee on Indian affairs. has pre-
pared report TO accompany the Indian
appropriation bill. 1t shows that The
total Indian appropriations for 1895
were 1868, $50 less than for 1894. while
this bill providing for 1896 carries
total of Sc, 496. $50. reduction of $685.
173 below the appropriation bill for
1895. Many of the reductions were
made upon the recommendation of the
commissioner of Indian affairs. Mr..
Holman says:
"While there is material reduction
from the estimates, especially as to
contingent expenditures. it is under
stood by the committee Oh Indian af>
fairs that in the main the reductions
will not embarrass the Indian office in
providing for the Indian service. In
stead OF specific appropriations for
schools, sum amounting 10 SI54, $40 is
added to the general appropriation
for Indian schools, increasing the
am cunt from SI,000,000 to S1.I54, $40.
