THEY WANT GOLD BONDS.
Advice of New York Business Men to
the Administration.


One hundred members of the New York
chamber of commerce met yesterday and
passed a resolution adopting the report OF
its committee on finance and currency, ap-
pointed to consider the financial needs Of
the country. The resolution was put by
Chairman Orr, and there was but one dis
senting vote-that Of William P. st. John.
The resolution ordered that copies of the
report be sent to President Cleveland, Sec
rotary of the Treasury Carlisle and to the
finance committees of both houses in
Washington Immediately. The copies were
mailed within an hour.
After suggesting that no feasible cur
rency plan can be adopted until confidence
in the stability of the national currency
and the ability of the government to re-
deem its obligations in gold is manifested,
both here and abroad, the committee in its
report says:
ITO this end. in the judgment of your
committee, there should be no further de-
lay on the part Of Congress in authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
bonds bearing a rate of interest not exceed
ing per cent, such bonds payable explicit
ly, principal and interest in gold coin OF
the weight and fineness now fixed by law;
to be used not only in maintaining the
gold reserve, which is being depleted both
through distrust and deficiency in treasury
receipts under necessary expenditures but
also for the gradual withdrawal and can
collation. of legal tenders and treasury
notes now in circulation"

THE PITTSBURG PLAN.
Another Scheme Devised to Settle the
Currency Question.

currency 9ueSt1Cn.
The "Pittsburg plan" concerning the
currency question was unanimously adopt
ed yesterday by the Clearing House Asso-
citation at its annual meeting, and a COM
mittee Of three appointed to submit the
scheme to Senators Camden and Quay and
Congressman Dalzell and Stone to urge its
adoption by Congress. The proposition was
made by ]. H. Wilcox, president Of the
Second National Bank, and met the unani-
nous approval of the association after a
lengthy discussion of its merits.
The essential provisions Of the plan are
the following amendments to the national
banking act:
l. Permit national banks to issue notes
to an amount Tot exceeding their paid-up
capital stock, but require each bank before
receiving notes to deposit with the United
States treasurer United States bonds OF
any issue. upon which they may receive
notes up to the par value of said bonds.
2 Impose q tax of IA of i per cent per
annum, payable senli-annIally, upon the
average amount of notes in circulation to
defray the expenses of printing notes, Off
cial supervision and other expenses of The
controllers office.
g. Repeal thu provisions of the reorgahi-
cation and extension act of July II, 1857,
imposing limitations upon the reduction
and increase of national banks circula-
ton.
f. Authorize the Secretary of the Treas
ury to offer for sale, from time to Time at
not less than par, 1-2 per cent $50 year
bonds Gedeemable in five years and pay
able in twenty years.. in denominations
from $50 to $4,000, to be paid for in gold.
legal tenders or United States treasury
notes, to an amount which, with the gold
in the treasury, will be sufficient to retire
all outstanding legal tenders and treasury
notes, such notes to be cancelled as fast an
new circulation is issued to the banks.
8. Permit national banks to count ma
tional bank notes as part of their legal re-
serve.
The other provisions of the present ma
tfonal bank act to remain unchanged.

TO MAKE BIG GUNS.
krupp to Have an American Rival i'm
Carnegfe.

krupp to Have an American Rival in
Carnegie.
The Carnegie Steel Company is about to
branch out In the manufacture of military
armament The company is getting facts
and figures preparatory to going into the
manufacture Of heavy guns, and Home
stead is a step nearer to becoming another
Essen.
An inquiry of Mr.. Lovejoy brought the
following statement from that gentleman:
Yes, 1t is true thai we are looking into
the matter of making guns. We are gath
ering facts concerning such departure,
and the making of guns is now among tie
possibilities. Much of our machinery at
Homestead could be used for gun making.
1t has not been decided upon definitely.
but the company is looking into the mat
quoted, but it is as good as an official state
ment to say that the company looks for
ward to making cannon al Homestead.
The project is connected with the fact
that the ccmpanys armor plate contracts
are expiring and will be finished in a few
months The company does not wish to
leave any part Of its big mills. represent
ing an investment of $4,000 600 to lie idle
may be made at Homestead just cheap
ly as is armor plate in comparison With
the cost of such manufactures at Essen,
Germany.
The Carnegie Company, with its tremen-
dous resources, would be a powerful COM
petitor of Krupp and of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, which has been making
guns for the government several years.
1t is said that the company would expect
orders from France and Russia and China.
The fact that the Bethlehem Company is
making guns is an additional incentive to
the Carnegie Company. as the two con-
Germs are rivals in several ways. The
Carnegie Company will be the second in the
United States to go into gun making, and
its step will be distinct advance in Amer
lean manufacture.
The Carnegie Company will make guns OF
the heaviest pattern. Great presses, drills
and shaping tools Of many kinds are among
the outfit of the Homestead armor mills.
1t is estimated that an expenditure Of
$500.OOO would be amply sufficient to cover
the cost of improvements needed. and this
sum would be a mere bagatelle to the Car
negie Company.

The Fencibles.

The National Fencibles were organized in

young men, who had previously been the

first to enter. In 1890 the company par

Over the Discovery Of q Case Of
Leprosy on a White Man.
A late Queensland paper says a
white man named John Brown has
been pronounced to be a true leper,
and he has been sent to the lazaret
at Dunwich. The unfortunate fell
low states that he enjoyed good
health until seven years ago, when
he began to experience in two fingers
peculiar feeling, which gradually
spread up his forearm, causing great
pain. Four or FIVE years ago his
face became swollen. The lobes Of
his ear were enlarged, aud blisters
appeared in various parts OF his
body, especially in his fingers and
toes, and other parts Of his hands
and feet. The blisters stopped
when they were pricked. Brown
served four years in the Royal Navy
as a marine on the Mediterranean
station, visiting Constantinople,
Malta, Gibraltar, Syracuse and
ports in North Africa, but be says
he never came into contact with
lepers. He left England in 1869 in
the Flying Squadron, and settled in
Victoria, chiefly at Ballarat. He
came to Queensland in 1871, and
worked nearly all his time on the
northern goldfelds. He had never
consorted with Cinnamon.

ALTHoUGH difficult to believe, il
is nevertheless true that the death of
two half-sisters, the daughters of the
same father, occurred 10 years
apart. The grandfather Of the Brit
ish Minister, Charles James Fox, Sir
Stephen Fox, married in 1854, and
had a daughter born to him in 1855,
who died in the course of the same
year. He had several other children
who grew up and married, but all of
them died before their father, and
without issue. Sir Stephen, not
wishing his large fortune to fall into
the hands of the distant relatives,
married again at a very advanced
age, and his youngest daughter was
born in 1857. She reached the age
Of 9S years and died in 1925, that
is, 40 years after the death of her
oldest sister. She saw Queen Veto
ria when the latter was a child,
while her half-sister was carried in
the arms of Oliver Cromwell.

THE great suit Of Hon. John f..
Massey VS.. the Pilot Publishing Co.,
Samuel w. Small, Richard +. Byrd
and others resulted in verdict Of
$1,000 for the plaintiffs of
which the jury said they intended
for actual and 81 800 for punitive
damages. 1t was generally sup
posed that Mr.. Massey would get a
much larger verdict, as the defend
ants utterly failed to prove the truth
of the charges they had made
against him. Mr.. Massey's reputa-
ton in the State is, however, rather
unsavory and this the jury doubtless
took into consideration. MIR. Mas
sey and his friends, nevertheless, ac-
cept the verdict as a vindication,
and, considering the form in which
the jury expressed it, we think it is.
John S. Wise was terrific in his de-
nunciation Of his old political enemy
but it is thought that he went too
far and did his cause more harm
than good.
