REDEEM NOTES IN SILVER.
Urges the Secretary to Exer-
else the Option Conferred
by Law.
SPRINGER MAKES REPLY.
The Financier's Own Words
Turned Against Money
Sharks.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-The fol-
lowing correspondence, which ex-
plains itself, has passed between
William P ST. John, president OF
the Mercantile National Bank OF
New York, and Representative
Springer. chairman of the commit
tee on banking and currency. The
first is a letter addressed by Mr.. st.
John to Mr. Springer, in which the
former says:
when before your honorable COM
mittee in December l commended the
redemptions of United States notes
in gold only. At that time, under
the conditions then of extraordinary
weakness of the treasury L ADDED
that the United States was then
(earlieD able to redeem greenbacks
and notes in silver and laugh at such
consequences Under the profound
conviction that the present condi-
ton of the treasury reserve and I'D
eral accumula tions of idle money IN
New York and other money centerS
afford together a new opportunity
to do safely. / write to beg you TO
urge the secretary Of the treasury TO
exercise the option conferred upon
him by law to redeem the United
States lotes in standard silver dol
lars. The treasury reserve is at
present composed of about $l05, ,OO0CO0
gold, and only about $15,OOO,000 OK
free silver. If the secretary will IN
struct the treasurer and every as
sistant treasurer of the United
States to meet demands for the re-
demption of United States notes and
treasury notes in standard silver
only, and continue the instruction
for a reasonable time, the achieve
ment will be in all details and in
. every respect a happy one, and no
more interest-bearing debt will need
to be created. On the other hand, if
the secretary of the treasury still
neglects this opportunity, the neg
lect may prove one more just ground
for fault-fnding with his admins
tration on public finances"
To this letter, Mr.. Springer re-
plid: I'm answer to your letter, per-
nit me to say 1 am under the pro-
found conviction that the present
condition of the terasury reserve
and liberal accumulations of idle
money in New York afford together
a new opportunity for you to eXer-
else the discretion conferred on you
by. law to pay all checks at the
bank of which you are president in
standard silver dollars. If you should
pursue this course for a reasonable
time the achievement would be in
all details and in every respect a
happy one. On the other hand, if
you should neglect this opportunity,
the neglect may prove one more
ground for fault-f1nding with those
fnanciers who preach one doctrine
and practice another"

committee on appropriations, today h
troduced an amendment to the suncry
civil service bill to provide for the pay
ment of the full bounty on the sugar
produced in 1893 and for the payment
of eight-tenths of a cent per pound on
the production of 1894. The amend
ment for the payment of the first class
of claims carries an appropriation OF
$238, ,2s9, and is as follows:
THAT there shall be paid by the sec
retary of the treasury to those pro-
ducers and manufacturers of sugar In
the United States from maple sap,
beets, sorghum, Cr sugar cane grown
in the United States which complied
with the provisions of the bounty laws,
as contained in schedules of the tarln
act of 1890, bounty of two cents a
pound on all sugar testing not less
that 80 degrees by the polariscope,.
and IL cents per pound on all sugars
testing less than 80 and not more than
so degrees, manufactured and pro-
duced by them previous to the 2Sth OF
August, 1894, and upon which no bounty
has previously been paid
The provision for the payment of q
part of last years bounty is that there
shall be paid to those producers who
complied with the Mckinley bounty
law by filing application for license
and the bonds required prior to July l,
1894, and who would have been entitled
to receive bounty license of eight
tenths of a cent pound on sugars ac-
tually manufactured and produced in
the United States, testing not less
than so degrees, during the period of
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1885,,
comprised in the period commencing
Aug. 2S, 1894, and ending June 80, 1895,
and for this purpose $5,OOOOOO is appro-
priated.
No bounty is to be paid to any per-
son engaged in refining sugars which
have been imported into the United
States or produced in the United
States upon which the bounty herein
provided for has already been paid or
applied for.
The commissioner of internal rev.
enue is empowered to make regulations
for the payment of the bounty and to
employ two revenue agents, in addi-
ton to those already employed, for
the transaction of business

in case a vote could be reached, and he
believed a clear majority would be
shown on the vote for consideration.
While Senator Butler would name nc
figures, it is understood that other
friends of the bill claim that final
vote would show that two-thirds OF
the members of the senate favor it.
The opponents of the bill concede
that if a vote should be reached it
would pass, but they are determined
in the declaration that it shall not
reach the point when the test of its
strength shall be made. The tactics
which they will pursue were fore
shadoweG in Senator Pettigrew's brief
statement in the senate just prior tc
adjournment tonight. The feeling is
such as to make it clear that there will
be a very sharp clash when the effort
is made to take the bill up, and the in
dications are for a period of most de-
cided parliamentary sparring against
the measure, which will probably be
led by Senator German on the Demo-
cratic side, and by Senators Chandler
and Aldrich among the Republicans.

lowing Issuance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. % - Senator
Mills has given notice of the following
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill:
And all laws which authorize the
secretary of the treasury to sell bonds
of the United States for any purpose
are hereby repealed
The amendment is intended to follow
the paragraph in the bill making pro-
vision for the collection, safe keeping,
transfer and disbursements of the pub
lie money, and for transportation of
notes, bonds and other securities.
Upon being asked whether it was his
intention to press his amendment pro-
hibiting the sale of any more govern
ment bonds, Senator Mills said:
Such is my intention. l mean to press
it to the utmost limit when the sundry
civil bill comes up
DO you expect to get a majority for
it?" he was asked.
That" he replied, 'is yet to be de-
termined, but 1 propose to see whether
there is a majority which believes in
the prohibition of bonds sales in the
future"
rs not there danger of forcing an
extra session in case you succeed in
having the amendment inserted?" was
the next question asked. To this the
reply was:
81 don't care if it does. I propose to
secure the adoption of the amendment
if 1 can, and I shall not be deferred by
fear of an extra session. I should per-
sist in the course have decided upon
if by so doing L should be the means of
holding congress here for the next five
thousand years"

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 22.-The Tay~

tically completed it's inquiry, and
will shortly make it's report. The
committee has, it states, gone very
fully into the details of Taylor's-
business affairs and developed
much of interest. The report
will fill about $50 newspaper col
course of the next ten days. Yes
terday the committee had before 1T
John Diamond, and he told some
items of interest which have not
yet been made public. 1t seems
that a week ago Mr.. Diamond quite
freely criticised the action of the
committee, and suggested with some
warmth that it ought to examine
the telegraph offices at Pierre and
Redfield, and that probably dis
patches in both places would contain.

Taylor's agents on the ground. and
might lead to the apprehension of

mond's great surprise caught in it's
drag net only one individual, and
that one Senator Pettigrew. 1t
seems that Mr.. Pettigrew owed the
bank at Redfield $1,000, and that
early in January he wired it to turn.
over the note to his bankers further
East, and it would be taken up. Mr..
Diamond in his testimony confirmed.
this, and also stated that on the
Sth of January Mr.. Pettigrew, at the
Locke hotel, paid $4,000 to Charles
Mccoy, as Taylor's agent. This
fact, in connection with McCoy's tes.
timony, that on Wednesday pre-
ceding Christmas Pettigrew was.
told by Mccoy of Taylor's shortage,
is thought by some to have signif-
icance, but the general view is that
the senator is in no way involveG

BERING SEA AWARD.
Gresham in "a Dilemma if the APP
preparation Bill Does Not Pass.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Secretary
Gresham has decided that he will make.
no further effort to induce congress to
pass the bill appropriating $42o, 900 to
pay damages sustained by British seal
ing vessels seized by our naval ships.
and revenue cutters in Bering sea
before the making of the modus Vi.
vendi. If the bill fails now, then he.
will proceed Immediately to draw UP
a treaty for submission to the senate
creating an arbitration commission to
adjust the claims. The United States
will have no other course open than
this, for we should be dishonored,
among nations if we failed to carry
out the obligations imposed upon US
by our voluntary act in submitting
the sealing question to the Paris arbi-
tration.
The Paris arbitra ton ruled out all
claims for consequential damages and
allowed claims only where the vessels
had actually been seized and where the
crews had been imprisoned. Even On
this basis the claims amounted to
nearly a million dollars. Besides,
there were about two score men, Off
GERS and crews of the seized vessels,
who suffered imprisonment, and their
claims were compromised for about
$4,000 by the agreement made by
Secretary Gresham.
The secretary believes that if all
these claims are submitted to a COM
mission for adjustment the United
States will fare much worse than uil-
der the terms of the pending bill.
