Carlisle Gives % List of National
Repositories.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Replying
to a resolution of the senate, the Sec
rotary of the treasury sent to
the vice president statement
giving the names of national
banks which are and have been
for the past ten years acting as de-
positories Of public moneys, in which
he takes occasion to refer and explain
the system Of deposits adopted in max
ing the recent sale of bonds He says:
: ''The special designations of the
hanks to receive deposits on account
of recent purchases of gold coin to
be paid for in United States per. cent.
thirty-year bonds, were similar to
those made by former administrations.
under like circumstances. and were
made with view to preventing the
monetary disturbances which a trans
action of such magnitude might induce.
The government is secured in it's
transaction by the fact that no paw
ment in bonds in any case is to be
made by the department until after
the banks shall have transferred to
the subtreasury a proper amount of
gold coin.
The statement shows the average
pdidACeS HeIu ny the repositories on
June 30 each year for the past ten
years to have been SO, 252, 900. The
amount held an the Both of June last
was $10,63S,52S. The smallest amount
reported was for 1893, when it was
$40, H. S7, and the largest was for 1883,

says the department is not authorized
by law to charge interest on these
deposits, and no interest has been paid
on them. All moneys to the credit of
the treasurer of the United States with
these repositories are subject at any
time to his drafts. He adds:
Under rule of the department, the
repositories have, during the past ten
years, been allowed to hold a balance
of public funds ranging from 80 to
ITO per cent of the face value of the Uni
ted States bonds held in trust by the
United States treasurer as security
therefor, upon condition that all public
moneys received in excess of that
amount will be transferred daily to

HOUSE DISAGREES
The Hawaiian Cable Amendmen emit
Seems to Be Doomed.

Seems to Be Doomed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The rush
of the closing hours of congress
showed itself today in the miscellane-
Gus character of the business trans
acted. An attempt to pass a bill to
pension Hiram Rhea, an alleged mem
Der of the Tenth regiment of North
Carolina mounted infantry, over the
veto of the president failed-96 to 1856
but the veto and the report of the sec
rotary of the interior showed that
Rhea was alleged to have been at the
time he was wounded a member of an
armed band of guerillas.
The house, by a vote of lis to $50, de-
cfded to further insist on it's disa-
igreement to the senate amendment to
the consular and diplomatic appro-
precipitation bill providing for the Ha-
waiian cable. The senate bill to regu-
late the deductions from the gross
tonnage of vessels for the purpose of
determining the net tonnage (Which
forms the basis of port charges) was
passed, and several conference reports
on bills of minor Importance were
agreed to. @'''--
The fifty-four bills passed by the SEN
ate Tuesday night, most of them of
minor Importance, were laid before
the house and disposed of.
T. The senate amendments to the bill
to prohibit the wearing Of the sign Of
the RED Cross" without permission
of the National Red Cross society was
agreed 6ol = Also senate amendments
to the bill granting railroads in Indian
territory additional powers to secure
right of way, etc.
After action had been taken on the
Hawaiian cable amendment and the
Rhea pension veto, several bills re-
lating to the District of Columbia were
passed, after which, at 5:45 p. M, the
house adjourned. ~
Many applications were made to
Speaker Crisp today for time to call up
d1fferent measures which have been on
the calendar and have not been given
consideration. There is an understand
ing that no more time will be assigned
by the committee on rules, but the
speaker may recognize members to call
up bills under suspension of the rules.
One of the principal measures which is
being pushed is the Phillips bill for a
commission to investigate the problems
of labor. capital and agriculture, and a
petition signed by a majority of mem
bers of the house asking the speaker to
allow the bill to be called I'D was pre-
scented.

yesterday morning twenty men started
TO work on the new ball park at Six
teenth and Lloyd streets, and this
morning the force will be doubled

width OF the property leased is 40
feet, and the stands will be as wide as

Crisis in Gotham Strike

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The electrical
contractors met today and decided 10
bring the strike situation to a crisis.
President Strong said the contractors
had hired 165 non-union men and many
more had applied for work. The strikers
insist that the employment OF non.union
men would intensity the trouble and
precipitate a general strike. which
would call out every branch of the
building trades. Some of those who
supply the contractors have suggested
arbitration. and this has encouraged
the strikers.

selling newspapers alone
Mr.. Savage explained that it was
by no means an ideal bill, nor was it
what they would all like to see be-
come law, but it was about all they
dared to hope would be passed by
the legislature. 1t was d step i'll the
right direction. Rev. Gjertsen was
satisfied with it, and said that It
was aimed in the right direction, and
would be a mighty step forward.
The audience then voted to Iec-
ommend the bill, and authorized the
president to name a committee to
act with the Committee appointed
in st. Paul few days ago. and see
that it was properly cared for in the
legislature.

JOHNS, CITY ATToRNEy Bill.

Whether or not there is any I'LL
terror design in the bill by Repre-
sentative Johns providing for the
election of the corporation counsel,
or city attorney, of large cities by a
direct vote of the people, the meas
ure will find many friends among
the great masses, many of whom
are, all unconsciously, Democrats in
all that the name, in it's true sig
nificance, implies. There are many
good arguments for the bill, and it
is unfortunate, both for the bill and
the credit of it's author, that Mr..
Johns should have tackled on a pro-
viso that the present incumbents of
all such offices, meaning, of course.
the incumbent of the office in ST.
Paul, should hold office until the
election of their successors under the
terms of the proposed act. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Johns bill could. I'M
der any circumstances, be enacted
in time to affect the office in st.
Paul; but the spirit of the pro-
vision is against public policy, and
tends to defeat the very end which
the bill assumes to seek. 1t means
this or nothing. If the bill does not
affect the term of office of present
incumbents the proviso means moth
ing; If it does affect present incum-
bents it is an injustice on the face
of it. If Mr.. Johns were to introduce
a bill lengthening or shortening the
term of office of an official of Wi
mona he would be impertinent, and

POSTMASTER GENERAL WILSON.


President Cleveland's nomination
of William l.. Wilson to be post
master general of the United States
is such a deserved and proper recog-
milton of fitness and merit that it
can hardly fail to command the uni
versaI approval of members of all
parties When the resignation of
Mr.. Bissell was announced and the
question of his successor began to be
discussed, the name Of William l..
Wilson was upon the lips of public
men all over the nation, not because
such an appointment would confer
additional honor upon him. for he
is already honored as one Of the
greatest men in the Democratic
party.
When others who called them
selves Democrats were trimming
their sails to fit the varying winds
that blew, William L. Wilson stood,
almost alone, as the consistent and
persistent advocate of the undying
principles upon which the Demo-
cratic party was founded. The party
of which he is a member may die,
but it's principles will live as long
as the love of liberty burns in the
human breast, and just so long will
the name of William L. Wilson live
in the admiration of men and servo
as a word with which to conjure
when public men falter in their duty
to the public. He went down in
defeat which was glorious in the fact
that he surrendered none of his
manly independence, none of his de-
votion to the principles of Democ-
racy, none of his hostility to the
doctrine that the many must pay
tribute to the few.
This official recognition of his serv-
ices to his country is but a feeble
expression, but it is the best that
can now be given, of the esteem
in which he is held by the people
of the nation and the official head
of the party which he almost saved
from utter humiliation.
