An Informal Canvass of the House
Shows that Only 124 Members Will
Support the Measure.
OPPOSED BY MIR. COCHRAN
TAMMANY,s GREAT ORATOR CON-
DENNIS THE SCHEME IN A SPEECH.
He Thinks 1t Would Obstruct Trade
Instead of Promoting 1t other
Speeches in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--A rough prelim-
mary canvass of the House in the pending
currency bill has been made One of the
Democratic members of the banking and
currency committee who is favorable to
the bill is authority for the statement that
the canvass shows a total of 124 votes for
the bill, or considerablys Short of the neces-
sary number to pass it. Chairman Spring
er says that such canvasses as have been
made are informal and inexact. He will
give no figures, he says the purpose has
not been to learn who will vote for the
bill, but who are against it, in order that
objections may be met and, if possible
overcome. Other members interested in
the management of the bill profess to know
nothing of exact canvass. 1t is un-
doubtedly true, however, that pretty
close count las been made, with the result
just stated. There are so many PROPOSE
tions, substitutes and amendments pending
that it is probable any canvass would fail
to show the vote under the many varying
circumstances which may be presented
The wide margin of difference on a canvass
is indicated by the estimate of member
based on a canvass of State delegations,
that the bill would pass by majority of
twenty. 1t is also pointed out that the
vote of 124, while short of majority when
the full membership of the House is pres
ent, is reasonably strong vote when many
members absent.
There appears to be little or no oppo-
sition to the Democratic caucus on the
question to be held Monday. 1t was re-
ported to-day that some Southern members
would refuse to enter the caucus or to be
bound by it's action. Mr.. Holman, chair
man Of the caucus committee, said: II
think the attendance will be general even
though some member may not agree with
the sentiment of the caucus majority or
what ought to be done. A House caucus
is for conference and advice and does
not bind members on their votes or ac-
tion."
Chairman Springer. of the currency COM
mittee said he has heard of no oppoSi-
ton to the caucus. He thought the feel
ing was general in favor of it. Repre-
sentative Bland said he had not signed the
request for a caucus, but he would attend.
He said he believed in caucuses as tending
TO bring members together, but not as
binding them to course of action they
did not personally approve.
When the caucus petition was circulated
yesterday four Democratic members asked
to be excused from signing. They ex-
planned that they wanted to see how the
petition turned out and asked that it be
returned to them 1t was reported to-day
that Mr.. McI.ausin and other South Caro-
lima members would decline to attend.
This cannot be confirmed, however, as Mr..
McLaurin has not been in the House since
the recess. Mr. Talbert, another member
from South Carolina, has expressed a pur-
pose of attending.

PRIEST ASSAULTED.
His Face Slashed by an Unknown Man
Who Demanded Money.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.--Rev. Father
Peter d. Brady, rector of the parish of St.
Mary's College, has been the victim of an
unknown man, who assaulted him and in
ficted dangerous wounds. Last night at
o. clock a well-dressed man called to see
Father Brady. He was shown into the
parlor, and when the priest entered de-
manded money. May be have no money
for you," answered Father Brady. After a
volley of oaths the stranger sprang at the
priest with open knife, stabbing him
above the left eye, turning the blade and
making triangular cut. Father Brady
tried to push his assailant away, his right
hand touching the strangers face. The
man caught the priests finger in his mouth,
biting through the bone, meanwhile stab
bing Brady through the nostrils, on the
cheek and cutting his mouth so that it was
an inch larger. Then he beat the priest
into insensibility with his fists and quietly
left the house. Physicians believe Father
Brady will recover.

PASSES FOR STATE OFFICERS.
Decision That NuIlifies Clause in
New Yorlx's New Constitution.

ALBANY. n. Y. Jan. 5.--Judge Parker
has rendered 6 decision concerning the pass
prohibition clause of the new Constitution
that practically will nullffy its provisions if
sustained by the upper courts. After citing
the case of the State Railroad Commission
and its employees, who are entitled to free
transportation passes issued by the Sec
retary of the State, the court says it is OF
the opinion that it was the intention of the
trainers of the Constitution that the prac-
tice of giving passes to public officers for
personal expense should be stopped, but
the power of the Legislature to provide for
the necessary travelling and other expenses
of public officers while engaged in public
business should not be abridged This pro-
vision Of the Constitution must not only be
construed in the light of existing public
statutes but it will b. presumed that it
was drafted with full recognition OF them
Al peremptory mandamus was Issued direct
ing the Secretary Of State to issue passes to
