WILL DISRUPT HIS PARTY.
Premier BowelIs Course, 1t Is Said,
Will Prove Disastrous.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 10.-Premier Bowel
is, for the time being, master of the poiit-
ical situation. 1t Is asserted by his friends
tonight that he will pull through the crisis
and have the seven ministerial positions
filled when Parliament meets Tuesday. In
doing so. however, he will cause the dis
ruption of the Conservative party, as at
present organized, as the boilers from the
Ministry are opposing his every effort. AT
best, the Premier can only get together
makeshift Ministry, whose object In assum-
ing control of the affairs OF state is to
carry through the policy of the govern
ment laid down il the speech from the
throne. Chief among the measures pro-
posed is that of remedial legislation for the
minority in Manitoba. Should it be of a
drastic nature its defeat and the downfall
OF the Premier is considered certain. To-
day the resigned Ministers had a caucus
with Lord Aberdeen at Rideau Hall, and his
Excellency is said to have failed in an en-
deavor TO bring about a reconciliation. Even
with a scratch Cabinet, Bowelfs tenure
of power cannot possibly last very long.
His intention is to have the speech debate
and action thereon taken and then retire
with the satisfaction of having it recorded
that he did his best to carry out the legis-
lation planned by his government before be-
ing defeated.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-The Republican
members OF the Senate find themselves in
a curious predicament. Through the perni-
cious activity OF Senator Teller, Of Col
orado. and a handful Of his free-silver Re-
publican associates, the Republican Sena-
tors will soon be indicating by their actions
the disgraceful course pursued by the Demo-
cratic Senators who two years ago were in
charge of the Wilson tariff bill. 1t was the
constant excuse of the Democratic members
OF the then Democratic finance committee
that the Democratic majority in the Sem
ate was so small that they were compelled
10 yield to every Democrat who made some
protectionst concession the price of his
vote for the bill. Messrs. Teller, Baker
Perkins and the others OF that clique are
pursuing the identical course now with re-
gard 10 the Dingley emergency tariff BILL
The Republican members of the finance
committee are anxious TO report the bill
back to the Senate in exactly the form in
which it was received from the House. The
Democratic Senators announce semi-official-
~ that they will not flibuster against the
bill. but will content themselves with a
negative vote. Come now the free-silver
Republicans and declare that while they
will not prevent the committee from re-
porting the bill in its original shape. they
will insist on amendments being made in
the Senate. and in the cvent of the commit
tees refusal they viii. vote against the BILL
The conditions that brought about the Cor
man-Wilson nondescript are being exactly
paralleled. and the free-silver Senator'S are
furnishing the so-called conservative Sen
ators who framed the odious Senate tariff
bill with glorious vindcation. The Repub-
lica1 senators recognize that the majority
by which the bill can pass the Senate is
only one, or. at the most, two. Hence the
refusal OF a single demand by any recall
citrant Republican will down the bill. There
fore, the Republican Senator's fear that the
finance committee will in the open Senate be
compelled TO surrender by permitting
amendments which certain to kill the

amendments and the Senators in charge of
the bill yield TO them, as they must, then
the Democrats will of course be compelled
10 deviate from their present proposed
policy OF passive resistance. and a tariff

weeks, and which, even If the bill In some
shape should survive would make q veto
inevitable Thus the Republican silver SEN
ators propose to destroy the object of the
Dill, which was to quickly raise revenue in
an emergency which makes additional rev.
enue necessary.

Bill of Interest to National Banks
May he Reported to the House.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-It is not i'm
probable that the committee on banking
and currency In the House will report to the
House shortly a bill permitting national
banks 10 issue currency up to the par value
of the bonds deposited by them with the
government TO secure their circulation. As
is We'll known, the present law restricts
their circulation to 80 per cent. OF the
bonds deposited. A bill authorizing circula-
ton issue to the par value OF the bonds
was perfected In both branches OF Congress
last year. but failed OF action. This year
the bill has again been introduced In the
House by Representative Johnson, Of In
diana, who. being a prominent member CT
the banking and currency committee, 10
which committee the bill was referred has
been earnest in pushing his measure TO sue
cess. 1t Is understood that the subcOmnit-
tee TO which the bill was referred in COM
mtttee Will make a favorable report ~ the
full committee, and that the latter VIII
make strong report TO the House, urging
reason TO believe that speaker Reed a
vorS the measure, and that the rules COM
mittee will accordingly name day for
bill will pass the House, and there Is good
ground for hope that, in spite of the Popl-
lists and free-silver men in the Senate,
vote can be obtained in that body.
Senator Nelson to-day introduced bill
for the general revision of the national
banking laws. 1t provides for decreasing
the capital required OF banks in cities of
fewer than $4,000 inhabitants. All banking
associations are required to deposit with
the Treasurer OF the United States interest
bearing bonds amounting TO one-quarter OF
their paid-up capital stock. and, upon max
ing such deposit, they are entitled TO re-
ceive circulating notes equal in amount 10
the par value of the bonds deposited,
the Secretary of the Treasury being author
lied to have printed the extra notes thus
made necessary. These notes are to be
made payable in gold coin. All national
banks are to be required to keep on hand
at all times a sum In gold coin equal to
per cent. OF their circulation. The banks
in the cities Of Albany, Baltimore, Boston,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Louisville, Milwaukee, New Orleans,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
st. Louis and San Francisco are
TO keep hand % per cent. of
the amount of their deposits in gold coin
and treasury notes. and banks in all cities
10 per cent. Clearinghouse certificates rep
resenting gold are to be deemed gold coin.

witness case was enlivened to-day by the
production. as a witness, of secretary and
treasurer, John w. Searles, of the Trust,
who is also under Indictment for refusal
to testify before the Senate committee. The
defense Immediately objected to his testi-
mony. The prosecution asked him the formal
questions TO his name and position, but
when questioned regarding other matters
Mr.. Searles refused to testify. District At
torney Birney insisted that the court should
require him to answer the questions put
to him, but ex-senator Edmunds made a
brief argument citing authorities to show
he was not required 10 testify; that he was
a defendant in the same sense and under
the same circumstances as Chapman, and
that he could not be compelled TO give tes-
timony that might tend to incriminate him.
self. Judge Cole held that Searles could go
on and testify, taking advantage Of his
privilege TO refuse to answer questions that
might be discriminating to himself. This was
the first material victory secured by the
defense during the whole trial. Searles re-
fused to answer the question and the case
was adjourned until Monday morning.
