WASHINGTON, April I8-The debate
on the bond resolution proceeded yes
terday, Mr.. Hill continuing his speech
in opposition, which is not yet com

Nebraska to criticise the committee
for alleged impartiality to "Collis F.

personal alteration between Mr.. Gear
and Mr.. Allen followed, during which
Mr.. Allen declared that Mr.. Gear had

The Change to AIid-sumrner Heat IA,
Hroumhs Better Tlmea.

Change
Brought Better Times,
NEW YORK, April ls.-R- G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
The sBdden change from sleighine
to midsummer heat. with fair skies
in most cities, has tested the prevalent
idea that good weather only was
needed to bring general Improvement
to business. Everywhere there has
been more retail buying, and in some
branches better demand at wholesale
and az the works has resulted. but not
in most lines. There is no abatement
Of the almost universal disposition to
deal with unusual conservatism and
not to anticipate future wants, and
this has been especially cons icuous
where com binations have been formed
or prices advanced. The comparative
infrequency of serious failures. with
money less disturbed since gold ex-
ports began than might have been
expected, helps to give encourage
ment, but does not kindle speculative
fires; that such Improvement as ap-
pears Is mainly of healthy sort
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston III April thus far have been
eight per cent less than last year,
though larger than Ia previous years.
Textile works are less fortunate. The
silk association states that forty per
cent Of the machinery and hands in
the country are idle. partly because
of increasing japanese competition.
Several more wooden mills have shut
down, and some have reduced wages
ten per cent, while many are working
only half time.
Wheat rose Eve cents last week,
met some reaction. but is a shade
higher than a week ago.
Failures for the past week have
been 223 in the United States, against
24l last year, and thirty-six IN Canada,
against thirty -four last year.

GOLD CONTACTS INVALID
The Question Raised and Ruled on In a
Nebraa--a Cont.

Nebraska Court
OMAHA, Neb, April ls.-The cues
ton of the legality of what are
known as gold coin contracts, -
was raised for the first time in
this county yesterday 1t came up in
an action to collect payment of
$4,000 mortgage note, on which de-
fault in interest had occurred At
torney for the defense raised the point
in the District court as to the effect Of
inserting in a note or contract the
words '.to pay i'm gold coin, or the
words, Ito pay in gold coin or its
equivalent" and argued that in either
form the note would be illegal, being
in violation Of the legal tender law
and contrary to public policy 1t was
further argued by the defense that if
not voiding and invaHdating the note
entirely, the section requiring pay
ment in gold was void
During the argument the court said
it would not enforce that part of the
note contracting to pay in gold; that
if it came to a question of holding that
the note was payable in gold or the
contract was Illegal or void, the court
would hold that it was Illegal and
void

TALK ON WAR CLAIMS.

WARRINGTON, A priI 18.-The net re-
suit Of FIVE hours work on the private
calendar in the House yesterday was
the passage of four pension bills, one
to pens An the widow Of Rear Admiral
Foote $3.50 per month, the rejection
of a bill - retire a hospital steward
as a secoa& lieutenant of cavalry and
a passage of a war claim of less than
$500. The latter was the first war
claim brought before the House for
consideration and naturally provoked
a general debate on the policy of pay
ing war claims 1t drew from Mr..
MahOn, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the war claims committee;
Mr.. Walker, Republican, OF Massa-
chusetts; Mr.. Mccall Republican, of
Tennessee, and MIR. Evans, Repu bic
an, of Kentucky, eloquent pleas for
the payment of the findings of the
court of claims. Mr. MahOn argued
that these claims should be paid or
the court abolished. Barring the
cotton claims, he asserted. $50, 900, 600
would pay them, while Mr. Ray, Re
publican. of New York, thought $500,
GOO, 600 would not pay them. Politics,
of course, was injected into the debate
before it was finished, and there was
lively set-to between Mr.. DOcSery,
Democrat, of Missouri. and Mr.. eros
venOr, Republican, of Ohio.
