Washington, Dec. S.-When the SEN

vice president presented a communi-
cation from the secretary Of the treas
ury giving the number of aliens en-
ployed in the treasury department, as
called for by resolution May 8 last. 1t
states that the number of such aliens
at the time of the adoption of the
resolutions was &c. but since then al
most all of them had become natural
lied. Various other department COM
munications were received and referred

Canton, o., Dec. SIT rained steadily
and furiously all day in Canton, but
no extremes or vagaries of the weather
are effective in checking the rising
tide of visitors at the Mckinley resi-
dence.
When Major Mckinley returned from
the station at o'clock. whittier he had
gone TO meet Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette
Williams of Chicago, cousins of his
wife, he found people falling over each
other in the hallway and with no more
than a convenient amount of stand
Ing room in his study.
The commanding figure and snow
white hair of General Adam King of
Baltimore, formerly consul general to
Paris, first caught the eye of the
presidentelect, and he invited him and
his colleague. Talbot l. Albert of Bal
timore into another room for a private
conference. General King and Mr.
Talbot, who are both president cleo
tors came to Canton at the request
of all the electors and all the repre-
sentative Republicans of Maryland to
present to Major Mckinley the formal
endorsement of Maryland Republicans
of James A. Gary of Baltimore for a
cabinet position.
Mr.. Gary" said General King. sis
a man IN every way ntted we think
for the cabinet He is a successful
man of affairs and is an efficient and
ardent Republican. He would make
a very competent and 1 am sure very
popular cabinet officer. In view of the
result of the recent election in our
state, we think Maryland worthy of
recognition, and we have united upon
Mr.. Gary"

New York, Dec. S.-The Spanish

plants. in Havana and Matanzas, Cuba,
is having hard time, it is said, on
account Of the war in Cuba. 1t is a
New York state corporation, incorpor-

100000, which has since been in
creased to 100000 and represents a
consolidation of five gas and electric
companies in Cuba. 1t had a monopoly
of the gas and electric lighting in
Havana and Matanzas and before the
war broke out the gross earnings is
said to have reached about $1,000. 900

greatly reduced, and the company is

Washington, Dec. 8.-Comptroller of
the Currency Eckels has considerable
to say in his annual report about fnan-
cial stringency and congestion, and he
makes remedial suggestions of inter
est. Various amendments to the ma
tional bank act looking to giving relief,
are proposed by the comptroller. among
them the following:
That in places having a population
of less than 1000 inhabitants, national
banks shall be permitted, under regu-
lations to be made by the comptroller
of the currency, and approved by the
secretary of the treasury, to be or
ganized with capital stock of not less
than S25, 200, and with corresponding
reduction in the amount of the bonds
required to be deposited with the
treasurer of the United States.
That national banks be permitted,
under such regulations and restrictions
as shall be made by the comptroller of
the currency and the secretary of the
treasury, to establish branch banks in
towns and villages where no national
banks are established, and where the
population does not exceed LOCO in
habitants; such branch banks to have
loans and discounts, and buy and sell
exchange, but in no case to be per-
mitted to issue circulating notes other
than of the parent bank.
In support of his recommendation for
the establishment of branch banks, the
comptroller says:
The construction placed upon the
national bank act, now in force, by the
supreme court, precludes the establish
ing and maintaining of branch banks
under it, and he continues: The
permitting of branch banks would be
the forming of agencies, through which
a better trade distribution of currency
could and would be made; and further
on in his report he remarks that The
time must come when the banks shall
be such agencies OF distribution of
credit everywhere equally available to
the extent to which those seeking it
are justly entitled. 500, too, must a
point be finally reached when banks
shall issue all the credit currency for
the country and stand wholly RESPONSE
BILE. instead of the government, for its
redemption in gold coin whenever and
in whatever quantities presented
Further on in his report the comp
troller remarks:
"A policy in finance wrong in princi-
pie never becomes right in practice.
The truth of the statement is fully
illustrated by the course of the legal
tender treasury issues of the United
States. They have been always a dis
turbing element in business, and their
redemption a continuing weakness
and anxiety to the treasury"
He recommends, that legislation by
congress, based upon safe and prudent
lines, having in view the gradual pay
ment and cancellation of the credit
currency now maintained by the gov
eminent and the issuance hereafter of
all such currency through the banks
with full responsibility therefor placed
upon them. should be had at the very
earliest practicable moment The re-
suits which would follow such enact
ments would be beneficial and neither
would monopoly be created nor favor
shown thereby

As the Ten,ns Secs 1t.

Paris, Dec. s.-The Temps. comment
ing on President Cleveland's message
today, says it is worthy Of his admin
istrat ton, which has always borne the
stamp of honesty. Treating of that
part of the message bearing on the
Cuban question, the Temps declares
that the presidents attitude will satisfy
neither Spain nor the rebels. With
reference to Venezuela, the Temps de-
clares that the settlement of the ques-
ton on the lines proposed by the United
States is triumph for President
Cleveland, but that IT gives an upex-
pected extension to the Monroe doc
trine.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Temps telegraphs that that part Of
the message referring to Cuba has
caused widespread comment and much
adverse criticism. The Spanish news
papers publish bitter articles on the
subject, in which they attribute the
attitude of the United States to self
importance. springing from the con-
cessions of Great Britain in the Vene-
Zuelan matter.

The Pacific Roads Bill.

Washington, Dec. Sit is the pur-
pose Of Mr.. Powers (Rep.), Vermont,
chairman Of the house committee on
Pacific railways to arrange with
Speaker Reed for an early considera-
ton of the bill reported at the last
session to adjust the Indebtedness of
the Pacific roads to the government
This falls due within a few weeks, and
a settlement of the matter was
deemed of sufficient Importance by
President Cleveland to justify a refer
ence to it in his annual message, which
was laid before congress. Mr.. Powers
said today that he did not doubt the
committee on rules would report an
order setting aside a few days for
discussion of the measure He is
equally well satisfied that the urgency
of the case is such that the house will
pass the bill, as it is not a party meas
ure nor one upon which, in his judg-
nent, there should be amy = marked
difference of opinion in the house

sideratiOn.
Victoria. B. c., Dec. S.-A. r. Milne. C..
NJ G., collector of customs for Victoria,
Yesterday furnished the Behring sea
CLAIMS committee with a list of the YES
sells that cleared for sealing in 1886. Mr.
Peters, for the purpose, of showing that
seals were plentiful in the Behring sea
IN August, 1856, which was the month
the Carolina was seized, began to read
States at the Paris tribunal stating thar
there was a migration of seals to the
Behrin~ sea in June Of that year, and
that there were plenty of them in the
sea during the month of July. Mr.. Dick
lnson objected to this affidavit being used
as competent testimony in the present
case. and said that whereas the affidavit
IN question stated that the seals then in
BehrlnS sea were mostly females, he
could bring affidavitS presented by the
British representatives at Paris to show
that they were all males and pups. Mr.
Peters replied that the object was to
show not the sex, but to prove by the
affidavits used by the representatives of
the United States at Paris that seals
were plentiful at the time the Carolina
show this, and also that the Carolina
world have made a good catch if she
had not been prevented by the seizure
Mr.. Dickinson held that even if there
were plenty of seals it did not follow that
the Carolina could have caught them.
Other elements must be taken into con-
sideration, such as the ability OF the
Carolina's crew. The commissioners then
took the points under consideration.

MACEO DEAD AGAIN.
Rebel Leader Shuhies OF For the
Sixth Time.

Rebel Leader shufies on For the
Sixth Time.
Madrid, Dec. S.-The Havana corre-
spondent of the Impartial has sent a
dispatch to that paper which has
caused rejoicing among the people of
this city. who take it for granted that
the statements made are true. The
correspondent claims that he has per-
sonaily made an investiga ton Of re-
ports current in Havana of the death
OF Antonio Maceo, second in command
of the rebel army, and the son of Max
imo Gomez, the rebel cOmmander-in-
chief, and found them to be true. In
official circles the report is accepted
with reserve.
It has already been officially an
nounced about six times that Antonio
MaceO had been killed, and there have
been rumors innumera bic to the same
effect. Heretofore it has been the GUS
tom of the Spanish officials in Havana
to announce the death Of MaceO when
ever he defeated the Spaniards, either
in strategy or open battle. No recent
reports have been received of the
death of the Cuban leader, and it is
conjectured that the American CORE
spondents in Havana. knowing the
ways of the Spanish officials, placed so
little credency in the report that they
have not mentioned it in their dis
patches. The report that Maceo has
crossed the trocha and is moving west
ward to join the forces of Gomez, may
have prompted the Spanish officials to
circulate the statement that he was
dead.
There was found among the dead
rebels the body of a well-dressed man,
on which there were documents which
lead to the belief that the dead man
was the son of Maxine Gomez. Among
the papers found was one on which,
written with a lead pencil, was the
confession that the writer had COM
mitted suicide rather than abandon the
body of Antonio Maceo.
The war diary of Maceo was also
found. The news of his death has
caused the greatest kind Of a sensa-
ton in Havana. The loyalists are ju-
of Maceo a blow has been struck at
the rebellion that will result in its
speedy suppression. The rebel sympa-
thizers, though they feel very despond-
ent over the loss of the rebel leader,
a considerable number of them place
little reliance on the truth of the
news.
Though the SDaniards are confident
thai Maceo is really dead this time,
some Of the Cubans profess TO believe
that the finding CT the confession and
the diary was due to a trick of the
insurgents to delude the Spanish into
the belief that Maceo was killed, while
he pursued his plan of reaching Co
meZ.
The important news reached Havana
last night, but the censor would not
permit Of its being cabled until this
evening

Important Organization in 81
Louis, To.
There VIII Be Five Thousand Vol
unteer Speakers In the Cause of
the White Metal In the Field
Within Three Months.

st. Louis, Dec. S.-The National Bureau
Of Volunteer Speakers has been organ
lied with headquarters in st. Louis and
Washington. This organization, it de-
veloped today, was formed during the
recent hunting trip in which William
Jennings Bryan, Governor Stone of Mis-
souri,, Senator Jones of Arkansas and
other distinguished Democrats par
ticipated. Walter J. Vrooman of this
city has been chosen chairman and Sec
rotary of the bureau, and Lee Meri-
wether. labor commissioner of Missouri,
treasurer. An aggressive campaign of
silver agitation will be carried on for the
next four years.
The purpose of the bureau is to main
tain speakers in every county in the
United States. These speakers must
pass an examination as to their fitness.
and will be supplied with all their argu-
ments and statistics obtainable. The field
workers will organize free silver clubs
and make monthly reports of progress.
One of the incentives to active work is a
roll OF honor. This will be made I'D of
those workers achieving the best results.
and a place on the roll of honor will be
the strongest credential for preferment
to a successful candidate for president in
1908. Mr.. W. j. Bryan has been con-
suited in every step taken. and has con-
scented to become custodian of the roll
CT honor in the following letter:
Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. 2S
ITO the National Bureau of Volunteer
Speakers, Walter Vrooman, Chairman,
ST Louis. No:
My Dear Sir-Yours of November ID
received 1 note what you say in regard
to the National Bureau of Volunteer
Speakers. 1 shall be glad to receive the
honor roll of volunteer speakers, VINO,
under the auspices of your bureau, labor
to cultivate an interest in political ques-
tons and increase the devotion TO our
government. You are quite correct in
saying that the honors of victory must
be shared by the soldiers as well as by
the commanders. In fact. it is much
easier to select commanders than it is Tor
commanders to secure soldiers.
Your plan of keeping record of the
work done by each in this great contest
enables honor to be given where honor
S most due. Very truly yours.
"W. ]. BRYAN"
1t is the intention of the bureau to
have 5000 speakers in the field vr.,in
three months and to keep the enthusiasm
going until election day in 1860.

Butte, Mont. Dec. 8.-A company of
volunteers is being organized in Butte

condition that they are to be in effect
when the United States recognizes the
