LONDON MONEY MARKET.
LONDON. ENG. October s.-6ar sill
Evening star., 1896-01-04

Yesterdays debate in the Senate led to
no practical results. The Finance Commit
tee Is still struggling with the bond and
tariff bills, but it is evident that the end of
the delay so far as that subordinate but
powerful body Is concerned will come in a
few days, and the general expectation is
that the bond bill will be reported in the
form OF a measure for the free coinage of
silver, and that the tariff bill may be per-
mitted to pass. Senator Sherman made a
vigorous attack upon the represantations of
the administration that more revenue Is not
needed by the government, and the logical
deduction from his speech, which is the
most notable utterance of the present ses-
sion, Is that with sufficient revenue no i'm
rairment of the public credit Is possible.
E.r. Sherman deprecates the idea that the
treasury can safely revive the old state
bank notes, and he shows the danger of
free silver. His speech is optimistic, as
characterized by the statement that the
present financial system. when cured of "a
few defects developed by time" Is capable
Of producing form Of money better than
Evening star., 1896-01-04

any other current in the world. He pre-
sents two remedies for the present ills of
the treasury: First, to prohibit the use Of
the redemption fund for other purposes,
and, second. to require that a note once re-
deemed for coin shall not be reissued ex-
cept for coin. In short, Mr.. Sherman pro-
poses to keep the gold reserve inviolate
and to prevent the use for current expenses
of funds derived from the sale Of bonds
issued to supply the reserve, well as to
check the endless chain" Of redemption
and reissue by making it imperative that
the stock of coin shall never be impaired
by the fluctuations of the redeemable notes.
There was a coed deal of>irritation OBJ
servable in the debate yesterday after
noon. and the party lines went to smash
once mora. Mr.. Elkins' resolution aimed
directly at the agreement between the
treasury and the be nd syndicate, appeared
to have a large majority, though it did not
ccme to a firal vote. The administration
had few champions to defend it, and it is
strange that it's most able and earnest ad-
vocate on the floor was Mr.. Hill, the hered-
itary political enemy of the President. The
onslaught on the proposed bond issue was
nerce, and its nature appears in the words
OF Mr.. Teller. who declared that .'the
American people facing this question must
see that either one of two things exists
an incapable administration Of public af
fairs or a dishonest one" This gives
foretaste of what may be expected If the
bond issue becomes fact under the cir
cumstances that now appear likely to sur
round it. The Elkins resolution in its pres
en-. form would not have the force of law,
IL adopted, being merely an expression of
opinion. but it is evident that it voices the
sentiment of a great majority of the Sen
ate, and 1T would doubtless pass both
houses, for there is unquestionably pow
erful sentiment in Congress, as well as
among the people, against these periodical
issues of bonds to banker syndicates, that
reap rich harvests from transactions which
are apparently Z ade necessary by the
bankers own operations

The Call of Charity.

The sudden and severe fall Of tempera-
ture that occurred last night has brought
the question of local charitable work
sharply to the front for the season. 1t
vas certain that the necessity for active
work of some kind would come sooner or
later before the advent of spring and the
citizens should congratulate themselves
that the winter has 20 far been exception
ally Mid and open Now that the cold has
brought suffering and distress the people
of the District who possess means in ex-
cess of their necessities should respond
hberally to the call for help that has
already gone forth. Food and fuel form the
two staple needs. and to supply these the
charitable agencies must have money. The
police have already felt the first effects OF
the cold in the sudden increase in the num-
ber of applicants for relief, and at police
headquarters 1t is stated that there are
practically no funds hand for such a
purpose The managers of the Central
Union Mission have decided to abstain this
year from conducting organized charity
work and to lend their aid to the regular
agencies for charitable relief IN other di-
rections than by giving direct assistance.
The burden of the situation falls directly
Upon the Associated Charities formed for
the specific purpose of conducting such
work. and it is. gratifying to note that the
officers and directors of this organizat ton
have responded promptly to the needs of
the situation. A committee of excellent
workers has been appointed to meet this
afternoon to take the preliminary steps
toward raising a fund that shall be usel
to give relief to the destitute VINO cannot
be cared for by any of the special agencies
through which the Associated Charities
has been operating. The plan of the Asso-
ciated Charities is to divide the cases of
destitution into classes for reference to
special means CT relief, but it is expected,
and it is probable, that by far the greater
number will fan Within the miscellaneous
class to be provided for directly by the
funds raised by the citizens committee.
1t is proper that this committee to ask the
contributions OF citizens should work in
close connection with the Associated Char
tiles, which is thus given charge of the
entire local field The people of the Dis
trict have always in the past responded
literally to appeals for aid, and IT is to be
expected that they will do as much in the
present emergency. Fortunately the severe
season will probably be much shorter this
year than usual, but this fact should not
operate to cut off the supplies contributed
to the committee. There should be no less Of
a spirit of generosity exhibited by the peo-
pie in 1896 than in former years. Indeed, it
is well that more should be raised than the
necessities demand, for in this way only
can there be provided surplus balance
hand at the beginning of next season.
1t is fortunate that there is such a bal
ance in the hands of the police at this
time. coming over from last year. for with
out it there must have been great deal
of distress unrelieved during the early
hours of the present cold snap.

: DR.. Jameson may have failed in his ex-
pedftien into the Transvaal, but he has
succeeded in demonstrating the extremely
inf1ammable condition Of European politics.
Emperor William has angered the English
people by sending a telegram of congratula-
tion to President Kruger upon the defeat
of the invading force and there Is an out
burst of war spirit throughout the conti-
nent. France is jubilating over the defeat
of Jameson and the discontinue of Cham
beriain who finds himself opposed not only
on the continent by such strange allies as
Germany and France, but at home by the
common people Theatrical audiences have
shown a fierce resentment against the gov
ernment for its disavowal of Jameson's ac-
tions and have cheered the name of that
hapless adventurer. Meanwhile the Beers
are reported to have wiped the English ex-
peditfon out of existence. and 1t Is reported
tnat they have tried Jameson by court
martial and executed him. The Transvaal
has long been a bone of contention between
the two powers that are now facing each
other in an ugly mood, and the little re-
public over which Kruger presides has
been under virtual British protectorate
that has not been satisfactory to Germany
and Holland, with which nations the people
Of the republic are allied by blood
1t is pointed out that the necessity of the
hour is for the organization of a interna-
tGnal protectorate over South Africa, and
the most notable feature of the discussion
Is that the continental program leaves Eng
land out of the arrangement naming
France, Germany and Holland Perhaps
some arrangement will be made between
Great Britain and Germany resulting in
peaceful settlement of the matters now en-
crossing the attention of the world, but 1t
IS difficult to see clearly through the smoke
that has arisen during the past few hours
The chief obstacle to such a result seems
to be the Emperor Williams impetuous ma
ture' which has already led to the note of
SO offensive to England
ana which may give rise to other serious
complications.

Both Tracks Closed.

The unexpected happened yesterday after

ether. and it is pretty definitely understood
that tip camef from Richmond that it would
be wholesome to suspend business for the
