TO PROTECT THE POOR,
Bowers Argues the Bill for a
Postal Savings
Bank.
Denounces Men of Money Who Have
Grabbed Up the Earnings
of Labor.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Mr..
Lord, chairman on Postoffices and Post.
roads, organized his committee to-day,
and Bowers of California appeared before
it to advocate his postal savings bank bill.
He argued that the main purpose of the
bill was to provide place where "com-
mon people," the wageworkers, could de-
post such of their small earnings and
savings as they could spare and be sure OF
recovering them when wanted. He said
that nineteen-twentieths of the people OF
the United States were wageworkers and
producers who created all the wealth.
The one-twentieth consisted of commits
sion men. generally enormously called
business men, who produced nothing, but
lived and often grew rich by appropriating
either legally or illegally, honestly or dis
honestly, small, earnings and savings OF
common people.
From every part of the country comes
the demand for the postal savings system.
1t is only opposed by commission men
the so-called business men-bankers and
spectators, whose business it is to absorb
these small savings and earnings without
giving value received.

from Constantinople, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
and it may be, indeed it is likely, that it is
the work OF the same representative,
though it seems strange that the Havana
and Constantinople representatives OF the
Chicago Associated Press should be located
in Boston. One would fancy that such an
arrangement might be confusing, leading
TO the capture of Havana IN Asia Minor,
or the slaughter of the Armenians by the
Kurds of Santiago de Cuba and the Bashi-
Bazouks of Santa Clara. Clearly the opera
ton of such a system must involve much
greater care in the dating of dispatches"
than in their manufacture.

PROBABLY LOST At SEA,
1t Is Feared That the Wild
Flower Foundered During
a Terrific Gale.
The Steamer Left Philadelphia for
Rouen With Cargo of Oil and
Crew Of Thirty.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 7.-During
the terrible gale which swept the Atlantic
In the middle of December it is believed
that the British steamship Wild Flower,
which sailed for Rouen, France, on De-
cember IL, with. crew of thirty men,
foundered in mid-ocean. There has been
anxiety for her safety for some time and
she was posted in Lloyds' shipping-rooms
in London to-day as a missing vessel.
Captain Frederick Stanwell OF Wiesbeck.
Eng, commanded her.
The Wild Flower was bulk oiI-carrier
of large dimensions and was one of the
Fox line of oil-carriers. Her cargo was
valued at $59,659 and fully insured in for
eign companies.
The missing vessel was owned by Alfred
Stuart & Co. of London. large holders of
steam craft engaged in carrying oil in

party was dead, and declared that when it
did die the last hope Of popular government
would have disappeared. Ii the income tax
in the Wilson bill had been collected,
there would have been no deficiency of
revenue. He reviewed the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States which
declared that tax unconstitutional, and
asserted that no decision had ever been
rendered by that court which had done so
much to destroy it's influence and to excite
distrust among the masses of the Ameri-
can people. including intelligent and
thoughtful lawyers. For hundred years,
he said, no lawyer had doubted that Con-
gress had the right to tax the income of
real and personal property without appor-
tionment according to population among
the States. He did not propose to analyze
the decision OF the Supreme Court declar-
ing the income tax unconstitutional, nor
should he trust himself 10 enter into the
conjecture as to the reasons which caused
one member of that court, after agreeing
deliberately as to the consuitutionality of
the largest portion OF the law, to reverse
his opinion two weeks afterward on re-
hearing. The name of that Justice was
unknown. 1t was known alone to himself
and his official associates.
Vest then went on to reply to Sherman s
speech in criticism of the Democratic ad-
ministration, and he pointed to the fact
that during the four years of Mr.. Cleve-
lands first term the export of gold was
only $4,000, 900, while in the next four
years of Mr.. Harrison's administration
the export of gold was $213,0O0,0O0.
Coming to the question of the free coin
age of silver, Vest declared that the Re-
publican party was as hopelessly divided
on that question as the Democratic party
was, and the struggle of Republican SEN
ators was to evade that issue if possible
and not to permit the general public to as
certain that they were as hopelessly d.
vided on it as he claimed--and as he
conceded the Democrats were.
'.All the people of this country" Vest
exclaimed, ''are engaged in an irrepres-
sible conhict-as irrepressible as that
which marched the armies of the North
and South in the Civil War. 1 trust that
the settlement will not be by violence.
hope and believe that it will not be. But
the conflict is Just as irrepressible, and
must be fought out to the last extremity
All attempts to evade the issue are impos-
sible. The sooner it is settled the better
for the tranquility OF the country and the
better for the public and private life of
the land.''

sentative from Utah, and in accordance
Herewith Allen was sworn in as a mem
Der of the House.
Henderson (R.) Of Iowa reported from
the Committee on Judiciary its unani-
nous substitute for resolution introduced
by Representative Hubbard regarding the
enforcement OF the antitrust law. The
original resolution assumed that the At
torney-General had failed to carry out the
law, and the substitute calls upon the At

steps he has taken in that direction and
what further legislation is needed to pro.
tect the people against trade trusts and
conspiracies. The substitute was agreed to.
The House then, at 1:25 P. NJ, adjourned
until to-morrow, when the rules will be
reported.

pointment of two new employees in the
doorkeeper's division, one of whom had
been discharged after a service of nearly q
score of years.
Johnson (R.) of Indiana and Walker
(R.) of Massachusetts denounced the dis

said had been made necessary by reasons
of the demands of the ''com bine," which

Walker went further. saying the recon.
mendation of the committee was requested
to repair the damage to the public service
by the combine. He also asked whether
or not the reading clerks who could not
be heard on either side of the house were
to be retained throughout the Congress
not by the will of the Speaker nor OF the
House. but of the gentlemen ''who farm
out the Offices"
The report of the committee was adopted
--150 to 10.

MATANZAS, CUBA, Dec. 81 (via Tampa,
Fla, JAN 7).-Already the dire effects OF
the war are being felt in this province.
The Mayor OF Corral False has telegraphed
TO the Governor of this province report
ing large number of persons asking for
food and protection in their misery.
The Mayor reported that in that town
food was getting very scarce owing to the
cessation of all communication. SenCrs
Diaz Foyos OF the Atrevido sugar estate,
near Macurriges, reports that nearly
1000 people have sought safety by moving
on their property; that they were wholly
without food of any kind except what the
estate had furnished them. Their anxiety
and misery lad been added to by their
being surrounded by bands of rebels.
When the messenger left with this in
formation an attack was expected.
\ mass meeting of the merchants of this
city has Just been held, at which the whole
situation was discussed, including the
awful position of the inhabitants of the
many towns in the interior of this
province. A spot subscription was made
and instant relief will be sent 10 the in

They are absolutely relentless in their role

Yesterday Sitio Laupio was visited by a
large body Of rebels. They were under the
command of Emilio Arrange. They seized
all the horses in the vicinity, leaving tired,
broken-down animals in exchange.
