No Remedial Legislation.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-"Little hope is en-
tertained that any remedial financial
legislation will be passed at the present
session of Congress-" said James HI,
Eckels, Comptroller of the Currency,
today. THE House has passed the coin
bond bill, but unsatisfactory as it is,
there is little hope of its passing the
Senate in any form that will be salts
factory to the House If passed at all
by the Senate 1t will be with a free
silver amendment attached. Under
such circumstances it will not be nee
essary for President Cleveland to veto
such a measure. because the House
would not agree to the amendment
THE bond issue is expected TO afford
temporary relief. No doubt is enter
tanned of the sale being successful or
of the whole issue being taken. OF
course 1t is on open question whether
the gold to be paid for the bonds will
not be withdrawn from the United
States Treasury to pay for them.
Should that be done the relief afforded
would be reduced just to the extent
that the gold is withdrawn. So long as
the greenbacks are outstanding just
so long will our National finances be in
an unsatisfactory condition.

In reply to a question from Mr. Chan
dler. that he did not think IL the Gov
eminent owned the lines il would be
wise to lease them. He saw no reason
why the Government should not con-
troll all the telegraph lines in the coun-
try or those extending from this to 9TH
er countries. He was also opposed to
subsidies and said the present scheme
II executed. would open the doors to an
expenditure of probably $500, 900, 900.
He referred to the construction of the
Pacific railroads on a subsidy, saying
that he thought the Government ought
to have built the roads itself. He con-
fessed that this was paternalism.
Mr.. Allen said the Pacific roads had
been looted and plundered. and the peo-
pie We're now met by a debt of sixty
millions which this Congress must pro-
vide for. 1t would be the same with a
Pacific cable company. Another cor
poration would be created to send its
several tools to Congress to influence

Hale Champions Gen. coppinger.

washington, Jan. Ex-senator Hale
made an argument before the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs today in
favor of the confirmation of the nom
ination of Gen. Coppinger to be Briga-
dier-General. He said that Gen, Cop
pinger had served through the war as
an officer, had fought in thirty-one
battles and had been wounded in two.
He produced the original letter OF
recommendation to the Governor of
Connecticut. written by Gen. Custer and
Endorsed by General Sheridan, recon-
mending in strong terms the promotion
of Mr.. Coppinger, then a Captain, to the
Colonelcy of one of the Connecticut
regiments. Senator Hale said the delay
on the part OF Gen. Coppinger in taking
out his naturalization papers was due
to the fact that he had an interest in
the entail of an estate in ireland, wnIcn
ne was ADVISED by prominent Ameri-
cans, including Mr.. Blaine, might be
endangered by his becoming a citizen
of this country. He called attention to
the fact that Coppinger had been COM
missioned several times and had taken
the oath of allegiance on all such oc-
casions. He accounted for the Cen
erals participation in the civil con-
fiict in Italy when young man. by
saying that he was professional
soldier.
The committee adjourned without
passing upon the nomination, which is
being fought by the A. p. A.

Cuba's Friends in Congress.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE question of
recognizing the belligereney of the Gu
ban insurgents absorbed much of the
time of the House Foreign committee
at its meeting today. There exists a
strong sentiment in Congress favorable
to immediate recognition of the reVolu-
ton. and the leaders OF this sentiment
are very active, although ii is not yet
demonstrated whether they represent
majority of the House. Some dissatis-
faction was expressed because the State
department has not yet furnished the
committee the information in it's pos
session upon the status and progress
OF the war in Cuba. About two weeks
ago the House adopted a resolution
calling on the Secretary of State to
forward all the evidence in the case in
its posse S. ion. This resolution has been
reinforced by the request of the com
mittee. Particular request has been
made for the reports and letters to the
department by Cons sui &c neral Williams
at Havana and the United States Com
suls In Cuba. The committee is having
an exchange of views upon the Cuban
question. A majority of the committee
recommended deliberation.
The conservative position Is taken by
the members of the subcommittee
Messrs. Adams. Draper and Hit, who
have charge of the Cuban question.
The net result of the meeting was an
agreeing to intimate to the State de-
partment that the committee Is waiting
solicitously for the information in its
possession.

The CARA Raid in Mexico in 1891
Racallod nv A Suit

Washington, Jan. 13.-Ex-Secretary
of State John w. Foster appeared be-
fore the Supreme court today to argue
the case of Plutarco Ornelas, Consul of
the Republic of Mexico, VS.. Irrez Ruiz,
Jesus Gerra and Juan Duque. The
case revives the history of the Cara
raid into Mexico in 1891 and 1892 The
defendants, together with about 1870
others under the leadership of one
Benavides. made an attack upon the
Mexican town of San Ygnacio and
killed several Mexican men and carried
off their women. They were arrested
by the United States Marshal, on the
application of the Mexican Government,
on capital charges. but the case was
appealed to Judge Maxey of the United
States District court. He released the
prisoners on the ground that the Of
lenses charged against them were of a
political nature. The Mexican authors
ties appealed from the decision to the
Supreme court. Mr.. Foster, in urging
the case, took the position that the
Benavides party had no connection
with the CARA raid. He declared that
the Cara instruction had been sup
pressed year before the occurrence
at San Ygnacio and that the latter af-
fair was a mere piece of marauding
FOR the purpose of murder and pillage.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE merits of
the controversy between the Bannock
Indians and the State of Wyoming as
to the right of the Indians to kill game
in contravention of the Wyoming State

beas corpus. The Sheriff has appealed
the case to the Supreme court. 1t is
understood that a motion will soon be
made to advance the case on the dock
ct. and it is believed that the motion
