1893. Members of the commission are
to be named by the president Of the
United States
A good deal Of Importance at.
tached to plan reported by Chairman
Hanna. Of the national monetary COM
mittee. 1t provides for the creation Of
commission to be called The None
tary Commission" to consist Of eleven
members, these to be appointed by the
conference. This commission Is to
make a thorough investigation as to
financial needs, over-haultng the en-
tire currency system, and when Its de-
liberations are through it is empowered
to call the conference together to hear
its report. The conference is then TO
decide on the kind of bill to intro~
duce in congress.
Representative Fowler, of the bank.
ing and currency committee Of the
house, proposed that an executive COM
mittee be appointed to confer with
the proper house and senate commit
tees in drafting a financial bill with
the members of the committee to be
selected by the several states Any
proposition that might be submitted
direct by the conference, he declared,
would meet with resentment from
the house and senate committees and
would utterly fail. Other plans SUBJ
mitted provide severally for the retire
ment of the greenba cks, increasing the
national bank Issue, allowing banks to
issue. to the par value of the bonds,
reducing the tax on national bank
circulation from per cent to one
fourth of one per cent, and favoring
a direct resolution from congress MAIN
tanning the gold standard.
The statement of Representative
Fowler that the house and senate
finance committee would resent invas-
ion Of it's rights if bill were presented
by the conference YVES resented by Mr..
Sprague, of Chicago, who stated that
members Of the conference were not
there to legislate. All the resolutions
reported will be gone over by the COM
mittee on resolutions tomorrow.
A notable feature of the convention
is the absence Of Western delegates.
The South shows a fair proportion Of
delegates, while the East and Central
West furnish the largest delegations.
The programme as outlined by the
executive committee is designed to ex-
pedite the routine business as much as
possible. The convention may con-
clude by Thursday evening.
Henry Willard, of New York, who IS
here to attend the convention, favors
the resolution agreed upon by num-
her of Eastern delegates which is in
part as follows:
Resolved, That the maintenance OF the gold
standard is demanded alike by the principles
VI coIAuon noneSty anu py cCnS-Qerat-ons OF
business prosperity, to which end we invite
the cooperation Of all branches Of the gov
ernment of all commercial bodies and Of all
classes of fellow citizens.
E. V. Smalley, of st. Paul, said that
the resolution to be introduced COM
mitting the conference to the single
gold standard had his unqualified sup
port. He said the work Of the confer
ence would restore confidence to the
people and bring a more lax condition

MILLIONS IN NEED,
Famine Distress In India Is RAPIDLY
Deepening.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-Lord George
Hamilton, secretary Of state for the
indian department, has sent to the
lord mayor the statement upon which
the appeal for subscriptions for the
relief of the famine sufferers in India
was based. He says that districts with
a population of 100000 will be suf-
ferers from famine until the end of
March and that it may continue in
some parts until the end of June. In
other districts, having $4,000, 900 of peo-
pie, the distress may deepen, with FAM
Inc for a shorter or longer period,
while 100000 people in the native
states may be victims of famine The
density Of the famished population va
ries from 9O2 per square mile in Mozaf-
ferpore and Bengal, to 122 per square
mile In Bhalagot and the central
provinces. There were 10000 people
on relief work at the beginning Of Jan
uary, and this number will certainly
reach 100000. 1t is estimated that
the famine will cost the Indian treas
ury at least f4,000,000 to $1,000 900.
Today's cablegram from Calcutta
states that the distress is rapidly deep
ening. The Mansion house relief fund
amounted to nearly 200 tonight in
Guiding a donation Of f25O by the
Prince of Wales, and the donation by
the queen Of $500, which has already
been chronicled.

FRENCH PARLIAMENT MEETS.
Mussulman Deputy the Feature of
the Opening Session.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Parliament resumed
its sessions today. After listening to
an address from Admiral Valen, the
senate adjourned until Thursday. The
chamber Of deputies reelected M Bry-
son president and reelected the vice
presidents, M. Raymond Poincatie,
Paul Deschanel, Sarron and Gustave
1sambert. The Mohammedan deputy,
DR.. Grenier, recently elected in the
radical interests to represent Pointar-
her, was present and aroused lively
curiosity and ironical remarks. He
was attired in Arab costume kneIt
and kissed every floor as he entered
the house. He left it towards the hour
OF ablutions, and, when he emerged
into the street, he knelt and prayed
and kissed the muddy ground to the
great amusement Of the gamins, who
followed and jeered the deputy on his
way through the streets. DR.. Grenier
is rigid Mussulnan, who has an
nounced his intention of wearing the
turban and the burnous in the cham

with the title Of 1.-THE Prophet of Cod"
He is highly educated, a skilled de-
batter and doctor of medicine. He
never refused a consultation, never
accepts fee and gives largely to char
ity. He advocates free marriage and
polygamy and practices all the Mus
Sullndn rites, including bathing naked

due to bad management of the mod

they would chiefly benefit existing
stocks of sugar and result in an enor-
nous drain upon the treasury. M.
Graux insisted that the sugar bounties
Of France should be made equal to
those paid by Austria and Germany.
and that they should remain in force
until an international convention on
the subject is concluded. The propos-
ais were approved by the customs COM

bounties as being too high.

DAUNTLESS' RECORD.
Not at All Satisfactory to the Gus
toms Officials

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The secre-
tary of the interior has received from
. Collector Bisbee. at Jacksonville, a
report on the recent movements Of the
suspected fllibuster Dauntless, in
Which he incorporates an affidavit made
by Capt. Meyers, the master. The affi-
davft states in effect that on Dec.
~, he started on a wrecking trip, but
the weather was heavy and he conclud-
ed to go inside through Hawks chan
neL While in the channel, he discover
ed signals Of distress flying from a
point on No Name Key. He put into
the island and found about 35 men in
great distress, suffering from exposure
to the weather and want Of food There
was also quantity Of freightage in
unbroken boxes and packages. What
they contained he did not know, He
took the freight and men on board
and, as. nearly as he could recollect,
on Jan. he delivered them at sea- The
collector in commenting on the aff1-
daVlts, says that to his mind. it is very
defective In that it does not state to
whom the men and goods were deliver
ed, and also several other important
facts. The department when notified
several days ago of the application of
the DauntleSS, gave the collector in
structlons not to clear her, and now
that the report does not clear up the
record against the vessel, it is stated
that the instructions then given will
not be changed. If therefore, she ait
tempts to go to sea without clearance,
she probably will be seized by the
revenue cutters in ports for violation
Of the navigation laws.

he Is able to do this, the authorities
say, he is undoubtedly able to travel to
Minneapolis, and they fully expect that
he will be compelled to do so before
the end of the present week.
To those who are not supposed to
know, however, Mr. Haney Is still
sick man. His relatives state that he
is improving, but &C no further, and
only those who have made it their
business to find out or are on the--in-
side, know the true condition of affairs.
To eX-Sheriff Ege Monday last Haney's
physician said that his patient was
very much better, and that the rheu-
matism had left the heart entirely.
This is as much as could be learned
from members of the family and i'm
mediate connections. and it is only
through the most careful watch of the
shadows" that the authorities have
learned that Haney has recovered from
his latest attack
AT midnight last night no word had
been received from Normal or Spring
Held as to whether or not the requist-
t1on served upon Gov. Tanner had been
granted. 1t was fully expected at the
county attorneys and sheriff's offices
that the matter would have been dis
posed of before last night, and the
official anticipated a telegram from eX-
Sheriff Ege at any time The fact that
1t never came, however, did not dam
pen the spirits of County Attorney
Peterson. Last night Mr. Peter
sen acknowledged that such ac-
ton as is outlined above was taken yes
terday, but further than that he would
not go. other than to state that the
fact that no telegram had been received
was fairly good news, inasmuch as it
assured him the requisition had rot
been denied, but had at least teen taken
under aGVisement. Mr.. Peterson eX-
poets to hear from the seat of war this
morning.
II Gov. Tanner does not grant the
reQufsition Mr.. Haney will have to
stay in Illinois, The moment he sets
loot on the soil of another state he
will be promptly placed under arrest.
lhe Hennepin county authorities have,
in this respect, got the bull by the
horns and they do not intend to let go
until their demands are fully satisfied.
Illinois Is not very much ahead of Min
neSOta as refuge for rheumatics. and
Mr.. Haney will either have to come
back to Minnesota or let his malady
have it's way. If he comes back and
speaks his little piece to the grand
jury now in session, he may then leave
for Mexico or any other place on earth.
That is all is asked of him, and as he
is credited with a deal Of common
sense, he may probably come to the
conclusion that 1t would be much bet
ter and assure him a longer lease of
free air to accept the invitation of the
authorities and pay another visit to
Minneapolis, than to remain in Illinois.
