INVOLVES BIG EXPENSE.
Opposition to the Bill Creating n
Mining Department.

Harrisburg, Jan. 1.-THE opposition
to the bill intending TO create min
ing department is due to the expense
involved. 1t provides for one chief at
$1,000 salary, a deputy or chief clerk
at 81, 500; four clerks at 1900 and forty
mine inspectors at $4,000. There are at
present twenty-nine inspectors, who get
$4,000 each, but they are accountable
to nobody, and it is argued that the real
object of bill of this character is to
see that the work is done well and not
to create number of new offices and
take $73, 500 more from the treasury
every year
An attempt will be made to have
bill passed that will create chief Of
mine inspectors at a reasonable salary,
and give him two clerks, placing the
whole under the control of the depart
ment of internal affairs, the same as
the bureau Of railroads and the bu-
reau of Industrial statistics is now. This
bill will also provide that the mine
inspectors shall continue in number as
at present, hut they must report weekly
to the chief of the bureau, and will
be held responsible by him for failure
to report an accurate record of all their
work

this act the secretary of the treasury
should be authorized to create redemp-
tion districts, each bank in such dis
trict to select a bank in the central
city of such redemption district to act
as it's redemption agent, and to be re-
uuired to keep with this redemption
agent deposit equal to 8 per cent. of
it's outstanding circulation. Mr.. Fer
ris also argued in favor of permitting
banks of large capital to establish
branches in their various redemption
districts, for which provision was made
in the bill.
Mr.. Bradford said that for thirty
years he had devoted himself to the
study of various problems concerning
the national finances He asked now
the people of the United states could
be blamed for going astray on the hnan-
cial question, when the United states
senate set the example in insisting
upon the free coinage of silver and gov
ernment bonds were sold under con-
ditions recently existing. 1t would not
do, he said. to retire the greenbacks
without providing something to take
their place, else a panic might come
and the people would demand that the
retirement be stopped, as had been
done before. Mr.. Bradford criticised
the indianapolis convention for taking
no effective steps toward the solution OF
the currency question. He wanted the
secretary of the treasury to come be-
fore congress and tell what he wanted
in the line of currency legislation. He
thought this was the only way to make
any progress.

WARSHIPS SENT TO SIAM.
The Machias Ordered 10 Bangkok with
Instructions to Protect Ameri=
can Interests.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE gunboat
Machas left Canton for Bangkok, siam,
this morning in obedience to cabIed or
ders from Secretary Herbert Ito protect
American interests" The distance is
about 1000 miles, and the Machias
should reach her destination in about a
week. The state department declines
to diVulge the character of in1urma-
ton which it has received from Bang
kok which causes the sudden despatch
OF a warship to the scene, but there is
no doubt the attack on United states
Vice Consul General Edward Is. kellett.
by Siamesc soldiers is at the bottom
of it. Press dispatches three weeks ago
announced that Mr.. Kellett, who is an
unpaid official, appointed by Minister
and Consul-General Barrett two years
ago, had been fired upon and wounded
by Siamese soldiers. 1t was Impossible
to confirm this news at the state de-
partment at the time, but it was said
there that Mr.. Kellett had a right to
engage in trade, and possibly some per-
sonal affair of his own had led to his
arrest by local authorities.
Today it was learned that for some
time litigation has been in progress over
the estate Of an American of the name
of Cheek who held a valuable tusk con-
cessiUn from the Siamese government
stepped in and took measures to pre-
vent the sale of a number of elephants
he had raised and employed in getting
out timber 1t is also said that kellett
was the executor of the estate, OF the
agent of the heirs, and his friction with
the Siamese authorities. who, perhaps,
overstepped the usual legal methods in
trying to set rid OF him. No American
warship has been to Bangkok for about
seven years, and while Minister Bar
rett has been well received there, the
Siamese have not had as much respect
for the American flag as for that OF
either Great Britain or France.
The cruiser Detroit, which has been
ordered to return to San Francisco from
the Asatic station, and the gunboat
Yorktown, left Shanghai today for Ma
gaski, where the other vessels of the
fleet will rendezvous in order to send
home on the Detroit ali their enlisted
men whose terms have expired. The
Petrol. now at Mare Island, will re-
lieve the Detroit, and will take out an
extra complement of long-term men for

The political situation here is be-
coming intensely interesting. The Re-
publicans have held their general eau
Gus and named the following gentlemen
for the different borough offices: For
burgess, William Kennedy; auditor,

CELEBRATED CALF CASE.
Three Years in Court and Decided
Against o. and W. Railroad Co.

Fort Jervis Jan. IA decision has
been handed down by the Appellat div
ision .of the supreme court at Albany
in the celebrated "call case" in which
the Ontario and Western railroad COM
pany We're defendants. The decision is
against the company.
On July 5, 1898, Sherwood e McGrath
shipped a carload of seventy-four milk
fed or sucking calves to the New York
market from Liberty. The train on
which they We're shipped should have
arrived at WeehaWken at 8 o'clock that
morning in time for d sale at the Six
tieth street market in New York city,
but the train was delayed and the calves
did not reach their destination until
late in the afternoon. There was no
sale until the following morning, July
4, when there was a falling off in the
market value of the animals This, in
connection with their shrunken bodies
Ivy reason of being without their natu-
raj food, caused a depreciation of one
cent to the pound. on the return home
of the shippers they put in a claim
against the railroad company of $780,
The company refused to pay the claim
on the ground that the plaintiff had
signed a release" and they We're not
liable for the delay to the stock train.
In the suit, which was tried before
Justice ira Martin at Liberty, the jury
gave a judgment of SIG and costs
against the railroad company. The on
tario and Western people appealed, and
the case was tried at the Sullivan coun-
ty term of court on Oct. 49, 1894, which
resulted in a verdict against the COM
pany of $40 and costs. The company
then appealed to the general term of
the supreme court, which reversed the
judgment OF the lower court because of
an error in the charge of the judge.
The case was retired at Monticello in
June, 1895, but the jury failed to agree
after being out all night. The suit was
again brought up at the October term
in the same year. which resulted in the
jury giving the shippers a verdict of
S203.7j.
Again the railroad company appealed,
this time to the appellate division of
the supreme court at Albany. This
appeal was argued last month, and a
decision was announced on Tuesday OF
this week, which affirmed the Judgment
of the lower court. The amount of the
verdict and the costs now reach 500.

REBUFFED THE HYPNOTIST.
New journalism Tries to Invade a
Sick Room.

Danbury, Conn, Jan. T.-Nearly
eleven days have passed since Charlotte
Pittilla became unconscious in the hat
factory where she was employed, and
she has not shown any indication OF
returning consciousness. Her case be-
comes more puZzling daily to the physi-
clans who are attending her. They be-
leVe, however, that she is aware of
what is going on about her, but is un-
able to communicate with her friends
by word or sign or to move a muscle
to help herself.
Hundreds of letters giving advice are
being received, and the new journalism
is taking an active interest in the case.
A reporter arrived from New York this
morning accompanied by an alleged
hypnotist to try to awaken the girl. The
hypnotist got no further than the gate
of the Pittilla residence, where he en-
countered a negative subject in the
person of stalwart servant girl. The
hypnOtist retreated after the encounter,
and the experiment was not made.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 1.-THE gold re-
serve of the German Insurance bank,
amounting to $250,000 is safely locked
in the reserve vault and cannot be
reached.
President j. ], Fischer, who alone
knew the combination, died few weeks
ago. Search among his effects for a
memorandum giving the combination
proved fruitless.

They worked several days trying to
hit upon a combination. Failing in this
they began drilling two days ago. Their
progress is very slow and ii will be
some days more before the steel door
can be penetrated. The bank is not
hampered, as the usual vault is opened
by the cashier.

THE CURRENCY PROBLEM.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house COM

hearings today to Gamaliel Bradford,
of Boston, and b. b. Ferris, vice presi-
dent of the Bank of New York, all of
whom had suggestions to make con-
cerning the solution of the currency
problem.
Mr.. Ferris advocated the passage of a
bin which. he explained, was chiefly
drawn by himself and had been intro
duced by Mr.. Mcclellan, OF New York.
Mr.. Ferris said his plan was not a new
system, but was amendatory of the
present national banking act. Among
other features, the comptroller of the
currency should be authorized to issue
notes to banks up to the par value of
their bonds. To provide for the re-
demption of the notes issued under
