CONGRESS AND CURRENCY.
Secretary Gage TO submit IA Compre-
hensTve Financial Measure.

Washington, Dec. H-Secretary Gage
will appear before the House committee on
banking ana currency on Thursday and
submit TO them in the form of a general
bill his recommendations recently made to
congress.
The determination of Secretary Gage to
appear on Thursday to submit one general
financial BILL instead of a number of sepa-
rate bills, brought out many expressions
Of satisfaction. 1t had the effect of clear
ing up the situation and gave promise of
any early report to congress on financial
bills.
The understanding was reached as a re-
suit of the visit to the capitol of the So
licitor of the treasury. Mr.. Connell, repre-
senting Mr.. Gage. He talked with a num-
Der of the republican leaders, and it is
understood was advised by Mr. Dingley
and others that it would be desirable to
embrace financial subjects in one general
bill. 1t was decided that the first
thing to be done was to report
a bill embodying the three features
recommended by the President, viz: A re-
duction of the tax on circulation to p of l
per cent; the issuance Of circulation up
to the par value of bonds deposited and
the establishment of small banks i'm rural
communities. While these will be embod-
led in the Gage plan, yet, as they were es-
pecially advised in the Presidents mes
sage, it was felt to be advisable to give the
House the opportunity of acting upon them
at oncesnwithout waiting for the report on
the Gage bill. Fer these reasons, the full
committee on banking will be asked to re-
port on the Presidents plan at once.
The draft of a bill has been prepared by
Mr.. Brosius of Pennsylvania and this was
given to the solicitor of the treasury, who
is to return it in time for action by the
committee with such suggestions as the
treasury authorities may wish to make. AS
to the comprehensive Gage bill, this and
the MONETARY conference bill will be gone
over with care during the holidays and
as aresult of the better feeling created to-
day, members of the banking and currency
committee say there is no further doubt
that action will be reported 10 the House
soon after the holidays

POOR LOS PROGRESS.
Commissioner Jones Finds Room for
Great Improvements.

Great improvement.
Washington, Dec. 14.-Commissioner
Jones of the Indian office has arrived in
the city after an investigation of the IN
dian agencies in Oklahoma and the In
dian territory.
Generally speaking, he found that in
Oklahoma the wards of the nation were
making fairly good progress in the steps
of civilization. A notable exception is
that of the full-biooded Usage tribe, who
he says, are less advanced than they were
ten years ago.
Concerning the five nations in the In
dian territory, Mr.. Jones says their con-
dition is improving, though legislation is
necessary to bring about a settlement of
the vexed questions now pending there
He believes thar the Indians will not agree
TO the ratification of the treaties which
the government is DESTROYS of entering
into, that the time has arrived when par
leying with them should be stopped and
congress should take legislative action
looking to a cessation of the incongru-
Gus state of affairs. The laws of Okla
homa are made operative over the Indian
territory on Jan. l, and a delegation of
Indians from the latter place are now
here seeking to have the time extended
to July l.
The Senate subcommittee of the com
mittee on Indian affairs. appointed TO con-
slider problems presented in the Indian
territory, to-day practically decided to
recommend amendments to the present
law providing for the apportionment of
all the lands held by the civilized tribes
among the members of these tribes, and
also an amendment providing that all
valid leases shall be recognized by the
government of the United States and the
money paid on account of them received
into the treasury of the United States
for the benefit of the various tribes, as
such.
Ex-senator Dawes and Gen Armstrong
were before the committee to-day and
expressed their approval of the contem-
plated measure.

Would offer the bill as a substitute for that
which is now pending before the Senate
'tIn only one feature" said Mr.. Kyle
''does my bill differ materially from the
measure now before the Senate. My bill
provides that all immigrants shall have
their test of education made by the Unit
ed States consuls at the points nearest to
their homes. 1t is a serious hardship for
these people to cross the ocean with the
prospect staring them in the face of fall
ing in the test at the port of foreign
country. This feeling of stage fright
doubtless so seriously affects many of
them that they are unable to do them
selves justice in reading the prescribed
sections of the constitution of the United
States. The measure have offered is TO
remedy what l regard as defect in the
measure now under consideration in the
Senate"
At 1915 o'clock. the Senate adjourned.
