MIR. REEDS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Speaker Refuses to Formulate
New Legislation for Congress.
He Notifies the indianapolis Busf-
ness Men Who Called on Him
at the Capitol.

The executive committee, which was
created at the monetary conven ton held
at Indianapolis in January last, 30 Sc
cure the appointment OF IL commission TO
revise the currency system OF the United
states, called Oh Speaker Reed at the Cap
itol today.
Among the oumher were Mr.. H. II Hanna,
OF indianapolis, who was the chairman OF
the Indianapolis convention; GOV Stan
nard, OF st. Louis; George F Peabody,
of New York, and John 2. Irish, of San
Francisco.
The committee called on the Speaker
in pursuance of aTestIatiOn adopted az the
Indianapolis convention, directing them
Ito procure at the special session of Con-
greSs legislation calling for The appClnC-
ment Of a monetary commission by the
President TO consider the entire currency
question, and To report to Congress at the
earliest possible day
The committee set forth to speak of the
necessity of not oniy maintaining the pres
ent gold standard. but Of insuring the ulti-
mate retirement. of all classes of United
States notes and the establishment OF a
facilities TO every portion of the country
and at the same time afford safe and
elastic circulation
Trey stated that Congressional COM
mission or a commission of outsiders or a
mixed commission of Senators, Repre-
sentatives, and business men would be
equally satisfactory to them. What they
desired primarily, was the appointment OF
commission.
The Speaker replied that Congress had
been called together TO pass tariff blii
and that it was obviously to the inter
ests OF the country that this bill should
he PASSED at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.
He expressed the opinion that 1t would
be better if this bill We're passed in May
than if it's passage were delayed until
1uIv next Until final action had been taken
on the bill, he did not deem 1t advisable to
conulicate matters by the formulation cf
any new legislation The committee agreed
that this was doubtless the better COURSE
to be pursued. and with this the interview
closed.

REPUBLICANS LOSING HOPE
Their Chances for Controlling Sen
ate Committees Fading.
The Situation in Kentucky Mainly
Responsible for This Condi.
ton of Things.

The Republicans have about given up
hope of getting control OF the Sena te
committees. They are also much less
hopeful than they were fortnight ago OF
having majority vote in the Senate On
any proposition. The Kentucky situa-
tioR is largely responsible for the loss OF
confidence. The Republican leaders are
practically convinced that the Hunter
Bradley feUd viii prevent any Senatorial
election. Senator Hanna has tried to en-
courage his associates, bat it is an open
secret that the Senator's private advices
are to the effect that the chances OF
agreement are slight. Although Hunter
has been within two votes of election, he
has owed this nearness to the goal to the
favor of three free silver Democrats, who,
it is said, viii not stay by him on a
winning ballot.
The beliefis prevalent in the Senate that
the only hope of securing a Senator is in
the success of the much discussed Bradley
Blackburn combine. This coRtemplates the
election of Bradley by a combination of
Blackburn Democrats and Bradley Repub-
licans. The Democrats would expect to
fall at a special election.
Stal wart Republican Senators do not hesi-
tate TO deRounce this combination. They
say that it is criminal for Bradley to inn
peril and probably sacrifice the governor
ship to promote his own Senatorial ann
bitiOu. They say that the fact that such
combination is talked of proves that Black
burn and Bradley have had perfect I'M
derstanding from the beginning.
Ii tie Oregon and Kentucky vacancies
continue, the Republican hopes of con-
trolling the Senate will disappear in thin
air, and the committees viii remain as
they are at present, or be controlled by
the Democrats and silver combine. 1t
is now said that 40 further attempt will be
made to fill the existing committee va
caneies at the present special session.

CHANGES IN THE TARIFF BILL.
Glass Discs TO BE Put on the Free
List.

The Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee have informally de-
cided to remove from the dutiable list the
glass dies used in the manufacture OF
spectacles and eye glasses and place them
on the free list, where they have been for
q number of years.
one of the Contemplated amendments
which the Republican members will make
in the bill, will be change in the para
graph relating to underwear valued at less
than 81 80 a dozen. In the present bill
the duty is fixed at 35 per cent, the same
as the duty in the law Of 1890. In the
present law the duty is SO per cent. The
committee learn, however. that during the
past few years there have been considerable
increase in this class of wearing apparel
imported from Switzerland, and il is not
Improbable that the duty will be changed
to conpouud rate, which will equal
the so per cent rate OF the present law.

STOCKS DULL AND STEADY.
Weakness and Lower Prices the
Features Of the Early Trading.

New York, March 26. w Weakness again
characterized the early trading at the
stock exchange, and in the first half hour
prices receded anywhere from 1-2 to 2
per cent The selling was simply the con-
tinuation of the movement which set in
after rtbeannouncement of the Unit ed states
Supreme Court decision in the Transmits
souri, Freight Association case on Monday.
The further Withdrawals of leading
Western roads from freight associations
in compliance with the law is adding to
the bearish feeling, and at the same time
professional operators are more aggres-
sive on the short side than for weeks
past General Electric made the largest
loss, selling Gown to 81 Sd, while Bur-
nngton and Quincy dropped 3-S to II.

Story of The Crime. r..


Story of The Crime. r.....
Knoxville, Jan. 15.-An ugly scan
dial has developed explanatory of the
Hensel defalcation, published in The
Nashville American this morning. The
story is current and is generally be-
lieved that Hensel was the victim of a
blackmailing scheme. 1t is stated that
he was caught practicing an unmen-
tionable crime, and that q trio of Knox
vile sports have been bleeding him,
and in order to satisfy their demands
and keep it quiet, he has been robbing
his employers. The story seems in
creditable. but it is generclly believed
to be true. Hensel was a member and
an officer of the Episcopal Church here
and was a member of many of the
leading social clubs. The affair has
stirred the city from the very founda-
tions. Hensel two years ago married q
beautiful young lady of Virginia, who
is heart broken from the disclosures.
The defaulter is thought to be in New
Orleans.

A STRAIGHT COURSE
Pointed Out to Those Who Have Catarrh in
Any Form.

You have got chronic catarrh, have
you? You have had it some time? And
could not find cure? Well, there are
thousands more like you in this coun-
try, If the slightest vestage of the
catarrh remains over during the hot
weather it will begin to make itself felt
now, If you want to really get cured
this is the way to do it il: Get a bottle
of Pe-ru-na and take tablespoonful
before each meal and at bedtime. When
you have continued this for thirty days
sit down and write letter to DR.. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio. Tell him ex-
actIy your symptoms; how long you
have had catarrh what effect the midi
cine has had on you. He will answer
you letter promptly, telling you what
to do further. He will make no charge.
And if you will continue to write to the
doctor, following faithfully the advice
be will give you, you are sure to get
cured. Some cases take longer than
others. Perhaps the average length Of
time it takes to cure genuine case Of
catarrh is three months. Some get
cured much quicker than this. Stub
born cases may require longer treat
ment, Time or trouble ought to be no
barrier to one afflicted with this dread
full disease.
All people who are interested in
knowing about catarrh can get an in
structively illustrated 64-page book on
chronic catarrh in all stages and loca-
tion, free of charge, The book was
written by DIR. Hartman and will be
sent for short time to any address by
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio.

Pig Carried off by a Wild Animal.

Wabash, Ind, January 16.-A wild
animal, supposed, to be a catamount,
is devouring sheep and pigs and fright
ening the residents of Butler Township,
Miami county. 1t has been seen by a
number of farmers. Jesse Parr states
that he discovered the ferociaus beast
in his barn yard and as he started for
an ak the animal leaped at him, but
failed to strike him and jumped into a
pigpen.
When he had returned with an ak
the brute was getting out of the pen
with a pig in his mouth. He threw
the ak at it and struck it, when it ut
tered an angry growl and ran away,
leaving trail of blood on the snow.
The animal is described as being as
large as a shepherd dog, with faint
stripes on its hide.

WARNED BY THE RATS.
Twp Hundred Miners Hurry Out of COlliery
to Escape Squeeze"

Twp Hundred Miners Hurry Out of a COlliery
to Escape Squeeze"
Shamokin, Pa, Jan. 15.-There was
an exciting time at the Girard Colliery
this morning when two hundred miners,
with minds full of the recent Twin
Shaft disaster, hurried to the surface
to escape a "squeeze." Some time
after the mine had begun operation a
group of miners heard loud report in
the north slope, caused by the earth
settling. Rats scampered along the
gangway heading for other portions of
the mine and their appearance is a
never-failing warning of danger. A
messenger notified Superintendent
Law and it only took him few minutes
to realize the peril.
Summoning all the miners within
reach of his voice he told them off in
squads, with instructions to enter every
mine chamber and tell the inmates tc
get out as soon as possible Within
thirty minutes the mine was deserted
Then the superintendent and body O
volunteers set to work timbering III
weak spots and their efforts were re
warded by the pillars ceasing to bulge
whereupon Mr.. Law ordered every ont
from the mine strict instructions tina
no one should enter until there wer,
no more indications of continuance O
the squeeze. It will require seyera
days to determine the result.
