SECRETARY GAGE EXPLAINED
Objects Of Bill Prepared by Head Of
Treasury Department Stated to
House Committee.
TO STRENGTHEN UNITED STATES CREDIT
Will Commit Country More Thoroughly
to Gold Standard-Government In
debtedness Must Be Reduced
and Extinguished.
TO STRENGTHEN UNITED STATES CREDIT

Washington, Dec. 16,-Secretary Gags
appeared today before the committee on
banking and currency of the house oi
representatives to present bill embo dy.
ing his views for the revision of the cur.
rency, to explain and urge its provisions,
and meet any objections raised by the
committee. The secretary was accom-
panied by Judge O'OonnelI, collector for
! the treasury. Mr.. Gage spoke in an easy,
conversational manner, from the follow
ing notes:
He said: "The objects l have in mind
in the series of provisions offered by me
are four in number.
"lst-To commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard; remove
so far as possible all doubts and fears on
that point, and thus strengthen the credit
of the Unlted States both at home and
abroad.
"2nd-To strengthen the treasury in
relation to its demand liabilities, in which
are included greenbacks and treasury
notes, incidental obligations to be main
tained on parity, through an inter
changeability with gold, and 80 far as
may be necessary, the present large vol
ume of silver certificates and silver dol
lars.
"3rd-To do this in such way as not
to contract the volume of circulation in
the hands of the people.
"4th-To take the initial step toward a
system of bank note issues without the
conditional deposit of public bonds as
security therefor.
IF we prosper as a people the revenue
of the government ought to be somewhat
in advance of its expenditures, and the
public debt of the United States gradu-
ally reduced and finally extinguished.
Looking at the question widely, from
my best point of knowledge and ex.
perience, feel that if these could be Sc
cured, the condition of the government
in its relation to the CURRENCY would be
m ucb safer and stronger than now, and
through the operation of the national
bank note currency, the commercial and
industrial interests of the United States
would be greatly advantaged."
After this initial statement it was
deemed advisable to read the secretary's
bill in detail and discuss it by sections.
The currency bill filed by Secretary
Gage was introduced in the house today
by Chairman Walker, of the banking and
currency committee. The bill is identi-
cal with the bill submitted to the COM
mittee, save for few changes of no es-
pecial signfience, suggested by Mr..
Walker.

Beet Sugar Industry Mt Eddy.

The beet sugar company will plant
about 1000 acres of beets the coming
season, on the vineyard, the Greene home
place and various pieces of company
land in the valley. Over 200 Mexicans
will be employed until after the thinning
season is past. The company will, 1t is
estimated, raise 5000 tons of beets on
this acreage and possibly 10000 tons, all
depending upon the season and care
given the beets. Manager Goetz will not
request farmers to raise beets the CON-
ing season as a favor, but with those who
have success In the last two seasons,
contracts at 81 per ton will be made, if
the farmers so desire. No person will be
contracted with who has not lived up to
past contracts. This is probably the
only business way to conduct matters in
this valley, says the Eddy Current.

JAPAN WILL NOT INTERFERE.

San Francisco, Dec. 16 The steamship
Doric, which arrived from Japan this
morning, brought the following news:
1t is reported that as the cabinet found
an absolute protest against Hawaiian an
nexation was of no avail, it concluded it
to be advisable to yield the point, and
while not objecting to annexation itself,
to make an effort to ensure protection
for Japanese interests. The United States
government will be asked to guarantee
that the annexation of Hawaii shall not
interfere with the advantage hitherto
possessed by Japan in those islands. This
will constitute the scope of Japan's
policy, even should congress approve the
annexation treaty.

In the House.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Leading Demo-
cratic members of the house of represen-
tatives say no aggressive action is an.
ticlpated to carry out the declarations of
the recent Democratic house caucus on
Onba, finance and bankruptcy. The eau
Gus action will be allowed to stand as a
showing of the policy of the minority.
ALL the parliamentarians on the Demo
cratic side concede it to be impossible
for the minority to force an issue on Gu
ba. They are not hopeful of giving any
expression to the caucus action on
finance. The majority will doubtless
bring forward financial measures on the
lines suggested by the president and Seq
retary Gage, and the Democratic caucus
policy will be given effect by casting
solid Democracy vote, numbering 1875,
against thess measures. On the bank
rnptcy question it is expected the mi
nority will frame q bankruptcy bill cal
culated to meet the oaucus declaration
for "wise and just" measure of the
character.

Occurred on Goose Island, Near New
Castle, Friday Morning.
SCHOONER ANNIE RUSSELL SUNK
The Steward, Joseph Cram
field, Killed. Af-l.
CAPT. HENDRlxON SLIGHTLY HURT

A collision occurred Friday morning
al 3 05 O'Clock on tue Delaware River
opposite Goose Island, near New Castle,
in which Joseph Cramtield, aged ~
years, and employed as a steward on the
schooner Annie l.. Russell, was killed.
The deceased was from Milford and was
unmarried. The schooner was sunk.
The exact cause OF the accident 10 un
known, but il is believed 10 have been
tine result of an accident TO the steering
apparatus OF the barge Schuylkill. The
large tug Tamaqua, owned by the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Co..
with the barges Miriam, Henry Clay
and Schulykill in tow was proceeding
up the river the tug and the two first
named barges cleared tho schooner
Annie Russell, which was also sailing up
the river. The barge Schuylkill sheered
of anu the bow struck the stern of the
schooner. slowing in the small boat and
the stern of the vessel.
Capt. +. V. Hendrixon, the captain
of the schooner was on deck and First
Mate james Still was at the wbsel.
Seeing that a collision was about 10
occur the captain ran 10 the cabin and
called all hands up. They all appeared
to respond. but after tho excitement
was over they failed to find the steward.
When the collision occurred word
was passed from one vessel to another
and as soon as Capt Thomas Ritson OF
the tug Iamaqua learned Of the accident
he cut loose his barges and went to the
aid OF the sinking schooner, which was
laden with cord wood for Philadelphia
parties.
A line was thrown to the sinking
vessel and she was towod to Truss
wharf, New Castle, where she was run
as olose in shore as was possible for her
to 60 with tug drawing aB much
water as tho Tamaqua.
Capt. Ritson OF the Tamaqua did
everything possible for the comfort OF
| the unfortunate men and fed tho men
on his vessel and afterwards sent te.e-
| grams to the Port Richmond wharyeH
to his employers asking them to come
at once and adjust matters.
The Russell was built at Milford in
July. 1878, and this was the first acci-
dent that had ever befalIen the vessel OF
| its crew. She was owned by Capt.
Ilendrixon, formerly of Milford, now
OF Philadelphia, and j. E. Holland OF
Milford.
Capt IIendrixon was slightly injured
by fall. the result Of the collision.
II was at first supposed that Steward
| Cramtield was drowned in the hold. but
later it was learned he was killed by
| the shock.
