PAYING OUT GOLD.
ond Taking in the White-Green-
backs Nearly Gone,

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan The dis
bursements OF the treasury this month
have made such inroads on the supply of
greenbacks on hand that the Government
has been compelled to resume paying out
treasury notes at all the sub-treasuries,
and it is likely that its supply of that
form of money will still further decrease.
An interesting feature about the situa-
ton is that while the treasury is paying
out millions of dollars of notes that are
reaeemable again by the Government in
gold, the treasury is receiving only silver
(certi6cates) in payment of customs du-
ties. In other words, while discharging
its own obligations in gold, the Govern
ment is compelled to receive, and is re-
ceiving, only silver for customs duties,
taxes. etc.
HARTFORD, Jan. ALBERT H. Walker
of this city made public last night, by per-
mission of Senator John Sherman, let
ter he received from the Senator early in
Deem Der last, giving tine Senator's views
on the retirement of greenbacks. The let
ter is:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1896.
Albert IT. Wdlter-DEAR SIR: Your kind note
of the 2Stn ult. received. / do not sympathize
with the movement proposed to retire United
States notes from circulation. l believe it is
easy TO maintain a limited amount of these in
circulation without danger or difficulty. The
maintenance in circulation of $246, 000, 900
United States notes supported by reserve of
800, 900, 900 gold not only saves the interest
ON $246. 100000 of debt but is q vast con-
venience 10 the people at large. The best
form of paper money is that which is backed
by the Government and maintained at the
specie standard. The absolute security OF
these notes was never called in question after
the resumption of specie payment in 1879
until the reserve was being trenched upon to
meet the difficulties brought about by what is
known as the Wilson tariff law of 1894. Very
truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

Stolen Funding Bill Papers 10 Be Ia
rcstiadted by the Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan In the
Senate to-day an effort was made by Sher-
man (R.) o. Ohio to have consideration of
the Senate bill fixing a uniform classified
ton and sradingof wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley and rye. Much opposition was devel-
opad to it and the DILL was not taken up.
The House dill for the appointment of
a non partisan commission 10 collect in
formation and to consider and recommend
legislation to meet the problems presented
by labor, agriculture and capital was re-
ported on the calendar and was antagon-
lied by AIdrich (R.) of Rhode Island as
the most chimerical idea ever presented
TO Congress. The morning hour expired
without action being taken on it and the
bill remains on the calendar.
Then the unfinished business - being
the bill to extend the homestead laws to
all lands acquired from Indians was
taken up, and opposed in a long speech
by Plstt RI of Connecticut. 1t was adj
vocated by Stewart (Pop.l OF Nevada, who
characterized the opposition 10 it as "piti-
full higgling." The bill went over without
action.
resolution was offered by Morgan
CD of Alabama, and agreed 10, directing
the Committee on Expenditures in the
executive department to inquire into the
circumstances OF the abstraction Of certain
papers as to Pacific railroad matters from
the files in the Treasury Department as
mentioned in communication from that

KALAMAZOO, MICH, Jan. - The
Daily Telegraph. which is published by E.
n. Dingley, a son of Congressman Dingley,
publishes the following authoritative d is.
patch from Washington to-day: 1t can be
stated definitely that Congressman
Dingley, chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee. has decided not 10 accept q
Cabinet position. He was offered the
riacc of Secretary of the Treasury by
President-elect Mckinley, and given time
10 consider it. Great pressure has been
brought to have him accept it, but he has
definitely decided not 10 take the place,
dis present duties are much more con-
genial to him; furthermore, he fears the
arduous duties of the treasury portfolio
would seriously impair his health.

WILLIS VERY Ill.
His Condition Slightly improyed-H Minister
cooper's Report at Home on
Annexation.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, Dec. 30.--The
many friends of United States Minister
Willis will be panied to hear that he con-
tinues in very critical condition The
attack of pneumonia, from which he suf-
fered in California, has led to other COM
plications. All that skilled physicians
and nurses can do is being uone. 1t is
hoped that he has vitality needfuI to resist
further inroads on his strength. Homo
lulu society misses the social functions
which Minister and Mrs. Willis have made
so pleasant to all residents and visitors.
The condition of Mr.. Willis is improv-
ing, but the change is coming very slowly
indeed. He is by no means able to sit up
and read papers. The Minister cannot
yet receive callers and even at the present
favorable rate of recovery it will be some
time before he will be permitted by his
physicians to do anything st all.
President Dole has issued invitations for
New Years reception and it will be the
event of the day. The Christmas season
was very pleasant.
In an interview published by the Ha-
waiian Star after his return from his re-
cent visit to the United States Minister
Cooper said his conviction is that there
would be determination OF the annexa-
ton question within year, and that he
regarded the prospects for an alliance as
excellent. All of the old friends are still
faithful to the cause and many new ones
have been gained. he cited the Boston
transcripts change and the cordiality and
friendliness of Mayor Quincy OF Boston,
who was the late Walter @. 6resham's
Assistant Secretary OF State. Mr.. Cooper
spoke of the kindly expressions every
where by prominent men. of considera-
ton given the question in Canada, where
he was invited oy a member of the Gov
eminent to visit Ottawa.
Concerning his trip TO Canton he said
President-elect Mckinley gave him a
cordial greeting and long audience, but
he did not express himself on the Ha-
waiian question.

Carlyle was terribly bored by the per sistent optimism of hls friend Emerson. "I thought, " he said, "that would try to cure him, so took him to some of the lowest parts of London and showed him all that was going on there. This done, I turned to him, saying, And moo, man. dye believe in the deevil noo?' Oh. noP he replied. All these people seem to me only parts of the great machine, and on the whole ] think they are doing their work very satisfactorily. Tben," continued the sage, "I took him doun to the hoose O. commons, where they put us under the gallery. There I showed him 'ae chiel getting up after anither and leeing and leeine.
