on banking aud currency today.
Eckels expressed the opinion TINT the
ouly remeJy for the exlating financial
trouble was complete reviRion OF the
banking system which would amount
to almost new system. Toe discus.
sion was an informal one in which all
the members took part. EckelA thought
no more gold for redemption purposes
would be needed under q banking
system than now. The only use for
metallic money was for redemption
purposee. Representative Newlsnds
OF Nevada, h. principal representa-
tive OF Tree silver on tho committee
asked many questions. In response,
Eckels said the countries which had
the best developed systems OF credit
were England, the UUited States,
France and Germany. the banks did
mol need such large reserves go much
to protect their currency as their
deposits. Russia had bsen bindered
In It's endeavors to adopt standard,
Eckels said, by adverse business con.
uitlons and heavy taxation. The
oharacteristics Of The Russian people
were such that more gold was required
for redemption than in countries
where the people were more used to
to banking methods.

Death While In Jail.

A fire In the jail at Mercur yester.
day morning, resulted in the
burning to death OF Martin E.au,
man about twenty-five years of age, OF
that place. 1t appears that the young
man had been drinking during the
night and towards morning became
very quarrelsome, and was locked up
in the jail. About two hours later the
jail was discovered to be on fire and
before the unfortunate man could be-
rescued his body was burned to a crisp,
and II was found necessary 10 place it
in blanket In order TO remove iI to
the unueriaket's.
The origin OF the fire is unknown, hut
one theory is that the stove-pipe set
fire to the ceiling. as 1t passes
through, without any protection. The
family OF the young man are old resi-
dents OF Mereur and keep boarding
house there.
