ter the Christmas holidays. The nomna-
ton was referred TO the committee on
judiciary in to-day's executive session.
but Senator Hoar, chairman of that COM
mittee. stated that he would not ask the
committee to consider the nomination I'M
I'll after the reconVening of the senate in
January
II does not appear that the delay in
considering Mr. AckeHna's nominal on is
due to the opposition that Is reported To
exist against his confirmation so much as
to the fact that the judiciary committee
habitually takes more time Tor the con-
sideration of nominations 10 the supreme
bench than IS exercised in that of any
other nominations. As the senate Will adj

necessary, the present large volume OF
silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third. to do this in such a way as
not to contract the volume of circula-
ton in the hands of the people.
Fourth. to take the initial step to-
wards a system of bank note issues,
without conditional deposit Of public
bonds as security THEREFOR
IF we prosper as a people, the reve-
nue. of the government ought to be
somewhat in advance of its expendi-
lures and the public debt of the United
States gradually reduced and finally ex-
tinguished. Looking at the question
widely, from my best point of knowl-
edge and experience, | feel that II these
could be secured the condition OF the
government in its relation to currency
would be much safer and stronger
than now and that through the opera
ton of national bank note currency
the commercial and industrial interests
of the United States would be greatly
advanced"
After this initial statement 1T was
deemed advisable to read the secretary's
bill in detail and discuss it with the
secretary Cl the treasury.
Mr. Gage said the only purpose of
the bond section was to refund out
standing bonds for low interest bonds
payable in gold. This would not re
duce the gross amount OF the debt. but
II would make saving on interest
which the secretary calculated at $10.-
000, 000 annually Mr.. Gage said he had
excluded from his refunding plan the
bonds issued in 1895, although in his
recommendations to congress these
bonds were enormously included. The
bin would exclude all the bonds issued
under the Cleveland administration.
Mr.. Gage explained In detail the plan

States notes. treasury notes and silver
certificates and the covering of the
latter demand notes for refunding
bonds. He said the purpose of this was
TO accumulate 5000 1000, 900 of the demand
obligations. placing them aside where
they would relieve TO some extent the
demands from the treasury.
Mr.. Brossius asked how the parity of
the metals could be maintained if the
demand obligations We're withdrawn
from circulation and s---cumulased in
the treasury. Mr. Gage said there
would be ample demand notes out
standing beyond the 5000 900 600. Mr..
Brossius asserted that the banks would
be called upon to maintain the parity
and that If they We're unable to do so,
the country would at once be forced To
Il silver basis.
Mr. Gage smilingly remarked that he
did not see the situation in that light.

Mr.. Gage ntimated in response TO in
quiries of Mr. Prince that there were
$3.50, 600, COO of demand obligations out
standing. Technically, the entire $780,
COO, 900 was subject to demand at any
time, and must be met with gold If it
was required. Therefore it was practi-
caily impossible, he urged, that all
these obligations should be presented ut
any one time, or even a small percent
age of them.

Mr. Hit, chairman of the foreign ar

pelagic sealing, which evil resulted in the
killing of 10000 seals annually. And yet

partial slaughter by the absolute slaugh-
ter of the entire seal herds. Was this a
humane proposition from a government
which was urging humanity on osher ma
tons? Mr.. Hit referred to the harbarity
of the practice of killing the defenseless
seal pups. This brought a query from Mr.,
Livingston. democrat, Georgia.
