REFORM IN FINANCES.
Report OF the Committee on Banking
Laws.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The national
board of trade today adopted the report
of the committee on banking laws. 1t
was the opinion of the committee that
there should be established consistent
and deliberately planned financial sys-
tenn.
The plan presented was briefly as
follows:
"First-Gold coin shall remain
standard money.
"SecOnd-Steps shall he taken to re-
tire all United States notes in such a
way as not to disturb business rela-
tions. National banks be allowed to
issue currency to the par value of their
bonds, the tax on the circulation shall
be reduced and the banks be allowed to
issue currency based on their assets,
under such national supervision and
restrictions as will make it safe, elias
tic and redeemable in gold at the bank
of issue and at the city of New York.
"Third-Such banks of issue, with a
capital of $50, 900 or more shall be au-
thorized to be established in towns and
villages of less than 5000 population. ("
The committee on the subject of a
monetary commission, made a report in
which congress is asked to create a
commission to consist of eleven persons
appointed by the president, two Of
whom shall be selected from the senate
committee on finance and two from the
house banking and currency committee.
Of the other seven members, two
shall be bankers of recognized expert
ence and ability, two agriculturists of
prominence and ability, two merchants
or manufacturers of standing, the re-
naming member to be elected on ac-
count of recognized ability and learning
in the science OF political economy. In
no event shall more than six members
be of the same political party.
1t shall be the duty of this commits
sion to enter upon thorough and COM
prehensive consideration of the bank
ing affairs of the United States and the
laws relating thereto. On or before
January |, 1898, they shall make a
concise and exact report.
The commission shall frame a bill
to carry their recommendation into
effect. In case congress, for any rea-
son, fails to cause the appointment of
this commission the board shall ap-
prove the alternative plan of the In
dlanapolis convention to appoint such a
commission itself.

As Told by Officials.

particulars were given out by the
Southern Pacific officials here:
Train No. 10, north-bound Oregon
express, was held up last night at Shady
point by two or three men, two miles
south of Roseburg. The express car
was detached from the train by the
robbers, and the door blown open with
dynamite. The two smaller safes in
the Car were then blown open and
looted, though it is not thought the
robbers secured much.
The express car then took fire. The
conductor and trainmen worked hard
to save it after the robbers had gone,
but the flames had too good start, and
the car and contents were destroyed.
The train was ON time at Shady
point, where Engineer Morris saw a
man at the side of the track, waving a
flag.
He slowed up for the signal and just
as he brought the train to a stop,
man armed with two revolvers came
over the back of the car and covered
him. At the same time, another
armed man, who was the man who had
tagged him, appeared at the side of the
cab, and, presenting a revolver at him,
ordered him not to attempt to move the
train, but to come down at once and 20
with them to the express car. The
fireman in the meantime had got down
on the other side.
The two robbers and the engineer
then went to the express car, where the
robbers ordered the express messenger
to open the door. This the messenger
refused to do.
The robbers then uncoupled the OK.
press car, returned to the engine and
kicked the train back, leaving the ex-
press car separated.
In the meantime, the express mes
senger had seized the opportunity to
step out of the car.
After breaking the train the robbers
returned to the express car, and, with
heavy charges of dynamite, the detona-
tlons OF which were heard at Roseburp.
blew the door open. Entering the car,
they attacked the two smaller safes
which they succeeded in entering. The
messenger thought the robbers did not
succeed in getting into the big safe,
and consequently they could not have
secured much. The mail car was
also visited by the robbers, and it is
believed some registered mail was
taken. But they did not pay much at.
tention to the mail car.
Thee explosions set fire to the express
car, and when the robbers drew off. il
was mass of flames. The train crew
worked liked trojans, but were unable
to save it, and the car and contents
were almost totally destroyed.
Superintendent Fields, who was in
Roseburg at the time, took special
engine and went to the wrecked train
as soon as he heard of the robbery.
The passengers were considerable
shaken up, and some of them frighten.
ed, but no one was injured. The hold.
up will make the train from. eight To
ten hours late in getting into Portland,
An imperfect description of one of
the robbers was secured 1t is nre.

DOORS WERE CLOSED,
The Open Session o the Senate Was
Very Brief.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The open ses-
sion of the senate was comparatively
brief today, as more than half the day
was spent behind closed doors. During
the open session, the bill for an inter-
national monetary conference was de-
bated, Chandler speaking in favor of it,
and Stewart against. Chandler's speech
was carefully prepared, and was in the
nature of statement of the attitude of
theARepublican side of the chamber on
the bill. Stewart, although criticising
the commission as futile, stated that he
would not oppose the measure. 1t is
expected vote will be reached Mon
day although Pettigrew announced a
speech which may lead to further delay.
The Nicaragua canal and the bank
ruptcy bills were before the senate for
a brief time, but no progress was made
on either. Early in the day, lively
debate occurred over Aliens resolution
questioning the president IS right to fore
close against the Pacific railroads. The
resolution went over for a speech by
Thurston Monday.
