Nothing was more foreign to my mind.
looked at the matter wholly as an Off
nanded manner Of suggesting 10 Dick
Taylor that he should. In the opinion OF
Mr. Rountree, sign the retrenchment or
dinances.
Now said Mr.. Snead. "as to what
i really said In the Board meeting. II
was this; That q member OF the Com
mittee on Retrenchment and Reform had
loid the Mayor that he ought not TO veto
me ordinances which they were trying TO
get up, because they Uhe committed
were not going to touch the Mayors
salary"
Continuing his remarks. the Clay-War1
Alderman said he regretted that so much
iuss had been raised about this mat
ter which he regarded as insignificant in
the extreme. He said he was glad to
have the opportunity 70 state publicly
that he at no time had any idea that Mr..
kountree approached the Mayor with a
proposition which could be considered i'm
proper. Mr. Snead appeared very sorry
mat Mayor Taylor and Mr. ROuntree lost
their tempers 10 some ey' snt at their
recent conference, and said he trusted that
the matter was at an end.
STILL A STREET TOPIC.
The matter continues to be a topic OF
conversation on the streets and in poiti-
cal circles. The Retrenchment and Re-
form Committee will meet next Thursday
night, when II is supposed the sub-com-
mittee will be ready with its report This
duty. 1t Is the impression, will devolve
upon Mr.. Ebel. who took copious notes at
Fridays conference. If he attempts to
give the entire interview he Will have a
very lengthy report TO make.

PRITCHARD WILL BE ELECTED.
That Is the Deliberate Opinion of
Colonel Harry skinner.

RALEIGH. n. c.. January 16.-The
with Colonel Harry Skinner, the member
of Congress who is here supporting the
candidacy of Senator Pritchard. in which
Colonel Skinner asserts il as his calm
and deliberate judgment that Pritchard
will be elected on the first ballot next
Tuesday. He declares that The Pritchard
Populists are stronger than they were
yesterday, and that there is absolutely no
detection in the Republican ranks.
He claims that there have been four ac-
cessions from the Populist majority
caucus besides State Senator Odom, who
declared in writing to-day his intention
to support Pritchard On the other hand
two Of the boilers are understood to have
returned TO the majority caucus.
Late last night, the majority faction Is
sued a manifesto. from which the fol-
lowing is extracted:
"The majority have exhausted all re-
sources to bring about harmony and an
amicable adjustment of the differences
that exist, but their efforts have been in
vain
Colonel Skinner characterizes this as an
acknowledgment of defeat. 1t is UNDER
stood that Senator Butler hopes 10 bring
about q deadlock by means Of Thomp-
sons candidacy. but the supporters Of
Pritchard say ii Is impossible to do so,
as they have a majority pledged to re-
elect the senator
1t is not generally believed that the
Democrats will support Thompson, though
II is impossible TO get an expression Of
opinion from any Of them. Their
course will remain undecided until
they caucus Monday night; but as 1t does
not appear that Thompson can be elected
bv their votes, it is probable that they
will nominate a Democrat and vote for
him

CURRENCY PROBLEM.
HEARING BEFORE THE noUsn
COMMITTEE ON BANKING.
Mr.. R. A. LANCASTER SPEAKS.
suggestions from y Boston ana .
New York student Of rfnsnce-
Criticism of the indianapolis cea-
vcution.

WASHINGTON. u. c., January 49,
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency gave "A hearing to-day to Il.
A. Lancaster. a banker and broker. Of
Richmond. Va: Gamaliel Bradford. Of
Boston, and r. p. Ferris. ylce-president
of the Bank OF New York, all Of whom
had suggestions to make concerning the
solution Of the currency problem.
Mr.. Lancaster made a brief statement
OF his views, but did not present any
definite plan in the form OF a bill q
change existing law
Mr.. Ferris advocated the passage Of
a BILL which. he explained, was chieny
drawn by himself. and had been intro
duced by Mr.. Mcclellan, OF New York.
Mr.. Ferris said his plan was not new
system, but was amendat tory OF the press
ent MISUNDERSTANDING act. Among othei
features. the Comptroller of the Cur.
rency should be authorized TO issue notes
to banks up TO the par value OF their
bonds. To provide for the redemption
OF the notes issued under this act. the
Secretary of the Treasury should be aus
thorized to create redemption districts
each bank in such districts to select a
bank In the central city of its redemp-
tion district TO act as its redemption
agent. and to be required TO keep with
this redemption agent a deposit equal
to per cent Of its outstanding circu.
lation.
Mr.. Ferris also argued I'm favor OF per-
mitting banks of large capital to estab-
lish branches In the various redemption
districts. for which provision was MACS
in the bill.
Mr. Gamalel Bradford prefaccd his re.
marks by saying that his banking experi-
ence began In 1851, and that he had been
familiar in actual practice with tho Suf-
folk system. and the old State-bank sys-
TEN. For thirty years he had devoted
himself TO the study of the various prob<
lens concerning the national finances.
He asked how the people of the United
States could be blamed for going astray
on the financial question, when the
United States Senate set the example
in insisting upon the free coinage OF
silver, and government bonds were sold,
under the conditions recently existing.
1t would not do, he said, to retire the
greenbacks without providing something
TO take their place. else a panic might
come. and the people would demand that
the retirement be stopped. as had been
done before
Mr.. Bradford criticised the Indianapolis
convention for taking no effective steps
toward tho solution OF the currency ques-
tion. He wanted the Secretary OF the
Treasury to come before Congress and
tell what he wanted In the line of cur
rency legislation. He thought .his was
the only way to make any progress.

comb. was begun to-day In the Criminal
Court. White is a resident Of Richmond,
Va, when he is at home, and Newcomb
is a New Yorker; but the alleged crime
was committed In this city.
The case was TO have been heard by
Judges Wickes and Harlan. without a
jury, but as Judge Harlan was sick and
unable to be present. it was decided by
Judge Wickes TO hear the testimony of
out-of-town witnesses only. and continue
the case until a later day. In his pre-
liminary statement of the case, United
Statcs-Attorney Duffy said that he ex-
pected to prove that Horatio D. Newcomb
was induced by White to come to Balti-
more and put up $1,000 backing for book
at the PimlicO race-track. The book lost
S2S the first day. and the next morning.
White accompanied by Mccormick. the
ticket-writer in the book business. took
the train for Richmond. He went thence
TO Norfolk, and was arrested by Detective
CAN'T at the Imperial Hotel. in that city,
November 10th. The money has not been
recovered. White is supposed TO have
hidden it,
Charles 3. Shanlon, Of New York.
DoOhIldhcI, ellpiOFtu Oh NtWtoiHD, w Hlle
& Co.'S book, testified to Newcomb's say
ing that he had formed a partnership
with White.
Boykin Ford, who was cashier for New
comb. White & Co., testified 10 New
combs saying that White was his part
ner.
The defence contend that White had
possession of the money as Nemcombs
partner, and that White cannot, there

Element, even if he did carry it away.
Counsel for the defence stated before the
trial that he wished all of the evidence
in the case to so in under exception, as
he contended that even If II were true,
it would not show that White had com
mitted any crime, certainly not the crime
charged in the indictment.
Congressman Elicit. of Virginia was
present at the trial. and In consultation
with the attorneys for the defence. Other
friends of Whites came from Virginia TO
attend the trial.

MINISTER WILLIs's DEATH.
Aupointment of His Successor to BE
Left for Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January l6.-
The State Department this morning re-
ceived official news OF the death Of Minis
ter Willis Usually, when a man-of-
war Is available, the remains of a minis
ter dying abroad are placed on board
the warship and brought home in state.
The only United States vessel now In
the harbor of HonolEnl. however. Is the
od-fashioned corvet> Alert, OF 5o0-horse-
mower. with single-screw, and of only
i.2O0-tonnage. 1t would take her at least
fifteen days TO make the voyage from
Honolulu 10 San Francisco, and she has
no accommodations suitable for the COM
fort OF the deceased Minister'S family.
consisting OF his widow and his only son.
The family, IL is understood, prefers that
the body should be transported by the
regular maIl-steamer. which was TO leave
Honoluu the 18th OF January. and Is due
I'm San Francisco January 10th. There
IS no doubt that this course has been
taken.
In view OF the broad divergence OF
view between the President and Con-
gress on the Hawaiian question. II Is
altogether probable that President Cieve-
land will leave the appointment OF Min
lister willis's successor 10 President-elect
