Our Present Currency is Heter-
OgeneOus in Character.
PETER Also Introduces a Bill
to Improve Banking.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The senate re-
assembled at noon today after the two
weeks holiday recess. The meeting was
without unusual incident, the attend
ance on the floor and in the galleries
being somewhat meagre. In the course
of the chaplain's prayer he invoked a
restoration of our industries and the
return of prosperity"
Mr.. Hoar called attention to Il petit
ton from the Massachusetts historical
society urging that the old ship Con-
stitutiOn be permanently preserved and
placed at the Washington navy yards,
where like Nelson's famous frigate Vic
tory at Portsmouth, Eng, the ship be
used as a naval museum.
Among the bills introduced We're
those by Mr.. PETER of Kansas, ito i'm

The first reference to Cuba was in
two resolutions offered by Mr.. Call.
The first requests the president to
send to the senate in secret, or open
session, as he may deem best, all re-
ports relating to the condemnation to
life imprisonment in chains, by the
Spanish authorities at Havana of San
gully, an American citizen
The second resolution recites the cir
cumstances of the Sanguilly trial and
condemnation and directs the secreta-
ry of state to demand his immedi-
ate release
The resolution went over Mr.. Call
stating that he would make some re-
marks on them.
Mr.. PETER then addressed the senate,
reading from manuscript on his reso-
luton for a national monetary commits
sion.
The resolutions went over, Mr.. Call
the result of the recent election did not
show a majority of voters favorable to
any one monetary policy that a com
mission of five senators be created to
investigate the entire monetary sub
Ject and report within year.
Mr.. PETERS speech dealt largely with
ious kinds of money and the uncertain
ties of the present financial system.

M'CULLAGH LEFT NO WILL.
Estate Valued at $4,000 to be Di-
vided Among Seven Heirs.

ST. Louis, Jan. 5.-Joseph B. AcCul-
lagh,late editor of the Globe-Democrat,
left no will.
His estate, now in the hands of DR..
VIM. c. Richardson, the public admin
istrator. will be divided between seven
sets of heirs, part of whom live in Dub
lin, Ireland.
These heirs consist of Mrs. Rachael
Souter, a sister living in Brooklyn, N.
Y, another sister in Dublin and the
children of five brothers and sisters,
who are dead
John G.. Young and Little Gladys Nc
Cullagh. the adopted daughter of John
w. McCuIlagh. the editors favorite
brother, are the only heirs living in
this city.
The others, as far as their names can
be learned, are VIM. Armstrong, Chi
cago; Sarah Rankin and Fenny Holtz,
children of a sister now deceased who
live in Brooklyn.
A conservative estimate of the value
of the estate is $210, 900. which, divided
among the seven sets of heirs, will give
each about $50, 000
Among the dead editors papers were
found stock in several mining compa-
nies with a face value of $4,000. The
real value, however, is comparatively
little.

ECKERT EXPLAINS TT.
Tells How the Penitentiary Furniture
Contract was Settled.

T. w. Eclxert of the board of directors
of the penitentiary was in the city to-
day. Mr.. Eckert said in regard to the
furniture contract that was let by the
board yesterday:
The dispatches that were sent out
from LeaVenwOrth yesterday in regard
to the matter were misleading. The
facts in the case are these: Last June
we advertised for bidders for convict
labor. c. W. Duff of Arkansas City Of
fered to give so cents a day each for
the labor of one hundred and fifty con-
VictS for the term of six years. The
HelmerS Manufacturing company Of
fered to pay 50 cents for the 75 convicts.
The contract was awarded to Mr.. Duff.
THE HelmerS people imm ediately be-
gan legal proceedings and sought to
restrain the board from entering into a
contract with Duff, charging among
other things that there was coIlusion
between the members of the board and
the bidder. Before the process of the
court was served the board awarded
the contract. When the matter came
UP for final hearing yesterday Mr. Duff
and the Helmers people agreed on a
compromise between themselves by
which Duff assigned his contract to the
Eelmers people on the condition the
board would reduce the number of con-
victs employed to rs, the number which
the Helmers people wanted in the first
place. Before he would listen to any
such agreement between the bidders We
said that the suit would have to be
withdrawn, which was done, the Helm
ers people paying the costs and dis
missing the suit
I'VE then after a consultation with
our engineer and being informed that
we did not have sufficient engines to
furnish power to work more than 75
convicts concluded to ratify the assign
ment on theAconditions named ana on
the Helmers people giving a good bond
we gave them the contract. There was
no compromise by the board whatever
