Postmaster General Gary Stands for Party
Loyalty.
officials Here Greatly Interested in
Chances for Harmony.

Now that the Ohio situation has cleared
itself, the attention of officials here, and
especially Of those closely connected with
the administration, is directed toward
Maryland, where the senatorial situation
in many Of it's characteristics runs on par
allel lines to the one which has Just been
ended by Mr.. Hanna's election. In Mary
land eleven republican members of the
legislature, by refusing to go into a caucus
ard by affiliation with the democratic mi
rority, succeeded in organizing the house
IN opposition to the regular republican eau
GUS These same eleven men have an
hounced their refusal to go into a senato-
rial caucus, and the general public has
necessarily felt some alarm that again by
aff1liation with the democratic minority
sc me untried republican or even some
democrat might be elected TO the Senate as
the successor of Senator German.
lr official circles here however. the feel
ing Is strong mat the members Of the lesis-
iature from Baltimore will not carry their
,% noit 50 Iai as 10 Stay out of a caucus on
tne senatorial question when the nronsr
lIne comes to hold such a caucus
several ballots may be taken on the sem
atorship before caucus is held. but that

OF the administration here; but, whether If

TO ISSUE GOLD CURRENCY NOTES.
Sir james Wcstland Submits n Pro-
posuI to IRdia's Council.

CALCUTTA, January 14.-Sir James
Westland the finance minister of the coUn-
Gil, introduced q bill today providing for
the issue of currency notes in India against
sold. Mr.. Arthur, the paid secretary of
state in London, in behalf of the banks
and chambers of commerce, indorsed the
measure.
The finance minister said the Indian
money market was experiencing period
OF extreme stringency. The local resources,
he added We're unable to supply the de-
lnands of trade. The scarcity. he eX-
I.lained, due to the banks remittins
their capital home and keeping as little as
possible in India. This policy was adopted
be fore the legislation of 1895, and was not
in consequence of that legislation. But
Will" they werc advancing toward the at
tdin,nent of Il 1Gl. rupee, this success mill
tated against the transfer OF sterling cap
ital to India in exchange. The banks must
operate upon commercial principles, and
10 blame was attached to them.
Sir james Westland denied the allega-
ton that the government was holding
money in order to StarVe commerce and
force up exchange; but the recent demands
on the government had been SO heavy that
it had been obliged to ask the secretary Of
state to intssrmit the drawings The
amount hand was ample to assure the
coEvertibthty of the Indian notes. There
fore there was no risk from a currency
point of view.
In conclusion the finance minister said:
The secretary Cf state will draw on the
treasury if il is requisite to the full extent
10 which funds are available. But if the
demand continues beyond that point, he
will. in issuing Geographic transfers. Set
apart the gold received and transmit it to
this country.

Sc,niEoIes VIII Probably AvcnSc
Lynci.inG of Their hinsmen.

EARLBORO', /. T., January H--Excite
ment is still intense here over the recent
burning at the stake of two Seminole In
dians and the subsequent fear of an Indian
uprising.
United States Commissioner Walter Jones
is holding court at Wewolla, and the depu-
ties Of the court arc busy issuing SUBJ
pocnas and warrants in ende2Vor to
bring the lyncners to justice. AS no at
tempt was made by the lynchers to hide
tieir Identity, it is probable that the lead
ers Will be arrested by the United States
authorities. They only be tried on
the charge of kidnapping and taking the
murdercrs by force from the Seminole
nation.
The killing of the Indians comes under
Oklahoma jurisdiction. The Indians are
sullen. White men who have lived with
them for years say that general out
break will not occur but there is great
danger that the Indians will avenge them
selves by killing, one by one, the leaders
of the mob.
