SENATE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO
HAVE ONE DRAWN.

1T WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF ALL
PROPOSED MEASURES.
General Gary Cautions
Against Too High an Interest
Rate-SuEGests 2 Per Cent
He Wants Large
Discretion.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The senate COM
mittee on posto1iices and postroads to-day
had under consideration the advisability of
establishing the scheme of postal savings
banks in the United States. The discussion
was general and the only conclusion reach
ed was that Senators Mason and Butler
should prepare bill which can be used
as a base for future deliberations. This
was done because of the fact that there
were a large number of measures before
the committee. all looking to the same end.
1t is intended that the bill to be prepared
by Messrs. Mason and Butler shall sup
plant all these, and they were requested to
have it in shape to be taken up at the
next meeting, to be held week hence.
communication was read from Post
master General Gary making suggestions
regarding the details of the legislation pro-
posed Among other provisions urged by
him was one giving largest possible dis
cretlon TO the postmaster general in put
tlns the new system into operation. Mr..
Gary stated that, in his opinion, the ten
dency is to make the interest rate too high.
The downward tendency Of interest rate
is unmistakable.'' he said. He thought a
rate too low preferable to one too high. and
suggested per cent as prudent and rea-
sonable rate. He also suggested the impor-
tance OF providing certain postotticeS or
sub-treasuries as repositories for the post
Office funds, because of the impracticability
of making repayments from Washington
in case all the repositories should be To-
Gated in Washington.

JUDGES STILL UNNAMED.
The Expected Oklahoma Judicial Ap-
pOintments Did Not MatcriaI-
fze Yesterday.

Washington. Jan. 26.-(Special) The
friends of the candidates for the Okla
homa judicial appointments are guessing
to-day as they never guessed before. The
president. late yesterday afternoon, sent
for the papers of all the applicants, but
returned them TO the department of jus
tIce this morning without giving any intf-
nation whether he had examined them or
decided to postpone the appointments for
another indefinite period. II was thought
the president had selected the men and
day. but no nominations for Oklahoma
as to the presidents immediate intentions.
The fact that he sent for the papers war
rants the conclusion that he was ready TO
make the selection. and 1t is regarded as
quite probable that the appointment pa
pers of the future judges of the territory
will be made out at the White House to-
night, and that their names will be an
nounced tomorrow. but there is, at the
same time. considerable anxiety lest the
president intends to postpone the matter
for some time longer
The urgency of these appointments Is be-
coming more and more apparent The
terms of three of the judges have expired
and that of Judge N"Atee expires Feb

sors would be appointed soon. all tho
Judges have adjourned court without fix

Under the terms of its concession from

be submitted TO congress with view to
getting favorable action without delay upon

FREE DIsPENsARIES EVILS.
Reports Seem to Justify Bitter Thing.
That Have Been Said Against
Them.

New York. Jan. 2G.-All the bitter things
that the doctors have been saying against
free dspensaries seem more than justified
by the annual report of the state board
of charities. just filed. Here are some pas
sages culled from an advance copy of the
boards annual report which was submitted
to the legislature at Albany tonight:
IN the borough of Manhattan there are
siXty-six or more dispensaries. and from
fifty-seven of these the board has received
reports, for the last year; These reports
show 1Oi3,42S cases treated and 1874 $50
prescriptions furnished. an average of 1895
cases and 29.33I3 prescriptions to each dis
pensary. Making use of these same aver
ages for the nine dispensaries whose re-
ports are not yet filed indicates the treat
ment of I.a0s.173 cases and the furnishing
of l,93S.63I prescriptions in this single bor-
ouSh during the period of one year
Fortunately in no other part of the state
Is there any such like abuse in dispensing
medical charity. That this is wrongful
state of affairs and produces an unfair COM
petition with physicians. who, unlike the
dispensaries. are not partially supported by
charitable donations, admits of no question.
That it is also extremely pauperiZing in its
tendencies is equally true
