CURRENCY PLANS
The Old Suffolk System Is to Be
Rehahilitated

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Chairman
Walker Of the banking and currency
committee of the house has called a
meeting of the committee for Wednes-
day to make arrangements for the hear
ing to be accorded the members of the
monetary commission on January IL.
Mr.. Walker is very sanguine that the
committee will report bill embodying
the features Of the old Suffolk system to
the house. I'VE will report a BILL" said
he today, (which will meet not tenta-
lively but finally the objections to the
present national banking act. The bill
will not disturb the greenbacks, the
silver coinage nor the gold coinage, but
1t will absolutely relieve the treasury of
the redemption Of any form of paper or
coin certificates. 1t will make the pro-
vision that all other progressive coun-
tries except ours make, and keeps all
forms of money at par. Guarantees will
be furnished for all paper money pre-
cisely as is now furnishedsby the bond
security held by the government. It
will be old, sound state banking system
nationalized-the Suffolk system, as it
is called.
Mr.. Cox of Tennessee, the leading mi
nority member of the banking and cur
rency committee, does not believe that
the committee will ever unite on bill.

Almost Asphyxiated

OAKLAND, Jan. 3.--Dr. e. H. Wool
sey had narrow escape from death by
asphyxiation in his residence at 1866
Jackson street last night. He turned
off the gas in his bedroom, but there was
defect in the valve, and the gas con-
tinped to flow. Shortly afterward the
odor of the gas was detected by DR.. H.
A. L. Ryfkogel. who lives in DR.. Wool
sey's house. and he made an investiga-
tion. The fumes were readily traced to
the room where DR.. Woolsey was slum-
bering, and In a moment DIR. Ryfkosel
was ct work resuscitating his friend.
The time had been 50 short between DR..
Woolsey's retiring and the discovery
that he was soon out Of danger, though
very sick from the effects Of the gas.

1t now transpires that the Democratic

for what took place today, and for the
defeat Of Hanna. Meantime Mr.. Kurtz

rangements for Jackson day.
When this fact was no longer con-

here until last Friday evening, and was
in Washington until the holiday recess
He heard complaints about his own alb
sence and about Understanding the or
ganization of the opposition in a very
good d-natured manner, and insisted that
he would yet win out.
The superior organization of the op-
position was shown in the combine Sc
curing today nearly all of the doubtful
votes. The opposition has had an army
of workers here for week, with de-
tachments kept close to each one of the
doubtful Republicans.
The opposition marched to the state
house in line like troops, and had worked
for weeks like soldiers under orders.
They had been doing picket duty, skir-
mishing and walking guard lines, and
they had their triumphal march in the
most unusual manner, because of the
confidence in their organization. The
wives and daughters Of the managers of
the combine secured choice seats in ad-
vance in the legislative halls, awaiting
the arrival of the anti-H Hanna hosts, and
the most elaborate floral designs were
on hand for the occasion.
The feeling of the Republicans who
voted for their caucus nominees is open
ly expressed against Governor Bushnell
more than against Kurtz or other Re-
publicans who combined with the Dem
ocrats.
The State Journal, the Republican or
gan of Central Ohio, prints large pic
ture of the governor with heavy black
border.
Some Republican clubs have cancelled
their engagement of quarters here for
the inauguration exercises next Monday,
and many protests are being received at
the state house.
Col. T. w. Moore of Marietta, another
appointee of Governor Bushnell, today
resigned as trustee of the state insane

1.-THE great statesman replied that
China was anxious that the Western
people should understand thoroughly
matters as they are. His Excellency's s
views are given herewith in the follow

1.-The forcible occupation of Kiao
Chau by Germany is direct violation
of existing treaties and Of international
law.
"'The pretext made for this act Of war
was the murder Of two missionaries by
robbers in the interior Of the province
of Shang Tung. The Chinese govern
ment offered immediate and full redress
for this utrage-punishment Of the
criminals, dismissal of the local officials
and a large compensation for all losses.
"'Anxious to avoid hostile acts, the
Chinese troops were withdrawn from
Kiao Chau when the Germans landed
and despite strong public feeling pre-
vailing throughout the country for the
defense of the Chinese territory against
aggression, my government has not sent
reinforcements to Kiao Chau.
" Outlaws exist in China, as well as
In all countries. Neither treaties, law
nor religion can entirely suppress and
punish the criminals. There are places
in every country where lawlessness
abounds and to such place in Shang
Tung the German missionaries deter
mined to go, knowing that the inhabi-
tants themselves were often victims Of
these bandits.
UNFORTUNATELY China has not yet re-
covered from the effects of. the late war
and our country requires period of
peace to carry out the wcrk of reform
lately begun.
