fusal to Hear silver Men.
Washington, Jan. 26.-The house com
mittee on banking and currency met
to-day. Considerable interest attached
to the meeting in view of the recent ex-
tended hearings, and of the present
monetary meeting at Indianapolis. AT
the outset Mr.. johnson of Indiana, who
is regarded as favorable to the none
tary commission bill, secured the adop
tion of a resolution for a statement
fro meach member as to his position
on the general question OF a revision of
the currency.
Mr.. Brosius of Pennsylvania was the
first one called upon and he stated that
he was not ready to define his views on
so broad a proposition. AS the inquiry
promised to lead to some differences Mr.
johnson withdrew the motion with
view to having the republican MEM
bers canvass the subject among them
selves later In behalf Of the minority,
Mr.. Cox of Tennessee moved that the
official proceedings embrace the appli-
cation for hearing of President War
ner of the bimetallic union, and Chair

Senate Committee Considers Advisabllity
of Establishing the System.
Washington, JAN 26.-The senate
committee on postoffices and postroads
to-day had under consideration the ad-
visibility of establishing the system of
postal savings banks in the United
States. The discussion was general and
the only conclusion was that Senators
Mason and Butler should prepare a bill
which could be used as a basis for fu-
ture deliberations. They were request
ed to have it in shape to be taken up
at the next meeting a week hence.
A communication was read from
Postmaster General Gary making sug-
gestions regarding the system proposed
Mr.. Gary stated that in his opinion the
tendency was to make the interest rate
too high. HThe downward tendency of
the interest rate is unmistakable, he
said. He thought rate too low pref
cradle to one too high and suggested 2
per cent. as a prudent and reasonable
rate. He also suggested the Importance
of designation of certain postoffices or
sub-treasuries as repositories for the
postoffice funds. because of the imprac-
ticability of acknowledging re-payments
from Washington.

EASTERN B1RDS DEFEATED.
Big Main Successfully Held-Ayoided the
Humane Society,


Chicago, Jan. 26.-Chicago birds de-
feated the eastern representatives yes
terday in one of the greatest cooking
mains ever held in the west. The
cocks We're furnished by John Mackin
of this city and Frank Casey of Black
stone, Mass. The latter was accompa-
MED by about a dozen sporting men
from Boston, who were anxious to back
his birds. The main was for $4,000 and
large amounts were Wagered upon each
battle On account of threatened pros
ecution by the Humane society the bat
ties We're fought at Antioch, ILL.,, about
forty miles from this city. Twenty
one birds were shown by each side. The
eastern contingent was well supplied
with money and bet the western men
to standstill, both on the main and
each battle. Casey won the first four
without much trouble. Mackin fought
three imported birds. He then changed
his tactics, introducing his own birds,
and won six straight fights. Casey is
said never to have lost main before.
The eastern men lost between $1,000 and
$4,000 on the result. Although the bat
tie was fought yesterday, the party did
not return until to-day. 1t was caught
in the blizzard five miles from a rail-
road station. Casey and his friends
are anxious to arrange for return
main in the east and have secured a
partial promise.

Asa0o !lust NC AIuWSrcu
Boston, Jan. 26.-More than forty CO.
operative banks of this state We're rep
resented to-day at the annual meeting
OF the Massachusetts Cooperative
bank league held here. Among the
matters discussed were these: What
legislation, if any. is needed to perfect
the system; to what extent, if at ALL
has the lowering rate of interest in the
general market, affected cooperative
banks Would the establishment Of
postal savings banks by the govern
ment affect cooperative banks, and if
so, in what way? AS to the question of
reduced interest the opinion was unani-
nous that the rate must be reduced
from present figures, ranging from 6
per cent. downward to per cent. The
matter of postal savings banks was
laid on the table. The question of the
best method of auditing books was dis
cussed, and finally put aside without
definite action.
