THE CURRENCY HEARING.
Messrs. Gage and Fairchild Again Be-
fore Mr. WnIker's Committees

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Gage
proceeded to-day with the currency hear
ing before the House committee on bank
ing and currency. To-day's hearing took a
general range with a view to developing
Mr.. Cages views on general financial ques-
lions and his judgme Mt on various measures.
including his own for currency revision.
Chairman Walker. in a series of questions
sought to show that the guaranty required
on the Gage bill and the monetary bill on
unsecured circulation was too great thus
imposing an onerous burden on the banks.
far beyond the losses which experience had
shown should occur. Mr.. Gage said that
the safety fund in his bill was placed at a
point which he regarded safe and if found
too high it could be reduced.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild said that in a step
of this character ii had been deemed best
TO make the guaranty too great rather than
too little.
Mr. Gage stated in this connection his
objection TO the plan of imposing mu-
tual responsibility on ali banks, as proposed
in the Monetary Commission bill. 1t would
be an unfortunate requirement he felt as
is would operate to keep desirable banks
from entering the system and imposing on
themselves a responsibility for outside
banks. The banker a rule. did not want
TO be responsible for losses other than his
own. Whether the guaranty was to be by
a per cent. tax on banks, as he provided
or by a mutual guaranty from all banks.

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Second Installment of MIR. MOrGan's
Speech in Favor of Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Morgan
occupied the attention of the Senate dur
ing the entire time of the executive session
to-day in the presentation of his viws on
the subject of the annexation of the Ha
waiian islands. This was the second INSTALL
ment of the senator's speech and when he
concluded. a few minutes after O'Clock.
he had not then reached the end. He spoke
for about three hours to-day and his speech
was general presentation of the impor-
lance of the islands TO the United States.
He dwelt especially on the military impor-
lance of the islands. quoting General Scho-
field and Captain Mahan at length in sup
port Of his position that the islands were
a natural outpost for the United States and
necessary to the proper protection OF our
Western coast and of our general commerce
in case of war.
Mr. Morgan predicted that if the United
States did not take advantage of the pres
ent opportunity to acquire the islands there
would be war between this country and
some other power within ten weeks. 1t was
not he said, within the bounds of possibili-
ties. in view of the present European COM
petition for territory in Asia that the Ha-
waiian islands should be allowed to re-
main independent for any length of time
AFTER the United States should finally an
nounce their determination not to make
them part of American territory.
Does the senator ION Alabama mean to
say, interrupted Senator Pettigrew, that
the Hawaiian government would voluntarily
seek the protection of some other power
ana thus foregO the great advantage those
islands now enjoy in their reciprocity
rangement with the United States. which
results in our RENTING to them annually
not less than $60O0.000?'
To this question Senator Morgan replied
that the reciprocity treaty had been nego-
tiated for the purpose of giving this coun-
try cheap sugar. He said that it had been
or greater benefit to the United States than
1t had beer to Hawaii because it had ac-
comp1shed its purpose of making cheaper
one OF our great commodities and one of the
necessities of every household. We want
he said. not only the sugar from Hawaii
but cheaper coffee as we'll and that and
many other necessary articles could be
grown on those islands. The senator dis
played number of large maps from which
he contended that the islands were in the
roadway OF commerce between our western
coast and the Orient, and said that all ships
whether laden with the articles of com
merce or the munitions of war; must neces-
sarily pass them in going to and fro be-
tween this country ard the Asiatic coast:
and thus. he said the nation which controls
Hawaii will control the commerce OF the
East In closing he said that failure to an
mex the Islands meant inevitable blOodshed,
and the responsibility for that bloodshed
would rest upon the Senate of the United
States for it's failure to perform its duty
at this critical hour in the history of the
two countries.

ing to himself the truism about TAX
ing care of the pennies and the pounds

scheme for separating the people
from their pennies. He advertised in
a great many papers and asked the
public, or those members of it that
read Home and Hearthstone ard other
literary and periodical gems, to send
him the small sum of $110 and he
would give .he m work at making MeXi-
can pictures. The $110 was to be sent
on only for the purpose of defraying
the expense to which the philanshropiSt
was put in sending out the instructions
for making the pictures, and the suck
ers were assured that once they had
mastered the process mere would be
a perpetual bar to the approach of the
wolf to the door, and that the time
might come when the lap of luxury
would be their habitual resting place.
The United States authorities dis
covered MI. Walkers game some
months ago. The notice of the au
thorities had been attracted by the
tact that two gentlemen of different
names, but the same initials, were try
ing to instruct the public in the MeXi
can picture game. One of the names
was Walker and the other w. H. King
ston. They made inquiry, and one
morning, about two months ago, they
swooped dowr. on Mr.. Walker and pull
ed him out Of the lap of luxury and
put him in the common Jail. A federal
grand jury sal on Mr.. Walker and in
iicted him for using the United States
nails for fraudulent purposes. He was
held in $4,000 and gave bail. Then he
jumped his bail. The officers of the
federal government have been looking
after him for some time and he was
captured IL Minneapolis yesterday,
after a long chase. The arrest was
made by the Minneapolis police on in
structions from the federal attorney OF
.he Eastern district of Pennsylvania.
The man admitted his identity and was
brought over 10 S..Paul yesterday q ter-
noon and taken before United States
Commissioner Spencer. He was at once
ordered taken back to Philadelphia.
