A TURBULENT SESSION.
Rule or RUM Policy, Mr.. johnson Said
to Mr.. Walker.

Washington, Feb, 1.-The house corn
mittee on banking and currency held a
turbulent session today over the pending
propositions for currency revision. Ear
ly in the meeting Mr.. Johnson Crep. Ind
had heated colloquy with Chairman
Walker, in the course of which Mr..
Johnson declared that the chairman
was pursuing a rule or ruin" policy as
to the line of currency action which the
committee should take. Mr. Walker re-
sented this, saying he would regard Mr..
Johnson's course as personal if it was
persisted in.
Mr.. Hill OF Connecticut moved to take
up the measure embodying the presi-
dents recommendations as to three spe-
cif1c changes in the banking laws. This
agitation met warm opposition from Mr..
Johnson, who said action of this limited
character would be antagonistlc to larg-
er measures of currency revision now
pending before the committee. In vehe-
ment tones he questioned the good
faith of those who were urging a limited
measure Of revision, saying that they
We're too much concerned in the annexa-
ton of Hawaii to give sincere support to
the full accomplishments Of financial re-
form. With much feeling and emphasis
Mr.. Johnson expressed his regret thaI
the president had not earnestly urged the
fullest measure of currency revision, in
stead of the limited plan now brought
before the committee Owing to the feel.
ing aroused on the subject, final action
was not taken on the motion to proceed
with the presidents recommendation
and the republican members determined
to take up this and other subjects later
in the day, when the democratic mem
bers were not present. Without objec.
ton the committee determined to repor

RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
AlI Passenger Trains Running, But None
of Them Very Close to Schedule.

Passenger traffic has been generally
resumed on all the railroads entering
and leaving the city although the ar
rival and departure of trains is seldom
according to schedule time. All roads
are now open to their terminal points.
and some of them have commenced to
SEND out freight. The trains from the
west on the Boston and Albany are run
nlllg from a few minutes to three hours
behind time, and some of those from
Boston are two hours late. The run from
Boston to this city took on an average
an hour and three-quarters yesterday,
making more than 30 minutes late on
running time. Many Of the trains from
Boston were not sent out on schedule
time, the officials holding them in many
cases until full hour after regular
time. The road employed an extra force
of 200 men, who were out all day with
shoVels and cleared a way for the
freight trains Some freight was moved
during the day, but it will be the last of
the week before the freight traffic will
be entirely resumed.
The Fftchburg road has maintained
the same steady service supplied Tues
day, and is running it's trains very close
to schedule time. Connections for the
west are made at Gardner, and for nor
theIn points at Winchendon.
The New England road has opened
connections between this city and Nor
witch and New London, and by today ex-
poets to establish the regular train SER
vice. Trains on this road entered the
Union station on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford tracks from the
South Worcester station, owing to the
fact that the New England track be-
tween the two stations was not cleared.
The B. and A. road in clearing its tracks
piled some of the snow on the New Eng
land and the ~ Y, n. II. & H. tracks,
discommoding these roads to some eX-
tent. The latter road has re-established
connections with Providence but trains
are running behind time. No train on
the line has been able to hold to sched-
ule time, and most of them are as much
as two hours late.
The Boston and Maine line sent out
trains as usual during the day, but the
arrivals were none of them on time.
All of the roads have had large forces
at work all day yesterday and much of
last night, and by this afternoon will
generally be able to maintain schedule
time.
The owl train which usually leaves
Boston at II p. m was an hour late in
getting to this city this morning. 1t
did not leave Boston until 11.S0 on ac
count of delays in the mail at that end
of the route, and it lost time continually
on its way to this city, finally getting
here at 1.20 this morning.

at feels and acts like another storm"
This was a common remark upon the
street Wednesday evening. The sky
was overcast and there was that pecu-
liar sharp feeling in the atmosphere
which is generally the forerunner of
snow.
The weather indications, however, as
received at the Spy office early this
morning, do not indicate that much
more snow is to be expected. For
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
those who tell us what the weather is
going to be, say light SHOWS, clearing
Thursday afternoon" while for the rest
of the New England states, fair and
somewhat warmer weather is predicted.
Worcester does not want amy more
snow There is enough of 1t here al
ready. Even the small boy, who gem
orally heralds a snow storm with de-
light, is satisfied, for there is big
enough stock of snow on hand to fur
nish him with coasting and snow houses
for the rest of the winter.
The effects of Tuesdays storm are
rapidly passing away The street car
service is fast resuming It's normal con-
dttion, and trains Tuesday that were
hours and hours behind scheduled time
are now pulling into the Union station
only a few minutes late. There is
crush of freight at all of the local
freight depots that will require two or
three days work to relieve. Telegraph
and telephone lines are working once
again.
The schools reopened again Wednes-
day morning, and for the most part the
children had little difficulty in getting
to and from the school houses. In some
of the outlying districts, however, only
the main thoroughfare has been opened

CAPT. RAYS REPORT.
Provisional Military Government Required
in the Yukon Country.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Gen. Merriam,
commanding the department of Column
bia, today wired the acting secretary
of war the following points from the
reports of Capt. Ray:
Strongly recommends restrictions of
immigration into that country this
year; says no one should be allowed to,
enter without two years supply of
food Recommends military post at
mouth of Tanana, with light draft high
power steamboat. to patrol the Yukon
with attachments of troops; also over
land route from Cook or Vaides inlet to
mouth of Tanana. He seized all sup
plies at Fort Yukon, Oct 50, to prevent
capture by armed mob of about so men.
Says mob was influenced by deliberate
robbery and not by hunger. Nothing
but provisional military government

THE BIG WIRE TRUST.
Rise in Prices Said to Denote its Ex-
istence.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 2.-The Leader says;
The American Steel and Wire Company
in other words the consolidation of the
entire American wire industry-seems to
be an accomplished fact. One of the
strongest indications IN support of the
conclusions is a sudden and marked stiff
fleming in the price of wire and nails
which has come generally this week. The
price was put up on Monday over 81 a ton
beyond what it was previous to the re-
cent temporary drop, and as much as S.
81 or 50 a ton over some prices for wire
which were reported as having been made
last week. Now the price announced Is
81 80 for wire and 81 SO for nails, and an
other advance of five cents a hundred
pounds is to be made in March
Whether it be really true or not that all
formalites In the formation of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company have been
completed, that consummation is certainly
so near at hand that the end has practi-
cally come, and the biggest Undertaking
that the iron industry of the world has
ever witnessed may be said to be success
fully completed. This huge concern, with
a capitalization of $S7, 100000, all repre-
senting property, owns all the establish
ments in The country with which wire rod
mills are connected. 1t Is no mere agree
ment, pool or trust, but an absolute alb
sorption of the property of the, concerns
consolidated and the former owners, who
now hold stock. cannot dissolve the COM
bination by any withdrawal.

1t Will be seen that Worcester pays
$500 for drawing. much more than any
other city in the list, not excepting
Providence and the Minnesota cities,
which are much larger. Worcester pays
$4,000 for music, which is more than any
other city in the list but Providence. In
manual training, Worcester pays $4,000,
double the amount paid by any one OF
the cities. The total amount paid is
S16,550. which is more than double the
average of the other cities in the list.
The members who are at the bottom
of the movement argue that Worcester
is paying too much in this way. They
want the supervisors of music and
drawing to supervise and be paid for it,
but they do not approve of paying big
salaries to speciaB assistants The re-
port of the committee on drawing and
manual training, to the effect that it
would not be wise to cut the number
of drawing teachers, was a step to pro-
tect this department from cut. Other
recommendation from the various COM
mittees will possibly appear to prevent,
if possible, the use of the pruning knife
in their departments. The attitude of
the board, however, on the matter.
shows that there is strong opposition
to paying so much money for such pur-
poses, and there is every indication that
a strong fight for a general reduction
will be made.
THE PROPOSED EXHIBITION.
The fun recommendation of the COM
mIttee on drawing and manual training
concerning the proposed exhibit in Feb
ruary, will be of interest 1t is as fol-
lows:
The committee on drawing and man
ual training desire to submit the follow
ing report, Recommending
hat IF L.
Of our schools be held the first week in
June, 1898
Secondhand, if permission can be OBJ
tanned, the following rooms in the new
city hall be used for the exhibit: The
aldermanic and common council cham
bers, the teachers reading room at the
south end of the building and the cor
responding room at the north end OF
the building, the room in the rear Of
the aldermanic chamber and the ante
room Of the aldermanic chamber; also
so much of the corridors of the building
as may be required.
Third-That horticultural hall be hired
for the exhibit of the work of the kind
ergartens, manual training and the
drawing connected with it, cooking and
such other work as the comdnitte may
desire to place there.
Fourth-That a general executive COM
mittee of seven be appointed by this
board, with power TO appoint Sub-cOnp-
mittees of principals and teachers. to atA
tend to such details as shall be assigned
them.
F'ifth-That all our regular and special
teachers be instructed to select from the
regular work of their schools the best
work of every pupil under their charge.
and that no special work be prepared for
the exhibit.
SiXth-That a sum not to exceed $500
be appropriated and placed at the dis
posal of this committee to carry out tho
above recommendations
The committee see no reason why the
new city hall may not be used for the
exhibit other than the danger of MARI
ing the walls of the building. and this
is overcome by the plan proposed by
the committee to place all the work up
on tables and frames so arranged that
the walls shall not be damaged.

A PLEA FOR ABSTINENCE.
What President Patton Really Said in His
Sermon.

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 1.-The address
made by President Patton, last Sunday,
upon the subject of temperance, has had
a profound effect upon the students Of
the university. One statement in the
reported account OF the address, how
ever, has been somewhat misunderstood,
and many communications have been
addressed 10 The president, inquiring as
to the Significance of his remarks. He
was reported as saying: Let us have
moderate use of stimulants in any
form" AS matter OF fact, what was
said, with its context, was as follows:
Let US lift III q high standard in re-
spect to the great duty of self-control.
Let US discountenance convivial drink
ing. Let us avoid the habitual use of
stimulants in any form"
President Patton's entire sermon was
an earnest plea for abstinence, and he
is exceedingly anxious that neither his
position nor the position Of the univer-
sity on this question, shall be misunder-
stood
