HOUSE CURRENCY POLICY.
1t Does Not Go to the Extent OF a
Retirement of the Treasury
Notes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Re-
publican members of the house COM
nlittee on banking and currency were
in private session today to consider the
bill Of Representative Fowler for a re-
vision of the currency.
Mr.. FOwler's hearing closed today,
and Chairman Walker will follow with
two days exposition Of the measure
bearing his name.
This will close the hearings and the
Republican members of the committee
will. take up the question of formulat-
ing a bill, expressive of the views Of
the committee and embodying such
propositions as n majority of the Re-
publican members may agree upon, the
purpose being first to secure agree
ment among the Republican mem
bers and then have united action be-
fore the full committee. By this
means it is hoped to command the
nine votes which are requisite in the
full committee In order to report
bill.
The strong tendency among the
members is to report the proposition
embodied in the presidents message
to congress, with some enlargement on
The lines of general currency revision,
but not to the extent Of securing a
distinct expression on the gold stand
ard or for the retirement of the green
backs.

SUIT TO RECOVER s6oo,ooO.
Doyle Alleges He Was Buncoed Out
of That Amount in Il Mining
Deal.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, To-, Feb. T.
The annual meeting Of the Portland
Mining company, a Cripple Creek
company, incorporated in Iowa, was
held here today During the meeting
notice of suit for $620,000 was filed on
the officers
The suit is brought by James Doyle,
and the defendant is James Burns,
president of the company. Doyle al
leges that in 1891 he formed a partner
ship with several men to engage in
prospecting, and several mines were
discovered, including Bobtail No 2,
Tidal Wave and Devils Own. Doyle
alleges that Burns, in the name of
the company, sold 10000 shares of
Bobtail stock for $2.04 a share, and
that a Accent dividend has since been
declared. Doyle also alleges that
Burns sold $4,000 shares of the Dew
IFS Own stock, and at the same price
of $2.04 a share. and that dividends
amounting to ST, ,000 nave been paid
on this stock. He asks for his share
Of one-half Of this transaction, and
the same portion of the dividend,
amounting to $434,0Oo total of $780,
600 in all.
The officers of the company treat the
matter lightly. and say the transfers
were made in Doyle's presence and
with his consent.

sPREcKELs' DAUGHTER SUES.
Mrs. Watson Now Wants That MIL
lion She Decided Back to
Her Father.

HONOLULU, Jan. % (via Seattle.
Wash, Feb. O.-Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Watson arrived here on the 22nd inst
on their way around the world. Mrs
Watson is the only daughter of Claus
Spreckels. the sugar king. Her mar
riage with Watson caused family es-
trangemert, which has not been healed
to this day.
Spreckels claimed that his daughter
was ungrateful and in addition
charged Watson with being a fortune
hunter The daughter denied both
charges, and, as a proof of good in
tentions, decided back to her father
property worth a million and a half
dollars. Mrs Watson now claims that
her father has been more than unkino
to her since her marriage. and to even
up things she has decided to invite the
aid of the Hawaiian courts for the re-
covery of million and a half of dol
lars worth of property. which she
decided back to him at the time of her
marriage.
It has long been known in Honolulu
SpreckeIs was not signed by her hus-
band, and the impression has prevailed
that it was invalid on that account.
Her contention will hold good in this
country, it is claimed.
Most of the property involved is sit
uated in Honolulu, and consists Of
business blocks. The income is said to
be 81 600 a month.
Mrs. Watson has, through her attor-
neys here made a demand upon all
the tenants of the buildings to pay
their rents to her legal esantatives
and this will precipitate the litigation.

of his firm. The bookkeeper, he
stated, was offered $50 per month to
give constant information regarding
the shipments, the prices and cost of
manufacturing of Scofield. Shurmer &
Teagle. Mr.. Teagle testified that the
bookkeeper requested time In which
to consider the matter took $25 which
the agent rendered as pay In advance,
and then laid the whole transaction
before his employers.
The witness said that he and his
partner. Mr. Schofield, took the $25,
and, going to the Office Of B. Squire
the secretary Of the Ohio corporation
of the Standard Oil Trust, laid the
money on his desk and told him that
they always stood ready to give him
any information which it was proper
for him to know about the affairs of
their firm.
Still under oath, Mr. Teagle de-
clared that Squire acknowledged to
him that he had caused the agent to
be sent to see the bookkeeper The

SEEMING In the Great Lakes will be one Of

recommendations of this nature will be
made. Delegates are present from Wiscon-

PRUSSIA AGAINST PINE.
New Case of Discrimination Re-
ported by the American Con-
sui Stationed at Bremen

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-American
lumber is now the subject of discrimi-
nation at the hands of the Prussian
government. according to the report
of the United States consul at Bremen,
Mir. keenan,. The consul transmits the
complaints of number of lumber deal
ers against what they regard as dis
eliminating charges against the car
riage of American pitch pine levied by
the Prussian railway. This pitch pine
is listed as class l, at a higher rate
than class 2, on which is listed similar
wood from Sweden, Norway and other
countries.
1t is also said that American pitch
pine is allowed to go at the lower rate
if the officials do not know where it
originates.
The trade is considerable and this
Prussian railroad is the only means by
which the wood can be taken into the
interior, so the discrimination is keen
ly felt, says the consul

Thomas T. Fauntleroy, Of the legal

at the Planters hotel to see Francis
c. Cradle concerning two checks ag-
gregating $4,000, which Cradle had
cashed in Chicago last month by w.

The checks were returned marked
"Worthless," and Mr.. Fauntleroy was
given the matter to SETTLE Cradle, he
said, refused to see him. but sent down
his private secretary. The young man
and Mr.. Fauntleroy had words, which
resulted in the lawyer knocking Gra-
ble's secretary down.
"The young man used loud tones to
denounce me, and said he would run
me out of town. said Mr.. Fauntleroy.

CITY COUNCIL IN CONTEMPT.
| Members Must Purge Themselves
or Hold Their Meetings in
Jail for Time.

INDEPENDENCE, KY, Feb. 7.-Sev-
Ell members of the Covington city
council, the city clerk and the attor-
ney, Henry Hallam, were today held
to be in contempt of court by Judge
Tarvin, and were placed in the custody
of the Sheriff, with the alternative Of
purging themselves of contempt before
the day ends or being committed to
Jail.
The trouble arose from the refusal
OF the council on the advice of their
attorney, to obey an order by the judge
to provide necessary furniture for the
court house in Covington. The court
positively refused to permit any hear
ing from the councilmen. When their
attorney offered to file with the clerk
an answer on behalf of the council to
the effect that they disobeyed the court
order because they did not know that
such authority resided in the court,
the clerk, acting under orders from
Judge Tarvin, refused to accept the
paper.
Counsel then addressed the court,
but was peremptorily benched. Judge
TarVin said the court could brook no
trif1ing with it's order. The council had
no right to question the courts order;
they had only to obey the order. He
ordered they be confined within the
court house and allowed to confer
The judge was less severe with At
torney Hallam, who was dismissed
upon fling a statement that he meant
no disrespect to the court. The coun-
cilmen conferred, but decided to make
no surrender without being allowed a
hearing.
Judge Tarvin late tonight announced
his permission for the seven council
men held for contempt to go their
homes and report to the court again to-
morrow. The inference from the
judges manner was that they must
purge themselves of contempt tomor-
row or go to iail
