CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Probable Action of the Ranking and
Currency Committee.

currency committee.
Washington, jan. 10.-It developed to-
day as a result of careful inquiry among
the members of the House committee on
banking and currency that a majority
was counted on to report without delay
on three propositions introduced in the
House in the Presidents $ message. Inqui-
ries indicate that at least nine OF the
seventeen members of the committee will
vote to recommend the Presidents recon-
mendatons without waiting action on the
Gage bill or monetary conference bill, or
any comprehensive measure.
1t is felt that it win take much time to
consider any plan that the committee win
agree on. The nine members who are
counted on to report at once on the Pres
idents recommendations are Republicans,
while all the Democrats and three Repub-
licans are conslderd against this plan.
This leaves no doubt as to the form Of cur
rency legislation to go before the House
for consideration. The recommendatio tons
are for the issue of bank circulation up to
the par value of bonds deposited, the es-
tablishment of small banks in rural COM
munities and reduction of the tax on
bank circulation

RALLY OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The Boilers in the Sensational Fight
Bitterly Denounced.


Columbus, O., Jan. 1O.-The mass meet
ing of the Republicans at the Auditorium
in this city this afternoon was the largest
assemblage ever known in the history
of the city.
The capacity of the auditorium is $500.
All the standing room was taken and
many thousands were unable to gain ad-
mittance.
The meeting lasted from 3 to p. M,
with unbroken enthusiasm and intense
Indignation throughout its proceedings.
There were repeated scenes of kissing
when the names of Gov. BUSHNELL Mr..
Kurtz and others were mentioned. The
terms TRAITORS" Judas" and the like
were frequently used in responses from
the audience.
Several of the speakers referred to Sem
ator Foraker in connection with the revo-
luton in the party. The audience was
in close and deep sympathy with the
intense and bitter utterances of most of
the speakers.
AS the chairman, Congressman Weaver,
came on the platform the Tippecanoe Club
of Cleveland and the Business Mems
League of the city entered the halI, and
there was a wild scene for some minutes.
AS soon as order could be restored Judge
Nash addressed the audience
Congressman Walter L. Weaver of
Springfield. the home of Gov. Bushnell,
was then introduced as the chairman of
the meeting He made a most vigorous
speech against those whom he accused OF
schemes for the disruption of the party.
COL Robert NJ. Nevn of Dayton then
took the floor. Col Nevin has always
been the close personal and political friend
of Senator Foraker, Mr.. Kurtz and others
who are at this time opposing the election
of Senator Hanna. His speech against the
action of those whom he charged with de-
moraliZng and debauching the party caus-
ed the greatest demonstration of the az
ternoon. Almost the entire audience arose
n their feet. and while standing on chairs
threw their hats, handkerchiefs and other
articles wildly about the hall.
AT the conclusion of this remarkable ad-
dress the following resolutions were unan-
imously and enthusiastically adopted:

He Doesn't stop Him in 10 Rounds.
St. Louis. Jan 1O.-At the close of the
second act Of the theatrical performance
tonight James j. Corbett stepped before
the curtain and announced that he would
offer Filzsimmons $4,000 for a finish fight,
the entire sum to go TO Fitzsimmons If
Corbett fails to put him out In ten rounds.
Corbett intended to issue "A challenge on
Jan H. but decided to make 1t public to-
day. In it he says:
"As a last inducement TO overcome your
obvious reluctance to meet me again. 1
shall make the proposition shll more fav-
orable. thus: purse of $4,000 stands
ready to be offered as prize for meet
ing in a ring with you. To this l Will
add $4,000 Of my own, conditionally that
you box me to a finish This makes $780,
900. ! offer you this entire sum In case of
my failure to stop you in ten rounds,
with two provisions, viz;
Il That the contest must continue to a
finish.
'2 That l shall have something to say
In regard to the appointment Of referee,
who will not be unfairly prejudiced in
your favor.
This is my final proposltion-take it or
leave It,
II you fGdly WANT UBul-ll OHtiS.
"If you want money, a sum Is ready ex-
ceedlng your gross receipts in five battles.
IF you want reputation you can make
Il better by meeting me than by meeting
all others together. If you doubt this ask
the public each night. when you exhibit.
This is my ultmatum. Whether you
will venture or not, this is my last chal-
lenge to you, and TO bind the same / will
post $1,000 as forfeit money the moment
you accept. This remains nailed where
you may see and cannot avoid It."
st Paul, Mimi, Jan. Dwell, now,
what do you think of that?" was all that
Fitzsimmons would say tonight when
shown the Associated Press dispatch from
ST. Louis, announcing the offer by Corbett
OF $4,000 If Fitzsmmons would fight him.
The proposition seemed to amuse him and
he refused to consider II seriously, refer
ring the inquirer to his manager.
Little more was TO be learned from Mar
tin Julian. Mr.. Julian said emphatically
that ne would consider no fight proposals
until Corbett had whipped Maher, and re-
fused TO talk OF any other probabilities.
Chicago. Jan. 10.-Dan A. Stuart arriv-
cd here last night from st. Paul, where
he went on a fruitless endeavor to in
duce Fitzslmmons to enter the ring again
with Corbett
II said all / could say" declared
Stuart, "and made every inducement
could make, but of no use. Fitzsimmons
and Julian stood pat on the issue that
Corbett must first defeat Peter Maher
shall now offer purse for Corbett and
Maher, but / shall not try to get Corbett
into the match. / shall make the offer to
him and he viii, OF course, do as he
chooses"

Schade was caught in a tight place

torn and the wheel demolished Al
though not seriously injured, he will
not be able to get about for some days.
Fred did not have much to say eN-
cept that he claimed the accident would
never have happened but for the inter-

he was compelled to use in order to
keep within the new police regulations.
He claims that il is dangerous 10 use

that q person who uses them does not

1t seems strange, indeed, that in this
enlightened age. people should have to
be taught that the air passages in the

dry air alone, ana that moisture OF any

been teaching the people that great and
Interchangeable law of nature, which per-
mitS nothing but dry air to enter the

vents moisture Of any kind from enter
ing these passages) show how much
such a lesson is needed by the general

SO important was this discovery con-

over thirty eight hundred physicians

treating diseases and instructed their
patients in its use.
Not alone have the Doctors been in-
terested, but prominent men and wo-
men in scientific. religious, political,

A meeting of the creditors Of the PIN

were present Messrs. John L. Phillips, E. j.
Crook, 4. L. Booth. john Waters, W. b.
Hammond, jr.; q. o. Wilson, Frank Sloan
and Seymour Mandelbe um.
The Indebtedness of the club amounts
TO about SO, 600. OF this amount about
$4,000 is due the Maryland Agricultural
Society for rent Of the race course, 81 900
is owing TO the Country Club, and the
rest is due individuals and firms The
club has, it is said, about 30 600 in cash.
il also has furniture in the clubhouse, en-
gines, track machines, etc, which 1T is
believed would run the assets up over
$4,000. Tie meeting showed conclusiyely
that the entire Indebtedness of the club
could be wiped out if the assets equased
30 cents on each dollar Of debt.
There was some talk of organizing a
club to succeed the Pimlico Driving Club,
hut the project did not look particularly
inviting. As has been stated, one or two
parties show a willingness to purcha sc
the Country Clubs property and the mort
gage OF S2S, 200 on the Pimlfco tract
proper. The ownership Of the mortgage
ana Of the Country Clubs property, which
includes the clubhouse and something more
than five acres surrounding it, would give
the investors practical title 10 the entire
property. II the trustees, three in all,
of the Maryland Agricultural Society
should join in this purchase Of Pimlico
proper, it would take only few years
for the interest and the mortgage to reach
an amount that would be equal to the
price OF the property.
