cf issue have been advocated by every party
except the Populists. In 1872 the Demo-
cratic national convention declared for re-
peal of the United States tax upon the
notes of state banks, to the end that there
might be banks of issue. The national
bank, as now constituted, is very different
institution from the old United States Bank.
There ,yas but one United States bank:
there are now about 800 national banks,
each independent of the other. 1t is pro-
posed by the representative bodies of bust
ness men to so change the law as to make
it possible TO have national bank of issue
in any city of three thousand inhabitants.
1t is proposed to require national banks to
so utilize part of the greenbacks that
they cannot be used as an endless chain
to disturb the finances of the country. Few
of the larger banks of New York, Boston
and other large cities avail themselves of
the authority to issue notes. 1t may be
added that through the clearinghouse sys-
tenn, mainly sustained by the national banks,
the use of actual money has been greatly
economical, since by that system it takes
only about IS of actual money to perform
the functions of 500 in the great transac-
tions of the country

AMERICANS AROUSED.
How Rubens's Statement Was Re-
ceived at Key West.

DETROIT, Mich, April S.-The Tribune's
Key West special says: The impassioned
statement of Horatio S. Rubens, counsel of
the Cuban Junto at New York, in which
the startling information was given that the
Cubans would fight the United States troops
unless the Cuban republic recognized
caused a tremendous sensation here. The
hot-headed portion of the American popu-
lation held a mass meeting to-day to con-
slider measures to be taken Fiery speeches
were made urging an attack on the Cubans
if the report was true. As Key West is
nearly half Cubans the excitement can be
We'll imagined.
One man in his speech said: If these
men would turn on the United States after
what every expects is to be done for
them the United States ought to begin on
them first and begin right away. Every
local American would bring out MS r1f1e at
a seconds notice.
This mass meeting alarmed the Cubans
and they held a. meeting to see what ought
to be done to set their people right. They
repudiated the report and said IL was I'M
dOubtedly lie sent out TO hurt their cause
Resolutions were unanimously passed eX-
pressing their friendship foF the American
people, appreciation of what had been and
was being done for them, and placing conf
dence in the administration. These were
rushed to the local papers TO counterfeit the
feeling This had the effect to allay the
popular clamor and it was generally be-
lieved that the report was another Spanish
lie All antagonism was then dropped.

PUGILlST STOUT DEAD.
Given a Fatal Jolt on the Jaw by
the "Omaha Kid"

COLUMBUS, o., April S-George Stout,
Of Philadelphia, who was knocked out by
Oscar Gardner, the ~Omaha Kid" "a hot
fight last night, died from the effects of the
blow at the ST. Francis Hospital at $40
O'Clock this morning 1t was in the twelfth
round that the fatal jolt was delivered.
Stout falling heavily and never regaining
consciousness. He was ordered taken to the
hospital by a physician, but nothing could
be done for him. His wife was summoned
from Philadelphia and is said to be now en-
route here. Gardner and Mike Connolly and
P. H. Sullivan, his seconds, were arrested
and taken to the Central police station,
where a charge of suspicion was placed
against them. The knockout blow was
short right-arm swing on the jaw.
Two affidayits were filed against Oscar
Gardner, one charging him with prize hight
ing and the other with manslaughter. Su-
perintendent of Police Kelly filed the affi-
davits. The autopsy on the body OF George
Stout shows that blood vessel in the I brain
was no fracture of the skull. There was no
padding on the ring floor, and the theory
was caused by stout's head striking the
floor. The autopsy does not bear out this
theory, but indicates that the knockout
blow on the jaw did all the damage In
addition to Gardner and his seconds. Mike
Conley and +. II. Sullivan, who were ar
rested Thursday night. William and Joe
B1erholter ana James Ndarsiidii' pIonolsis
of the fight, were taken into custody to-
day. All of these men were released ex-
cept Gardner. it being found they could not
be held ON any charge, since the mayer had
given a permit for the fight. Gardner was
released tonight on 500 bond. pending
preliminary hearing. He is very much dis
tressed over Stouts death, and says that
he will never fight again. His attorney Is
confident that he cannot be convicted, since
q permit was given for the fight. At the
shipped to Palasqua, Pa. Mayor Black says
no more fighting will be permitted in Co
lumbuS.

the people of Cuba Weye all most kindly dis

upon this country as a big brother, but
they wanted independence, and thought
their struggle for freedom should be recog-

the hearing concluded. Mr.. Newlands
moved an adjournment Luptil Monday at IL
o'clock, which was carried. The committee
has no regular day of meeting now, and it
is subject to the call of the chairman. In
order to be in a position to act the friends

of adjourning until Monday. so that II nee

NO TIME LOST.

In their unreasoning impotence a large
number of people are saying that much
time has been wasted in negotiations with
Spain which should have been devoted to
war. Intelligent people should have some
respect for their intelligence, but they do
not show it when they declare that nothing
has yet been done except to parley with the
Spanish Ministry
In modern war much preparation is neees-
sary; for a naval war careful and costly
preparation is imperative. The intelligent
newspaper reader knows that since Con-
gress voted $5OOO0.OOO for preparation the
United States has been put in comparative
readiness for a naval war. We have three
times as many effective ships monitors and
other vessels adapted to fighting and block
aiding as we had when Congress took action.
Harbors have been fortified, troops have
been transferred to the seaboard and maya
