GOLD BASIS
VIII Be Fully Attained by BANKING
:s Bill PrOvisicns.


:s Bill PrOvisicns.-
WASHINGTON. June 15.-The committee
canvassng the outlook for passing the gen
eral banking and currency bill in the house
aSnounced today that about 14O members had
signed the canvass, and that all the members
in New England. save the Massachusetts, and
Maine delegations. were solid for it.
The bill was reported to the house by the
committee on banking and currency today.
The features of the bill already have been
published.
The report made by the committee is main
ly the work of Representative McCleary. of
Minnesota, chairman of the special subcom-
mittee that framed the bill. 1t summarizes
the ultimate operation OF the bill as fol-
lows:
':The bill locks ultimately to the e.imina-
ton of government paper money from circu-
laton. With the withdrawal Of bonded Sc
curity also, the ultimate currency of the
country viii consist of gold and silver coin
of full legal tender power and notes issued
by the banks, under the provisions of the
proposed bill.
The growth in the wealth of the country
and in its ability to retain at home large
portion of the great gold production of the
United States, will tend to swell the gold re-
sources of the country until geld coin is like
ly to become a common factor in daily ex-
change among the people. This condition of
affairs, will operate at once to simplify and
strengthen the currency system and to in
crease the security afforded by the proposed
law to the holders of bank notes.
The banks will be required. when reserve
notes and legal tender notes have alike disap-
peared, to fulfill all requirements CT law call
ing for lawful money by keeping gold and
silver coin. and the present quantity of silver
is likely to be so completely absorbed for re-
tail exchanges that the bank reserve will
consist almost entirely of gold. This being
the case It is obvious that the issue of a
banking currency based purely On assets
without either bonds reserve notes will
involve no risk of undue imitation or of loss
to the note holder"

AN AUSTRIAN FOR US.

One of the Two Leading Journals of
vienna OutspOken I'm Sympathy.
From the Vienna Deutsche Zei.ung
One of the saddest and most disgust
ing spectacles~ of public life is the DO
litical hypocrisy celebrating it's orgies
In the present war. The leading news
papers of Europe have united in a de-
nunciation of the North American re-
public. Liberal conservative and cler-
ical have made wholesale attacks on
poor Uncle Sam, accusing the United
States of fndulging in a brutal policy
OF conquest and aggression. Strange
it Is. indeed, that these same newspa-
pers have taken an entirely different
position regarding the foreign politics
OF their own country. for which they
are now condemning the United States
A FEW days ago respectable Berlin
newspaper of national tendency de-
manded that Germany obtain exclusive
control and possession Of Samoa, on
the ground that German commerce In
the islands in the last year had greatly
shrunk. This same newspaper how
ever, in the strongest words charged
the United States with fostering rapa-
cious designs on Cuba, ignoring the
fact, however, that tha exports of the
Union to the Pearl Of the Antilles, and
the damages which it has suffered in
consequence of the Cuban war, have
been far greater than the German losses
in Samoa
AT the present moment the division
of the Chinese empire between the
european nations is going on, applaud
ed by these same newspapers, who are
now laundering against the "rapacious
and brutal Yankee ma ton" It is &C
knowledged by all impartial witnesses
that the legal, rights Of the North
American Union de sHfacto are far great
er than those Of the, European nations,
including Gernanys who are now so
anxious to obtain fat morsels of land
in China. HeAr the North American
Union any desire ITO annex Cuba It
would have a perfect right to do So
for geographically political, commercial
humanitarian and other reasons.
Our whole sympathy in this war is
with the Unions There is hardly a
family in Austria ar Germany which
has not some dear rela or friends
on the other side Of the water, MANY
of whom are row preparing to Shed
their blood for the c8use Of their adopt
ed country. Considered from COM
mercial standpoint. ave should be care
full not to antagdnizs the United States
especially at the present time. whe1,
our export tradenis at such low ebb.
The North American republic is a
warning for all rulers and governments
who are now steering into the channels
of absolutism. Without the Union civic
liberty In Europe would have been an
impossibility. We therefore make no
mistake in suppGsing that the sympa-
thies Of all friends of liberty are with
the United States.

Mary Horrigan, once treasurer of

placed on trial before Judge Lancaster

called as its first witness Mrs Melissa

Charles p. Silloway testified that he

discovering that the amount that
should have been turned over by Mrs.
Horrigan to her successor was $1,01S.42
Mrs. Mary A. Silloway after giving
some minor testimony as to the meth

the discovery of the shortage she had
had a conversation with Mrs. Horri-

how were you tempted?" To this Mrs
Horrigan had replied: Don't ask me-"
A few minutes later Mrs. Silloway tes-

with regard tO the transfer of the
corps funds from one bank to the

LIQUID HYDROGEN.
Discovery and Character of the Mos
Extraordinary LIQUID known.

Discovery and Character of the Most
Extraordinary Liquid known.
At the meeting Of the Chemical So
ciety Prof. Dewar gave short account
or the first attempts made to determine
the physical contents of liquid hydro
gen. Among the most interesting points
brought forward was that Just as in
the middle of last century chemists
were startled by Cavendish's discovery
or factitious gas, namely, hydrogen
having density of one.-fourteenth
that of air. so now they were startled
by finding in liquid hydrogen a liquid
having density Of 0.07 or roughly
one-fourteenth that of water Hydro
gen occluded in palladium has been
found to have density of G62. What
ever, therefore, be the form in which
it exists in that metal, 1t is more than
eight times denser than in the liquid
condition, and consequently must be in
state of chemical combination, and
not merely in one of liquefaction.
Liquid hydrogen is thus by far the
most extraordinary liquid known. The
hghtest liquid hitherto obtained is
liquid marsh gas, which has at it's
boiling point a density Of about two
fifths that Of water. Liquid hydrogen,
therefore, has only one-sixth of the
density of liquid marsh gas, and the
surprising thing is that having such a
small density, it is so we'll defined, so
easily seen, and so capable of collec-
ton and manipulation in vacuum YES
sells.
Prof. Dewar has determined the boil
ing point of the liquid by means of a
platinum resistance thermometer =
practically the only form available at
such low temperatures. The result he
has obtained is-23S degrees centigrade
at atmospheric pressure; in other
words. liquid hydrogen boils steadily at
80 degrees above the zero of absolute
temperature From all analogy it is
inferred that the lowering Of tempera-
ture that will be produced by forcing
the liquid to boil in vacuo cannot
amount to more than 10 or Is degrees
1t is, therefore. possible to say with
confidence that at the present moment
science can project no method that will
get nearer to the absolute zero than 20
or Is degrees.
The boiling point of liquid hydrogen
is really higher than suggested by
theory and the work of other expert
menters. The density Of the vapor COM
ing off from the boiling liquid is eight
times denser than the gas at ordinary
temperatures, whereas in the case OF
liquid air the vapor Is only four times
heavier. Liquid hydrogen, again, is 100
times denser than the vapor it is giving
off, whereas the density Of liquid oxy-
gen is 255 times greater than that of
It's vapor The atomic volume of LIQUID
hydrogen at its boiling point is 14.3,
While that Of oxygen is 1877.
1t may be mentioned that the plati-
mum resistance thermometer, when i'm
mersed in the liquid hydrogen, is cooled
to within six platinum degrees of it's
zero point, so that If cooled these few
degrees more-as it can be by means
of the liquid boiling under reduced pres
sure-it must break down, becoming an
infinite conductor with no resistance.
