shooting through the shaft a
distance of about 400 feet. Tues
day he went through the working
of the Lake Superior Rematite
mine and on Wednesday visited
those of the Hard Ore mine.
Yesterday morning he started to
go through the Section 16 mine,
but after being underground for
a while he complained of net
feeling we'll and returned to his
hotel, where he remained most
of the day. About 5 o'clock he
left the hotel and went to the

shaft house at the time, about

accident occurred. But in some
manner he fell into the shaft and
shot down through it with fright

sides of the shaft at different
places, and his head was torn
from the trunk, it being found
quite distance above where the

Gen. CIRCUITS Banking Bill
Framed TO Meet the Currency situation
In the SENATE.


Brief mention has already been made Of
the bin which Geu. Grou, has introduced
in the House ITO extend and make flexible
our national bank currency" a Wash
lngton despatch saws that Gen. CIRCUITS bin
has attracted a good deal of attention IN
congress because. while not going into the
subject of currepcy reform so comprehen-
sivelv as other measures VIII h have been
proposed. il is intended to meet some of the
defects OF our present currency system in
way which will not excite such opposition
in the Senate as more elaborate'pians
The bill consists OF SIN sections and is
very brief. 1t does not attempt to leglslate
with regard to the gold standard or green
backs, on the theory that any bin which
dabbles in these questions is sure OF meet
ing irreconcilable opposition in the Senate.
Gen. Grout says he has tried TO frame a
I bill which can pass and which will do
something, although not everything 10
remedy the existing evils
His opinions are somewhat different
from those which have been expressed by
others interested in currency reform
"Io my mind, he says, ''the agitation
in favor OF setting aside our present bank
ing system is ill-timed and Improbable
If it were at all likely 10 be done capital
would at once be ALARMED and business
paralvZed.
The great fault of the present national
bank currency is lack Of hexibiity iu
times of stringency. This will be wholly
cured by the authority conferred in the
bill upon each bank to issue emergency
circulating notes, not exceeding one-haf
the market value of the bonds deposited
by the said bank above par value. nor eX-
ceeding 10 per cent of the loans and dis
counts of the bank, and TO be returned
when the strinsency shall have passed.
The premium on the bonds deposited by a
given bank would secure the redemption of
this emergency circulation, while the other
issues OF the bank would also be secured
by the redemption funds 10 be provided by
the bill from the tax on circulation and
deposit not TO exceed per cent of the
total national bank circulation
my bill will obviate these difficulties,
first, by authorizing circulation up TO the
par value of the bonds and reducing the
tax from l per cent 10 one quarter of l
per cent per annum, thus helping a little
the profits of banking, which with the
country banks are everywhere small This

Before the Dingley tariff law was passed
a syndicate of Bostonians bought a min
eral spring near Toronto. intending to ship
the water into this country under the low
tariff of the Wilson bill. The Dingley
bill. however, placed duty of "a cents a
gallon upon all imported waters This
was practically prohinitory, and the min
era water investment seemed doomed.
But 10 did not take the Boston men long
TO make discovery. They found that
