Mail says: United States Consul
General Williams, after spending
the evening ashore with United
States Consul Wildeman, accompa-
MED the American squadron. Thir-
ty insurgent leaders here wanted
to accompany it but Chief Aguinal-
do goes as their representative.
He will take charge of the insur-
gent forces. at Manila. Admiral
Dewey has issued strict orders that
no barbarous or inhuman acts shall
be perpetrated by the insurgents.
The primary object is TO capture
the Spanish fleet, which Admiral
Dewey thinks more important than
capturing Manila. He Is deter
mined to prevent its preying upon
American vessels. On reaching
mainland he will demand capitula-
tion within half an hour after his
arrival. His men are in the best
of spirits and excellent health.
Every preparation has been made.
The ships are cleared and painted
for battle and the general opinion
is that the fight in these waters will
result in an easy victory for Amer
ica. Her ships carry 112 guns
against ninety-six or thereabouts
in the Spanish fleet.
The cooperation of the Ameri-
can feet with the rebels has been
kept a secret. The latter await
the arrival of the fleet, when Ma
nilla must soon succumb The

FAIRCHILD ON THE STAND.
More Time Given to the Monetary
Commission Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The hear
ing OF the monetary commission in be-
half of its bill for currency reform
was resumed before the banking and
currency committee of the house to-
day. ]. T. Bush, of Alabama, who was
heard yesterday, gave an additional
explanation. He urged the ease of re-
demption under the plan of the COM
mis- sion. Mr.. Bush also made the
point that while his friends might not
succeed in having the entire bill en-
acted as a law, yet they at least de-
sired that it's essential features of re-
lief would be incorporated into a meas
ure of financial reform.
The examination of ex-Secretary
Fairchild was then resumed Mr. Cox
Of Tennessee, propounded a series of
questions to Mr.. Fairchild. Technic-
ally, he agreed with Mr.. Cox that the
silver certificates were simply ware
house certificates, but practically they
were used Unfortunately, and fulfill
ed all the functions of any other class
of money. Under the commissions
plan, the eX-secretary said, the banks
could redeem notes in any lawful
money.
IF the bank elects to redeem in sill
yer and the noteholder demands gold"
asked Mr.. Cox, would there be any
way of compelling the bank to pay
gold?"
NO." replied Mr.. Fairchild, who pro
ceeded to explain, however, that the
silver obtained from the bank could
be exchanged at the treasury for gold.
Uuder this plan the only method for
the banks to obtain gold, Mr.. Fair
child said would be by the presenta-
ton of silver. The greenbacks would
be out Of existence. So that If the
outstanding silver did not suffice to
ury for the redemption of it's notes,
the banks would be compelled to pro-
cure gold elsewhere. He denied that
the government could be forced to re-
deem indirectly all the bank notes in
gold.
Robert S. Taylor, Of Fort Wayne,
Ind, appeared before the committee
at the afternoon session. He spoke in
behalf of the bill prepared by the
monetary commission. Mr.. Taylor
then carefully calculated the provisions
of the bill. In the course of his state
ment he said: 1T is time to close the
debate. We have had talk enough,
experience enough, disaster enough.
For five years the business of this
country has been in a state of strain.
The beating back of the free silver as
sault has relieved 1t for the moment
but only for the moment The inner
ent weaknesses of the system remain
and will remain while the money of
the country and it's standard of value
continue to be the subject of party
strife and liable to change at any SEES
sion of congress.
This bill enacted into law" said
Mr.. Taylor, will afford the people of
the country a sense Of security, a sense
Of confidence which is whole Bible of
finance" Mr. Taylor had not conclud-
ed when the hearing went over until
tomorrow.
Chairman Walker gave a dinner to-
night to the monetary commission, the
Massachusetts delegation and the
members of the banking and currency
committee Secretary Gage was
among the guests.

SALTWATER NEWS.
WoIfer Called to Testify in Another
Prison Investigation.

The warden and other officials of the state
prison at Waupun Wis, are being subjected
to an investigation by the state board of
control, II separate charges of mismanage-
ment having been made against them by dis
charged employees. In addition to the charge
OF cruelty, the warden is charged with hav
ing misappropriated funds. Warden Wolfer
has been asked to go there to testify as an
experienced prison man.
The Elks gave a dance in their hall last
evening. The attendance was large and the
gathering, usual, was grand success.
Warden Wolfer sent recommendation to
the board of pardons yesterday for the re-
lease of o. L. Davenport, a Rice county con-
Wet, who is suffering with tuberculosis. The
to the last meeting of the board, and when
the board adjourned they decided that Dav-
export was to have his pardon provided
Warden Wolfer recommended it, Davenport
came to the prison May %. 1885, to serve two
years and three months for arson and burg
larry. With his good time allowance he
would be entitled to a discharge March l.
1885, but it is question whether or not he
can live that long.
Judge Wilson, Of the probate court, and
commission Of physicians will tomorrow
look into the sanity Of Annie Newman, Axel
Anderson, Geo. Robinson and Henry Peter
son, convicts at the prison. The Newman
has previously been at the Rochester
asylum.
Lindeke Warner & schurmeier of st. Paul
have filed an appeal in the district court from
the allowance Of the following claims against
the estate of Mclaughlin G. Kitty: Alex
Richard $500; J. ]. Kitty, $41S.s0; H. H.
Gillen, 1886, and VIM. Moritz, 81 .051. As. These
claims were allowed by the late assignee
Setter. Inasmuch as a large number of
creditors have filed appeals from the disallow
ance of claims, it will probably take some
time to settle the assignment and the dis
tribution of assets.
Members of the Saltwater Gun club con-
template arranging for one of the grandest
shooting tournaments ever held in the North
west. 1t will probably be held early in June

YEARS.

MONTHS ACROSS THE
POND.
DABBLED IN MAINE NEWSPAPERS.
Sunk $4,000 In a Paper Mt Bfdde-
fOrd-old Orchard Beach So
ciety Sheet.

Francis L. Winch, of the firm Of
Crisham & Winch, insolvent, explained
before Judge Brill yesterday, how he
disipated fortune of SEQ, 900 in less
than five years. Mr.. Winch appeared
in court in response to the application
of the creditors of the firm for an order
compelling him as an insolvent to dis
close what he had done with some $50
600 he was supposed to have in his pos
session. Herman Oppenheim appeared
as the attorney for Mr.. Winch, and B.
I'll. Schriber acted in behalf of the
creditors. The assignee of Crisham &
Winch, William Williams, in an at
fidavit says that the assets of the car
riage firm do not exceed $4,000, that
Winch had concealed personal prop
erty to the amount of $4,000 and that
he was about to leave the state.
MI Winch made a clean breast of
everything. A young man twenty-five
years Of age, he had gone through the
$4,000 received by him when twenty
one years old, so exhaustively, that his
total cash balance today, so he testi-
fled, amounted to exactly $1.25. His
had consisted Of cash and mortgages
He had spent it literally. The mort
cages he had discounted at a sacrifice
to raise cash. He had visited Europe
where he sojourned four months at-an
expense Of $4,000. He had main
tanned residence at his former home
in Saco, Maine, where he had a $4,000
house, a retinue of servants and a
stable of horses. Growing more reck-
less, Mr.. Winch invested $4,000 in the
B1ddeford Times, a newspaper pub
lfshed in Biddeford, Me. Mr. Winchs
journalistic venture left him 5000 be-
hind. He had also lost money in the
odd Orchard Sea She'll" a purveyor
of seashore gossip.
Coming to st. Paul, Mr.. Winch, ac-
cording to his story, invested $4,000
in the carriage business here. He
frankly admitted that he had led a
dissipated life here. AS an instance Of
his eXtravagant methods, he said he
was paying board at the two leading
hotels at the same time. When, in
October last he had represented to r.
G. Dun & Co, that he was worth
$4,000 or $4,000, he had estimated that
his business alone was worth $4,000
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Winchs tes-
timony, the hearing was adjourned for
week at the request of the attorneys
for the creditors who desire to pursue
further Investigations.
Mr.. Winch was married a few weeks
ago.

INCREASE AND MULTIPLY.
j. w. De Camp On the Local Com
mission Merchants.

The following report was read at yester-
days meeting of the National League of Com
mission Merchants of the United States, now
being held at Buffalo, N. Y:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: The year
of 1897 has been a fairly good one for the
commission men of st. Paul, and 1 am
under the impression that the balance is on
the right side of the ledger up here in the
Northwest The st. Paul commission men
do not attribute this touch of prosperity to
any of the great political parties but to AL
mighty God, who has so managed the produc-
ton of No. l hard that we had a big crop
and dollar wheat The same conditions next
year would make a pretty good Klondike
here in Minnesota.
The year 1897 closed without a failure
amongst the st. Paul commission men, due
largely to our model system of weekly col
lectons, first inaugurated by st. Paul and
put into effect Aug. Is, 1893
We have admitted to membership John B.
Hoxsie and c. c. Emerson & Co., whom we
consider valuable members. adding strength
to our branch We are sorry to announce
that our president H. c. Hemenway has
removed to California. We regret to lose
him, as he was an able presiding officer, a
good business man and one who had the
interest of the league always before him
He has been succeeded by one whom you all
know, Col. ]. S. Robertson, under whose
supervision and well known energetic man
ipulation 1 feel safe in saying that our branch
will increase and multiply.
Wishing you, Mr.. President, Mr.. Secretary
and members, the compliments of the season,
! am. Yours very truly
