FOR GOLD
STANDARD |
The Measure Prepared by the Re-
publican House Committee.
TOPRBvBET ETGOLDRBsBRvERAIDs

GrceubnclSs Redeemed with Gold shall
Not BE Again Rci--ueu Except la Ex-
change For Gold-Throws Down the
Gauntlet to the Senate's Committee.
Washington. Nov. 2S.-The general
currency bill prepared by the Repub-
lican caucus committee appointed by
the last congress has received its final
revision az the hands OF the members
and will be given to the press for pub
lication tomorrow. after a copy has
been mailed TO each Republican rep
resentative in congress. The measure
represents the unanimous conclusions
of the committee and will be called
up for consideration at the caucus OF
Republican members Of the house
which is to be held probably next Sat
urday. Accompanying the bill is a re-
port setting forth at length the reasons
and necessity which in the opinion OF
the committee exists for the proposed
legislation.
The Evening Star prints the follow
ing as some of the features Of the bill,
and which in the main are probably
fairly accurate:
An amendment TO the coinage laws,
making 252s grains of gold, 900 parts
fine, the standard coin measure.
An amendment to the greenhack re-
issue of 1878, providing that those
treasury notes shall he redeemed with
gold, and when so redeemed shall not
be reissued except in exchange for gold.
This provision viii prevent the opera
tion Of the endless chain which hither-
to has been the means TO raid the gold
reserve
An amapdment to the specific re-
sumption act directing the mainten-
ance of gold reserve Of not less than
800 600 600. the maintenance of the
reserve at that figure now being en-
tirely discretionary to the secretary Of
the treasury.
An amendment to the national bank
act, authorizing banks TO be organ
lied with a capital stock of S25 900
At present the minimum is $4,000
Another amendment to the same act
authorizing banks TO issue notes to
the par value of the bonds they have
on deposit to secure circulation. At
present the limit is 80 per cent A
third amendment TO this act reduces
the taxation on bank circulation to
one-tenth of l per cent. This tax
is to pay the expense of engraving and
printing the notes. The present rate
more than meets this expense.
The action of the committee in de-
claring for the gold standard in un-
mistakable terms throws down the
gauntlet to the senate finance commit
tee for that committee, in preparing
the senate bill. it is asserted, do not
use the same clear language in regard
to their declaration as the house com
mittee do. The senate committee. II
is claimed. accomplishes the same OBJ
ject, but does it in a manner not so
offensive to some of the Republicans
who do not want the words gold stand
ard used,

IL. o. Bechtel and A d. Knittle, counsel
for the seven defendants found guilty in the
first degree of the murder of Joseph Rutkof-
ski, were given until next Monday by Judge
Henning to file their reasons for a new trial.
1t is not believed that Judge HenniDg will
grant a new trial, as the verdict of the jury
was in line with his Honor's charge. And
the fact that the Supreme Court will not re-
view the testimony, on appeal, but merely
consider legal propositions, there is no likei-
hood Of the condemned men securing new
trial. Their only hope is in the Board of
Pardons.

John Skeath, of Mahanoy City, who, with
about 40 miners, left that town five or six
weeks ago for Montana, has written letter
to the Mahanoy City Daily Record in which
he denies that there was strike in progress

work. Mr.. Skeath affrms that the represen
tative Of the company who came east and
induced the men to 20 out, not only kept his
promises but advanced the price of mining

Montana. Mr.. Skeaths denial is endorsed
by the men who went west with him and

and the meeting of the ''tenderfeet" by an
