CURRENCY
LEGISLATION
Caucus of the Republican
House Members.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
For the Purpose of Considering the
Best Bill--The Prosperity
of the Country.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED

Washington, Feb. 1.-The republican
members of the house met in caucus at
s O'Clock tonight to determine upon a
course of action in regard to the framing
of the currency legislation. The meeting
was we'll attended, most of the prominent
figures on the Republican side of the
lamb being present. Speaker Reed did
not attend. having previously made an
other engagement. Gen. Grosvenor, chair
maj of the caucus, presided, and Mr..
Bennett of New York was chosen as sec
rotary to succeed Mr.. Hooker, resigned.
Representative Henderson of Iowa pre-
scented the following resolution, which
served as a text for all the discussion of
the evening":
Resolved, That a committee of II
members of the present house of rep
reSentatlVes, who are members of the
Flfty-slXth congress-, shall be appoint
ed by the chairman of this caucus for
the purpose of considering monetary
legislation and submitting their recon-
mendations to a republican caucus at
the first session of the Fifty-siXth con-
gress, with authority to confer with a
like committee from the senate
The discussion on the resolution pro-
ceeued with much animation for more
than an hour. There was but little
difference of opinion on the main point,
that it would be futile to attempt
financial legislation at this late day.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois questioned the
wisdom of the resolution, although he
said he would not oppose it with his
vote. He expressed the strong belief,
however, that the present prosperity
of the country made it ~ineXpedient to
enter upon financial discussion. He
particularly referred to the enormous
exports within recent months and the
great money balance in our favor. This,
he thought, showed such a healthy
economic condition that it should be
left alone. Mr.. Cannon said he did not
think any financial legislation could be
carried through until after the next
presidential election.
Mr.. Payne, the recently appointed
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, did not coincide with Mr.. Can
mons objections and strongly favored
entire financial subject to a caucus
committee. 1t would permit careful
consideration of the question during the
coming months, and the preparation
of such a we'll matured plan as WOulc
commend itself on all hands. Mr.
Payne expressed the belief that sucl
a measure, conservative and Intelligent
could be passed very early in the mex
session of congress-. The other speeche
were substantially along the same line
When the vote was taken it was littl
short of unanimous, viz: Yeas 81, nays 4

Satisfied With HIS Trip

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Prof. s. A.
Knapp, who went to the Orient some
months ago as the confidential agent of
Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture, has reached this city on his
way home. His mission was, first, to
gather seeds of staple agriculture pro-
ducts for sowing in the southern states
andn, secondly, to promote the export
trade of the United States in certain lines
of industry. He returns wei Satisfied
with the result of his labors. He found in
Japan, rice seed much superior to that
used in the south and also some new
plants and fruit trees. He has arranged
to ship samples of American products
to various eastern countries. He visited
the Philippines and says the situation
there is greatly exaggerated.

Fell Into the Crate

West Union, Ohio, Feb. 3.-Dugal Tay-
lor, residing just out of town, was badly
burned about the face and hands last
night under peculiar circumstances. Tay-
lor was sitting in a chair in front of a
large open fireplace and went to sleep.
He was soon in dreamland and imagined
he was in a fight. Reaching forward he
aimed a blow at his imaginary antago-
mist. The movement caused him to be-
come overbalanced and he pitched for
ward and fell upon upon his face in the
hot Goals of fire.

She Was CremateC

Hartford City, Ind, Feb. 5. Miss
Francis LETTER, the ~16-year-old daughter
of George LETTER, one Of the best-known
farmers in Washington township, was
practically cremated before the eyes Of
her lover, Charles Banter, yesterday
morning. Banter accompanied her to a
revival meeting, and both returned to
her home tired and sleepy. They sat
before an open fire and fell asleep.
The occupants Of the house were shortly
awakened by screams. The youthful
lover aWoke just in time to see the girl
dashhng out of the door with her clothing
in flames. The vino added strength to
the blaze, but the girl ran until she sank
from exhaustion. Her clothes were en-
tlrely burned from her body, and she
died from her injuries. Before she died
she told the attending physician that the
wind had blown down the chimney with
such force as to send a blaze against her
dress, iSnlting it, and that her lover was
in no way responsible for the accident.
Banter is distracted with grief.

HISTORY'S

Cinderella is not entirely the product
of fiction. Thu Princess Rhodopis of
Egypt was the first Cinderella. She was
bathing in the Nile. and a bird, which
Strabo calls an eagle, flying past, picked
up one of her slippers, or sandals, flew
away with it, and dropped it on the lap
of Prince Psammeticus, who was holding
a court of justice in Memphis. He was
so struck by the dainty manufacture and
small size of the sandal that, being then
in search of a bride, he at once vowed
that he would only wed the maiden whose
foot fitted the sandal. There were Two
elder daughters at the first marriage who
greatly envied her good fortune-and
here we have all the essentials Of the
story.

THE FAMINE
IN RUSSIA
Was Caused By the Failure of
the Crops
THE AMERICANS MAY AID
Red Cross IS Doing Noble Work in
Establishing Eating Houses
In the Provinces.
THE AMERICANS MAY AID

Washington, Feb 2.-Ambassador
Hitchcock from st. Petersburg has re-
ported to the state department. on the
famine conditions prevailing in certain
parts of Russia. The report is taken
from the statement of the Red Cross So
ciety in the official Gazette. Ambassa-
dor Hitchcock says that before trans
uniting the report in question he called
upon the minister of foreign affairs to as
certain whether the report as set forth
was accurate and whether or not the i'm
perial government would care to have
the matter brought to the attention of
the public in America with a view of en-
listing the sympathies and action of our
people, who responded so generously to
a call made upon them under similar
conditions several years ago. CountMu-
ravieff stated that the report might be
considered official.
Destitution following failure of crops
exists in seven eastern and two central
provinces of Russia, and the relief work
is being carried on by the Russian i'm
perial government through the agency
of the Russian Red Cross, because it
was felt that direct government aid
might foster a feeling among the peas
ant class that they had a right to de-
mand rather than to request assistance,
even when their sufferings were the di-
rect result of their own laziness as we'll
as the failure Of their crops. The Red
Cross thus far has appropriated about
$685. coo to the relief work. Eating houses
have been established, children provided
with food and work found for those
peasants who are able to work. The So
ciety has been careful to offer work
wherever it could be done, and those
who refuse this form of assistance are not
otherwise helped. Count Muravieff eX-
pressed his appreciation of the professed
aid from the United States and of the ac-
tual relic that has been given in previous
cases., and said that the imperial govern
ment as in a position to deal it'll the
present emergency.

THE EMERGENCY REASON.

Consider that anger is a professed enemy to counsel; it is a direct stcugn, in which nc man can be heard to speak or call from without; or if you coun- sel gently, you are despised; If you urge it and be vehement, you provoke it more. Be careful therefore to lay up beforehand a greai. stock of req sen and prudent consideration, that like a besieged town, y3u may be pro- vided for, and be diefensible from with in, since you are not Likely to be re- levsd from without. Anger is not to be as inward as itself and more habit ual. To which purpose add that of all passions it endeavors most tcl make reason useless. Taylor.
