lodged in the bank by the treasury, which
often has nine or ten millions more on
hand at the end of March than at the be-
ginning of January. Such piings up strip
the market and give the bank control of
rates and it may this year begin to eXer
else this control by the latter half of Feb
ruary.
meanwhile the treasury is paying out
for armor plates, ships, fortticatiOns,
etc, faster than it receives, as is proved
by the fact that the government balances
this week are nearly G350,000 less than
they were year ago. Here lies the true
cause of the extreme cheapnesS of money.
Both market and bank are overwhelmed
by the treasury disbursements and while
these continue undiminshed ease must

New York, Jan. pa dispatch to the

Cuban commissioners who have been in
Washington for six weeks upon affairs
connected with the plans for future gov
ernment, have completed their work and
will soon sail for Havana. They will
proceed to Santa Cruz and report to the
assembly The commissioners express
great satisfaction, and state that they

One commissioner says that certain
amount would be advanced by the United
States for the payment of the Cuban
soldiers and upon receipt the army will
be immediately disbanded Just how
much would be granted or how much
each soldier would receive he would not
say. This mount will be secured by the
revenues of the island over which the
American government will have control
until the debt is paid. The members Of
the commission We're disinclined to dis
cusS the success of their mission until
their report has been submitted to the

HARDEN WILL NOT
BE APPOINTED

New York, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Upon
the arrival in Manila of the civilian
members of the Philippines commission,
the first action which they will be re-
quired to take will be to elect a secre-
tary. Edward w. Harden of Chicago,
selected few days ago, will not fill the
position. During his conference with the
civilian members the president suggested
that Rear Admiral Dewey and Major
General Otis should be consulted about
such appointments During the war Mr..
Harden has been employed as a news
paper correspondent at Manila and had
made his headquarters on board the
revenue cutter McCulloch, which partici-
pated in the battle of Manila bay and
subsequent operations. In reply to the
presidents inquiry, Admiral Dewey
-cabed that he had no objection to Mr..
Harden's appointment. General Otis,
however, took exception to the appoint
ment of the Chicago man, because, it is
said, he published in a San Francisco
newspaper a statement concerning the
Philippines which Otis declared untrue.
In view of General Otis message, the
decision to appoint Mr.. Harden as Sec
retary of the commission was revoked.

Senate Proceedings

Washington, Jan. 23.-The bill reported
by the judiciary committee providing for
attendance of witnesses in matters per-
tanning to the court of claims was passed.
The special urgency deficiency bill.
carrying 100000, was also passed.
White addressed the senate. White
spoke not only on the Vest anti-eXpanson
resolution but also to that offered by
Bacon, declaring the inha btants of the
Philippines are entitled to liberty and in
dependence. White took as texts for his
remarks certain paragraphs from the
supreme court decisions, a sentence from
the Mckinley Atlanta speech and a para
graph from the report of Admiral Dewey
to the navy department saying the Fill
pinos We're as well qualified for self gov
ernment as the Cubans. He said he had
no intention of discussing the question
from a legal standpoint as such discus
sion would serve no useful purpose.
THE views of senators of eminent abil-
ity,' said he, demonstrate the futility of
endeavorng to secure accord upon that
point"

II SOON BECAME
A RACE FOR LIFE

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Jan. 23.-While
nearly 100 persons We're on the great ice
bridge in the gorge Of the Niagara river
the icy mass was broken loose from the
banks at either end. There We're thous-
ands of Sunday sight-seers in the parks
and upon the upper arch enjoying the
beauty of the crystalline structure.
They heard the cracking of the ice and
saw the great mass as it was moving
by the swift current of the river, and
hundreds shouted warning to those on
the bridge. Some of those venturesome
persons had only gone a short distance
from the river bank, while others We're
out in the center of the bridge and We're
crossing the river. Those near the end
soon found safety, but further out to-
ward the center were a number of small
boys. Before they We're fairly started
for the shore the great bridge was loos-
ened from its fastenings. Then it be-
came race for life, but the youngsters,
amid wild shouts, finally reached the
