Mr.. Grosvenor, chairman Of the eau
Gus. presided. and Mr.. Bennett, Of New
York, was chosen as secretary to sue
ceed Mr.. Hooker, resigned. Repre-
sentative Henderson, of Iowa, present
ed the following resolution, which
served as text for all the discussion
Of the evening:
Resolved, That committee Of eleven mem
bers Of the present house Of representatives
who are members OF the Fifty-sixth congress.
shall be appointed by the chairman of this
caucus for the purpose of considering none
tary LEGISLATION. and submitting their recon-
mendations to a Republican caucus at the
first session Of the Fifty-sixth congress-, with
authority to confer with a like committee
from the senate.
The discussion on this resolution
proceeded with much animation for
more than an hour. Those who spoke
were Messrs. Henderson, Tawney,
Cannon. Walker, Payne and Hepburn.
There was but little difference Of opin-
ion on the main point, that it would
be futile to attempt financial legisla
ton at this late day in the present
session. Mr.. Henderson made a strong
speech in support of the plan embodied
in his resolution and pointed out the
advantage of having this important
subject committed to a body serving
both In this congress and the next and
representing the various sections Of
the country, and, as far as possible,
it's diverse business and economic in
terests.
AFRAID OF AGITATION.
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 be-
lief, however, that The present pros
perity of the country made it inexpe-
| dent to enter upon financial discus
sions. He particularly referred to the
enormous exports within recent
months and the great money balance
in our favor. This, he thought, show.
ed such a healthy economic condition
that it should be left alone Mr. Can
non said he did not think any f1nan-.
cial Legislation . could be carried
through until after the next presiden-
tial election.
Mr.. Payne, the recently appointed
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, did not coincide with Mr.. Can
mons objection and strongly favored
the proposed plan Of committing the
entire financial subject to a caucus
committee. 1t would be able to work
during the coming months and pre-
pare such a well-developed scheme as
would commend itself on all sides.
Mr.. Cannon expressed the belief that
such a measure, conservative and In
telligent, could be passed very early
in the next session Of congress and
probably during the winter months.
The other speeches were substan-
TALLY along the same line, general ad-
vertence being given to the plan of a
caucus committee, representing all Sec
tions and interests. This, it was point
ed out, would be no reflection on the
regular house committees, which
dealt with banking and currency and
coinage, as such committees ended
with the session, while the caucus
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-02-03

gress. realizing the necessity Of none
tary legislation and its impossibility in
the present session, have recognized
the need of taking steps in anticipa-
ton of the next session of the Fifty
sixth congress, In order to avoid, If
possible. the slow drag Of discussion
in committee. They have finally agreed
that a caucus committee of the house
could act with a responsive committee
Of the senate in careful consideration
of the subject during the first recess
and have in readiness a recommends
tion for submission to a Republican
caucus in the next session upon such
important features of monetary legis~
latfon as may be deemed necessary and
wise for the public welfare, and the
fulfllment of the party's pledge.
IT have every reason to believe that
the senate; finance committee will be
authorized to sit during recess, or that
a responsive committee to the commit
tee appointed in the house caucus will
represent the Republicans Of the SEN
ate in conference for harmonious rec
concentrations of the two houses.
Il am gratified to make known to
the advocates of monetary legislation
that these steps have been made pos
sible by the encouragement of the pres.
ident. Senator Aldrich. Speaker Reed
and the leading Republican members
of the house. The Importance Of this
action cannot be overestimated, as in
my judgment it assures important
money legislation. The patience of the
advocates Of monetary legislation has
been severely taxed, but the public
mind has steadily gone forward to a
better and fuller understanding of the
propriety of writing in the statutes
the integrity of our monetary system,
with full knowledge that the first
time has come when such a
step was possible. In my judgment
the Republicans in congress have been
only waiting to secure control Of the
two. houses, and 1 believe they will now
give the form of law to the demand of
the people for sound and stable things
and put beyond question the basis Of
our currency, thus protecting the treas
ury and relieving the commerce of the
country"

Bishop Doane Prepares an Article
on ''Imperialism.'
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The Church
man, in it's issue of Feb. 4. will con-
tain an article by Rt. Rev. William
Crosswell Doane, bishop of Albany. on
Imperialism" The bishop opens with
a reputation of the word Imperial
ISM as in any sense correct term
to be applied TO any policy at present
suggested for the American govern
ment. He says that whatever enlarge
ment may come from the present post
ton Is not active and intentional land
grabbing, but the passive acceptance
Of the care Of certain people and GER
tain races thrust upon us by the I'M
expected and unintended outcome Of
the war.
Discussing the present duty of the
Christian American citizen the bishop
says that it is quietness and conf
dence. Making haste to give up the
Philippines to nobody knows what or
whom, and to leave Cuba and Porto
Rico to take care of themselves, or
making haste to annex Cuba, to ad-
NIT Porto Ricans to citizenship and
to make the Philippines part of the
United States are alike condemned by
the bishop as suicidal and senseless.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 2.-Information

Rio Grande railway that snow slide
on it's. line, nine miles east Of
Glenwoodz Springs, today came down
on-top of "a work. train, wrecking the

others, a fireman and section hand
The killed are: Roadmaster Mcmahon
and two section men, names unknown.
The work trainsj had been sent to
clear the snow-bloeked tracks east Of
Glenwood and was splowing through a
drift when the slide came.
The slide was about 800 feet in width,
but thousands of tons Of ice and snow
blocked the railway and made it i'm
possible for trains to pass until road
could be shoveled through the OBJ
struction.
At o'clock this evening Supt. Sam
pie received partial reports, which
stated that six men were dead and q
number seriously injured. There has
been no roll call to check up the crew,
as the men are all scattered.

One Kills the Other After Receiving
Mortal Wound.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. Bob
Marks, a noted sporting character and
typical dead-shot Texan, was killed in
a duel today with John w. Bennett,
proprietor Of saloon and gambling
house. Marks had been drinking, and
announced, as he left his own saloon,
that he was going to die with his boots
on. He entered the Silver King saloon
and threatened to shoot out the lights.
Words were passed and revolvers were
drawn. Marks emptied the five cham
bers of his revolver, shooting Bennett
through the abdomen. Stretched on
the floor, mortally wounded, Bennett
fired three shots at Marks. The latter
was shot through the body and died
with his pistol in his hands. Bennett
died tonight.

would be relieved of much Of the en-
barrassments arising between the reg

likely to be involved In this service,
and also to make up a strong organ

INDIAN CORN EXHIBIT.
During the hearing Of the house ap-
preparation bill the other day, on the
allowance which should be made to
Ferdinand Peck, commissioner to the
Paris exposition, one of his associates
made strong plea for special pro-
vision for an exhibit there of Indian
corn. 1t was stated that SO per cent
of foreign consumers did not know
that there was such a cereal; while the
remainder thought it was only fit for
cattle. 1t is probable that the COM
mittee will not only recommend max
ing special feature of Indian corn,
but also of cotton, thus linking to-

LUMBER TARIFF.
The reduction of the tariff on lum-
ber seems more probable since the
meeting of the newspaper publishers,
and their resolution in favor of ad-
mitting both paper and wood pulp free
into the United States. 1t is claimed
that Canadian insistence on free lum-
ber is what stands in the way of the
one dollar rate. More certainty, how
ever seems to exist that the controver-
sizes as to miners will be satisfactorily
adjusted. The Canadians, it is said,
have agreed to the entry of American
miners into the Atlin district of British
Columbia. transportation into which is
now being awaited by 800 American
