CURRENCY GILL.
The Republican Measure for Regulat
ing the Country's Finances.


ing the Country's Finances.
The text of the currency measure elab-
Grated by the Republican Senate Finance
Committee has been made public. The
bill is a gold standard bill 1t affirms the
existing standard without equiyocation.
1t declares that 1.-THE dollar consisting Of
twenty-five and eight-tenths grains of
gold nine-tenths fine shall, as established
by section 3511 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States, continue to be the
standard unit of value, and all forms of
money issued or coined by the United
States shall be maintained at parity OF
value with this standard"
In the next place, the Senate bill, like
that of the House, provides that the
greenbacks and the treasury notes OF the
law of 1890 "shall be redeemed in gold
coin" of the standard specified. In the
third place, reserve fund of $150OOO,-
600 is set apart for redemption purposes,
and the treasury is given power to issue
bonds for the maintenance of that trust
fund. The House bill provides for re-
serve fund equal to % per cent of the
outstanding volume of government notes,
which at present would amount to less
than $109,OOO,000. Again, the Senate
bill enlarges the privileges of the nation
al banks by allowing them to issue notes
up to the par value of bonds deposited.
1t provides for a reduction Of the tax on
circulation issued not, indeed, against all
bonds, but against bonds bearing only
2 per cent interest. The House bill does
away with this tax altogether. but it
imposes instead tax equal to that elm
mated on the capital and surplus and un-
divided profits Of the banks.
The House bill converts all outstanding
"coin" bonds into gold obligations. The
Senate committee has refused to do this.
1t leaves the coin bonds as they are, max
ing 1t possible for secretary to redeem
them in silver. The House bill also au-
thorizes the exchange by the treasury of
gold for silver, which provision the Sen
ate bill omits.

A remarkable case Of salvage 10 that
Of the steamship Milwaukee, which
last autumn went ashore at Port Er-
rol, near Peterhead. Finding 1t impos-
sible to float her, as large part of
her fore end was inextricably jammed,
she was cut In two with belts Of dyna-
mite cartridges. The after part, ex-
tending from just before the forward
end of the navigating bridge, was tow
ed to the Tyne and moored In that
river until a new bow end was built,
launched, and made ready for conpec-
ton to It, 1t Is remarkable that this
part of the vessel was flowed with the
bulkhead end foremost, apd that the
tugboats were assisted by the ships
own engines. The repairers were so
successful In their attempt to dry dock
that the two pieces were In correct rel
alive positions, and but little subse-
quent adjustment was found neces-
sary. A stranger would never suppose
he was not looking at the original bow,
and would find 1t impossible to point
out where the junction was effected.
In point of fact, the Milwaukee Is now
as perfect and as strong as ever she
was.

BRIGHAM II. ROBERTS.

Brigham H.. Roberts. Representative
elect from the State of Utah, Is not to
sit as a member of the .Fifty-sixth Con-
gress. Final judgment on his case was
indicated when the House by a vote Of
302 to 80 declined to accord him permits
sion to take the oath Of Office. A special
committee composed OF nine members
was appointed TO investigate the charges
that caused the action. Roberts intimat-
ed that IL all other resources fail he may
appeal to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States for adjudication of the legal
questions involved in the proceedings to
Gust him. Roberts made gallant de-
Tense in his own behalf He refgused to
sue for the mercy Of the House, but de-
manded as his right that he be permitted
to occupy his seat so that the State OF
Utah might be represented in Congress.
Originally limited to twenty. minutes for
the presentation Of his argument, his
time was extended thirty minutes longer.
Roberts made good use of his opportu-
nifty. He crowded as many ideas and
facts into his speech as il would contain.
The galleries were crowded to their full
est capacity while the debate was in prog
ress and, as during the opening, the audi
ence was largely composed of women.
They were coldly hostile to the man from
Utah. They listened to his eloquent ar
gument without betraying the slightest
sympathy with the deductions he drew.
On the other hand, when his prosecutors
scored against him, they swclled the ap-
plause with which Congressman on both
the Democratic and Republican sides Of
the house greeted the hits, and appeared
to be resentful when Speaker Henderson
warned them that they must preserve or
der.
Roberts, notwithstanding his bulldog
determination and unflinching nerve,
which were betrayed in every line of his
heavy face, was not unmindful of the
unsympathetic conduct. He accepted the
moiety of sympathy which came from a
few with eloquent gratitude, which prov
ed the extremity OF his position. When
the debate was closed and the House
voted down the amendments TO the Tay-
Tor resolution and then proceeded to a
roll call on the resolution which would
deprive him of his seat pending the in
vestigati@-i by the special committee,
Roberts picked up his books and papers
and FASTENED to the cloakroom and thence
left the building for his hotel. Not a
man among the 1856 Representatives held
out hand Of friendship or said good-by.
He passed out of the capitol practically
unnoticed, except by the curious, who
simply regarded him as. the man whose
case has been attraetirg national atten-
ton for six months.skg|

The John M. Smyth Co. Have Nc
Agents.

The well-merited popularity of tn
great mail order establishment of the
John Nj. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to
have induced INSCRIPTIONS parties to go
through the country and falsely represent
themselves as sales agents for this house.
BY thus representing themselves they
have succeeded in imposing upon many
by selling goods and taking cash and
notes from victims who actually believed
they were purchasing goods from the
representatives of the firm direct. The
John NJ. Smyth Co. have no agents and
denounce as frauds all parties travelling
through the country and claiming to rep
resent the firm. The public should be on
the lookout for such impostors.

RACINE COUPLE SHOT,,
Burglar Severely Wounds Rev. DIR. and
Mrs. David Il. Cheney.

Burglar Severely Wounds Rev. DIR. and
Mrs. David b. Cheney.
The Rev. DIR. ID. Il. Cheney was shot
down in his home at Racine, Wis.,, by an
unknown assassin. Mrs. Cheney was
also shot. The minister was shot through
the breast and groin. Mrs. Cheney was
shot in the throat, the bullet lodging In
the larynx.
The shooting took place at 10 o'clock in
the morning. The murderer fed, and
was last seen near the western limits
of the city, A posse was at once organ
lied and started in pursuit. There were
many threats of lynching should the muir
derer be captured.
The crime was one of the most desper-
ate ever committed in the State. Both
victims were shot twice, it being the evil
dent object of the man to kill rather than
to rob. Mrs. Cheney heard a noise in
the second story of the house. Going to
the hallway, she met man coming down
the stairs. The man suddenly drew a
revolver and ordered her to throw up her
hands. Mrs. Cheney screamed and the
man fired, the bullet taking effect in Mrs.
Cheney's neck As she fell the man de-
liberately fired second time, the bullet
grazing the head of his victim. DIR. Che
ney was. in the library at the time, and
hearing screams he rushed into the hall.
He grappled with his wife's assailant and
attempted to overpower him. The man,
however, used his revolver. DR.. Cheney
fell. He was found suffering from a
wound in the groin and another through
his breast. just below the heart.
Several persons saw the assassin run
from the house, but no attention was paid
to him and not until nearly an hour later
did it become known that DIR. Cheney
and his wife had been severely wounded
by burglar.
