The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity OF bogus bills, which
are 50 cleverly executed that the aver
age person would never suspect them OF
being spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by couuterfeiters for
imitation, notably the celebrated Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness and general debility. The
Bitters sets things rightin the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty Of it.
In this manner the Bitters get at the
seat of strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and debilitated. Be
ware of counterfeits when buying.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEES
Meets and Discusses Monetary and Bank
ing Measure With Secretary Gage,

Meets and Discusses a Monetary and Bank
ing Measure With Secretary Gage,
WASHINGTON, December 2.-The
Republican members of the Senate COM
mittee on finance met at the room OF
that committee to-day in accordance
with the call of the chairman, Senator
Aldrich to consider a financial bill to
be presented at the approaching ses-
sion of Congress. There were present
Senators Aldrich, Allison, Platt, of Con-
necticut; Wolcott and Burrows, Mr..
Platt, of New York, being the only abb
sentee. Secretary Gage appeared be-
fore the committee and was in consul
tation with the members until after one
o'clock He went over the general stu
alton with them, making various rec
concentrations as to the details of the
measure to be introduced. One of the
points discussed was the adwisablity of
a general refunding of the bonded debt
of the country at lower rate of inter-
est than now prevailing The indica-
tions are that a feature of this kind will
be incorporated in the Senate bill. 1t
can be definitely stated that the Senate
measure will make provision for the
maintenance of the gold standard. 1t
is also quite definitely understood that
the Senate bill will be an entirely diff
ferent measure from that prepared by
the House Republican caucus commit
tee.
1t will necessarily cover much of the
same ground, but will differ from the
House bill in phraseology and detail,
and cover some points not included in
that measure. This difference will
have the effect of requiring a confer
ence committee to settle the differences
in case both bills are passed each by its
respective house.
The proposition to refund the out
standing four per cent bonds of 1907,
and the fves of 1904, was gone over at
some length at to-day's conference.
Secretary Gage, it is understood. has
had this subject under consideration.
and it is learned that his views prac-
tically agree with those entertained by
the committee. The proposition in
voluves at least two amendments to the
National Bank act One is to reduce
the circulation tax from / to " of one
per cent, and the other authorizes the
issue of circulation of national banks
up to the par value Of bonds deposited.
There are now outstanding or the
five per cents. due in 1904 about $780,
100000, and of the tours due in 1907
about s545 100000, taking into account
those purchased by the government
under the secretary's recent offer, MAX
ing a total of 35,000.O00, which are
payable within the next seven years.
The members of the Senate finance
committee are of the opinion, which is
fully shared by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, that these bonds could be
refunded for others running for a long
period of time, bearing two per cent.
interest, and 1t is believed provision
of this kind will be incorporated in the
Senate bill before it is introduced. The
members of the committee refused TO
give out any details concerning the bill
which is to be introduced
