Bill VIII Become n Law.

Hanna, chairman of the monetary commit
tee, returned from Washington at noon to-
day He witnessed the passage OF the bill
yesterday. Asked for an expression he re-
piled;
"Of course | am gratifed. There has
been no doubt of the fate OF the bill in the
house for some time, but the splendid vote
by which it carried was even better than
we expected. Everything went just as we
wanted it to.
What about the status OF the bill?"

OF course, by no such vote as the house gave
it. We have promises that some of the
democrats will vote for 1t there, The death
OF Senator Hayward Of Nebraska and the
appointment of Populst Allen in his place
robs us of one vote. But it will get through

GERMANY SHORT OF BULLION
Financial Position of Imperial Bank
Has Never 1cen So Strained

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-The Reichsanzeigel
publishes the following statement:
AT the meeting of the central committee
of the Bank of Germany today Herr Kok, q
director discussing the question, said the
financial position of the bank had never
before been so strained at the same period
of the year and that the stock of bullion
has become seriously diminished, being 81,
900 marks less than in 1898.
After giving other figures showing the
| difficulties of the situation he said it had
! been Impossible to avoid an increase irr-th;.
| bank rate. DIR. Won Miguel, Prussian min
| lister of finance, has just submitted to En-
peror William a special report regarding
Prussia's finances from 1897 to 1899 The
report the whole is favorable, showing
| a diminution of the Prussan debt. The
| interest on the debt has diminished from
242, 900 900 marks to 221,OO0,OOO marks"
| The state railways have, despite the very
heavy traffic, made less profitable show
ing, the surplus now being 449, 900 900 marks,
as against 46S, 100000 marks in 1896.
In Count Won Buelow's budget speech last
week occurred a passage indicating Ger
many's need of a number of points
d'uppui" and coaling stations for the Ger
many navy. This passage was purposely
worded cautiously, the meaning being some
what veled so as to not attract the sus
picions of other nations, but there is the
best authority for the statement that Ger
many's aims, during the next few years, will
be earnestly directed to the acquisition OF
number of such points in parts of the
world where German war vessels in time
of hostility would need them, most partcu-
larly in the far east, the Antilles, Central
America, South America and Polynesia.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
is also assured the dement, of the reported
German negotiations for the purchase of
the Danish West Indies, while literally cor
rect, is in a sense an evasion. Germany
really desires St Thomas, because with the
frequent disturbances in the Central Ameri-
can republics by which German property al
ways suffers largely and with the Nicaragua
canal once completed, a coaling station
nearby will become highly necessary.
Germany, however, has been restrained
from entering into negotiations with Den
mark for the purchase of st. Thomas out
which formerly opposed such German ac-
QUESTION there. She is now trying to as
certain whether the American objections
still continue. II assured that they do not she
will begin negotiations.
Emperor William is said to exhibit the
keenest personal concern regarding the war
in South Africa, especially the fate of the
British troops Each day he receives dis
patches showing the latest losses, and these
he communicates to the German princes
who like himself have blood ties with Eng
land.

ENGLISH ROB THE DEAD BOERs
Philip Koch, Nephew of General
Koch. Tells of Wholesale Rob-
berry on the Battlefield.

! Copyright 1899, by Press Publishing Co.
/ LONDON, Dec. 19.-(New York worlt
Cablegram-Specal Telegram. Wv. 4. STEAD
in letter to the Daily News tells the story
Of Philip KOCH a nephew of General Koch
in regard to the latter's experience al
Elandslaagte:
THE first of the wounded happened on
was General Koch. He lay in small tent
entirely naked. He told me that an English
soldier had come to him and robbed him
of all the money that was in his trousers
pockets of his watch and CT all his clothes
excepting one coat. he also informed me
that this person said that he belonged to the
Indian troops.
THE general was covered by thin
blanket and lay on small wet mattress.
Although General Koch was severely
wounded and Major Allthorn had promised
that he should be allowed to return TO
Pretoria, where he would be well nursed.
General White refused to allow him to leave
Ladysmith as the retention Of a general
officer of his rank and distinction as a pris-
oner of war is of considerable value to the
state.
General White represented that General
Koch died ten days after receiving his
wound, on October 81 His nephew saws his
death was caused not so much from the
wound he received as in consequence of the
treatment he suffered in the first instance"
Philip Koch, according to Mr. Stead be-
sides his statement as to the way in which
his uncle was treated. makes specific state
ments as to plunder of the wounded and
robbing of the dead. Young Koch said:
Not alone were General Koch and per-
sons mentioned above robbed Ct their clothes.
watches and money, but also others on the
battlefield. l saw the remains of Assistant
Commandant Dodenstein Landdrost of
Krugers Dorp. He had received bullet
in the left breast, which pierced his heart.
He had been robbed OF his telescope and the
rings had been taken from his fingers and
all his money was gone.
II also saw the remains OF Piet Blignaut-
sen. His boots, watch, money and snuff box
were gone. From the body of Willie
Preitorius, the revenue collector at Johannes
burg, were taken all the money and rings
from his fingers From Servaas de Wet, who
was only wounded in the left leg, ring and
money were taken"
Philip Koch concludes his declaration by
saying:
"As far as l can see our burghers can
expect no Christian and civilized treatment
rom the English. So far their treatment
of us has been of nature / should be
ashamed to apply to a Kaffir."
