Provisions OF the Republican Measure
Which viii Be Urged Upon the
Coming Congress.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The general
currency bill prepared by the republic
an caucus committee appointed by the
last congress has received it's final re-
vision at the hands Of the members,
and will be given to the press to-mor-
row afternoon for publication on
Wednesday after a copy has been made
to each republican representative in
congress. The measure represents the
unanimous conclusions Of the commit
tee, and will be called up for considera-
ton at the caucus Of the republican
members Of the house, which is to be
held probably next Saturday. Accom-
panying the bill is report setting
forth at length the reasons and neces-
sity, in the opinion of the committee
for the proposed legislation. The Even
ing Star to-day prints the following as
some of the chief features of the bill
and which in the main are probably
fairly accurate:
An amendment to the coinage laws,
making 255.S grains of gold 80 parts
fine, the standard coin measure.
AN amendment to the greenback
reissue act providing that these treas

THREATENED WITH FAMINE.
A short Wheat Crop in India Means
Great Suffering.

New York, Nov. 27.-Rev J. F. Abbott
of the American board of foreign mis-
sions, for IS years stationed at Bombay,
and who is now in New York. makes the
following summary of Viceroy Curzon's
report to the executive council of India
OH the famine:
The indications are favorable at Ben
gal. In Burmah there has been
bumper rice crop. These regions will
be able to export grain to the needy
western coast. Mediocre conditions are
anticipated in the South Matharia and
South Dcccan districts of the Bombay
province. the greater portion of Central
India. In this belt of country the crops
have been marked failures, but 1t is
hoped that distress will not be excessive.
The seriously affected districts comprise
$50, 900 square miles, and are inhabited by
100000 people. 1t includes about five
sixths of the central provinces. nearly
the whole of the Berars. North Deccan
and Guzurat, in the Bombay province
and South and Central Punjab, together
with the territories of large and import
ant native states in Central and Western
India. The large group Of native states
north of Bombay, the Baroda state, the
greater part of the Indore state. virtually
the whole of Rajputana, and some minor
states in Central India, are very serious
ly affected.
The area is larger than that of the
famine of 1867, but the population af-
fected is less. 1t is expected that tha
cost of the famine to the government Up
10 March, 1900, will be 100000 rupees
(about $5,O00.000), aside from advances
to agriculturists and the loss of revenue
in the affected area. Notwithstanding
what the government may be expected
to do, there will be some large classes
of the native population that may be
saved from perishing by the timely ex.
ercise of private philanthropy.
Comenting upon the situation as de-
scribed by Lord Curzon, Mr.. Abbott
says:
1.-THE recovery of the people from the
famine of 1897 has been slow. A month
ago 100000 persons were employed on re-
lief works and the number now reaches
100000. Cases of death by starvation
in Northern Guzurat were reported a
month ago. If such was the condition
thus early even in part in the famine
area, it argues sadly for the days to
come when distress will become more
general. The question will naturally
arise as to the best avenue for sending
relief. Until other relief committees are
started the missionary bodies afford or

CHARLES COGHLAN DEAD.
The Distinguished Actor Succumbs to
Gastritis at Galveston,


Galveston, Tex, Nov. 27.-Charles
Coghlan, the distinguished English ac-
tor and author, died here to-day of
gastritis, aged Sc years. He had heen
i'll in Galveston since his theatrical en-
gagement here four weeks ago His
wife was at his bedside when the end
came and is Frustrated with grief. The
remains will be shipped Immediately
to Prince Edward island. Mrs. Cogh-
lan's former home.
Mr.. Coghlan arrived in this city on
Oct. so with 1.-THE Royal Box COM
pany, but did not appear owing to ILL.,
ness. Physicians were summoned, and
it was afterward announced that he
was suffering with acute gastritis. His
condition remained unchanged until
this morning, when violent change
for the worse took place. He was born
in France of English and Irish parent
age In his early life he had mani
tested a marked fondness for the stage,
and although educated for the bar he
never followed that profession. He be-
came an actor when quite young, and
both in Europe and America He was
the author of several successful plays.
His recent dramatization of THE
Royal Box" which he presented with
his own company, was one of his most
artistic and successful ventures.
Mr.. Coghlan has recently employed
a great deal of time upon a dramatiza-
ton of Vanity Fair" which was to
have been produced by his daughter
next season, and the task was rearly
completed when his death cut it short
1t is understood that 1.-THE Royal Box
company will cancel all future dates.
The death certificate of Charles Cogh-
Ian, the English actor, assigns heart
failure superinduced by acute gastritis
as the cause of death.
Mrs. Coghlan said tonight:
Mr.. Coghlan had trouble with his
heart since boy and told me when
came on to join him here that had ne
gone on with the company he probably
would have died on the stage. Then
he was working so hard on a play fol
his daughter and had intended produc
ing several new plays this season. Fo1l1
acts of the play were completed. In
addition to writing and acting his plays
he would draw the designs of all the
costumes used and was always labor
ious worker"

Moines saloon man, who was formerly
in business at West Third and Grand,
and who lives at the northwest corner
of West Sixth and Park, charging him
with murder in the first degree. He is
accused of killing Frank c. Moody.
On the night of Sept % Moody, who
was a railroad man and who had come

was shot by Hagerman in the latter's
residence, the ball passing through the
right leg just above the ankle and
splintering the bones so that an opera
ton for amputation was necessary. He
was removed to the hospital, where ne
was kept until his death occurred, on
Oct 26.
1T appears that Moody had rented
room in the neighborhood of Sixth and
Park streets and then went down town
where he met some acquaintance and
drank good deal during the day. He
started for home and got into the nall

went around the street car waiting
room, broke piece of cement about
the size Of a child's head from the
curbing and, running north across the
campus in the direction Tilton had
driven, called out to him to stop. When
he came up to Tilton he threw the
piece of cement, which struck Tilton
on the head and killed him almost in
stantly. Wislow's story is that he
stopped Tilton. and asked him why he
objected to his pasturing his horses on
land controlled by Tilton, and that
when Tilton undertook to strike him
with pitchfork he seized the cement
and threw it at him, not intending to
kill him, but merely as measure of
defense. 1t was also urged in Win
slows defense that he was insane and
that this act was due OF his diseased
mental condition.
The state showed that there had been
trouble of long standing between Tilton
and Winslow as result of differences
growing out of the pasturing OF de-
