yest,gste the Secretary OF the Treas
ury's Relations with Banks,

Washington, Jan. l3-Mr. Catchings
(Mass.) was sworn in as member at
the opening session of the house
Mr. Sulzer On. W then presented for
immediate consideration resolution
for the appointment of special com
mittee of nine members to investl-
gate the relations of the secretary
of the treasury with certain New
York national banks, and the transac-
ton relative to the sale OF the New
York custom house. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.)
objected on the ground that the reso-
luton should go through the box in
the regular way.
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.), the minor
ity leader, called attention to what
he claimed was an infraction OF the
rules of the house in the print OF the
shipping bill. Appended,to it was a
partisan argument by ex-senator Ed
munds which had no business there
and made it non-frankable doc
ument. After some discussion it was
agreed that the bill should be reprint
ed without the argument attached IN
the present bill. The house then,
adjourned until Monday.

BRYAN,s BELIEF.
He Says Wherever There Ii People In
telligcnt Enough for This Republic
They should BE Taken In.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. lin an
interview yesterday W. j. Bryan said:
Il am firm believer in the enlarge
ment and extension of the limits OF
the republic. | do not mean the ex-
tel sion by the addition OF contigu-
Gus territory, nor to limit myself to
that. Wherever there is a people in
tellgent enough to form part OF
this republic, it is my belief that they
should be taken in. Wherever there
is people who are capable OF having
a voice and a representation in this
government, there The limits Of the
republic may be extended. The FIJI
ipinos are not such people. The dem
ocratic party has ever favored the
extension of the limits of this repub-
lie. but it has never advocated the

M'c0Y.cHOYNsKlF FIGHT.


New York, Jan. l3.-"Kid' Mccoy
got the decision over Joe Choynski
in bout which lasted three rounds al
the Broadway Athletic club last
night. Choynski would have had the
fight in the second round were it
not for an accident as to timekeeping
He had floored the Kid four times
but the timekeeper pulled the bell
as Mccoy was counted for the limit
of ten seconds and this saved the
Kid from absolute defeat. Choyn-
skis seconds protested vigorously
but Referee Johnny White, wh;.s
knowing that the round was short by
many seconds, stood by the official
timekeeper and ordered the men to
continue when the gong rang again
for the opening of the third round
Mccoy having escaped defeat in
the second round was again lucky in
the third, as the blow with which
he sent Choynski down and out was
delivered almost two seconds after
the bell had rung for the completion
Of the third round.
Col. Mike Padden, timekeeper for
Mccoy, said afterwards that the
round was clipped by forty seconds;
that Mccoy was groggy and practl-
cally out when the gong rang.
After the bout Choynski and Me-
Coy signed articles to meet again
under the same conditions, the bout
to take place at the Broadway Ath-
letic club on February 20.

still much of the usual hesitation.

Cotton moves so slowly that belief
in very short crop is constantly

exports had decreased 1,725,000 bales

BRIToNs AFRAID OF RIVALS.
Favors and Trade Not Coming Their
Way So Rapidly as in
the Past.

The British people are desperately
again in the old cop A.try, but they
would prefer even more to know that
the fastest mail steamer on the At
lantic had her home in the docks of the
Mersey, says London newspaper.
Competition is becoming remorseless;
the days of monopoly are receding
swiftly into the past. Not many years
ago such an angry outcry as that which
was raised at the statement that great
engineering contracts in connection
with the railways of South Africa had
been placed in the United States would
have been impossible British iron and
steel makers would have laughed in
credulously at the suggestion that their
American rivals could produce work
more cheaply and more quickly than
themselves. There is no such laugh
ter to-day.
The British public have not forgotten
that it is an American bridge which
crosses the Atbara ana that it was
placed there by American engineers,
because no British firm could guar
antee its completion within six months
of the time specified on the other side
of the Atlantic Whatever the reasons
were, the fact remains-a standing re-
minder that the race is to the swift.
When the huge contracts for South
Africa come to be placed, will it be
found that any OF the leeway has been
made up?

Free Rural Delivery
Postmaster General Smith.

dard of intelligence is raised and bet
ter citizenship follows. The cost of
extending the rural service is estimated
at 81 per capita. There are now 1,176
routes, covering 3O.756 square miles. at
a cost of $3.50, 76O, or an average OF
$21.16 per mile. The present cost per
county is $15,S0O per year. The rural
service has made a decided increase in
revenue and there would be an e5ti-
mated saving of S5,000000 in salaries Of
fourth-class postmasters and the dis
continuance of the star route service.
The estimated annual cost of maintain
ing rural free delivery throughout the
United States will be about $14 900,
which, It is said, can be saved in the
expense of carrying second-class mail
matter if congress will amend the law.

WHEN JAMES 1, WAS KING.
Salaries That Have Grown and Berths
'rhat Have Vanished Since
Els Death.

The new volume of the historical
manuscripts commission, relating to
the manuscripts of Lord Montagu of
Bealieu, contains some interesting
tables of the salaries paid to public
officials about 16O7-OS
The lord treasurer of England took
a salary of G 365, with rs extra for
livery; the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, e26, and e12 for livery.
Now the first lord of the treasury
gets & 5000 and the chancellor 5000.
The lord chancellor of England had
very fat berth, embracing fee of
23s. a day, G2OO for attendance in
the star chamber, C 300 annuity, e41
for clothes, two tuns of wine, and an
odd G72 from somewhere or otlter.
The lord chief justice took G24s.
At that time there were various in
teresting low offices that have now,
unfortunately, quite disappeared, such
as clerk of the hamper, the prothon-
otary, the chatter of wax. the crier
and the ioyners of the tales, says the
London Daily Mail The latter office
must have been extremely underpaid
at $40 year. The lord admiral re-
ceivcd 1873 as pay and e 200 for food.
The "clarJee of the storehowse at
Dettford strand" received C 32 lbs. 4d.
a year and was allowed one clerk at
Is. day. The royal "surgians" got
$50 apiece, "phisitians" C 100 apiece
and apothecaries e2 lbs. 4d apiece.
There were also full staffs of Off
cials for pantry, buttery, larder,
kitchen, scuNery, beds, bakehouse,
spicery, confectionery, pastry, pitch
erhouse, chaundry, laundry, cellar,
