FIRE UNDER GAGE.
It Has Been Started in the House by
Mr.. Sulzer.

Washington, Jan. An the house to-
day Mr.. Payne, chairman of the com
mtttee on ways and means, presented
the Sulzer resolution as modified by the
committee for immediate consideration.
The resolution as modified is as follows:
Resolved, That the secretary of the
treasury be and he is hereby requested
to furnish the house of representatives
the following information:
First-COpies of all letters, agree
ments, papers or documents, between
the treasury department of the United
States, or any person connected there
with and the National City Bank and
the Hanover National Bank of the city
of New York, or any person acting for
them, or either of them, since the
fourth day of March, 1897, relating to
the depositing of public funds, bonds
or revenues in said bank or banks, or
any other relations or business transac-
lions now existing, or heretofore had
between the government and the said
banks, or either of them
Second-The amount of public money,
bonds or revenue deposited with said
bank, or either of them, or with any
national bank by the government upon
what security, for what length of time
and the reasons therefor, and whether
said banks. or any of them, have paid
the government any interest on said de-
pOsits, and If SO how much, and all
other information concerning the same,
or in any way relating thereto.
Third, and also the date of the sale
of the custom house property of the
United States in New York city to said
National City Bank, the date of the ex-
ecution of the deed thereto, the date
and manner of payment of the pur-
chase money therefor, the disposition Of
the proceeds of the said sale and wheth-
er or not the government has paid any
rents for the said property, or any por-
ton thereof for any purpose since the
day of sale and if so to whom and all
facts relating to the said transaction.
Mr.. Sulzer arose after the presenta-
ton of the resolution and said he would
accept the amendments.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader
asked for five minutes, which he desired
to yield to Mr.. Levy (Dem. N. W.
The request was complied with and Mr..
Levy offered an amendment to the
resolution, which included a request for
the secretary's reasons for delaying the
deposits in national banks until the
panic had occurred. Mr. Levy said he
had warned the secretary in September
that a panic was imminent Had the
secretary needed that warning and de-
posted government funds in national
banks in September or October, instead
of buying bonds the panic would have
been averted.
The amendment was promptly ruled
out Of order and the. resolution as offer
ed by Mr.. Payne was adopted.
Then at 1890 p. m. the house ad-
journed until Monday.

ALL FOR M'LAURIN.
Nominated For o. s. Senator Without
Opposition.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 4.-TheDemocra
of the state legislature held a caucus
last night and renominated Ansel NJ. J.
McLaurin, whose term as governor will
soon expire for the long term in the
United States senate.
The total membership of both houses
is 178 and 120 members were present at
the caucus. 1t is more than probable
that the name of Private John AL
len, who has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the senatOrship, will not be
presented.
During McLaurin's term as governor,
Senator Walthall died, leaving nearly
three years unexpired term. Governor
McLaurin appointed Senator w. v. Sui
Ivan to fill the vacancy between the
death of Senator Walthan and the
meeting of the legislature. After the
appointment of Senator Sullivan, Gov
ernor McLaurin became a candidate for
the senatorial term to succeed his ap-
pointee.
The contest for the short term sena-
torship is an open question. There were
several caucuses of Sullivan men to-
day. The claim put forth by them sew
eral days ago was that their man
would have a majority of %. At a late
hour last night Senator Sullivan's sup
pOrters claimed he would receive a ma
jority of one on joint ballot.
It is believed Sullivan will have a
hard fight to win.

AL RODGERS DUPED.
He Was Not Elected Royal
Prophet of Pyramids.

The royal temple of the Ancient Or
der of the Pyramids is now threatened
with serious trouble with it's Topeka
lodge, which is one of it's largest or
CARNATIONS. and a portion of the mem
bers are preparing to go to other orders
The Topeka lodge has been anxious to
take some action for some time, but
has hesitated doing 50, and recent de-
velopments in the management of the
order have determined part of the
members to act independently.
The contention has been that the
royal temple" was too much of a fam
lily affair-that E. S. McClintock and
members of his family were a majority
of the executive council and according
were given the power to hold the offices
for life and fix their own salaries.
When f. s. McClintock resigned a few
weeks ago as noble prophet, the head at
the order, it was the understanding that
A X Rodgers would be elected by the
executive council to fill the vacancy.
The council met at Kansas City last
Saturday to fill the vacancy, and Mr.
Rodgers, who is a member of the coun-
ell, was present but for soma reason
or other the election was postponed I'M
til Wednesday. Late Monday night Mr..
Rodgers received a telegram informing
him that the council would meet on
Tuesday, but it was then too late for
LltIl " ODldll IedNe u dDSSuc6 from the
pOstoffice. The council met in Mr..
Rodgers absence, but instead of elect
ing him to the vacancy, E. B. Pfost, of
Kansas City, Kan, was elected.
Pfost was a high man in the Knights
and Ladies of the Fireside, and he is
charged by some of his enemies with
being responsible for the wreck of that
order. The place carries with it a sal
airy of 800 a month, as do all of the
royal temple offices. Pie members OF
the executive council also receive a sal
airy of $50 a month, and it is said that
Mr.. Rogers has a years salary due him
as a member of the council, which he
has never drawn.
While E. S. McClintock retires as
royal prophet, it is charged that the
executive committee has continued him
on the pay roll by creating the office of
past prophet and founder with a
salary attachment.

Thrilling Ride of Passengers
on the C. & 6. w.
A Mile Run Down a Steep Grade
to Tunnel.
AIR WOULDN'T WORK.
and Fireman Jump
and Are Hurt.
Many of the Passengers Follow
ed Their Example.

Chicago, Jan. IA special to the.
Chronicle from Galena, Ill, says:
Travellers on Chicago Great Western
passenger train had a thrilling ride and
a narrow escape from death at Galena
Junction today. To avoid death the en-
gineer and fireman of the passenger
train jumped just as their engine crash
ed into the rear of a disabled freight
train standing in a long tunnel. So
great was the force of the collision that
the passenger engine bounded back and
before the engineer or fireman could
climb aboard the engine they were go
ing down a steep grade at the mouth Of
the tunnel The conductor was unable
to use the air and the train had run Il
mile and was within a hundred feet of
a stationary freight train when stop
ped. Many of the passengers jumped
while others sought safety in the front
coaches. The wrecked cars and the ca
boose in the tunnel caught fire and
were destroyed. The engineer and fire.
man of the passenger train were both
injured.

SERVICE EXTENDED.
Weather Forecasts to Be N ore Widely
Distributed In the West.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 4.-The Ma
tiOnal Live Stock association, with the
assistance of o. z. Brandenberg, resi-
dent director of the weather bureau at
Denver, has just secured an order from
Washington, which is of considerable
Importance to the live stock men of the
west. A letter received by the secretary
of the association by Mr.. Brandenberg,
says:
Pursuant to your understanding I
took up in the interest of the live stock
men the matter of change IN the regu-
latiOns governing the issue of special
warnings and am pleased to say that
Professor Wills L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, has issued instructions
to the effect that emergency or special
warnings be issued when prolonged
spells of abnormally cold weather, high
northerly winds, winds with snow, or
heavy falls of snow, are indicated for
any section, and that special warnings
also be issued when unreasonable or
abnormally heavy rains are indicated
for any section
Heretofore these warnings have been
restricted to a few settled points in each
state. 1t is, therefore, very gratifying
to know that in the future kilograms
conveying information of the above de-
scribed character will be sent to no
fewer than 102 points in Colorado and
proportionate number of points in Wy
oming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, North
and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas
and Texas"

standard and make it clear to the world
that we intend under all circumstances
to keep all forms of our currency equal
in value with gold, and it would be
source of national pride if we could, in
addition to this great achievement. place
the credit of the United States on a high
er plane than is occupied by that OF any
other country.
"One of the principal reasons which led
the committee to recommend this plan OF
conversion was that the bonds suggested
would be much more desirable as a basis
for national bank note circulation, than
the outstanding securities 1t is the duty
OF congress in the public interest to so
give to banking associations, an oppor-
tunity to issue currency with a reasonable
profit. If the provisions of this bill are
enacted into law, we may expect a con-
note circulation in the near future and
there is no reason. if the business of the
country demands it why in time the out
standing circulation should not equal the
capitalization of the banks.
THE seventh section provides that upon
the deposit of United States bonds by any
national banking association in the man
ner provided by law, such association
shall be entitled to receive circulating
notes equal to the par value of the bonds
deposited. 1t also provides that any nat
ional banking association now having
bonds on deposit shall be entitled to the
same privilege.
The eighth section provides that any
national banking association having on
deposit as security for it's circulating
notes bonds of the United States bearing
interest at per cent per annum shall
pay a tax upon such circulating notes of
stead of the tax of per cent now impos-
ed by law. We believe this reduction in
taxation is necessary to encourage nat
lOnal banks to increase their circula ton
and 1t will undoubtedly have the effect
of promoting the conversion of bonds pro-
