EDWARD [. REMME
 IS UNDER ARREST
Charged With Lending Aid to 0efauIting Bank Cashier
 Frank M. Brown

Cincinnati, January 3.-Edward c. Remme cashier of the German National Bank of Newport, Ky, was arrested today by Uni ted States Marshal Compton upon war rant issued at the instance of Bank Exam finer Tucker. Owing to the shortage of Frank M. Brown of $195,0OO as assistant cashier and bookkeper, the bank was re- gently placed in the hands of Tucker as receiver. The whereabouts of Brown are unknown and 1t was thought that there would be no prosecutions until he was found Bank Examiner Tucker says:
 "On April 26 1S99,I arranged with Cash fer Remme to examine the books of the bank privately. Remme and I were the only ones who knew of the arrangement On April 20 the books were taken to Cin- cinnau and examined in private. I have since discovered that between April % and % sixty false entries were made, covering shortage of over 5000. Some one must have informed Brown that the books were to be examined so as to give him an op- portunity to make the false entries.
 This is the basis of my affidavit against Remme.''
 Remme says:
 'I am innocent and did not know Of the Brown shortage before the directors knew it and gave Brown mo intimation of the secret investigation of the books"
 Remme has been assisting Tucker in clos ing up the affairs of the old bank and or ganizing the new one, and was at work in the bank when arrested.
 Although he has lived all his life in New fort and is well knogn on both sides of the river in prominent business circles, he was unable to secure the necessary $25,000 bail until tonight. He was held quietly and as- sisted by the officers in securing the bail. Petitions had been numerously signed by the old depositors for Reinme to be cashier of the re-organized bank, and his arrest caused surprise,

hope Is expressed that the integrity of the Chinese empire may be condition prece- dent of any settlement to which the United States is a party, and also that the great province of Manchuria shall con- tinue to be regarded as inseparabqe from the eighteen provinces of the middle king dom.
 In the negotiation of new treaty of trade and navigation the memorialists rep resent the necessity of insisting upon full heed being paid both by the imperial and provincial governments to the letter of such treaties in respect of the transit is- sued in return for stipulated payment, and intended to clear imported merchandise from all further taxation on its way to the inland markets.
 One of the principal objects and pur- poses of the association is to foster and safeguard the trade and commercial in- terests of citizens of the United States and others associated herewith in order bg others associated herewith in the empires of China, Japan and Korea and in the Philippine Islands.

THE SENATE.

Washington, January 3.-Mithouta mur- mur of dissent and without word of com ment the Senate today displaced the snip subsidy bill from it's privileged position as unfinished business" and substituted for it the army reorganization bill Since the second day of the present session the ship ping bill has been the unfinished business with the understanding it should not in terfere with the consideration of the army reorganization bill or of appropriate bills
 The consideration of the army bill to- day proceeded until o'clock-the end of the morning hour-wnen the subsidy bill was laid before the Senate. MT. Pettigree objected to a request for unanimous con- sent to continue the discussion of the army bill By vote the military measure was continued for consideration, thus making it the unfinished business and sending the subsidy bill back to the calendar. During the discussion of the army measure the opposition Senators indicated that their line of attack upon the bill would be against the creation of a large permanent standing army. There was intimation that objection would not be oIered to tenn porary measure to provide an adequate forceto maintain the authority of the United States in the Philippine

 WIN HOUSE VICTORY
Radical Element of Republicans Who Would Cut
 Down South's Representation Are Defeated

gued. could not act intelligently unless 1t was advised In what states and to what ex- tent the suffrage of citizens or the Onlteu States had been abridged MT. Olmstead said the resolution touched the dignity or the House itself
 If the suffrage had been abridged in cer- tain states, then members were unjustly and unconstitutionally holding seats upon this floor, and this constituted an 1nVasloh of the dignity of the House.
 The matter dealt with by the resolution might also affect the election of Presl- dent of the United States, matter neio to be matter of high privilege. But MT. oin- stead was willing to rest his case upon the plan mandate of the constitution.
 Simply One of Inquiry.
 Mir. Olmstead, responding, conceded that an apportionment bill was provided, but contended that the resolution atseli was simply one of inquiry ito ascertain 1acts which might or might not be true.
 'The resolution clearly recites that in certain states suffrage had been abridged without reduction of representation inter- posed MT. Olmstead.
 Whereas makes such allegation re- piled MT. Richardson, but the resolution IS simply one of inquiry.
 How can we apportion constitution ally asked MT. Mason of Pennsylvania, If we do not know the facts? How can we ascertain the truth of the allegations that hundreds of thousands of cltzens are disfranchised?'
 An investigation can be made" replied Mr Richardson, "but it must be made In the regular way"
 The Speaker said the question was clearly settled by section 3 of article IA of the con stitution, which he directed the clerk to read. It related to the reduction of repre- sentation in States where the suffrage was abridged. The resolution and its preamble. said the Speaker alleged that certain con- ditions existed which the constitution eX- pressly prohibited and it must be passed upon by higher rule than those Of the house-the constitution of the United States. He said he never expected to pass upon a question more simple. He overruled the point of order.
 MT. Underwood immediately raised the question of consideratio tion against the reso- lution. On a rising vote 1t stood ayes 6S, nays TO- The ayes mad nays were demanded and ordered The Speaker announced the vote S1 to consider the resolution, S3 against and 5 present but not voting-not quo rum. He ordered a call of the House, pend- ing which MT. Underwood again moved an adournment, which was carried " to 70, ana accordingly at 2 o'clock the House ao- journed.

CHINA MUST SIGN
 THE NOTE AT ONCE
It Seems That Acceptance of the Terms is Not Ex-
 pIicit Enough

Pekin, Jan. 3.-The foreign envoys with the exception of the British Misster, Sir Ernest Satow, met today to consider the time and place for the acceptance and signing of the joint note. Nothing definite was decided. It seems to be the opinion of some of the envoys that the acceptance of the terms of the note by the Chinese Is not explicit enough. The Chinese desire for consultations regarding the raging of the forts and the legation guards is open to misinterpretation and liable to lead to long and continuous arguments, which might, in the opinion of some of the minis ters simply mean sparring for time on the part of the Chinese.
 Consequently the Chinese plenipotentiar- les will be notified that they must sign the note before the meeting between them and the foreign envoys can be held.
 Sir Albert Satow, who has been suffering from chills and fever is better
 The military engineers of the allies have decided upon a plan for the future de- lenses of the legations.

THE MONEY INCREASE.
Most Interesting Exhibit to Mint Direc-
 tors Report.

Washington, January 3.-An increase of more than 100 per cent in the money of the world within less than a generation will be one of the most interesting exhibits of the annual report of the director of the mint. The total stock reported in 1873 was about s4,6O0, coo, 900, of which more than half was dn paper money, not fully covered by metal lie reserves. The situation at the beginning of 1900 showed a total monetary stock of about $11, ,6O0, ,0O0,000, of which only little more than one-fourth was in uncovered pa- per money. Director Roberts finds that, while the total money supply of the world has increased about $7,0OO,0O 900, the in- crease in gold money since 1873 has been about s. 600, 900 900; in silver about g. 75O,OOO- 000 and in uncovered paper only about $65,- 900 000, ,000 The quantity of silver money which was at its maximum of about $4,- 500 600, 900 at the beginning of 1s96 has since been somewhat reduced by the sale of sfl- yer by Germany, and its retirement in oth- CT countries
 The great outburst of activity in the mining of gold has resulted in supplying nearly the entire monetary needs of the world.

GEN. SLAUGHTER
 DIES IN MEXICO Famous Confederate Officer Who Captured More Yankees
 Than He Had Men

Mexico City, January 3.-Gen. James B. Slaughter, the well-known ex-Confederate leader, died at the American hospital in this city yesterday from pneumonia, aged S7 years. He was a West Point graduate, and accompanied General Scott's army to this city as lieutenant. During the civil war he rose to the rank of major-general, and was appointed from Alabama. When the war closed he came to Mexico with other prominent Southern men and re- mained several years He was the first person to make known to the Mexican gov- ernment the fraudulent character of the Well and la Abra claims and to him is due more than any other individual the return of the money to Mexico by the United States government, an act which has given the American government great prestige here.

London, Jan. 3-A special dispatch from Berlin reports that Duke Henry of Meek lenburg- -Schwern whose marraige to Queen Wjlhelmina of Holland has been announc- ed for Febr1ary ', has left The Hague in- dgnant at the tone of Parliament discus sion on the subject of his future position
 Whether this is true or not, there is no doubt there has been endless trouble con- nected with the projected marriage. Queen Wilhelmina wished Duke Henry to be created Prince Consort and have preci- dence over her mother, but she was over ruled on both points. On the other hand, her solicitude for her future husbands pe- cuniary comfort has by no means been equal to her solctude for his dignity. She has given up her original proposition to settle a large sum on him out of her pri- vate fortune and now proposes that par liament. settle. 15,000 pounds a year on him, payable if h4 survives her Duke Henry's private fortune Is inadequate for his posi- tion as Prince Consort and he will practi- cally be dependent on his spouse.
