FOWLER BILL OMNIBUS
Chairman Of Banking Committee In
troduccs Measure AHectlna
Many Branches Of Finance.


Chairman Fowler Of the House Com. |
mittee on Banking and Currency intro. |
duced an important financial measure
framed by the committee after con.
ference extending over two months
The purpose Of the bill Is to transfer
from the Government TO the hanks the
responsibility Of protecting the neces.
sary gold reserve and the burden OF
furnishing gold for export, thereby
saving our commece from The de.
structive apprehensions growing out
Of raids upon the gold in the Treas.
ury," which can now only be re.
pleDished by tax imposed upon the
people through the sale of bonds: to
provide a currency always responsive
and adequate to the demands of trade
everywhere and to equalize and lower
the average rate of interest In all
parts of the United States; to secure
for American enterprise and Ameri.
can capital the privileges and oppor.
tunities of engaging in international
banking under national law, and so
lay foundation upon which to build
an American merchant marine: to re-
move the last vestige of doubt with
regard to our standard of value. The
measure provides for international
banking, and a division of banking
and currency Is established under a
Board of Control, instead of a single
individual in theperson OF the Comp.
troller of the Currency, as heretofore.
IL the measure should become a law
It Is believed that the national banks
will assume the current redemption
in gold coin of $3.50, 100000 of United
States notes. In consideration Of the
obligation assumed by the national
banks they will have the right dur
ing the succeeding FIVE years to issue
gradually, as business may require.
an amount of bank notes equal to 60
per centum of their paid-up and unim-
, paired capital, provision being made
also for an emergency circulation. AS
the notes are taken out for circula.
tion the banks will deposit with the
Government a guarantee fund of 5 per
centum of The amount of the notes so
issued. The national banks here.
after will be required to pay interest
upon the Government deposits at the
rate of l per centum per annum. This
per centum fund and the tax upon
the bank notes will be used to protect
| the bank notes, and the excess OF such
| taxes, with the interest on the Govern
ment deposits. will be used to pay off
the United States notes which the
banks assume to currently redeem.
The United States will be divided into
clearing house districts to facilitate
the current redemption of the bank
notes. so that the amount of notes out
standing at any time will always be
co-ordinated with the amount of trad
ing to be done, precisely as checks
and drafts reflect the amount of com
mercia work being carried on. No
bank note less than ten dollars will be
issued and the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall not issue a silver certificate
of denomination greater than five
dollars; and thereafter upon the pre-
| sentation to him of one hundred silver
dollars, or any multiple thereof. and
demand for their redemption, he
shall exchange gold coin for the same.

MISSIONARIES. ARE MASSACRED.
MAGISTRATES P0WERLESS
Chinese Boxers Take Revenge for De.
position Of Prince Tuan's Son.
Attack Missions.

Reports Of two massacres Of mis-
sionaries In China were received by
the steamer Empress of India, which
arrived from the Orient Tuesday. In
Kansu Fathers Van Mirhaeghe and
Bouagerts were murdered by band
OF Chinese. including soldiers, who at.
tackled their mission. The first
named priest was killed instantly by
q sword thrust, but the latter fingered
for five days suffering from terrible
wounds. IL Is stated that the attack
was made in revenge for the deposit
ton of the son of Prince Tuan by the
Empress Dowager at the request of
the foreign ministers. The mags-
trate of the district being friendly to
foreigners, warned the missionaries,
but the latter were attacked before
they could get to a place of safety.
The other massacre took place in
Kang.Shi, Father John Julien being
attacked while he slept and cruelty
murdered. His body was mutilated,
both hands being cut off. His two
servants were also killed. The Vic
eroy has sent troop to hunt for the
murderers. Two pirates of a band
who had captured two junks In the
West river and were guarding pris-
oners taken in the raid suffered ter
rible death. They were attacked by
a band of outlaws and the two pirates
were buried alive.

BURNED IN WRECK.
Texas Train Leaves the Track Run
ming at High Speed.

A broken rail caused a frightful
wreck on the Southern Pacific Rail.
road near Maxon station, 25 miles
west of Sanderson, Tex, Friday. Thir-
teen persons were killed outright and
2S were more or less injured. The train
left San Antonio at noon Thursday,
two and onehalf hours late, and at
the time of the accident was run
ming at high rate of speed, in order
to make up time. The road at the
point where the wreck occurred is in
rough country, the curves being
sharp and the grades heavy. 1t was
when rounding curve that the train
left the track. All the passengers
were asleep and the shock that fol-
lowed was the first intimatlon they
had OF the danger. The train was
going at such speed that the tender
and engine landed rs feet from where
they left the rails. The cars be-
hind piled up against the engine,
caught fire, and all were consumed
except the sleepers. All the injured
in the coaches just behind the express
and baggage cars were cremated. the
people in the sleepers were saved
with the assistance of the uninjured
passengers.

"Tn 1S months. or two years at

TO believe that Congress will take
speedy action on the governmental
and tariff bills. which concern the
Philippines. and that form OF gov.
ernment for tho islands. together with
the desired tariff legislation will be
put into force at very early period
During the time | was in the East I
received many inquiries in regard to
the Philippines from men who had,
or claimed to have. large financial in.
terests. There is no doubt that as
soon as Congress shall fix form Of
government and tariff matters shall
be settled there will be a large influx
of American capital Into the islands.
This can but have beneficial result
on conditions there. The way the big
fnanciers regard the Philippines Is
perhaps best illustrated by a state

Morgan, who assured me that, with

New York without any guarantee from

AMERICAN COAL IN EUROPE.
Anthracite Can Not Compete With the
English Fuel.

American coal is claimed to be a
failure in Europe. Exhaustive tests
of the Yankee fuel have been made in
Germany. Holland, Belgium, Sweden
and Denmark. Sample cargoes of
Pennsylvania anthracite imported by
the German court collier Gustav
Schulze have proved that 1t produces
20 per cent. more ashes than Welsh
coal. Attempts to utilize the Ameri-
can article by mixing 1t with Welsh
coal were equally unsatisfactory. Herr
Schulze has notified the Philadelphia
and Reading Company that unless 1t
is possible to export coal of a maxi
mum ash quality of z or per cent,
Yankee anthracite has no chance in
the European markets. Herr Schulze
is keenly disappointed. He expected
to market immense quantities and
eventually to deliver German con-
sumers from the bondage of the British
miner.
