AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The statement of the New York bands, published yesterday, proves that the liquidation of last week has bad It's nec- essary effect. The statement shows a gain in specie and a slight loss in legal tenders, but the salient change is the reduction of s1S0O0,OO0 in loans and the accompanying one of s12,O00.OOO in de- posits. In other words. the overgrown volume of loans and deposits has been liquidated to an extent which reduces the reserve requirements s4000,000 and changes the deficiency below the legal limit of last week to a slight surplus this week.
 It is probable that for the greater part of the fall the same closeness of the money market will continue, and the pro- cess of liquidation must go on. But it is pertinent to remember that the sole cause for stringency has been the em- ployment of the large accumulation of money in loans for the carrying of pro- motion jobs and speculative lines. The only reason why the stringency was more sharp than in 1900 and 1901 is that the loans for this purpose have been larger. And as a matter of fact and justice the only persons who have felt or are likely to feel it are the specula- tors.
 Under those circumstances attacks on our currency system or the treasury ad- mnistration for this little squeeze are decidedly irrelevant. The trouble has been slight, and is not likely to be seri- ous; but whatever it is or may develop into is wholly due to speculative ex- cesseS.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
from the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 It takes only will power to face your mother-in-law. but 1t takes heroic forti- tude to love her pets.
 When a girl refuses to give a man she is flirting with her photograph, it is a sign 1t does not fiatter her.
 What could have been the use of Eyes wearing clothes when there were no other women to be jealous of them?
 You can always make a woman believe you love her if you can keep on saying it without letting her see how tired it makes you to do 1t.
 It takes a woman to let a man look her over as if she were a piece of statuary and pretend she didn't know he was in the same room with her.

bic Committee RepOrt on Bill
for Maintenance of Their Parity.

Washington, January 9.-The first fl
nancial measure of Importance to be re-
ported to the house is that agreed upon
today by the committee on coinage,
weights and measures, providing for
the maintenance Of the legal tender sill
yer dollar at parity with gold and for
the increase of the subsidiary silver
coinage. The measure was introduced
by Representative Hill, of Connecticut.
At the meeting of the committee today
Mr.. Hill urged immediate action in or
der that the bill might be brought be-
fore the house at an early day. This
was opposed by the democratic men,
merits and, in particular, protested
against what they alleged to be undue
haste.
The committee then ordered the bill
reported, the vote being on party lines.
The bill authorizes the coinage of sub
sidiary silver coin without regard 10

uuire. The most important feature OF

washington, January S.-The senate
committee on military affairs today
unanimously agreed upon a report on
the case making charges against Lieu
tenant Colonel Heisland, of the army.
and the report was presented TO the
senate bv Senator Cockrell as snon as
that body convened. The report con-
tains a concise statement OF the tacis
in the case brought out by the inqully
and casts no reflection upon any OF the
officers OF the government whose names
were mentioned in connection with the
case.
The report cites the charges quoted
in the resolution OF inquiry for the pur-
pose of controlling the hemp product
of the Philippine islands and that the
names OF Assistant Secretary Allen and
Adjutant General Corbin had frequent
iy been mentioned by him as associated
with him in the enterprise
The committee finds that this charge
is not true.
With regard to the second charge. in
yolving government officials. the COM
mittee finds that HeiSland and Hawks
ranvasSed the possibility of interesting
those whose names are mentioned in
ihe resolution. The committee also
finds that Hawks made u claim upon
Heisland for compensation for services.
but the charge that AssiS ant Secretary
Meiklejohn guaranteed to Hawks a
position in the government service III
part settlement OF this claim is not sus-
tanned by the committee. but II is found
that Meiklejohn did in March, 1900. APP
point Hawks to the position Of inspec-
tor of customs service in the Philip
pines, but that this appointment was
eV0ke nv Secretary Root in the Nav
following.
Other findings are: That while HeiS-
land was the protector of the Hemp
Company he was not authorized To rep
resent the other government officials
who were engaged with him. tn
matter of the adjustment of the tariff
was never mentioned directly or indi-
rectly by Colonel Heisland to General
COrbin. Assistant Secretary Meikleiohn.
Assistant ATTORNEY General Bovd or As
asked General Corbin to take stock and
that the latter first assented and then
declined.
The committee finds that the letter
Of commentator of Hawks of date july
13. 1899. signed jointly by Colonel Heis-
land. Assistant A tornev General
Boyd and Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john was not signed officially by these
officers and also that the words the
government will look with favor on the
same meaning the enterprise. were not
in the correct copy of that letter.
