CREDIT CURRENCY BILL.
HOUSE COM MITTEE WILLyMAK L
 A FAVORABLE REPORT.
Measure But Slightly Different From That Advocated by the American Bankers Association-No Change in Provision That National Banks May Also Take Out Future Amount of National Bank Guarantee Credit Notes.

Notes.
 | Washington, Dec 1S.-The house
 committee on banking and currency
 decided to-day to make favorable re-
 port on a credit currency bill which is
 but slightly different from the measure
 advocated by the American Bankers association. Ten republicans attended
 the committee meeting to-day and all supported the measure agreed upon,
 while the four democrats present op- posed it.
 In the bill advocated by the bankers 1t was provided that tax of 25b per centum should be paid by national banks on credit currency equal to 25 per centum of their capital. The com mittee increased the tax on such bank notes to per eentum. No change was made in the provision that national banks may also take out further amount of national bank guaranteed credit notes equal to 121a per centum of it's capital, with interest at the rate of , per centum.
 Another change of importance made by the committee is one providing that national banking associations desiring to take out credit notes and having notes outstanding in excess of 6218 per centum of their pald-up capital may re- deem such excess without reference to the limitation of SS,O00OO0 each month prescribed by the act of July 12, 1882.
 The bill as reported extends the priv ilege of issuing credit currency only to national banking institutions which have been in business for one year and have a surplus equal to 20 per centum of their capital. The national bank guaranteed credit notes authorized by the bill may be taken out for issue without a deposit of United States bonds, as now required by law. The notes will be of form and denomina- tions designated by the comptroller of the currency.
 If the measure be passed as reported by the house committee every national bank meeting the requirements of the bill will be permitted to issue emer- gency or credit currency in the sum of $37 800 for every $1OO,O0O of it's capital. It is maintained by the supporters of the bill that it will afford sufficient in the currency to relieve the pressure for money which occurs at time and in great emer- Bankers estimate the amount of additional currency which the meas ure would afford at $2OO 100000.

UNPLEASANT AND UNDESIR-
 ABLE

The Canadian Yukon's official repre- sentative in the legislature of his coun- try will pass through Skagway this week to his federal capital, where he will participate in all matters of law making, voting upon all questions that come up, whether concerning his ter ritory or the Dominion. Alaska, the American country of the north which almost envelops the Canadian Yukon, which is five times as populous, pro duces three times as much wealth, the welding resources of which are not con- fined to one industry and which has teeu settIeI many times as long, is still unrepreseuted at the capital of it's na- tion. But to go further, Dr. Thomp- son will leave behind him a territorial council, the majority of whose mem bers are elected by the people, which has control over local regulations and which fixes taxation and expends the funds. Iu spite of all this, one of the most important things that will occupy the attention of Dr. Thompson will be his efforts to secure wider measure oi selt-government for his constituents.
 The condition is not one that will cause imitation of American pride. It is a condition that would cause one to for-et that Yukon territory is an ap' bondage of the colony of a monarchy, while Alaska owes allegiance to re- public that was established with the right of selt-government for its corner stone,
 To say the least. this anomalous con ditiou is unpleasant and undesirable.

GOOD JOBS
Five First Class Customs Pc
 sitiOns to be Filled

There are five positions of the first class to be filled in the customs force of the district of Alaska. Incumbents for them will be selected from those who successfully pass the civil service ex- sminaiions that will be held at Juneau next month.
 One of the desirable positions in the customs service that are to be filled Is the one of deputy collector at the White Pass, formerly held by E. Finch Putnam. Several persons are being considered for this, among them G. G. Miller, of the customs force at this place, who has been looking out for the post. If Mir. Miller shall be selected for this position there will be another vacancy iu the force of inspectors at this port. Collector c. L. Hobart re- gently retureed from the south, and he will probably make lthe appointment for White Pass very soon.
 It is understood that N. E. BOshanin, who has had charge of the customs sub port at Dutch Harbor, will return to Skagway as soon as he shall be relieved St that place by D. P, Lea, formerly of Sksgwsy.

Marcus Braun, an agent of the United States government, has made lengthy report upon the conditions in Europe which lead to emigration to the United States. He says the governments ot southern and south-central Europe en- courage the movement to the United States, and that there are schools where proposed emierants are taught how to answer the questions of American inn migration inspectors. He says the out going people are urged not to become American citizens, to send to their homes all the money they possibly can spare, and to return home themselves as soon as they have a competence. The matter is being investigated by congress. Mir. Braun says Jews are the best immigrants we can get from southern Europe, because they come to make our country their country and tha. of their children.
