TOR CLEANER CURRENCY.
Representative Fowler's Bill for the
Exchange of Worn-Out Money.

Representative Fowler has introduced
bill to provide for clean currency. Tne
measure enables any person or corporation
10 send worn-out or mutilated currency TO
the treasurer of the United States by reg
istered mail and to receive in exchange new
Tinted States currency, without postage or
registration charges either way. The bill
also appropriates 100000. or so much as
NAV be necessary, to enable the Secretary
of the Treasury under his authority to pay
for the transportation of all worn-out and
mutilated currency from the subtreasuries
and fiscal agents of the government and
the return to them of new notes in ex-
change.
Mr.. Fowler said today, in discussing this
bill:
''The people have evidently come to a
point where they are going to demand clean
currency. Through the redemption Of bank
notes, for which the national banks pay, our
bank-note currency Is purged and kept
clean. Upon investigation | find that from
1863 to 1875 the government by paying
transportation charges upon WORKOUT and
mutilated money kept ii purged and clean.
During this period of thirteen years about
rs per cent of the circulation was redeemed
annually, thus virtually renewing the whole
volume of United States currency every
four years. No appropriations were made
after March 1. 1876, until for the fiscal
years 1882 and 1888. when $50, 900 and S4S,-
1873 We're respectively appropriated. Since
1888, however. the WORKOUT and mutilated
United States issues sent to the treasury
for redemption have been at the expense
of the sender both ways"

HARD COAL OUTLOOK
NO DECISION REACHED RE-
GARDING A STRIKE.

The recent conference of coal miners ana
operators at Indianapolis had nothing to
do with the anthracite coal situation. Ii
regarded only the rate of pay Tor miners
of soft coal But coal operators through
out the country are awaiting with intense
interest the outcome of the conference be-
tween the anthracite presidents and Presl-
dent Mitchell and his committee IN New
York city on the 10Th instant, at which
time Il . miners will formally present their
demands upon which the next agreement
wage will be made.
President Baer and E. T. Stotesbury, a
director of the Reading Company, went TO
New York today on their regular weekly
trip. for a conference with President
Thomas of the Lehgh Valley, President
Truesdae of the Lackawanna, President
Underwood of the Erie and President New
man OF the New York Central lines. The
object OF their meeting is to discuss what
concessions, If any, shall be made to Pres
ident Mitchell and his associates when the
demands are made next week.
Mr. Mitchell is expected to return to the
anthracite region the latter part OF this
week for a further conference with the
thirty-two men composing his committee,
which was appointed at the recent Sna-
nokin convention. If the operators decline
the demands at the New York conference
a call for another convention will be issued
by President Mitchell for some time in
March. This convention will receive the
committees report and vote on the strike
order
The convention will include the three an
thracite districts. District No. l has it's
headquarters in Scranton and T. D. Mich

dent is w Fl. Dettrey. District No. 8 has

Is president. The same delegates to the
Shamokin convention will attend the con-
yention in March. This will be held either
In Hazelton or Wilkesbarre
The committee was present at the recent
Indianapolis convention, and Is In close
touch with the demands made by the BIZ
luminous miners of the central competi-
tive district strike order for the hard
coal. field will require approval Of the
March convention, but the soft coal miners
cannot be called out until the order is
given by thu executive committee of the
United Mine Workers Association.
1t is asserted that a bill has already been
drawn and will be presented to Congress at
an early date providing that the duty on
coal be removed for period of one year
from April / next in the event of a gem
eral strike among the coal miners. 1t is
understood that President Roosevelt favors
the measure, but that he desires 1t to be
withheld until all other efforts to settle
the coal difficulty fall.

REFoRmERs APPEAL TO COURT.

on SUNDAY.

CHICAGO, February @. = Corporation
Counsel Lewis made hurried trip to
Springfield last night in the hope of per-
suading the supreme court of the state to
refuse 10 consider a petition for a writ OF
mandamus compelling Mayor Dunno to
close the saloons of Chicago on Sunday.
Col. Lewis was served with the petition
yesterday as well the application to the
supreme court for leave to file 1t. The lat
ter carried notice that this morning the
petition would be presented 10 the supreme
court.
The petition which asks the supreme court
to order Mayor Dunno to close Chicago
saloons on Sunday is signed by ten citizens,
headed by the Rev. William A. Bartlett. 1t
states that the petitioners are citizens of
Chicago, interested in the good name of the
city and the maintenance OF law and order
therein and in particular are interested
in securing the observance of and obedience
to the laws of the state requiring the clos
ing on the first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, of all tipplng houses or
places where liquor is sold or given away"
The statement is made that 1t is matter
of common knowledge that the majority OF
these saloons are open on Sundays in the
face of the state law forbidding II and that
Mayor Dunno has made no attempt to
stop 1t.

A RUSSIAN FIGHTER.
Resisting Efforts at New York for
Extradition.

Renewed efforts were made by the Sc
yesterday to take back to Russia as a
prisoner Felix Gaidss. a Russian fugitive,
who arrived there few days ago. Gaidsls
c.aims that his political opinions are the
only ground for charges against him, and
that he fed from Russia to escape DEATH
This claim was given the sembIance OF
truth yesterday by the United States immi-
grafton authorities, who. after holding
Gaidsis a prisoner for several days while
investigating charges of endorsement
brought against him by the st. Peters
burg secret police, set him free with the
privilege of entering the United States.
Immediately after his release, however,
Caflsis was rearrested by the United States
marshal upon fresh charges from st. Pc
tersburg These latter charges aliege that
he stole 1890 rubles, or about 2,100. from
a Russian merchant. Gaidsis hired law
yer and prepared to fight the Russian au-
thorities in the courts of this country. His
LAWYER has stated that Gaidsis was until
recently in the Russian army, and that he
was compelled to fee from his country be-
cause of his friendship for Gen. Evegeni
Iamanski, who, the lawyer said is him.
self a fugitive from Russia because of his
radical opinions.
The warrant upon which Gaidsts was ar
rested yesterday was issued by the acting
secretary of state at Washington. pursuant
to the extradition treaty between Russia
and the United States. The prisoner was
arraigned before United States Commits
sIoner. Shields and held until today. when
the Russian consul general at New York
city will appear against him.
