CURRENCY DEBATE
Wide Difference of Opinion in Senate on Railroad Bond
 Provision.
MUCH WORK IN THE HOUSE
Passport Negotiations With Russia Cause Attack on Sccre-
 tary Root.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Debate on the Aldrich currency bill was begun in the senate to-day and was followed with interest by many bankers who occupied seats in the galleries Among them was ]. Pierpont Morgan, of New York. The discussion of the measure was directed chiefly toward the pro vision for railroad bonds as a basis for emergency circulation, a wide diff ference of opinion being developed concerning the method that should be adopted in determining the valuation to he given such bonds, as well as op- position to the use of such security under any terms The bill was final ly read through and committee amendments were incorporated in the bill 1t being understood that the en- tire bill is to be subject to amendment hereafter
 The senate at 5;04 D. m. adjourned
 In the House.
 Interest in the proceedings in the house of representatives to-day attach ed to mild criticism of the president by Mir Tawney, chairman of the com mlttee on appropriations. for having. as MT, Tawney charged. appointed the inland waterways commission without authority of law The debate was on the urgent deficiency bills and grew out of the defeat of the amendment to pay John H Bankhead. now sena- tor for Alabama, for his services on the commission. The power of the president to appoint such commissions was upheld by Mir Crumpacker. of In- diana, and MT Underwood, of Ala Fhama. The house, however, refused to accept the amendment.
 In vigorous speech Mir. Harrison of New York, condemned Secretary oi State Root for his manner of hand | ling the negotiations with Russia re- gardng passports to Russian-Hebrew citizens of the United States, while MT. Lowden, of Illinois, with equal force, defended Secretary Root, say ing the negotiations would result sat. l sfactorily to Jewish citizens desiring to visit Russia.
 The Indian appropriation was dis cussed for some time and was amend. i d in several important particulars 1 Is consideration was not concluded Another of the large supply meas ures, the legislative, executive and iu. dicial appropriation bill, was reported and the house at 5:13 D. m adjourn. cd

sesS yet the legislation respecting the corporations which congress has en- acted has not been better than the legislation of the States on the same subject. The laws of congress have not secured publicity of accounts, nor prevented apitalization and watering, and no system of in spection has been established over Federad corporations The Union Pa cific railroad has a Federal charter but upon it's reorganization in 1897 it had share capital of $1S6,000, 900 which at market prices was worth 54,O00,000, showing an estimated over-ca apitalization of SS1 ,S30,0OO.
 That in times past State legisla- lures have been under the control of special interests is too true. But un- fortunately so has the congress. One evidence of it is seen in the tariffs es- tablished from time to time under the pretense of protecting labor, tariffs have been fixed not merely high enough to cover the difference in the cost of labor here and abroad but far in excess thereof and So high that the great mass of the people of this coun- try have been exploited that the privi- legged few might build up enormous fortunes"
 Dean Rogers criticised Judge Ami dor's proposal to discard the theory that the constitution always meant the same thing, and adopt the theory thai, the courts shall by construction make it mean what the people want it to mean or what the exigeneies of the occasion may seem to require it to mean. This. he said was in effect to propose that the Supreme court should have the power hy vote of five to four to amend the instrument according to their views of what it is desirable 1t should mean This he declared was a theory which found no support in judicial decisions or sound reason. He maintained the right of the courts to pronounce null and void laws passed in violation of the con stitution controverting the theory ad- vanced by Chief Justice Clark of North Carolina that in assuming to nullify legislation the courts usurped power which did not belong to them

DICKENS RECITAL.
Prank Speaicht to Give Portion of
 "Nicholas Ntckieby."

This evening. February l2, in College street hall. under the auspices of Yale university, and the New Haven I1ni- versity Extension, Frank Speaight, who has made such a success of the Die kens Recitals" in New York during the winter, will give dramatic recital of Nicholas Nicklehy
 MT Speaight occupies field singu- larly uninue and original. He has made
 the study and interpretation of the works of Charles Dickens his own life work. A compatrot of the great nov elist, he has entered the field with a gifted intelligence which he has applied religiouslv to the mastery of his sub feet and he brings here clearer pre- scntation of the creations of Dickens brain than Americans and Canadians have heretofore seen. In England Mir. Speaight has enjoyed tremendous sue cess and his interpretations are always hailed with delight.
 He clothes the familiar characters with flesh and blood so that they live again. Equally successful in comedy and tragedy. Mir Speaight sways his audience at will from laughter to tears. He is no mere reCiter. Under his touch Dickens lives again. In his own field he has achieved a success quite as distinct and original as that in the drama by the lac Richard Mansfield. He recites entirely from memory, with, out notes and without the assistance of costumes or make up. His auditors forget. after hearing him for a few minutes. that they are being enter tained by scholarly-faced young man so completely does he sink his identity in tr novel or play that he is giving his hearers

 He said as nearly as he could figure s6.000. 900 worth Of work had been done by members of the society in the state during the past year.
 He proposed that a committee be ap pointed to persuade the government to increase the appropriation which this year has been reduced for various en- gineering projects.
 Al the end he called attention to the fact that the society had lost by death three members during the past year. They were John w. Bacon, Major Pow ell and Richard Berrian.

The formula of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, so injurious to deli cate women even in small quantities when long continued.
