Washington. Jan. 16.-After two ses- sions of the senate committee on fin ance toda--, the members of the com mittee were in possession of a fair idea of what the shape of the Aldrich financial bill will be in when it is re- ported next week. It is said to be practically certain that the limit of eX- tra currency which the bill will provide for will be raised from S25O,000,000 to $500. .000, ,000 Most Of the committee believed that this figure is not too high for Q time Of emergency. The tax on emergency issues will not, it is believed. be placed higher than per cent. which the bill now provides.
 An amendment was offered by Sen ator Bailey. reducing the required pop ulation ot the county or municipality whose bonds are to figure in the cur rency issue, from 20,00O to 1e,000, and il :s expected that it will be adopted. Senator Deliver will probably offer an amendment in opposition to the railroad bond feature of the bill. It may possibly call for the entire elimi- nation of such securities. MT. Bailey will no doubt support him as he does not hesitate to let it be known that he is rot in favor of railroads being all government as security for currency issues owing to their tendency to fluctuate.

NOTIFICATION TO PRESIDENT
That Nevada Wants Troops
 at GOIdfieId
He is Informed by Tele- graph of the Adoption of Resolutions.

Carson City, Nev. Jan. 16.-At a
 meeting of the special committee of the two houses of the Nevada legisla-
 ture this afternoon, a resolution was adopted which will be presented in
 both houses tomorrow, placing a time ! limit on all bills relative to the Gold 1 field situation to Monday. Up to that period any citizen may frame a bill, or ans' union or body of men may pre- sent bill or formula that they believe to be in the interests of the state as solving the Goldfield problem. The committee will consider all such meas ures introduced. It is conceded that the bill will take the form of state Pennsylvania.
 Under the ruling of the committee. it will be impossible to present any measure before Monday.
 Word was telegraphed President Roosevelt, stating that a resolution re- questing the retention of the troops in Goldfield had passed both houses. This cannot be in force until some time to- morrow. as the resolution will have to be enrolled and signed b. the govern or.
 Considerable comment is heard on Speaker Skaggs' action in absenting himself when the joint resolution was voted on in the house. Members of the Western Federation refused to vote. this being the only opposition to the bill. It is said that both houses will adjourn tomorrow until Monday.

New York. Jan. 16.-The growing in stability of the stock market and the advanced level of prices which have been in evidence all week eliminated today in q reaction of some violence. The downward course of prices was unaccompanied by any news repre- senting a change of the condition that prevailed while prices were being ad- vanced. The early movement was CT ratic. and feverish with suspicion of manipulative measures to sustain prices. These were apparently aband- oned as the day advanced and the list gave way, Missouri, Kansas & Texas publication of earnings in November showed d shrinkage of nearly 20 per cent gross earnings. with the result that the net returns for the month were cut to less than half of those for November of last year, while the charges would leave an actual deficit for the month.

One Fifteenth of the Population of the Town Lost in the Opera House Dis aster.

BOytertOwn. Pa. Jan. 16.-This little borough which lost one-fifteenth of its population in the opera house horror on Monday night. turned today to the task of burying it's dead. Because of the condition of most of the dead the borough authorities asked the relatives to bury the dead within three days. All night scores worked in the mOrgues preparing the bodies. As early as , o'clock a long line of dead wagons moved there and about town distrib- uting the corpses. Before noon most of the bodies were ready for interment. There was a slight delay owing to the corner refusing to allow bodies to be removed except in his presence. On account of the fact that three parties were claiming the same body the cor Oner today revoked his order and the relief committee had charge of the identification More than sixty death certificates were issued and most of the bodies were buried during the day. most without funeral ceremonies. Not a clergyman in town was able to con- duct services. Fifty remains are un- identified.
