price of the outstanding per cents
would be still further depressed.
So he insisted that congress should
legislate further in order to put the
two classes of bonds upon a parity.
Secretary MacVeagh thought
that If the new bonds were to be
made attractive to the investing
public by the payment Of 3 per
cent interest with the government
guarantee back of them, they
would be taken up with money
which is now being held by the
savings banks. If the banks want
ed them for circulation purposes
they would have to pay IN per
cent for the privilege, and Mr.. Mac
Veagh is not particularly anxious
to see the present volume of circu-
lation in the country materially in
creased.
Senator Aldrich insisted that 3
per cent was too high rate for
the government to pay and would
swell the interest debt of the coun-
try to. a figure that would be diff
cult to explain to the taxpayer He
made SO strong an argument that
it is now understood that the ad-
ministration is considering a COM
promise half way between the ex-
listing per cent rate and the pro-
posed 3 per cent rate.

treasury department to issue this
kind Of security.
When the new tariff bill was
passed it authorized the secretary
of the treasury to issue bonds to
meet the expenses of the Panama
canal construction. 1t proposed
that they should bear 3 per cent
interest. But 1t failed to specify
that the bonds should be payable
in gold coin; it made no appropri-
alton of the usual one-tenth of one
per cent to meet the printing and
other expenses of the issue ana
alton should be assessed against
circulation issued by the banks
which might use these bonds to
deposit as security for it. Amend
ments, therefore, are necessary, but
Senator Aldrich has SO far refused
to help the passage Of such legis-
lation.
There are now outstanding, prin-
cipally in the hands of national
banks, about 84,630,000 of Panama
bonds, bearing 2 per cent interest.
Most of these are on deposit in the
treasury department as security for
circulation. The tax upon that cir
culation is one-half of one per cent,
so that the banks get net return
of one and half per cent interest
from the government, provided they
bought them at par. They paid
from $102 to $110 for each 500
bond, and at the present market
price they stand to lose consider
able money.
Now, If the secretary of the treas
ury were to issue more Panama
bonds at 3 per cent, without any
additional restriction as to tax on
circulation that might be put out
based upon them as security, the

ton was making the run on the
Portland Heights line week ago
Friday when he was stricken.
When he had finished ringing up
the last of several fares he found
that his whole body and his arm
was rigid and his arm remained
aloof and his hand was powerless
to leave the rope. Likewise he was
powerless to speak or to move I'M
til sudden lurch of the car threw
him to the floor and he was hast

Hospital physicians, who have

that Thornton5s ailment Is due to a
temporary nervous trouble and that
there is a chance for his complete
recovery. He has a large family
dependent on him.

Hospital There.
Frank M. Coffey, who represented
the Lincoln Central Labor Union at

convention in ST. Louis last month,
was taken sick during the convention
and had to leave the Marquette hotel
and go to the American hospital. Mr..
Coffey's condition was unknown to
Lincoln unionists until last Tuesday
night, although it had been rumored
that he was i'll. The fact that he did
not return after the convention, coup
led with the fact that he was i'll when
he left for st. Louis, led his friends
to believe that possibly he might be
dangerously i'll among strangers. An
investigation was started with the re
can hospital,- and the intimation given
that he was receiving proper care and
attention from the Typooraphical I'm
ion at st. Louis. A telegram was sent
him telling him to wire certain parties
in Lincoln if he needed anything in
the way of assistance and it would be
promptly furnished. The latest infor-
nation is that he is rapidly recovering
and will be able to return to Lincoln

Without attempting a detailed des-

one has a faint glimpse of moon

glistening with frost crystals In the
