10 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 18, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. THE MINORITY REPORT SUBURBAN NEWS| "7 Severe Criticism of Various Provisions of the Carlisle Bill. A Belict That the Measure Would Ag- Relieve the gravate Rather Tha: Financial Situati ‘The republicam minority of the banking and currency committee state in their re- port against the Carlisle bill that it was not considered by the committee at ail. ‘The report, continuing, says: “It is the opinion of a number of the most clear-headed and eminent financiers in the country that if the Carlisle bill was enacted into law within twenty days it would precipitate a panic far more severe than that of 1803, as it would com- pel the forced sale upon the market of nearly two hundred million of United States bonds within six months. “The haste to report this bill is all the more inexplicable when it is remembereg , that Secretary Carlisle testified, that the bill, which he had drafted himself, for the relief of the treasury would not in any event ‘relieve it materially for five years, and might not for twenty years.” The Measure Locsely Drawn. Examples of looseness of construction and the inadequacy of provisions of the bill are given. ‘Che report points out that particularly in the provisions for the safety fund the measure Is loosely drawn. it say! “Whatever legislation is had with refer- ence to the finances of the country or banking, in its effect upon national banks, should be permissive and not mandatory to national banks, while their present charters continue. ‘To provide, as in sec- tion 7, “Lhat every national banking asso- ciation heretofore organized and having bonds on deposit to secure circulation shall, on or before the Ist day of July, eighteen hundred and ninety-five, withdraw such bonds and deposit with the treasurer of the United States a guaranty fund consist- ing of United States legal tender notes, including treasury notes,’ cannot be justi- fied upon any prirciple of safe legislation. it could not fail to produce a panic, and the recklessness of such legislation would not only startle the financiers in this coun- try, but cf the world. “The provisions of exemptions as to state banks, notwithstanding the many re- strictions imposed upon them, would driye every existing national bank that desires to take out circulating notes into the state bank system, if the bill were enacted. The taxation of national bank notes’is 1-2 per cent per annum in section 3 and 1-2 per cent per annum under section 5, making a total of 1 per cent per annum, which would be a taxation of five million per annum upon the banks under the national system,which there is no reason to believe from any cx- perience of the past would be imposed up- on them under any state system. Further- more, the states would be far more liberal than the United States will ever be, or ought to be, as regards bonds or any other security or redemption fund, for they may require the deposit of no bonds whatev2r. We cannot believe that it was the inten- tion of the framers of the Carlisle bill to make the conditions under which national Lanks should issue currency any more onerous than those imposed or likely to be imposed upon state banks, or that it was the intention of Secretary Carlisle or of those whe now enthusiastically support the Carlisle bill or will vote for it in Congress to force the national banks to operate vn- der state charters, and yet we feel assured that euch would be the inevitable effect of the bill. We particularly desire to call the attention of the House to the fact that of the witnesses not more than one or two who appeared before the committee ‘ailed to seriously object to the Carlisle bill. WH Aggravate the Financial Situa- tion. “The passage of the Carlisle bill,” the re- port says, “may meet some political exi- gency of which we do not know, but we do know that its passage will aggravate rath- er than relieve the perplexities of the finan- cial situation, and especially that of the United States treasury. The United Siates legal tender notes withdrawn from circula- tion, did ail existing national banks take out all the circulation permitted under the bill, would only be $151,000,000, still leaving $35,000,000 to Vex the treasury. This would not afford ary substantial relief to the constant, drain of gold from the treasury. It woulé make stili more conspicuous and thus more urgent the demand for gold up- on the treasury, and the notes issugd under the bill would make cenfusion worse con- founded in the currency by adding from ene to forty-five more kinds of money to those already existing. Twice within a short time has the House deglared its un- alterable opposition to allowing state banks to issue currency notes, once on June 6, 1802, by a vote of $4 for to 118 against it, and’ again’ under the leadership against state banks of the gallant and versatile entleman from Illinois, the Honorable Ym. M. Springer, on June 6, 1804, by a vote to repeal the 10 per cent tax of 102 for to 172 against. Therefore, we protest against ‘ain consuming the time of the House in a profitless discussion of that objectionable section of the Carlisle bill. “Finally, we are of the opinion that {t is not safe for the House to enter upon the line of legislation proposed until some bill is brought before it that has received far more attention than the Carlisle bill, and we recommend that it be indefinitely post- poned.”" ———_+- 2 +___ THE COLLECTING MANIA. A Fev Well-Chosen Remarks om This Feminine Foible. From the New York World. Women are born misers, even the most lavish and generous among them. They hoard, apparently for the mere sake of hoarding. They save empty spools and scraps of lining, bits of feather, small useless odds and ends of velvet and rib- bon. Their scrap bags and sewing bas- kets reveal the instinct in its commonest form. The collection craze shows it at a higher point. From the time when, as little girls, they go about with strings of buttons to the day when as old ladies they leave their collections of bric-a-brac to some art museum, they are everlastingly col- lecting. The original ones collect with & certain degree of discrimination and judgment. The others collect whatever they hear it Is proper to collect, from souvenir spoons to handkerchiefs. Senti- mental young persons collect pebbles, mosses, twigs, keep old flowers, wornout vells, discarded gloves and the like as re- minders of romantic episodes. This Is, harmless enough, as it costs very little and does not really burden the mind with mem- ories any longer than the mind would be burdened anyway. But once the collection craze passes this harmless stage it be- comes pernicious. The woman who makes a fetich of laces and collects them is laying up for herself a@ store of wrinkles and unhappiness. She will worry about the genuineness of the lace she buys; she will worry over the yel- lowing influence of time, the tearing of careless cleaners, the possibility of fire and thieves. The woman whose one idea on all her travels is to get a souvenir spoon or a souvenir cup loses all the joy of traveling, increases the difficulty of pack- ing and frequently burdens herself with things valueless in themselves and not long valuable as mementoes. The collecting fad is one to be decried vigorously. It develops a miserly spirit. It adds burdens to life. It seldom, except in the case of those collecting geniuses who are the exceptions proving the rule, adds anything of particular value to one’s possessions. The only good thing to be rs Ma for it is that it occupies the feminine mind. nae A Hunting Oatfit. From the Detroit Free Press, A Detroit man the other day received a sudden invitation from a Kentucky friend of his to come down and join a hunting arty about to start out for the mountains. ‘he Detroit man wanted to go, but he | idn’t know what kind of game was to be the object, so he sent this telegram for in- structions: “All right. What shall I bring?” A few hours later he received this reply: we have the rest.” “Corkscrew!

SAR = Tas TAKOMA PARK. ‘The prayer meeting of the Methodist So- ciety, held last night at the residence of Colonel G. C. Kniffin, filled the parlors to their utmost capacity. Dr. D. M. Jones led the service of song and prayer with a short address on the comfort and consola- tion of Christ, or the distance between believers ard unbelievers. Elder L. M. Wil- son of the Washington district preached to a jarge audience in Takoma Hall on Sun- day. At a meeting of the officers and teachers of the Presbyterian Sunday school held at the home of Mrs. George H.

STSnw SEARING BACK THE REMAINS. te Take Sir John Body to Canada. Contrary to the statements published, the remains of the late Sir John Thomp- son were not sealed in the casket Sunday in London, and Miss Thompson took her last look at her father’s body at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after which the coffin was sealed in the presence of Sir Chas. Tupper, the Canadian high commissioner, and Mrs. Sanford. ‘The date of the departure of the body of the Canadian premier from England fer Canada depends upon the amount of coal- ing which the cruiser Blenheim, detailed to take the remains across the Atlantic, will require. The body will be met at Portsmouth by the Roman Catholic bishop and by the local clergy and will probably be conveyed on board the war ship by the admiralty yacht Enchantress. The Prince of Wales, who was only in town for a few hours %n Saturday last, called ou Sir Charies Tupper, the Canadian high commissioner. and asked him to con- vey his sympathy (o Laly Thompson, the witiow of the late Sir Join Thompson. NOTABLE IN ENGLISH LETTERS. English Newspapers Comment on Stevenson’s Dea The death of Robert Louis Stevenson, the well-known novelist (exclusively an- nounced by the Associated Press dispatches Sunday) attracts great attention in London. ‘The English newspapers devote columns of space to obituary notices. ‘The Pall Mall Gazette says he was a notable man in English letters. ‘The St. James Gazette asserts that “his death will be felt like a personal sorrow by tens of thousands in England and America. His loss is irreparable.” How Stevenson Died. Robert Louis Stevenson, who died in Samoa on the evening of December 3, was talking with his wife, seemingly as well as usual, when he suddenly sald to her: “] have a strange pain in my head.” Im- mediately afterward he fell back tnsen- sible. Within two hours he died. The cause of death was sudden paralysis of the brain, accompanied by collapse of the lungs. Mrs. Stevenson and all his relatives were present. ae THE DOLLS’ CARNIVAL. Chicago Will Have the Finest Display It Ever Had. The dolls’ carnival, which will be held this week at battery D armory, Chicago, beginning last evening, will probably surpass anything of the kind ever be- fore attempte. im that city. Mark Twain, Rider Haggard, Edgar Bellamy, Emma Wheeler Wilcox, Della Fox, Ada Rehan, Isadore Rush, DeWolf Hopper, Cora ‘Urquhart Potter, Nat. Goodwin, Henry Miller, Kyrie Bellew, Joseph Jef- ferson, Palmer Cox and Mrs, Cleveland have sent in contributions of dressed dolls for exhibition at the carnival. The work of arranging for the carnival has been carried on for several weeks, and more than 10,000 letters were sent out to promi- nent persons, asking for contributions. Replies to these letters came at the rate of 300 or 400 a day, showing what a lively interest in the display was taken by those who were given an opportunity to con- tribute to it. DEAD OF NIGHT. Execution of John Cronin on an Aa- tomatic Gallows. HARTFORD, Cenn., December 18.--John Cronin was hanged at 1:01 o'clock this morning at the state prison in Weath- ersfield for the murder of Albert J. Skinner and was pronounced dead nine minutes after. Tho automatic gallows worked perfectly. His body was taken down at 1:40 o'clock and interred at Blue Hills cerretery at 5 o'clock, The moon was shining through a partially cloudy atmos- Phere when the witnesses were escorted from the warden’s house on a seven min- utes’ walk around the prisoa and through the back gate into the interior court of the prison. The scene was a weird one, not alone for the novelty of the hanging, occurring at such an hour of the night, but for the complete military discipline displayed by the warden in conducting the man to the execution house. Every detail was carried out with a strict precision, such as char- acterizes an execution at a court-martial. Within the executive room was another uncanny scene. Lighted up by twelve gas jets the room was bare in its outlines, save the closet in the corridor inclosing the mechanism and a chair which had been provided should he faint. At the center of the room hung the noose and on the walls was the dial which was to tell the story of the progress of ‘the automatic movement. Crorin met death with only a slight tremor. His arms were bound when he left the cage and was marched into the room with Keepers Doolittle and Perkins on either side. As he stepped on the plat- form he trembled slightly and stood with his head bent forward. The fine shot in the machine was started by Warden Wood- bridge by putting his foot on a lever. Dep- uty Warden Baisden placed a black hood over Cronin’s head, and the keepers bound his legs at the knee and ankles. Dr. E. @. Fox, the prison physician, adjusted the noose so that the large knot in the five- eighths-inch manilla rope was placed di- reculy under the loft ear. The dial on the wall showed that the shot had been running in the machine for twen- ty seconds. Surgeon Fox turned away, and as the deputy warden raised his hand to- ward the warden, signifying all was ready, the warden did not wait for the shot to run slowly out, which would require twen- ty seconds more. Ho at once pressed his foot on a second lever and jumped the rhot at once. Cronin’s body shot up into the air five feet, at an angle of about 35 degrees, and fell back instantly, his feet being about eighteen inches from the floor. The body was motionless for about ten seconds, when a perceptible twitching of the whole frame was noticeable for a few seconds. His hands became firmly clenched, grow- ing Ughter and tighter, until rigor mortis set in, just nine minutes after the fatal trap was sprung. “Successful,” said the warden, and nearly every one present stepped up to him and shook hands with him. W. R. Sill, one cof those present, who has attended fifteen ex- ecutions, said he had never seen any 80 perfectly carried out as this. The whole affair was perfectly noiseless, the dull thud of the heavy weight as it struck the ground not being noticeable in the excitement of the moment. The witnesses, for whom Warden Wood- bridge had provided according to law, be- gan gathering at the prison early in the evening. Several others who had to be denied admittance to the execution were among the number who assembled tn the warden’s house. # The Associated Press representative and eight other newspaper men, three directors of the prison, Messrs. Bollman, Chittenden and Sumner, Warden Woodbridge, Deputy Warden Baisden, Officers Doolittle and Perkins, Chaplain Dighton Moses, the pris- on physician, Dr. BE. C. Forbes, Rev. Father Broderick and John T. Lynch, Cronin’s spiritual adviser, and Sheriff Miles B. Pres- ton of Hartford county were the witnesses of the hanging. —_—_ REFORM IN ARMENIA. Mass Meet in London to Protest Against the Recent Atrocities. ‘The mass meeting in London last night to protest against the Armenian atrocities was held under the auspices of the Armen- lan Society. Several delegations from for- eign cities were present. Mr. Gladstone was unable to be present, but he wrote as follows expressing his sentiment “The terrible statements from Armenia have riveted the attention of the world. I heartily wish well your and every other ef- fort to bring out the truth. Should the hor- rible allegations already made be sustained, they will prompt the civilized world anew to ask: ‘How long are these things to be endured” I will not try to anticipate the result of the examination, but I feel moral- ly certain that the administration will not rest without a most thorough inquiry into the matter in which, under the Cyprus con- vention, we have a separate, deep and pain- ful interest. It is my present hope that th Ottoman government, for its own hono! cordially concur’ in this searching investiga- tion.”” The British government was called upon by the meeting to take the initiative in in- sisting on the immediate introduction of definite reforms in Armenia, In accordance with the pledge given at Berlin by Turkey. One paragraph in the resolution adopted said: “While approving the international con- sular commission, we believe that the mere punishment of a few offenders will not change the situation. What Is really re- quired is concerted and vigorous action by the powers.” ‘The Novosto of St. Petersburg says that the best pledge England and Russia can give of the mutual sincerity of their under- standing is joint forcible intervention in Armenia. The writer advocates a policy which will culminate in Armenia's inde- pendence. Solving “the Unemployed Question.” John Burns, the English labor leader and member of parliament, was given a hearty reception at Omaha last night, and a large gathering heard him. The chief point of his address was a scathing thade against municipal jobbery and boodlerism, and he insisted that ‘the workingmen must take this matter up for themselves. He quoted figures to prove how, following in the wake of Liverpool and Glasgow, London was rapidly solving the “unemployed questicn” through what is known as the direct employment sys- tem, and how through municipal ownership of gas and electric iighting plants, water works and street railways, the city was taking the weapons out of the hands of the monopolies and running these public works for the public good. A LIFE SAVER. ‘What it Means to be a Surfman—Hard- . “shipand Injury His Chief Reward. From the Woonsocket (R. I.) Reporter. ‘One midwinter night, in a blinding snow storm, Captain Arthur L. Nickerson, in command of the gallant little schooner Allen Green, ran out om Vineyard Sound before the northeast gale and made for the sea. The storm was at its height when the wind shifted so suddenly that before the skipper realized his situation his ears caught the sound of the breakers booming on Point Judith’s treacherous shore. Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green struck, Captain Herbert M. Knowles’ crew of hardy life savers had begun the work of rescue. Captain Nickerson, when brought ashore, was in a pitiable condition. As he later stated in his official report of the disaster (see Government Report made to Superin- tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service, “{ suffered much from cramps Ga ins caused by the bruises I received before I went ashore, having been at the wheel fifteen hours continuously.” The life savers wrap} the brave young sailor in warm blankets and gave him ;'1in- Killer freely.

From the New York Heralt. China is honeycombed with secret s0- cleties. Some of these'are of a perfectly harmless character, their existence being due merely to that strange secretive ten- dency which is so marked a feature of the Chinese character. But. many are most dongercus associations, consisting of thor- cughly vunscrupulous’:conspirators, whose aim is the overthrow of the present Manchu dynasty. ah a Of these troublesome organizations the most powerful and rhost! turbulent is the Kolao Hui, which, as announced in today’s dispatches, is now making its operations unpleasantly felt. It ‘had existed for over fifty years, and was originally formed to insure to its members protection against the extortion of civil officials in dealing ‘with the pay and maintenance of the troops. This object is still pursued. Offi- cers, as well as privates, are members, and the authorities who are supposed to have ill-treated the troops are punished by assassination, by the destruction of their property and by sudden riots in their dis- tricts. as In the course of time the society enlarg- ed its objects, and it has long been known as an anti-foreign and especially anti-mis- sionary conspiracy. The — anti-foreign troubles of 1891 were due to the machina- tions of the Kolao Hui. The society also aims at a change of dynasty. The mem- bers avenge each other's private wrongs, and many join it for that purpose only. Frequently members are enlisted by fraud. They are induced on one pretense or an- other to sign their names to an innocent looking book, which turns out to be a roll of the members, and then they are afraid to draw back, lest the society should take vengeance. The Kolao Hui has been at- tacked by pewerful viceroys again and again, but {t has grown and flourished, owing to the timidity and coruption of the magistrates and local officials. ————-+e- Trade Revival, From the Indianapolis Journal. “Well, old man, how is business?” “Boomin; aid the manufacturer of sporting goods. “I have just received an order for four million pairs of sprinting shoes for the Chinese army.’ Would Take All Their Time.
