In the first section all acts regulating the dep'sit of United States bonds t s-cure cir. culation notes of national banks are repealed The second section provides for the issuing of cireulating notes to a national bank equal to 75 per cent of the paid-up and unimpaired capital upon depositing legal tender note with the United States treasurer equal to per cent of the circulating notes applied for "TPhese circulating notes shall be of denomina tions of $10 and multiples of ten and shall be uniform in design. Section 3 levies a duty of one-quarter of 1 per cent for each half year upon the average amount of bank notes In circulation. Section 4 provides for the mode of redemp. tion and retirement of a bank circulation. Section 5 creates a fund for the prompt r demption of circulating notes of failed bank Bach bank shall pay to the United Siat treasurer in the months of January and July in__each year one-quarter of 1 per cent for each halt year upon the average amount of its circulating noles outstan until said fund amounts to b cent of the total amount of national bank notes outstanding and thereaft:r said tax shall cease. A bank retiring or reducing its clreulation shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its fund. The mode of precedure in case of a bank's failurs is outlined. Section six allows the sccretary of the treasury to invest money belonging to the safety fund in United States bonds. ection seven provides that on July 1, 1895, national banks now having bonds on deposit may withdraw them and substitute the 30 per cent guarahity fund. Sectfon eight repeals previous acts con- flicting with this measure. Section nine provides that the secretary of treasury may, 4m bis discretion, redeem and rotire United States legal tender notes; that no United' States or (reasury nctes author- dzgd by the.act of July. 1, 1590, of a denomin- aticn of loss than $10 shall be fssued. Sedtton ten states that the banks, duly organized unfler ‘the laws of any state, which transact no other than banking business, shall be cxempt from taxation under the laws of the United States under certain c:nditlons regulating state banks. Section eleven providss that state banks shall not issue notes similar in design to United States nctes or certificates or national bank notes. Mr. Brosius, republican of asked whether it was not desirable for the government to assume the risk of redeem ing notes rather than leaving it to the banks. Mr. Carlisle answercd in the negative. He eald he d'd not believe in government re- sponsibility further than in providing the most ample safeguards. The sccrelary pre- sented tables ‘showing the profits of national banks under the propo:cd plan as compared with their profits under the present law. It showed the additional profits and induce- ments would incline national banks to take out creuladon. During the course of the general discussion Mr, Carlisle said hs did not think any immediate retirement of the United States treasury notes was practicable. The secretary spoke of Comptroller Eckels' currency plan. Without wishing to criticse, e thought its fatal defect was In requiring national banks to take out twe different kinds of circulating notes. Mr. Hall of Missourl asked the secretary to Mr. Whits's statement that the treas- ury plan lacked elasticity. Mr. Carlisle sald there was no difference between the plans as to the amount of circulation which could be taken out. BOND ISSUES WILL CONTINUE. The shipment of gold was discussed at much length. Mr. Carlsle sald the lo.s of gold was very heavy after the passage of the Sherman law. The loss of our gold had brought on financial distrust and had threat- ened panic. But there had been no real tanger. These panies were largely the result of sontiment and public feeling instead ot well based fears. During a_general discussion Carlisle and members of the committee the Recretary referred to the fssuing of bonds He :ald, as much as he regretted it, he saw ne way of preventng the further fissue of bouds so long as the present system re- mained, Mr. White was again questioned after the recess, Mr. Ellis of Kentucky asked him if the national banks would con:ent to become guarantors for the notes of all banks. He sald at the outset he doubted whether na tional banks would adopt this plan, but that they would ultimately accept it. Mr. Homer of Baltimore then addressed the committee on the Baltimore plan. He spoke of the requisite that a bank note be secure. The proposed plan undertook to provide this requisite without the necessity of a govern ment bond. Uniformity was another requi te of safe banking. This was also secured by the proposed plan, so that the eystem would be truly national, uniform in all states, instead of varying in each of the forty-four states. He urged that the confidence and Bafety of the noteholder was best secured by government redemption. The Baltimore plan gave this authority for redemption to the government and secured the government against loss by a guarantie fund and numer- | ous safeguards. The government would not De ealled on to meet the losses of falled banks except so far as the guarantee fund permitted, It would be a hardship under the treasury plan to requirc a bank to advance 30 per cent and then to guarantee the redemption | of ther notes. It was too much to ask of one national bank to become responsible for all other banks in which it had no direct concern. Mr. Walker of Maisachusetts assert:d the “schemo” presented by Mr. Homer in behalt of the national banks carried confusion to the present confused condition. Mr. Walker's question tock a wide range, during which b joined issues with Mr. Homer on the merits ot many features of the Baltimore plan The committee adjourned until tomorrow. to certain per Peensylvania, between Mr. Treasury Malance for the Pay.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1L.—In compliance with the Hoar resolution the president today sent to the senate a letter from Secretary Gresham relative to the Armenian outrages. In it the secretary says the department has received no information in regard to the al- leged cru:lties committed upon Aimenians in Turkey other than the statements that have been made by the Turkish government, the current reports in the press and two tele- graphic dispatches from the legation of the United States at Constantinople. These ments and reports contain nothisg as to any cruelties committed upon persons who are dezeribed in the resolution as citizens who have declared their intention to becoma naturalized. The department is not informed that Turkish subjects who had d:clared their inteation to become citizens of the United States and have acquired a domicile in this country have, upon returning to their native land, been subject to cru:ities. Concerning the declination of the United States to send a representative with the Turkish commission of investigation he says: “The position of the Christian subjects of Turkey is guarded by certain stipulations in the Berlin treaty of 1878, which form part of what is known as the European con- cert. The government of the United States is not a party to that treaty Continuing, he says: ‘“‘Subsequently, how- ever, the Britsh goverament, ome of the principal ones of the treaty, expressed a de- sire that a capable and upright representative of the United States may participate with the commission In an investigation now to be made. Mr. Jewell, consul of the United States at Sivias, was designated for the daty." e Appended to the letter was the copy of the cablegram to Minister Terrell at Coustanti- nople aonouncing the appointment of Mr. Jewell, but stipulating that he shall not join with the commissioners in any repcit as to the result of investigution: NGLAND, United States' Steadily Growlng Iron Trade with the United Kingdowm. WASHINGTON, Dee. 11.—More anomalous than the original "sending coals to New- castle” is the exportation of iron and steel products from Germany to Great Britain, and yet this is just what is going on, ac- cording to a report to the State department from United States Consul Mason at Frank- fort, Germany. And the Germen trade with Great Britain Is increasing steadily, as is shown by the fact that whereas in 1870 Great Britain imported fromn all countries ouly 102,000 tons of iron and steel—nearly three-fourths of which was barren of a special quality as material for crucible steel manufacture at Sheffeld, = These Increased In 1882 to 354,000 tons, by far the larger portion of which was supplied by Germany which country in 1863 exported to England and the six principal British colonies 125,000 tons of fron and steel, being about 18 per cont of the total German export for that year. This was 70,000 tons more than Germany exported in 1893 to the entire Amerlcan continent, including Canada. Barely fifty years ago Germany received fully one-half of her entire supply of iron from England, and this complete reversal of the course of trafic may well provoke beyond the channel a serious Inquiry into its causes and condi tions. garded it caus by Ie Dojtish Tron Trade assoclation this question as so fmportant 1 a special investigation to be made experts. Their conclusions are stated at gth in the report and, briefly summariz:d th lanation is found in the super technical skill of the Germans, who overcome British cheap coal by utilizing sclentifically every by-p:roduct in e making, such as tar, gas, ammonia and benzole—instead of wasting all of these, as s done In the crude English and American “‘beehive oven” pro co Then wages in Germany are lower freights are cheaper on the government rail ways, the workmen are more submissive and not subject to strikes, and the government favors export trade by permitting higher prices for home consumption. VOORHEES FOR FREE SILVER. Will Introduee a Bill to Coln the White Metal at the Present Ratio. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Senator Voor- hees, chairman of the committes on finance, furnished an Interview today, which in some degree confirmed the report which has been current about the capitol since the beginning of the present session that he would seek to secure legislation favorable to silver before te final adfournment of the Fifty-third con- gress. He said: “I have no change of views to express, Silver is the money of the con- stitution and should be coimed on the same terms that gold Is colned, without discrimina- tion against either metal and without charge for mintage. I voted against the passage of the famous Sherman act and labored to se- cure its repeal not because I was the enemy of silver coinage. The free coinage of gold means the free coinage of silver to my mind. The plain working people have besn benefited in the last 100 years more by silver than by gold money, and the whining cant of sordid avarice which we now hear, that gold is sound money and silver is not, has the profound contempt of every man familiar with the developments of his country. “‘As to the parity of the two metals when colned, even the small children of finance know that the purchasing power of a dollar is not fixed by the quality or the quantity of the material which composes it, but by the law which makes it a lcgal tender in the payment of debts. When silver is colned, therefore, at the ratlo of 16 to 1, or at any other ratic, and clothed with the authority of law, it has ncver failed to be on a par with gold In its purchasing and in its debt, paying power. The coizage act of 1837 proved itself a wise and safe measure and T believe its re-enactment would now ba an excellent thing. I care but little for the attitude of forelgn nations on this subject We are not subject to their dictation, and for their disapproval we may compensate onrselves with the approval of our awn peo- ple.” Senator Voorhees also announced himself in favor of the amendment of the rules of the senate, #0 as to provid> for cloture, and against further efforts at tariff legislation at the present time. i A fifty-two-week feast is provided by Ifar- per's Young People for $2.00 a year. e CO-OPERATIVE HOME BUILDERS MEET. Third Annual Session of the Nebraska Loan and Building Association Lesgue. LINCOLN, Bec. 11.—(Special)—The third annual meeting of the Nebraska League of Local Loan and Building Associations was the largest and most representative yet held. The reports of the officers, the ad- dresse# made -and papers read provoked spirited discussion and animated interest throughout. s Thirty-elght -~ delogatess twenty-four associaticns, answered the roll call in the Linceln hotel at 2 p. m. Presi- dent Phelps of Schuyler presided. Mr. Brin- inger of Grand Island, secretary and treas- urer, reported eighteen .associations mem- bers’ of the league, and a balance of §6 i the treasury Several delegates from assoclations not yvet members of the league and Mr. R. H. Townley, clerk of the bupking hoard,, were accorded the privileges of the floor. The executive committee reccmmended that the s sague apply for membership in the United States league, and that a committee be appointed to look after legi: lative matters. Both recommendations were approved. President Phelps read an loteresting report concerning the operatiol of the league during the past year. The report bristied with statistics and recommendations, which were warmly received by the convention. The paper read by Mr. Truesdale on the question of the Issue of paid' up stock ex- cited a lively debate, participated in by Messrs. Cornelius, Fitzmorris, Nattinger, Nason, Flack, Townley and Paine. It was contended that the issuance of paid up stock wis not contemplated by the law, and that associations operating under that law and claiming specific privileges thereunder could not consistently urge a ruling in favor of paid up stock. The sentiment of the con- vention was expressed in a motion declaring that the issuance of paid up certificates in exchange for matured shares, payable on demand, was within the bounds of a rea- sonable construction of the law. Papers were read by Messrs. Fitzmortls, Nattinger, Truesdale, Brininger, and were followed by an address by Mr. J. W. Carr on_the subject of foreclosur The Livingston association of Plattsmouth, through its president, Mr. Smith, submitted a statement of the facts in the Drummond case, which has been appealed from the district to the supreme court. Mr. Drum- mond was a borrower in the association, became delinquent, and resisted foreclosur proceedings. The district court sustained the contention of the defendant on the ground of usury. President Smith requested the co-operaticn of the state league in pre- senting tho case to the supreme court. The matter was refi ed to the executive com- mittee with power to act, State Auditor Moore addressed the con- vention in regard to the recommendation in his annual report in reference to making the building and loan law more specific. He was not prepared to state in detail the amendments_that were suzeested by his experience. The main change he urged was the doing away with the premium system of making loavs. He thought a specific and moderate interest rate would do away with an unfair system and simplify association work. Mr. Nattinger offered a resolution urging associations to doing away with bidding and premiums in making loans. Adopted. The election of officers resulted president; G. M.

Wreck of the Illinols Banks One of the Most Complete on Kecord. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 11.—Attorney Marshal Welr, the assignee of Henry Seiter, the Leb- anon, IIL, banker, politician and farmer, said today that it would be several days before he could make a statement'as to the affairs of Mr. Seiter. Bank officers, county officials, lawyers and men in a position to know, many of whom are losers of considerable amounts by reason of the assignment, pronounce the failure the most disastrous and complete that over occurred In St. Clair county. From all that could be learned from responsible riti- zens at Belleville, IlL., the liabilities of -iter will be somewhere between $200,000 and $300,- 000, but what the assets amount to no one seems to know. It is estimated that citizens of Lebanon and vicinity are out $100,000 by the closing of the bank there. Administrators of varlous estates had from $1,500 to $12,000 In the bank at the time it closed, and a num- ber of small business men and farmers are sald to be seriously affected. The schoal treasurers and other townspeople are known to have kept thelr funds in the banks. For many years Rufus N, Ramsey of Carlyle, Ill,, the late state treasurer, who died so unex- pectedly last month, and Herry Selter were Interested fn various business enterprises. It is now stated that the estate of Mr. Ramsey is involved by his friend's failure and would not pay over 25 cents on the dollar, although at the time of his death he was thought ta be worth at least $200,000. The death of Rams sey appears to have caused the final ccllapse of Seiter. P TR Will Be No Meoting.

Seely, wanted | In New York for the embezziement of $354 | 000 from the Sh'e and Leather National | bank, in which he was a bookkeeper. The | prisoner stoutly asserted that Lis name was | Frank J. Dale and that he had been in CI ago nine weeks. That was last night, and the prisoner main- talned the same attitude until noon today, when he confessed he was the man whom the police had suspected him to be. His confession came as a great reifet to the po- lice officers and detectives, who had per- sistently plied him with questions to make him give himself away, and had temporarily, however, given up the attempt, pending the arrival of a New York officer, on account of the prisoner’s stolid refusal to admit that his name could by any possibility be any- thing but that of Frank Dale, as he had originally declared it to be. . When the officers entered the prisoner's ro'm to make the arrest one of them llllulwll. him with: “Well, how do you do, Samuel?' His salutation met with no response. Dale stood seemingly spellbound and unable to speak and his face became pale. After a few moments he regained his composure and sald there must be a mistake as his name was Frank Dale. He offered the detectives a card up:n which that name was printed, with the address 496 LaSalle avenve. He made no resiztance, however, and accompanied the officers to the central police station, The polica got very little satisfaction out of him at the station. Nothing was found upon him that would give a clew as to this in- formation except a Pullman sleeping car check, good betwgen Jersey City and Wash- ington. The prisoner was as noncommunicative to- day as when taken into custody last night. All night long he had sat erect and deflant in the private office of Inspector Shea, and this morning found him not a whit less de- flant. Through the night the officers had taken turn at rigla examinations, but all were unsuccessful, the prisoner insisting that his name is ‘Frank J. Dale. Today, afetr finding their questioning useless, the officers tried another tack, and with a seem- ing doubt as to his identity offered the sus- pect any luxuries he might wish and urged him to send for his friends. But their plan did not succeed. “I have no friends here," sald the prisoner. “ want no assistance. 1 shall stay here until you discover your mistake and let me g0. My name Is Dale, I never heard of Seely except thrau e papers. And now [ won't talk any-more." SKETCHEY, BY REPORTERS. And he did net:: Reporters came in droves and vainlycsought interviews. News- paper artists flogked’ into the little office and made all sgrts Of sketches, and now and then a detectjve tried his band at cross- examination, but,through it all the suspect sat unmoved, ,eccasionally yawning as though * excessively: bored. The police are confident today that the man is Seely and s0 wired to New Ydrk, but they confess themselves puzzlg], 4t the man's cool in- difference. 3 Officers were ¢ént ‘gut among the banks to search for pedple who might have known Seely, and Inspecior'Shea is confident that ho will have thd'mif positively identified before night. Tfedtenant Havas of the detective departm¥he declared that there was not the faintest goubit! that Seely, had been captured, ol i 3 ““I have caretully.compared the photographs and_descriptions with the man and the re- semblance Is perfect. The long mustache has been clipped ‘to a stub, but its charac- teristlc droop remains. It is black instead of blonde, but I found evidences of dye on the upper lip. Seely wore his heir pompa- dour and the prisoner’s lies fiat, but - this man’s hair was heavily ofled and carefully parted down, and when I rumpled it with my hand it quickly assumed the old pompa- dour position. Tha color and pecullarities of this man’s ‘eyes correspond exactly with this man's description. . But perhaps the most convincing proof of his identity is a slight malformation of the edge of the right ear ana a small growth or ‘bump’ on the lobe of the same ear. I have offered to send to any part of the country for any one who could identify him as Dale, but the prisonar declares he has no friends and says ho knows of no one sufficiently acquainted with him to identify him. That alone is convineing proof that we have thé right man. We expect New York officers here tomor- row." It was not until nearly no:n that Seely confessed. He declined to tdlk of his case, but said he was ready td go back to New York and would make no troubie. Seely's remarkable coolness and persistency in depy- ing his identity bad completely bafed tho detectives and they had determined to await the New Yerk officers before making further efforts, when about noon the prisoner told his guard that he wished to see the men in charge of the detective force. Inspector Shea_and « Lieutenant Haas promptly re- sponded, entering the inspector's private office, where the subject had been confined. ““Be seated, gentlemen,” Seely said, affably, as the officers appeared and scmewhat dazed at his nonchalance they sat down. FINALLY OWNED UP. “Now, gentlenien,” Seely continued, “I first wish to thank you for your courtesy and kindness since our meeting last night. I have told you repeatedly that my name is Dale, but T have become tired of deception. I had no sleep last night; I am weary. My name is Seely—Samuel C. Seely, late book- keeper of the National Shoe and Leather bank of New York. That is what I wished to say to you."” “Do you care to say anything about your case?” asked the inspector. “Nct a thing. 1 am ready and willing to go back to New York. I will not make any trouble about extradition. So soon as the proper New York officials arrive I will g0 with them. The officers attempted to secure a scrt of a statement from Seely regarding his connec- tion with the great steal, but he carefully avoided making either admissions or denlals. Finding his efforts in' that line unavailing Tnspector Shea ordered the man taken to the Harrison street station, where he was locked up in a cell to awalt the arriyal cf the New York officers. Seely’s quarters-3l the Harrlson street sta- tion were much less comfortable than those he had occupied at headquarters, where he was allowed to remaiw- in the luxurious pri- vate office of anm#fihum But the stuffy, ill-smelling cell had_ bparently mno terrors for the ex-bookkdepst, and removing his ulster, he made t comfortable on the iron bunk.

McFarla information led in following up hi anxiously awaited aim e young man whose y's arrest, was slow nquest today. Although the authorities he had not put in an apgefrance up to noon, and no one knew whereabouts. Seely’s action in voluntarlly confessing his Identity to a passing urqw fance after having dis- played such remarkable keenness in eluding arrest was the cause of much speculation. McFarland had.said that Seely met him on the street, invited ‘himto the races, and after several days companionship had calmly io- formed him that he was Samuel C. Seely, wanted in New York: for aiding in the theft of $354,000, ~The pollce were inclined to the belief that McFarland's story might be subject to variations. It was believed by many of the detectives that the informant was an old acquaintance of the fugitive and that the allurements of the $5,000 re- ward had got ‘the better of hiz friendship. On this subject, however, Seely was as silent as & clam, and the officers were forced to be content with speculation pending the appearance of the young man. CLAIMED THE REWARD. What evidence, if any, had been found at 496 Lasalle avenue, the fashionable boarding house at which Seely was arrested, the police refused to say. It was known that no papers of importance and a solitary $100 bill were found on his person and it was not thought that any Incriminating evidence had been dis. covered in his room During the afternoon McFarland put in an appearance at detective headquarters, He was apparently laboring under a rather heavy burden of intoxicants and his conversation was not particularly lucld. He was able, however, to make his hearers understand that he was hot after that §5,000 reward and that he intended to have it all He would, he declared, divide with no one. After making something of a scene at headquarters he left, but re turned several times during the afternoon and made numerous demands for the reward Dotectives who were sent out t: look up the Informer’s record reported that he had for a week been boasting to his friends that he ow where to find Seely. McFarland, ac cording to the officers, Is an ardent admirer of the flowing bowl and many of his ac quaintances say that he frequently, during the while intixicated, had de clared that he would soon clear $5,000 by a clever bit of detective work McFarland is a rather good perhaps 25 rs old, dresses flashily, and fs said to frequent the race tracks.” Owing to his condition today the flcers to learn anything re- looking man well, though were unable garding his acquaintance with Seely.

NEW! YORK, Dec. 11.—Senator Teller, the silver republican from Colorado, speaking on the political and congres- sional outlook, said: “It does not look to me as if we shall do anything but pass the ap- propriation bills. We need financial legisla- tion badly enough, but neither Secretary Car- lisle’s plan nor what is known as the Bal: timore plan is feasible. In fact, Mr. Car- lisle's is absurd. I have talked with sev- eral leading bankers in New York since I have been here and have mot run across one yet who favors it.” “What do you expect come? “Well, we shall have another Issus of bonds one of these days. This thing will be kept up until the gold goes out of the country and until people can see for them- Ives ‘that gold cannot be kept in the coun- try by issuing bonds and running into debt.” “Shall we have an extra session?"* ““No, I don't look for one, and I don’t think veland wants one. What good would an extra session do, anyway. The house would be republican, the senate democratic-populist and Cleveland would continue to hold his own views. So we have three branches of the government with varied views.” “Who is the favorite presidential candidate in the northwest, and will the western states drop into the republican column in 18962 “It will ba mecessary for the republicans to nominate a man for president who s in favor of bimetallism if they want to carry the states of the northwest. Sherman says he is in favor of a restricted use of silver, ac cording to newspaper accounts, and Reed and McKinley are understood to both favor bimetallism. Harrison is squarely with the siiver men. Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Nevada are certan to vote for the presfdential candidate who favors silver, and the chances are that California, Oregon and Washington will do the same. Kansas and Nebraska would in all probability fol- low the example of their sister states of the west. These states are naturally republican, but if a gold standard man is nominated they are sure to be found in the democratic column, and especially if Adlai E. Stevenson is made the democratic candidate in 1896, as is most likely to be the case from the way things 100k now. will be the out- e TRAPPED THE COUNTERFEITERS, HadsEverything Fixed to Do Business on a Large Scale. GUTHRIE, OkL, Dec. 11.—A squad ot dep- uty United States marshals have just un- earthed a powerful and dangerous gang of counterfeiters who have been operating in conjunction with confederates in Indlana, Missourl and other states. A chance word uttered by a member of the gang while in- toxicated led to a raid and the subsequent lodging in the United States jail of the fol- lowing leaders of the gang: Guy Harper, L. Crawford, Joseph Tillery, Jesse Lockett and Sam Lockett. After shadowing these men three months the outlaws were nabbed and unwillingly led their captors to an_under- ground cavern a few miles east of Perkin used by the counterfeiters as a mint and gen- eral rendezvous. After localing the under- ground mint the deputies organized and armed themselves to the teeth, and at 2 o'clock yes- terday morning descended into the cavern. After traversing a subterranean passage for 100 yards, they burst in a door and covered twenty-five men with Winchesters. The counterfeiters had been trapped so adroitly and were so taken by surprise they failed to show fight and scattered through hidden exits, Every man escaped. But it after- wards developed that the prisoners were the leaders of the gang and the others were only cappers, whose work was to float the spurlous coln. The officers gathered in three bucket- fuls of counterfeit dollars, perfectly made, and two tubs full of dimes, quarters and nickels, besides a costly assortment of moulds and other paraphernalia. The men had been operating in the cave nearly eight months, and much of the spurious coin was boxed and expressed to agents in western states. All the prisoners are educated and well dressed. Tillery was at ono time an employe in the mint at Philadelphia. The Lockett brothers resided in Perkins, where they were consid- ered examplary young men. The prisoners s0 far are reticent and refuse to answer ques- tions. ————— SLIPPERY TRACK AND SMALL FIELDS. Talent at Bay District Given Few Flyers to Pick Winuers Among.
