THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: :FRIDAY, JANUARY 4 TO0K UP CURRENCY AGAIN House Oommences Where it Left Off Before the Holiday Recess, BLACK OF GEORGIA DEFEND3 THE BI'L Haogen Makes Some Polnted Comments on Springer—McUreary Says More Bonds Must e Issaed If Some= thing 1s Not Done Soon, WASHINGTON, Jan, 3—The house pre- dented an animated scene when it was called to order by Speaker Crisp today after the holiday recess. The galleries were crowded and over half the members were In their seats, 1In the diplomatic gallery were the Japanese minister and his secretary and many prominent personages looked down on the ‘forensic arena from the reserved gallery. After the call of committees for reports Mr. Quigg, republican of New York, attempted to offer a resolution relating to salaries in the New York postoffice, but Mr. Springer, who s In charge of the currency bill, cut him off. Accordingly the house went into commit- tee, Mr. Richardson, democrat of Tennessee, in the chair and Mr. Black, democrat of | Georgla, a member of the banking and currency committee, took the floor In favor of the bill, The debate started sluggishly. © Mr. Black denied at he outset that the banking and currency committee had heard only national bankers while considering the pending meas ure and had turned a deaf ear to all other; Ho met and parried other criticisms of op- ponents of the bills and gave an historical review of the financial doctrines of demo- cratie presidents from Jefferson to Cleve land. Legislation had not caused all the misfortunes under which the people were suffering, he satd. It might have contrib- uted to the'r misfortunes, and he believed th passage of the present bill would contribute to their relief, but he deprecated the feeling abroad In the land that for all the llls and misfortunes of the people they should turn to_congress, Mr. Black's advocacy of state banks of fssue wag ardent, but he concluded by ex- pressing, amid applauge, the opinion that the only real function of the government was the colnage of gold and silver. Mr. Haugen, republica who followed, ' opposed the measure, He described the bill as a crude, ill considered measure, fraught with dangers to the coun- try, and created considerable amusement by ‘his reference to Mr. Springer's positio last summer when he (Springer) antagonized the repeal of the state bank tax. He re- ferred to Mr. Springer as the most “agile member on the floor; one whose volce had been on every side of every question, and gald the administration had made no mis- take when it had elected him to press the propogition for a “‘flexible and elastic cur~ rency.” M'CREARY {TURNS PROPHET. At the conclusion of Mr, Haugen's marks, Mr. McCreary of Kentucky, who Was a member of the Brussels monetary con- ference, took the floor in favor of the mea ure. He said he had examined all the plans suggested for a reform of the cur- rency, and he regarded the Carlisle bill, as amended by the Springer modification, as the best solution of the problem offered. He was opposed, he sald, to funding the green- backs with interest bearing bonds. He be- lieved the banking business should be di- vorced from the government; that the green- backs should be retired by the surplus rev- enues as rapidly as possible, and that a safe and elastic currency should be provided. These objects, he thought, would be at- tained by the passage of the pending bill. Mr. McCreary expressed the opinfon that in the event of the failure of some cur- rency legislation at this session, $100,000,000 or $150,000,000 of bonds. would have to be issued, ‘“How would the passage of this bill re- lleve the condition of the treasury?” asked Mr. Dingley. Mr. McCreary did not answer that ques- tion dircctly, but said that the endorsement of tho president and the sccretary of the treasury had been given to this bill. All the members of the house should umite in an carnest and sincere effort to reform the currency and give relief to the treasury. Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania opposed the bill, attacking some of its provisions vigor- ously, and especially the revival of state banks. Whild speaking of the depression existing in all enterprises, he referred to the decline of 0 cents aton in the price of coal, which he said had cost the peop $2,000,000. Vo Mr. Simpson of Kansas seized on this statement and asked Mr. Adams who this loss fell on, producers or consumers. “On the miners, the holders of railroad shares, etc.,” replied Mr. Adam: “That's what 1 wanted to get at,” said Mr, Simpson. “Tho gertleman speaks for a class,” con- tinued Mr. Adams. “Legislation should be for tho benefit of all, capitalists, miners and consumers alil “‘As the consumers are so much more nu- merous than the producers,” said Mr. Simp- gon, “the decline in the price of coal is a benefit to the country.” “How about the decline in the price of ‘Wheat? Does it not benefit the consumer?" ed Mr. Adams, turning inquisitor. It ought to under proper conditions,” re- sponded Mr. Simpson, “but under the pres- ent system after wheat gets through the milling and rallroad monopolies the consumer 8ets no benefit of the reduced price of ‘Wheat.” mhen Mr. AMams concluded, the com- e rose, and at 4:45 p. m. e ros p. m. the house MAY SEND A MESSAGE. of Wisconsin, re- Cleveland Very Anxious that Some Our- rency BIl Be Enacted, WASHINGTON, Jjan. 3.—President Cleve- land has not yet determined to send a special message to congress on the currency ques- tlon. It was learned that Secretary Carlisle had mentioned the matter to the president, and It had been discussed in a general way. There has been no conclusion reached, how- ever, and up to the present time the presi- dent had not framed such a message, or, in fact, determined to send one. The president has thrown off his usual reserve in discuss- ing the pending currency bill with members of congress. Chalrman Springer of the cur- rency committee and several other house leaders have called at the white house of late, and have talked at length with the pres- ddent on the currency question. In thes talks Mr. Cleveland has urged the great need of passing some form of cucrency legislation. Ho has pointed out that the Cariisle bill was Mot a reform of every existing evil of the financlal system any more than the tariff bill was a complete_realization of the hopes of tarlff reform, Yet, in the judgment of the presiden!, the Carlisle bill was a step in the right direction, and with that accom- plished there was hope of progressing until the flnancial system was perfected at every point, Mr, Cleveland expressed his approval of the Carlisle bill as a whole and in detail He dld not polnt out to his callers anything he regarded as a flaw In it, He expressed the hope that it would receive favorable and speedy action, Wolcots Reads 1iis Titlo Clear. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—When Senator Wolcott was asked as to the truth of the réport sent out from Denver that in the face of his nomination for re-election by the republican legislative caucus he would be opposed by several republican members, he exhibited the following telegram, saying it conveyed all the information he had: “The republican can s & Year's greetings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The resolution heretofore introduced by Mr. Allen of Ne- braska relating to the occupation of rooms in the basement of the semate wing of the capitol for restaurant purposes gave rise to an interesting debate during the morning hour of the session of the day. Mr. Allen severely criticized the practice of furnishing to the proprietors of the restaurant free ot cost his furniture, ice, ete., and asserted it was a_violation of the statutes and consti- tuted larceny of the public funds. Messrs, Hale of Maine and Manderson of Nebraska replied to the obscrvation of Mr. Allen and defended the existing practice. ~No action was taken on the resolution, The remainder of the day was taken up by Mr. Morgan of | Alabama “In a speech on the Nicaragua canal bill in which he replied in detail to the arguments advanced by Mr. Indiana’ in opposition. When the senate rcassembled at noon to- day, about thirty senators were present. Vice President Stevenson called the body to order and more came in during the reading of the journal. The chair laid before the senate a letter from the secretary of state transmitting a dispatch from the United States ambassador at Parls, saying that he had delivered to the widow of the late President Carnot engrossed coples of resolutions of sympathy of the American congress relative to the death of President Carnot. After the presentation of sundry resolutions and memorials, Mr. Sherman, from the com- miftes on forelgn affairs reported and the senate passed the resolution heretofore intro- Que:d by Mr. Dodge of Massachusetts, calling on the president for the correspondence and other papers relative to the delivery by the United tes consul at Shanghal of two Japanese citizens to tHe Chinese authorities; also asking for information as to whether the two Japanese were put to death after being tortured. Further, whether there was an understanding with the Chinese government that United States officers should aid, assist and glve safe conduct to any Japanese citi- zens desiring to leave China, ete, ALLEN CONDEMNS THE RESTAURANT. The resolution of Mr. Allen relating to the ate restaurant was then taken up and Mr. Allen addressed the senate at some length. He thought the restaurant should not be furnished by the government. Senators Hale and Manderson both thought that the best interests of the semate de- manded that there be no change. At 2 o'clock the resolution went over and the senate proceeded to the consideration of the Nicaragua canal biil. Mr. Morgan had the floor to make a speech on the bill, but before he began the nate, on motion of Mr. Squire, republican of Washington, pased a bill granting Ameri- ter to the vessels Linda of North Carolina_and _Archer of Washington. Mr. Morgan then began his address on the Ni- caragua canal bill. He criticized senators who opposzd the bill by imputing to those who favored the biil motives other than patriotic. He defended the constitutionality of the present bill, which had been attacked, The senator consumed a great portion of his speech in controverting the statements made by the semator from Indiana (Mr. Turple in his three days' speech against the bill before the holiday recess. He quoted liberally from the speech and paid con- siderable attention to “'the conspicuous errors of fact upon which the senator’s argument is based.” The senator had contended, said Mr. Morgan, that the company must complete the canal by 1897, ten years from the date at which the concessions were granted. The fact was, however, asserted Mr. Morgan, that the company had two years to make pre- liminary arrangements and fen years after that, or until October, 1899, to complete the project. He argiwed against the proposition of Mr. Turple that the canal should be built by sections and asserted the cost would be three times as great to bufld it than if con- structed in the ordinary manner. MORGAN SEVERE ON TURPIE. Mr. Morgan declared if the senator's posi- ton regarding the possibility of the success- ful completion of the canal, in view of the obstacles named by him was correct, the substitute offered by Mr. Turple providing for a survey to ascertain the practicability of construction was illogical. If the pic- tures drawn by the senator from Indiana of the conditions existing were true, there could be nothing but an affront to Nicaragua in a survey designed to bring his sketches into a stronger light and to display that country in horrible nakedness. If the com- mittee had gone to London instead of com- ing to Washington for a charter the canal would now be completed, or nearly so, and it would, like the Suez canal, be under the civil and military control of Great Britain. Regarding Mr. Turple's allusions to the “beneficiaries” under the bill, Mr. Morgan said, in part: “The senator, in his wild tirade against the so-called beneficiarles of this bill, who will In fact be driven out of the most valuable of their rights if they be compelled to accept its provisions, seems to ignore the fact that avother great sena- tor from Indiana, now dead, was a bene- ficlary, as he calls them, and that an ex- president was its open and firm advocate. I do not know that these facts at all recom- mend this ‘snide’ corporation to his friend- ship. Indeed, it may be that President Harrison's support of the bill is the worst feature in it, according to his way of view- ing the matter. I shall bo sorry if such a fact should so talnt the whole canal schemo that the senator cannot stomach it. There was a man, I am told, who was advised by his doctor to abstain totally from strong drink and to take to cold water ex- clusively. He protested that if he did, he would soon starve for fluids. He said that sinco Noah's flood the water has tasted so strongly of sinners that he never could swallow a drop of it. I fear that this en- terprise has such a lingering odor of Har- rison about it that the senator will never give his consent to the building of a canal in Nicaragua,” “This subject,” sald the senator, ** is too great to be dwarfed into a target for the senator's (Mr. Turple's) sardonic wit, and the bill before the senato is too strong and too well adjusted to fall before any man's cynical sneers. The senator from Indiana has only been threshing over old straw and the meager ficld of grain seems to provoke him, held, as he s, under the torrid blaze of his genius, to make a very acute analysis.” Before Mr. Morgan finished his remarks the senate, at 5 o'clocl , adjourned, MANDERSON NOT A CANDIDATE, Never Had Any Idea of Sceking the Secre- taryship of the Senate, WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Senator Mander- son of Nebraska says the paragraph in cer- tain papers connecting him with the candi dacy for secretary of the senate filled him with amusement. He had never entertained the most remote idea of becoming a candi- date. Sald he: “I retired from the senate voluntarily and Intend to resume the practice of law. I wish the denial of the story to be as broad and emphatic as words can make it Senator Manderson says it is a question whether the republicans will organize the senate. It {s his judgment that it will not be poicy for them to do 5o unless they have a clear majority. In that case he would be pleased to see General Anson McCook made secretary.

The annual meeting of the South Omaha Democratic’ club takes place next Saturday night. In addition to the election of officers there will be other matters of importance discussed. There s likely to be considerable strife when it comes to balloting for officers, as there are two factions in the club, One set fs known as the administration and the other as the anti-administration crowd. The membership is about equally divided on this point, The question of annexation will also be brought up in the form of a resolution, asking the mayor and city council to pass an ap- propriate ordinance submitting the matter to a vote of the people. It Is faid that there will be somewhat of a fight made on this resolutiofi.

Charter Amendment Committees Neurly Completed Their Labors, Yesterday afternoon a conference meeting was held by a subcomittes of the charter amendment committee and a sub committee of the citizen's committee and for three hours they taiked and quarreled, but finally agreed on a report, The scene of the meeting was in the office of City Attorney Connell. The citizen’s commitiee wanted retrenchment at almost any cost, and each amendment was closely and suspiclously scrutinized and dis- cussed. The report will be presented to the Joint meeting of the citizens' committee and the charter amendment commitiee, which will occur tonight in the council chamber. It will be in the form of a bill which it is proposed to present to the legislature on Saturday, if approved. Tho amendment that created the most dis- cussion was that concerning taxation and assessment. In its present form it provides that property shall be assessd at its cash value, although what ‘“cash value” was, was not defined and several of those present were inclined to think that this will cause an amount of trouble and litigation when the assessment |s made. There is a provision that property shall be taxed at such a rate that a maximum tax of $1,000,000 shall be raised yearly. This sum shall be subdivided in due proportion among the various funds. The bonded indebtedness of the city, with the exception of exempted bonds, is limited to $2, 0,000 and bonds for the erection of a city jail, police court and work house to the amount of $100,000 may Pe issued. Another amendment provides that the city limits may include twenty-six square miles, Other amendments provide that streel sweeping shall be done by day labor; that personal property shall not be liable to seizure for taxes on realty; that the Board of Equalization shall sit for an unlimited length of time; that the Board of Review shall sit for a month; that property owners shall be notified whenever their property is assessed higher than may seem adjustable; that pav- ing bonds shall be issued only on the petition of property owners and that in the laying of permanent sidewalks the city shall be di- vided into districts, Before adjourning it was suggested that an amendment be incorporated abolishing the Board of Public works. It was decided, how- ever, that such a suggestion could not properly come up before a conference for action, but the question will be discussed at tonight's meeting. — MERCHANT ROSS RETURNS, Iustead of Being Dead Blufls.

A new theater for Omaha s an assured fact since yesterday. Heretofore the talk of a new opera houss has been largely of the irresponsible kind, but at a meeting of the Interstate Improvement company, held in the office of Willlam A. Paxton, the directors of the Interstate Hotel company decided to change the name of the corporation to the Tnterstate Improvement company, for the purpose of erecting a theater at Fifteenth and Harney streets. Details of plans have been made, and the architects, Messrs.

Slack Was Tried in the School Buildings, but Did Not Fill the Bill. Slack coal has been used instead of hard coal in several of the school buildings during the last few days as an experiment, but it has not been found successful. The schools that have been supplied are the Webster, Walnut Iill, High and Bancroft, and some has been ordered for Commenius, Central and Train. The janitors in all the schools where it has been tried are much opposed to it, and no more of the caal will be used until the Board of Education acls on the matter fur- ther. The heat given out is as great as that from hard coal. The fires are banked every day after the close of school, and when they are started the next morning with steam coal it takes so long to raise heat that it is almost impossible to get the rooms warm by school time.
