Arrangement That Glves General Satisfactlon and Ciears Up a Strained Situation. special Dispatch to THE CaLL. CAvLL OFFICE. Ric WASHINGT Secretary Gage will appear befor House Committee cn Backing and Cur- rency on Thursday, and will submit to them in the form of a general wvill his recoramendations recently made to Con- gress. Tne determination of the Secretary to submit one general financial biil instead of a number of separate bilis as brought | out many exvressions of satistaction. It has had the effect of clearing up s situa- tion which was becoming strained and gives vromise of an early report to Con- gress on financial bi The understanding was reached as a re- | sult of a visit to tne Capitol of the So- licitor of the Treasury, Mr. Connell, rep- resenting Mr. Gage. He talked with a number of the Republican leaders, and it is understood was sdvised by Dingley and others that it would bLe desirable to em- brace financiai subjects in one general bili, Later the solicitor met Chairman Walker and other members of the Committee on Banking and Currency and a general con- ference was held as to what shouid be done. It was made known that Mr. Gage vreferred to let the subject go over until aiter the holiday recess. The committee urged, however, that it desired 1o take the Gage bill, and also that submitted by the mouetary conference, under cons.deration during the holidays, in order to be in a | position to report progress when the House reconvened after the recess. It was | decided, tuerefore, that Mr. Gage should submit hi asure on T day and ap- pear in person to explain and argue its merits and answer questions from the commitiee. It was alto made clear that the Secretary would cover all his pro- posals 1n one general bil instead of cut- tine the subject up. T rrangement gave general sati | tion, and, having sccomplished this m t | | ac- | the members of the committee cany 1 the course they would tzke as to making | an immediate report to the House on car- rency questions. It was deciaed that the first thingto be done was to repori & bill embodyine the three feaiures recommended by the Presi- | dent, viz A reduction of the tax o circulation to one-balf of 1 per cent; the | issuance of circulation up to the par| value of bonds deposited and the estab- lishment of smull baunks in rural com- munities. While these will be embodied in the | Gage plan, yet, as thev were spacisly ad- vised in the President’s message, it was| felt to be advisable to give tne House the | opportunity of acting on them at once withou: waiting for the report on the | Gage bill. For these reasons tne full committee will be asked to report on the President’s plan at once. The draft of a bill has been prepared by Brosius of Pennsylvania and this given to the so. or of the tre who is to retura it in time for act the committee, with such sucges the treasury sauthorities m y wish :uz make. As o the compreueniive Gage | 1], this and the monetary conference bill will be gone over wiih care during holidays, and as s result of the better feeling created to-day members of the Banking and Currency Committee say there is no further doubt that action will be reported to the House soon after the | bo.days.

Exccutivs Officers of Western Foads Meet and Discuss a Vexatious Question. | CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—The executive offi- cers of the Western roads met here to-day. The principal matter for discussion was low rates from Chicago to Colorado points. It was the opinion of all the roads that the rates are much too low, and that if they are to continue at the present tariff the roads will not make sufficient from their business to pay the operating ex- venses for the trains. The matter could be settied guickly if the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf would forgo the demand for a differentivl. The Western roais were determined that they will not allow | a differential, and the chances scemed that the fight would be continued for some time longer. —— 7he Trial of Luetgert.

Iam certain that there will be intense suffer- ng unless relief is at once provided tor.” Senator Perkins of California and Sena- tor Wilson of Washington have had a con- ion with Secretury Guge, in which they recommend that the sub-port of en- try at Dyea beabolished, Tuey presented numerous propesitions to this effect, which represented that Dyea as a sub- port now furnishes advantages to persons from British Columbia which are not given to United States citizens going through the passesand to the Klondiks country. British subjects now suip goods to Dyea in bond and’ it passes oa to the Northwest Territory unhampered by cus- toms ot any kind. United States ci 1s, the petitioners say, meet with anuoyances as they resach the lukes in British Norihwest Territory. Although it is clzimed that 100 pounds per man is exempt there is olten a great deal of trouble experienced. Secretary Gage ssid e would investizate the whole matter, and would slso ask the Commerce Commuittee of the Senate to make a thor- ough investigation.

Receives an Order for a Bottle When About to Close His Office. Attorney-General McKenna Sends a Personal R quisition From Washington. Special Dispatch to TRE CALL PH@ENIX, Drc. 14.—The wheels of gov- ernment, so far as concerns the business | done by the Unitea States Attorney’s of- | fice at PLeznix, have been greatly clozged | for several weeks and in imminent dan- | ger of total suspention owing to the ab- sence of a bottle of mucilage. According | to special insiructions issued from the | Department of Justice at Washington, the Phenix office about three months ago | made a requisition, with all possible red- aps formaliy, for office supplies. The rules of the department require that each article asked for shall be entered upon a special blank. This requirement was strictly adhezed to, aithough it exhausted | al the available blanks. It ispermissible | under the rules to inclose all of these | requisitions in one envelope, and this fact | enabled the Phaaix office to make known | its wants to the department at Washing- | ton in the only remaining oflicial envelope | in the Territory of Arizona. In course of time most of the things for which requisition Lad been made arrived. However, thero were no envelopes in the | package; neither was there a badly | needed bottie of mucilage. The attention of the department was called to these tal omissions, and a long drawn out official correspondence, partly by letter | and partly by telegrapb, ensued. Finally, after many days of more orless patient | waiting, there came a letter from the De- partment of Justice, the contents of which disposed of the controversy con- | cerning the absence of official envelopes |in the office of the Territorial United ates Attorney—but not immediately. The Pheenix office was informed that no | requisition for enve.oves had been re- | ceived at department headquarters, and the sucgestion was made that perhaps | the Prceaix cffice had neglected to m | such requisition. It s further | geste1 by theletter that if the United § | Attorney’s otlice at Phcenix needed envel opes it would be eminently proper for the | office to make a formai re ition for them. This advice was carried out by the | Phanix office, the enveiopes finaliy ar- ‘L\'cu' from the department at W ing- | ton l{nd the situation was greatly sim- litied, P The correspondence between the local office and the Department of Justice was now narrowed down to the bottle of muci- lage, which had been indeed aimost lost | sight of during the exciting envelope em- broglio. Letters were sent and letters | | were received concerning the missing bo | tle of mucilage. In the meantime the mucilage on hand in the Upited States Attorney's office at Pheenix w siowly diminishing and had alresdy reached a | age where, noiwithstanding the utmost | economv in its use and ite frequent dilu- | tions wiih water, the bottie was almost | | empty. The Proeoix officials began to look for ward to the time when the mucilage bo tle would be entirely empty. The un- pleasantness of the situation was mitigated | as to Mr. Ellinwood, who foresaw thai | | when the last drop of mucilage wss gone | it would beimpcssible to iransact business and he wouid ihus pra.tically be out of office, an end that Le bas been trying to | reach forseveral months by other avenues, | such as re ation and requests that his ccessor be speedi y appoinied, but what- | ever enjoyment Mr. Eilinwood derived from this vView of the si:uation and what- ever despair weighed down his as Mr. Frauklin, «nd his clerk, Mr. Litile, by ason of the perceptible daily diminution | in the mucilage bottie, was dispelied oy | one stroke yesterday. The office of the Unitea States Atto ney at Pheenix received in yesterday's mell & pe;sonal note irom Attorney-Gen- eral McKenna which brougut the negotia- | tions concerning the m e bottle to a | sveedy conclusion, and the office of :he | United States Attorney at Prcenix is now | prepared 1o transact whatever officiel business may come;before it. In this let- ter tie Attorney-General “authorized and | empowered the United States Attorney, bis assistant, or clerk, to go out into the | open local market and purchase one (1) | quart bottle of muciage of standare grade, peying therefor the current mar- | ket price, a bill for the amount of which | may be inclosed in the next_quarterly re- port frcm the «ffi e f the Unitet States | Atterney at Phaenix to the Department of Justice at Wastinzton.”” The muciage was purchased at once, Mr. Ellinwood advancing the moner 10 | the Government in fear that the order | from the Attorney General might be re- scinded in the following maii and the ne- gotiations reopened. e Ends a Career of Misfortune, SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14.—George Webot, a ted suicide in a D-street loiging-house to- day by shooting nimself through the bead with a revolver.
