Report of Monetary Commission
to Be Published Soon. '
A BILL N OW BEING DRAWN
House Banking and Currency Conn—
mitiee to Grant :1 Hearing on the
Proposed Legislation - May Be
Suppo‘rtcd by \Veslern Senators.
IVashington, Dec. 28.—The action of
the House Committee on Banking, in
voting to postpone the. consideration of
general legislation until after the re-
port 01" the Monetary Commission. is
‘causing much interest as to what the
report will centain. The controversy
between Secretary Gage and some of
the Western Senators over' the Secre-
tary‘s declaration for the gold stan-
dard has led some Republicans to hope
that the commission’s report will not
go so far as the plan of Secretary Gage
in increasing the bonded, debt.
The members of the committee were
united in support of the gold standard,
but some of them believe that the re-
dundant mass of Government paper
could be diminished without the issue
of a large mass of gold bonds. If this
sho,.id prove to be the character of
then- report it might be possible for,
”Wt. stern Senators to support it who
are. not willing to support Mr. Gage's
plan. .
The report of the commission will be
made public within the next ten days,
and the full text will be furnished to
the newspapers, to members of Con-
gress and students of finance. The re-
port will present a comprehensive plan
for dealing with the legal tender notes,
the banking system and the existing
silver coins, in accordance with the rec-
ommendations of the three sub-com-
mittees appointed by the commission.
A bill carrying out the recommenda-
tions of the commission will be pre-
pared, but probably will not be ready
for publication until a few days after
the report. . '
Chairman Walker, of the Banking
Committee, has intimated that no plan
would be considered by the committee
which was not presented in the form of
a. bill. The Monetary Commission pro-
poses to meet his suggestion in this re-
spect, and ex-S cretary Fairchild is at
the head of a sub-committee which is
now engaged in the preparation of a
complete measure. E'very branch of
thereport of the commission, including
the protection of the fiscal department
of the Treasury, will probably be com-
prehended in one bill, in order that the
entire problem of the finances may be
dealt with by the Banking Committee.
Chairman Walker has already been
asked to grant a hearing to representa-
tives of the commission, and it is prob-
able that ex-Senator Edmunds and
other leading members, including one
or more of those from. the South, will
be heard in support of the report. It
is understood also that the leading
boards of trade will send delegations to
Washington to ask hearings from the
Committee on Banking. -
BRITAIN’S BIG PACIFIC FLEET.
Four More Warships Arrive on the ~
California. Coast.
San Diego, Cal., Dec. 28,—The British
cruiser Leander and the torpedo-de-
stroyer Virago have arrived here on
the way to Esquimault, B. C. The
warships left England last August, and
have maintained an average speed of
twelve knots. =
The Leander is a second-class cruiser
of 4,300 tons and has a speed of sixteen
knots. The Virago is one of several=
torpedo destroyers built last year. She
is reputed to have a. speed of thirty
knots. The two vessels will (cal to-
morrow and will leave for Esquimault,
calling at San Francisco on the way.
The cruiser Phaeton and the de-
stroyer Sparrowhawk, are following
the Leander and Virago, and are ex-
pected to arrive here within two weeks.
The Phaeton and Leander are sister
ships, as also are the Sparrowhawk and
Virago. -
\X'ith these vessels added to the' Es-
;uimault squadron, Great Britain will
have the strongest 'fieet by far that
has ever assembled in the North Pa-
cilic.
Xiiilcd in :1 Mine Shaft.
IVilkes‘zaarre, Pa, Dec. 28.-—John Ag-
new and Thomas Kennedy met a hor-
rible death yesterday in the Allen
shaft. They had been sent down the
shaft to cut the ice which prevented
the carriage from running. Starting
at the top, contrary to "custom, they
cut away the ice until the car had de-
scended 200 feet, when it stuck. The
men could not signal the engineer and
the rope continued to coil on top of the
bonnet of the scar until its weight
forced the carriage beyond the ice for-
mation. The car then descended swiftly
until the rope broke, when it fell 450
Eeet. The men were dashed to pieces.
The engineer said he had warned the
men to begin cutting the ice at the
bottom.

The People of Norwalk ‘Are
Vitally Interested.
One Case anti There are Others.
There is a large body of bolter'c in
Norwalk and vicinity.
The movement has been gaining
force for‘some time and has become so
' powerful that. those interested are anx-
iou3' to declare themselves. They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of
treating catarrh and hay fever.and they
have come out, in full force for Califor-
nia. Catarrh Cure, because they have.
tried it and know its worth. . Here are
words from a. Noi‘walk man who- has
tried many medicines and treatments
before he got what he wanted in Cali-
fornia. Catarrh Cure, the greatest and
only known cure for catarrh.
Mr. Alfred Plato, 9 Maple street, Nor-
walk, says: “I have been a great. suf-
ferer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. . My. whole head
seemed full ‘of scabs, and the discharge
from the nOse and into the throat was
something awful. My head ached al-
most continually, and I never got a
good“ night’s sleep. 'I procured a bottle
of California Catarrh Cure at. Plaisted’s
drug store, South Nor-walk. It has
given me more relief than I have had
for years; my head is very much im-
proved and I can now sleep all. night.
It is certainly a. great relieVer, and I
am glad to recommend it. Nothing
among,r all the things I tried before
helped me one quarter as much in
months, as C. (3. C. has inafewweeks.”
ICalifornia Catarrh Cure will do for
all cases what. it did for Mr. Platt; it
breaks up the worst colds, prevents
more colds and cures the worst forms
of chronic catarrh.
Sold by all dealers. A bottle for 500.
Three times as much for $1.

How Present Day Things Will Appear to
the Scientists of 2000.
, The party of scientists and antique.-
iians‘who were exploring the Rocky
Mountains in the spring of the year
2,000 mounted on their new '00 model
bikes, suddenly heard a loud cry of
triumph from the lips of Prof. Rubber-
tire, of the Smithsonian Institution,
who was some distance ahead.
Hastenlng forward they found the
Professor standing'by the side of the
moldering remains of a. wagon. In
front of the decaying fragments lay
the petrified remains of four extinct
animals.
“See!” said the Professor, pointing
to the animal to the right, nearest the
wagon. “We have found the missing
link between that noble machine, the
bicycle, and the animal kingdom at
last.” _
“What is it?” asked the! excited
group.
‘f'l‘hat, gentleman,” said the profes-
sor is undoubtedly the fossil remains
of a wheel horse."—Detroit Free Press.
A Custom Among the Crates.
(In Crete a number of individuals
often choose a young girl, who must be
pretty—no diflicult matter in Crete.
They inform her parents of their inten-
tion, and the needful consent is never
“‘withheld. Then a. priest is sent for
‘ audio-1d to-begin the ceremony.
He
tak'e's,‘a:=,:very long girdle and joins all
thegfinen with it in a. circle, in the cen-
ter-ot'which the young girl is placed.
Thefthe clergyman recites a. number
of. prayers and winds up by giving his
benediction to all present. The mo—
ment he pronounces the last amen the
circle and its center stand in the rela-
tion of brothers and sister to each oth-
er to all religious and social intents
and purposes. Each and every one of
the males is bound in honor to protect
that girl throughout her life, but none
of them can take her for his Wife. She
is and remains their sister to the end
of her days.
Couldn't See Through It.
There is a. little girl living . out on
Tilden—ave. who is rapidly causing her
father’s hair to assume the color of .
the driven snow.- u,
The other day she looked up ’at him
from between his knees, and asked:
“Papa, was it a wise pegon who
said ‘the good die young?’ ’.--,
“Yes,” said the musing ’man, “I
guess so.” '
“Well," she went on, after thinking
It over for sometime, “I’m not so
much surprised about you; but I don’t
see how‘ mamma ever managed to get
gI-ou'ed.gup."—?Cleveland Leader.
Sad Meeting. .
Two wan, ghastly, forlorn spectres
encountered each other unexpectedly.
"Let me pass!” exclaimed one of the
two, with a feeble attempt to be haugh-
ty and scornful. “I am ‘Trilby.’ ” _
“I will,” replied the other in a hol-
low cough, stepping aside. “I believe
you are (leader than I am. I’m ‘Thc
Heavenly Twins.’ ”—_Cbicago Tribune.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Nurse.
Alison Cunningham, Robert Louis
Stevenson’s old nursegwas much. be-
loved by him, and he sent her a copy
, of each of his books, with his own in-
scription on the‘ fly leaf. Generally
the inscription is just a. line or two:
“Alison Cunningham, from her boy,"
or “from her laddie.” .But one of the
volumes—“An Inland Voyage" (1878)
—contains the following: “My Dear
Cunning—It you had not taken so
much trouble with me all the years of
my childhood, this little book would
never have been written. Many a
long night you sat up with me when
I was ill. I wish I could hope, by way
of 'returu, to amuse a single evening
for you with my little book! But
whatever you may think of it, I know
you will‘continue to think kindly of
