CDRMNCY MEASURES. *'*■*'’ ■— Chairman Springer Introduces a Substitute For the Carlisle Bill. THE CHANGES NOT RADICAL. Naw Street System For Extending th. Capital—Proposition to Repeal the Differential Duty on Hagar—lmportant Decision From the Secretary of the Interior—The Gold Reserve Reduced. Washington, Dec. 22.—After a conference between the Democratic members of the house committee on banking and currency, and with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, Mr. Springer has introduced a substitute for" the Carlisle currency bill. It substantially a new measure, although containing uo radical changes, some of the sections of the original measure being retained in the new bill. An entire new provision is attached relating to state banks and is as follows: “Whenever the secretary of the treasury and the controller of the currency shall be satisfied that any banking corporation duly organized under,the laws of any state, and which transacts no other than a banking business, as provided in this section, has been incorporated under the laws of the state in which it is located, which laws require that the stockholders shall be individually liable for the redemption of its circulating notes to the full extent of their ownership of stock, and that such laws require that the circulating notes thereof shall constitute a first lien upon all the assets of the bank, and also- that such laws require such bank to keep on deposit at all times with au official of- the state authorized by laiv to receive and hold the same a guarantee fund as required in the fourth paragraph oi this section, they shall issue to said bank a certificate to that effect. Thereupon said bank may issue its notes as provided in this act, ana thereafter the tax of 10 per cent heretofore imposed by law upon the circulation of the notes of state banks shall not be assessed or collected upon the notes of such basks unless it . appears that such bank has issued circulating notes in excess' of 75 per cent of its paid up and unimpaired capital or that its capital is impaired and has remained so for 30 days, or that the bank has not kept on deposit with the state official authorized by law to receive and hold the same a guarantee fund as required in tho fourth paragraph of this section, or that said bank has not promptly redeemed its notes in lawful money at par on demand at its principal office or at one or more of its branch offices, if it has branch offices; and that no person or corporation other than the batik issuing such notes in violation of the provisions of this act shall be liable to the tax of 10 per cent upon the circulating notes of state banks as now provided by fitw. ” --—- — — WASHINGTON OF THE FUTURE. Proposed Lines of Expansion to the Capital City, ‘ Washington, Dec. 22.—The completion of a portion of Professor Olmstead's work on the platting of the Washington of the future make plain some of the lines on which the expansion of the city will move. There are only two directions in which Washington can expand. The Potomac and the Anacosta river bound it on the east and south.” Its northern boundary was originally au old wagon road from Georgetown to Bladensburg, and its western limit was Rock creek, but it has passed both of these limitations and has gone two ffiiles beyond the old Maryland wagon road, which has now, with all its angles -and curves, become Florida avenue. Georgetown has been swallowed up. Parts of a new Washington on the hights beyond the old town are being included. Avenues and Boulevards. Under the present surveys and plats Sixteenth street Northwest will become, for the president’s house and its surroundings, \yhat North, South and East Capitol streets are for the capitol, and what Four and a Half street is for the city hall—a spacious avenue terminating in a magnificent building. It will, under the new plan, early become one of the principal streets of the new Washington, extending six miles from the president’s house to Maryland. Under the new plan tho intersection of Sixteenth street and New Jersey avenue will be the meeting place of two spacious avenues, one south, to the white house, and the other southwest, to the capitol. Most of the streets will run north on their present lines. Rock Creek park will be connected by a boulevard 220 feet wide with the soldiers” home and on the south of the Zoological park, a romantic avenue will be laid out to connect some wide streets passing through the city with the Mall and the River park, which will be established in the future on the western portion of the Potomac made lands above the long bridge. As a result a seven-mile driving belt road of''highland and lowland streets and woods, country, park and river side will become one of the fainous drives of the world. Swaim's Retirement. Washington, Dec. 22.—Il’oday at noon Judge Advocate General David B. Swaim became eligible for retirement, "having reached the age of 63 years, and it is expected that an order will be issued retiring liiyn immediately, as he has applied forAuch Action. Coxey at'lt Again. Washington, Dec. 22. — Coxey and Browne, who made such a stir here last summer, were at the capitol yesterday to resume their efforts in behalf of the Coxey bills—one for good roads and the other for “noninterest bearing bonds.” Important Land Decision. Washington, Dec. 23.—The secretary of the interior has decided the long contested case of Hyde, McDonald and others vs. Emil Hartman et al, involving five euarter sections of mineral land

___ valued at about 11,000,000 in the neighborhood of Dnlnth, Minn. The .land was formerly covered by the Sioux halfbreed script locations which the secretary held to be invalid in a decision ren- , dered in February 1889. The main is-. sne was whether the former decision took effect upon the secretary’s signature or upon receipt at the Duluth land office. The decision holds that it took effect npon signature. It shuts out the claims of Andrus McDonald, T. W. Hyde, C. M. Massau and D. Sullivan and finds in favor of William Allen as to three of the five tracts and H. E. James and Emil Hartman as to one . tract each. " TO REPEAL DIFFERENTIAL. Chairman ’ Wilson Introduced a Bill to Chance tho Tariff Law. Washington, Dec. 22. — Chairman Wilson of the ways and means commit-' 1 tee has introducedJn the house a bill repealing that portion of the new tariff , act which imposes a-differeutial duty of 1-10 of 1 cent per pound on sugars imported from countries paying a bounty on sugar exported. The repeal of this duty was urged by President Cleveland ; in his annual message. Its incorporation in the tariff bill has been stated to be one of the reasons given by the German government for the prohibition of the importation of American meats into that country. In the House. Washington, Dec. 22. — The entire time yesterday was occupied in debate ' on the currency bill. Befoufe the close of the session Mr. Springer, chairman of the banking and currency committee, 1 presented amendments to the measure 1 agreed upon by the Democratic members of the committee and indorsed, it is said, by the secretary of the treasury.

Washington, Dec. 22. —Advices from ' New York state tfeat $1,400,000. in gold ; was yesterday withdrawn from the subtreasury, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $88,900,310.

A Force of the Explosion Destroyed Most of the Money. Monticello, Ills., Dec. 22.—Professional cracksmen gained entrance to the Mansfield State bank, north of here, forced the vault open, blew the safe to pieces and took everythign it contained. The force of the explosion almost wrecked the vault and destroyed nearly all the money in the safe, so that the robbers got only $320 belonging to the postmaster, which was not in the safe, and several hundred dollars of the bank’s money. About SI,OOO in bills was so mutilated that the safeblowers left it behind. It was blown into such small pieces that but little of it can be redeemed. The work is believed to have been done by four Chicago men. MISSOURI RISING. Narrow EscapS'of Four Ren Who Went Down With a Bridge.

NOT YCT A U. S. JUKB7 ■ Charges Preferred Against Charles D. Clark of Tennessee. WHAT IS SAID OF THE CASE. Confirmation Reconsidered at the Request of Senator Harris—Unveiling of Statues of Web.ter and Stark—Proceedings In I- House and Senate—Mr. Grow Offers a Currency Bill—Other News. Washington, Dec. 21.—1 n the executive session of the senate yesterday afternoon Senator Harris asked for a reconsideration of the vote confirming the appointment of Charles D. Clark as judge of the Eastern and Middle Tennessee district of the United States court to Mwceed D. M. Key. The request was based on charges filed with the senator, but no senator could be found who would talk about them. Attorney General Olney said, however, that the charges were of the most serious nature and were filed by a reputable New York firm. Had they been presented a day later, he added, it would have been too late to recall the confirmation, as the time limit within which such an action could be taken would have expired, but he would have withheld the commission he was about to sign under the circumstances. The senate judiciary committee will investigate the matter at once. It is reported thkt the charge is that Clark & Brown, of which firm the appointee is a member, are charged with having accepted fees on both sides of a case. A dispatch from Chattanooga says the charge comes from W. G. McAdoo, a young man in tho brokerage business in New York who formerly resided in this city and was associated in the practice of law with J. B. Barr. Judge Key, Mr. Brown (Clark’s partner), J. B. Barr (McAdoo’s partner) and other prominent lawyers of that state have telegraphed that the charges are untrue and that confirmation should not be delayed. 1 UNVEILING CEREMONY. Public Look Upon the Additions to the National Collection. Washington, Dec. 21.—The veiling that has concealed the statues of Daniel Webster and General John Stark which have been placed in the extreme north end of Statue . y hall in the national capitol as the gift of the people of the state of New Hampshire was quietly removed yesterday and the public was for the first time permitted to look upon these latest additions to the national collection .of memorial figures. The unveiling ceremony was as simple as it was possible to make it. and consisted in lifting from the marble columns the shrouds of canvass with which they were covered. When the figures were disclosed there was a sound of applikise from the New Hampshire men. The face of Webster shows its characteristic vigor. He stands erect, clad in the oldtime dresscoat and choker, his left hand grasping a roll of manuscript. General Stark wears the continental uniform and his right hand holds the hilt of a sheathed sword. The senate and house ’noth took appropriate action upon the reception of the worksof art, but not in the haH where the statues stood. There were appropriate speeches and resolutions. ' Brief Debate oil Currency Bill. Washington, Dec. 21.—The debate on the currency bill was comparatively brief in the house yesterday owing to the exercises in connection with the acceptance of the statues of Webster and Stark. Messrs. Sperry (Dem., Conn.) and Brossius (Rep., Pa.) of the banking and currency committee, championed and opposed the measure respectfiilly. The former was opposed to various features of the bill, but declared his intention of voting for it if nothing better could be seeured. The speaker laid the Bering sea correspondence before the house and then the house adjourned. Grow’s Currency Bill. Washington, Dec. 21.—Representative Grow of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill to amend the national banking act. It authorizes the deposit of legal tenders instead of bonds to secure circulation. The circulating bank notes are to be exempt from taxation and are to have the legal tender qualities and the same form of redemption as the old national bank notes. Monument For Washington. Washington, Dec. 21. — Secretary Gresham has selected a design for a monument to mark the birthplace of George Washington at Wakefield, Va.

Breckinridge would resign his place as minister to Russia cannot be confirmed among those most intimate with him.
