Chairman Hanna was to have been the guest of honor but I at the last moment was del lined at I home and sent. Ins regrets. There were several congressmen from abroad ores J ent, among them C. H. Gro.-voiirv of
Ohio, who addressed tin
“Our Next Administration.” Among Other things hu said: "The next ad ministration will hi u Republican administration, and it will be founded upon Republican principles. It will be guided by Republican experience. It will administer the government for the interest of the ent ire American people 1 speak by no authority. I reproduce the utterance of no man. i bind no individual but myself by my utterance, but I proclaim without qualification my faith in the incoming administration. The re-enactment of a protective tariffpolicy, comprehensive, far-reuehing mid effective, is the duty of the hour laid upon the Republican administration and any hesitation, any halting, any trimming would Is- base betrayal of party obligations and base abandon-
ment of party duty.” RED CROSS SOCIETY.

IxitioiiK lieefti-vml.
Washington, Jau. 12.—Secretary Pullman of the Red Cross society says: In view of the deep interest manifested by the people of the United States in Cuban affairs, it is perhaps proper that it he slated that the American National Red Cross was officially tendered for service in Cuba, by its president a month ago, and Inter, Miss Barton ottered the individual services of herself and assistants, the saute us ill the relief expedition to Turkey, the two necessary conditions being that acceptance and entry be afforded by the Spanish government and the funds needed to supply such relief be provided, as was the case in the Armenian relief, by the American oeople. It is hut just to add that up to tin* present time, not u dollarfroui unv source ha- been offered, and the Spanish government is still holding the Red Cross projiosifion under
advisement.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. TwentyI staL** silv*»r CertificatttA—ll4MK!nption ot th** Hill. Washington. Jan. 12.—A dangerous counterfeit of the A3(t United Matos silver certificate lias been discovered. The note is of the series of lkill, check letter B. The most noticeable defect is in the treasury numbers, which, although of good color, are too heavy and out of alignment. The paper is good, and the silk threads of the genuine an cleverly imitated by pen-and-ink lines or the hack of the counterfeit note.

emergencies. I believe there is a very strong and constantly increasing conviriioliaiiiougourpeopleth.il some melluxl sUmild be adopted lor the retirement of the United States and treasury notes mid that they should not niucli longer in* loo-r-ated as a circulating medium. They have been u hi niter,i lice tl I the prosperity of our government for many years. They area constant im nine to our treasury reserve audio the credit of the government, ami when enerouclinieiits are made upon these reserves, commerce stands in fear and trembling. There seems to be a well defined conviction among business men from me experiences of Hie past that there should Is- no notes in circulation which should not lie retired when their office
im.- been fulfilled,
I would say that 1 see no reason why our national banking law should not be so amended a- to allow the iiatiomd banks to issue notes up to the par value of the bonds which they hold ns a basis for their issue, instead of issuing, as they are now compelled to do, only UO per cent of file par value of the bonds that cost them perhaps Us to 120. This would help in giving us a larger volume of circulation and be an inducement to the banks to issue nil the hills they could under the new law. Then, there is a tax of ! per cent on the issue of tin* national hunk circulation, ami I see no necessity for so large a tax as this, as it must ultimately is- paid by tinborrower. 1 believe that tin* tax should Im* reduced to of I per cent. I am sure the banker, merchant, professional man, manufacturer, farmer, miner, artisan, mechanic and laborer all have a community of interest m the cause we are hen- to promote. In the language of Benjamin Franklin 'We must an hang together or ha.ig separate.'' The country cannot, pernumtly prosper if any ol the essential interests are neglected or sni-rillced. All legislation should be for l iu* "greatest goon of the greatest
number "

Indianapolis. Ind., Jan. 12.—The intiugurel ceremonies occupied the attenteutiou of the legislature almost to the exclusion of everything else on Monday. The senate was in session during the morning only long enough to pass the bill appropriating money fi r the expenses of the session, and did not meet iu the afternoon. It was amended so as ■ 11 to t. $100,000, as the bill passed the- house. The amendment will probably^be concurred in by the house, for two years ago strict economy was practiced, but stiil there was a deficiency iu the appropriation, the amount being fixed at $100,000. The house held a brief session and adjourned until today. The only incident of the -ion was an effort to fi consider and upset tie rule* adopted last Friday. A motion to reconsider was offered by Representative Downing, and put to a vote after some time had been wasted in a parliament-
i ary wrangle. It was lest by a vote of i 51 to 47. Then Mr. Ware, another
Democratic member, offered a resol u-

Jan. 12. — Yesterday was practically the hist day of the senatorial struggle and it witnessed a final spurt by both the Fairbanks and MeKeen followings. The followers of Wallace and Taylor did not make very strenuous efforts. The [sisition of each of these candidates Inis been rather of a receptive nature. Mr. Fairbanks’ friends express surprise that all the candidates remained in the race. They had expected that one or two of them would withdraw before tin* time came for the caucus, hut it now seems certain that all four ot the names that have been considered, will be tin sen ted fo the caucus and that none of them will be without votes. Fairbanks' people claim from ->4 to t 8 votes, wltil" friends of Mr MeKeen coiioerii* but from 2ti to 118 votes. At the Fairbanks' rgir-ns hit yesterday then- were pro ent 4'J member- and 11 accounted for. Senator L. P. Newby was chosen as their candidate for chairman of the joint caucus and R"presentative Henderson for secretary. There was no loss of confidence on the part of the friends of Fairbanks and they regarded the thing as thoroughly
settled.
