rushing It through with the prestige which would attach to the tariff branch of the bill. The appropriation committee Is making irood progress in the large appropriation bills Wore It. but there is no prospect of an immediate report on any of them. The committee on rivers and harbors will have dally sessions during the week to brine forward the completion of Its bill. The military committee is fairly well along in the appropriation bill for the United States Military Academy. The other committees will do much during the coming week in formulating their work for the session. Work for the Senntc. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The principal Item of the Senata programme for the week has been, agreed upon. It is to be he consideration of the federal elections bill, which Is to be taken up after tha conclusion of the morning business on Tuesday. This programme, like all other prearrangements In the Senate, is subject to chance, but it is believed that it will be practically observed in this instance, except In one contingency, prominence of the Hawaiian matter. If the federal elections bill be allowed to hold Its place in the calendar and to be taken up it will doubtless give rise to some partisan speeches on both sites of the chamber. While It would seem probable that there will be almost. If not quite, a solid party vote against trie repeal of the existing laws, tnere arc a great many Republicans too indifferent to the question to exert themselves to the extent of making speeches against it. The opposition will ba led by the New Kngland Senators, and in this Senators Hoar, Frye and Chandler are expected to take leading parts. There will probably also be speeches from oth?r Itefublican Senators in the debate. Vhile it s not believed that there will be any factious opposition or any effort at delay merely for the sake of delay, the bill may drag on for several days or even for two or three weeks, one or two speeches being made on a day end then several days skipped. It is not supposed that there will be u persistent effort to put it through to the exclusion of everything else, as there was in the case of the silver repeal bill. The probabilities are that it will be interlarded with much other business on the part of the Senate, and an early adjournment at the end of the week over Sunday. sihixui:iis 1IAVK HILL..

Its Provisions Inkc It a . Sulmtltntc for the State Itnnk I den. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Chairman Springer, of the House committee on banking and currency, Intends to have his general banking measure laid before the House immediately after the disposal of the tariff bill, and . pushed to immediate action. He believes that he can have it reported from the Senate committee on finance in advance of a report from that body on the tariff bill, so as to get it into law before the tariff Is taken .up in the Senate. It Is the purpose of the finance committee to give hearings to those interested In the tariff, and to keep' the Wilson bill in its hands Borne weeks, probably two months, so that If there Is to be any relief to the country from an enlargement of the circulating medium, and the Springer bill is to be the means of that relief, there is logic In the claim that it should be given precedence over the tariff bill by the finance committee. In view of .the fact that the committee can probably pass upon it at one sitting. "It Is the height of my ambition," said Chairman Springer to your correspondent to-day, "to have my banking bill rise above party lines and indorsed by Republicans as well as Democrats. I have striven to eliminate every feature from the bill which could give it the slightest taint of partisanship or sectionalism. It Is not a blow at the State bank proposition, and should not in any way interfere with It, unless, possibly, an immense enlargement of the national bank circulation would so decrease the demand for It as ' to ruin the . chances of that Idea; nor is it In any way in conflict with the proposed bond issue or certificate or treasury note propositions. It stands alone as a means of continuing the national banking system and making it of w-icn elastic and expansive character as to be not only a benefit to those engaged in it, but to the country at large. I have drawn all of the fire of the North against the deposit of' State, county and municipal, bonds as se'curity for national bank circulation on the ground that it anticipates the use of worthleys securities from the South, by providing that there shall be received no bond from any State, county or municipal organization that has ever forfeited interest or repudiated a debt. Under the provisions of my bill there are in existence only about the par value of one billion dollars' worth of civil bonds which could be accepted by the Treasury Department as security for rational bank circulation, and I doubt if there are more than half that amount out of the hands of trusts aid other places, so that I do not think there will be more than a half million dollars worth of these bonds deposited under some years to secure bank circulation. As I propose to give 90 per cent, of circulation upon these bonds, that would give us under the present status about $450,O'i0,0'O more of the circulating medium. These bonds, after having been indorsed by the banks, are better security to the government than her own bonds. I propose to allow banks par value of circulation on government bonds because those are rapidly going out of existence and command a premium so high as to make circulation based upon them unprofitable." "Inasmuch as the circulation under your bill is exempt from local taxation would that not be more desirable to banks than free State bank circulation?" was asked. I'ruioubteJly; and that is why." replied Chairman Springer, "my proposition to enlarge the circulation of the country through the r.rtionnl bonking system may undermine tb? State bmk scheme. State bank circulation at best would have to pay local taxes, while circulation under the provisions of my measure would bo exempt from taxation of every character. I exempt it from taxation because the securities upon which it Is b-ASfd.are tnken away from home and deposited here in Washington and are not under the control of the owners. After all there Is not a fmnk or honest man of intelligence who will not acknowledge that our national banking system is the safest and best for the country of any that we have ever hful. What we want is a perpetuation of it on a basis which will make it sufficiently desirable to those who have It issued to keep up a volume large enough to meet the demands of the country, and at the same time not make it so profitable as to operate an injustice upon those who are not in the national banking business. An3 sane man must acknowledge, however, that a national banker as well as a State banker has enough business sense to refuse to take out any more circulation than he is compelled to issue unless there is some .profit to him; and it is therefore absurd to talk about placing such restrictions and burdens upon national bank circulation as will make it unprofitable to the bankers. We want to take care of the commercial Interests of the country: want a currency medium clastic and broad enough to meet all emergencies, securing the holder and the banker, and we must get above this little local Idea if we intend to accomplish any- " thing which will jjuard against such destructive currency famines and panics as vre have recently experienced." I112ADV FOR THIS SIIKLF. Conffremminn Ilolmnn Im ii It nek .Number nnl LonKfr I'mc'iiI. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Poor old 'objector" Holman has not only lost his cunning, but has become so reckless of his name, his influence and honor as to lend them to Tom, Dick and Harry for almost any purpose they may have In view. The name that was once in Congress a power and a synonym for all. that was clean and good is now a byword. The town has been commenting all day upon his unfortunate connection with ths investigation by the House naval committee into the allowance of bounties or premiums to shipbuilders for extraordinary speed. In his resolution calling for an Investigation, Holman alleged that there was fraud, collusion, etc., and money payments to shipbuilders without merit. Before the committee he acknowledged that he knew nothing of the truthfulness of the allegations, and referred the committee to a man who, wnrn summoned, also acknowledged that he knew nothing. Then a letter was produced signed by this latter witness, written some time before the introduction of the Holman resolution, in which he stated that he knew things which the ship-builders ought to know about their wrongfully receiving speed bounties, and intimating that a congressional investigation was about to to ordered, thus leaving the Intimation that It might be well for the llrm receiving the bounties or premiums to "see" him. In the face of tha admissions of this witness, whose motives could not have been above suspicion, and his letter, which covered his designs, the investigation will be abandoned. It leaves poor William Steele Holman in a terrible situation, one excltlnr pity or disgust, or both. lie is no doubt hoDst, but was duped. His credulity is ruinou. It la believed here that ths oil

man has lost his usefulness, and that It Is tim? for the voters of the Fourth Indiana district to excuse him from further service in Congress.

Action of Fi-Inco Wine Denier. SAN FItANCISCO. Jan. 7. At a meeting of the San Francisco Wine Dealers Association held In. this city yesterday to consider the pertinent clauses of the Wilson tariff bill it was shown how an ad valorem duty of 100 per ceni. on foreign wines, carried out as pressed in the bill, would yield no more than ?t7iJ.o revenue, while operating to destroy an industry involving fci.'j.frto.uOo. It was decided to advise California's representatives and Senators to take action In having tlimtnatcd from the bill the provision limiting duty on wine to H) per cent, of its declared value and permitting th use of sugar and alcohol spirits in the manufacture of sweet wines. It was also resolved that Fred Jarobi, of New York, be authorized to represent the Wine Dealers' Associati'v In Washington. Copies of the resolutions were telegraphed to all California Washington Representatives. Mr. t'kreHH Ftmcrnl.

Representative Jason B. Rrown continues absent from his seat in the House. He Is at home looking after a renomlnation. He has told his friends here that he is in the field for an aggressive race and a fight to the finish. To-day's Washington's Post says: "A most charming function was Mrs. Bynum's rose luncheon on Friday. Ijo.

Nearly 20,000 Men Are Idle and a Cut from 70c to 56e Demanded. CINCINNATI, Jan. 7. The State convention of miners at Columbus, this week, is awaited with great anxiety. About twenty thousand idle or partially employed miners in the State are now In distress. A differential of 9 cents between the Pennsylvania and Oh o districts prevails by agreement, the rate being 70 cents per bushel In this State and 73 cents in Pennsylvania. The rate at Pittsburg for months has been from Z2 cents to Co cents. In the Hocking Valley and Ohio districts the seventy-cent rate has been maintained, but the operators could not meet Pittsburg prices with a margin of 5 cents to 17 cents against them, and their men have been idle. The work costs more in the Ohio districts. The operators will ask the convention to reduce the rate from 70 cents to 56 cents, but President Nugent says many of the delegates are instructed, and it may be difficult to meet the rate prevailing in Pittsburg districts with the usual differential. Everything was prostrated ten years ago by , general strike in the Hocking Valley, and general distress prevailed there twenty years ro under similar conditions. It Is feared oat another decennial of misery among th miners Is likely to come after the convention. BrlcWlnycrs and Masons. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 7. Delegates are arriving to-night to attend the annual convene tlon of the Bricklayers' and Masons'. International Union, which will be opened at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning and will remain in session about two weeks. President John Hearts, of Denver, of the general organization, said to-day: "The Bricklayers' and Masons' International Union has felt the general depression to a great extent, still very few of our subordinate unions have had to succumb and, I may say, we have tost less unions by disbanding than I anticipated from the condition of trade throughout the country. We have about 340 unions on our roll, which would give a representation in convention of about one thousand, providing each union sent its proportion. Usually we have from 150 to 2vQ delegates; but owing to the depression throughout the country we do not expect but eighty delegates. ' The greater number of our unions are situated in the extreme eastern portion of the country. 1 am greatly in favor of arbitration as a means of settling all our disputes, and in fact, our international law requires all honorable means by arbitration and otherwise shall be tested before a strike shall be resorted to, and in our organization the day of the strikes is fast passing away." V - Call for Gins Mnnufucturers. PITTSBURG, Jan. 7. The window glass manufacturers, Western Flint Bottle Manufacturers' Association and the National Green Glass and Phial Manufacturers' Association will hold meeting? in this city the coming week." The window glass manufacturers have no longer an association, and when Inquiry was made as to who called the meeting it was learned that it was President Bodine, of the United Glass Company. Mr. Bodine was president of the old National Glass Association, which existed yenrs ago, and It is said his object in calling the manufacturers together was to have them exchange views on the changes in the tariff and its effect in the labor cost. A manufacturer said yesterday that it was probable the meeting would drum up a protest a?;alnst the reduction in the window glass schedule and appoint a committee to go to Washington.

All Indiana Man Will Sail for the South Seas on a Rich Quest. Damaging Evidence TI1113 Far Against Kokomo Conspirators Returns from Republican Conventions. VALPARAISO, Ind., Jan. 7 Charles Henderson, of Wellstown, O., Is making arrangements to sail Feb. 15 from Philadelphia to the south seas to secure a hidden tieasure which he buried cn an island near the South American coast. He wrote to a fi lend here to join the expedition. Before the war Henderson was a subofficer on a slave vessel, making regular trips to Africa. One day the vessel was attacked by a United States man-of-war, and in their efforts to escape struck a rock, and the crew had to take to their boats. The captain told Henderson that he had $73,000 in gold aboard, and if he would assist- him in secreting It from the crew he would give him half. They reached the island and buried the gold in a cave. The captain and four of the crew died of smallpox two weeks later, and while trying to leave the Island, the boat capsized, drowning all but Henderson and one companion, who" was picked up by a pnsxing vessel and carried to New Orleans. He lately has fallen heir to a legacy of $50,000 In Philadelphia, from where he returned Tuesday, having purchased a vessel called the Firefly, which he is having remodeled and will be called the Flora K. Pine. The party will sail under a passpcrt as a party of American excursionists t visit all places in south seas. 1IOL3IAVS FOES. They Are Making Their Vunl Effort to llrlns About His Defeat.

ABOUT THE FAST STEPPEIIS. Wonderful Stud Record of Axtcll Note from Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 7. Samuel McKeen has sold to John Holmes, of Apalachia, N. Y., Bonlta, the five-year-old pacing mare, for $1,000. She has no record, but much speed. She Is by Bona Fide,, dam Roxana. Samuel Fleming has sold the roan pacing gelding, F. M. B. A., to Boney Mllner, of Van Wert, O., for $1,000. Fleming took the gelding out of a plow last year and found that he had speed. Before the season was over he showed that he could go In 2:13. Late In October he was given a record of 2:274. The Axtell syndicate has been striking a balance in the stallion's account and find that he has earned up to the first of the year jno.Ow In stud fees. Of this all but $1,000 has been collected. No other stallion ever earned anything near this amount. When the syndicate bought him the day he nvide his record of 2:12 here, it paid (5. W . W Illlams Ji,000 in cash and gave note for $30,000 at 6 per cent, for one year. With the Interest the stallion cost $108,000. His fee has been reduced to $200. and it is be yond doubt that a total of $200,000 will be reached. lth him at v arren ParK now are twenty-eight of his two-year-old colta in charge of II. P. Kelley ("Bull Puncher") who is known as the driver of American Girl. It is confidently expected that this year more Axtell two-year-olds will go into the list than stand to the credit of any stallion. He is the only horse that ever held the thre3-year-old trotting record (2:12) and at the same time the stallion record. He is the only seven-year-old that had two trotters In the 2:20 list, and is the only seven-year-old that put three three-year-old trotters in tne list the same season. Rody Patterson will have charge of Greenlander and Seaside this year. It is probable that he will accept an offer from the Evansville association to train at the track In that city and take charge of It this seasno. Will Duncan, of this city, will soon issue the Horseman's Annual, a directory and guide book. He has the names and addresses of seven thousand persons interested in tha light-harness horse.

Last Execution on the Snn-Kled Hock I'nder Seminole Laws. New York Recorder. Two Indians, Charley Frog and John Wolf, killed another Indian named David Harg in a quarrel over a card game. Hars was a married man, and his murderers were 3oung bucks. There were no arrests made, and the murderers walked about as free as any other man in the village. Though they knew that death would be the penalty of their crime, they made no effort to escape. ear of being branded cowards forbaile any avoidance of the consequences of their crime. The game of cards was scarcely interrupted by the tragedy. It was merely delayed long enough to remove the body of the dead man and then playing was resumed as before. The next day a council of the head men of the village assembled to take action on the murder. They set-the eighth day after the commission of the murder for the trial of the accused and then adjourned. The two murderers and the widow of Harg, o3 well as his children, an aged mother and other relatives, were before the council. The eighth day came, and at dawn the village council was in session. The trial was held in front of the principal chief's house. The head men of the village were seated in a semicircle, their backs toward the rising sun. The small open space In front was hemmed in by the villagers. To the left of the semicircle sat the widow Harg, her children and the mother of the murdered man. an aged, decrepit hag. At the opposite side were Wolf and Frog, apparently unconcerned over the proceedings. They stood upright, facing the council, a smile of disdain on their faces. Their arms were folded across their breasts, inclosing their rifles, for they were not even disarmed. When all was in readiness the chief of the village, as head of the council, arose in his place and. looking straight ahead, said: "Charley Frog and John Wolf, vou have shed blood. The laws of the Spirit Father demand that blood shall be wiped out with blood. You have killed David Harg, therefore shall ye. also die. It has been so decreed by our laws." Then Frog stepped forward and pleaded that two lives be not taken for one; that he should die. but that Wolf be spared. As he finished Wolf made the same plea, except that he should be the one to die. Then the wife and the mother of Harg came forward, shrieking for vengeance and demanding the lives of the two men. The chief passed the pipe and all the council smoked. Then the chief sentenced both men to die "when the sun shall kiss Death Rock to-morrow." Thus was finished the trial, arguments, charge, verdict, all, and less than two hours had been consumed. Wolf and Frog turned and walked away, no effort being made to detain th:m. They were as free as before, although now under sentence of death. On the outskirts of the Seminole villaga was "Death Rock," a larsre, flat stone rising only a foot or so Hbove the surface of the ground. Here, before the time set for the execution, crowds began to gather. Wolf and Frog were anions: the first to come. Thev were arraved in a war costume, their faces streaked with bright paints. Each led his horse and carried his gun. Half an hour later the executioners, six men. all related to the dead man and chosen by the widow, apreared. Their comin? was the signal for Wolf and Fro? to begin the chanting of the death song of the Semlnoles. At tirst they sang in a low voice, and could scarcely be heard a dozen yards away, but as they proceeded their words grew louder and their voices swelled out In the clear morning air, full and strong. The six executioners, each armd with a rifle then took their places at a point about twentv paces away from the doomed men. As they spread out in a line, each about an arm's length from the other. Wolf and Frog ceased their song. They folded their arms, inclosing their rifles exactly as on the day of the trial, and faced the six men. All was ready. It needed onlv the "kiss" of the sun against Death Rock. Again, as the sun's rays came nearer and nearer, the wild words of the Seminole death song rolled forth from the mouths of Wolf and Frog. The words of the second line were scarcely spok when a srot of i sunshine touched the feet of the two men. That instant six rifles spoke as one and. six bullets sped straight to their marks in the bosoms or I ro ami Wolf. Blood had leen wiped out by blood," ani the murder of Harg was avenged.

"More European emigrants are nrw returning to Kurope than immigrants r coming from Europe to tho United States." Superintendent Stump made this assertion yesterday, much to the astonishment of a reporter. "More than that." contined Colonel Stump, "this state of affairs has existed since October, and will probably continue for some time to come. Immigration at this season is lighter than usual, and from my talks with and letters from steamship people I think the Immigration this spring and summer will continue llht." "What's the cause of this?" ws asked. "I attribute It." said Colonel Stump, "to our laws regulating immigration and their rigid enforcement. Every immigrant returned hinders a hundred from coming, as they are told the rigors of the law. It is having a wholesome effect." Ilrtizllfnn ews. Judge. Editor Any fresh news from Praatl?
