TALK WITH CLLL03I. nil Yletra on Sennte neorjrnnlzatlon and the Intrr(u1e Commerce Lair, ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON', Oct. 15. Senator Cullom, cf Illinois, has come to Washington for the cession. Mr. Cullom Joins all other Republican Senators who have discussed the probability of a reorganization of the Senate in believing" that the Republicans will not fuse with the Populists merely for the paltry bit of patronage involved.. He discusses topics affecting: the Interstate-commerce laws with his usual keen grasp of the subject, for Senator Cullom Is the father of the Interstate-commerce laws. "I know nothing beyond what I see in the papers about an effort to renew the attempt to pass the pooling bJllvhich failed last ssion,': said he., 'I .think, however, that the business men afj very much better advised as to the effect of legislation than they have been. It seems to me that more of them are in favor of amending; the present law than they have ever ben. There Is a difference of opinion on this subject, even among railroad men." iaklng of Senator Sherman's attempt to brin the Pullman Palace Car Company under the Jurisdiction of the Interstate-commerce laws, Mr. Cullom said that when the Interstate-commerce laws were enacted, it was the belief, as It certainly was the Intention, to put the sleeping car companies as well as the express companies, except those specifically excepted under the laws. But these companies entertained a different view and. In some cases, the courts agreed with them. The Interstate-commerce committee had certainly tried to bring the companies under the law. The attempt to do so will, very probably, be renewed at the next session of Congress. "There can be 'no doubt." concluded Henator Cullom. "that the law, as a whole, has been a great benefit to the people. And there can be no doubt that the extension of national control over the interstate railroads has met with the hearty approval of the people. I think there was no act of President Cleveland's administration which has so commended itself to approval as the steps he took during the recent great railroad troubles In the-West, when he acted on the opinion of Attorney-general Olney. asserting national Jurisdiction over interstate traffic." TO UK EXECUTED. Leaders of the Kn-Clicmc Rlnta Will Dp Pnnlslieil.WASHINGTOX. Oct. 13. Minister Denby and the British minister to China have succeeded In . overcoming the obstacles which threatened to make the Ku-Cheng commission a failure so far as it was intended to secure the punishment of the Chinese who were guilty of participation In the riots at Ku-Cheng. wherein much damage was done to missionary property an! great indignities heaped on the missionaries. At each 5tage the commission has been hindered In prosecuting Its inquiries by the local Chinese officials and the viceroy of the province of Sze-C.iuan himself has stood In the way of the punishment of the guilty. Finally appeal was made to the Tsung Li Yamen directly, and that body has acceded to the demands of the ministers, as was evidenced by a cablegram received at the State Department to-day from Mr. Denby, dated Peking. Oct. 11. which is substantially as follows. "Seventeen criminals will be executed at Ku-Cheng. The yamen agrees that all leaders in the rioting shall be executed, all participants sentenced and all Implicated be tried. The commission will probably be adjourned. An Imperial decree has juat'been issued, which refers all of the Sze-Chuan officials Implicated to a board for punishment. It is supposed that the adjournment of the commission referred to is based on the fact that it has concluded its work. It has been found impossible heretofore to induce the Chinese government to take any atepi to punish the officials whom the facts clearly showed to be In a large measure responsible for the riots.

The work consisted almost wholly In the drafting of a report by a subcommittee ana" its adaption by the board. This report was In the nature of a declaration of principles and may also be considered as a notice served on the political parties. In the addresses made, the growth and present strength of the order was a topic to which reference was frequently made. The A. P. A. was declared to be the dominant and controlling power in many cities. It was claimed by . the speakers that several States can now be swayed from one of the great national parties to the other' through the weight of the A. P.

VIEWS OF BANKERS

xnw ctnnnscY scheme proposed BY EX-UOVERXOR MERUIAM. Ilovr a Wentern Man Wonld Iteform the Present System Address by John r. O'Dcll. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13. The American Bankers Association began Its session in the Grand Opera House this morning at 10 o'clock, with an unusually large attendance of delegates and a liberal sprinkling of visitors and onlookers. The association was welcomed to the city by Mayor Porter King, and to the State by Hon. G. Gunby Jordan, president of the State Bankers' Association, in brief addresses. To these words of welcome President John J. P. O'Dell responded in behalf of the visiting bankers and delivered his annual address. In concluding, he said: "A year ago, at your convention in Baltimore, a plan for the reformation of our national currency system was adopted, and while the recommendations of the association did not meet with universal approval, the action of the convention gave rise to mo3t extensive agitation of the currency question, both in and out of Congress, and a great deal of valuable discussion followed. The effort of the association to deal with this subject has not been fruitless, and It Is to be hoped that the agitation thus initiated will continue until the government shall abandon the issuance of notes, and a more perfect currency system shall bo adopted. The evils of our present system were never more apparent than to-day. During the period since we last met together our country has passed through an experience that will not soon be forgotten. Following a season of universal liquidation and distress,, the country was confronted by a national treasury forced almost to the very verge of bankruptcy and was caved from this only by the heroic and patriotic action of a wise and courageous President. For weeks uncertainty and-confusion prevailed, and were not allayed until by the sale of a large amount of bonds the government recovered Its gold reserve. That this expedient offered but temporary relief we have had ample evidence, and the signs are not wanting to indicate that we have yet more trouble in store unless we shall depart entirely from the present make-s-hift and pernicious system of governmental note Issues. With a scientific monetary system, based upon the standard which has received the indorsement of the most civilized nations, we may feel assured that the Intelligent and energetic people of the United States will develop and utilize to an extent' beyond the dreams of the wildest visionary the marvelous resources which nature has bestowed upon us, until at last we shall take our true place among the nations of the earth, the foremost in material prosperity and moral worth, which will be manifested in the 'advancement of our arts and sciences and in the dally life of our people. To-day, were it not for our uncertain currency system, we might well congratulate ourselves upon the condition of affairs. Abundant crops have rewarded the labors of the husbandman, the wheels of industry are moving more smoothly and rapidly, confidence Is taking the place of doubt, assurance of hesitation, and n!together, the prospect, but for one single cloud, is full of encouragement. With the Increasing prosperity of tne people we may hope to prosper even as we suffer witn them In their misfortunes. To us, as bankers. Is committed the duty of maintaining the credit cf our people. This we can do by abiding by those principles of financial morality, the truth of which time and experience have demonstrated. Upon us. as an association, rests a large responsibility to combat error, to contend for the truth, to assist In raising the standard of commercial and national honor, to extend the sentiment of biotherly fellowship this Is our mission. Are we capable of discharging the trust? 1 th'nk we are." The report of the executive council was then read by Mr. K. H. Pullen, chairman. The treasurer's report was then read and accepted. t-Kx-Governor Merriam, of Minnesota, read a paper entitled "The Currency for the Twentieth Century," In which he outlined a currency scheme. His suggestion was, "that, say 40 per cent, of the capital of a national bank be invested in United States notes and circulation be Issued against the same, the bills remaining in tho hands of the treasury, and currency to an amount equal to the remaining CO per cent, of the capital stock to be delivered to the bank for Issuance when desired. Before the unsecured currency is forwarded, however, each bank should pay to the treasurer a Sum equal to 5 per cent, of Its capital stock as a 'bank circulation safety fund,' on which money the government should allow Interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum. The government, in the case of assets of Insolvent banks be insufficient to. reimburse it for the circulating notes of defaulting institutions, may assess each bank In the system pro ra'ta to an amount sufficient to fully indemnify It for any losses Incurred, but In any one year no Institution shall be assessed more than 1 per cent, of its average circulation for .the previous year. Inasmuch as there are likely to be at least four thousand banks organized under any national law, the Treasurer might act as redeeming agent for all of the banks, and each bank should at all times' keep with the treasurer 5 per cent, of Its capital stock as a redemption fund, which fund should be in gold coin, and held In trust for the specific purpose Intended. As fast as notes are redeemed, the bank should at once remit a sum that would repair any deficiency made by redemption and new notes be forwarded. "Inasmuch as the bank would make a profit out of the circulation not secured by United States notes or Sherman notes. It is right that all of the banks should pay a tax upon the unsecured notes to the government for. the privilege accorded them. This tax should be made sufficiently large to pay all the expenses of the office of the Controller, Including the printing of bank notes, engraving, etc., to pay the United States for the charters granted a handsome revenue, which should aid in defraying general expanse and to make the currency elastic. Every bank desiring to become national should pay a tax of 2 per cent, per annum on the amount of its average circulation. "It can at once be seen that whenever and wherever the demands for money are sufficiently active to enable banks to lend their funds at prices that will net them over 2 per cent, there will be an Incentive to put out the currency, but when it is worth less than that amount, as It has been In New York and Boston for some months, the unsigned bills would remain in vaults. The government would receive several millions of dollars per annum Into Its coffers to aid In paying its bills as a return for the privileges granted the banks. Tn addition the Interest on one hundred millions of gold now maintained in idleness would be saved, and the gold put into active use Instead of being out of the channels of trade, there being no further use for a 'gold reserve as the bulk of greenbacks and Sherman notes would be absorbed as a basis for currency or as a reserve against deposits In banks. That all parts of the countrv might have th advantage of the national svstem, banks should be nermitted to organize with a capital of S2T.(WY) or even less, thus encouraging State banVs to abandon their present characters. Bank desiring to organize under this plrr. should be examined bv n agent' of the. Controller and be permitted to begin business only uoon a certificate of the examiner, duly certlfving that the capital stock had been paid in actual cash." LABOR CONVENTIONS. Electricity and the Horse Discussed ly Horneshoera. DETROIT. Mich., Oct. 13. Electrlcltr and the bicycle and their effect on horseshoers was the subject of a paper read before the American Horseshoers Protective Association to-day by Q. C. Octigan. of Chicago. He said there could be no doubt that electricity was to an extent supplanting the horse. Of the bicycle Mr. Octigm was not afraid. After a long recess taken to attend the funeral of a local member, the convention went into execut've sess!on at 4 o'clock. The time was mainly occupied with a discussion of the advlabilty of first educating the craft in the matter of legislation for the purpose of compelling apprentices to pass an examination. The subject was referred back to the committee on legislation, science and resolutions. To-n!Kht the delegates attended a ball In their honor at Light Infantry armory. STTlfchmen Union. OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. 13. Every State in the Union was represented when the convention of the Switchmen's Union convened to-day. Three hundred delegates were present. The convention went into secret session, la which an address of welcoms was

extended to the delegates ty Frank W. Ober. president of the Y. M. C. A., which was responded to by a rising vote of thanks. The committee on credentials reported no contests. It is posslMe that the real work of the convention will be most manifest In a thorough revision of the constitution, so as to include an Insurance feature, but whether insurance will be optional or enforced on those who become members is not yet derided, and will probably evoke considerable debate.

Strike nt Phllndelpltln. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13. The sweatshop system has precipitated an extensive strike among the children's Jacket makers, which will affect over six hundred men, women and girls. The strike was declared to compel contractors to improve the conditions under which they are obliged to work. The strikers are all members of Local Assembly No. 1109, of the K. of L.. and they profess to have 510.000 in the treasury. It was stated at the strike headquarters that the contractors had agreed to accede to all the demands of the strikers. Strect-Rnllrvny Employe. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 13. The second day of the convention of the Amalgamated Association of Street-railway Employes of America was devoted largely to discussion of the extension of the ladles' auxiliary of the order. After a short session this morning, at which the rules of the convention were adopted, adjournment was taken to permit of committee work. This afternoon the revision of the constitution was begun, but little was accomplished beyond a decision to permit the present preamble to stand. ' Federated Metnl Trade.

NEW YORK CAMPAIGN

SPEECHES UY WARXER MILLER AND CHARLES EMORY SMITH. Appeal to People of Gothnm to Keep the Tammnny TI;er In Seclusion Thurston on Candidates. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. The first large mass meeting of the campaign was held in Cooper Union to-night under the auspices of the Re publican Club. The principal speakers were ex-Senator Warner Miller and Hon. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press. Ellhu Root presided. .The most interest centered in the speech of Warner Miller, the author of the Sunday plank in the State platform. He prefaced his remarks by saying that no one hut himself was responsible for them, t He said that the Republican party had done . more for home ride than the Democratic and that the Democratic demand for home rule was merely for making Sunday and excise laws, a power which he declared belonged to the State. Local opinion had been tried in the slavery question and resulted in a bloody war. The personal liberty cry was simply to enable Tammany to levy Infamous taxes. The continental beer garden might be a good thing for Europe, but Sunday opening in New York meant crimes and murders. . Mr. Smith was the last speaker. He said: "The good people of New York have united this year as they did last triumphantly then, and I trust and believe triumphantly now for redemption from the thralldom of Tammany Hall. Above and beyond ail party considerations, you have abundant reason to draw the fangs, and cut the claws, and starve the maw of the odious Tammany tiger. If, in the face of the amazing revelations of the past two years. New York could hesitate or falter in the struggle for tho complete overthrow of Tammany she might cry out: 'Alas, to make me a fixed figure for the time of scorn to point his slow, unmoving finger at.' " Tho speaker then spoke of the achievements of the Republican party during its thirty years in power. In conclusion he said: "The American people have already risen with a might and majesty nevec before equaled. In the elections of last year they rolled up the colossal majority of a million and a quarter in protest and condemnation. They broke the solid South. They redeemed the House and well-nigh rescued the Senate. They gave the author of the Wilson bill plenty of leisure to go back to the . BeJ.shazzer feast of the London Chamber of Commerce or to seek the refuge of the Cabinet. They lopped off Springer and Holman and Bynum and Bland, and every Democratic head appeared above the surface. You in New York stormed and carried the bastile of Tammany Hall. You and your countrymen gave the most imposing demonstration of American reason and conscience which we have ever witnessed, and it remains for you and them to repeat end emphasize that moral and patriotic uprising in such a way as to inspire fresh confidence In the integrity and perpetuity of American institutions." AX AXTI-HAKRISOXITE. Senator Thurston Vents Ilia Feelings in n Sou Francisco Interview. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15. "The location of the next Republican national convention lies between three cities, San Francisco, Pittsburg and Chicago," said national committeeman John M. Thurston, of Nebraska. Mr. Thurston is at present on the coast in the interest of the Union Pacific road relative to the-receivership on two appeals from orders made from the State of Orecon. Mr. Thurston was Inclined to be communicative on matters pertaining to politics and stated that Joseph Manley, the national committeeman from Maine, had expressed the wish to him that San Francisco might be the next convention place of the Republican party and that many of the other members cf the Eastern States had expressed the same desire. As for myseff," continued the Senator, "I have not made up my mind. It !s sure to go to either Chicago, Pittsburg or San Francisco and any one of the . three places named will suit me." "What do I think of the probable nominee of the party? Well, my State is rather inclined toward McKinley, but 1 hear Allison or Reed, of Maine, frequently referred to as available and safe for the party. Harrison, did you say? Never. He is entirely out of the question. I believe there was an attempt to work him into the fight, but it has been giver up. Don't you recall that old line: 'Thou dost protest too much.' That applies to Harrison. He will never do." "Will the Republicans give the West a free coinage plank?" "Yes, I think sd; one similar to the plank of the last campaign, but I don't think the Republicans cr Democrats either will ever declare for the free and unlimited coinage of silver without regard to any other country. I think the money question will have to be settled in such a way that there will never be any great disturbance in money value." The Shorter Campaign Movement. CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.

CONGRESS OF AMERICANISTS. Joaqnln Barranda Made President The Gnadalonp Coronation.. CI IT OF MEXICO.

President Diaz has directed that all ossibIe courtesies be extended to visiting scientists. The banquet was & brilliant affair and speeches were made in several languages, as the assembly Is a polyglot one. Editor Mata, In the Home Journal, alleges the coronation of the virgin was entirely a political movement and engineered by an astute clergy as a monarchical and reactionary demonstration. The humble classes of society were expelled during the coronation ceremonies, while the aristocracy class, always allies of a monarchy, were treated with every consideration. Much comment is . excited In re llglous circles over these attacks. The charge is sustained also by Catholic editor Terrazas, who says the poor class and the Indians were practically excluded from the church at Guadaloupe so as to give room to rich people. Terrazas himself admits that the virgin of Guadeloupe is a political symbol: or, as he expressed It. an anti-Yankee flag, but Terrazas is snubbed by the higher clergy, and Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, expresses the hope that the virgin of Gualaloupe will become the patroness of the entire American continent. A great anti-Guadeloupe manifestation occured at Vera Cruz, where two thousand people bearing banners and firing rockets paraded the streets and halting at the Launden cigar factory- listened to anticlerical speeches. Reform laws were cheered -and shouts of "death to priests" were frequently made and many arrests were made by the police.
