dlate consideration by the House and passage after reasonable debate Is recommended ajid urged." In pursuance of this resolution Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana, who Introduced and who Is in general charge of it, to-morrow will submit a resolution asking that a special rule be reported for Immediate consideration of the measure. The terms of this special rule are practically agreed upon, and provide that the debate will begin next Monday, with a final vote at the close of the week. The unanimous approval to the bill came after two hours of discussion and the adoption of two amendments approved by the framers of the bill. When the meeting began Mr. Cannon surrendered the chair to Mr. Hepburn in order to present his views of some modifications he thought desirable. These related to the national banking features of the bill, and Mr. Cannon gave It as his individual opinion that this branch of the subject might better be modified or emitted. He distinctly stated, however, that he supported the bill as a whole and would vote for It, and this was further shown when he voted for the resolution of approval. Mr. Cannon's suggestions did not take the form of amendments and were sot pressed. The main amendment was proposed by the framers of the bill to clear up some ambiguity on the present law. It Is to be a Dew section, numbered 9, and is as follows: 'Section 9. That Section 10 of an act approved July 12, entitled 'An act to enable national banking associations to extend their corporate existence, be and the tame is amended so as to read as follows: 'Section 10. That upon a deposit of b " -s as described In Sections 5133 and 5160 of the Revised Statutes, the association making the same shall be entitled to receive from the controller of the currency circulating notes of different denominations In blank, registered and countersigned as provided by law, not exceeding the par value of the United States bonds so transferr.tl and delivered, and at no time shall the total amount of such notes issued to any such association exceed the amount at such time paid in of its capital stock, and the provisions of Sections 5171 and 5176 of the Revised Statutes are hereby repealed.' " Another amendment is to Section 4 of the bill, inserting the word "redemption" before 'fund," to make more plain where redeemed notes and certificates are to be held. . Mr. Warner, of Illinois, offered an amendment relating to that feature known as the impounding of the greenbacks, but he was patisfted from explanation given him that the amendment was not essential and it" was withdrawn. There were some other suggestions and tentative amendments, but none of them was pressed and the resolution of approval was then unanimously adopted. Mr. Overstreet and hl3 associates who framed the bill were warmly congratulated on having been able to command such complete unanimity and approval, which is reKarded as Riviii? assurance that the bill will be passed before the Christmas recess. Vlewi of HiikIi II. Ilnnnn. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Mr. H. H. Hanra, chairman of the Indianapolis Monetary Commission, speaking to-day of the financial bills before Congress, said: 'The bills prepared by the Republicans of the Senate finance committee and by the caucus committee of the Republicans of the Househave so much that is courageously comprehensive of the needs for eliminating all doubt as to gold being the standard and unit of value of our monetary system that It Is wise to encourage the passage of these bills by the respective houses, and reserve all suggestions for additions or changes until the conferees of the two houses take up the subject. The bills are splendid expressions of the purpose to fu.dll the pledge for gold-standard legislation, and should greatly encourage the people to believe that all proper revision of our monetary laws is possible of accomplishment. Both bills contain provisions for gold reserves and their maintenance. The gold reserve provided by the Senators is ample for maintaining the interchangeabllity of sdl government moneys, and the changes in denominations of paper currency are safe and Important aids to Its feasible and easy accomplishment. If such full Interchangeability can be Included, It would perfect the ' establishment of the gold standard beyond risk of change, except by the deliberate action of the law-making government."

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

Agreements with France and Britain Sent to the Sennte. WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The reciprocity treaties negotiated during the congressional recess were transmitted to the Senate today and in the executive session were ordered printed and referred to the committee on foreign relations. The most important of these treaties Is that between the United States and France for reciprocal reductions cf tariff rates. The terms of this and the other treaties are not yet officially made public, either by the State Department or the Senate. The reductions allowed the United States are. however, un'derstood to comprise all the articles of the French minimum tariff list, with the following exceptions: Horses, stallions, mares and colts, eggs, cheese, butter honey, clover seed and luzerne, sugar, chicory, feed, type, porcelain, cardboard, tanned hides, leather soles, boot and shoe uppers, boots, shoes, belting, dynamo electric machines, machinery tools, parts of dynamos and electric machines. The reciprocity treaties negotiated with Great Britain are four in number, for Jamaica. Guina, Barbadoes and Bermuda, the Trinidad treaty having been witndrawn. In the main the concessions to the colonies are on food products, while reductions on manufactured goods, flour, etc., are understood to be the chief advantages given to the United States. Want a Revenue Department. CHICAGO, Dec. 6. The Tribune to-morrow will say: "The Internal revenue collectors of the United States are organizing a movement to have a new department of the government established and a new Cabinet position created. A meeting will be held in January to form an association with this end in view. Collector Coyne, of Chicago, says the Internal revenue branch of the federal service ought to be taken out of the Treasury Department and made a department by itself. One of the chief reasons given is that under the present system the bureau gets no credit for what It does." GREAT STRIKE AVERTED. Chicago Dnlldlnir Trades Trouble to Be Arbitrated. CHICAGO, Dec. 6. The great labor war threatening so long between the Chicago building contractors and trade-unions has been averted through an agreement for a permanent arbitration board, whose personnel Is to be thoroughly representative of the trades-unions and the other Interests concerned. Through the terms agreed upon no sympathetic strike Is to be declared until the new board has had an opportunity to investigate and decree what are to be the terms of settlement.

HE DREW TWO PENSIONS

LATE RESIDEXT OP GItEEXSBURG WHO DEFUALDED UXCLE SAM. Another Advance In Crade Oil State lector on the Gas Situation Death of Charles Fletcher. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREEXSBURG. Ind., Dec 6. Pension Examiner Lowe, of Columbus, was here yesterday looking after the pension claim of John W. Smith, which possesses some peculiarities. Smith served In the Third .Kentucky during the war with Mexico and was granted a survivors' pension on account of that service, his postoffice address being given as Owenton, Ky., and his name was Inscribed on the Louisville agency. He also applied for a pension on account of disabilities contracted serving In Company A, Sixteenth Indiana, and Company D, One-hundred-and-forty-elghth Indiana. In the latter regiment he served as lieutenant. His residence was given at Shelbyvllle, Ind. Under the act of June, 1SD0, he applied for and was granted a pension of $10 per month, his residence being given as Snelbyvllle and his name was inscribed on the rolls of the Indianapolis agency. Subsequently he had the payment of his Mexican pension transferred to the Indianapolis agency and drew both pensions from the same agency. He had formerly lived in Decatur county and came here every quarter to execute his Mexican pension voucher, representing to the notary that his postoiflce was Hope, and that he lived with a son near there. On the same day he would execute his voucher for invalid pension at Shelbyvllle, both vouchers being forwarded to Indianapolis by the notaries and the two checks sent from the agency to the Shelbyvllle and Hope poatotlices, where Smith would receive them, contrary to the law, which allows a claimant but one pension, regardless of the number of wars In which he has served. . Smith died May 3" last at Shelbyvllle, after both checks had been mailed, but before their delivery. The one sent to Hope was returned as not called for, while the invalid check was returned by the widow for payment in her name. Tnis aroused the suspicion of the agency at Indianapolis and inquiry was made by the department at Indianapolis of the notary here if he was acquainted with a John XV. Smith, of Hope, and a John W. Smith, of Shelbyvllle. The case was referred to the special examiner, who after taking evidence at Shelbyvllle, Hope and Greensburg, came to this city yesterday afternoon and took the notary to Shelbyvllle to identify some photographs hanging in the Smith resiuence on McKenzle street, which he did without diiliculty. This identification of her husband as the Hope Smith greatly shocked the widow, who Is Smith's third wife, an Is sixtyeight years old. She begged the examiner not to prosecute her, as sne had no knowledge of her husband's wrongdoing. The amount Smith received to which he was not entitled is about $1,000. MURDER TRIAL AT FRANKFORT.

OiJ Operations Not Checked by Advent -of Cold Weather. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPEL1ER. Ind.. Dec. 6.-The cold snap has not done much damage as yet to stop operations in the Indiana field. The operators are still actively looking for the precious fluid, and leasers are very active in all portions of the State. The coming year Is destined to be the greatest in the history of crude oil. The greatest drawback at the present time is the stringent gas laws of the gas belt. Many are awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court In the case of the State of Indiana vs. The Ohio Oil Company. Upon this depends the future of the great oleaginous wealth of this great State. At the present time there are fifty-four wells containing oil and gas that are closed, and all are located In the gas area, where the owners are not allowed to produce them on account of not being able to save the gas from waste. Of

this large number of wells there is not one but that would be among the best paying oil producers in the State. Should the oil trade be allowed to drill In any part of the gas territory that ft, wished the life of the gas fields would be o? short duration. Oil certainly brings a better Income to the State than does the gas; still, the gas can be utilized for some years to come, and when it has become exhausted then there is plenty of time to get the oil from mother earth. Following are the conditions of the Indiana and Ohio pipe lines for the crude product for November: Total shipments 1.729.4C2 Daily average shipments 57,643 Total runs from wells 1.43M75 Daily average runs 47.C82 Shipments over runs 2SS.987 The conditions for the Eastern fields for the same period are as follows: Total Eastern shipments 2,461,434 Daily average shipments... 82.047 Total Eastern runs 2,637,fC0 Dally average runs 87.932 Runs over shipments 176,516 Rise In the Price of Crnde. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER. Ind., Dec. 6. The Standard Oil Company to-day raised the price of crude oil, Indiana going up 2 cents and Eastern oil 3 cents. Following are the market prices as quoted by the Seip purchasing agency: Tiona, $1.79; Pennsylvania. 51.64; Scio, O., $1.64; Rarnesville, 51.54; Corning. $1.47; New Castle. $1.29; north Lima. $1.16; south Lima, $1.11; indiana, $1.1L Altogether, since the upward movement began, four months ago, oil has risen over 40 cents a barrel. Production is said to be barrels a day below the shipment. The deficiency is being made up from the reserve stocks which the Standard carries, principally in Indiana, while an activity uivequaled in the industry in the direction of searching for new territory prevails throughout the country. Refined oil. which is burned in the hou of the people, has gone up from 2 to cents, and at to-day's quotations was at the highest point in years. PLENTY OF GAS.

This Is the State Inspector's Opinion of the Fuel Situation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 6. The insufficiency of the natural gas supply reported from several Indiana towns during the cold snap this week does not apply to Kokomo, and, as a rule, reflects unjustly on the reputation of towns situated within the limits of the natural gas be4. of the State. When winter rates went into effect, Oct. 1, State Gas Inspector Leach, of this city, issued a statement that all towns within the gas area were assured of plenty of fuel this winter; that If there were local failures it would be beoause of Improper distribution; that gas was here and if the people did not got it. it would be the fault of the supplying companies, and not of the field. Professor Leach looked for a shortage in towns outside the field at the end of long pipe lines, and it is these outside places that are now worrying about the failure of gas. and conveying the impression abroad that the Indiana field is aoout to collapse. The real winter that struck this vicinity this week demonstrated that gas was still here In great abundance. Supervisor Leach says it is showing up strong In all the Inside towns, and there is no excuse for any shortage. In a few small towns, he says, the companies have neglected to keep their plants In good condition by drilling necessary additional wells. The strength of the flelu is well demonstrated in this city. A house to house inspection made by a local company revealed that hundreds of houses 01 four to six rooms are heated by a single cook stove and that one cook stove and one heater frequently heats houses of eight to ten rooms. In.s ls true in Kokomo and the same conditions should exist in all first-class plants in the gas belt proper. All the factories here have plenty of gas. Nerr nate Mnde by Council. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION. Ind., Dec. 6. At the meeting of the City Council last ? night the committee appointed at a recent meeting to Investigate the new rates charged by the local gas companies and further to ascertain if the Council had authority to regulate such rates reported that such privilege was given that body, and a general reduction of from 13 to 40 per cent, was made. The gas companies will not accept the schedule as submitted by the Council, but will take the question into the courts for settlement. The Only Tod Com 1 11 k Home. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 6. Tod Sloan, the "premier" American Jockey,, who now rides only for lords, dukes and princes in Queen Victoria's capital, has written a letter to his foster parents, Daniel and Mrs. Blouscr, of this city, saying he will sail for America in a few days and observe his usual custom of eating Christmas turkey at the old home, roasted as only "Aunt Lib" can roast it. Tod s homecoming is always a big event in Kokomo and adjacent towns, where his elaborate wardrobe makes the local 'Mudes" look "like 30 cents." Last Christmas od astonished the natives by chartering a special train to carry his friends to a charity ball at Logansport. His trips home mean good times for tradesmen. He spends large sums of money for Christmas presents. llaildln.fi: and Loan Decision. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Dec. 6. Special Judge Cook, of Corydon. occupying the bench of the Floyd Circuit Court, has rendered a decision which affects holders of paid-up stock In building and loan associations. In the suit of Joseph Cheatham against the defunct Acton Building and Loan Association on a claim of $300 for money borrowed by the association the court held that the association had no right under the law to borrow money and that any obligation for such transaction was null and void. The decision has occasioned much comment, as nearly all of the associations in which local people are interested have outstanding bonds on which money had been borrowed. Cartridge Exploded by a Wagon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR. Ind., Dec. 6. As a farmer was driving rapidly down the brick pavement on Second street last evening, in front of Smith's meat market the wheel of the wagon struck a 3S-callber cartridge, exploding it. The bullet passed through the plate-glass front of the meat market and struck Sim Haines, a clerk, a glancing blow on the head, knocking him down. The ball glanced from a steel frame and fell at his feet. He was not seriously hurt, though he has a long cut on his scalp. The sidewalk in front of the market was thronged with people at the time, but none of them was struck. Hepuhllrnn Attorney Removed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE.

YOUTHFUL DEGENERATE EDWARD nUHNZ CONFESSES TO KILLING A POST3I ASTER. Doth n "Illcyele Fiend" and a "Cigarette Fiend' and Was Arrested with a Tenderloin Girl. NEW YORK, Dec 6. Edward Bumz, nineteen years old, is lodged at police headquarters in this city for the munier of Herbert B. Fellows, station agent and postmaster at Scarsdale, N. Y., on Monday last. Captain McClusky, chief of the detective bureau, has announced that Burnz has confessed to him that he had murdered Fellows by shooting him, and that he had also robbed him. Burnz was arrested shortly after 2 o'clock this morning in Madison-square Garden, while he was looking at the bicycle race with a young woman named Ella Smith, whom he had met an hour previously in a Tenderloin cafe. Burnz made no effort to conceal his identity and did not appear to be disconcerted at the arrest. Sheriff William V.

The woman who is addicted to the terrible morphine habit knows that she is rapidly goinff down the steep hill that leads to death. Thre are thousands of other women rushing down the same incline, but they do not know it. They find themselves suffering from nervousness, headache, despondency, irritabil ity, and a dozen other svmntoms of female EST troubles. For relief they turn to the amy alcoholic stimulants, malt extracts ana other "compounds," so widely advertised to cure the ailments of women. These produce a false stimulation, and the sufferer finds herself compelled to take con and more as time passes, and soon becomes an mn witting slave to strong drink. What a weakly woman needs is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which contains not m gTain of opium or a single drop of alcohol or other dangerous stimulant. It acts directly upon the womanly organs, stopEinjr drains, restoring displacements and avinjj a wonderfully beneficial effect opoa the general health. Suffering women who wish to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce himself can do so by mail, addressing hya at CcCalo, N. Y. He makes no charge whaterer for advice. ' Mrs. Rena Hen!, of Masillon. Stark Col, Ohio, write: I had been troubled with chronis constipation and female weaknei and doctored with different physician, none of whom seemed f to help nie. I nawcneof your advertiasmetita. ' oi:d I thought I would try your medicines. I did so and witiLjpood result. Took two bottles of lr. Pierce' Golden Medical Discovery sod on of his 'Favorite Prescription and I can ty I am cured ef my troubles, thank to Dr. riercs and hi medicines. They do s world of good t those who give them a good trial."
