THE CARLISLE PLAN, A* Modified by the Banking and Correney Committee, Presented by Chairman Springer—Points of Difference Hetwreu the Measure aa Formulated by Secretary Carlisle and the Amendments Proposed by the Committee. Washington, Dec. 32.—Mr. Springer, of Illinois, at a late hour yesterday afternoon, laid before the house a substitute for the pending currency bill. It consists of the amendments which have been agreed upon by the democratic members of the committee; others that were suggested by Secretary Carlisle, the author of the a bill that has been under consideration all the week, as well as certain features of the Carlisle bill which it has been deemed advisable to retain. After laying the substitute before the house, Mr Springer briefly explained the important changes made in the Carlisle bill and their effect as follows: First—Permitting the deposit of currency certificates issued under section 5193 of the revised statutes, to secure circulation aa well as the deposits of legal tender notes and treasury notes. These certificates represent legal tender notes actually held in the treasury, and the effect of depositing certificates is, therefore, the same precisely as to require the deposit of notes. Second—So amending the present law as to permit state banks to deposit legal tender notes and procure these currency certificates in the same manner that national banks are now permitted to do so. Third—Dispensing with the provisions which authorize an assessment upon the national banks to replenish the safety fund tor the redemption of the notes of failed banks, and, in place of this provision, inserting one providing that the collection of the onefourth of a cent tax for each-half year shall be resumed when the safety fund is impaired, and continued until the safety fund is restored. Fourth—Authorizing the comptroller of the currency instead of the banks themselves, to designate the agencies at which national bank notes shall be redeemed. The effect of this will be to secure the redemption not only at -the office of the bank, but at other places accessible to noteholders. Fifth—Dispense with the provisions compelling existing national banks to withdraw their bonds now on deposit and take out circulation under the new system, and in lieu of that provision insert one permitting the banks to withdraw their bonds, Tf they see proper to do so, by depositing lawful money as now provided by law, and then to take out circulation under the new system if they choose to do so. Sixth—Providing that the notes of failed national banks, which are not redeemed on demand at the office of the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of the United States, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum from the date of the suspension of the bank until thirty days after public notice has been given that funds are on hand for their redemption. This imposes no obligation upon the part of the United States to use its own funds for the redemptions, the safety fund is in the hands of the treasurer, and he will redeem notes out of that fund. It is not neeessary to repeat the repealing clause in section 7 as reconstructed, because section 1, as proposed to be amended, repeals all bond requirements as to banks taking out circulation under the proposed bill; nor is it necessary in section 7 to set out how the notes of existing banks shall be redeemed, when lawful money has been deposited, because the present law provides for all that. In regard to the provision making the notes of failed banks bear interest, it is absolutely necessary to require their presentation at some place before they begin to bear interest, otherwise it is impossible to frame a clause which would not make all of these notes bear interest from the date of suspension, even though there might be funds on hand to pay them. There are ten subtreasuries in the United States, and there will be no difficulty in presenting the notes if the holder of them has any doubt about their immediate redemption, and thus make them bear interest.

CROOKED APPOINTMENTS On the New York Police Force Referred to the Civil Service Supervisory Board for Their Action. New York, Dec. 22.—At the meeting of the police board yesterday afternoon President Martin offered the following resolution, which was at once adopted: 0 Resolved, That the testimony taken by the board of police as to the legality of the appointments of John Dowling. Edgar F. Douglass, Dennis Keating, John Flatley, John R. Krushinski, Herman F. Ludwig, Richard Burnk, Adolphus W Rehange, Solomon Cohen and Joseph Devlin, as members 6f the police force of the city of N'ew York, be referred to the civil service supervisory board for its information, and for such action as may be necessary. These are the policemen who, it is claimed, obtained their appointments on the force through fraudulent civilservice examinations. The action of the board in referring the testimony taken before it at the investigation to the civil-service board would indicate that the commissioners are in doubt as to their power to dismiss the accused men from the force. The po. ice commissioners decided to begin tne trials of all accused members of the department immediately after the beginning of the new year. THE INFERENCE OF GUILT Is Strongly Against, But His (Jrsy Hairs May Save lllw.
