rency Continues Its Hearing
Letters Read.

mit the argent deficiency bill with in
structions to strike oat the appropriation
for income tax was defeated ; ayes 49,
noes 68.
In the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Bate,
chairman of the board of visitors to West
Point military academy, presented a re
port to the senate today, taking a stiong
stand in favor of the change of the law
which will increase the number of cadets
' to 469, or one for each senator and rep
resentative and 20 for the president, in
stead of the present number, which is
about 250.
Blackburn moved in the senate this
afternoon that when the senate should
adjourn today it be to Monday. Friends
of the Nicaraguan canal bill rallied, and
- the motion was beaten, 23 to 22.
Still Talking; Currency.
Washington, Dec. 13. The house
banking and currency committee con
tinued its hearing today. Letters were
read from W. M. Dana, editor of the
Commercial and financial Chronicle, and
R. B. Ferris, vice-president of the bank
of New York. Ferris said:
"There seems -to be no good reason
why the existing National banks who
have United States bonds on deposit
with the controller should not be allowed
to continue as they are nntil their char
ters expire or the deposited bonds are
paid off. Secretary Carlisle's bill seems
like forcing the banks to do what they
have not been consulted about." '
Ferris advocated the establishment of
central redemption agencies which
would, he thought, enhance the elasticity
of circulation based on the deposit of
bonds. Referring to section 10 of the
Carlisle bill, providing for the issue of
. notes by state banks without the provis
ion of a sinking fund, Ferris said : "It
makes the bill simply an inflation meas
ure modified by a deposit of 50 per cent
in legal tender notes and a provision to
cancel United States notes to the extent
of 70 per cent of the new circulation
issue when the treasury has the means
to do it." The letter concluded :
"As a bill to substitute National bank
notes for a new issue it will be a failure,
as it presents no inducements to the
solid banks to become insurers,' of
the circulation of mushroom institutions
and to stimulate to organized banks not
subject to United States inspection is
questionable."
William C. Cornwall, president of the
New York Banking Association, read a
carefully prepared paper advocating sub
stantially the Baltimore plan. Replying
to questions by Warner,' Cornwall eaid
he thought the greenbacks and treasury
notes outstanding should be redeemed,
but he would perform this redemption
with a low rate of bonds. He also said
he did not consider that part of Secretary
Carlisle's plan relating to the retirement
of treasury notes sufficiently definite.
Cornwall said that a return to state bank
notes would bring about a return .to

w Newfoundland' Financial Crisis.
Lonpon, Dec. 13. An official of the
Colonial office stated today that the late
government of Newfoundland, had asked
the home government for assistance to
weather the 'financial storm. Nothing
had . been done 'in the matter, he said.

colony, he said, was unprecedented.
The goyernment would be unable to
take action in the matter without the
authority of parliament. One of the
managers of the Union bank of London
said today that' the Union bank of New
foundland had always stood well with
them. He expressed amazement that
the bank should have allowed itself to
be short of specie.
Indian Soldiers a Failure.
Washington. Dec. 13. The secretary
of war is making rapid progress in his
policy of weeding out the Indian sol
diers of the army who were enlisted un
der the last administration as an ex
periment in civilization. A sufficient
number of red men constitute two regi
ments, one of cavalry and .one of in
fantry, have had military service under'
this experiment, which, in the
opinion of army officers, has proved a
woeful failure. It is explained by army
officers that whisky has not so much to
do with the failure to make good soldiers
out of the Indians as the fact that their
polygamous customs render it impossible
for them to remain at posts where they
are denied all domestic relations.
The California Contest.' . - '
San Fkencisco, Dec. 13. The hall of

election contest came 'on for hearing.

peared on behalf of the petitioner, Chair
man Cornwall, of the republican state
central committee. Counsel for Corn
wall, or Eatee, attempted to secure a de
lay of proceedings, bat were unsuccess
ful. Attorney Patterson, on behalf of
the defendants, then opened the argu
ment. '

MdVTEVEDio, Dec. 13.-1 The rebels
how number over 9000, they have left
the mountains, being tired of waiting

Latest U. S. Gov't Report
J Rebellion 'In Peru.
New'Yobk, Dec., '14. Advices from
Pern, via Colonna, per steamer Alliance,
are to the effect ' that General -Pierola,
who is in arms againet the Peruvian
government, is gaining accessions. The
general sentiment of the people appears
to be in his favor. He . has control of
several principal ports, and is very
strong in the interior of the country.
He has a well-equipped army, and is
close to Lima, the capital. The Pacific
Steam Navigation Company steamer
Puno was, on her arrival, Nov. 10, sub
jected to. a rigid examination by the
government troops to discover if she was
catrying arms or ammunition. A com
pany of soldiers remained on the boat
until it arrived at Callao, the port of
Lima, to prevent communication with
the adherents of General Pierola, and
to inspect all cargo landed. The same
company's steamer Serena had a lively
experience at Cerro Azul, the first port
of call south of Callao. The vessel had
on board a detachment of government
troops in charge of prisoners. As it
entered port it set the usual signals for
lighters, it not being known Pierola's
forces had captured the town. A lighter
apparently loaded with sugar went along
side the Serena. Those on the steamer
were greatly surprised when the lighter
was found filled with armed revolution
ists, who after a short ftruggle, captured
the government troops and released the
prisoners. Daring the struggle the
captain of the Serena attempted to take
his vessel ont of the harbor, but a rifle
presented at his head caused' him to
change his mind. When these advices
were dispatched, Pierola's forces had
control of the Oroya railroad, and traffic
to Ancuo was suspended. The only
railway in the country remaining in op
eration was a short line between Lima
and Callao. November 22 . the govern
ment fitted out an armored train with a
gattling gun battery, to carry 2,000 sol
diers along the Oroya railroad, to drive
off tba revolutionists along the line. As
the train approached the camp of the
revolutionists, 1,500 government troops
deserted with their arms and ammunit
ion and joined the rebels. The re
mainder of the government forces re
turned to Lima. The condition of the
government troops is deplorable, owing
to the high prices and scarcity of provis
ions. The people able to . do so have
provided themselves with sufficient food
in anticipation of a 30 day's siege. In
Callao the marines on one of the govern
ment hulks mutined. To prevent the
insubordination spreading, all hands
were placed under arrest on a hulk an
chored between two government ships
and all the shipping in the harbor was
notified to withdraw from the line of
fire. The mail steamers of the Chilian
& Pacific Steam Navigation Company
are subjected to search and inspection
by each party, and are doing practically
no busiuess. '

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure n all its stages and hat is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Care is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
sy stem, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature to do its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its cultivati ve powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
