CURRENCY IN CAUCUS
House Democrats Discussing
the Measure.
NO VOTE UNTIL LATE THIS WEEK
Ransom Elected President Pro Tern, of
tlie Senate Serious Charges Hit
Been Filed Against Jade Kicks.
Washington, Jan. 7. It has been
found necessary to change the general
plan of action on the Carlisle currency
bill in consequence of the death of Re
presentative Post. The house demo
cratic caucus assembles at 2 p. m. in
stead of 3 as announced previously.
The caucus is expected to take into con
sideration the unexpected interruption
and give tomorrow to general debate.
This will postpone the final vote until
late in the week. Springer calculates
that it will be taken Saturday. The
programme for the caucus is pretty well
outlined. Springer will submit a reso
lution reciting in substance that it is the
judgment of the democratic caucus that
the Carlisle curreney bill should pass.
It will also direct the committee on rules
to prepare a rule arranging future debate
and fixing the time for the final vote.
The Springer resolution is likely to be
the main issue, as it embodies the views
of those supporting the bill. Springer
conferred with Secretary Carlisle this
morning, and it is understood outlined
a plan of procedure. Springer and
others connected with the management
of the bill discredited the report that an
n entirely new currency bill is to be framed
withthe administration's approval.
Washington, Jan. 7. The house
democratic caucus on the Carlisle cur
rency bill assembled at 2 o'clock today
W witn 102 memDers present, inciuaing ail
vhe leaders. Assurances were given that
l the caucus was advisory and not binding
A resolution prepared by Springer was
offered by Speaker Crisp, declaring the
currency bill should be passed substan
tially as it is, and requesting the com
mittee on rules to bring it to a vote.
Speaker Crisp said the caucus was to
test whether the currency bill should
pass. Information on this subject was
necessary, the situation being grave and
important. Representative Bland op
posed the resolution. "We have now
reached a point," he said, "when for the
first time the democratic party is asked
to become the advocate of state banks,
Springer urged unanimity of action
for the sake of the party and the country,
Cockran thought the question was an
economic one, not political, and could
not be settled in party caucus.
- In tbe Senate. . '
. Washington, Jan. 7. In the absence
from the city of the vice-piesident and
the president pro tern. Hansom was
chosen president pro tern, today. The
oath of office was administered by the

lieved from the position. The presiding
officer then called Manderson to the
chair and a resolution was adopted au
thorizing the secretary of the senate to

Heavy Rain In West Virginia.
Pabkebsbdbg, W. Va., Jan. 7. Bain
has fallen here steadily for 46 hours
and the river is rapidly rising. At
Grantsviile, up the Kanawha river, the
water is 23 feet, and rising. Timbermen
predict immense damage. The steamer
Oneida, a river packet, was sunk here at
midnight. Tbe ice knocked a bole in
her, and she will be a total loss.
Exposure to rough weather, dampness, I
extreme cold, etc., is apt to bring on an
attack of rheumatism or neuralgia;
chapped hands and ' face, cracked lips
and violent itching of .tb skin also owe
their origin to cold weather. Dr. Mc
Lean's Volcanic Oil Liniment should be
kept on hand at all times for immediate
application when troubles of this nature
appear. It is a sovereign remedy. 25c,
