Washington. Dec. 17. Secretary
Gage resumed his exposition of his ex
tensive currency bill before the house
committee on banking and currency
today. Chairman Walker had left the
city and Brossius, of .Pennsylvania,
presided.
Before the bill proper was taken up
some semi-political questions were
asked. Hill, republican, of Connect
icut called Gase's attention to the
statement made yesterday that the first
purpose of the bill was to commit the
country to the gold standard.
"You are a recognized republican,"'
said Dill, addressing the secretary.
"Do you consider that this purpose of
more firmly fixing the gold standard
on the country conflicts with the fin
ancial plank of the St. Louis plat
forn?" "No, a'r,'' responded Gage, "not as I
look at the question of bitnetalisra.
Bitnetalism must mean one of two
things. Either It is two kinds of
money of unequal value circulating
side tiy side by exchange of less value
for that of greater value, or else two
kinds of money of such intrinsic equ-.il-;ty
of value that they will circulate I
Hturaliy side by side. We have a bi
netillic currency in the United States
ow. Tbe firm establishment of the
old standard, with suck interchange
ability as will make it iutercbaage-
ibleon equality with gold, will main-
rain this bimetalism the same as it has
listed forthe last 18 years."
The secretary of the treasury went
on to state that this in no way pre
judiced the steps that might be taken
to bring silver up to a higher stand
ard of value. Tho bill, however, was
dasigned to give such confidence in
the financial ability of the government
that discriminations against sil
ver would largely decrease.
Cox, democrat, of Tennessee asked
if the result of the Gage bill even
tually would not lead to one kind of
paper money, bank notes, and no sil
ver except subsidiary silver. .
There is nothing iu this plan to co
operate to that extent now," answered
Gage- "It is in that direction, and
with further legislation developing it
might ultimately lead to such a result."

THEIR VIEWS EMBODIED.
Populist Member of the House In Caucus
Adopt Resolutions.
Washington, Dec. 17. A caucus of
the populist members of the house was
held at tbe National hotel last night.
rhe fallowing resolutions were unani
mously adopted, except that referring
to civil service:
That it is the sense of this caucus
that we will resist all efforts to so
modify the existing civil service law
as to enable any party that may be in
power to fill the different positions in
the civil service with partisans.
"That we are opposed to and will
resist all efforts to destroy our green
backs and the treasury notes, whether
it be by direct legislation or by the
subterfuge of refusing to reissue the
same except in exchange for gold.
"That we are opposed to any scheme
of enlarging the powers of national
banks.
"That we appose the conferring of
the power to issue notes designed to
have the same functions as money to
tny bank, corporation, or individual.
" That we favor the early considera
tion and pasrage of a joint resolution
eco?nizinsr the Independence cf tbe
Cuban republic.
"That we are in favor of th early
passage of an equal but voluntary
bankruDtcy bill."
Mrs. Stark, Pleatant Ridge, O., says:

die, I saved him from croup by using
One Minute Cough Cure." It is the

tions that there would be a day full of
surprises on the board of trade, tbe bull
clique, headed by Joseph Kelter, bad
smooth Bailing apparently, and seemed
to have proved itself capable of doing
what it promised. It took the 1,000,
000 or more bushels of wheat delivered
to it yesterday, and today the deliver
ies amounted tn 1,250 000 bushels more.
But the price held firm. The promis
ed storm today whs predicted when
Armour began unloading some of Sis
enormous holdings yesterday. It was
feared there would be a tremendous
rush today to dump all the wheat tn
Chicago into the lap of this syndicate,
but this nroves the prophecy was
wrong. The Journal says:
"With tbe 1,250.000 bnshels deliver
ed today, tke Loiter crowd has 2,000,-
000 bushels in their possession, ac
quired this week. How much more
the syndicate has beugbt 'lonr' is not
known, but it may be as much as 8,
000,000 or 9,000,000 bushels. The
amount, however, is probably only 5.
000.000 or 6,000,000 at the outside. As
December dawns to a close it grows
more and more probable that the
Leitrr clique meaat what it said when
it announced that it wanted the wheat.
and was not in the market for the pur
pose of 'cornering' the cereal. It is
said at least $6,000,000 was on deposit
in various banks ef tbis city tp the
credit of the clique, for the purpose of
paying for tbe wheat to be delivered to
them."
As an echo of yesterday's enormous
train deliveries, Armour & Co. have

ity of a failure on the part of Armour

of an "insurance corner" as an ad
junct to the December wheat deal.

Washington, Dec. 18. Both houses
of congress today passed the joint res
olution for the relief of miners in tke
Yukon valley, Alaska, and in a short
time it had received the signature of
the president.
The bill appropriates $200,000, to be
expended under direction of tbe secre
tary of war in the purchase of supplies
for the relief of tbe people in the
Yukon country or other mining re
gions of Alaska, and for the transpor
tation and distribution of such sup
plies, provided that, if the consent of
the Canadian government be obtained,
the secretary of war may extend the
relief into Canadian territory. The
resolution further provides that the
supplies may be sold in that region at
such prices as msy be fixed by the sec
retary of war, or donated to those un
able to pay for them. The secretary
of war is authorized to use the United
States army in carrying into effect the
provisions of tbe act, to import rein
deer and drivers for the transporta
tion of supplies, and to adopt such
other provisions as are practicable.
The secretary is directed, when the
work shall have been completed, to
ell the reindeer or turn them over to
the secretary of tho Interior, in his dis
cretion, and to make a detailed report
to congress at the beginming of the
next session of such disbursements
made and results accomplished under
the act.

Chicago, Dec. 17. George
French, the recognized agent of she
Leiter interest in wheat, has imparted
a bit of information which wheat spec
ulators for many months have been
anxious to know. Be also ventured a
prediction of May wheat.
"Our wheat costs us nearly 70 cents,"
said Mr. French, and at that price
we think we can afford to take it in,
pay for it, and see what it looks like.
Our position as we have said right
along, is simply that of merchandisers.
As soon as the sufficiency of the supply
and the urgency of the demand be
comes more apparent, I will not be a
bit surprised to see May wheat at
$1.50."

Work of Congress.
Washington, Dec. 17. The senate
today took the necessary proceedure
to put the bill for the relief of Klon
dike miners into conference and nam
ed Hawley, Carter and Cockrell as
conferees. It then discussed at some
length the government's revenue, the
basis of discussion being the report
that the time was inopportune to pass
a bill to free from taxation alcohol
used in the arts. One hundred and
thirty-eight private pension bills were
passed.
The house today resumed considera
tion of the legislative appropriation
bill. 1 he Klondike relief bill was
sen', to conference and Cannon, North

as conferees.

Chicago. Dec. 20. Interest in the
big December wheat deal was greatly
increased today by the arrival from
Washington of Levi Z Leiter, the
millionaire merchant of Chicago, and
the substantial admission by him that
his millions were at his son's com'
mand ia his .struggles with the other
interests. .
"My son has plenty of money to pay
for what he has purchased," said Lei
ter, sr. "About his whiat operations
he has informed me fully. I have
been a merchant the greater part of
my life, and am much pleased that my
son has broadened out lnroa first-class
merchant. Wheat is a first class com
modity of universal use. The quality
of the wheat which be has purchased
is of the highest, and I am sure will
be in demand at a higher price than
he paid for it. I am well pleased with
the situation."
There was another big increase in
tbe amount of contract wheat in store
here today, over half a million barrels
being added to the stock. Friday and
Saturday nearly 2,500.000 bushels were
delivered here, all of which was taken
by tke Leiter people. At least 3,000,-
000 bushels more are expected to
arrive, and in liquidation of this is ex
pected to come the final test of the
strength of Leiter.
The 500,000 bushels delivered today
bad not the slightest weakening effect
on December wheat. On the contrary,
it sold as high as $1.02 shortly after
the opening.

SADLX MIXED IN CHILI.
All Attempts to t ons a New Cabinet Have
Failed.
Valpariso, Chili, Dec. 20. Politics
in Chili are sadly mixed. Since the
resignation of tke cabinet, which was
due to the coalition ef the government
liberals, the conservatives .and the
Balmacedists, there has been several
attempts to form a new one, but all
efforts in this direction have gone for
naught. - .ii;
The coalition of the three parties
was based on an agreement to give to
each party two members of the cabinet,
Senor Ismael Tocornal undertook to
form a new ministry and failed, be
cause of, the refusal of the government
liberals to abide by the agreement,
they being willing to give only one
member of the cabinet each to the
Balmacedists and conservatives.
Then Senor Pedro Montt undertook
to form a ministry, but was persona
n on grata to certain political leaders;
therefore he failed. Senor Montt was
bitterly attacked by the press, and
President Errazuriz was criticised
harshly by even his own organiza
tions, for choosing him. Scheming
against the interests of tbe country
was charged, and the president was
accused of betraying bis party.
The president has had several con
ferences with the leaders of the three
parties, but so far as can be learned,
be has arrived at no decision as to
whom he will select to form his min
istry. A mass meeting of workingmen was
held here to protest against the pres
ident's policy of refusing all offers to
build more railway cars and locomo
tives at home. The speakers demand
ed that such work be dene in order to
give employment to those who need it
to support themselves and families.
A resolution embodying Ihe sense ef
the meeting was forwarded to the
government in Santiago.

Oakland, Cal., Dec.20. The United
States geodetic survey ship McArthur
has been ordered to Alaska, and with
the openine of spring will bead for the
Yukon, there to remain until a series
of important surveys have been ac
complished and a thorough study of
the country made. The McArthur lies
on tbe ways at the Hay & Wright
shipyard, receiving repairs, but will
soon be in readiness for active service.'
Captain L W. Helms, in charge of
tbe ship, upon instructions from the
navy yard, has received bids for tow
ing a small stern wheel steamer to the
mouth of the Yukon, to aid in the
surveying work and to serve for the
navigation of rivers to shallow for the
McArthur.
The McArthur will work up the
Alaskan coast, taking observations,
until the mouth of tbe Yukon is
reached. Then the stern wbeelnr will
be brought into use, and the crew and
officers will go up tbe Yukon as far as
possible, carefully surveying the coun
try and making charts for a new gov
ernment map of the district.

Washington, Dec. 20. The asser
tion that tbe German fleet, under
Prince Henry, will go to Samoa ana
Hawaii, thus creatiog a menacing
situation for the United States, is
ridiculed in official quarters. When
the reports were called to the atten
tion of the German representatives,
they laughed heartily at the idea.
Nothing of the kind has ever been con
sidered. The Gorman fleet will go to
China via the Suez canal, and its des

St. Petersburg, Dec. 18. It is an
nounced that a Russian squadron,
under Rear-Admiral Reuono, has en
tered Port Arthur, on the Chinese
coast, with the entire acquiescence of
the Chinese government. The squad
ron intends to remain at Port Arthur
throughout .the winter. This is due
solely to the need of a temporary
Winter station, and involves no ques
tion of foreign occupation or hostile
occupation, or any intention against
China, Germany, Japan or any other
power. .
