NEW SILVER' BILL Bland Has a Substitute for the Carlisle Currency Plan. RETAINS NATIONAL BANK LAW And Provides for Coin Notes Redeemable at the Option of the Government In . Kit her Silver or Gold An Emergency - Fund I Also Created. "Washington, December 20. Repre sentative Bland of Missouri will move to strike out all after the enacting clause in the Carlisle currency bill now before the House of Representatives and substi tute a measure he has prepared for a currency system based on coin and coin notes. Mr. Bland's plan does not inter fere with the existing national bank sys tem, bat instead of allowing banks to issue notes as the Carlisle plan proposes, Mr. Bland proposes that the government issue the notes, calling them coin notes. These are to be redeemed in gold and silver coin and the government is to com both metals. The Bland measure would have been offered as a substitute for the pending bill, but as Mr. Walker of Mas sachusetts has given notice of presenting a substitute embodying the Republican view of the subject, Mr. Bland's plan will be ollered in connection with a mo tion to strike out all after the enacting clause. The Bland bill provides for the free coinage of silver and for the depcit of gold and silver bullion and the issuance of legal tender notes upon it. The bull ion is to be subsequentlycoined and the coin notes are to be redeemed in gold and silver without discrimination, as may be most advantageous to the gov ernment. Provision is also made for is suing coin notes on standard silver coin. Ali the outstanding gold and silver cer tificates are to be retired and coin notes are to be substituted therefor. Provision is also made for the redemp tion of outstanding greenbacks and treasury notes in gold or silver coin with out discrimination. An emergency fund is created so that in case of panic or money stringency the Secretary of the Treasury may, on deposit of United States interest bearing bonds, issue to denositors of the bonds coin notes. Interest on such bonds is to go to the zovernment while they are on deposit, and should they mature while on deposit they are to be cancelled. TO FIGHT, IF NEED BE. Kngland and Russia Would Object to an Invasion of Nankins;. Londox, December 20. It is under stood that the agreement between Eng land and Russia in regard to the war in the F.ast does not permit any warlike operations in the vicinity of Shanghai. This includes the prohibition of a hostile fleet passing through the entranceof the Yang Tse Kiang river, japan nas re cently threatened to disregard this agree inent on the ground that the Shanghai arsenal is supplying Chinese with arL etc. It is believed the third Japanese armv at Hiroshima is destined for iNan king. The English and Russian govern ments have intimated they would pre vent this movement, and the recent as sembling of the British fleet at Chusan and the Russian fleet at Che Foo is ac counted for. It is understood England and Russia have decided to fight, if nec essary, to prevent hostilities on the Yang Ise Kiang. HAI CHENG CAPTUBED. London, December 20.

Niw Obbans, December 20. News received here this afternoon from Be lize, British Honduras, under date of December 14 is to the effect that there has been considerable rioting there in consequence of the refusal of the em ployers to pay the wages demanded by the men. The laborers are prin cipally those employed in mahogany and logwood cutting. 1 hey sought an inter view with the Governor, and complained of the low rate of wages paid them, ask- ng him to in ten ere in their behall. The delayed rep'y of the Governor waa to the effect that, while he felt much sympathy lor the men, he could not see bis wav clear to interfere between employer and employe. Ihe laborers were very much exasper ated at the reply, and toward evening of me dav the reply was given they con gregated in large crowds and began riot ing. They proceeded to break into and rifle large stores ; and, while no one was seriously hurt, many were badly bruised. VV hen the mob reached Mnltne s store it was confronted by the clerks armed with revolvers. They fired over the heads of the mob, and wounded a man and a woman. -The mob then rushed into Cramer's store, and carried off a large number of watches. The mob finally attacked the police station, having been but slightly opposed by the constabu lary, and the entire city was at its mercy. At this time Captain Macallister of the British gunboat Partridge, realizing that the violence ought to be checked, landed a force of marines and stationed them. The riot act was read to the mob, and when a heavy gun had been put in posi tion the violence was checked. The British gunboat Pelican also landed a force. On the 12th an attempt was made by the strikers to rescue eleven prisoners as they were being transferred from the police station to the tail, but the blue jackets drove them off. Wednesday Cramer & Co. posted a notice offering to pay woodchoppers lo per month the amount the strikers demanded. ANNEXATION OF CANADA. The Full Text or Senator Itesolullon. Gallinger's Washinoto.v, December 20. The fol lowing is the full text of the Canadian reeolution introduced to-day by Senator Gallinger: Whereas, we believe that the political union of the two great English-speaking communities who now occupy and con trol North .America will deliver the con tinent from danger of war and securely dedicate it to peaceful industry and progress and lessen the per capita cost of government aeiense; insure me rapiu development of its boundless natural re sources ; enlarge its domestic and foreign commerce : unite all interests in creat ine a svstematic development 01 1 means of internal communication with the seaboard by rail and water East and W est ; protect and preserve its weaitn, resources, privileges and opportunities as the undisputed heritage of old; im mensely add to its influence, prestige and power ; promote, extend and perpet uate government by tne people ana re move forever the causes most likely to seriously disturb cordial relations and kindly intercourse to the motherland ; therefore, be it Kesolved, That we invite Canadian people to cast in their lot with their own continent, and assure them that they shall have all the continent can give them. We will respect their freedom of action and welcome it when they desire it into an equal and honorable union." CONFIRMED BY BAKER. Mosquito Indiana Incorporated 1 Nicaragua. Washington, December 20. The De partment of State has received a dis patch from Minister Baker at Managua, saying that the Mosquito Indians have surrendered their rights under the treaty of Managua, and have become incorpor ated with Nicaragua. This surrender, it is understood, disposes of the last ves tige of the claim of sovereignty by tne Mosquito Indians over the Mosquito re serve set aourt by the Managua treaty of 1860 and the award of the Emperor of Austria thereunder. It also termi nates any ground for continued pretext of a British "protectorate" oyer the Mosouito reservation, and greatly sim nlifies the richt of transit across the isthmus. , After Iry Natural Gaa.

CAPTURE OF NEW CHWANG The Two Armlet, Amounting; to Seventy Two Thousand Hen, Are Marching Direct to Tien Tsln An Outbreak An ticipated In Shanghai. New York, December 19. A dispatch to a morning paper from Shanghai, dated December 18, says : The first and second Japanese armies are marching direct to Tien Tain. They are now north of New Chwang, which place has been captured. Several other cities have also been taken withont any serious fighting. The force of the two armies combined amounts to about 72,000 men. y FROM THE FRENCH CAPITAL. Paris, December 19. A dispatch from Shanghai says the first and second Jap anese armies have joined each other north of New Chwang and are now marching direct to Tien Tsin. AN pUTBBIAK FEARED. Shanghai, December 19. The Shang hai officials of the native city have re moved their wives and families to the foreign settlements for safety in antici pation of an outbreak, which is feared in consequence of the imposition of the war tax. TIEN TSIN POORLY DEFENDED. London, December 19. The Times 'orrecpondent in Tien Tsin says that there are only fourteen shells to each aim in the city's defenses. This scarcity is due largely to the action of the Ptking Hoard of Finance, which has curtailed 'he supplies of ammunition for years. THE FIGHT NEAR FENG HCASG. Yokohama, Decern! i- id. In fighting near Feng Huang the Japanese lost twelve killed and sixtv-three wounded. The Chinese had 139 killed. WERE SOLDIERS IN DISGUISE. Washington, December 19. The Jap anese legation to-day received another telegram from Matsu, Minister of For eign Anairs, regarding the reported atrocities by Japanese soldiers at the fall of Fort Arthur. Dispatch says the gov ernment is not yet in possession of the full facts, but has ascertained the follow ing circumstances: Many Chinese sol diers both at Port Arthur and those who came in from the outlying fortifications taken by Japanese soldiers discarded their uniforms, and it is now known to be certain that nearly all the Chinese killed in plain clothes were soldiers in disguise. The Chinese inhabitants 'pre sumably a majority) of Port Arthur left before the engagement, though a few re mained, having been armed and ordered to resist the Japanese and fire upon them. This they did, and in the confu sion of the fight it was impossible to dis tinguish them Irom the Chinese soldiers. The Japanese army entering Port Arthur was greatly excited by the sight 01 the fearfully mutilated bodies of their com rades, some of whom had been burned alive and some crucified. Notwithstand ing this the discipline of the army was maintained. JS umbers ot Chinese pris oners were taken and kindly treated. The wounded who could be moved are on the way to Tokio, and will arrive in a few days. THE RED CROSS IN THE WAR. Washington, December 19. An of ficial telegram was received by MisB Clara Barton, President of the American Red Cross Society, to-day from the Jap anese legation to correct the erroneous statements going the rounds of the press, that the Red Cross had been rejected by Japan, etc. The Japanese Minister very courteously volunteered to ascertain the facts from his government, aDd as a re sult the following message was received by him from the Minister ot foreign Ai fairs at Tokio, dated December 16, 18W: "After the fall of Fort Arthur a Chi nese steamer entered Port Arthur with a few foreigners on board, who stated that they belonged to a so-called private Red Cross Society of Tien Tsin, and asked that the wounded Chinese should be delivered to them for treatment at Tien Tsin. They produced certificates from Li Hung Chang and some foreign Consuls. Our military authorities re plied that, while they appreciated the philanthropic spirit which prompted this action, the Chinese wounded were pris oners of war and could not be allowed to be taken to their own country, which was hostile to Japan, even though the request was made through the good of fices of the Consuls of neutral powers. They added that the Japanese field hos pital would care for the wounded Chi nese, for which purpose it had abnndaut facilities, and retiuested tne Chinese ves sel to leave the harbor within a specified time." Bearer of Kellcs. Rome, December 20. United States Ambassador MacVeagh gave a dinner to-day to the officers of the cruiser De troit, which brought home the Vatican relics exhibited at the Columbian Expo sition. A solemn reception of the offi cers by the Pope is now regarded as un certain. Another I.exow Spasm. Washington, December 20.- The po lice department of the city may be lex owed after the holidays.
