SPRINGER AND BLAND.
One Says the Carlisle Bill Will Pass
the House and One Says
It Won't.
CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED.
Secretary Herbert's Substantial Christmas
Gifts—Armor Plate Accepted—Bill to
Change Oklahoma's Boundary.
Washington. Doc. 22.—"I believe that the
Carlisle currency bill will be passed by the
house," said Chairman Springer of the
house committee on banking and currency.
"As yet no canvass has been made, but
from the general sentiment I feel that
most of the objections heretofore urged
have been overcome by the substitute in-
troduced last night. It is probable, how-
ever, that there will be a party opposition
from the republican side notwithstanding
ihe changes we have made, as the minori-
ty are not likely to support any measure
unless state banks are entirely eliminated,
and even then it is doubtful whether they
would support any bill originating with
the democrats. But with the harmonizing
of feeling on the democratic side I think
we will have a safe majority for the bill.
The bill in its present form commands the
support of all who are desirous of secur-
ing a sound currency, with the single ex-
ception, perhaps, of the radical silver ele-
ment, which has no faith in any kind of
currency issuing banks and will accept
nothing but government issues of liat
money.
"But I do not regard this element as suf-
ficiently strong to threaten the success
of the bill, in view of the strong sentiment
toward getting together on the best possi-
ble bill for currency revision and sound
money."
Air. Bland of Missouri said: "I will urge
the substitute 1 have already presented,
with the changes already made in the orig-
inal Carlisle bill. These changes are evi-
dently designed to overcome objections,
but they do not overcome the one vital
objection to putting the currency issues of
the country in the hands of national
banks. No change shon of eliminating
national banks of issue will make the bill
approach an acceptable form. 1 am not
prepared to say that my substitute for is-
sues of coin and coin notes directly by the
government will prevail in the house, but
it will certainly be urged with vigor after
the holidays, and 1 have no doubt of its
commanding a very substantial support.
]n my judgment it is not going to pass
in the house of representatives."
TO EXTEND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Washington, Dec. 22.—Representative De
Forest (D) of Connecticut, chairman of the
committee on civil service, to-day intro-
duced a bill to "exclude political influence
in the appointment of postmasters."
It provides that all postmasters now In
office or hereafter to be appointed shall
hold their offices during good behavior.
The president is authorized, however, to re-
move first, second or third class post-
masters "for cause communicated to the
senate" at the session following the re-
moval. The postmaster general is also au-
thorized to remove •fourth class postmas-
ters "for cause communicated in the letter
of removal."
Section 2 provides that neither the presi-
dent nor postmaster general shall appoint
or remove a postmaster for political rea-
sons or upon political grounds, "nor shall
any postoffice inspector recommend any
person for appointment or removal on ac-
count of politics."
it is made the duty of the president and
all lesser officials to prevent, so far as
possible, "any person from disclosing the
political connections or opinions of any
applicant for appointment."
The bill directs that the United States
this portion in consideration of the fact
that each of the officers has suffered in
an unexpected degree from that portion
of their sentence which condemned them
to remain stationary in their grades. The
commander lost six and lieutenant was
"jumped" by no less than eleven officers
who stood below him at the date of his
sentence, all through unwonted activity in
promotions.
PRESIDENTIAL
Washington, Dec.
be divided into districts, each district to b
presided ovxr by a postoffice inspector.
When there is a fourth class* vacancy in
the district the inspector publishes notice
of the vacancy and issues blanks for ap-
plicants. The latter must show their ca-
pabilities of election, health, business, etc.,
for the place and a certificate from a rep-
resentative person as to their capability.
No reference whatever is to be made to
politics and no paper bearing on politics is
to be received. The inspector then makes
a report to the postmaster general and the
appointment is made strictly on merit.
The grading of the applicants shall be open
to public inspection.
THE SUGAR CASES.
Washington, Dec. 22.—The case of Presi-
dent Henry F. Havemeyer and Treasurer
John E. Searles of the American sugar re-
lining company was argued in the district
supreme court, ex-United States Senator
Edmunds, John E. Parsons of New York
and Nathaniel Wilson of this city repre-
senting them, and District Attorney Bir-
jiey appeared for the government.
The district attorney argued that there
•was no distinction between these citizens
and those of the two newspaper men—Ed-
wards and Shriver—now pending decision
in the same court, and of Brokers McCar-
ty and Seymour, whose appeal in the dis-
trict court of their demurrers by Judge
<'ole, is now awaiting the action of the dis-
trict court of appeals.
The counsel for t he defense sought to
prove the distinction. Ex-Senator Ed-
munds argued that as the senate had con-
stitutional right and power to punish for
ihe alleged contempt congress hail no
power to bestow that right and power on
ihe courts. It can not be made an offense
against the United States, he claimed, to
refuse to aid the senate in an execution of
an unconstitutional power, nor to refuse to
answer questions that the senate, in the
course of a lawful investigation, had no
right to put. He referred to the fact that
neither of the indictments alleged that
«ither of the committees ever reported to
ihe senate and considered that on the face
of the indictments the whole proceedings
here appear to be a. gratuitous and bold
invasion by the grand jury of the senate
proceedings in a matter which the statute
liad provided might be acted upon by the
grand jury when the senate should appeal
lo it.
The other counsel for the defense also
made similar arguments.
ARMOR PLATE ACCEPTED.
Washington, Dec. 22.—Andrew Carnegie
called at the navy department to-day and
had an interview with Secretary Herbert.
His purpose was to learn just what the de-
partment required with respect to the lot
of armor plate intended for the forward
barbette of the battleship Oregon, the
test plate of which had been recommended
for rejection as the result of the unsuc-
cessful trial at Indian Head a week ago.
The secretary, however, had last even-
ing decided to accept the entire lot of
plate. His reasons for doing so were that
the cracking of the plate in the test was
caused by the use of a projectile much
superior to the ordinary service shots; that
the Carnegie company was entitled to the
tame concessions made to the Bethlehem
company in the case of their twelve-Inch
plates, namely, that a crack under the first
shot only should not itself be cause for
rejection of the plate, and fini'lly, because
the inspector at the steel woiTJs reported
that the plate submitted to the test was
undoubtedly far inferior to the rest of the
lot. Consequently the entire Jot of 420
tons will at once be shipped to the Union
iron works and put in place on the Oregon.
The contractor has been chafing for some
time at the delay imposed upon his work
by the non-arrival of the armor.
SUBSTANTIAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Washington, Dec. 22.—Secretary Herbert
to-day bestowed several substantial Christ-
mas gifts in the exercise of his clemency.
In the first place he gave orders for the
release of seven sailors who have been im-
prisoned in the Boston naval prison. In
the second place he remitted the unexpired
portions of the sentences imposed upon
Commander Herrman and Lieutenant Ly-
man in consequence of the casting away
of the Kearsarge. These officers had four
months of their year's suspension remain-
ing, and the secretary was moved to remit
SUCCESSION.
22.—Representative
Bryan has introduced two joint resolu-
tions affecting the terms of office of the
president. One resolution proposes an
amendment to the constitution making the
president ineligible lo succeed himself; the
other makes the president ineligible to a
second term.
It is understood that the committee on
elections of president and vice president
is ready to report on the lines of the
Bryan resolution. No present political sig-
nificance is attached to the resolutions, as
the amendments, if adopted, would not be-
come operative until after the next presi-
dential election, and would not, therefore,
apply to the present executive.
IN THE INTEREST OF CLARK.
Washington, Dec. 22.—A delegation from
Chattanooga, Tenn., headed by Congress-
man-elect Brown, is in the city in the
interest of the confirmation of C. D. Clark
as judge of the eastern and middle district
of Tennessee. The delegation had confer-
ences to-day with Attorney General Olney
and members of the senate. Their visit
will have much to do with hastening action
by the judiciary committee, which, how-
ever, will not be able to reach a decision
until after the holiday recess, as no meet-
ing will be held until congress reconvenes.
It is asserted by those who are in a posi-
tion to know that the charges against
Judge Clark have been thoroughly refuted
and the case against him has fallen to the
ground.
BOUNDARY LINE CHANGE.
Washington, Dec. 22.—Senator Cockrell
to-day introduced a bill for a change of
the boundary line between Oklahoma and
the Indian territory. The effect of the bill
would be to take the Osage country from
Oklahoma and add it to the Indian terri-
tory and to throw the Chickasaw country
west of the Seminole line into Oklahoma.
Oklahoma would gain about 2000 square
miles by the exchange. The bill also gives
Oklahoma an additional supreme court jus-
tice, enlarges the legislature by the addi-
tion of four members to the house and di-
vides the new territory into counties.
TO DIVIDE INDIAN LANDS.
Washington, . Dec. 22—Representative
Wheeler of Alabama has introduced a bill
for the surveying and subdivision of the
lands of the five civilized tribes. It pro-
vides, also, that a roll of the Indians en-
tilled to land shall be made up. Each
Indian is to receive eighty acres as a
homestead, except the Choctaw and the
Chickasaw l'reedmen, Who are to receive
fortv acres each. The residue of the land
is to be equally divided among the In-
dians,
TREASURY BALANCES.

SENATE.
Washington, Dec. 22.—There was but a
small attendance of the senate when that
body was called to order to-day by Presi-
dent (pro tem.) Harris, a number of sen-
ators having left for home in anticipation
of the holiday recess.
Mr. Cullom (R) of Illinois presented a
series of resolutions adopted by a meeting
of citizens of Chicago December 9, <
pressing sympathy with the Armenians.
After further routine business had been
transacted the holiday adjournment reso-
lution was formally laid before the senate
and Mr. Cockrell (D) of Missouri said it
was perfectly manifest to those familiar
with the transaction of business in the
senate that it will be 'impossible to be here
1 between now and January 3, as a similar
condition of affairs would exist In the
house. He had never asked the senate to do
anything for his comfort nor would it be
comfort to him to have the senate adjourn
for the proposed time. In view, however
of existing conditions, he asked unanimous
consent that the resolution be considered
Mr. George (D) of Mississippi, however,
objected. !«\>r the purpose of bringing the
matter I1 .'ore the senate Mr. Manderson
(R) of Xe'braska moved the reference of
the holiday adjournment to the appropria-
tions committee.
Mr. George then addressed the senate on
the resolution. He said that lie was well
aware that an objection to a holiday recess
would not meet with great favor. He be-
lieved it was the duty of 'the senate (as
on former occasions) to sit during the holi-
days and he proposed to take steps to test
the sense of the senate on the question.
He did not do this to delay or annoy sena-
tors but simply to have a fair expression
of the senate on the question. If the sen-
ate adopted this r, solution, one-third of the
session would have expired and not a .-ingle
appropriation would have been passed, in
taking the step he did, he said, he had the
support of a number of other senators.
The senat ■ had decided emphatically that
no rule should be adopted to facilitate busi-
ness, so that in the two months remaining
after January 1 the business transacted
wiil bo what the small minority of this
body decide it shall be.
The senator then named a number of
important bills on the calendar which
would give rise to considerable discussion,
among them being tne Carlisle financial
bill, now pending in the house, and the
item in one of the appropriation bills mak-
ing an appropriation to collect the income
tax.
Mr. Manderson (It) of Nebraska, in a
brief speech, expressed the hope that no
factious or personal opposition would be
made to the resolution, as it was formally
reported in the appropriations committee.
In answer to u Question by Mr. Frye, he
pointed out that even debate on a bill
could not be stopped in the point of no
quorum made.
Finally Mr. George withdrew his objec-
tion and the adjournment resolution was
placed before the senate and passed.
Mr. Dolph (R) of Oregon moved to se-
cure consideration of the bill to amend a
section of the law providing for an adjust-
ment of the land grants made by congress
to aid in the construction of railways, etc.,
and which, lie explained, enabled the pres-
ent law to be applied to a certain class of
land eases which seemed to have been
overlooked in the original law.
Messrs. Call (D) of Florida and Allen (P)
of Nebraska, however, objected and Mr.
Dolph withdrew his motion.
Mr. Morgan had the floor to reply to Mr.
Turpie's remarks on the Nicaragua canal
bill. He said, however, that the latter's
speech had not appeared in the Record
until to-day and he was satisfied that he
would not. have time to complete his re-
marks before adjournment. He was will-
ing to yield to a motion for an executive
session, which prevailed, after which, at
1.45 p. 111.. the senate adjourned until
Thursday, January 3, at noon.
HOUSE.
Washington, Dec. 22.—There were but few
members 011 the floor when the house con-
vened. Three bills were passed by unani-
mous consent before the regular order was
demanded. One was passed on motion of
Mr. Doolittle (R) of Washington, to grant
American registry to the barks Linda of
North Carolina and Archer of Washington;
the other two presented on motion of
Messrs. Paynter (D) of Kentucky and Geer
(R) of Iowa were pension bills.
Debate on the currency was then re-
sumed, Mr. Coombs (1)) of New York open-
ing in favor of the bill.
Mr. Bell, democrat, of Texas, followed
^position. He said the argument of
in
the advocates of this measure" reminded
him of Touchstone's plea for Audrey in
"As You Like It." Touchstone confessed
that Audrey was not particularly fav-
ored, but she was "mine own." Currency
reform was becoming a fad, he thought.
Mr. Bowers, republican, of California,
and Mr. Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska,
also opposed the bill. The latter at-
tacked the administration viciously for
dumping on the committee 011 banking
and currency, and the house hardly con-
sidered the bill like the one pending. Its
weakness was demonstrated when, after
four days of verbal bombardment, it had
been practically withdrawn and another
measure sub&tituted.
Mr. liryan said that stripped of its
verbiage this bill was a simple proposi-
tion to authorize the government to loan
banks money at a low rate of interest
or at 110 rate, to be in turn loaned by
them at whatever rate they could se-
cure.
Mr. Bryan directed attention to the con-
tradictory views of Jefferson and Cleve-
land, the first and last democratic presi-
dents, on this subject. "Mr. Cleveland
thinks," said he, "that the issue of cur-
rency is a function of the banks.
"Jefferson declared such an issue is a
function of the government, and thought
that banks should go out of the issuing
business. I am not ashamed to say that
I stand by Thomas Jefferson and not
by Grover Cleveland."
Mr. Bryan said he had been and was
now in favor of gold and silver money,
because the amount of money would de-
pend on the law of supply and demand.
At the close of Mr. Bryan's speech the
house at 5 p. m. adjourned until Jan-
uary 3, 1895.
BURNED TO DEATH.
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 22.—As the result of
a small fire here to-night Mabel, the 3-
year-old daughter of Edward Shelton, was
burned to death, her infant sister is dying
from skull fracture as the result of being-
dropped from a second story window and
Mrs. Shelton will probably die from spinal
and internal injuries suffered by being
forced to leap from the window. The fire
originated in a room below the one occu-
pied by the family and cut off all means
of escape before discovered. Shelton was
not at home and the mother was able to
get only one of her sleeping children out
before she was forced to leap in order to
save herself. The property loss was small.

COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 22,—A meeting of rep-
resentatives of the colleges of the south

against the cotton seed crushers' associa-
tion would be dismissed. He replied that
the present term of Judge Scott's court
expired to-day, and that the suit had not
been dismissed, and that there was 110
probability or even possibility of a dis-
missal so far as the attorney general s
department was concerned. The story

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Misrule of Chicago Spoken of Before a
Single Tax Club.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 22,—Dr. Carlos Martyn
gave his views on municipal reform at the
weekly meeting of the single tax club last
night. The speaker said a feature of the
political and moral situation wa3 the ab-
normal growth of cities. The census of
1790 showed thirteen towns in the United
States with more than 5000 inhabitants and
not one with more than 40,000. In 1890 there
were more than 500u towns with over 5000
and more than thirty cities with over 100,-
000, showing the cities were outgrowing
the country. The Atlantic seaboard was
already urban.
Continuing he said: "The cities govern
the country, yet by our own confession we
can not govern the cities. The question
of municipal reform is the question of the
surveyor of the republican institutions.
Life in Chicago is a hippodrome. We are
tearing along, absorbed in business and
have turned our city over Into the hands
of 500 professional politicians. But the
situation has become intolerable. What is
needed is a non-partisan administration on
a civil service reform basis."
Dr. Martyn said the conditions of muni-
cipal misrule were a heterogenous popula-
tion, un-American habits, a confederation
of vices, the spoils system and the politi-
cal machine. Dr. Martyn described of the
machine and spoke of its power and its
sources of revenue, regular and irregular.
The regular, he said, levied from the con-
tributions of partisan citizens assessment,
levied on all employes, gamblers, persons
of ill fame and saloons for immunity, sums
aggregating hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars. But the chief source of revenue is
jobbing. Franchises are bought and sold.
There is a regular scale, some for mo much
and Walpole's maximum is illustrated, that
every man has his price.
In closing Dr. Martyn said: "The pre-
occupation of our people has prevented
them from giving the time and attention
necessary to reform these abuses. The
hour has come to inform and inflame public
opinion. The population of Chicago is
mapped off into classes, between which
there is as strict non-intercourse as there
was between France and England in the
time of the first Napoleon. We can find
an equalizer and a common bond in civic
patriotism. In saving our cities we shall
save the country and perpetuate free gov-
ernment."

DOUBLE EXECUTION.
Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 22.—John Stanley
and Clarence Cox were executed at iMay-
nardsville this afternoon for the murder of
•Mr. and Mrs. Snodderly. They protested
their innocence.
The crime for which Stanley and Cox
were hung was that of murder. On the
evening of February 7 last they went to
the home of Henry Snodderly,' in Union
county, Tenn., and shot both Snodderly
and his wife to death. The former was
90 years of age and the latter 70. Stanley
and Cox thought the old man had a large
sum of money concealed in the house, and
they committed the awful crime in order
to secure it. Before they could search the
place, however, they were frightened away.
They were arrested and, although they de-
nied their guilt, the evidence against them
was conclusive, it was shown that Stanley
fired both the fatal shots. Cox wa3 22
years old and Stanley was 35 and married.
The execution was witnessed by fully 3500
people. Under the laws of Tennessee exe-
cutions are to be private, only a few per-
sons specified by the law being allowed to
witness the execution. Such was not the
case to-day. An inclosure had been erected
'in a valley one mile from the jail. It was
20 feet wide and 40 feet long. Inside this
the execution was to take place on a
double gallows.
Sheriff John Shipe had sworn in a special
guard of 100 men to protect the prisoners
arid to keep the crowd back. The crowd,
however, was drinking and became very
unruly. Shortly before 1 o'clock the guard
left the stockade for the jail. While on the
way the mob made a rush for the stockade
and in less time than it takes to tell It the
stockade was razed to the ground as (if a
cyclone had struck it.
The excitement was Intense and it looked
for a few minutes as if bloodshed would
be the result, but cooler judgment pre-
vailed and everything passed off all right.
THES0UTHERN HOSPITALITY
Appreciated by the President for Its Under-
lying Principle of American
Citizenship.
Georgetown, S. C., Dec. 22.—Amid the
ringing of bells and the continuous shriek-
ing of steam whistles, the Wisteria, bear-
ing President Cleveland and party came to
„her moorings here at 1.45 o'clock this after-
noon. They were met by the committee of
the Palmetto club, which tendered the
president a reception and collation in the
historic hall of the Winyap Indigo society,
an organization chartered in 1781, and
whose guest President Washington had
been. The committee, headed by Mayor
Morgan and President Cleveland, together
with the rest of the presidential suite, were
driven through the gayly decorated streets
to the hall, where upwards of 500 people
shook the hand of the chief executive. The
collation, served at 3 o'clock, was in the
nature of a game dinner, twelve dozen mal-
lards having been prepared for the occa-
sion, together with other game viands.
The president was welcomed by Mayor
Morgan in a brief but felicitous speech.
The mayor referred to the fact that
Georgetown had been honored by visits
from Presidents Washington and Monroe
and that Lafayette had first landed here
when he came to assist in securing inde-
pendence for the colonies.
President Cleveland being called upon to
respond said:
"Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of George-
town and Vicinity: 1 rise to express my
thanks to convey the acknowledgments
I feel in the courtesies extended me in
meeting the people of Georgetown. South-
ern hospitality is noted and justly. This
is not the first time 1 h&ve enjoyed it, but
let me say that 1 have always esteemed it
the more because 1 felt it was the under-
lying principle of American citizenship.
(Applause.)
"I am not vain enough to feel that this
reception is intended to me personally. I
wish it were. But it is for the president.
It is well to honor the president and it is
well for the occupant of this high place
to meet the people of our country, for it
is only thus that the close bond of sym-
pathy can be obtained which will enable
the chief executive to mete out equal jus-
tice and fair dealing to high and low, rich
and poor, as he is called upon to do. I
leave your state, where 1 have gained so
much recuperative health by pleasant out-
door sport, which I have greatly enjoyed,
to assume again the perplexing duties of
the office of president, but I wish to assume
you that in the years to come, when the
events of this trip shall be but memories
of the past, I shall always cherish in the
home circle the episode of this visit to
Georgetown among the pleasantest of my
stay in your state." (Applause.)
After the guests had drunk the health of
Grover Cleveland the collation terminated.
The president's party was then driven to
the depot, where the private car Wild wood
conveyed them to Lanes by special engine,
Where is was connected with the regular
northbound train due at Washington at 7
o'clock to-morrow morning. The president
is looking improved by his trip. His com-
plexion is ruddy and his eyes clear and
bright.
Dr. O'Reilly, his physician, who accom-
panied his on his trip, says the president's
MILL EXPLOSION.
Glasgow, Ivy., Dec. 22.—Meager particu-
lars have been received here of a mill ex-
plosion to-day near Bonayr, about three
miles from this place, in which Robert
Byrd and a man named Spann were killed
outright and three others, a son of Spann,
a young man named Claude Dealing, son
of the owner of the mill, and another,
whose name could not be learned, were
fatally injured. The mill was a saw and
grist 'mill and was run by J. H. Dearing,
and this was the grinding day. Too little
water in the boiler, it is reported, was the
cause of the explosion.

of
the legal limit, }£. of 1 per cent, but the
shippers have felt tho loss and have sorted
the coins, keeping the light' weight oties at
home.
The banks object to them and one for-
eign house took a lot to tlhe subtrcasury
and asked that they be redeemed in paper.
This the treasury officials declined to do,
saying the redeeming of paper promises to
pay did not carry with it the reverse duty
of redeeming gold in paper. The only thing
left to do was to deposit the gold In the
bank, whence it would work its way back
to the treasury. The assay office has re-
ceived a novel proposition from an ex«
porting house. It wanted to deposit Amer-
ican gold coin and have it melted into
stamped bars. The proposition was de-
c.ined, though, if the coin was light weight
or mutilated, it could 'be remelted at the
regular fee.
A Pri.vate detective called at the assay
office for assistance in tracing two gold
bars which he said had been smuggled in
from Mexico.
SHOT HIMSELF.
Guthrie, Ok., Dec. 22.—Albert Grooms,
living near Iioyle, thought he heard
thieves about the house at night, and
while attempting to take down his gun
it was discharged, the load entering his
body.
rheumatism and gout are much
marked than when he came here.

Guthrie, Ok., Dec. 22.—J. McDaniels
Stillwater had some time ago applied for
a divorce from his wife on the ground of
extreme jealousy, which had caused her
to leave him.
When the plaintiff was put on the stand
in the supreme court Chief Justice Dale
asked: "Do you swear to me that you have
never had illicit intercourse with any other
woman since you took this defendant to
be your wife?"
"No, I will not," answered McDaniels.
Without further testimony the applica-
tion for a divorce was denied and the
case dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.

Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 22.—G. M. Irwin, the
discretionary pool operator, was released
from jail late last evening on $20,000 ball.
SOUTHERN TRADE.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 22.—The Trades-
man reports from all over the south show
a steady improvement in cypress and yel-
low pine. Hard woods are in light demand,
owing to the clo&e of the building season.
Lumber dealers are moving for lower
freights and better railroad facilities for
handling stock.
There is a better feeling in iron and ru-
mors of a slight advance in price and
heavy sales are current. Activity in pro-
duction continues and is increasing.
The coal market is quiet but steady
and prices ore unchanged. The
output is the average for the season and
is slowly increasing. Amongthe chief in-
dustries reported to the Tradesman as
organized during the week are the follow-
ing: A $200,000 cotton compress at Au-
gusta, Ga., $ Hid,000 cotton storage plant at
Clarksburg, W. \'a., a new iron furnace
at Pulaski, Va., a. large Iron working
plant at Meridian, Miss., a 5000 spindle cot-
Ion mill at Atlanta; also cotton mills at
Bath, S. C., Shelby, N. C., and Walthalla,
S. C.; also an $80,000 lumber mill at Wil-
mington, N. C.
JUGGLING GOLD.
New York, Dec. 22.—Subtreasury officials
say an effort Is being made in New York
to juggle the government's gold. Exporters
are working all kinds of schemes to get
full weight coins. They are very anxious
to get hold of gold bars and bricks with
the government's stamp of fineness on
them. Uncle Sam has $46,000,000 worth of
these, but, in order to cut down exports
sometime ago, made a rule to redeem treas-
ury notes only In gold coin. The light
weight coins complained of are all within
