AMENDING THE BILL.
Cleveland's Plan Being Touched
Up In Committee.
SILVER MEN EXPECT ITS DEATH.
Thejr Think the Silver Senator Will Kill
It With Talk Republican Co-Operate
With Administration I)inocrt-Senate
Committee Accompliahes Nothing.
Washington. Jan 30. The house
committee on banking and currency
sjHMit the session in debating the new
administration bill, went through it by
sections, adopted three important
amendments and adjourned, leaving
two amendments to be acted on. Chair
man Springer says that the committee
will be able to report the amended bill
to the house today. Republican mem
bers say that the plan will be in com
mittee two or three days longer, but all
agree that it will be reported to the
house in time, although materially
changed from the original plan, since
the Republicans are disposed to co
operate with the administration Demo
crats. There wins some sparring for
points in the committee, and a general
disposition to engraft personal schemes
upon the measure, but as a whole the
proceedings were an usually free trom
partisansniD.
Chairman Springer has not yet de
cided how much time he will ask the
committee on rule to give for debate
The bill is a privileged one and can be
called up at any time. Accordingly, the
California Democratic members, who
are fighting the Reilly Pacific railroad
bill very bitterly, are urging Mr.
Springer to report the financial measure
today, if possible, and displace the
Reilly bill. -The action of the house
upon the amended hill seems to depend
upon the Republicans, who hold the
balance of power. How far the amend
meuts will placate the opposition, re
mains to be seen, but it is conceded that
the chances of the measure are much
better in the house than in the senate.
Its opponents are largely deluding up
on the free silver senators to talk
it to death, as they may be able to do in
a body which has no rule by which it
can fix a day for a vote.
f the three amendments to the bill
adopted, the first, proposed by Haugen
(Rep., Wis.), reduces the tax npon the
circulation from 1 per cent per annum
to one-fourth of I per cent, payable
semi-annually. The second, proposed
by Walker (Rep., Mass.), strikes out the
fifth section of the bill, that requiring
import duties to be paid in gold. The
vote upon it was: Yeas, 6; nays, 4.
The other amendment adopted strikes
ont the words "fifty years after date"
and makes the bonds "payable at the
pleasure of the United States after ten
years from the date of issue." This pro
posal to shorten the bond term met
with nearly unanimous approval.
When the committee adjourned, two
amendments were pending to be acted
ujicn. ue, offered by Mr. Rnpell
(Rep.), stipulates that the retirement
and cancellation of legal tenders for
each month shall not be greater than
the increase in amount of national bank
notes, under the operation of the plan
This amendment was carried when first
ottered, aud then there was a successf nl
motion to reconsider and postpone action
for a day.
Representative Walker stands sponsor
for the other pending amendment, which
is to require one-half of the reserve
funds of the banks to be held in gold
coin or gold certificates, the other half
in silver coin or silver certificates. Ten
per cent of the reserve is to be held in
this stipulated form on July 1, 1895; 5J0
per cent at the end of three months; the
change being made at the rate of 10 per
cent a quarter until completed. The
discussion upon this amendment hinged
on the point whether forcing the bank
to secure gold for deposits would not
cause a greater demand upon the treas
ury for gold than the raids which are
now in progress.
The proceeding of the senate finance
committee meeting were based npon a
bill which had been prepared by Senator
Voorhees. This bill provided simply
for the issuance of short time certificates
which were to be used for the purpose
of making good the reserve and of
meeting the revenue deficiency, but
when the afternoon session opened he
had added a clause providing for the
free coinage of silver. There was a
motion to strike out the silver provision,
which Wits lost on a tie vote of 5 to 3,
all the Republican members and Senator
McPherson (Dem.) voting for the motion
and all the Democrats opposing it. A
rote was then taken on the proposition
as a whole and it was lost by a vote of
i too, Senators Vest and White, is well
as McPherson, voting with the Repub
licans. There was also a tie vote on a
motion by Senator Aldrich to substitute
the Springer bill for the Yoorheea bill
SUGAR SCHEDULE .REPEAL
Jaomnty-Pavlner Countries Don't Have to
fay the Differential.
Washington, Jan. 30. A special
order was invoked in the house to bring
the bill to repeal the one-tenth of 1 cent
differential duty imposed by the new
tariff law on sugars imported by bounty
paying countries and It was passed
without amendment by vote of 23
to 31.
A series "of amendments, two offered
by Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Hopkins, look
ing to retaliation in caee Germany re
fused to admit our meat products after
the differential; one bv Mr. Hitt (Ills.),
to repeal the one-eighth differential on
refined sugar; one by Mr. Dingley (Me.),
to provide that this act should not be
construed to mean that the United
States surrendered the right under
treaties containing favored nation
clauses, to effect bounties by the im
position of equivalent differential duties,
and one bv Mr VauVoorhis (N. Y.), to
Filaoe all sugar, raw and refined, on the
re liet. were lost by practically strictly
party votes
The debnt-; was of nn interesting
character and at times verv spirited
It touched finite extensively on the
treasury situjt'on and the remedies tc
be applied. Mr. Diuaiey (Me.) made
long statement of the receipts and ex
peiiditurcs to show that the treasury
was suffering from lack of revenue aud
that the first duty of the government
was to Increase the receipts of the treas
ury. Mr. Reed took a similar new of
the situation, which wa again denied
by Mr. Wilson (W. V.). The attempts
to amend the bill by repealing the othet
portious of the sugar duty were opposed
by Mr. Wilson on the ground that if
the bill was loaded down with amend
ments it would surely meet its doom in
the senate.

A Washington special says: Senor
Romero, the Mexican minister, and
Senor Arriago, the Guatemalan minis
ter, called at the state department.
They were admitted at once to the dip
lomatic room and entered upon a discus
siott of the troubles between their re
spective ojuntr-.es with Secretary
Gresham. In such case- the ministers
are usually charged with power by their
governments to offer and receive sug
gestiolis looking to a settlement of the
disuuted questions, subject, of course,
to the approval of the home govern
ments, but in this cuse both officials
have denied that the matter is iu their
hands, so the inference is that Secretary
Greshain is simply urging them to ad
vise their governments to show a spirit
of mutual concession. All the parties
to the conference refuse to disclose the
nature of the proceedings, but it is sug
gested in one quarter that a tentative
projKjsition advanced looks to the rele
gation of the Mexican demand for a
money indemnity for trespass on the
Chiapas lands to the date of the com
pletiou of the boundary survey between
Mexico and Guatemala. If it is then
found that Guatemala has been guilty
of trespass, she must pay the indemnity
and not otherwise.

Constipation
Demands prompt treatment. The re
sults of neglect may be serious. Avoid
all harsh and drastic purgatives, the
tendency of which is to weaken the
bowels. The best remedy Is Ayer'a
I'ills. Being purely vegetable, their
action is prompt aud their effect always
beneficial. They are an admirable
Liver and After-dinner pill, and every
where endorsed by the profession.
" Ayers Pills are highly and univer
sally siMiken of by the people alxiut
here. I make daily use of them in my
practice." Dr. J. E. Fowler, Bridge
port, Conn.
" I can recommend Ayer's Pills above
all others, having long proved thai;
value as a cathartic for myself and
family." J. T. Hess, Leithsville, I'a.
" For several years Ayer's Tills have
been used iu tiiy family. We find theia
an
Effective Remedy
for constipation and indigestion, and
are never without them in the house."
Moses Greuier, Lowell, Mass.
" I have tiseil Ayer's Pills, for liver
troubles and indigestion, duriiie many
years, and have always found them
prompt and efficient in their action."
L. N. Smith, L'tica, N. Y.
" I suffered from constipation which
assumed such an obstinate form that I
feared it would cause a stoppage of the
bowels. Two lMxes of Ayer's Pills ef
fected a complete cure." D. lturke,
Saco, Me.
I have used Ayer's Pills for the past
thirty years ami consider them an in
valuable family medicine. I know of
no lietter remedy for liver troubles,
ami have always found them a prompt
rtire for djfpesia." James Quinn, 5J
Middle St., Hartford, Conn.
" Having ln-en troubled with costive
ness. which twins inevitable with r
Botts of sedentary habits, I have tried
Ayer's I'ills, hoping for relief. I am
clad to sa that thev have served me
better than any oilier medicine. I
arrive at tins coticlnsiou only after a
faithful trial of their merits." Samuel
T. Junes, Oak Lkislou. Mass.
