TO UTILIZE SILVEK BILLION
The Pennsylvania .'Member's Schema
M ould) striate Int ' SI -'VOOO.-000
Worth of Bullion That
I. Idle In th Treasury.
Washington. March 13. "I have pre
pared and fliall Introduce in the house,"
said Keniesetitutive Brosius. of Penn
nylvanla, to a I'nltetl I'ress reporter,
"a bill to relieve the difficulties in utiv
monetary situation. It embodies sev-
eral interesting1 propositions.
"First, It authorues national banks
to Issue circulation to the par value
of their bonds. Secondly, It reduces the
taxation on national bank circulation
to one-fourth of one per cent. Third,
It authorises the organization of na
tional banks with a capital stock of
123.000 In towns of not more than 3,0u0
inhabitants. Fourth. 1t utilises the
JU.'.Ooo.uoo of sliver bullion now lylnx
idle In the vaults of the treasury by
uniting It with an equal amount of Ruld
which Is now In the treasury making
a combined sold and silver reserve re
demption fund of J:'0.0Xi.WO, which
shall be net upart by the secretary of
the tieasury and kept separate and
apart to redeem outstanding IckuI tend
er notes und treasury notes aa they
shall be presented for redemption."
"How do you propose to use this joint
fund for redemption purposes'.'"
"My Idea is that the secretary of the
treasury shall redeem notes at his op
tion as they are presented la Koii or
In silver bullion at lis market value,
or In silver coin at the option of the
holder."
"How do you keep this fund replen
ished?" "The bill provides that the tfold part
of the reserve fund shall be maintained
precisely ax it has been In the past.
The silver iiortlon will be maintained
by the use of any surplus silver in the
treustiry not otherwise appropriated, or,
If necessary, by the purchase of silver
bullion, as under the Sherman act of
IsSO, confining the- purchase exclusively
to domestic silver and paying therefor
In any surilus money In the treasury,
or, if none, by treasury notes the same
us is Movltled in the Sherman uct."
''What will be the chief advantage
of the proposed plan?"
"Well, f..r one thill. It will end the
stupendous folly of keeplnu l:':,,tK)uo.0OO
worth of stiver bullion in the vaults
uf the treasury without the slightest
utility to anybody on earth. It will so
strengthen the reserve fund as to re
store In some degree at least the confi
dence of th- people in the Intention and
the uMIUy of the ipivcrnmeiit to main
tuin the iiatity of the metals and to re
deem all Its paper in vuue money, dollar
for dollar. Cnder existing law that Im
mense pile of stiver bullion cannot be
used even for the redemption of treas
ury notes that were paid out fur its
purchuse. It would also have a tend
ency to give 'additional credit to the
treasury notes by pledging for their
payment- tin amount of silver bullion
equivalent to their faca value. It would
hav. a tendency to check the endless
chain redemption which is continuously
depleting our gold reserve and compell
ing us to Issue bonds fur gold to keep
It up."
1SI-: OF SILVEIt BfLLION.
"Are there not some objections to that
mode of using silver bullion?"
"I cunnot see any Insuperable dltlicul
ties about It. The silver people ought
not to object, for it opens the way to
use the bwlllun and nun u tendency to
sustain Its price. The holders of notes
presented for redemption ought not to
complain, for they get the face value
of their notes In silver bullion at its
gold value which can be as readily ex
ported In payment for foreign balunces
us gold could be. It mlfiht be objected
that Si'fiO.OoO.OuO is too large a fund for
redemption purposes. 1 think It would
greatly relieve the situation If we could
largely Increase our reserve fund, when
we established the tlOO.oOO.iHHJ reserve
we had but tHti.000.OuO of paper out to
be protected. Xow we have in round
numbers XO.dOO.uoo and It is quite ob
vious that we need a larger reserve.
Furthermore It would utilise tl.OuO.OOO
of silver now lying Idle In the treasury
und in the mints of the country, ut no
cost to the government and would be
a distinct gain In the way of strengthen
ing the situation and Inspiilni; public
confidence. It may be objected by our
silver friends that the use of silver
bullion as a commodity Is a degradation
of the metal. But I think the use or
our idle sillver bullion for any mone
tary purposes and to give it a chance
to put its shoulder to the wheel and
help out our gold, would he u dis
tinct elevation of the metal to the rank
and dignity of money.
It has been suggested tliut holders
of paper redeemed In silver bullion for
purposes of export might sustain a loss
before they could ship the bullion to u
foreign creditor. There does not seem
to be much practical force In that ob
jection, because the chances are that he
would make rather than lose by the rise
of silver in price by the additional mar
ket that would be open for It."
NIGGARDLY SENATE.
Ohio's legislature kefuscs to Pat the
Expense of Col. Toll's Trial
Columbus, Ohio, March 13. Nearly
all the officers of the Fourteenth regi
ment of state militia tendered their
resignations to Colonel A. H. Colt.
This is the Immediate result of the re
fusal of the senate yesterday to per
mit the expenses of Colonel Colt's trial
for murder to be paid out of the state
treasury.
Colonel Colt refused to accept the1
resignations. The senate today recon
sidered the vote by which the bill was
rejected, and It will be further consid
ered next week. It Is likely that all
the mint la officers of the state will
tender their resignations If the state
refuses to permit this expense. -

Y E N KZULAN COMMISSION.
Regular Meeting Yesterday -The Mem
bers Are Confronted with Moeh Con
flicting Evldsno Already.
Washington, March 13. The Vene
zuelan commission at fts regular meet
ing today with all the members pres
ent, virtually reached the conclusion
that the main points at issue In the dis
pute hinged on documents lying In the
royal archives of Spain and Holland
and perhaps some other countries, and
that while miiii documents would prob
ably be quoted by each of the disputants
In supiKirt of the contradictory claims
presented, the duty would devolve on
the commission not Ito only verify by
actual examination all such citations,
but if practicable, to develop contem
porary documents which might throw
strong side lights upon the evidence
submitted. While dellnlte uctlon was
postponed until the full British and
Venetuelau cases shall have been form
ally brought under consideration there
remains no doubt that some of the com
missioners, or at all events, the secre
tary of the commission, Mr. Malet-Pre-vost,
und agents under his direction,
will soon be sent to Madrid and the
Hague. It Is explained that this de
termination is not due to the alleged
discovery of misquotations in decrees
and treaties already in the commission's
possession, but from the conviction that
the final decision of the commission
ought not io be open to any attack as
to the lncomiiiHlveness of the pivotal
evidence upon which such decision will
In ull probubilty be found to depend. In
the preliminary Investigations of the
commission they have been confronted
with numerous diamdtticaily conlllct
lug maps and translutlons. No one of
the commissioners as yet hud an op
portunity to carefully examine the
British case, as the only available copy
that has learned them was one of the
advance edition sent by Ambassador
Bayard and the state department,
which may contain typographical or
other errors Incident to hasty prepara
tion. . The regular copies for the com
mission will arrive here In all probabil
ity tomorrow evening or Monday next.
While access to a state department
copy has been allowed, there has been
no opportunity to examine It fully.

DEAD MAN DRIVES.
l ifeless Hand Unldi a Team of Horses in
Jerset City.
New York. March 13. While people
were hurrying to work this morning
along West Side avenue, Jersey City,
they noticed a beer wagon, the driver
of which looked ghastly and had a
glaring stare In his eyes. The horses
were on the run, and although the
wagon passed close to other vehicles,
the driver did not make any attempt
to check their speed.
A policeman noticed the strange ap
pearance of the driver and stopped the
team. He found the driver was dead
though sitting upright on his seat. The
driver was Joseph Vlegler. Heart dis

ITALY NOW DESIRES PEACE
Negotiations Opened with tbe King of
Abyssinia.
EXCITEMENT IS SUBSIDING
Results of the Uood Offices of Germany
and Austria F.naland'a Reported
Sympathy with the Drisbund.
Coming Meeting of Rulers.
Home. March 13. Out of the terrible
storm of popular anger which swept
over Italy when the news of the defeat
of the army under (leneral liuratlerl
reached here.llttle remains but a feeling
of resentment against the Italian com
mander. All rioting has ceased, the
members of the army reserve, who fled
from the country sooner than go to
Africa, are returning:, and It is not be
lieved that any steps will be taken to
punish them.
Negotiations with King- Menelek have
been opened. It is expected that peace
will be concluded before long, and the
war office has countermanded the in
structions sent to various points for the
hurrying forward of reinforcements to
Africa. The financial situation also Is
brighter than was supposed.
The conferences which have taken
place here recently between the Mar
quis dl Kudlnl. the new premier, and the
duke of Hermoneta, their audiences with
King Humbert, and the constant ex
change of telegraphic messages between
this city and the tierman capital have
been coincident with the meeting In
Berlin of the Austrian minister for for
eign affairs, Count Ooluchowskl, the
Herman foreign minister. Baron Mar
schall von Blebersteln. the Italian am
bassador to Germany, Count Lanza dl
Buaca, and the imperial chancellor.
Prince Ilohenlohe, supplemented by
audiences with Kmperor William.- Out
of all these exchanges of views, it is be
lieved has grown a much neaitnier
state of affairs for all Europe. The
German emperor is understood to have
been somewhat. If not entirely, wean
ed from his leaning towards closer re
lations with Russia and a possible al
liance of the three emperors, and the
attitude of Oermuny towards Great
Britain Is expected to undergo a chunge
for the better. This is attributed, ac
cording, to report, to a promise from
Great Britain, when the situation was
outlined to her from Berlin, of support
for the Italians, and the actual takinK
of steps to order un advance up the Nile
from Wadl Hulfa towards Dongola of
a strong column of Biitlsh-F.gyptlan
troops. An Italian loan Is also reported
to have received encouragement In Lon-
d0"- M RESTING AT GKXOA.
It Is reported that the emperor of
Germany, the emperor of Austria, and
King Humbert will meet at Genou In a
few days, and that a series of brilliant
fetes will mark this public proof of the
firmness of the lhiebund. It is report
ed, too, tliut a British naval squadron
will be ordered to Genoa upon the oc
casion of the meeting of the emperors
and King Humbert, in order openly to
demonstrate Great Britain's sympathy.
Orders have been sent from the war
office to M4SSOah thar life i.' pirt of
Generals Bitldlssera and Baratlerl on
the defeat of the Italians at Adowa
shall be supplemented by the forward
ing to this city of a number of Impor
tant witnesses or the engagement. It
was at first proposed to court-martlul
General Baratlerl at Massowah. That
plan has not been entirely abandoned,
but General Rlcottl practically hus de
cided to have him tried In public In this
city. There Is still, however, a strong
movement among certain military men
and others to have the trial conducted
In secret, as It is feared that unfortu
nate revelations may be made.
Kecent advices from Africa only tend
to confirm the most alarming reports
as to the extent of the disaster at
Adowa, and although the official figures
have not yet been made public, It is ad
mit ted that more than 12,000 men were
killed, wounded, or made prisoners, and
It is asserted that the loss of the Abys
sinian was ultnoxt us great. General
Baratlerl declares that the disuster,
though unavoidable tinder the circum
stances, was -not due la any desire to
strike u blow before the arrival from
Italy of his successor, General Baldis
snu. Disinterested judges still hold
Unit the real cause for the defeat Is to
be found In the almost unceasing clamor
of certain newspapers of this city nnd
other parts of Italy over the alleged
Inaction of General Baratlerl. Politics
also may have entered Into the situa
tion, for Baratlerl was a recently elect
ed deputy (elected as a mark of public
appreciation of his previous victories
In Africa), and hud formed political
ambitions.
ATTENTION TO CUBA.
Intnre Action of the President Is
Awaited with AnxUtv.
Washing-ton. March 13. The presi
dent Is known to he giving much at
tention to the situation In Cuba. Ho
fur as can be learned nothing has yet
been the outcome of his consideration.
Rumors that an Investigating commis
sion or an army officer have been or
will be sent to Cuba do not find cor
roboration unions: well Informed offic
ials. Several army officers have ap
plied for leave of absence with permis
sion to go to Cuba, but In each of these
cases the permission asked for was re
fused. While It Is not believed at the
war department that any of the offi
cers who made such application desired
to take part In the present hostilities,
It was deemed beat to keep them away
from Havana. There are several rea
sons for this. It was thought that the
Spanish government might be sus
picious of the presence of Cnlted States
army officers In the perturbed section,
and It was feared that the feeling
against this country might lead to Inci
dents in which these army officers
'might be involved, that would be de
tldedly embarrassing to the government
at Washington and Madrid. It Is obvi
ously Impossible that any American
army officers have visited Cuba under
present conditions without his presence
being promptly reported.
In ithls connection It is also learned
that permission to go to Bermuda and
other British fortified ports near the
United States coast has been refused
to Cnlted States army officers since Mr.
Cleveland's Venezuelan message was
sent to congress. The reason for this is
obvious. American officers might be
held in distrust, as person seeking In
formation About British fortifications
and the war department did not pro
pose to take any chances.
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Joseph Pettlt Hits Charles sines on the
Head. Causing Death.
Lafayette. Ind March 13. Fatal re
sults followed a little playful snow
balling this afternoon. Charles Sines
threw a snowball at Joseph Pettit and
then ran. Pettlt threw a piece of pas
ter at Sines, striking him above the
right ear. Sines soon became ill and
died about 3 o'clock,
Doctors say the blow on the head
caused the rupture of a blood vessel.
It was purely an accident, and Pettlt,
who had been arretted, was released.

BIG CANAL SCHEME.
Plans to Connect th. Great Lakes with
th. Atlantis by Way of th. Hudson
Riv.r. ,
Philadelphia, March 13. Among the
Incorporators of the Mars time Canal
company of North America, bills to
charter which have been Introduced In
both branches uf congress, Is John Blrk
Inbine. an engineering expert of this
city, who expresses confidence that the
scheme of a deep water canal from
the great lakes to the ocean will be
pushed to a successful conclusion. The
exact route hus not yet been definitely
agreed upon. The company has a char
ter from the Cunudlan government for
a canal In tliut country, with permis
sion to use and enlarge the Welland
canal. That route would be much
cheaper, but a number of the Incorpora
tors, among: them Mr. Blrklnbine is
referred to have the route of the canal
entirely within the limits of the Culled
States, which would be a great benefit,
especially in case of war.
While the route has not been definite
ly u greed upon, Mr, Birkiubtne says it
will probably leave Luko Krle In the
vicinity of the present canal and then,
golnff around the falls, strike Lake Un
turlo. It may leave tliut lake near Os
wego, or iosslbly go as fur aa the St.
Lawrence river and up that for a short
distance, from where It will run across
the state to I.ake Champlaln and from
there down Into the Hudson. Another
plan runs It partly In Canada and part
ly In New York, while the plan for
plating the canal entirely In Canada,
terminate) it at Montreal.
The proposed canal Is to be twenty
sly 'eet. nep(n,nd 200 fe-t wide.

Havana, Mnrch 11, via. Tamoa, Flu.,
March lX-All of the K.UOti additional
troops sent from Spain since the middle
of February have arrived and been
equipped for service. Most of them arej
now in the held. Some six thousand
are being held in Havana and Its out
skirts as a precaution against disturb
ances in the city. There are sufficient
volunteers here to repel any attack the
Insurgents can make with their lark
of cannon and scarcity of ammunition.
The new troops were better than the
average sent from Spain, and should
give a good account of themselves in
the field.
Nine Important towns have been laid
In ruins, tobucco houses have been
burned nnd a large portion of the great
tobacco district is a waste. The con
centration of troops In Havana province
In the expectation of dealing an efl'eet
Iveblow to Gomez nnd Maceo.left other
provinces without sufliclent protection.
The twp rebel chieftains munuged
to avoid a pitched battle, although the
most elaborate preparations were made
to foice them to fight or surrender,
llomex has been In Mulnnzan province
about two weeks and Maceo has also
been there during the past week. With
their two columns, aggregating some
12,000 men and the column of Lacret
and others, they have effectively pre
vented owners of sugar estates from
obeying the order of tleneral W'eyler to
begin grinding. Cane hus been bunted
from one end of the province to the
other. Buildings and machinery have
not been harmed so far as leurned. In
addition to burning cano, many railroad
culverts and bridges have been totally
destroyed, dynnmlte being used In some
cases.
Half a dozen columns of troops are
having dully skirmishes with the rear
guards, or outposts, of Gomes and Ma
ceo. By the time a sufliclent force of
government troops Is brought up to
make an effective attack, the insurg
ents, being all mounted, move on. They
apparently have sufficient ammunition
for these skirmishes, but have not
enough to make a deckled stand; The
insurgents frequently go Into a fight
wilih from six to eight rounds per man.
After a few volley they are obliged
to retire unless the Spaniards waver, aa
they generally do, unless in force. At
any sign of weakness, the Cubans ride
down on them like so many demons,
yelling "Al machete." When the Span
ish say In their ofliclul reports that they
received llho first charge of the enemy
with the troops In the form of squares
and the second charge In circular
groups, it is pretty plain wunt hap
pened. The insurgents are gaining new- re
cruits dally, but only at "a slow rate,
owl us- to the dllhculty In obtaining
arms. ...
