The Baptist university, at Sioux Falls. S. from which institution the pupils all walked out a few days ago, is in a peculiar position. The trustees refuse to remove the president and the Payable, Principal and Interest, in Gold, to Rffund tlie Debt and Ketire the and Treasury Government to Go Entirely Out of the Banking to Currency as to the Cnlon Pacific Sale. Washington, of the Treasury Gage read to the president and the cabinet the recommendations as to financial legislation which he will make to congress in his annual report.

He proposes to strike at the root of all the difficulties that have embarrassed the treasury during the last few years by recommending- that the country be put unequivocally upon the gold basis, and that the treasury be taken out of the banking business. Such radical lalation as he proposes may be im- posMble to secure, but if his advice, is not followed he will throw upon congress the responsibility for refusing to correct the defects of the present rency system. Keynote of the Flan. The keynote of the secretary's scheme 3 the refunding of the present bonded debt: of the country in gold bonds bear- per cent, interest. He- believes that bonds which declare on their face that they are payable, and interest, in gold, can eas'Hy be sold at that rate.

As most of the present bonded debt of the.country bears interest at 4 and 5 per the annual saving in interest by refunding would be about 000,000. This would more than pay the interest on the J26p.000.000 additional per cent, gold bonds which would have to be issued to carry out the second feature of the secretary's plan, which Is the retirement of all the outstanding greenbacks and Sherman notes, so as to leave no notes whatever outstanding which could be used to drain the treasury of gold. How Would Supply Currency. With the retirement of the Sherman notes the government would be left with silver bullion in the treasury vaults purchased under the Sherman law at a cost of $104,000,000. This could either be sold at the market price of silver or it could gradually be coined into silver dollars to the amount of $125,000,000.

To take the place of the currency Secretary Gage will propose that the banks be allowed to issue notes up to the par value of the government bonds deposited by them and he believes that practically all of the additional bonds wouid.be issued to retire the government notes would be absorbed by the banks as basis for circulation. He will also propose something on the line, of the so-called Baltimore plan, whereby banks will be allowed to Issue additional circulation, probably up to 25 per cent, of their capital stock, ample provision being made for its security. Circulation in Free Silver States. He will ulso' recommend that the tax on, national: bank circulation be reduced to just enough to cover the expense administering the law and supervising the banks. In order to give increased circulation to the southern states and other localities in- which the silver movement gained strength chiefly on the ground that more currency was needed for transacting the business of the country, the secretary will recommend" that national banka be permitted to organize with $25,000 capital.

It is believed, that such a provision, coupled with proper safeguards to protect circulation, would give to these communities a safe and somewhat elastic currency which could be put out by the local banks as it would be needed for moving the crops or meeting any other demand for money.

event of yesterday at the state department was the receipt of the long-expected cablegram from United States Minister Woodford at Madrid transmitting the reply oiT the Spanish government to his representations in the interest of Peace in Cuba. This message began to come in installments at 2 o'clock Tuesday r.ight and it was nearly noon yesterday before it was all in hand at the state department. It was not the length of the message that occupied the wires all of that time, but the fact that it was all in groups of figures, and that it was probably being filed in small batches aa It -was turned into the complicated state department cipher in Madrid. All of this work had to be undone at the state department, and the message translated from the cipher back again into good English. This occupied nearly all of the day, so that it was half-past 3 o'clock before the first fair copy of the message was turned out.

From unofficial information that has reached, certain administration officials in advance of this message of Woodford as to the nature of the Spanish reply it Is evident that In neither language nor subject matter is the communication likely to be taken as offensive by our It may be, it is true, regarded as insufficient to meet the issue presented by Woodford in hia note, but officials of the state department say that in view of what has already been accomplished by the new Spanish cabinet in reforming abuses in Cuba, in remov- hg Weyler, and in projecting- what appears to be a liberal pleasure of autonomy, our government will certainly least until congress and afford the new Spanish government a reasonable time to carry out its plans.

"Washington, Oct. General McKenna fully confirmed the heretofore made in these dis- patchea as to the recent offer of the reorganization committee and its acceptance by the government, by which the full amount of the government's claim against the main line of the Union. Pacific road, principal and interest, is guaranteed. This amount is something in excess of $58,000,000 and includes outstanding government bonds issued in aid the road to the amount of $19,076,512. Of this sum $15,919,512 becomes due on Jan.

1, 189S, and $3,157,000 on Jan. 1, 1899. Whether or not the reorganization's original bid of JaO.000,000 holds goods to a proportionate snare as to the Kansas Pacific road is an open question. The roasior in chancery fixed this amount at approximately $5,000.000, and the contention undoubtedly will be that the guarantee offer as to this amount holds good. This question, however, is regarded aa of little or no consequence, as it is con- fidertly expected that at the Kansas Pacific no doubt will take place on Dec.

reorganization committee wiil bid up to the full amount of the government's claim ar.d the first mortgage bonds. Its interests, it is said, would compel it to do this. If by any chance, however, the committee's bid should fall short of the full amount of the government's claim it is almost certain that the government itself, acting under the authority conferred by the act of 1SS7, will be prepared to bid in the property. Xo such contingency, is stated, is likely to arise, and the statement is made from high official sources that the net result of the with the reorganization committee will undoubtedly be the realization of the full amount of government's claim against both the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific Tht neit move of the government toward a final settlement of the whole railroad Gives $130,000 to Charities and $1,200,000 for a Freo Training SchooL Chicagro, Oct. will of the late Geo.

The validity of the organization of the Illinois Steel company was fiercely attacked in the United States court yesterday. It wan asserted that not only is the company not a citizen of the state of Illinois but that it is the illegal outgrowth of two other corporations, which are also alleged to have been illegally incorporated. Attorney Rublee A. Cole raised the question tn the trial of the first of tie iviction suits filed by the ateel company against Jones island residents. The steel company was formed in 1889 by the consolidation of the North Chicago Rolling- Mill company and the Union Steel company.

It is contended by that the organization of these two corporations was in violation of the revised statutes of Illinois and it was further asserted that the consolidation ol he two companies was illegal. Another State-National Club. Des Moines. Oct. Judge Spurrier, of the United States district court, who had cited the state board of elections to appear and show why they are not in contempt of his court, was last night served with a notice of a stay of proceedings issued by the state supreme court pending- the determination of the question involved by the higher court.

He said he would consider the matter, but intimated that he may hold that the supreme court cannot supersede the district court in summary proceedings. Methodist in Council. Baltimore, Oct.

If It IK That Oanted UX Xew York Central Horror. Cold Springs, N. Oct. Depew's opinion that the dliaatcr of last Sunday morning on the York Central railway was the result of 4 dynamite explosion planned by enemies of the corporation finds many upholders among railway officials and familiar with the conditions. "If the embankment of the railroad was torn up by dynamite -the motive of those who did it was not robbery but revenge," was the statement made by one official of the road yesterday.

"When the party of twenty-six roadmasters of the New York Central system arrived at the scene early Monday morning- and corr- menced a critical survey of the section of the embankment which had washed or blown out, one of Oie roadmasters, a man who had great experience in the use of dynamite, (said that the excavation looked to him very Biuch like the rrork of dynamite. "The tendency of dynamite Is to blast downward rather than upward or outward, and one of the most, expert track builders of the railroad says that a very light charge of dynamite would have collapsed a section of track fully as extensive as tiie-aecttoti in question. The locomotive was found In the river at least thirty feet south of the depression in the track, which makes it seem reasonably certain that the engine leaped the space before it started in its plunge into the bottom of the river." General Manager Toucey said: "I believe something broke on the engine and ploughed up the ground and jarred the road bed so that it loosened and slid into the river." TRUE STORY OF THE SHOOTING.
