questions seemed to cause most confusion in the minds of the members of the house committee on banking and currency, which had Secretary Gage on the witness stand yesterday in relation to his financial bill whic-h was before the committee. The first of these was as to how those people who needed gold for their legitimate business would be able to get it if the treasury absorbed the whole, or nearly the whole, of the volume of notes now redeemable in gold at the demand of the holder. Brosius especially pressed this point in. a series of questions on the ground that if the people could not get gold to pay their foreign balances, for instance, all American trade would go to a silver basis. "The people," answered the secretary, "couldgo to the banks and demand lawful money of the: United States in exchange for bank notes.

If any bank refused to redeem its notes, the government Would simply seize the bank's assets and sell them and do the redeeming itself." Uoesn't Seem to Know. "But lawful money includes both gold and silver, and I am supposing that the people wanted only gold," argued Brosius. "Now, would the note holder who obtains silver be able to present this at the treasury and demand gold in exchange for it?" "Certainly." answered the secretary, "but whether the treasury would be able to give gold in exchange is another matter. That would depend much on the load obligations it was already carrying. It is for that reason that my bill proposes to relieve that lead by at least The at least of silver which it must still kpfp at parity with gold, even if the provisions of my bill are adopted, are enough to keep it busy." This discussion led by natural stages to the consideration of the second how the secretary proposed to make the segregation of 4200,000,000 of gold-bearing paper have any considerable effect in view of the fact tHat by his own estimates there are of demand obligations in various form outstanding, for which the treasury is liable to be called upon to give gold in exchange.

1 His Theory In Full. The secretary accordingly made a full explanation of his theory: "Set down $930,000,000 as our total volume of outstanding currency exchangeable for gold, and therefore liable to cause annoyance to the treasury. Deduct $50,000,000. which we keep as a working balance for the daily transactions in the treasury, and it leaves Next deduct the amount of lawful money which we require the banks to keep in the treasury for the redemption of their notes. This is now a matter of but under my bill it would be 10 per cent, on $500,000,000, making $50,000,000 to take care of.

Throw out another $10.000,000 for currency which has been lost or destroyed, and we get down to $520.000,000. Ketail Trade Requires "Retire $200.000,000, as provided under committee. Hanna of Ohio, alter an illness of a week, appeared In the senate and was cordially greeted by his colleagues. Little business was done, each of the above-mentioned events except the appearance of Hanna, giving rise to a number of speeches. Cannon of Utah offered and had passed a resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to furnish the senate the names of the revenue cutters employed On the coast of Florida to prevent filibustering; how many such expeditions were thwarted; what vessels were captured: what armed expeditions were taken; and by what authority of law the secretary of the treasury acted in the matter.

The house passed bill appropriating $175,000 for the relief of the people who are in the Yukon river country and also the bill passed by the senate to prohibit pelagic sealing; by American citizens. Th; former bill encountered practically no opposition. The bill to prohibit pelagic sealing was warmly antagonized by Johnson of North Dakota, Loud of California. Hepburn and others, and in the course of the debate there was some exceedingly caustic criticisms of the course of our Behring sea negotiations, past and present. While the bill to prohibit pelagic seal- ng was up Hitt said our government did not admit that pelagic sealing was a right; it was a barbarity.

We were upon Great Britain a negotia- iou for the protection fthe seals that three governments had already agreed to. If we Were sincere we should pass htis measure. Johnson argued that the effect of this bill and the negotiations now being conducted would be the- bolstering up of two great British industries, one in the Ijfehring sea the other in London. The present herd was not worth protecting. The purpose was to build up a new herd.

He declared that Canada would be willing to join with us In prohibiting pelagic sealing on condition that we should allow her to write our tariff laws. Johnson said we had been humiliated and shamed by the complete surrender of our rights and honor at the Paris tribunal. He was particularly sarcastic In his references to Hon. John W. Foster, whom he termed "the.

great surren- derer." So great was his reputation in this line, he said, that China had paid him 5100,000 for surrendering to Japan.

Terriss. the actor, was assassinated last night as he was stepping from his cab across the pavement to the theatre. The assassin used a knife and stabbed Terriss just below the heart. Terriss fell, shouting: "Jly God! He's stabbed me! Don't let him escape!" The assassin withdrew the dagger and made a second plunge at his victim, but he was seized by the spectators, of whom there is always a crowd about the stage entrance to witness the arrival of the actors. Terriss was placed on the landing of the stairway inside the tneatre.

His-name was given as Archer. It.Is. said.that been a. "super" at the Adelphi theatre several years ago. and for some days past he has haunted the theatre.

A large audience had already assembled for the evening performance, and the manager came to the footlights and announced that as Terriss had met with an accident no performance would be given. It appears that the assassin Wednesday evening asked the keeper of the stage entrance as to the whereabouts of Terriss, and his behavior was then so obnoxious that Harry Nichols, one of the principal colleaugues of Terriss, was obliged to remonstrate and to or- POWDER vAi luucmo WWDER co. new PUBLISHER DEFIES A JUDGE tion, described the destruction of food det nim t( 3 leave the premises. fish by the seals. If these wolves of the sea had been completely exterminated, he said, we would be sending relief to the miners in Alaska.

Each seal required ten pounds of fish a day. Hepburn expressed the opinion that we had the power at any time to compel Canada to adjust this whole question as to the seals. Pelagic sealing was not worth more tlian per annum. The bonding privilege granted to Canadian roads over which we had absolute control was worth twenty times as much to Canada as the right of pelagic He advocated retaliation as thn weapon to be used to bring Canada to terms, and said he could not understand why it had not already been employed.

my bill, and you have only $620,000,000 to care for. Now prohibit the issue of any national bank notes of a smaller denomination than $10, so as to give the government a monopoly of the money employed in the domestic trade of the people, and as it is now we find that the popular retail trade seems to absorb about $346,000,000 of notes of denominations under $10, besides $32,000,000 of silver dollars. In other words, about $400,800.000 are now performing the functions of hand-to-lmnd trade in this country.

By that time the special editions of the evening papers were out and the newsboys were shouting around the theatre exits that Terriss had been murMer'ed. At first the peopile refused to place any credence in the report, but when they found it true horror and indignation were generally expressed. When Archer arrived at the police station, he still held the weapon, apparently a big butcher knife, concealed beneath his cape. On being charged with murder he is reported to have replied: "He's done me out of the benevolent fund this morning and I am out of It for life." The murderer was placed in a cell and is under a special watch. Foretold In an Actov's Dream.

The understudy of the deceased actor tells a curious story of how Wednesday- night he dreamed that he saw Terriss lying on a landing surrounded by a crowd, and raving. He says: "I told my colleagues this morning and could not get the horrible dream off my mind the whole day. Judge of my horror on arriving at the theatre tonight, just as the deed was perpetrated. I believe that but for the poilce the crowd would have lynched Archer." Another member of the Adelphi company gays the assassin was known at the theatre as "Mad Archer," and that when ordered or the premises last night he muttered "Not yet." Assassin Had a Common Grievance. Others say that Archer nursed a grievance against Terriss even before he left hisi employment-at the theatre.

More than once he stood in the wings and indulged in sarcastic comments on Terriss' acting, such as "Fools often succeed in life where men of fail." The assassin made no attempt to escape. When seized he offered to go quietly to the police station. Miss Millward, when it was seen that Terrias was dying, competely broke down with grief. William Terriss was born in London, Oct. IS, 1S51, and came of an excellent family.

His father was a Kentish county gentleman and his mother, a sister of the celebrated historian of Greece, the late George Grote. Terriss was a nom de theatre, the real name of the deceased actor being William Lewin. They Had All Passed That Coin. Great Falls, Dec. it proves genuine the last missing coin of the United States dollar issue of 1S04 I has been discovered in northern Montana.

Billy Seymour, a bartender at Choteau. found an odd-looking dollar in counting the cash a few days ago. The following day he exhibited it to several friends, among whom was one who recognized it as a dollar of 1S04. In a short time every man who had passed a dollar over Seymour's bar that day called to claim the dollar, having "passed it by mistake." G. A.

B. National Encampment; Cincinnati. Dec. date for the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was fixed late yesterday afternoon for the week beginning Sept. 5.

To come to this conclusion it required a long conference. The loca! committee some time ago had recommended the week 2S to Sept. 3. This met opposition on the ground that it would just before pension payment in Ohio and several other states. It also was objectionable because it lapped over from one month to the other.

Honor's Action To Be Resisted. Omaha, Dec. 17. On Wednesday 3'udge Keyser, of the district court, is- lued an injunction which forbade The World-Herald publishing or referring to a resolution of the license board passed Kov 29, announcing the determination of the. board to be governed in granting licenses a former finding of the board that The World-Herald was paper of the largest circulation in Douglas county.

It also enjoined the agents of the paper from soliciting such adver- lisemeiv.3. World-Herald was not a party 10 the injunction proceedings, but Gilbert M. Hitchcock, publisher of the paper, was served with the order. He publishes an open letter to Judge Keyser in The World-Herald from which the following is taken: "I consider this to be an attempt to abridge the liberty of the press. 1 believe it to be lawless.

I believe it to be malicious. I shall resist it by all lawful means in. my power, and notify you that The World-Herald is one Institution of the country which will not be run by injunction." In order to put the matter to the test the publisher therefore published the proscribed matter in the same article, calling attention to the fact. As soon as the court opened yesterday morning it issued an order citing Hitchcock to appear and show cause why he should not be punished for The case is set for hearing jtomorrow morning.
