recourse to the sub-treasury Washington, Dec 12 Representa tive Seth Cobb of Missouri, a Democratic member of the house committee on bunking and currency, is in favor of the repeal of the ten per cent tux on state banks, but is not in favor having the statute repealed uncon- itionally So close does the committee stand on this question that the vote of each iber is considerable a factor WtiUthe six Republicans of the committee there are two Democrats, Chairman Springer and Representative Sperry of Connecticut, who are against reporting any bill Representative Johnson of Ohio will vote to report the bill, but will oppose it on the floor of the house This barely gives the repealers a majority in committee and any one of this majority is enabled to dictate terms Mr Cobb of Missouri has some suggestions which he will insist-u on before he consents to vote in favor of any bill which the majority may formulate This includes safeguards which he thinks will prevent a return to ild-cat money It will make little difference in the state of Missouri, said he, because we have a constitutional provision against state banks and I presume none would be started until after this provision should bo amended Asa Democrat 1 am in favor of the repeal of the ten per cent tax as it is a principal of Democricy that the government has no power to use the taxing power for any other purpose except to raise revenue and it would be a good thing if we could stick close to the idea that taxes should not be laid upon anything to build up or to tear down any business or industry Hut in repealing the ten per cent tax i bank circulation it is the duty of congress to see that the currency is no' allowed to become debased, that every note must be protected and the note holder secured, whether issued in Missouri or New York In the light of past experiences it is believed that most states would see to it themselves that state bank issues were adequately secured and the note holders protected, but it is possible that in the Dakotas, in Nevada and Wyoming or in some oth states where the desire for more money and cheap money has taken such a hold on the people that there would be state bank issues of all kinds and all the country be flooded with bad currency which would have a tendency to discredit all state issues If the repeal should pass unconditionally there could be a great many institutions issuing money, started under the present incorporation laws of the states, and the country flooded with wildcat money before state legislatures could act It is plain to me that in repealing tli's statute that the government must take some such stens as will insure tbe stability of the currency that would be issued in consequence Mr Cobb commented on the wide difference of opinion that existed in the committee on this verv subject of federal supervision of vhe currency issued by states, so many members claiming that the national government had no right whatever to interfere, while otheis holding the same views were yet willing to secure tho repeal of the tax and at the same time protect the currency He thought it not improbably that there might be two or three reports from the committee, and that possiblv a bill would be reported back without recommendation with minority reports presenting different views of the members at tho same time There are several members of the comnfittee who are willing to get almost any kind of the report into the house, trus in to sufficient support to amend theVnll to make the repeal conditional tipjn a final vote SCORED

bomb thrower in custody The miscreant is named Marchal He is also known as Vall- iant lie is an anarchist and has made a full confession He was among the wounded taken to the hospital and had his nOse almost blown off After being hard pressed by the police the prisoner acknowledged his name was Valliant and confessed he had thrown the bomb which, in exploding, wounded nearly a hundred people in the chamber of deputies When questioned as 10 his reasons for attempting to kill so many people, Vaillant replied defiantly I wished to deal a thoroughly dramatic blow at institutions of the country, and ished to cause a great sensation I ndeavered to aim the bomb at Dupuv the president of the chamber deputies I glory in the act, and only regret my hand swerved and at the boinb did not explode near There was so much bitter hatred in the anarchist's tone as he delivered defiance and gloried in his crime that even the public prosecutor started and seemed to grow pale He said the bomb was a little iron- lucepan, which he bought at a bn aar ear the Hotel de Ville The boinb saucepan, when loaded, contained, he said, a number of nails, which you found on the floor of the chamber Inside the saucepan was a tube with a compressed eenter In the tube were picric acid and pru-siate of soda, these being separated at the point where the tube was compressed by a small ball of cotton saturated with sulphuric acid, which at a given moment would be consumed bv the sulphuric acid, thus llowing the picric acid and pru siate to mix ana cause an explosion The officials charged with the investigation of the explosion ascertained that Vaillant has been decidedly mysterious in his movements recently, and that he was out a great deal and rarely spoke to the people in the hotel Vaillant continues to pretend to be utterly indifferent as to the onsequences of his crime, and speaks of it as though it did not concern him in the slightest The ceiling of the chamb of deputies is peppered with nails and small pieces of iron The injured are ail doing well, and it is not believed that will die MORT HAWAIIAN NEWS CH ROES OF BLACKMAIL Geor-H fioit 1 MtiWo Statemnnt Kt ard- sir NiooUuV Suit
