NEW TREASURY BUREAU. The bill provides for the establish ment of a division of issue and re demption in the treasury department, whose operations shall be confined to the redemption abd exchanging of the several kinds of money. The secretary of the treasury is au thorized to issue and to sell 3 per cent. bonds, redeemable in twenty years or one year after issue at option, for the (maintenance of the gold reserve. SILVER COINAGE. 0 The secretary is aJTso authorized o use any silver 'bullion in the treasury for the coinage of such subsidiary sil ver as necessary to meet public require ments,' and to redeem and reissue all worn and utaeurrent subsidiary coin and reimburse the treasury for the difference between the face value and the amounf the old coin will produce in the new. The secretary of the treasury is em powered to issue or reissue treasury notes of such denomtoations as he may prescribe. AS TO THE BANKS. Banking associations are required to transfer registered' government bonds to' the treasury as security for circulat ing notes to an amoutet equal' to one fourth capital, where the capital is $150,000 or less, and $50,000 where the capital is more. Banking associations are required to pay in addition the tax imposed for war purposes each half year a tax of one-tenth of 1 per (cent. upon the value of their franchise. Section ten of the bill amends the revised statutes so, as to provide that no association shall be organized With less than $100,000 capital except in places where the population is ux thousand or less.

The report states it was the opinion that the most , urgent subject was the question of monetary standard and a provision for its maintenance. The strengthening of the- 'puWic credit by the removal of all doubt concerning the (policy) and. practice of the government relative to the unit of Value is of para mount? imptortatoce. r b. , READY FOR GOLD STANDARD. uch are thWgerieral conditions of trade,' the report continues as well as the condition of the national treasury, that -no disturbance whatever cata pos sibly be caused by the legislation! pro tposedl. - The net gold in the treasury on the 2d diy of I October, ,1899; was $254,T 328,820 .v There is 'more i gold- in. , the ;Umttal:es?nkw thanever befor Present coitions are most favorable and' the time is Jmosiil opportune-far a cieaTteuniversaltadOptton .the gold stajidard:pf;l undertneser ;circum- stajnces the; United. taxes suu j yjthe'ko fltandaTd; it win pass to the new tjobdition ; with- les friction than was experienced by the resumption of specie payment.

He made the only touchdown of the gainie in the first half, and then kicked the goal from a rather difficult angel.- Every boy on the team played well. Bingham played well, too, but seemed to be outclassed, although the weight was about equal. Twenty-minute halves were played. Binerham did not have the ball in the second half, and' when time was called the ball was near their goal. They had considerable, trouble breaking, up Ash ville's line while Asheville wen; through their liioe almost at will for steady gains. The teams will probably play another game next week. LIEUT WILLIAMS BURIED. Services Were of a Very Imposing Character. The funeral services over the body of Lieutenant Williams were conducted yesterday .afternoon.

The Public Asked to Remember the Institntion Tomorrow. ; The custom of sending gifts of mion- ey, provisions and supplies of all kinds to the Mission hospital on Thanksgiv ing Day is so fully established that the people of Asheville need only be re minded as the season approaches that the necessities of that institutliota are greater than ever before, the number of charity patients having already ex ceeded thiat of the whole of last year. The coming winter with the attend ant expenses of fuel," etc., makes it necessary that those interested in this work shall remember the hospital promptly and liberally..

The censorship md a broken cable have reduced to day's news from South Africa to a minimum, brief official despatches be ing practically the sole transmissions for many hours. A despatch from General Buller' to day, under date of Pletermaritzburg, November 28, announcing the latest news from Lady Smith, reported all well there on' the 24th, is naturally re ceived with satisfaction, but his de-' spatch is tantalizingly meager. GIT ACRE'S ADVANCE. General Gitacre's . movements are barely illuminated by the statement that he has occupied Bushman's Nek, but it is hardly supposed he is yet in position to take the offensive. A full official list of the British cas utaties at Belmont has not yet been re ceived, and is awaited with uneasiness. It is f eared Jt wfli exceed -the . first es timate. The estimated loss at Belniflat; with 195 casualties at Gras Pan, brings the total number of British killed, wounded and missing since the war be gan up to 2,945. Orange River,- Nov. 27.
