2 BILL FIXES THE GOLD STANDARD Provides for Selling Bonds to Maintain Reserve, NO TAX ON CIRCULATION THAT ON ISSFE OF NATIONAL HANKS HOP FA LEI). WAY ISSUE TO PAR WITH BONDS HELD Naf'onal Banks May Be Creranized With a Capital of Twenty-five Thousand Dol lars in Towns of Two Thous and Inhabitants. Washington. Nov. 28.—Copies of the bill and report prepared by the Republi ean canons committee, met at Atlantic City last spring, were mailed this evening to the Republican members of the House. The purpose of the bill is to remove any doubt that may exist as to the character of the standard. It contains a number of distinct proposi tions. 1. The standard unit of value shall be the gold dollar. 2. United States bonds. United States notes ami Treasury notes, shall lie paid in gold, and all other public and private obligations shall be paid in con formity with the standard. * 3. The establishment of a division of issues and redemption in the Treasury to separate the note issue from the fis cal operations of the department and the creation of a gold reserve equal to twenty-five per cent, of the outstanding United States notes and Treasury notes. 4. The sale of 2 per cent, gold bonds to maintain the gold reserve. A. Hold coin may be exchanged for any other money, when necessary to maintain the parity, and United States notes and Treasury notes redeemed in gold shall not be disbursed except in ex change for gold. 0. Subsidiary silver may be coined from any silver bullion purchased under the act of July 14th, 18!MI, and Treasury notes equal to the cost of the bullion contained in such coin shall he win celled. 7. All worn and uncurrent subsidiary silver coin may be re-coined. 8. Silver certificates shall he limited in denominations to .sl. .$2. and $5. 0. National hanks may issue circula tion to the value of the bonds deposit ed by them. 10. The tax on national bank circu lation is repealed and a tax of one fifth of one per cent, per annum is placed upon the franchise of the banks as measured by their capital, surplus and undivided profits. 11. National banks may lie organised tilth a capital of twenty-five thousand dollars in towns of two thousand in habitants. The fact is pointed out that the Treas ury tat the beginning of October had a aaet gold reserve of more than $250,- 000,000, that there <is more gold in the United States now than ever 'before and that the present comMtions are most fa vorable, and the time most opportune, for the clear and l unequivocal adoption of the gold standard. If under all existing conditions the United States shall dear ly. by law. adopt the gold’standard, it will pass to the new condition with even les« friction than was experienced by the redemption of specie payments. The medhanism of the new division of issues and redemption is explained and it is declared that the different funds referred to such a division, as they stood on September last, 'are as follows: 1— Gold coin and bullion, (represented bv outstanding gold c< rtifie.t'es. $133,- 501,119. 2 United States notes, represented by outstanding currency certificates $1(5,- 100,000. 3 Silver dollars, represented by out standing silver certificates, $405,197,504. 4 Silver bullion, represented by out standing Treasury notes, $91,107,280. 5 Gold coin and bunion, equal to one fourth of the United cites notes <840.- 081.010) 'and Treasury notes ($91,107.- 280) outstanding, $109,402,074. The first four items enumerate the spe cial deposits dedicated to specific pay ments. As these obligations aTe met, the deposits are correspondingly reduced. The scope and purposes of the provi skms for maintaining the standard by the sale of bands and the exchange of money are thus set forth by Mr. Over street : “Ira the absence of a law providing protection to tin* gold reserve, it is al ways subject to encroachment in expen ditures to meet the general expenses of the Government. Whenever such en croachment appears probable, a fear lias arisen that the Government may not be able to meet its demand obligations, and * a run upon the reserve for the redemp tion of the demand notes has followed. This situation is responsible for the so called endless’chain.” By separating the reserve fund from the general fund and prohibiting its use except for redemption of United States notes and Treasury notes, the dangers to which it has been so greatly subjected will lie removed. These demand notes are being redeemed in gold now, and always ihiave been, and no additional burden is imposed upon the Government. It is sought to simplify and legalize the practice, and create a division in five treasury where the whole business of issuing apd redeeming notes may be transacted, and to establish corai'- plcte confidence in the redemption of our demand obligations. Section 4 of the bill seeks to provide a complete safeguard to guarantee the ivormanlent maintenance of the gold ■standard, by 'authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury whenever if is necessary for such maintenance to issue and sell Imnds of the United States, payable in gold coin, and for the exchange of gold <-ovn for any other money issued or coin ed b.v # the United States, should the Sec retary of the Treasury deem such ex change necessary in order to maintain the parity and eon cl value of all the money pf tlic United States. VICTORY DEARLY BOUGHT. British losses at Gras Pan One Hun dred and Ninety-eight. London, Nov. 28. —A dispatch has been received here from General Haller, giving a list of the casualties among the troops engaged in what was hither to known here as the battle of Gras Pan, but which is now officially desig nated the Battle of Enslin. It proves, as anticipated that the British success was heavily bought. The losses an nounced today added to the naval brig ade casualties, previously notified, make a grand total of 198 as the cost of General* Methuen's second battle. The Yorkshires, aparently. bore with the naval brigade the brunt of the fighting, as there were, in addition to three offi cers. forty-eight of the rank and file killed, wounded and missing. The fact that the list contains tin* casualties of the Ninth Lancers seems to dispose of the fears that the cavalry was surround ed and captured, especially as one of the lancers is reported missing. General Buller’s list of the casualties shows among the wounded of the Sec ond Yorkshire light infantry were Cap tain C. A. Young. Lieutenant 11. C. Fernyhough and Lieutenant C. H. Ack royd. The casualties among the non missioned officers and men Os the va rious regiments engaged were: Killed. 10: wounded. 71: missing. 9. The War Office has received the fol lowing dispatch from General Buller dated Pietermaritzburg, Natal, Novem ber 28tli: “Our last news from Ladysmith, No vember 24th. said all well.

Health of troops good. ‘“Six wounded Dublin Fusiliers captur ed on armored train south of Colenso sent here today.” A BRILLIANT VICTORY. Orange River, Novemiber 27th —{Mon- day)—The British arms have achieved a brilliant victory. The enemy strong ly entrenched, held a range of hills com manding both sides of the railway at Rooi Laagte. near Gras Fan. The Lnncashires, under Lewis, reeonnoifeml in an armored train on Friday. The Boers shelled the train, killing Lewis and a private. General Methuen then advanced. His column made a detour and bivouacked for the night at Swinks Pan. three miles from the Boer position. At dawn the advance began, the guards forming tin* reserve. The column de bouched on the plain eastward of the Boer kopjes. The Boer guns opened fire. Two batteries of British artillery, posted on /-each side, shelled the Boers, practice being good on both sides. The Boers stuck tenaciously to their positions, firing steadily and accurately. The duel, which constantly became hot ter, lasted three hours. The Boer shells wounded several fen of tin* naval brig ade. Finding it iniposslible to displace tin* Roers by artillery. General Methft?n re solved upon an infantry attack. A brig ade of infantry, including the York shires, the Northampton*, the Norili um her lands and tin* Lancashire.*, with the naval brigade on the right gallantly stormed the Boer positions, in the face of a withering fire, and carried hill after bill, the bi igade -md *r eoh nel Money capturing the main .position against a terrific fin* and suffering severely. Many of the Boors voluntarily sur rendered. "The Boers were shelled during the final retreat and must have lost heavily, hut they succeeded in getting away northward with their six guns. The British were badly in need of more cavalry. The bulk of the fighting was on Free State territory and the engagement was admirably planned. Thirty Boer wound ed are under treatment here. CRONJE MARCHES SOUTH. London, Nov. 28.—General Forestier- Walker has sent the following dispatch dated Cape Town today, to the \i ar Office: “Native reports to Kekewieh state that the enemy’s camps to the south or Kitnberley have been vacated and that Cronje with 3,000 Boers, is marching to the south. The Boers are congregating in the vicinity of Kimberley. The enemy seems restless. "Later—Gataere occupied Bushman’s hook yesterday with a battalion of in fantry. His main body is at Putter's Kraal. The enemy retired toward Mol teno.” TO STRIKE VIGOROUS BLOWS. Berlin, Nov. 28.—The Deutsche Zeit ung publishes the following dispatch dated Pretoria. November 27th. receiv ing it through Boer diplomatic channels: “President Kruger and President Steyn have instructed General .Toubert and General Grange not to split their forces into small detachments*, but to strike vigorous blows. General Joubert has three corps, one holding Ladysmith, the second commanding the Tugela', and the third east of Estcourt, in order to cut off the British retreat. General Cronje’s forces arc* divided into three contingents, one at Kimberley, another at Modeler River and the third in the rear of General Methuen.” Schooner in Distress.

Washington, Nov. 28.—The proposition of ejt-Senator Call for an investigation into the charges he has made relating to the manner in which Senator-elect Taliaferro, of Florida was elected, is net apt to lie favorably considered by the Industrial Commission. He lias re ceived little encouragement from the commission that that matter would be considered by them, as there is a gen eral feeling that such a case can proper -Ily be considered only by the Senate. THB NEWS AND OBSERVER. AVEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20. 1809. Views and Interviews. Capl. J. W. Todd, of Ashe county, who has frequently been in Raleigh as State Senator and representative from Ashe, is attending’ the Supreme court. * - I live in the finest county in the State.” he said, “though you folks down east do not seem to know it. We have the finest grass and cattle, the host climate, and the best folks, and county is going for ward in every way. Important mineral trades that mean wealth have been made find we are politically alright, too. In 1898 avc redeemed the county electing Dr. It. E. Reeves, one of our ltest men. to (he House. He took his place among the safest legislators and Ashe county .is proud of his record. The white people of Ashe are tired of having a horde of unfit, negroes killing their votes, and will give a majority for the Constitu tional Amendment. They have a keen recollection of the methods of voting un der C'anby when the negro was given the ballot, and are ready to undo that work its far as they legally can do so.” (’apt. Todd, then it young man, was in Raleigh to get his license to practice law. when the Constitutional Convention of 18(18 was organized, and he recollects some incidents of that occasion that show the rottenness that then prevailed. He has promised to write his recollections for early publication in this paper. “Marion is growing right along, said E. .1. Justice, Esq., member of tin* House from McDowell, who is attending the Supreme court. “If you could separate the town 1 as it. was before 1894 —put that on one side of fin avenue and put tne part built since IBit4 on the other side you would have the biggest part of the town Oil the side built since 1894. The growth has been steady and solid, and we believe is but fin earnest of the growth that the next few years will wit ness.” “Ours is a cattle country you know,” said Governor Rufus A v Doughton. of Alleghany, last night, “and the high price of cattle has been of great bene fit to our section. Lust week a gentle man living six miles from Sparta sold ft mine to outside capitalists for slj,ooo. There is much activity in all lines in Alleghany and our county is going for ward as well as any like county in the State.” Governor Doughton is looking well. He bit s many warm friends in Raleigh, having as representative from Alleghany. Speaker of the House and President of the Senate been much in the city. He is one of the State’s wisest men and a Democrat of Democrats. He says Alleghany is Safe for the Constitu tional Amendment by the usual major ity and says the Democrats in North western North Carolina are in fine fight ing trim for 1900. He also says that the Republican officeholders have been particularly active since the Statesville blow-out and are Avorking desperately to organize their forces against the amendment. He thinks there are many Republicans who are in favor of the amendment but looks to spe most of them fall in line and vote with their party against it when tin* time comes. As to national polities he believes thar with Democratic unity the victory over McKinley will be certain. He added: “The people whopi I have seen almost to a matt are opposed to the new policy of -imperialism.’'' Sparks from the Wire. Two jurors were secured yesterday for the trial of Molineux.

Congressman-elect John W. Atwater was here yesterday. lie left on the af ternoon train for his home in Chatham county to spend Thanksgiving. On Fri day he will start to Washington to be present at the opening of Congress. “And when it does open.” lie said. “1 shall protest, if Congressman-elect Rob erts, of Utah comes there, to his taking his seat. “In fact,” he added. “I shall protest sooner than that. 1 shall object to his taking the oath.” “On what ground?” I asked. "Oh. on general principles. He's a polygamist. That’s enough. From my youth up I’ve been a believer in the principle laid down by Jefferson: Equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Roberts is enjoying some special privileges in tin* way of having more than one wife, and I'm like the Irishman was by thi‘ government. ‘l’m agi'n ’ini-’ ” Congressman Atwater, though he once was ft middle-of-the-road Populist an nounced immediately after his election that he would go into the Democralic caucus and affiliate with that party. As to Congressman. Roberts, it is sairt that the procedure will he against the State ol‘ Utah instead of against Rob erts personally, and that the question to be decided will lie whether Utah has by the violation of her compact with the United States not to permit polyg amy forfeited her right to representa tion in Congress. The enabling act through which Utah was admitted as a State made a condition precedent that polygamy should forever be prohibited in tlte State. The. intention is to have the judiciary committee make an in vestigation of the matter. No Uprising Feared. Washington. Nov. 28.—Nothing is known here in official circles to warrant the published j>redietions to the effect that an uprising on a large scale is set for Thanksgiving day in Cuba, directed against the Americans.

The story is ascribed here to discontented members of the late Cuban war party. USED BY BRITISH SOLDIERS IN AFRICA. Capt. C. G.
