There are yet 1 Your correspondent, has talked with great niimbera of men of various parties and cannot find that there is any foun dation for reports put in circulation by a few Populisms that some Democrats had approached some Republicans with a proposition for a combination. I : There1 has been a eood deal of talk about the new Populist organ here, the Caucasian. The plant of this paper! is now being put in shape in thejnew office. Rev. Biylus Cade, who some years ako was editor of the Progressive Farmer ,f is already employed on the weekly . Cau casian md will no doubt be on the ddiy. Next week there will be a meeting of the stockholders at which the staff of the paper will be chosen. There is hardily any dotUt that Mr. Cade will be tne as sociate editor. Your correspondent made the statement some days ago that bojth Populists and Republicans were taking stock inj this paper, and that Dr. J. (J. Mott, one of the chief Republicans, held stock. Another Republican in an inter view denied that Dr. Mott had taken Btock and intimated that it would injufe the prospects of any Republican aspirant for Senatorial honors if it were knowfn to his prty that he held stock in a Popji list paper. Your correspondent is now prepared to say tljat Dr. Mctt is la stockholder and that all the Republican aspirants for the Senatorship have either taken stiock or signified their intentiqn of so doiDg. The stock in the paper jis now neirly all taken. Popular sub.-crib-tion?, as1 they are termed, are now com ing in. j There; was made to-day a statement by a Republican that there is considerable favor of legislation on the county gov ernment question along the line of ja bill which H. G. Ewart intro duced -in the House in 1887, giving the people in all the counties, save seven, the right to elect magistrates, conimik eiocers, jschool committeemen, etc., and as to thetfcven making these offices afc iointivel as at nrtsant. and not elective. It is claimed that able lawyers eay tht such an I act would ba entirely constitu tional. Something of this sort may be done. I ' Populists declare most positively that There is hot the slightest eign of any rup ture between them and their allies, the Republicans, nor does there now appear to be any good reason for the belief thit thev wifl not continue their fusion duir- ingthe next campaign, ine irupuusia are very bold in their assertions. Tby go so f a- as to say that there are a greit many Democrats who, on the quiet, ate glad of Ithe result of the election; tha? these Democrats are above party arid put good government above all else; bit that these same qmai peopie win waii critically every act of the f usionists, arid while they will not make trouble if things are done rightly, will fight hard jif the Populists make a mistake in legisla tion or otherwise. ! j A particular inquiry was made of some of the leaders as to what would be done in the way of making changes n the personnel of the officers of the vari ous fcJtafe institutions In reply the statb ment wis roada that such changes would be made only for causa. The Populisita are in lome cases"" completely carritjd qqtqv Iw the "non-nartisan" ; idea, ha they term it, and so do Jiot think that partisan! politics should enter into suqh ,,ua that if an official has ! mad the institution partisan it will be equal to malfeasance in office.

Mr. Springer, at a late hour this afternoon .laid before the House! a Btrbstrtute fo? -the-bending . .. . ... T . Currency bui. it consists or toet amena- ments which have been agreed upon by the Democratic members of the com- i - i - mittee, others that were suggested by Secretary ( Carlisle, the author, of the original bill, as well as certain features of the Carlisle bill which it has been deemed advisable to retain. The im portant changes made in the Carlisle bill and their effect were explained by Mr Springer as follows: 1. Permitting the deposit of currency cer tificates issued under section 519,3 of the Revised Statutes, to secure circulation, as well as j the deposit of legaf tender notes actually held in the treasury, and thaeffectj of depositing certificates is, therefore, the same precisely aa to re- uire the deposit of notes. 2. So amending the present law as to mit State banks to deposit legal ten- derVueitr's (arid procure; these ciirrency certificates in the same manner tiat Na tional banks are now permitted tp do. 3. Dispensing with the provisiori which authorizes ; an assessment upon the Na tional banks to replenish the ssfejty fund for the redemption of tl e notes of failed banks and j in place of this provision, in sert one providing that the collection of J per cent tax for each half year hall be resumed when the safety fund is impaired and continued until thei safety fund is restored.: " j 4, Authorizing the Complrollet of the Currency, instead of the banks them selves, to designate the agencies at which National bank notes shall be redeemed. The effect of this will be to secure the redemption, not only at the office of the bank, but other places accessible to note holders. ! J - ! f 5 To dispense with the provision com pelling existing National banks to with draw fcheir bonds now on deposit and take out circulation under the nw sys tem, and, in lieu of that provision, insert one permitting the banks to withdraw their bonds, if they see proper tp do so, by depositing liwful money as now pro vided by law, and then to take Out cir- STEADILY GONTRftGTlNG. ! - - . , : , v,.r i !

R Prnvidinflr that thei National banks which are not redeemed on demand, at the office of the Treasurer of the United States, Or an Assistant Treasurer of the United Statei, shall bear interest at the rate j of 6 pejr cent, per annum, from the date of the suspen sion of the bank until thirty days after public notice has been given that funds are on hand for the redemption. ; This imposes no obligation on the part of the United States to use its own fund for the redemption;, as : the safety fund i3 in the hands'of theTreasurerJand h9 will redeem notes out of the fund It is ' not neces sary to repeal the repealing clause in section 7i as . reconstructed, be cause section 1, as proposed to be amended, repeals all bond requirements as to banks taking out circulation,; under the proposed bill; nor is it necessary in section 7 tojset out how the notesjof ex isting banks shall be redeemed! when lawful money has been deposited, be cause the present law provides tor an that. I I I Inrfegard to the provision making the note3 of failed banks bear interest, it is absolutely Necessary to require thir pre sentation at some place before they begin to bear interest. Otherwise, it is impossible j to frame a clause which would not make alJ of these nots bear interest frm the date of suspension, even though there might be fuhds on hand to pay them There are ten sub treasuries in the United States and th?re will be no jdifficulty in prereritijpg the notes if tbje holder of them i his any doubtlaboit their immediate', redemp tion, and tiius make them bear interest. Increase in Internal Revenue Receipts Over" Same Period of Last Year Value of Battleships Demon strated! The New Hurri cane Signals Movement I off Oar Cruiser s-Im- i port Duty on i , Tobacco. j . Washington, Dec. 21. The treasury has lost in gold withdrawals to-day $1,400,000, leaving , the reserve at the close of business $88,900,000. There wa a large gain from mintage source, else the withdrawals would have decreased the reserve to nearly $88,000,000. - Commissioner Miller, of the internal revenue bureau, reports that the total re ceipts from internal revenue sources j for the first five months of the present fiscal yf$ar aggregate $72,547,551, an increase over the corresponding months of the past fiscal year of $11,212,921. Of the increase, $10,290,000 arises from the in crease of taxes on spirits and the with drawals made to anticipate that increase. The Navy Department has just re- !

Naval officials who have studied the report declare that the Chinese battlrhhips would have easily de feated the Japanese fleet had their crews been well drilled ana naa meir com manders demonstrated that capability. The new hurricane signal which will be displayed at all the weather stations on and after January 1st, will consist of tvo red flags with black centers, shown one above the bther, and will be used to announce the expected approach of tropi cal hurricanes i and also of those ex tremely severe and dangerous storms which occasionally move across the lakes and the Northern Atlantic coast. The flags will be the same aa the one now used for the distinctive storm 6ig nal, the pennants beiDg omitted. No difetinctive night hurricane signal will be displayed, but when this signal is ordered during the day) and is not lowered or changed before dark, the night Btorm signal will be displayed.

Trading at the Stock Exchange to-day was without special feature. The transactions were light in the aggregate, but Sugar figured for 66,900 shares and Reading for 20,000. The market was irregular in its course, but the fact that the heavy engagement of gold for shipment to Europe on Sat urday did not lead to liquidations en couraged those operating for higher prices. Washington news was also con sidered favorable, it being stated that there would be no tariff legislation this session and that there can be no tinker ing with the finances for soma time to come.
