When the Banking and Currency
. Committee finished its session, Coxej
- entered the room and introduced ' him
self to the cltairman, . Mr. Walker, oi
Massachusetts. . The latter greeted Mr.
: Coxey pleasantly, .The leader; of tht
commonweal movement then stated tin
purpose of his-call, which was tofurnisl,
. Mr. Walker a copy of the pamphlet
and make clear the non-interest bona
scheme. : - '".-.' ;;y.
. . Mr, Walker asked a few questions foi
information, and tt the close of their
"ef interview," promised that tht
pamphlet should be submitted to the
full committee with the other data which
' is now being accumulated. Mr. , Coxey
expressed bis gratification at Mr. Walk
er's courtesy, y' . ' '
The public comfort committee for tht
inauguration met a.t general headquar-
(erst'Qlover building, and mapped out
fys work for the interesting week which
(loses on Marob i, 1897,
: This committee is composed of ninety
members, and is one of the most Impor-
1 tant on the list of committees. ' It has
practically the reputation of the city in
its keeping, at least so far as it is to bt
reflected in the eyes of the visitors.
The public comfort Cororflitteehas in
- ftWB9 (l)e maHeT of obtaining suitable
' flUarters for visitors. Blanks have been
prepared which, when filled, will make i
1 directory of the hotels, boarding - houset
and private bouses at which guests will
be accommodated.
- The members of the committee will bt
'- divided when the rush begins into a da)
. force and a ngl)( force, so that all in
SAtning trains may be attended and
visitors directed or escorted to their se
lected places. From what, was stated ol
(be scope of (hp work to be done It is no)
-. unlikely that (lie committee will have It
, ' bands literally full from now until tht
close of the festivities.
' ., Four members of the Home Marke.
' Olub of Boston are here to consult will,
-' Representative Dingley; the chairman 01
- tha floiise Ways and Means Committee
v The purppse of their visit Is to secure tu
: co-operation : of Mr, Dingley in the pas-
- aage through the Senate of the Dingle)
. revenue bill now before that body.
. It Is their expectation that if the Ding
-,. ley bill should become a law at this
stonSt would prevent the large Importa
. tloo.of foreign manufactures whioh an
v apip)pafeq while tqe proposed tariff bil
Jl btiforc Congress. They .-also believt
. . thf the Dingley bill can, if vigorous!)
'; Buihed, be put through the Senate.
Mr, : Washington introduced in tht
' House a bill to secure a better observ
ance of Sunday in the District. ' It wat
. , referred to the District Committee.
' The provisions begin with the restric-
- tion of all business transactions on Sun
' da,v (o, sales of Iewsps,pers and books,

- ' and to work of the undertaker in con
npctioq with burials.
Foot ball and base ball aad all othei
games are forbidden. Building opera
tions and work in construction of rail'
roads must be suspended.
A final clause permits such selling oi
liquors as la now allowed and excepts
the sales of tobacco, cigars, steamboat
and, railroad tickets and the collection

The argument used by the supporters
Of the measure is that it does not call on

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
ations, with all members present, but
lenators Lodge, Daniel and Gray, dis
cussed the Cuban question for one hour
tnd a half, and without taking action of
my sort adjourned. '
Senators Morgan and Mills advocated
.he vigorous resolutions introduced
ly them, but it was apparent
hat the committee was not pre
pared to follow such radical lead-
in. The drift of the. discussion showed
bat possibly a majority of the commit'
e might ultimately be persuaded into
eportlng a resolution patterned after
;hat of Senator Cameron.
This resolution recognizes the inde
pendence of the republic of Cuba by the
Jnited 8tates,and declares that this gov
ernment should use its friendly offices
ith the government ot Spain to bring the
ar between Spain and Cuba to an end,

THE COTTON MARK ITS.
"'",;.: V" ' ... December 17,
res news from Liverpool was a decline
ot l-82d on spots, with only moderate
sales vis 10,000 bales.
Siw Tobk opened a shade better than
last night's close ana the market there
has been Arm all day, finally closing at
9.M for January a net gain of IS points
for. the day.
It la generally' believed that about al the
"distressed cotton" has been liquidated
.and It Is probable today's advance was
caused more by the subsidence of' the
v selling movement than from any other g
cause, ifr mscou turn present pnc Mis
count a very large crpp and M the re
ceipts let up some, a good advance
might result. The market though baa
been demoralised so thoroughly that It
may taks several days to assume a
healthy state.
New Bkbni market has been steady at
51 to 8.80. .:
