Mr. f*pi4nger reejnonded *h«t ft was

Mr. Sprtngcy declared that this bill
prodded for the o*l aatltdr y of the curron-

ICiwitest drawback to the system.

terms of tlw» law. In»tend of fixing the
limit at June 30, 1MK». lie believed Utat
llio banka could at once conform to tho
ncqultvmonta t>/ the bill, but he recog
nized, ho sam. tho necessity of avoid
ing what might possibly cause a llurry
In financial circles.
Kofening to tho pcmdalon regarding
Mtnte bank looucn, Mr. springer said
that It might bo ooNumed that Htnteo
whivti wished the clrcuhttloo of their
ta"ka to go boyotvd the borders
the state would mate© provisions tor
the redemrtkui of their bank notes
which would make thorn safe. The
state bank iw>uv». however, would not
lx* a legal tender. The poqioHttUin re-
ir^rdlng state banks was iffoeront from
tho one diacuuscd by the bona.* at its
Bout session—the repeal 0»f the 10 per
cent. tax. He did not favor the repeal
of the 10 per cent. tax. He had not
changed his m1ud regarding the state
banka, but this did not pivvetvt him
from agreeing t\> a oomprom:se, n« he
was not tils klud Of a loglahitcr who
refuted to lako anything txMaus© he
could not got what he wanted. This
was not such a bill aa he would re
port If he could have had his way. All
legtitkmon waa tho result of a coin*
ppunAse, and If air>' UNteflts were ex-
pi^tsl, this ah.'uht be Mototel. If this
bill m wnaoTKl, It wodld linprox-c our

this, but In hi* opinion tt would give

’If >we passed It.** said he, "we would
receive fit© commendation of our con
stituent*. which ww did not receive at
the last eteciim.”
t "la cloaing, Mr. Springer oaKed on
Wwemberti to support the measure and
give the country a cnudi-uvodcd relief.
MR. WAIdCnR a IVR1U.Y.
' Mr. Walker (Republican) of Masaarhu-

Tdux. U. Walker sakt hb bill had been
reported to the house to tho fifty-second

*1 ns of hto toll, Mr. Wslker ki>1. th<.
S«»twis from 1 ruled banks in the past
thirty yean would have amounted to
gi,(A*c—an lntlnllely small amount. Mr.
Walker said that hla bill was permiss
ive ; the secrets ry's bill was mandatory.
“You tiil your buy 16 years old that
if -lie does nut do a certain thing you’ll
lick -him, and he'll fight you if he's go*
any grit; and if h«-'s hlg wiul rough h-r’ll

gest that anything is for Ms benefit,
auxl sit down to Ohow him how U will
bo so, he will go right off and <!o Irt.
Under tho Carllale bill, the'banks wooft
do wtsat they will l>e glad to do under
the Walker bill. I m.iy take a little
ros-colored view of -that subject, how
ever; I may be -tinged with parUsanshto
on that (point, but 1 (hope not."
in (oIi'-.umoii, .Mr. \V.ilk*-r slid IiSh
MU provided for appointing a commit
tee oonelsiing of 0ve l-adinj; bankers
in tile five principal rodemptx)n cities.
Which shall gtvo the secretary of the
treasury Advice dod counsel in all mat
ters relating to the financial matters
of governrmmt.* This was a measure of
relief to liie secretary that wns worth
u whole s«*f!rm of legislation.
“Mannim; has died, Wlndbm has
dl^d, and any secretary who remains
at the helm of'the treasury department
for tour years aul does not die has
not dome hit duty." (Laughter.)
MR. HAUL'S TURN.
When it cam* Mr. Hall's turn to
speak, ho alluded to the substitute bill
offered for the Otriisle bill by Mr.
Bpringcr, chairman of the committee,
whereupon Mr. Cox of Tennessee said
he wanted 'to know whence this sub
stitute earn#; the committee don't know
anything about lu
IMr. Hprlnger explained that in his re
marks earlier in the day he had (riven
notice of stv&ral 'Ormendmeufs which he
wouid offer, sod In order to avoid vot
ing upon them separa’tely he hod said
ho might offer them altogether in a
substitute.
The changes were immaterial, and
such ns c»o one would Object to. One
posited as receipt for the ustlonal bank
was that cum-ncy sixes might be de
notes «« wt-ll as logul tenders.
Mr. Hall tuid the milk in the co-
coanut of opposition to the Carlisle
bill wns contained In the* statement of
the minority report—whatever legisla
tion Is had with reference to banking
iu fts effects upon national banks
should be permissive and not manda
tory as to national brinks, while their
present charters continue.
That is, said Sir. Hell. If these banks
hiv not to b«* disturbed in fh-lr pres
ent monopoly of tho Issue of notes, and
that we must wait upon their con
venience nnd desire in the matter of
banking changes In tho law. At the
conclusion of Mr. Hall's remarks, the
committee aToeo and r*t 6.20 tho house
adjourned until tomorrow.
Mr. Henderson (Democrat) of North
Carolina. Just before adjourn morn, re
ported tho pfSftofflco appDopriatbm bill

HOT SHOT FOR WILCOX.
Oabonry <fc Roble Declare That City
Engineer Wilcox Has
Interfered,
WORK ON THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Dang Emphatically That They Now or
Ever Did Entertain Any Deelre
to Throw Up Their Contract—
Expensive Chargee,
It Waving been rumored on the streets
for the post few days that Messrs.
Gaboury & NWble, to -whom the con
tract for building Macon’s sewebige
system was awarded, were contempla
ting the stoppage of all work and tho
bifinglng of a sutt tor damages agalnao
the city, owing mo a disagreement which
exists between the contractors and tho
City Engineer -WllOcox, a Telegraph
reporter called on Mr. Gaboury at his
home on Rose Park last nlghlt nnd
asked whatt was the stoltus Of the sew
erage work Just now.
"Well, to begin srHh, -wo made our
bid on known and epeciflo plans,” safid
Mr. Gatboury. "These plans were
known as the Gray plans nnd specifi
cations, and on them we nvade our bid.
Mr. Gray was paid 81,200 by the city
itho city for making these plans and
they are good ones. Mr. Gray Is one
of ithle foremost civil engineers A the
country, and is sanitary engineer for
the std-te of Rhode island.
“Well, what’s the hitch 7” asked the
reporter. * .
“Just this.” replted Mr. Garboury.
"City Engineer WHIcox has persistently
and repealtddCy changed the Gray plans
on whloh our Md was made. We did
not ah!i never have objected to his do
ing this. He has a right tlo do it, ac
cording to our agreement with the city,
whlfch Bays -that tho city engineer has
tho righlt to attar, amend or change the
plans anyway ho sees proper, provided
the contractors are compensated for all
ad-dltlonJil expense to Which they are
putt by said changes. The pirns were
changed. We did not objeat. But the
city engineer refuses to allow us a Just
and reasonable compensation for the
money wo hutvc spent on account of tho
changes ho hns ordered.”
"Hiss 'the city engineer allowed you
anything at 0111 for changes?"
“Top: a very little. The city engi-
rvecr’a changes have so tor necessitated
»n outlay on our part of about $10,000.
We have been allowed afbout 5 per cent,
of that amount. If ithat amount by
tho city engineer.*'
"You say these thus ifar made have
necessitated an outlay on your part
of -about $10,000?"
"Yes."
"Then, Mr. GsYboury, If these changes
are continued, whe.t wftll -the total ad*
dtetodU expense ibe?"
"S.»methfng like $40,000 for the entire
system, find the contract which wc
hanre with ithe city says we ere to be
•pnld for 'this additional work, but dipt.
wBoox refuses to allow'It. Capt. 'Wil
cox not only refuse* to allow us a rea
sonable compensation tor what is due
tor these chlangee, tout on November 20
he ordered us to discontinue keeping
accounts with the city tor this extra
work, tout after eleven days ho xe-
ce*deU from this position aijd admttted
that we had a right <t?o keep such nfc-
COUUftS."
"Mr. Gaboury, It Is rumored that you
and Mr. Noble have made a bid that la
too low and that yod are desirous of
quitting work and bringing suit against
the city If an excuse can be found.’* .
"You may say thai we have nevor
found cause to regret our bid on thu
work. We are now, as we have been In
the past, ready to do the* work accord
ing to contract. W© aro satisfied with
prices and all, but we have been constant
ly interfered with by the city engineer,
who Is not only not & competent civil en
gineer. but has all along been'unfair to
us In this matter."
"Of what do the changes of Engineer
Wilcox consist?" •
"In most instances of deepening the
sowers. In many instances when the
proper depth according to the original
plans was attained without striking mud
or water tho city engineer would com
pel us to dig a few feet deeper, and fn
those fow feet we would strike both mud
and water, thereby Increasing the ex
pense of the work greatly. Hesldes, Capt.
Wilcox’s plan calls fdt concreting, which
is not only not necessary, but Injurious
to the system."
"You arw perfectly satisfied with the
price you ere receiving?"
,f Yes; perfectly so."
"Have you not filed a protest against
tho making of any connections, and tf so.
why?"
“Yes, we have filed a protest, but the
report that we want to monopolize the
business of making sewer connections is
f*ta. All we want tfnd all w© have asked
tho city council to do Is to adopt some
measure that will protect us against In.
Jury to the sewers, for which we are re-
sponsible until completed, before these
connections are made, and then anybody
in go to work on them."
Mr. -Gaboury stated that about elicht
miles of the city’s sewerage system had
sdy been built and that the remain
ing work would be done tf Mr. WUcox
did not too seriously Interfere. He also
said that the contractors were willing
now, and had always been willing, to
submit the matter to arbitration^ or to
quote him exactly, "meet the council
more than half way. He indignantly de
nied that ho wished to surrender the con
tract and sue the city, and insisted that
he had been annoyed and interfered with
from the beginning by the city* engineer.

and also a song story, which were well
received.
Among tho pieces rendered In re
