Mr. Sprtngcy declared that this bill prodded for the o*l aatltdr y of the curron- cy, the lick of which Md been the ICiwitest drawback to the system.

The epeaker Itsta! that nt the proper time ho would move to amend section 1 02 tho bill m» hh to give the national bonks » year after the passago of til© bUl within which to comply with tho 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.

MR. WAIdCnR a IVR1U.Y. ' Mr. Walker (Republican) of Masaarhu- no:ta fbilowed.

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 lick you.

(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.

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. AT THE ACADEMY.
