The Mexican Treaty.

WAsHNGToN, Jan. 1.-THE Senate spent four
hours and half to-day in executive session con
siderng the Mexican treaty. An agreement was
reached before adjournment that the debate
shall close at o'clock tomorrow, and vote be
taken Immediately. The principal speeches to
day were made by Senator Gibson, opposing a
ratification on the ground that injustice would
be done the sugar interests of his State, and by
Senator Miller of New York, favoring ratifca-
ton. Senator Colquitt made short speech in
favor of ratification. The result of the vote to-
morrow can not be predicted. Estimates of the
strength of the opposition are current tonight,
but are untrustwOrthy There are enough sena
tors not decided how they will vote to turn the
scale either in favor of or against the treaty.

A BRAND-NEW PARTY.
Outline of a Plan Said to Have Been Prepared
by Morrison and Carlisle.

Outline of Plan Said to Have Been Prepared
by Morrison and Carlisle.
New York Special.
a double-leaded dispatch from Washington, in
the Sun to-day, outlines plan on which the dis
patch supposes Mr.. Carlise and Mr.. Morrison ex-
pect to bank for success in November next. The
plan implies the formation of new party, to be
organized on the basis of revenue reform. A
rather comprehensive platform is outlined, and,
according to the dispatch, the onginators OF the
plan expect to carry New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, the sixteen
Southern States, and the Pacific States, also In
diana and Michigan, insuring, altogether 1875 of
the 200 votes needed as a majority of the elec
toral college
More stringent Chinese legislation is to be put
forth as bait for the Pacific States, and Michi-
gan is to be captured by little attention to lum-
Der, iron, and copper ore. The calculation also
includes Wisconsin, on the ground that the pro-
hibition Republicans have disgusted the Ger
mans; Iowa on the same grounds, Nebraska by
means of an anti-mOnopoly plan, and possibly
Illinois and Kansas. The two States last named
are to be baited by whisky bill, to be passed by
the House and defeated by Republican votes in
the Senate.
The dispatch says the programme means Nc
Donald as the Presidential candidate of the So
called emancipated Democrats.

@ GOLD AND SILVER CERTIFICATES.
Statement by Secretary Folger of Their Issue
Since 1878.

Since 1878.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-The Secretary of the
Treasury sent to the House, to-day; in response
to the resolution offered by Mr.. Wood, a com
munication in relation to the Issue of gold and
silver certificates between Dec. ], 1873, and Dec
l, 1851, and during the years 1882 and 1888 Mr..
Wood, who introduced the resolution, says he
did so because there is a feeling among Western
business men that the issue of gold and silver
certificates has been limited in the interest of
the national banks
Secretary Folger, in his communication. re-
plies that the amount of gold certificates issued
between Dec. l, 1878, and Dec. l. 1891 is 2. 500;
that the issue Of such certificates was discon-
tinued by the department, by telegram, Dee 3,
1873, to the United States Assistant Treasurer
at New York for reasons of non-issue fully
set forth Unpublished letters relating to specie
resumption and the refunding of the national
debt contained in the executive document to the
second session of the Forty-siXth Congress. He
states that he was not the head of the depart
ment until Nov. IA, 1881. and that he has no
personal knowledge of the reasons of his pre-
decessors further action in the matter. The
amount of gold certificates issued the last six
months of 1882 and the whole of 1883 is $I07,-
060 000 These certificates were issued in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the act of July
II, 1882 which directed the Secretary of the
Treasury to receive deposits of gold coin
and issue certificates therefor. The reason the
issue was limited to the sum named is that the
law enjoins the department to issue no more
certificates than is covered by deposit of gold
coin or bullion.
With respect to the dscontinuance of the issue
of silver certificates since 1881, the Secretary
says the certificates have been issued in accord
ance with the act of Feb. 2S, 1878, to the full
amount of standard silver dollars -, posted
therefor, such issue from Jan. l. 1884, to Dec
and silver certificates have heen issued to the
full extent required by the acts of July u, 1882
and Feb. 2S, 1878.

LONDON, Jan. IA leading member of the
Chinese legation at London, in an interview
stated that China has not declared war against
France although her memorandum to Premier
Ferry declaring assault on Sontay, Hung
Koa or Bacninh would be casus belli. will be
carried out to the letter
When Sontay captured Marquis Tseng
withdrew from France to England to await in
structions from the Chinese government. These
instructions Tseng has since received, but their
tenor could not be divulged. The attack upon
Sontay was a violation of the friendly
relations between the two coun-
tries, but Tseng would not therefore,
make formal declaration of war against
France. France attacked both Hue and Sontay
without declaring war against China, and threat
ems to attack Bacninh where there are large
bodies OF Chinese troops to meet the French
forces and protect Bacninh with all their power
The Chinese minister to France recently visited
England, but the report is not true that his OBJ
Ject was to see Lowell, United States minister
to obtain the mediation of the United States
"Tseng,' the attache continued, twas visiting
London upon business with the Chinese lega-
tion, but it is not unlikely he would DISCUSS with
Granville, the British Foreign Secretary, the
present position of affairs between the Chinese
and France"
The attache most positively declared that
China had never entertained the proposal of the
evacuation of Bacninh a basis of negotiations
for a settlement of the Tonquin question.

THE CORN CROP.
Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture
The Question of Seed Corn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE crop report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture for the year 1888 is
out The Commissioner says that one feature
of the corn growing in 1883 should prove a les
son to the farmers of the country. The general
use Of seed corn in the West grown in lower lati-
tudes, the planting of Nebraska seed in Mime
sofa, of Kansas seed in Illinois, has demonstrated
the folly of attempting to acelimate Southern
maize in more northern districts, Much of the
loss from frost would have been avoided had
seed been carefully selected from the best corn
grown in the immediate neighhorhood The
whole of the corn grown in 1883 in Michigan, Wis
eonsin, Minnesota and Dakota added to half
of that grown in Ohio Indiana Illinois, Iowa,
and Nebraska would make an aggregate equal

The Townsend Resolution To Be FavOrably
Reported to the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Jan 1.-THE subcommittee of
the House commerce committee will tomorrow
report favorably to the full committee joint
resolution declaring, in effect, that all importa-
tions of products from Germany and France,
which shall be determined to be injurious to the
public health shall be prohibited; and that if the
President, upon the testimony of experts, shall
be satisfied, at any time, that the importations
of any particular articles are injurious to the
public health, he is authorized to issue proc
lamation declaring that the importation of such
products shall be prohibited at the expiration of
thirty days after the date of the proclamation.
If this joint resolution be passed upon, with or
without modification by the full committee, an
effort will probably be made next Monday to
suspend the rules and pass 1t in the House.
Congressman Clardy is chairman of the sub
committee in charge of the resolution. 1t is the
prevalent belief that the final result of the
agitation Of the hog question will be the erection
of government inspection service which will
examine and certify to expectations of hog prod
ucts, and that extreme measures will not be
resorted to unless these products thus certified
to should be excluded from foreign countries
The Townsend Resolution Modified.
To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE subcommittee of
the House committee on commerce to which was
referred the question of adopting measures in
retaliation against the countries which prohibit
the importation of American hog products, after
discussing a number of measures proposed, de-
cided upon the joint resolution of Repre-
sentative Townsend, and agreed to report it
favorably to the full committee. The resolution,
as slightly amended, after consultation with Mr..
Townsend is as follows;
Whereas, The governments of the German en-
pre and republic of France have seen fit to prohibit
the importation of American hog products upon the
assumption that they deeterious to public health
and
Whereas, The government of the German empire
mas declined the invitation of the President of the
United States to send their experts to this
try for the purpose of examining the quality and
ner of marketing hog products,
Resolved, That the President of the United States
is authorized during the session recess of Congress
to prohibit the importation of any imports
fed are injurious to public health from those countries
upon the same grounds which they prohibit the i'm
portation of any American goods or products"
The resolution will probably be submitted to
the full committee to omorrow, and on Monday
the House under suspension of the rules.
