nave majority OF iii the senate now.
They would therefore, elect their vice
president. Here, too, the election would
be totally Independent of the size or i'm
portance of every state. Indeed here
Nevada would out-vote New York. for
the Republican candidate would get two
votes from NcSlda, while the Demo.
cratic candidate would get only one vote
from New York. In some states, like
Ohio and Wisconsin, there would be a
stand-off, there being in each Demo-
cratic and Republican senator.
This recalls curious omission in the
provision for the presidential election in
the house. No provision is made for
such states whose delegations consist of
two members, in case they should be of
opposite politics. In the present house
there are five such states.
1t so happens that in each case both
members of the delegation are of the
same party, the three first being Demo-
cratic, the two last Republican. But if
it should have happened that in any one
Of these states zone member had
been Democrat and the other Repub-
lican-a contingency by no means i'm
possible-the two gentlemen could never
have agreed on candidate, and that
very interesting question would then
have arisen as to how the state should
vote. Under the constitution it would
have lost its vote altogether. This would
seem to deserve the attention of con-
gress. 1t is plain, therefore, that the
Alliance and its Nationalpolitical future
are worthy of careful attention.

THE GILLIAN EPISODE.
Great Secrecy as to the state Depart
meats Action.

meats Action.
WASHINGTON, May i2.-It is believed
that orders have been sent to Admiral
Brown, commanding the Pacific station,
and to Admiral McCann, commanding
the ships of the South Pacific station. to
capture the Itata by force if necessary
and take her to the first American port.
The greatest air Of secrecy surrounds
the affair There is the strongest reason
for believing that the orders were issued
Saturday before Secretary Tracy left the
department and that the Charleston is
on her way south after the Itata.
Inquiries as to the whereabouts of the
Charleston and to what orders she has
received, the reply that she left San
Francisco Saturday morning to try her
guns, and has not been heard from
since. There is every reason to believe,
however, that she is now in pursuit of
the ltata with orders to take her wher-
ever found, The warships Baltimore
and Pensacola, with Admiral Mccain
i'll command, are now in Chilian waters
and are undoubtedly under orders to
capture the insurgent vessel if they can.
The San Francisco was last heard from
when she was leaving Peru last week,
and she is expected to join the Balti-
more and Pensacola early this week.
With these vessels and the Charleston,
Admiral Mccain will have under his
command the three finest cruisers, and
the best wooden vessels in the navy,
and they should certainly be able to
take the ltata under any circumstances.

Ill round numbers, 800 GOO 600. This
vast sum of money would be thrown
into circulation within two or three
months. and within eleven months every
dollar of these treasury notes would be
returned to the treasury and Cancelled
and destroyed. What effect would this
sudden and enormous contraction of our
circulation bave upon the price of labor,
the production Of truck farms and all other
commodities that come into market from
the farms after the withdrawal from cir
culation of the $3.50, 100000 of treasury
notes? What effect would such contrac-
ton have upon the market value of the
crops that have been stored after
they were sold and delivered. and
were i'll the hands of the pur-
chasers, when the sudden and un-
precedente3 0ntraction occurred? Who
would buy crops in ware houses at "A
price forced up by their withdrawal
from market and temporary increase in
the volume of circulation, when the
same crops would certainly go down in
price as soon as they were delivered to
the purchaser and the treasury notes
paid for them were Immediately with
drawn from circulation? The govern
ment is to issue treasury notes for the
temporary use of the farmers who make
the crops, and then bankrupt those who
buy them by sudden and ruinous con-
traction of the currency If the govern
ment is to advance to farmers money
enough to enable them to hold their
crops to secure better prices, what reason
is there for not advancing money enough
to the purchasers to enable them to pay
the higher prices? To insure the higher
prices to the farmers it would seem to be
equally advantageous to advance to both
buyer and seller and lei the amount ad-
vanced remain in circulation. The in
evitable effects Of the sub-treasury plan
would, in my judgment, make it a
standing menace to the trade and com
merce of the country, and the farmers
would be the victims of their own in
vention."

CIVIL PENSION SCHEME
For the Benefit of Government Employees
Rendered Unfit by Age.


WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Sunday
Herald says: A movement is on foot in
the various departments of the govern.
ment located in this city to establish
what might be termed comparative
pension scheme for the benefit of those
clerks who, through advanced age of
physical disability incurred by their
service for the government, become un-
able to attend to their duties.
By fund established through a small
monthly deduction made from the salary
of each clerk, those sick OF aged would
receive pension duringthe time of their
disability, or for life when regularly at
tired by the action of an authorized
board. 1t is suggested that a percentage
of about per cent. a month be deducted
from the salary Of each government
clerk and deposited i'll the United States
treasury, to be held there in trust as a
fund to pension those regularly retired,
and to pay stated amount to those who
are temporarily disabled
For some time this idea has been
talked about in a general way, but it is
understood that definite steps are being
taken to put the matter on firm foot
ing, with the intention of carrying it
into effect. Statistics are being tabu-
lated to ascertain the number Of clerks
it would affect, the number of years of
service of each those entitled to retire
ment, and the total amount that would
be obtained by 2 per cent. reduction
from the salaries.
1t is very probable that with these
facts in hand and the sound argment
the clerks can present in favor of the
plan, bill viii be submitted to the next
congress legalizing this action. 1t is
claimed by those interested that con-
gress cannot oppose the bill as they ask no
money or aid, but simply the legal sane
tion of that body.
The number of clerks Of an advanced
age who are retained i'll the departments
simply because of their faithful services
for many years is very large. They have
outlived their actual usefulness, and are
allowed to remain only for the reason
that if dismissed they would be in ac-
tual want. With the pension these could
be dismissed, with the result that the
number of promotions all along the line
would be very large.
A clerk receiving a salary of 81 200
would lie obliged to pay annually $24,
but the very fact that they paid this
amount enables man to be retired, and
the one who pays his dues is promoted
TO a 81, 400 position. Thus, the clerks
assert, by giving $24 he makes $li6. 1t
is understood that the movement has
the sanction Of prominent government
officials

WASHINGTON, May II. The depart
ment of state is ignorant of any inten-
ton on the part of this government to de-
mand the recall of Pasquale Norte, the
Italian consul at New Orleans, on &C
caunt of the public utterances, rs is re-
ported in some newspapers. 1t is not
felt that the consul has done anything in
derogation of the majesty Of the govern
ment of the United States, and if he had
it would not be necessary to demand his
recall--the state department would sim
ply withdraw his exequatur, which
would leave the consul without any Of
fetal status in the United States.

THE AGREEMENT WITH SPAIN.
Provisions of the Convention Comprise a

Provisions of the Convention Comprise a
Double Tariff.
MADRID, May 49, Gen. John w.
Foster, the American reciprocity envoy,
having failed in his negotiations for a
general treaty between Spain and the
United States, suggested a secrect treaty,
which also failed to meet the approval
Of the Spanish ministry. He therefore
agreed to conclude simple convention
on the basis O'Donnell proposed for a
treaty This convention necessarily
comprises double tariff-the first com
menCing on July /, and enduring till the
Spanish treaties with other powers are
announced in July, 1892, when the sec
ond comes into operation.
The convention provides for the free
entry into the United States of sugar,
honey, cocoa, coffee and skins from the
Spanish West Indies-tobaccO and iron
ore paying the duty exacted by the new
United States tariff. In exchange SPANS
colonies in the West Indies are to receive
American coal, ice, wood, boots, shoes.
fresh and salt meats and fish, either free
or under small duty, while butter and
drippings are entirely exempt, and the
duty on flour is reduced from 81 30 to
81 80 per barrel, with the same reduction
on corn.
The tariff on dry goods and husbandry
machinery will afford the United States
no material advantage till 1892. because
any privileges accorded will be reaped
by Great Britain, France, Germany and
Belgium under Favored Nation" treat
les, thus njuring Americas future in
terests.
Competent authoiitigs calculate that
Cuba will suffer IA reduction in customs
receipts of 100000 monthly under the
convention.

Senator Pugh So Declares the
Sub-TreaSury Bill
In a Letter to the Alabama
Farmers Alliance.

Would Not the Sudden Throwing Into
Circulation of the Vast Amount of
Money and the Withdrawal of the Same
Seriously Affect the Price of Labor as
Well AS Commodities?
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Pugh,
of Alabama, has written a letter to
the Farmers Alliance of his state
in which he reviews the sub-treas-
ury bill at great length, and gives the
ground of his opposition. The bill sent
him for examination provides for the
erection of ware houses in every county
in each state that produces $500 600
worth Of the crops specified rs storable.
These ware houses-no small item Of
cost-are to be built at the general ex-
pense. There is a storage charge to be
paid by the owner of the crop. The
ware house keepers are to be paid
salaries by the government The owner
is entitled to an advance of eighty cents
ON the dollars worth of his crop in
treasury notes issued for this particular
purpose. If the crop is not sooner sold
by the owner it is at the expiration
of eleven months, sold by the govern
ment for what it will bring, the owner
being charged with the money advanced
at 2 per cent. interest, and the ware
house charges, and credited with the
proceeds of the sale. If the owner falls
in debt to the government hemust settle

How presldent May BE Elected.

1t is not out of the range of the posi-
bic that such question may arise in
the next house. That question would
be the most important in the history of
this country. 1t would be the question
of the next president of the United
States.
Should the house have the controlling
vote in the presidential contest all the
states would meet on a common level and
the fifty thousand whites, blacks, half
breeds, mongrels, Chinese and Indians of
the Nevada mining camp would be MS
powerful in electing a president as the
many millions of the intelligent resi-
dents Of New York. us the states would
vote as states and not individual mem
bers of the delegations. SO big is the
Democratic majority, even in the unit
vote by states, that they could eject the
president even il not a single Republican
was present. The constitution provides
that there shall be present a quorum
consisting Of a member or members
from two-thirds ei the states SO that
with the thirty states the Democrats
could legitimatcly elect the president
without the Attendance of a single Re
publican, The deep interest which both
the Democratic and Republican parties
take in the Alliances eitree into the field
of National politics can therefore be
readily understood.
Still another feature presents itself in
case the Alliance throws the vote into
the house. There would then probably
be Democratic president and a Repub-
lican vice president For the same
article of the constitution which makes
the house elect the president throws the
election of the vice president into the
senate. But here there is difference.
In the first place the list of cligibles for
the vice presidency is confined to
the two names having the highest
number of votes cast for them in the
electoral college instead of three, as is
the case in the president.
