New YORK, Sept. 25.-In letter to the
Tribune, William Henry Smith says ex-
President Hayes many friends would be
pleased if he was millionaire, as they
believe no one would make wiser use OF
his wealth than he, but unfortunately
this is far from the truth. The plain fact
is that General Hayes is in moderate cir
cumstances, with demands upon him in
cident to his high position. His property
is almost all in unproductive real estate,
for which there has been and is but little
sale
While occupying the White House
President and Mrs. Hayes entertained
with remarkable liberality, and his re-
tirement to private life did not carry with
it cessation of so doing. 1t is well
known to his friends that General Hayes
has gone beyond prudence, and has seri-
ously taxed his resources to aid others.
His generosity has been almost unlim-
tied, and after all these years of retire
ment the demands seem to be as constant
as when he was the Chief Executive.

GEARY's BILL FAVORED.
Friends of Silver May Unite on It-Mr.
Bland Sulks.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1l.-[Special. Free
coinage has made no material progress within
the past few days, but the Republicans have
manifested desire to fix upon some compro-
mise measure that will be acceptable to large
number in the party whose intelletts are little
close on neutrality-suspicious., aud who have been
frightened by the distressing predictions of the
dire disaster that will befall the country If
foreign hordes of silver permitted to enter our
mint. Geary's bill has been considered by these
ssweak sisters" and they seem to favor it, while
many of the free coinage men say it is good
enough for them, and they will probably move
to adopt 1t or bill very similar to 1t at the Re-
publican caucus tomorrow. Mr.. Bartine said
today that something of the sort would probably
be done, as it was of the utmost importance to
have the bill up in the House in few
days. He intimated that a majority of
the coinage committee would support bill
patterned after the style of Mr. Geary's, and he
believed it would give the silver men clear
majority OF the House. A few Democrats would
age pure and simple, but enough Republicans
would be won to enable them to make up the
difference
1t is a strange fact that the only opposition
that Mr.. Geary has encountered for his bill has
come from his own party. Mr. Bland was
greatly ineensed because the measure
vote against it, with the few other Democrats
who follow him in everything. Mr.. Bland
wants the Bland bill or nothing. Today he
showed his usual lack of Judgment by jumping
on the shipping bill, which is not under con-
sideration, and proclaimng that il was fostered
by the corrupt lobby which swarmed over the
capital and intimated pretty plainly that all who
voted for it would be considered as bribe
takers and dishonest Legislators. This only
serves to make enemies for silver, anything
else which Mr. Bland supports, for he is so Of
fensiye III his language when in debate that
there many. who would vote against any,
thing he might PROPOSE no matter how worthy
it might be, simply to spite him. Tonight Mr.
Bland pettishly refused to attend the meeting of
the coinage committee, preferring to sulk alone
at his hotel.

Report of Reciprocity Treaty With

Squire Lays Out Noisy CockreII.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. n.-tspecial.-The
brilliant parliamentary victory won by Senator
squire over the Oregon senator's today in the
consideration of the Puget Sound dry dock APP
propriatlon is the talk of the town tonight
Inc case was really managed with much adj
dress This is the most important piece OF legis-
iation secured for Washington from the present
congress- and for weeks the result of today has
been planned by the senators.
A careful canvass was made of the Senate
early IN the session. Whenever SEN
ator from the East wanted n meas
ure IN which he was particularly interested
senator Squire would find il out early in the
game, and in return for his active support he
would obtain a pledge to vote for the Puget
sound dry dock. In this way, and by stretching
personal influence to the utmost, an appropria-
tlon oil SI50O0 was carried the Senate, S225 900
OF which is to be made available this year.
The proceedings occupied the greater part of
today 5 session. After the expiration of the
morning hour the amendment TO the naval ap-
preparation bill was taken up and the fight
begun For three hours spirited debate, in
which dozen senators took part, was
maintained. Senators Squire and Allen
Were, OF course, cons pieuous in support
OF tie amendment, and Senators Dolph and
Mitchell, of Oregon, against it. The Washing
Ton men made plain, business-like statements,
based on the facts developed in the investiga-
natural advantages of Port Orchard. They re-
PEELED all the attacks made upon the souudness
OF their position in running debate two hours
long. senator Cockrell undertook to maintain
that the commission had reported in favor of a
site at the mouth of the Columbia river, and
was very sharply corrected by Senator Squire.
Alter the discussion was concluded Senator
Cockrell admitted that he had been wrong and
Senator Squire had completely foored him.
The debate was shared in by Senators Frye,
Hiscock Hale, Stockbridge, Chandler and 9TH
ers. When the vote was taken the galleries were
greatly amused by the disappearance of Senator
Squire i'll one of the cloak-rooms and his reap
pearance, followed by eighteen senators whom
he had kept corralled to support the amend
ment. They were Black burn, Cameron, Casey,
Cullom, Davis, Edmunds, Farwell, Gray,
Harris, Mcmillan, Henderson, Payne,
Pierce, Powers, Spooner, Stewart, Stockbridge
and Wolcott. The Others who voted for the bill
were Blair, Aldrich, Allen, Bate, Berry, Call,
Carey, Chandler, Coke, Dixon, Hale, Pasco,
Pugh, Squire, Teller, Vance and Washburn, a
total of So. Those voting against it were Alli-
son. Cockrell, Dolph, George, Hawley, Hiscock,
Mcpherson, Mitchell, Reagan, Sawyer, Frye and
Gorman-l2. In vote of forty-seven senators
three-fourths were for Washington.

RECIPROCITY WITH VENEZUELA.
Negotiations Not Yet Completed - Mr.
Blaine Not Writing tn Canadians.


WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. u.-fSpecialI.-It is
learned on the highest authority that the state
ment that a reciprocal agreement had been con-
GUIDED with Venezuela is incorrect. While the
commerce OF Venezuela is not larger than that
OF Brazil. the United States has for several years
enjoyed larger proportion of importing busi-
ness tnan any other nation dealing with NeneZ-
uela. The total exports OF Venezuela in 1886
were little more than sIl.000,000, and
their imports were about $90O0,0O0. OF
this amount the Venezuelans took from
the United States more than so000,000 in
1850, and in 1883 that country took from United
States products TO the amount OF s5.OO0OOo This
included about 100000 breadstuffs principally
wheat, flour, about $J09,o00 worth of cloths $780,
0Oo worth OF manufactures of iron and steel and
more tnan soO0,OOO worth of provisions and dairy
products. In 1888 the United States imported a
little more than sl0,O00,0O0 altogether, while it
! sent more products to Venezuela than the other
nations. The imports of the United Kingdom,
France and Germany together are larger than
those of the United States

Arguments From New York and PhiIa.
delnhia Before Coinage Committee.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 1.-THE House coin
age committee gave a hearing tonight to the
delegation from Philadelphia and another from
the New York Chamber OF Commerce, in opposi-
tion to the pending free coinage bill
A letter was read on the subject of free com
age from Robert Patterson, of Philadelphia
grandson OF the mint director under
Thomas Jefferson, and an acknowledged
financial authoity. He took the ground
that no special harm would result to
the commercial interests of the country with
either gold or silver n money basis, but with
two standards one or the other must go to
premium, and thus destroy the financial equi-
nbrium of the country.
A long letter from Abram S. Hewitt was read
He though a silver mine owner himself and
smelter of silver, great danger from the
passage of the pending measure. He believed
in silver to a certain point, and Just so long as
the danger line is not passed that drives gold to
premium. He expressed fear that the line
would be passed before many years, even at the
present rate of coinage.
