Messages From Evans.
The Situation Throughout is
Exceedingly Threatening.
The Chilean Buga boo.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-While the
cabinet did not assemble for elaboration
today a joint presence Of Secretaries
Blaine. Elkins and Tracy at the white
house bore a strong resemblance to the
cabinet meeting. They remained in con-
ference with the president some time and
Gen. j. w. Foster was called in. The
discussion related generally to the Chilean
affair, but the question most directly un-
der consideration was the character of the
presidents message to congress.
The secretary Of the navy received a
message from Commander Evans today
saying the Yorktown will sail tor Callao
with the refugees tonight. This is re-
garded as indicating that affairs ara quiet
in Chile at present.

Representative Springer's free wool
bill introduced today. is similar to that
made public heretofore, except as respects
the waste and shoddy wool section, and
the new section providing goods in bond
January, 1893, the date the bill goes into

and likewise all mungo, shoddies, game
teed, or corded waste or waste products,
composed wholly or II part OF wool, and
which have been improved or advanced

ment of all goods exported to those

today adopted a resolution requesting the
secretary of the treasury to appear before
the committee Saturday morning, the
23rd inst for the purpose of furnishing
the committee with information IN refer
ence to the finances Of the country. Chair
man Springer said information was de-
sired that the committee might have
knowledge of the governments receipts
and expenditures before taking action in
reference to the tariff.
The coinage committee was again in
session today. After the committee got
to work this morning, Pierce of Tennessee,
again offered his resolution, declaring it
the sense of the committee that a bill for

delay.
As a substitute. Bartine of Nevada
| offered a resolution that the committee
proceed at once to the consideration of the
free coinage of silver taking the Bland
bill as a basis.
johnson of North Dakota proposed
the com mittee substitute for the Bland
bill his bill for an international monetary
conference, but mis- motion was defeated,
7 to 2, johnson and Stone of Pennsylvania
casting tie <only affirmative votes,
Williams of Massachusetts, Taylor OF
Illinois and Kilgore of Texas being
absent.
Bartine's motion was then carried and,
on motion of Stone, it vas decided the
vote should be deferred until three weeks
from today. In the meantime the com
mittee was to hold special meetings at the
cali of the chairman, Tor the purpose of
hearing such persons as might be accorded
a hearing.
