SURPLUS REVENUES.
They May Be Used for the Redemption
of Bonds.

LAeJ MAY be OSeu Tor the redemption
of Bonds.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Chairman Gull
berson of the House Judiciary Commit
tee has prepared report on Dockery's
resolution on the calling for an inquiry as
to whether, under the Act of January ii.
1875. the Secretary of the Treasury has
the right to use the proceeds of any
moneys in the Treasury arising in the
sale Of bonds or otherwise, for any other
purposes than mentioned in the Act The
report says there has been no necessity to
invade the reserve fund or deplete it
by the redemption Of legal tender notes,
as the surplus revenues of the Treasury
have been amply sufficient to redeem the
notes presented.
The Secretary informs the committee
that there is no reserve fund SET aside.
either in cash or on the books of the
Treasury, and the money derived from
the sale Of bonds for redemption purposes
was merged in the general cash balance
or the Treasury; that the legal tender
notes presented for redemption have been
redeemed in gold. y ct in the statement
made by the Secretary, all redemptions
since 1879, amounting to SIS, 1873, 59l, APP
pear to have been made from the pro-
ceedS of the sale of bonds for redemption
purposes without regard to surplus rev.
enues, thus reducing the proceeds Of the
bonds 10 S03, S04.C0q.
The report holds that if the gold reserve
of Si00,0J0,0J0 required to be kept in
the treasury should be depleted by the
redemption Of legal tenders, some should
be restored from current coins, receipts
OF the Government, and when transferred
to the reserve fund they are not subject
to use Tor any other purpose. Messrs.
Kay, e. b. Taylor, Powers, Broderick
and Buchanan return a minority report,
contending that there is nothing in the
Resumption Act requiring the Secretary
to set aside reserve fund for redemption:
thai the only fund provided for redemp-
ton is the proceeds of bonds sold for re-
demption purposes; that the power to use
any surplus revenue from time to time
in the treasury is permissive and not
mandatory, and the Secretary has no
power to set apart or hold against appro-
priations any TART of the surplus reve-
nues for the redemption of United States

A Lively Row on the Chicago Lake
Front Yesterday.
CHICAGO, July 5.-For years a portion
of the lake front near Van Buren, street
has been used as landlng-place by doz-
ems of pleasure steamers which ply be-
tween the city and the "Crib' out in the
harbor, run up shore, etc. The company
which has secured the privilege of trans
porting passengers 10 the Worlds Fair
grounds decided that they wanted to put
up their regular docks. and the city au-
thoritles notified the transient occupants
of the lake front that they must get out.
The latter assert that the company Sc
cured the Worlds Fair privileges through
unfair means, and announced their de-
termination to stand to their rights.
This morning the Harbormaster called
on the police for assistance and twenty
men were sent to him. They went down
to the lake-frOnt ,aproceeded to order the
boats to pull away and prepared to re-
move the temporary landing stages that
were there.
They no sooner started to work than
several mariners interfered and lively
row started.
One belligerent sailor and an equally
warlike policeman had fierce fight with
clubs in which the sailor was badly
worsted. Several Of the crew of one ves-
sci were dragged off to the station.
By this time several thousand people
congregated on the lake front and in the
park and made considerable of a demon
stration, most of them siding with the
sailors.
The. Police Captain in charge fearing a
riot sent for fifty more men, and when
they arrived dispersed the crowd The
police then proceeded with the work of
eviction, and without further trouble, be-
yond one or two slight encounters, fin
ished up the job and cleared the place
where the docks are to be put.
The sailors who have been evicted. saw
their rights have been invaded and they
propose to take the matter into the
courts.

SToCKToN, July 5.-Barney LAWN, an
old painter, rs years of age, was burned
to death this morning. He had been adj
dicted to drinking for many years, and
on the 4th Of July he was intoxicated.
His wife went to bed in the evening,
leaving him walking about the house.
Early this morning she was awakened by
smoke entering her room, and running
out she saw that the house was afire.
She found her husband lying on the bed
in his room, and dragged him nearly to
the door, and, believing he would get out.
she ran back to her room to save her
valuables.
The old lady got out safely, but LAWN
could not be found. After the fire had
been extinguished his remains were
found curled up on the floor of the bed
room, the features being unacceptable
and one hand burned of.

The insurgents took possession of the

tured and imprisoned many Government

lied. On June 9th 500 insurgents under
General Nuila seized the American bark
Joseph Oteri and proceeded with her to
Iruxlilo for the purpose of capturing the
town and eXterminating General Munio's
forces. The letter states that at that time
there was every reason to believe that the
revolution would be general one.
Twenty dozen guns and twenty-five

Joseph Oteri were seized. The bark was
later released by the insurgents, and ar
rived at the Mississippi quarantine sta
ton this morning. Its owner will insti-

They VIII No Longer PLY the Pacific
Ocean. it Is Said.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The Examiner.
tomorrow will contain the following
article: 1t may not be good news for the
people of Portland to learn that Frank
Upton's steamship service between the
Orient and Portland, in connection with
the Union Pacific Railroad, is to be dis
continued, but such is the case. 1t is gem
orally understood in railroad circles that
the service will end with the arrival of
the next steamer at that port on account
OF some recent understanding that has
been arrived at between President Hunt
lngton Of the Southern Pacific and Presi-
dent Clarke of the Union Pacific. Port
Iand has had this service for about two
years now through contract entered
into by Charles Frances Adams, when he
was President of the Union Pacific. and
Mr.. Upton, whose home is in Kobe.
Japan.
The latter had three steamers, and he
agreed to furnish monthly service for
period OF ten years, mainly for the trans
portatlon OF tea to Eastern points in the
United States and Canada, the Union Pa
CHIC on It's part agreeing to establish a
tariff that would enable Upton to COM
pete with the Pacific Mail, Canadian Pa
chic and Oriental and Occidental lines on
Adams made this contract in spite of
the fact that the Union Pacific has a Joint
lnteresUln the Oriental and Occidental Co.
and that the latter and the Pacific Mail
have close agreement for the mainte-
nance OF rates. He also made it in spite
of the protests Of Mr.. Huntington and
the Pacific Mail. his object being to get
all the rail haul from Portland eastward
on as much tea as possible, in addition to
the percentage his line was getting on all
the Occidental and Oriental's and the Pa
cltic Mails traffic via Ogden. He had
made grand contract for the Union Pa
citic, but it is said that the service has not
been very successful and that it has not
taken very much persuasion or large in
ducement to get the Union Pacific to
agree to q cancellation of the contract.
However, it was club that the Union
Pacific could hold over Huntington and
the Pacific Mail, and it was a constant
menace to their transpacific tariffs, and for
these reasons they have seen fit, through
President Clarke, to make some agree
ment with the Union Pacific, the char
acter of which is unknown, for it's aboli-
ton.
In cancelng this contract Clarke,
with Gould behind him, has removed
about the last vestige of the Adams
regime on the Union Pacific, and has
brought that road into more harmonious
relations with the Southern Pacific than
has been the case during the past three
years.

would be wise to attempt to pass the bill
without amending it. There was very
general Interchange of opinion regard
ing the propriety of attempting TO secure
action on the bill in its present shape.
Notwithstanding the divergent views
held by the members present, a motion
was adopted expressing ii as the senti-
ment OF the meeting that the bill should
be passed as it came from the Senate.
This will leave the matter of remedial
legislation, in the event such shall be
deemed necessary, for future considera-
ton and legislation, which those present
thought there would be no difficulty in
securing.
Among those present at the conference
were Representatives Culberson and
Bland, both of whom expressed the
opinion that the bill as passed by the
Senate is defective. Senators Stewart
and Morgan and Representatives Bartine
and Townsend of Colorado (Repub'icansl
were present by invitation.
