WAsHrEoroN CrrY. Feb. N-The Ha-
waiian treaty, 1t 10 thought. 10 dead for
this session. This is reluctantly conceded
even by its friends. The action of the sem
ate in refusing to 60 into executive session,
though the action doubtless had some
reference to the Hanchet circuit Judge
nomination, is also accepted as .
conclusive indication that the treaty
will b sheived for the bal
ance Of the session. The treaty
matter can, Of course, be taken up in the
extra session, which will convene imme-
diately after the present congress dies, but
unless some marked change occurs there
is believed to be no prospect of action
upon 1t during the life of the present ad-
ministrasion. It 10 possible that the
knowledge of its disposition on
the part OF the senate had some re-
hex influence on the action of the house. a.
there was TO have been meeting of the
ways and means committee of the house
today to consider its resolution. but it did
not take place. One Republican commit
teeman said that his colleagues were unit

WAsHfNeros CRY. Feb. 25.--Secretary
of the Treasury Foster ~as before the
WAYS and means committee of the house
this morning explaining the condition of
the treasury. He said there was no rea son
to fear bankruptcy. but admitted that the
situation demanded serious consideration.
He believed that the available cash in the
treasury at the close of the IFS
cal year would be only $l7,0oO 600.
instead Of $40 900, 000 as he estimated
in his report. because he did not
take into consideration the payment OF
the Choctaw claim of S. COZ. 600. On the
present basis of revenue he estimated
there would be deficit in the treasury at
the end of the fiscal year 1894. He believed
that $50, On.u more revenue should be
raised, but he did not say whether bv
taxation or the issue Of bonds. He also
thought the gold reserve should
be raised to $i25. 0oo.oo Ii is
stated on reliable authority that Secretary
OF the Treasury Foster has bonds ready
for immediate issue. and that he has a
contract with Drexel. Morgan & Co. to
take So. OO0. 600 of them and pay for them
in gold whenever necessary to keep the
gold reserve intact. This action is under.
stood to have been taken after consulta-
ton with the incoming treasurer, Carlisle.

"where sank your ship2" by tempests tossed,
On a shore Of amber and pearls twas lost.

And the rainbow CLEANS that are round 1t

"where sank your ship" Oh wan, white face
Does she know not, then, her lost loves placer

Her ship lies frozen in arctic ice.
