WAsHINGroS CRY, Jan. 2S.-In the SEN
ate today Carey gave notice of two amend
ments which he intended to offer to the
house bill providing for the admission of
New Mexico into the Union. Carey's
first amendment strikes out all after the
enactment clause of the New Mexico bill,
and substitutes an omnibus bin admitting
the four territories OF New Mexico. Utah.
Arizona and Oklahoma. The state of
Oklahoma is made Identical with Indian
territory, but il is provided that nothing
in the act shall be construed to impair the
right OF persons and property now per-
tanning to the Indians of the territory, so
long as such rights remain unextinguished
by agreement between the Indians and
the United States. Carey's second amend
ment is identical with the first, save that
it omlts the territory of Arizona and is in
line with the action of the recent Republic
can caucus.
Practically the whole day session was
spent by the senate behind closed doors,
the executive session lasting from II 40 to
4 80 p. m, when the senate adjourned un-
til , o'clock Monday. The Grange of hour

Total for the week

This was the lowest aggregate for any week
since election week, yet it 500 81 IS greater
than the total for the corresponding week last
year. The disagreeable weather the past week
has tended to make trade dul.er even than it
had been, but merchants all have perfect conf
dence that il will be only a question of time
until everything begins to pick up again.
Speaking OF the general trade outlook. Angus
Mcintosh. president Of the Merchants National
bank, said Saturday:
look for very good year n every line of
business here. There is not gosng to be a boom,
and We do not want one. But there is going to
be good, healthy growth II Seattles trade.
Everything points to il, aud / seel entirely con-
hdent that it viii soon becesme manifest in

In the last issue of Br1dstreets an article ap-
peared in which the recent adv&nce in sterling
exchange in New York was accounted for By
the heavy holding OF gold by the Bank of France
and its calling in of balances r is stated that
In four years this institution has increased its
stock of gold from $20l goo 010 to- s341 900 and
now holds about one-quarter of Che gold supply
OF the world. Recently heavy siraft was begun
on the balances Paris ordinarilg maintains in
London and also on these held 81 other coun-
tries, presumably on account of Che Panama ex-
posures, ana the result was the engagemenl of
81. 10000 in gold for shipment fyom New York
the past week. Continuing, the,article SAYS:
The absence OF any decided effect ON the local
money market is still subject fsJr investigation
il not for congratuation. AS dedicated above,
the temperance of an oversappiy OF funds,
and the prevalence OF the same cow range of in
terest which in the past two rears has facili-
tated gold shipments, is a prime factor in the
matter. Commercial exports aee reduced to
such figures that the supply OF d yafts on Europe
arising from that source no logger equals the
requirements OF the demands of zhe foreign ex-
change market. Foreign investments in the
United States have practically ceased, and with
them the former active partcSp aton of the
European speculative markets n the proceed
ings OF Wall street have evaporated, and the
current is running the reverse way. In the past
TOUR years, while the excess OF merchandise and

The Panama Bribery and Pacific Mail
Subsidy to BE Investigated.

WASHINGTON CRY, JAN 2s-The house
this morning adopted resolution for in
vestigatIon of the whisky trust by the
Judiciary committee and for an investiga-
ton OF the Panama canal scandal by a
select committee of five members, which
will also be charged with an inquiry into
the contract between the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and transcontinentai
railroads
The resolution for investigation Of Pam
anna affairs provides that a special commit
tee OF i've be appointed to investigate and
report what sums of money, if any, were
expended by the Panama Canal Company
or Its promoters, directly or indirectly, for
the purpose of preventing opposition in
this country to the plans of said company
or securing acquiescence in America
thereto. and what disposition was made of
such sums and generally as 20 the situa-
ton OF affairs upon the isthmus so far as
American commerce seeking transit across
the same may be concerned; and also as
to the contracts and relations between
the Pacific Mail Company and the
Southern Pacific Company, the Trans
continental Railroad Association and
others as to contracts or other
coliusive arrangements made by said COM
panies whereby traffic by the way of the
Isthmus was suppressed or diminished,
and as to whether said steamship COM
pany, by virtue of said contracts or other
wise has been practically subjected to the
control of said railroad companies, and
whether business, which it was the design
OF this government to foster by aid
granted to said steamship company
through mail contracts or otherwise, has
been thereby diverted from the Isthmus
and the Panama Railroad Company to
such transcontinental companies, and as
TO whether such acts were detrimental to
the interests of American maritime COM
merce and the producers, manufacturers
and merchants of the United States, and,
if such business is found to exist, by what
means the same can or should be sup
pressed, and as to whether a further grant
of sums to said steamship company should
be withdrawn.
The house, IN committee of the whole,
proceeded to consider the sundry civil bill,
but little progress was made. Adjourned
to Monday
