pleasure in saying that we know OF

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. "a, 1895
The financial situation continues critical. but
there is little probability of the present admin
istration doing anything to relieve the strain.
At cabinet meeting this week Secretaries Fos-
ter and Tracy took high and patriotic ground in
favor of the issue of bonds to increase the gold
reserve, arguing that it was neither right nor
Just for this administration to turn the Treasu ~
over to the Democrats in a crippled condition d.
but Mr., Harrison and the other members of his
cabinet took q narrow partisan view of the
matter and refused to sanction an issue of bonds.
It is conceded that Secretary Foster has the au :
thority under the law of 1873 to issue bonds, but
it is not believed that he will use it as long as
Mr.. Harrison opposes it. although personally he
is in favor of it.
There is to be big fight made in the House
against the civil appropriations bill. passed by
the Senate this week. because of the Sherman
amendment thereto. authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to issue $50.C00.G00 per cent
five-year bonds for gold to increase the treasury
reserve. The fight is to be made BY the Popu-
lists and some of the free-coinage Democrats.
and if it results in the defeat of the BILL as many
think probable, an extra session will necessarily
have to be called.
The first annual convention of the Bimetallic
League of America, a free-coinage organization.
was held here this week. 1t was largely attend
ed. all of the most prominent Populists and a
number of Democrats taking part therein.
The first all-night session of the House during
the present session. was held this week. 1t was
brought about by fllibustering against the bill
providing for the use of automatic car couplers
by all interstate railroads. The bill was not
passed. but is to come up under a suspension of
the rules next week.

successfully. fought for economy in the appro-
