=. Pay No Attention to the
injunctions.

f. ST. PAUL, Dec. 29.-Reeeiver Payne of
the Northern Pacific arrived in this city
this morning and is now closeted with
Receiver Cakes. No visitors have been
admitted. consequently the statement OF
the employers has not yet been presented.
1t is asserted that Payne's presence in the
city has nothing TO do with, the labor
question. but there is no doubt that the
matter will be discussed before his de-
parture.
While the receivers were going over
various matters of business, General Man
ager Kendrick arranged with the en-
ployes for hearing of grievances by the
receivers. To eacn organization will be
given hearing, the engineers being re-
ceived first at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. and the others to follow In turn.

strainIng order Of the United States Court
in regard 10 the Northern Pacific. The
order Restraints the grand officers from
ordering, advising or encouraging a strike
or even communicating with the men of
that system by any method. Sargent de-
clares. however, the order will. not affect
him in the least. He says: ~ will not
allow such an order to interfere with my
duties. Should 1 be called to ST. Paul to-
morrow would go. The men have as vet
received no definite answer from the re-
ceivers: If the answer is not satisfactory
the matter will be appealed to the court
IL the receivers are sanctioned by the
courtthe men will then be allowed to use
their own judgment about continuing In

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-President Rein
hart of the Atchison. one of the receivers
of the road. said this morning it was not
true there would be any formal meeting
of the three receivers to-day. He ex-
pected Receiver Wilson from Topeka to-
day. He also said Charles Peck OF
Detroit sent him a telegram to the
effect that the long interview said
TO have been had with him Tuesday is
entirely false. as he .'has kept and will
keep his mouth closed tightly" Receiver
J. J. McCook. who was with Reinhart in
the new office, confirmed the latter's state
ment that no meeting Of the Atchison re-
ceivers has yet been held, but the meeting

THE GOSFORD Is A WRECK.
The Recent Storm Finishes the
Destructiop of the Vessel.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 29.-The steamer
Gosford Is wreck. Captain Dan Haskell
came in ON the tug Relief this afternoon
from Colo and reports that the vessel is
past saving. The Gosford suffered great
damage during the southeaster few days
ago. The deck beams were broken and
the deck is pushing upward. The vessel
seems to be breaking in two. She is set
Ting rapidly and her masts are becoming
weak. and another storm like the last one
will.completel wreck her. In this storm
a $4,000 pumping plant on board the Cos
ford belonging 10 the tugs was lost with
little hope of recovery.
The tug Relief had a narrow escape
from being washed ashore during the
storm by heavy sea and was only saved
by the assistance of the scow San Pedro.
Alter coaling the Relief will return TO
Colo tomorrow.
The Gosford is the British ship that
was towed into Colo few weeks ago with
her cargo of coal on fire.

OUTSIDE AID IS REQUIRED.
Pending Revenue Legislation by
Congress.
POSSIBILITY OF BOND ISSUES.
Unless Measures of Relief Are
Speedily Taken There May
Be a Great Panic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The publicity
recently given of the condition of: the
treasury is causing considerable alarm
among Democratic leaders in Congress. 1t
lis. now APP paren: to them the treasury will
have to receive outside aid in order to
en- able it: TO meet current demands until
the revenue legislation now pending in
Congress is converted into law and has
had practical operation. ~.
The treasury balance is not less than
SS9,o00.00Q. and it is certain that the pay
ments TO be made In January will reduce
this balance 10y perhaps S10,000.000 or
S12.o00.000 December and January are
among the best months Of the year for
eHstoms receipts, but owing to the pre-
yailing uncertainty consequent upon the
proposed changes: in customs duties the
receipts from this source have been unusu-
ally small this. month, and are likely to be
no better in January and the months I'M
mediately following.
In his annual report Secretary Carlisle
calls attention TO this matter and earn
estly recommends the passage of an act
authorizing the issue of $500, 600, 00O In
bonds of the class authorized by the re-
sumption act at lower rate of interest,
or; the issuance of bonds in small denomi-
nations of S25 and its multiples. which
might be used in payment Of current obli-
CATIONS and to meet anticipated defcien-
cles of the.reyenues. -.
I Unless Congress speedily does some
thing in this direction it is feared the
treasury will be subjected TO great incon-
venience. and that public confidence may
be shaken to such degree as TO create a
panic.
It is probable that during the general
debate on the tariff bill, which is expected
to begin immediately upon the reassem-
bling of Congress, the Ways and Means
Committee win take up this question and
decide upon the measure in accordance
with the recommendations of Secretary
Carlisle. -
The fact that the pending revenue bill
cannot be enacted and put into operation
priuf to July 1 next, taken in connection
with.the steadily decreasing revenues, will
induce Congress to take immediate steps
toward. supplying the treasury with
money to enableit to meet deficiencies.
There is a great deal of opposition
among members of Congress TO increasing
the bonded debt, but it is probable when
the actual condition of the treasury is
fully understood, they will recognize the
necessity of borrowing money and consent
to any measure that may be agreed upon
by the committees having the jurisdiction
of this question.

A Mysterious Letter Is
Found
FLOATING IN A BOTTLE.
Signed by the Cook, Who Was
Abandoned to Die.
A SEARCHING PARTY IS FORMED.
The Man Who Was Deserted in
Idaho by the CarIin Party May
Still Be Living.

KENDRICK. Idaho, Dec 29.-This morn
ing party of three men, with two pack
horses. started for the Clearwater country
to search for George Colgate, the cook for
the Carlin party, who was deserted in the
mountains by the other members OF the
party, and it was supposed was left to die.
This party was inspired by -remarka-
BILE letter picked up in a bottle at Pene-
wawa, sixty miles below Lewiston. and
purporting to have been written by Col
gate. 1t is as follows:
FooT OF BITTER RooT MOUNTAINS, Nov.
27.-I am alive aud well. Tell them 10 come
and get me just as soon as any one finds this. /

TIL. Il am George Colgate, one of the lost Car
lin party. My legs are better and can. walk
some. Come soon. Take this to Kendrick,

these words to take me out Directthis to ST.

GATE. Good. by, wife and children.
This message was in a small bottle
corked with wooden stopper and fas-
tened to piece OF driftwood with a rag.
1t was Immediately brought to Kendrick.
Colonel Mormerile compared the sigma
ture with COlgate's autograph on the hotel
register and the likeness was found to be
wonderfully close.
Mormerile promptly offered to contribute
supplies for relief party. and three men
as quickly volunteered to make the
perilous effort. They are Charles L. PITT
man, Albert Taylor and Fred Colby The
letter in question was dated fifteen days
after the abandonment Of Colgate by his
companions.

ADDRESS TO THE KNIGHTS.
They Are Asked to Protest Against
the Proposed Bond Issue.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-General. Mas
ter Workman Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor, before leaving for home, issued an
address to the Knights of the country, ap-
pealing TO them to protest against the pro-
posed bond Issue. He quotes from the
platform of the Knights as follows: That
Understanding bonds, bills of credit or
notes shall never be issued by the Govern
ment. but when the need arises the emer-
gency shall be met by the issuance of legal
tender nou-interest- bearing money" He
asks every local assembly in the country
to discuss this plank at It's first regular
meeting 10 January. He says he calls for
this new agitation because he has letters
from the South and West saying the issue
of bonds as asked for by Carlisle would be
considered sufficient provocation to justify
call 10 arms. He deprecates such course,
and suggests that on the first attempt of
Congress to grant the authority asked the
members of the order from Maine
to California hold indignation meet
ings and send protests to their
members of Congress. He says the
issue of bonds would be an outrage and
should brand with eternal infamy every
name connected with the disreputabl
transaction. The paper continues by say
ing sum equal to the entire circulating
medium of the country is paid in interest
every six months. which means on an
average every six M onths the people must
reborrow the money from the interest
takers with new securities. Thus the CON-
pound system grows, and if not checked t.
will absorb all the wealth and leave the
laborer in abiect seryitude.
