THE BOND PROPOSITION.
Wall Street Agitated Over the Cues



NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Wall street is
still agitated over the bond question to-
day. The news agencies give extended
interviews with prominent bankers and
operators, but regard the following state
mont of Assistant Treasurer Roberts as
the most important: "In my Judgment
no bonds will be issued by this Admins
tration.'
The WdIl-Street Journals Washington
special says: 1t is understood Carlisle
favors the proposition introduced in the
Senate by Sherman authorizing the issue,
if it should become necessary to issue
3-per-cent bonds. Carlisle has doubts
about the authority of the Secretary to
issue bonds under the existing law, and
for that reason is anxious that authority
should be given about which there could
be no doubt. Carlisle says he does not
think an extra session of Congress will
be called earlier than October.
FAvoRABLY REPORTED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Senate
Finance Committee has decided to report
favorably Sherman's proposition for an
issue of five-year S-per-cent. bonds to
maintain the gold reserve.
Sherman reported back to the Senate
from the Committee on Finance the
amendment suggested by himself some
days ago with reference to the issue of
United States 3-per-cent. bonds. The
committee directs that it be offered as
part of the sundry civil bill.
FOSTER WILL NOT ISSUE BONDS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Secretary of
the Treasury Foster returned from New
York this morning. He said there was
not now any probability of his issuing
bonds to build up the reserve fund. He
felt he could continue to get all the gold
necessary to meet foreign shipments for
some time. The financial world of New
York was a unit in the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law as a remedy
for gold exports.

THE NORTH AMERICAN COMPANY
Denied Permit to Run Steamers to
Panama.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Collector of
Port Phelps to-day received instructions
from Washington that no permit shall be
issued to the North American Steamship
Company to charter and place foreign
ships on the route between this city and
Panama. The ground for the decision is
that no authority exists to allow such
vessels to engage in the coastwise trade
of the United States. c. II. Haswell, Jr..
an official of the company, says the de-
cision will make no difference with the
plans of the company, which is organ

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN,

CINCINNATI (Ohio), Feb. 1.-THE food
in the river is becoming a matter of con-
Germ to people in the lower part OF Gin
clnnati. The water at o'clock reached 81
feet IL inches, and is rising at the rate OF
q inches an hour. About 1890 wharf
boat anchored at the foot of Main street
sprung leak, and sank in about an hour.
1t is thought all can be saved. The
water entered cellars on Water street.
The tenants of Rat row and Sausage row
are seeking higher quarters. Merchants
in the lower part of the city are taking
precautions to guard against damage by
flood. The water has reached danger
Gus stage, and if it continues to rise the
damage will be much more serious than
1t has been I'D to the present time. The
rain, it seems, however, is not general,
and up-river points report no rise, so the
chance for big flood is not very great.

KANSAS LEGISLATIVE TROUBLE.
Conflict Between Members of the Rival
Houses.

hOuSG5-
TOPEKA, Feb. 14.-This afternoon. by
order of the Republican House, b. C.
Rich, Clerk OF the Populist House, was
arrested in restaurant by the Sergeant
alarms of the Republican House, on the
charge of contempt OF court The Popu-
lists at once rallied, forcibly released him
and escorted him to the Governors office.
During the conflict two Republicans
We're knocked down and several men on
each side badly bruised by blows of fists.
The encounter occurred in the very CEN
ter OF the city, and created the greatest
excitement.
Later Rich was triumphantly escorted
into the hall of the House of Representa-
| tives, his wife holding one arm and Rep
resentative Wordsworth of Atchison the
other. His appearance IN the hall was
greeted with cheers and clapping of
hands.
Speaker Dunsmore, in calling the house
| to order referred to the street encounter,
laying all the blame on the Republican
House and defending the action of the
Populists. After the roll was called the
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted
WHEREAS, An attempt was made to
arrest the Chief Clerk of this House by
an organized mob calling themselves the
RepuDIlcan House of Representative
but which we believe in reality to be the
Santa Fe Railroad; therefore be it
ReSotUed, That we, the legally organ
! lied and constitutional House of Repre-
sentatIyes, proclaim to the State of Kan
sas that the mob was foiled and "our har
is still there.n
Later the Republicans swore out war
rants before Justice Chesney charging
Representative Ryan and Reading Clerk
S. NJ. Scott with assault and battery, and
a Constable appeared in the hall to arrest
them. Ryan consulted with friends and
announced that he would neither 90 with
| the Constable nor give bond for his APP
pearance. The Constable fingered grim
and determined, and announced that he
would make the arrests even if he had to
summon posse.
The Constable, finding an attempt to
make the arrest while such great excite
ment prevailed might precipitate serious
| trouble, made no attempt to serve the
warrants. and will not until tomorrow,
| and may not then unless the situation
Gains down materially.
The Republicans, however, are de-
! termined to effect the arrest of the Popu-
list Clerk, and the Populists are deter
mined to defend him againt arrest.
Speaker Douglass this afternoon issued
a call for volunteers to serve as assistant
Sergeants-at-Armst to aid the Sergeant-at-
Arms in effecting Rich's arrest. At 10
o'clock tonight $50 men had responded
to the call and taken the oath of Office.
Populist Speaker Dunsmore swore in
twenty assistant sergeants to act as body
guards for Chief Clerk Rich. If trouble
results the Government announces its
intention of calling out the militia to dis
perse the Republican mob and maintain
Deace.
