The Fire Losses.
The Enormous Amount of Property
Destroyed in ISO3.

The loss by fire in the United States last
year was nearly $50, 100000. This covers
the property loss alone, and adding to this
the loss by the interruption of business
and the business failures that have result
ed from such disasters the sum total is ap-
palling. Boston's loss was $1,000. 000
nearly the whole of which fell upon the in
surance companies, and with the burning
of the Globe theatre building it appears
that 1894 has started in we'll for a repeti-
ton of lS03's disasters.

Rev. f. NJ. Frary, who has been doing a

THE TREASURY CRISIS
MIR. CARI.IsLE WANTS Az.
THORITY TO ISSUE BONDS.
He Thinks They would Have a
Ready Sale-The Treasury Bal
anCc Becoming I.ess and Less
All the TIme-The Gold Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Ian. 11,-Secretary Car
Isle proposed an issue of bonds to the
Senate Committee on Finance yesterday
afternoon. Senators Voorhees,, Harris,
and Jones of Arkansas. Vest, Sherman,
Allison and Jones of Nevada were present.
Mr.. Carlisle said he wanted authority
to issue bonds and so stated to the COM
mittec in as few words. He thinks an
issue OF bonds the simplest way to meet
the apparently approaching crisis in the
treasury. The Secretary dwclt briefly
upon the rapidly diminishing gold reserve
and stated that instead of increasing as
he had hoped the government receipts
would now. they had continued to dimin.
ish until there was coming to be a
monthly gap of about $10,000,000 be-
tween the receipts and expenditures.
He thought, therefore, that it was ex-
pedient that Congress should take steps
to provide against the evil. He asked
that the act of 1875, for the resumption
of specie payments which also author
ICES bond issue, should be so amended
as to permit the issuance for shorter
time and at lower rate of interest than
is provided for in that act. The lowest
rate OF interest named in the bonds pro-
vided for in the act is 4 per cent, and
the time for the + per cent. bonds is 30
years.
MIR. Carlisle said he thought it would
be very easy matter to sell bonds
enough to tide over the present emer.
gency-to meet the prospective deficiency
of the present fiscal vear-at three per
cent. interest and running for three,
four o, five years,
There was general Interchange OF
opinion among the members of the COM
mittee. Enough was developed to show
that it is going to be very difficult for
the committee to agree upon bill. The
meeting dispersed without.
