CARLISLE'S POWERS.
No Special Bond Legislation Con-
sidered Necessary.
Pg2LIo CREDIT NOT ENDANGERED.

The Secretary of tho Treasury Has Ample
Authority, Under tho Act of Jan. II,
1875. TO strengthen His Coin Reserve
to Any Extent Required.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA second meet
ing Of the senate finance committee was
held yesterday afternoon for the purpose
Of considering Secretary Carlisle's letter
and bond bill. After the conclusion OF the
meeting Senator Voorhees,, as chairman Of
tho committee, handed to an Associated
Press reporter the statement given belows
In making 1t he said he did not assume to
represent the views of the entire commit
tee. and yet he knew of no opposition in
the committee to the opinions expressed.
He submitted his statement TO the full
committee before giving it to the public.
1t Is as follows:
"The en- barrassed condition Of the treas
ury and the necessity for prompt action
for Its relief are fully realized. There Is
not the slightest ground, however, for ap-
prehension that the public credit will
suffer or be endangered, for the reason
that ample authority already exists by
law for the secretary Of the treasury to
strengthen his coin reserve to any extent
required and to meet every demand that
can be Iegitimately made
"The power Of the secretary for the issue
Of bonds needs nothing beyond what Is
given by the act Of Jan. IA, 1875. The only
desirable object to be attained by new
legislation at this time on that subject is
to make a shorter time bond, with lower
rate Of interest, and yet the secretary
feels assured that he can negotiate bonds
issued under the act Of 1875, running
only ten years, on practically aper cent.
basis.
''It seems, therefore, that 1t will be
wiser, safer and better for the financial
and business interests of the country to
rely upon existing law with which to
meet the present emergency, rather than
TO encounter the delays and uncertainties
always incident to protracted discussion
In the two houses Of congress. This view
of the condition of the TREASURY admits of
but little II any delay, and Of no uncer-
tainty at all in the final action to be
taken"

NEW LONDON. Conn, Jan. 1.-THE new
cruiser Montgomery had a preliminary
trial yesterday over the official course
The result justified all the enthusiastic
predictions which have been made con-
cerning her. The run was from of Bart
lett's reef, New London harbor, to Hor-
toms point, distance Of nearly flfty-two
miles. The vessel made an average Of IS. 90
knots per hour, but for several minutes an
average of 1913 knots per hour was at
tanned. The Montgomery will doubtless
exceed 10 knots on her official trip

You think you have hard times here,

Ear above the deplorable condition that
Prevails In Australia. There are several
causes for this depression, but perhaps the
strikes had more to do with it than any
thing else.
There were three bad strikes, and each
one affected most vitality the financial
status OF the people. They were the
miners, the maritime and the shearers'
strikes. The miners strike paralyzed the
mining industry to such an extent that it
has not yet recovered, and will not for a
long time. Mines are closed down all
ever the country. Miners are out of en-
ployment, their families are suffering, be-
ing almost entirely destitute of the neces-
mites OF life. The maritime strike brought
eommerce with other countries to stand
Sill, thereby striking fatal blow at the
general business interests.
'I'he strike OF the shearers was, per-
hsps, the worst Of all. Wool growing is
the chief industry OF Australia, and any
thing that Affects 1t is felt generally
throughout the country Tho shearers in
many places banded together and camped
out on the hills. They destroyed property,
killed the sheep. and did an incalculable
amount Of damage. In several instances
ehe militia was called ont to quell distur-
hsnces but fortunately there were no con-
hiets resulting In bloodshed."
