QUESTIONED.
The Authority of the Secretary Of
the Treasury to Use the Proceedse
or tho Bends for Any Purpose other Than
to Rcpienish the Gold Reserve. Bond
Buyers Paying for thctr Pur-
chases with Bunk Notes.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3. 5.-Every sign in.
dicates that the administration is wad-
ing deeper and deeper into water which
threatens to engulf it upon the bond
question. Republicans democrats and
populists are for once agreed in con-
gress in questioning and even disput-
ing the authority of the secretary Of
the treasury to use the proceeds Of his
first bond sale for any purpose other
than to replenish the 800, 900, 600 gold
reserve.
When Secretary Carlisle invaded the
gold reserve in order to pay current ex-
penses of the government he violated
law, in the opinion of the best financial
experts. The only excuse that has been
pleaded by the administration for this is
that the secretary acted under the press
ure of necessity in order to maintain
the credit of the government when
congress was not in session. 1t was
also urged in his defense that the de-
pletion of the gold reserve was caused
by a conspiracy to ship gold abroad in
order to force an issue of bonds for the
benefit of the money lenders of the
east Now, however, congress is in
session, and has been made, officially,
aware of the condition of the treasury.
Another complication is caused by
the fact, as announced officially Sun
day morning, that many of the buyers
of bonds have rendered in payment
therefor United States notes instead
of gold. If the secretary accepts green.
backs in lieu of gold, which he adver
tised for, his currency balance will be
increased and the gold reserve will be
but slightly benefited. The only plea
that can be made for the acceptance of
United States notes instead of gold
is that holders of greenbacks can take
them to the sub-treasury in New Yorl
and demand gold for them at any time
thus the government would be paying
out of the reserve for the redemption ot
United States notes all that it may re
ceive in limited quantities in gold OBJ
tained from the sale of bonds If this
point could be overlooked there is nc
doubt that Secretary Carlisle would
prefer to receive United State:
notes instead of gold, because there
can be no question of his right to pay
the obligations of the government il
greenbaclls, while there is every doub
of his right to use gold intended fol
the reserve fund until that fund shall
have passed the 500, 900, 900 mark
This particular feature of the bono
transaction, here for the first time Sc
forth, will play an important part il

RACINE, Wis, Feb 5-Frank Cone
has just been sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary for bigamy. Cones
case has attracted considerable atteh-
tion from legal standpoint, from the
fact that when he married his first
wife he was but seventeen years old.
After living with her for two years
they separated and a few years after
ward he again married. On account of
his being under age when first married
the judge was una BILE to deciGe whether
he could be guilty of bigamy, and he
submitted the case to the supreme
court. That court held that his being
minor did not modify the offense.

AFTER THAT GOLD.
The Voyage of Capt. Henderson to ths
SOutIi Sea.

The Voyage OF Capt. Henderson to the
South Sea.
COALITION, o., Feb. 3.-Charlcs Hen.
derson left this city Friday morning for
Philadelphia to complete the final ar
rangements of his voyage after the
South sea hidden treasure.
Henderson is the only surviving mem.
bcr of the ill-fated Lark, an account G.,
which was given three weeks ago, and
is the only living man that knows the
exact location of the $T2,0oC in
gold whicli the captain of the
Lark and Henderson, as his col.
fdant, buried on an island thirty eight
yenrs ago. 1t would be the elimination
of his happiness to again step upon the
island and reclaim the treasure. BY
day and night his very thoughts have
been dreams of hidden gold.
Like Christopher Columbus, he has
wandered bout and sought capitalists
who would listen to his story. Three
times did they promise to espouse his
cause, but thrice did they back out on
sight of the rolling waves of the
Atlantic. Once they got to sea, but
their vessel was wrecked, and the ex-
pcdition proved futile.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-In reference to the
rumors with relation to Mr.. Gladstone,
the British Medical Journal publishes
statement made by DIR. Andrew Clark
on the occasion of the circulation OF
similar rumors some time ago. DR..
Clark at that time declared that he
could never advise Mr.. Gladstone to re-
lapse into inactivity even to prolong
his life He said he did not think it
would have such an effect, but rather
the opposite. Work to Mr.. Gladstone,
he said, was not eXhaustive; on the
contrary, it was restorative. 1t is his
true stimulant and keeps him young

HELEN GOULD
Has Chance To Discipline One of Her
Charitable Institutions.

WEST PLAINS Mo-, Feb. 5.-Charges
of brutal treatment are made against
superintendent Pierce, of the West
chester Orphans home, of this city, an
institution which receives large share
of its support from Miss Helen Gould.
Theresa Zee, Il 16-year-old girl fled
from the place Thursday night to a farm
house, where she asked protection.
She was thinly clad and showed bruises
upon her shoulders, the effects, she
said, of brutal treatment. 1t is said
that one of the boys who once ran
away from the place to escape it's ter
rors now has ball and chain fastened
to one of his legs as a warning to 9TH
ers. 1t is likely the grand jury will
take action if the present inquiry fails
of correcting the alleged evils.

HATCH'S OPTION.

The Missourian VIII Introduce His Bill
Again.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-RepreSenta-
tive Hatch, of Missouri, will introduce
his new anti-option bill in the house in
few days. There will then ensue a
fight over the question of its reference,
Mr.. Hatch being anxious that it shall
be referred to the committee on agri-
culture, instead of to the ways and
means committee. He believes that he
will be successful in his desires, and
he also has strong hopes that the bill
will pass.
II am very glad that it did not pass
during the last congress" said he, ''for
it would have been made the scapegoat
for the hard times. AS it is the Sher.
man law has been made to bear the
burden. The delay, too, has given me
an opportunity to detect unsatisfac.
tory details in the old bill, and / think
l have measure that will command
universal support. 1t distinctly pro.
tects the legitimate sales, while taxing
those establishments where illegiti-
mate selling is done. In other words,
if sale is made, and the article sold is
not delivered in certain time, then
the tax is imposed.
81 have been in conference with the
commissioner of internal revenue and
with other officers of the treasury de
partment, and the bill which will be
presented will be one that can be ad
ministered. The exchanges of the
country are now ready to support the
new bill, and some of them have gone
so far as to suggest that they are ready
to pay tax, say $40 per head, upon
their membership. This will bring
them into closer relations with the
government and will tend to the pro
lection of their rights and privileges

house, and feel equally sure that the
president will sign it,
