perly termed gold reserve" The So
called gold reserve, which was created
by Secretary Sherman under the act
OF 1875 has been entirely wiped out by
the redemption of United States notes
and the treasury notes. for which
purpose it was originally created. The
redemption of the treasury notes alone,
it is said, have been sufficiently large
to wipe out the gold reserve and the
redemptions Of the United States and
treasury notes together, up to a re-
cent period, aggregated $149,OOO,O00.
This vast amount of notes is not
retired but is re-issued. If this theory
lis carried to its legitimate conclusion
it is held the government has not
been using the gold reserve for the
payment of current expenditures, but
has been merely drawing on its stock
|of assets represented by, gold. 1t is
said certain figures, bearing out the
deductions above referred to, have
been prepared for the use of Secretary
Carlisle, and he will shortly issue a
statement on the subject.

WOULD BE MERELY TEMPORARY.
Doubts, However, If an Injunction
VIII be Issued.

Washington, Jan. s19.-The dispatch
announcing the threatened injunction
by the Knights of Labor against Secre-
tary Carlisle to restain him from issu-
ing the $50, 900 bonds was taken to
the treasry department this afternoon
and shown to Secretary Carlisle.
He declined to says anything what
ever on the subject for publication.
Other officials of the department were
not surprised on learning the contents
of the dispatch. The feeling of the
Knights of Labor and labor unions
generally on the bond question is
known to be unfavorable, as was
shown by their proposing a resolution
against it. The officials unite in the
opinion that the secretary has nothing
more than a temporary delay to fear
from the injunction proceedings, and
even this they did not think in the
least degree probable. 1t is believed
no delay would be occasioned by these
threatened legal proceedings, as even
a temporary injunction, doubtless,
would be denied. The Populists of the
House know nothing about the in
junction against the bond issue.
Jerry Simpson says he will have no
hand in it. but will be glad if it is
true.
Representative Culbertson, of Texas,
chairman of the judiciary committee
says there is no doubt of the power
of Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds
for the purpose.
The general opinion among the law
yers of the House is the proceedings
would have no standing in court

Blocton. He had a terrible battle at
Goethe, ten miles from Pratt city,

of seven convicts who escaped from the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company's
stockades at Pratt city last night
Sheriff Dexter was killed, and Jim
Davis, one of the convicts, fatally
wounded. Two other convicts were
captured. The posse is in pursuit of
the rest. The convicts had procured
a lot of dynamite with which to blow
down the iron gates to the mines and
kept the guards at bay. One cartridge
struck near Guard Patton and explod-
ing inflicted fatal wounds. The con-
victs also used two shotguns and a
pistol mysteriously secured, to advan-

Little Seance.

tons in a contested election case, was
ordered printed.

was then resumed, the pending amend
ment being that of johnson of Ohio,
placing steel rails on the free list.
Wilson asked unanimous consent
that three hours be set aside next Mon
day for the consideration of amend
mentS to the sugar schedule. Agreed
to.
Dalzell then proceeded with his
speech, begun yesterday He began
by recapitulating the charges that he
made against Johnson. He had shown,
he said, that Johnson manufactured
certain kinds of street railway rails,
behind the protection of 100 patents
and wanted railway rails to go on the
free list; that he coerced his employees
in the face of winter and starvation
into accepting wages of one-third cash
and two-thirds scrip; that he made
an untrue statement and had altered
the stenographer's notes; and at last
his script had been haWked about the
streets of Johnstown and had been
bought at a discount by a relative of
johnson before it was redeemed at
par.
Johnson replied to Dalzell in semi
humorous vein. He JohnsonO did not
claim to be a philanthropist.
Johnson's amendment to put steel
rails on the free list was lost, 70 to 100

IN THE INTERESTS OF SILVER.
A Plan That viii Soon be Submitted
to Those Interested.

London, Jan. 19-The correspondent
of the Standard at Berlin says: Those
persons interested in promoting a new
monetary conference have prepared a.
plan for submission to the governments
most closely concerned with the silver
question. The Plan will propose that
the United States France, England
and Germany form a monetary union
upon the following basis:
The United States to buy and use
for currency purposes 100000 600 silver
yearly and France, representing the
latin union, purchase 10000, 900 francs
worth; England and Germany to with
draw all gold coinage and paper money
under the value of a pound sterling
and buy f700O worth of silver yearly
in the meantime, and issue notes under
a pound in value against the full
amount of the deposit for silver coin
age; India to resume the unlimited
coinage of silver.
The price of silver is to be fixed by
the countries mentioned at, several of
the persons interested say, 4d per
ounce above the Indian rupee price, and
to be alterable only at the beginning of
each year.
If the average London price of silver
falls at any time 10 per cent. below
the convention price, members of the
union are to have the option to with
draw and dissolve the union.
This plan will be accompanied by a.
long series of remarks and comments
which will include a document at
tempting to prove the acceptance of
the proposed regulations by England
and Germany would be perfectly COM
patible with their maintaining a gold
standard, and attempt to explain the
height of the convention price of sill
yer by the necessity of offering the
owners of silver mines profit sufi-
cient to induce them to limit the out
