GLADSTONE TO RESIGN.
Pail Mall Gazette Says That No viii lmmsdl-
atsly % So.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Pail Mall Gazette
today under big heads and in double .leaded
lines has the following;
1--WE have reason to know, from an au-
thority which we are unable to disclose, but
in which we have every confidence, that
Mr.. Gladstone has decided to resign almost
Immediately"
The Gazette adds: "We understand the
letter anne unciug this resolution will be sent
to the Queen by Mr.. Gladstone before the
re-opening of Parliament. Gladstones de-
cisicn is due to sense of his advanced
age and to the great strain to which he was
subjected during the late arduous session
of Parlisment. He is also deeply disap-
pointed because Of the rejection Of the
Home Rule bill and the opposition to the
parish councils bill by the House Of Lords.
Domestic pressure also had considerable in
fiuence In determining bis mind At last.
A reporter showed the Pail Mall Gazette
article this afternoon to Gladstone's secre-
tary. He declared he knew nothing about
the report that Gladstone would shortly re-
sign his office. He added that he would
telegraph the statement to Mr.. Gladstone,
who is now in France.
Mr.. Gladstone has denied the truth of the
report.

which it was not intended, il in violation
both of the letter and q il of the constitu-
ton itself.
"ln my opinion, bonds issued and sold
by the treasury department under the exist
irg circumstances will be illegal and will
convey NO constitutional or lawful obligA-
tion. There has not been suggestion from
the administration that any measure of
legislation is needed for the relief Of the
treasury, On the contrary, the secretary
of the treasury in his annual report, (the
President being silent upon the subject)
said he estimated the probable def it to be
$2S, 900, 900 at the close of the year, and If
Congress concurred in that view of the
situation, it would he incumbent on it to
make some provieion for raising that
amount by taxation or otherwise"
German said there was no question but
what it was necessary at this time to relieve
the treasury department. Hoar asked Cor
man why he had not introduced on the
Democratic side of the chamber joint res
olution or bill, authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to issue bords. After the
question had been pressed upon him, Cor
man answered that the latitude of debate
allowed 10 the Senate there could be no ac-
ton in time to meet the difficulty, while the
discussion might be productive of much in
jury.
The discussion then took political turn,
the principal question being - to which
political party was most responsible for the
deficiency in the treasury. VOORHEES, said !:
1.-The power to issue bonds is ample, spe-
ci6c, unquestioned and clear. If hereafter
somebody should raise the question a. TO
the use to be made Of the money, it may
then be considered. hold with the secre-
tary that he can use this money in any way
that seems to him proper, conducive to the
general purpose of the act of 1879.
Referring to HOAr's question why the
Democratic majority did not introduce .
bill or joint resolution giving authority to
issue bonds, Voorhees, said the party in
power was not responsible to HOar. At
the proper time and in the proper way it
would take care of the republics credit.
Hawley closed the days discussion by an
impassioned arraignment of the Democratic
party for the mischief wrought by the pro-
posed change Of tariff laws at this time.
The bond resolution went over without ac-
ton till tomorrow, and after short execu-
tive session the Senate adjourned.

IN THE SENATE.
Administration and It's Bond Issue Hauled
Over the Goals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The Vice-Presi-
deat laid before the Senate Stewards reso-
luton declaring the secretary of the treas
ury was not legally authorized to issue and
sell bonds. Allen made an argument in re-
sponse to and contradictory of that of Sher-
man, yesterday. Patt while he was
speaking, asked: sis not the secretary Of
the treasury just as much bound to redeem
treasury notes, presented now, as he was
before?
Allen-He is not, under any act of Con-
gress now in existence.
Allen claimed that there is no act of Con-
gress which by any act Of contortion could
De construed as empowering the secretary
of the treasury to redeem notes below the
limit of $500 900, 900. He contended that
the act of 1873 was intended to prevent the
redemption of legal tender notes-g.een-
backs.
Allison stated that the law Of 1873 af-
fected only SAC, 6,O00, 900 Of greenbacks.
The law of 1875. ~ understood by those
who framed it, was $500, 900 900, to be re-
issued from time to time when redeemed.
Its only efforts was to make the act of 1875
more clear on that point and establish the
limit of greenbacks at s346 900 900 instead
SoUO,OUO,oUo.
Allen asserted the law did not bear the
construction given it by Sherman and Alli-
son. Allison asserted that If the reserve
fund was in the treasury, it was there for
the purpose Of redeeming greenbacks, and
no other purpose. Allen asserted that the
reserve fund was not the result Of any act
of Congress but mere caprice of Sherman
when he was secretary of the trea.u,y.
Hoar said it seemed to him that the action
propo,ed to be taken by the head Of the
treasury department, transferred to the
se cretary of the treasury the entire consti
tu,ional power of borrowing money ON the
credit of thu United States. Said Hoar:
1.-THE constitution declares that the power
t, borrow money on the credit OF the gov
eminent is together in Congress and there
shall be no payment Of money out of the
treasury except on an approp. istion BY
Congress. The hundreds of millions re-
quired for the reserve fund we're appropri-
ated by Congress to that purpose alone.
The application of il to purposes for which
no other new appropriation has been made,
or the application of it to purposes for
