carpets being no greater than upon the
yarns from which they are woven.
"We make this. protest not only as
manufacturers, but also on behalf of
the labor employed in these industries,
including under normal business con-
ditions no less than 100000 persons.
AS manufacturers we deplore contro-.
versies with labor and contemplate with
profound regret the establishment Of
conditions which compel the most radi-
cal re-adjuatment of the present scale of
wages. Adequate help will be difficult
to obtain at the wages this bill will
compel, unless there shall be CORES
ponding reduction of wages in all lines
of industry, both manufacturing and
otherwise.
Eve appeal to the patriotism of an
American Congress to prevent the con-
summation of this national misfortune,
and we appeal to our fellow citizens in
every walk in life to secure our. protest
against legislative act Of extirDation."

Washington To-Day.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-The ma
tional republican executive committee
will convene in this city tomorrow
morning. Nearly all the members are
now in the city, and there promises to
be large attendance. Chairman Car
ter said tonight that the committee
would take up several matters which
were unfinished last year. The COM
mittee will also consider the proposi-
ton of establishing permanent head
quarters and the character of perma-
nent work to be carried on. Mr.. Car
ter does not think these headquarters
will be located in this city.
On account of the fact that the head
quarters of the national congressional
campaign committee are located here,
it is believed if the national committee
decides to establish q permanent Office,
it will be opened in New York. The
committee will also consult with mem
bers of the congressional committee az
to the extent to which the committees
can work together in the congressional
campaign of next year.

Intervention in Eawaii
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-The
principal event in the senate to-day was
the speech of Senator Davis, of MINES
sofa. in support OF the policy of non
intervention in Hawaiian affairs.
Senator PETER, Kansas, complained
that there had been unreasonable delay
in beginning the construction of the
public building at Salina, Kansas. Ap-
preparation had been made four or FIVE
years ago and yet the plans had not yet
been begun
Senator Call thought it was import
ant that all public buildings to be con-
structed should be begun as soon as
possible in order to give employment
to the millions of unemployed Amer
lean laborers now in actual need and
distress.
Senator Dolph did not think it was
the duty of the governmental provide
for general destitution. He referred to
the communication of Governor Pen
noyer, of Oregon, to the president on
New Years day.
1.-THE people of my state" he said,
s'are indignant and have adopted reso-
lutions denying the statements of the

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, at this
juncture called up Senator Frye's
Hawaiian resolution. The political his
tory for the past forty years was re-
viewed in some detail by the senator.

Senator Davis, "that the revolutionists
expected to have trouble, that they did

Bowden Offers to Bet that the Govcrnor
Won't Interferc-A Statement to Ticket
Holders.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. l0.-Noth-
ing has been heard yet from Governor
Mitchellin regard to the statement sent
out by the Duval Club last night. Con-
sequently the feeling is general that the
battle will not be interfered with. j.
q. T. Bowden tonight offered to bet
81, 900 that the governor would. within
week. throw down his hand, and de-
clare that he would have nothing more
to do with the affair. The wager was
not accepted.
Anumber of boxes were disposed Of
to-day, the purchasers being mostly out
of town people. Tomorrow the Duval
Club will apply for q license under the
new city ordinance permitting boxing
contests. There is no doubt of its being
granted. Word will also tomorrow be
sent to Corbett and Mitchell that the
club is ready to deposit the $4,000
purse with the referee, as agreed upon
in the articles.
Referee Kelly has not been heard
from officially, and the club members
say that they don't know his where
abouts. There is no doubt, however,
that he will show up at the appointed
time. Corbett will be in Jacksonville
tomorrow night to attend the theatre.
The champion considers the proclama-
ton of the club to be the best move
that could have been made.
Mitchell on the contrary thinks it
rather strong and says that he fears the
consequences.
The Duval Club to-day supplemented
ita stotamept of last NIGHT with tho fol-
lowing card to the public:
"There have been great many in
quiries at our Office from outside par
ties as to the return of money paid into
this club for reserved seat tickets,
caused by the doubt and uncertainty of
the ability of the Duval Athletic Club
in bringing off the Corbett-Mitch-
ell contest. We assure the pub
lie generally, and those wishing
to procure good seats in advance that
unless we bring to successful issue
the contest every cent paid into this
club for tickets will be returned to par
ties holding certificates from us. The
money which we are receiving for this
purpose is being deposited daily in the
national bank of Jacksonville in separate
and distinct account other than the one
by the club in making its necessary ar
rangements for the purse and otherwise.
In order to assure the public of abso-
lutte security for the safe return of their
money paid for tickets we are willing
they shall deposit their money in any
reputable bank in the city of Jackson
vile to be paid to the order of the club
the day after the contest takeHaplace.
Upou the receipt of such voucher of
such deposit this club will issue q GER
tificate exactly as if the money had
been entrusted to our keeping"

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 10.-Secretary
Carlisle proposed an issue OF bonds to
the senate committee on finance this
afternoon. Senators Voorhees,, Harris,
and Jones, of Arkansas; Vest, Sherman,
Allison, and Jones, of Nevada, were
present. 1t was supposed that the sec
retary would have proposition formu-
lated to present, and such proved to be
the case. Mr.. Carlisle said he wanted
authority to issue bonds, and so stated
to the COMMITTEES in as few words. he
thinks an issue of bonds necessary to
meet the apparently rapid approach OF
the crisis in the treasury.
The secretary dwelt upon the rapidly
diminishing gold reserve, and stated
that instead of increasing as he had
hoped the government receipts would
do they had continued to diminish
until there was a monthly gap of about
ten millions between receipts and ex-
penditures. He thought, therefore.
that it was expedient that Congress
should take steps to provide against the
evil He asked that the act Of 1870 for
the resumption of specie payments,
which also authorized bond issue,
issuance for shorter time at q lower rate
OF interest than is provided in that act.
The lowest rate of interest named in,
the bonds provided for in the act is
per cent and time for the 4 per cent
bonds thirty years. Mr.. Carlisle said
the councry would not justify the secre-
tary of the treasury in taking advantage
OF this authority because United States
government bonds could be disposed of
at much lower rate of interest and for
n far shorter time. He thought it would
be very easy matter to sell bonds
enough to tide over the present urgency
to meet the prospective deficiency of
the present fiscal year-at3 per cent in
terest and running for three, four or
five years. Enough was developed to
show that it is going to be very difficult
for the committee to agree upon bill.
The meeting dispersed without taking
any action

ST.. JOSEPH. Mo-, Jan. 10.-For the
second time within few months this
city has boon the scene OF an attempted
train robbery.
The Burlington "Eli." leaving this
city at 6:35, was held up five miles
east of st. Joseph by five masked men.
The train was stopped by torpedoes
being placed on the track and red
lantern swung across the road in regula-
ton custom. As soon as the train
stopped three of the robbers boarded
the engine with drawn revolvers and
ordered the engineer and fireman to
accompany them to the express car and
order tho express messenger to open
the door. This they did, and upon be-
ing ordered to open the door, the ex-
press messenger did SO, when he was
covered with rifle in'the hands of one
of the men.
Three others with revolvers il each
hand had entered the car and the mes
senger was ordered to open the safe.
He did so. The robbers then took all
there was in the safe, which amount is
claimed by the railroad officials not to
exceed $50. This statement is not cred-
1ted here, however, as SuperlntendenE
Hohl, of the Burlington road, and W.
II. Mosely, OF the Adams Express Com
pany, have been in consultation with.
the sheriff and chief of police, and
posse is now being organized.
One of the robbers was a slim man
and wore light brown suit. The other
was short man and wore black suit.
The engineer and other trainmen were
unable to give a description of the other
three men. all the trainmen think the
robbers were amateurs, as they were
nervous all during the affair, and ap-
peared much excited.
P. n. Houlahan, superintendent of
the Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad,
with headquarters at Brookfeld, has
offered reward OF 500 for the arrest of
each ofthe robbers if captured before
tomorrow evening.
When the train stopped q brakeman
went back TO flag the st. Louis train
following. and when he was several hun
dred yards down the track he asserts he
heard shots fred and suddenly the
train pulled out. He secured horse
and came to this city and gave the
alarm. He says the robbers entered the
mail and express cars and took all the
registered mail in the former and all
the packages in the safe of the latter.
