sovERE1GN,s STATEMENT.

OF the Grounds On Which the Action Will
be Taken-Mr. Cnrlisle's Authority De-
MED.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Jan. l9.--General
Master Workman Sovereign was seen
by an Associated Press reporter to-
night regarding the proposed Injunction
proceedings against Secretary Carlisle.
cit may be good deal like mouse
tackling a lion," he said to the reporter,
"but We are fixing to.do it. -
The petition praying for an injunc-
ton to restrain the secretary OF the
treasury of the United States from issu-
ing bonds in the sum of S50,000,000 or
will be drawn here by Judge Cole, will
be sworn to by Mr. Sovereign and sent
to Washington to be be filed in the
United States circuit court of the Dis.
trict of Columbia the first of next week.
@ Mr.. Sovereign and his attorneys deny
to Mr.. Carlisle the authority to issue
the bonds proposed. The following
specific claims are made by the persons
seeking tho injunction against the bond
issue: There is nothing in the law pro-
viding for reserve fund at this time in
the United States treasury of 500, 0,000,-
900.
The fact that the secretary of the
treasury is to offer for sale a greater
amount eff bonds than the so-called
legal reserve, indicates that he is not
offering them for the purpose of re-
demption, and it further shows
that he has not offered them
for sale for any of the purposes
specified inthe law OF. J anuary II, 1875.
1.-The resumption act. The secretary of
the treasury has no authority to offer
bonds for sale for any purpose. There
is no deficit In the United States re-
serve fund, /, for the silver at atpresenti in
the treasury is more than double the
soScalled deficit in the eoTcalled legal
reserve. s
here is no such thing as "a special

oARL1s1E WILL NOT TALK.

Opinion That nm Injunction Will DO NO
More Than Delay tho Bonds-Siivcr
Leaders Make n Point.
WASHINGTON, D. &C., Jan. l9.-The
Baltimore dispatch announcing
threatened injunction by the Knights
of Labor against Secretary Carlisle to
restrain him from issuing $5o,00o,00o in
bonds, as contemplated by him, was
taken to the treasury department this
afternoon and shown to the secretary.
Mr.. Carlisle declined to cay anything
whatever on the subject for publica--
ton. Other officials of the department
to whom the dispatch was shown
were not surprised on learning
its contents. The feeling. OF the knights
of Labor and of labor unions generally
on the bond question was known to be
zunfayorable, as had been shown by the
passage of resolutions against it. Tho
officials were unit in the opinion that
the secretary had nothing more than q
temporary delay to fear from injunction
proceedings, and even this they did not
think in the least degree probable.
The secretary consulted tho attorney
general, the law officer of the govern
ment, and the President before issuing
the bond call.
Strong sentiment is expressed among
the silver leaders of the house against
the "gold clause" Of Secretary Carlisle's
notice of q bond sale. Representative
Bland, (Dem. No. says that it is the
first time he has ever seen an official
statement declining to accept silver or
any of the various forms of legal tender
and requiring payment in gold only.
Some of the anti-silver men say that
the bonds are issued under the resump-
ton act of 1875, which provides that
bonds should be sold for "coin," but
silver was demonetized, so that it could
not be included in the meaning OF the
word "coin."
Aside from the legality of the gold
clause, the silver men say it's against
public policy to make public discrimi-
nation against one of tie m money metals
now in use, and that the effect of the
secretarys action is to tend to send
gold to premium and to disturb the
parity between gold and silver coins.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-At the
opening of the session of the house the
report of the committee on elections in
favor of O'Neill. the contestant in the
contested election case of O'Neill VS..
Joy.w presented and ordered printed.
The consideration of the tariff bill was
then resumed. the pending amendment
being that of N1r. Johnson (Dem., Ohio)
to place steel rails on the free list.
MIR. Dalzell was recognized to proceed
with his speech begun yesterday. Mr..
Dalzell began by recapitulating the
charges he made against Mr.. Johnson.
He had shown, he said, that Hutchinson
manufactured certain kinds OF street
railway rails behind the protection OF
patents and wanted railway rails to go
on the free list; that he coerced his en-
ployes in the face of winter and starva-
ton into accepting wages one-third cash
and two-thirds scrip; that he made an
untrue statement and had altered the
stenographer's notes, and lastly that
the scrip had been hawked about the
streets of Johnstown and had been
bought in at a discount by a relative OF
Mr.. Johnson before it was redeemed at
par.
humorous vein. He said he had notified
Dalsell that he was going to attack the
steel rail pool so that he might be pre-
pared, but so doing, making defense,
be made a personal attack upon him
(Johnson). He (Johnson) did not claim
to be philanthropist.
The Johnson amendment to put steel
rails on the free list was lost, 70 to 100.
When the vote came only about forty
Democrats voted with their colleagues
of the committee while seventy-nine
voted with Johnson.
HOT SHOT.
In the course of the debate Mr.. Dali
zell said: "I desire to say further that
I do not believe he (Johnson) pays
higher wages than his neighbors. I
have this on the auth ority of the presi-.
dent of the Cambria iron works. When
all else is gone" said Mr.. Dalzell, zone

same category, they are both robber

cally, "has waxed fat on the watered

of patents-all this, I suppose, can be
done outside of this chamber without

so long as have voice here" he con-
cluded. "no one shall be allowed to
masquerade as phiianthropist, and
with shameless and unblushing effrontry
propose to strike down rival interest"
The Republicans applauded Mr.. Dalzell
o.the echo when he sat down and then
the members hocked over to the Demo-
cratic side to listen to Mir. Johnson's
reply to tho bitter personal assault OF
his antagonist.
