Ii any change is made in the in

All government obligations ex-
cept few gold certificates are pay
able by the terms of the law under
which they were issued in ''coin, "
that is, in silver or gold at the OPP
ton Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. With such power as this
placed in his hand by law why
should Secretary Carlisle lose a
moments sleep? Why should he
loose from the gold reserve single
ten dollar gold piece if he does not
want to part with it? Why does
he forget the momentous fact that
holders of government obligations
are far more interested than he
possibly can be in maintaining gold
payments in the Unitod States?
1t is a perfectly simple proposition
that within forty-eight hours after
he begins paying out silver exclu-
sively in payment of government
obligations be will be besieged by
New York bankers and govern
ment creditors to accept any ar
rangement he may suggest by
which the gold reserve may be
maintained at the maximum figure
of one hundred million dollars.
Secretary Carlisle is in position
to let the government creditors and
New York money sharks walk the
floor a while if he only knew it.

NOT ENTIRELY OPPOSED.
Carlisle Suggests an Amendment to
the Bland Bill

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary Car
Isle, accompanied by Representative
Bland, appeared before the House COM
mittee on judiciary today. 1t was de-
veloped, later, that the secretary's
visit with Bland did not mean that
the former intended to lend his influ-
ence to the passage of the seigniorage
bill. They had met casually at the
secretary's office, and as Bland was
going to the capitol, Carlisle accom-
panied him for the purpose of talking
over the Bland bill with the silver
leader. This talk brought out the fact
that the secretary was not strenuously
opposed to, the coinage of the seignior-
age, although he did not approve of
some propositions in the Bland bill hv
which this added silver coinage was to
be secured.
1t is understood the secretary point
ed out a, flaw in the first section of the
bill, which Bland himself conceded
should be modified. The section pro-
vides: THE secretary of the treasury
shall Immediately issue silver certifi
Gates in an amount equal to the seign-
forage Of the silver bullion, to wit.
S55, 156, SOL"
Carlisle pointed out that the manda-
tory provision is hardly necessary. as
the current expenses might not require
the compulsory issue of such a large
amount of silver certificates at a single
stroke.
Bland said he had appreciated this
point, and was ready to offer an amend
ment when the bill was taken M bv
which the secretary will be given
authority to issue the silver certificates
as the circumstances demands. instead
of being compelled to issue them in
blocks, Immediately.
Tracy (DemocraD, of New York, has
made a preliminary canvas of the
House, which satisfied him the seig-
niorage bill would be defeated by S to
10 votes if the full membership could be
secured; but this Tracy does not ex-
pect. He is ready, however. to raise
the point of consideration against the
bill, and this may delay the debate on

Washington, Feb. 6.-VooOrheeS' state
ment on behalf of the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate finance committee,
as to their reasons for refusing hear
ings on Wilson's BILL sets forth that
prompt and speedy action on the pend
ing tariff legislation is required at this
time by every patriotic and business
consideration. "The majority of the
committee intend that no delay shall
occur which it is possible to avoid" he
said: I'VE are determined the bust
ness men of this country of all classes
shall, at a very early day, have full
and clear insight into the laws of the
tariff taxation, which shall hereafter
prevail.
1.-The privilege of a hearing would
be unlimited as to time, and become
an instrument of delay more formid-
able than f1libustering. If one side
is to be heard, so must the other side.
Already more than a million circulars,
embracing interrogationS touching ev-
cry branch of business known to the
census of 1890 have been addressed to
all industries and abundant streams
of information are pouring in for use
in the discussion in the Senate. In
addition to this, nearly all protected
manufacturers were heard before the
committee on ways and means of the
House. The testimony there taken is
in print, and is in possession of the
Senate. The whole subject is very
familiar to American minds, and needs
no further elucidatiOn than will be in
cident to full and free debate. What
the country needs is action

Huntington Presents Great
Scheme Before the Committee.
Washington, Feb. g. The plan for
the reorganization Of the Central Pa
cific, as outlined to the Senate commit
tee on Pacific railroads today by c. P
Huntington, looks to the refunding Of
the indebtedness of that company and
the issue of bonds, payment of which
is to be guaranteed by the government
of the United States.
Huntington submitted the prdposi-
ton in the shape of a bill to be intro
duced in Congress and also made a
statement in explanation of the propo-
sition.
The bill is a very elaborate one. In
brief, it provides for issuance of bonds
of 81, 600 each, amounting to S134 900 900.
to bear 252 per cent. interest and run
125 years, or less, time at the option
of the company, payment Of the prin-
clpal and interest of the bonds to be
approved and guaranteed by the gov
eminent on the condition that the rail-
road company shall mortgage it's en-
tire property, including its interest in
branch or auxiliary lines, to the gov
eminent, as well as the present lease
to the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany which mortgage is to be held as
security for the payment Of the bonds
guaranteed by the government 1t is
stipulated, however, that the mortgage
to the government would be subject
to any prior liens and it is not to be
construed so as to prevent the railroad
company from disposing Of any of its
assets or prevent the company. from
devoting the proceeds from the lease
to the Southern Pacific company to the
payment of dividends to the stocIxhold-
ers. The company is also to be allow
ed to sell any land of the grant lands
for the satisfaction of prior MORTGAGES.
Provision is made for the issuing Of
$27. 1858, 900 in bonds, which shall be
dollar for dollar in exchange for the
| first mortgage bonds Of the Central
Pacific or Western Pacific companies.
and to which the lien of the United
States issued to those companies IS
expressly subordinated. The bonds
received in exchange for the bonds
issued under the bill are to be held 8
collateral security in the treasury. the
old bonds to be designated United
States subsidy bonds, and when they
mature the secretary of the treasury
shall cover into the treasury an amount
of new bonds equal to the maturing
bonds.
! Similar bonds are to be issued to the
amount of $36, 100000 in exchange for
bonds of the California & Oregon rail-
way and Southern Pacific railroad and
ldisposed of in the same manner as
above stated. The old bonds shall be

Denver, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Carr, wife OF
Harry L. Carr, an attorney. who was
murdered at his home on Sunday night
by supposed burglars was arrested
this afternoon, charged with completely
in the crime Bessie Therwood. Jim
Tracy, a gambler. and Ted Dolson,
friends of Mrs. Carr. were also taken
into custody.
The theory upon which the arrests
were made is that these people en-
tered into a conspiracy to make way
with Carr for the purpose Of securing
possession of his life insurance, said
to amount to $4,000. Mrs. Carr stoutly
maintains her husband was killed by
burglars.
Carr was one of the most prominent
lawyers in the city, but his life has been
very rapid and checkered. He came
here from Baltimore several years ago,
where he left wife and two children
and obtained a divzce here. His sec
ond wife committed suicide in this
city year and a half ago on account
of domestic troubles. Six months later,
he met Miss Jennie Black, who had
recently arrived from Buffalo, N Y,
in a Market street bagnio, and becom-
ing infatuated married her on January
3, 1893. Since her marriage It is we'll
known Mrs. Carr has been leading a,
dual life, making the rooms Of her
friend, Miss Therwood, a rendezvous
where she met Tracy and DOlson.

THE REVENUE BILL.
Coal and Sugar VIII Probably Be
Made DutinbIe.


Washington, Feb. 6.-The Democrat
ic members of the Senate committee
on finance lost no time in proceeding
to work on the tariff bill, after it was
decided not to grant hearings to inter
ested parties.
Jones, of Arkansas, Mills and Vest,
comprising all the members of the
subcommittee on tariff. except Voor-
hees, met today and took up the bill
with view of putting it in shape at
the earliest practicable moment for
submis kion, first to the Democratic
members and afterwards to the full
committee.
The meeting was of an exceedingly
private character and the proceedings
were not given out. Considerable pro-
gress was made with the work, owing
largely to the fact that these gentle
men had all given much attention to
the bill and had conferred among
themselves to a sufficient extent to be
familiar with one anotherS views up
on the question at issue.
They have .deteSmined to make a
few concessions on important articles,
like coal and sugar A duty will be
placed on those articles, but whether
it will be specific or ad yalorem in
character has not been determined.
If specific, the duty decided upon will,
in case of sugar. probably be 1 cent a
pound, and coal so cents or 81 a ton.
No decision has been reached on the
income tax. There are on the Demo-
cratic side some strong advocates of
striking out this part of the bill, but
so many Democratic members are IA
vorable to this tax, that it has become
evident this change will be difficult, if
not impossible, of accomplishment.
Jones, of Arkansas, is urgent in the
advocacy of an increased tax on beer,
but has not, so far met with great
encouragement at the hands of other
members Of the committee.

wool provision of the Wilson tariff bill,
began this morning.
Immediately after opening the meet
ing a committee was appointed TO
draw up a petition addressed to the
finance committee of the Senate. ask
ing for hearing on the wool schedules
of the tariff bill.
Recess was then taken pending the
report of the committee. Hon. Will
liam Lawrence, Of Ohio, president OF

The following preamble and resolu-
ton were presented TO Chairman Voor-

terest of the sheep and wool industry.
which it is believed is seriously threat
ened, even to complete humiliation,
by the proposed legislation in the Will
son bill, so-called, now before the Sem
ate finance committee; therefore,
Resolved, That this association re-
spectfully requests there be days set
apart and dates given on which we
may appear, through committee duly
appointed, to present our cause for
the consideration of the honorable COM
mittee.'
In reply to the petition, VOORHEES,
said the committee had determined to
give no verbal hearings and it would
not be possible to make an exception
in the case of the woolgrowers. He
suggested that the association submit
"a written statement.
The members will remain in the city
for a week or more and will probably
lendeavor to influence senators per-
ISOnally, being denied a formal hearing.

THEY WE'RE BADLY SHOCKED.
Republicans Evidently Want to De-
lay the Bill.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Republican
members of the Senate finance COM
mittee, through Senator Aldrach, gave
out the following statement in reply
to that of the Democratic members:
The minority of the finance COM
mittee are greatly surprised at the
character of the statement handed
them and said to have been furnished
to the press by the majority of the
committee in regard to a refusal to
give hearings on the tariff bill The
Republican members, relying on the
assurances given them by the chair
man during the session of the COM
mittee, had supposed hearing would
be given, as a matter of course, and
had so informed all parties DESTROYS Of
being heard.
The matter came up in committee
this morning on the request for a hear
ing made by members in behalf of the
farmers and woolgrowers of the United
States now present in Washington, and
upon the request of other members
in behalf of certain cotton opera
tives of Fall River and other
parties. There was no request on the
part of the Republican members
for ex-parte hearing, nor for hearings
for any special class, nor any DISPOSE
ton for nor GeSlre 10 secure Sucn re-
suits. The minority believe that all
parties, whether for or against the
bill, interested in the rates fixed by
the House bill should be heard on
matters so vitality affecting their inter
ests. The right to be heard has never
before, so far as we are aware, been
denied to the American people by
finance committee of the United States
Senate and the minority of the com
mittee believe this extraordinary ac-
ton on the part of the majority refus-
ing to give a hearing is both unwise
and unjust and should be resisted by
all parliamentary methods"

Manchester, Feb. 6.-At the annual
meeting of the Bimetallic League, a
report was presented that declared
greater progress in the movement in
Great Britain was necessary. This was
the only barrier to the adoption of a
common international standard.
Sir David Barbour said the greater
the delay in the settlement of the ques-
ton, the greater would be the obstacle
to overcome.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
the only remedy for the growing evils
is bimetallism on an international basis
at common ratio to be mutually
settled
