been satisfied that such an emergency
has heretofore existed as would clear
ly justify their issue.
But necessity for relief at this time
| is SO urgent, and the prospect OF
material Improvement in the financial
condition of the government SO profile
NAUTICAL that, unless authority to issue
and sell shorter bonds or other obli-
cations, bearing a lower rate of in
terest than that specified in the exist
ing law is granted by Congress at a
very early day I shall feel constrained,
by my sense of public duty, to exer-
else the power already conferred, to
the extent, at least, of providing an
adequate coin reserve. If this action
should be taken, Congress ought,
nevertheless, to provide promptly for
the deficiency in the revenues during
the current fiscal year, and [ will,
from time to time, advise your COM
mittee of the condition of the treasury
in order that this subject may receive
due consideration.
I have the honor to be, yours very
respectfully ,t-
J. G. CARLISLE, Secretary.
The House of Representatives, by a
rule adopted some time ago, has dedi-
Gated all it's time until the 18th of the
present month to the consideration of
the Wilson tariff bill, and, therefore,
lit would have been impossible for the
secretary of the treasury to procure
any legislation in that body before that
time and for this reason Carlisle
thought it necessary to make applica-
tion first to the committee on finance
OF the Senate, which he hopes will act
upon the measure in time. to provide
the necessary means for the govern
ment.
The bill referred to in the foregoing
letter is as follows: can act to amend
section 8. of an act to provide for the
resumption of specie payments, APP
proved January A. 1875. Be it enacted
| by the Senate and House of Representa-
vide for the resumption of specie pay
ments, approved January ID, 1875, be,
and the same is hereby so amended that
in lieu of the description of the bonds
therein authorized the secretary of the
treasury is hereby authorized to issue,
from time to time, as he may deem
necessary, and in such form as he may
prescribe, coupon or registered bonds
of the United States in denominations
of $25 and the mutiples thereof. re-
deemable in coin at the pleasure of the
| United States, after. .... years from
date, bearing interest at a rate not
exceeding per cent. per annum, pay
able quarterly in coin, and sell the
same at not less than par in coin, and
the proceeds of such bonds shall be
held and used to maintain the parity
of all forms of money coined or issued
by the United States, but the secre-
tary of the treasury is hereby author
lied to use, from time to time, such
part of such proceeds as may be nee
essary to supply the deficiencies in
public revenues during the fiscal year
1894
Sec 9 A sum sufficient to carry the
provisions of this act into effect, is
hereby appropriated out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-ISpeciaLl
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Senate Territories committee, is eX-
pected here tomorrow. Soon after his
return he will make arrangements for
the taking up of the Utah statehood
bill
The indications are everything is all
right. Mr. Rawlins consults almost
daily with senators regarding the out
look. He finds there is practically but
one sentiment among the Democrats,
and it is well known number OF Re
publicans, like Carey, Dubois and 9th
ers. are earnestly advocating the Utah
bin.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas. is pos
sibly one of the few Democrats not
ntirely enthusiastic. He was most
novorably inclined, but the decision to
a smove his friend Williams from the
head of the Utah Commission has
somewhat displeased him, though he
is too fair a mali to let that bias him.
In regard to the admission, 1t is be-
lieved he will recommend favorable
report on the bill.
It is learned that President Cleveland
became much displeased with the plan
of apportionment adopted by the COM
mission, and that had much to do
with the calling for Williams resigna-
ton, as well as the other members.
!. though the appointments to fill the
Vacancies will soon be made.

HOT WHILE IT LASTED.
The Engagement Between the Reb.
els and Government at Rio.


Rio, Jan. Engagement between
the rebel vessel Guanabara, supported
by the guns of Cobras island, on Sat
urday, and the government positions
along the shore, was very hot while
1T lasted.
The Guanabara had the best of the
running close in shore and making
very effective use of her guns, which
caused the government forces to re-
tire from their positions. leaving a
number of dead and wounded behind
Peixotos officers, while the Guanabara
was whiting easy. distance of the shore,
suddenly made an attack upon her by
means of number of small boats
filled with troops, but this movement
was unsuccessful, as the Guanabara
opened such deadly fire that she
easily beat off the boarding parties,
killing number of soldiers who
manned the small craft. 1t is difficult
to get at the facts in regard to number
of killed and wounded. The rebels
claim, that at least a hundred of
Peixoto's troops were killed or wounded
during the attack upon the Guanabara
by the small boats, and probably as
many more during the rebel ships at
tack upon the land batteries. On the
|other hand the reports say the losses
are trivial and the insurgents report
the number of killed and wounded is
grossly exaggerated.

This precipitated a general discus

to precedence in the matter of Offering

in favor of Wilson, who proposed an
amendment to eliminate cables and cor

come in free.
Morse, Republican, of Massachusetts
offered an amendment to the Wilson
amendment which sought to take bind

back on the dutiable list.
Both the amendments and the Painter
substitute were agreed to.
The Republicans, under the lead of
Burrows, then made a, fight for the
privilege of offering an amendment.
Morse's amendment was voted down,
and Wilson'S agreed to.
Wilson'S next amendment was as to
the cotton schedule, to include cotton

After some debate, this was agreed

Washington, Jan. 15.-The following
Letter was sent by Secretary Carlisle
to Senator Voorhees,, chairman of the
finance committee of the Senate:

Secretary, Washington, Jan. Is, 1894.
Hon. D. w. Voorhees,, chairman COM
mittee on finance, United States Sen
ate-Dedr Sir:
In compliance with your verbal re-
quest, have the honor to submit for
the consideration of the finance com
mittee of the Senate, statements show
ing the actual condition of the treas
ury on the 18th day of the present
month and an estimate of the receipts
and expenditures during the remain
der of this month and the month OF
February. 1t will be seen from the
statement there is an urgent neces-
sity for such immediate action as will re-
plenish the coin reserve, and enable this
department to continue the payment
of public expenses and discharge the
obligations of the government to pen
sioners and other lawful creditors.
When my annual report was pre-
pared, it was estimated the expenses
. y
exceed the receipts to the amount OF
about $4,000, 900, and asked Congress
for authority to issue and sell bonds
or other forms of obligations to ar
amount not exceeding $4,000, 900. bear.
ing low rate of interest and having
a reasonably short time to run, tc
enable the secretary of the treasury tc
supply such deficiencies as might &C.
cur in the revenues. The estimate
then made was based upon the as
sumption that the worst of our finan-
cial disturbances had already beer
realized, and that there would be a
substantial increase in the revenues
for the remainder of the year While
it was not believed the deficiency ther
existing would be supplied by in
creased revenues in the future, it was
hoped no additional deficiency would
occur: but the receipts and expendi.
lures up to the 18th of the present
month show that the estimate of the de-
ficiency of $2S 100000 at the close of the
year was much too low. The actual
receipts and expenditures during each
month of the year and the monthly
deficiencies have been as follows:

Washington. Jan. 5.-The rumor that
ex-queen Liluokalani is about to bring
suit against the United States for a
large sum of money. basing her claim
for damages on the presidents recent
Hawaiian message and Secretary Ores
hams letter, has created a good deal
of interest in official circles A suit
cannot be brought by an individual
against the government, and there is
no method of procedure through the
courts by which the ex-queen could
present a claim. The only course
Liliuokalani can pursue is to submit
a claim against the United States, and
Congress would have to approve it
before the claim could be adjusted by
the court of claims In fact the only
recourse of ex-queen is Congress.

larity, she could hardly expect to meet
with satisfaction or success.
