Those Annoying Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Strong senti-
ment is expressed among the silver
leaders of the house against the ''gold
clause" of Secretary's Carlisle's notice
of the bond sale.
Representative Bland, Dem, of Mo-
says the standard silver dollar is full
legal tender and it can be offered and
received in payment for these bonds.
The act under which the bonds are
issued provides that they shall be pay
able in coin. 1t does not say gold coin.
At the time of the act the standard
silver dollar was q full legal tender SO
it must be included in the meaning of
the word "coin."
Some auti-silver men take issue with
Bland on this point. They say the
bonds are issued under the resumption
act of 1875, which provides that the
bonds should be sold for "coin," but
they point out that before this, in 1878,
silver was demonitized so 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 is against
public policy to make public dis
elimination against one of the money
metals now in use and the effect of the
sscretary's action will tend to send gold
coin to q premium and disturb the
parity between gold and silver coins.
Representative Tracy, Democrat, of
New York, one of the anti-silver lead
ers of the house, said: Secretary
Carlisle wants no more silver tor he al
ready has in the treasury much more
than he wants. What is needed ia gold.
1t is fortunate that under these circum-
stances the law allows him to secure the
particular metal he wants. While the
bonds are payable in gold, yet, in sell
ing them, the secretary has authority
to secure the payment in any class OF
coin he needs, as the express purpose
of that law was to give the means oi
meeting the needs OF the treasury"
Some of the treasury officials have a
theory which hes been advanced sew
eral times heretofore and which is said
to be shared by some of those who have
a hand in directing the affairs of the
department. 1t is this, there actually
exists no fund that can be properly
termed "gold reserve" The so-called
"gold reserve" which was created by
Secretary Sherman under the act OF
1875 has been entirely wiped out by the
redemption of United States bonds and
treasury notes, for which purpose ii
was originally created. The redemp'
tion OF treasury notes alone, it is said
has been sufficiently large to wipe out
the gold reserve and the redemption Of
United States and treaaury notes to-
gether up to recent period aggregated
$149 100000. This vast amount of notes
was not retired but re-issued.
Ii this theory is carried to a legiti.
mate conclusion it is held that the gov

LONDON, Jan. 19.-The foreign office
received today dispatch from Lieut.
Col. A. B. Ellis, British officer in COM
mand of the troops in Sierra Leone,
on the west coast OF Africa. Col. Ellis
reports that Inspector Taylor, of the
frontier police, is pursuing the Sofas
who have been ravaging the friendly
country.
During the pursuit the column ar
rived at Kerray Emma on Decem Der 81
and found the place to be perfect
charnel house. Scores of slaughtered
captives, including women and children,
were strewn about the neighborhood.
Sick and suffering people were seen on
all sides and the stencil from the bodies
was horrible in the extreme.
Inspector Tavlor started in pursuit of
the Sofas, who did the bloody work and
came close upon them on January 2. st
Bogwema. The frontier police found
the place strongly protected by block
adea and other defenses. The police,
however, carried the place by storm in
a quarter Of an hour killing go Sofas
and wounding seventy others.
In addition the frontier police cap
tured all the guns and ammunition Of
the Sofas and rescued 400 slaves. the
majority OF whom were women and
children. The frontier police only lost
two men during the engagement. Four
days previously the Sofas, under their
chief, Fori. attacked police garrison
at Tonkia Sibul, and were repulsed with
a loss Of 6fty killed and large number

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The report of

tested election case of O'Neill were pre-
sented and ordered printed IN the house

raisin and prune industry of California.
Walker, Republican, of Massachu-

five Democratic members Of the ways

speeches refused TO print those speeches

The rest of the afternoon was con-
sumed in further discussion OF Hender-
sons amendment and the house took a
recess until O'Clock.
The night debate was set apart for
general debate. Bell, Populist, of Colo

although it did not 60 far enough to suit
him.
Shaw, Republican, of Wisconsin, op-
posed it, especially the proposed dutiea
on barley.
Morgan, Democrat, of Missouri. while
he indorsed the provisions Of the bill
generally, condemned in strong terms
the proposition to place lead ore On the
free list. The lead schedule, be charged
as fact within his own knowledge, was
dictated by the lead trust. In conclu-
sion he appealed to the house to remove
from the bill any suspicion of jobbery

ial trial trip today. In the words of
some of the members of the official trial
board "She covered herself with glory"
and acquired the title OF "The queen of
her class". She made the extraordi-
nary speed as estimated of ninteen
knots an hour with the tide against her
going out and in her favor returning.
Subjecting these figures to slight cor
rection for the tidal change which is
likely to be in her favor the result of the
trial assures her builders of a pre-
MUM of at least $175 900 and perhaps
$3.50, 900.
The course was thirty-six nautical
miles and the Montgomery made the
outward trip in two hours and eight
minutes. The return was made in
quicker time as the entire actual time
in running the seventy-two miles, was
three hours and forty FIVE minutes. 1t
is learned tonight that the trial board
decided to grant an allowance to the
Montgomery on account of the tide and
will increase her speed in today's trial
to l9 5-10 knots per hour.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia dispatch
announcing the threatened injunction
by the Knights Of Labor against Secre-
tary Carlisle to restrain him from issu-
ing the $50, 900 00G bonds was taken to
the treasury department this afternoon
and was shown to the secretary. Car
Isle declined to say anything whatever
on the subject for publication. Other
officials of the department. were not sur
prised on learning the contents of the
dispa ch. The feeling of the Kn!ghta
Of Labor and labor unions generally on
the bond question is known to be
enfavorabe as shown by the passage OF
resolutions against it. Officials unite
in the opinion that the secretary has
nothing more than temporary delay to
fear from injunction proceedings and
even this they did not think in the least
degree probable. 1t is believed that no
delay would be occasioned by these
threatened legal proceedings as even a
temporary Injunction doubtless would
be denied.
The Populists of the house know
nothing about the injunction against
the bond issue. Jerry Simpson says he
will have no hand in it but will be glad
if it is true. Representative Culberson
of Texas, chairman of the judiciary
committee, says there is no doubt of
the power of Secretary Carlisle to issue
bonds for purposes of the resumption
act. The general opinion among the
lawyers of the house is that the pro-
ceedings would have no standing in

SPECIAL interest attaches at present
 to the statistics of the movement of the precious metals. The treasury statistics, says Bradstreet, show that the gold
 exports for October amounted to S1 ,0S0,- 889 and imports to Sl, ,675 ,37l, as agalnst exports of SUI ,018 and imports of 5I,-
 5S3,937 for October, 1893. For ten months of 1894 the gold exports were s91, ,602, TIA and imports SIS, ,59S, ,37l, as against exposts of SIG, ,7S9, ,532 and i'm ports of s67, ,544, ,569 for the first ten months of 1893. Silver exports for October were s4,407,S ,S4S and imports S1, 50l ,054, and for October, 1893, the exports were s, 457, ,673 and imports s1, ,41S,O69. During the months of 1894 the silver exports were S39, ,554 and the imports sl1 ,29S, 4O7, as against ex- ports of 6,S77 ,3S7 and imports of Sl6,- 424 ,523 for the first ten months of 1893. 1t will be seen from the above figures that while the imports exceeded the exports of gold during October, the ex ports greetly exceeded the imports for the ten months ending herewith. The excess of exports for the ten months, in fact. amounted to over S73,000,000 as compared with an excess of exports to something over S9, 200, ,000 for the corresponding period of last year.
