LEAvENWORTH COAL MINE.
The Company Likely to he NIulcted in q
Heavy Sum.

ItdSy sum-
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Feb. Last
evening Special Master Eugene Hagan,
who was recently appointed by the
United States district court to examine
into the location of the Leavenworth
coal mine for data in the suit against
the mine by the general government,
finished. his work and will make his
report to the court in about three
weeks. Government engineers who
have been surveying the mine above
and below for the last few weeks sub
mitted their reports, accompanied with
diagrams of the shaft and giving the
amount of land mined under by the
company. The report of Special Ac.
countant J. E. Brady, who examined
the company's books, was submitted,
which shows that IS, ,5Oo,O 600 bushels Of
coal were taken from under the gov
ernment reservation from the time the
mine opened in September, 1870.
The suit against the company was
begun by United States Attorney Ady
nearly a year ago to recover &c a
bushel royalty which is alleged to have
been in the contract with the govern
ment when it gave the privilege to
mine under the Fort Leavenworth res
ervation. The Leavenworth coal mine
is stocked at $500 900, most of which is
owned by the widow of the late Lucien
Scott and DR.. Tifin Sinks Should the
suit be decided in accordance with the
findings of Special Master Hagan the
company will have to pay over 500, 600
royalty and be made heavy loser in

THE BLAND BILL.
Secretary Carlisle Talks the Matter Over
with Silver Dick.

Secretary Carlisle Talks the Matter over
with Silver Dick.
: WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secretary Car
Isle, accompanied by Representative
Bland, appeared before the house COM
rnittee on judiciary yesterday. 1t was
developed later that the secretary's
visit with Mr. Bland did not mean that
the former meant to lend his influence
to the passage of the seigniorage bill.
They had met casually at the secretary's
office, and as Mr.. Bland was going
to the capitol. Mr. Carlisle accom-
panied him for the purpose of talking
over the Bland bill These talks
brought out the fact that the secretary
was not strenuously opposed to the
coinage of the seigniorage. although
he did not approve of some of the prop
ositions in the bill by which this added
silver coinage was to be secured. 1t is
understood that the secretary pointed
out flaw in the first section of the bill
which Mr. Bland himself conceded
should be modified.
The section provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury shall Immediately
issue silver certificates in the amount
equal to the seigniorage of the silver
bullion, to-wit, $50, 155, 6Sl'
Mr.. Carlisle pointed out that the man
datory provision that the secretary
shall Immediately issue s55. 156, ,6S1 of
silver certificates" is hardly necessary
as the current expenses might not re-
quire the compulsory issue of such a
large amount of silver certificates at a
single stroke.
Mr.. Bland said he had appreciated
| this point, but was ready to offer an
| amendment when the bill was taken
I. up by which the secretary will be given
authority to issue silver certificates as
circumstances demanded Instead of be-
ing compelled to issue them in blocks
Immediately.

LACK OF QUORUM.
It Prevents the House Coming to
Vote on Hawaii
LEAVES OF ABSENCE ARE REVOKED.
Party Lines Broken-Thc McCreary Res
olution VIII No Doubt Pass-The
Senate Puts on Voting on the
Elections Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Hawaiian
debate was concluded yesterday, but
the entire resolution was not passed
becauseSof the failure of the democrats
to secure a quorum when a vote was
taken. Much less opposition from the
democratic side developed than was at
one time expected. Only one speech,
that of Gen. Sickles, of New York, was
made in opposition to the adoption of
the resolution, although there
was some passive opposition on
the democratic side, as indicated
by the refusal of several of
the democrats to answer to their names
when the resolution was placed upon
its passage. The Hit substitute, the
Blair amendment and the motion made
by Mr.. Reed to recommit the resolution
were in turn voted down. When the
vote came to be taken upon the main
question, however, the adoption of thu
entire resolution, republicans refrained
from voting and the democrats lacked
seventeen of a quorum. Mr.. Cummings,
of New York, voted for Reeds motion to
recommit and Mr.. Sickles against the
McCreary resolution. Mr.. Cummings,
of New York; Mr.. Geary, of California,
and Mr.. Cocl<rell of Texas, refused to
go on record either for or against the
adoption of the resolution. These were
all the indications shown of a break in
party lines in the Hawaiian matter.
The populists voted generally with the
republicans. Mr.. Brodericll, of Kan
sas, was the only republican who de-
clined to FOLLOW the leader of his party
and refrain from voting. He voted
against the resolution. When the dem
ocrats found themselves without a
quorum, they passed n resolution re-
voling the leaves of absence and then
adjourned. They expect to have a
quorum present to-day.
THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Feb 7.-The senate did
not come to vote on the federal cleo
tion bill yesterday, as was anticipated.
Several senators who had not hitherto
spoken desired an opportunity to be
heard on the measure, and by unani-
nous consent the time of general de-
bate was extended until 3 o'clock to-
day. The chief event of the day was
the speech by Senator Frye, of Maine,
defending the official course and char
acter of Chief Supervisor Davenport, of
New York city, and refuting the al
legged ISLANDERS and calumny which he
said had been heaped upon him by the
democratic party for twenty years.
Speeches were also made by Senators
