WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-When Senator
Gray's attention was called to the fact that
his name was being canvassed to some
extent in connection with the appoint
ment to the supreme bench 20 fill the seat
for which Mr. Hornblower was rejected by
the senate, he merely smiled and said it
had been several years since he had enter
tained any ambition in that direction Not
withstanding this attitude on the part Of
Senator Gray, his name was mentioned in
connection with the Office in the talk heard
upon the subject about the capitol during
the day much more frequently than that
of any other man available for the Office.
The fact was recalled that President
Cleveland had seriously and very favorably
considered Senator Gray's name for the
chief justiceship when Judge Fuller was
appointed. The fact that the governor and
the Legislature Of Delaware were both Dem
ocratic is cited when the question of polit-
ical eXpediency is raised.
1t is suggested that the president may 20
outside Of New $ork in view Of the oppo-
sition Of the senators from that state, and
that in going outside Of the state he might
also 90 a few miles out Of the circuit and
take Senator Gray. If the choice should
not fall upon him and the president should
still desire TO fill the vacancy from some
other state than New York, il is suggested
that he might appoint Judge Simeon +.
Baldwin of the supreme court Of Connecti-
cut, whose name was presented to the pres
ident in connection with the Office before

THE YALE-HARvARD DEBATE.
Interest Increased by Preliminary Row
over tho Arrangements.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, jan i7.-There prom
ises to be a lively tilt between the Yale and
Harvard committees who have In charge
the debate that is to take place here on
Friday. The row began by notice in
New Haven paper to the effect that the
Yale speakers would have a chance to re-
but their opponents' arguments. This
would allow the first Yale speaker TO speak
twice and terminate the debate. Harvard
did not understand any such agreement to
have been made, aud as soon rs they learn
ed Of this Yale was tolegraphed that no re-
buttal would be allowed. Yale replied by
insisting on her rights, ard now the mat
ter is being hotly disputed by mail.
The matter will undoubtedly be settled
before Friday and will lend zest to the de-
bate. Nearly every seat in Sanders thea
ter has been sold for the debate, and fash.
ionable audience Is expected. After the
debate a banquet will be given at the Colo
nial club to the speakers and judges. Colo
mel Thomas Wentworth Higginson has
consented 60 preside, and the judges chosen
are Hon. Carl Schurz, President A. H..

tempt TO Have Their Amendments Con-
siderod - senator Gray Mentioned For
the Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-The Hawaiian
controversy was again brought to the at.
tention of the senate, and there was half
hours spirited discussion between Sena.
tors Hoar, Gray and Daniels. The presi.
dents message communicating the recent
diplomatic correspondence afforded Sena.
tor Hoar an opportunity 60 speak on the
matter, and he showed by quoting from
the Hawaiian constitution that the queen,
in her recent protest that she could not
promise amnesty TO the members of the
provisional government, was only conlin-
ing herself to the limitations of the con.
stitution, which does not confer on the
crown such absolute right of granting
amnesty, but requires that pardon can be
granted only by the concurrence of the
cabinet and other constitutional officers
Senators Gray OF Delaware and Daniels
of Virginia made some pertinent interrup.
tions aud threw upon Minister Stevens and
his initiative actions all the responsibility
for whatever irregular methods Of pro
cedure had necessarily grown out of the
Hawaiian imbroglio.
The speech of Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire on the tariff question was at
tentively listened to by his colleagues The
bill to repeal the federal elections law com.
ing up in regular order, Senator Palmer OF
Illinois opered the discussion in an argu
ment in favor Of the bill.
Slow Work on the Tariff Bill.
Very little progress was made with the
amendments to the tariff bill. The Re
publicans, under the leadership Of Mr. Bur
rows, made another struggle to secure tn,
right TO offer amendments alternately witt
Mr. Wilson, but as on Sionday the chair
man held, in view Of IT, precedent Of pro
cedure when the Mckinley bill was under
consideration that Mr.. Wilson, on behal
Of the majority Of the committee, was en-
titled TO perfect the bill before it wa
thrown open to miscellaneous amendment
Several minor amendments were agreed
TO, the most important being that to in
crease the duty on condensed milk to
cents pound.
Almost the entire afternoon was spen
in discussing the date upon which fre
wool and the corresponding reduction OF
wool should 90 into effect. No conclusion
was reached.
The closing day Of the tariff debate prom
ises to witness a brilliant display Of oratory

LEGISLATION IS TOO UNCERTAIN.


Authority to Strengthen the Gold Re-
serve and Meet Every Demand-Pubiio
Credit WIN Not suGor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA second meet
ing of the senate finance committee was
held for the purpose Of considering Secre-
tary Carlisle's letter and bond bill After
the conclusion of the meeting Senator
voorhees,, as chairman of the committee,
gave ont the statement given below In
making it, he said, he did not assume TO
represent the views of the entire commit
tee, and yet lac knew Of no opposition in
the committee to the opinions expressed.
He submitted his statement 20 the full
committee before giving it 10 the public.
II Is as follows:
senator Voorhees, Statement.
"Ihe embarrassed condition Of the treas
ury and the necessity for prompt action for
It's relief are fully realized There is not
he slightest ground, however, for appre-
hension that the public credit will suffer
or be endangered for the reason that ample
authority already exists by law for the
secretary of the treasury to strengthen his
coin reserve TO any extent required and to
meet every demand that can be legitimate.
Of bonds needs nothing beyond which Is
given 10y the net OF Jan. IA, 1877. The only
desirable object 10 bo attained by new leg
islation at this time on that subject is to
make shorter time bond with a lower
rate Of interest. and yet the secretary feels
assured that be can negotiate bonds issued
under the act OF 1875, running only l0years
on practically a per cent basis
1T seems, therefore, that IL will be wiser,
safer and better for the financial and busi-
ness interests Of the country 60 rely upon
existing laws with which TO meet the pres
ent emergency rather than 10 encounter
the delays and uncertainties always Incl.
dent TO protracted discussion In the two
houses Of congress This view Of the con.
dition of the treasury admits Of but little
| II any delay and of no uncertainty at all In
the final action TO be taken.
1T would be trilliug with a very grave
affair TO pretend that new legislation con
cerning the issue of bonds can be accom-
| plished at this time and In the midst of
present elements and parties In public life
| without elaborate, extensive aud practi-
cally indefinite debate It is also obvious
/ TO every one that the consideration and
discussion OF the tariff now going on IN
congress will render any financial legisla.
ton nt this time far more difficult and
complicated than IL might be under other
and different circumstances.
Have Considered the Blii.
1T is proper 20 say in this connection
that the senate finance committee for sew
eral weeks past has had this subject under
almost constant consideration aud that the
bill submitted by Mr. Carlisle has been ex.
amined and discussed with the greatest
care.
"Ihe interest Of the committee will by
no means be abated from this time for
ward. Tho fact that much remains to be
done is fully recognized. Whatever def.
cheney in the revenues may exist during
the current fiscal year viii be promptly
provided for by appropriate and efficient
legislation at the earliest practicable mo.
