ANOTHER MESSAGE.
Mr.. Cleveland May Eniighten Con-
gress To-Day-TaIk with Gresham.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-lt has been au-
thoritatively learned by members OF the
House committee on foreign affairs that
British marines were not landed at Hon.
olulu. 1t is stated that the British COM
mander acted out of an abundance OF eau
ton to protect British interests. and not for
any purpose of asserting British dominion
over the islands.
Congressman who have visited the White
House and State Department have re-
ceived definite information that President
Cleveland will send another Hawaiian mes
sage to Congress tomorrow covering the
dispatches brought by the Corwin. The
steamer Mariposa is scheduled TO sail from
San Francisco tomorrow for Honolulu,
but IL is probable she Will be held over
until Friday for the British mails 10 AUS
tralia, which are somewhat delayed. The
instructions 10 Minister Willis thus can
be prepared in time for the Mariposa. III.
however, il is desired not 10 give Minister
Willis further instructions until the adj
vice of Congress is received, the time prob
ably would be too short 10 send them on
the Mariposa. and the Corwin. doubtless,
will be brought in service again.
Secretary Gresham was seen to-day by
a reporter and he consented TO answer
some hurried questions addressed TO him.
In reply TO the query: "Will you say any
thing of the news from Honolulu he
said:
II do not know any news from Honolulu.

came by the Corwin, perhaps, tonight. I

parently approaching crisis in the treas
ury. The Secretary dwelt briefly on the
rapidly diminishing gold reserve and stated
that, instead of increasing. as he had
hoped the government receipts would. they
coming to be a monthly gap of about s1O.-
100000 between the receipts and expendi-
lures He thought therefore, that 1t was
expedient that Congress should take steps
to provide against the evil. He asked that
the act of 1875 for the resumption of specie
payments. which also authorized bond
issue, should be so amended as TO
permit this issuance for shorter
time and at lower rate Of interest than
is provided for In that act The lowest rate
Of interest named in the bonds provided
for the 4 per cent. bonds is thirty years.
Mr.. Carlisle said the country would not
justify the Secretary of the Treasury IN
taking advantage Of this authority because
the United States government bonds could
be disposed of at much lower rate of in
terest and for far shorter time. He thought
it would be very easy matter to sell bonds
enough to tide over the present urgency
to meet the prospective deficiency Of the
present fiscal year-at 8 per cent. interest
and running three four or five years.
There was general interchange of opin-
ion among the members of the committee.
Enough was developed to show that it is
going to be very difficult for the commit
tee to agree upon bill. The meeting dis
persed without taking any action.

Another Bond Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The bill of Rep
resentative O'Neil. of Massachusetts,, au-
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
borrow money up to s1O0.000.o 600 in anticipa-
ton Of revenues, and to issue therefor loan
certificates bearing per cent interest, is
attracting much attention in the financial
circles of Congress and of the administra-
ton. 1t is regarded as something more than
the expression of Mr.. ONels personal
views as he discussed the subject with
Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Secretary
Hamlin before introducing the bill. While
giving the measure no distinct administra-
ton approval, the treasury officials noted
the fact that Secretary CariSle'S recent re.
port suggested not only an issue of bonds,
but an alternative plan, should Congress
not authorize bonds. Mr.. ONiel's bill is
looked upon as in line with this alternative
proposition.

GROWING MORE BOLD
Florida Sports Have Lost All Fear
of Governor Mitchell.
Mr.. Bowden Offers to Bet $1,000 There
Will Be No Interference with the
Champion Prize Fight.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 10.-Nothing
has been heard yet from Governor Mitchell
in regard to the statement sent out by the
Athletic Club last night. Consequently the
feeling is general that the battle will not
be int erfered with. J. E. Bowden offered to
bet $1,000 that the Governor would, within
week. throw down his hand and declare that
he would have nothing more TO do with the
affair. The wager was not accepted.
Tomorrow the Duval Club will apply for
a license under the new city ordinance per-
mitting boxing contests There is no doubt
of it's being granted. Word will also to-
morrow be sent to both Corbett and Mitch
ell that the club is ready to deposit the
$4,000 purse with the referee as agreed upon
in the articles. Referee Kelly has not been
heard from officially and the club members
say that theydo not know his whereabouts.
There is no doubt, however. that he will
show up at the appointed time. Corbett will
be in Jacksonville tomorrow night to at
tend the theater. The champion considers
the proclamation of the club to be the best
move that could have been made. Mitchell,
on the contrary, thinks it rather strong, and
says that he fears the consequences.
The Duval club, to-day, supplemented its
statement of last night with the following
card to the public: There have been a
great many inquiries at our office from
outside people as to the return of money
paid into this club for reserved seat tickets,
caused by the doubt and uncertainty of the
ability of the Duval Athletic Club in bring
ing off the Corbett-Mitchen contest We
assure the public generally and those wish
ing to procure good seats In advance that,
unless we bring to a successful issue the
contest, every cent paid into this club for
, tickets will be returned to persons holding
certificates from us. The money which we
are receiving for this purpose is being de-
posted daily in the national bank of Jack
sonville, in a separate and distinct account
other than that used by the club in max
ing its necessary arrangements for the
purse and otherwise. In order to assure
the public of absolute security for the safe
return of their money we are willing that
they should deposit the money paid for
tickets in any reputable bank in the city
of Jacksonville, to be paid to the order of
this club the day after the contest takes
place. Upon the receipt of voucher of
such deposit this lub will issue, a certif-
cate exactly as II the money had been in
trusted TO our keeping"
