NEEDS NO AUTHORITY.
Secretary Carlisle Says There is
Call for Bond Legislation.

Secretary Carlisle Says There is No
Call for Bond Legislation.
Secretary Carlisle today sent a reply to
the Senate resolution inquiring whether
'it is necessary or desirable that legisla-
tion should be had authorizing the issuing
of bonds, treasury notes or other securities
to realize moneys for the purpose of pay
ing current deficiencies in the revenue"
The Secretary says he does not consider
such authority now necessary. His com
munication is as follows: 1.-The cash bal
ance in the treasury at the close Of bust
ness on the 18th instant, exclusive of $55,-
10f, ,704 gold reserve, was $92,S75.2S4.
1T Is my opinion that the Secretary OF
the Treasury ought to be permanently in
vested with authority to issue and sell
short-time bonds or other obligations of the
government for the purpose Of raising
money to meet such deficiencies In the
ordinary revenues as may occur from time
to time; but l do not think that there is
any necessity at the present time for the
exercise of such authority if it existed.
1T is not probable that such deficiencies
Will occur during the remainder of tht
current fiscal year as Will exceed the avail
able balance on hand, and it Is estimated
that during the Eext fiscal year the re-
ceipts will exceed the expenditures"
How 1t Strikes Them.
This letter is accepted in the Senate as
having direct bearing upon the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill proposed by
the Senate committee on appropriations
providing for an issue of certificates OF
Indebtedness.
Many Senator'S who have given their as
sent to the amendment have stated from
the beginning that they would agree to the
proposition only upon the direct request
of the Secretary for such action. This has
been especially true Of the silver Senators.
Senator Teller has been one Of the most
conservative of silver men on this propo-
stion, but he Is understood to have voted
against it in committee because there had
been no declaration from the Treasury De-
partment that the certificates were needed.
1t is understood now that the amendment
was put forward with the idea that it was
liable to be ruled out on point of order
in the Senate. and that If it passed that
body it would fail In the House.

MIR. WARREN OF CHICAGO.
He May BE the Supervising Architect
of the TFeasary.


of the TFeasary.
1t seems to be the impression among SUBJ
ordinate treasury officials that Mr.. c. j.
Warren of Chicago is likely to be appointed
supervising architect of the treasury. The
Illinois delegation in Congress is under
stood to have m tde a strong plea to the
President and Secretary Carlisle in his
behalf, and 1t Is believed that their plea
has been received with favor. Secretary
Carlisle, however, has not taken any official
action in the matter as yet, and as he went
to New York this morning it may be sew
eral days before anything definite is known.
A prominent Chicago democrat now in
the city said today that he had no knowl-
edge of what Mr.. Warren's chances were.
He had met him at the hotel and. Mr.. War
rem had said that he was q candidate, and
seemed to think that he had the inside
track. Mr.. Warrens special desire was to
make the plans for the Chicago post office.
authorized by the recent act of Congress,
and but for that it was doubtful whether
he would accept the place.
When questioned as to Mr.. Warren's 8
standing in his profession, the Chicago
gentleman said that no doubt he was a
good architect but so far as he knew he
by no means stood pre-eminent among
Chicago architects. In fact, the gentleman
said, the best men In the profession would
not accept it at the small salary paid, for
the reputation they might gain would by
10 means compensate them for the finan-
cial loss incurred

THE FREE SILVER PLAN
Three Preliminary Conferences and Then
a General Convention.
All VIII Adopt n Resolution Declar-
ing for the Free Coinage of silver
ut Sixteen to One.

A very important political conference is
expected to be held at date not yet fixed,
probably early in the summer. During the
discussion of the gold bond resolution In
the House last week one of the populists
had read, las q part of his remarks" a
call for a conference of their people. This
conference is not of itself a matter of
much consequence, but as part of a gen.
eral plan is has more significance. The
intention is to have three conferences, dis
tinct and independent of each other, pre-
liminary to the general conference or con-
vention of representatives of the silver
men of all sections and all parties.
There is to be a call issued for meeting
Of the republicans in Congress who are
devoted to the cause of silver. This con-
ference is to be followed by one of the
democrats in Congress who are silver ad-
vCCates.
To Declare for Free Coinage.
1t is anticipated that the action taken by
all three conferences will be the same.
Each is expected to adopt a simple reso-
luton of it's own drawing declaring for the
free coinage of silver at IL to 1, and to
avoid reference to any other question. The
upshot of this would be that those men be-
longing to three antagonistic parties would
stand pledged to the same platform.
If all goes on smoothly to this point the
next step will be- to unite the three separate
sections into one organization to make q
silver campaign in '96
The joint general conference or conven-
tion at which these three elements of the
silver party are expected to be united is the
one looked forward to as an event Of great
Importance. 1t is not at present contem-
plated that there should be a formal or
ganization of a new party at this confer
ence or that any one by attending the con-
ference and participating in it's work shall
thereby separate himself from the party to
which he belongs. 1t is not the design of
either the silver republicans or t\ silver
democrats to abandon their old party asso-
Citations until after they have exhausted
every effort to secure what they consider a
satisfactory recognition of silver by one or
both of the old parties and have failed.
They intend, however, to be prepared to
launch the silver party with flags flying as
soon as the time arrives. when that is the
only thing left for them,

who was summoned by his brother when
the body was found. gaasa evidence which
seemed to impeach the evidence of Blixt
in one important particular. He swore
that he had found in the dirt near where
the body lay a heel mark and then a toe
mark of lady's shoe. There was also the
trace of where the boot had dragged to
where the body lay.
This evidence went to show that Miss
Ging's body was pushed out of the buggy
feet first, instead of head first, as the MUIR
derer testified. OF course, this testimony
was meant to overthrow the theory that
the fracture of .he skull and the confusion
were caused by the fall from the buggy,
and would help to impeach the evidence of
BliXt.
George Grndall was an important wit
ness for the defense. He was standing on

ITALY Is SATISFIED.

The Italian Minister is Pleased in Re-
gard to Walsenburg Trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 18-The italian
incident, one of three International COM
plications, is practically closed as far as
it involves the relations of the United
States and Italy, and instead of leaving
irritation and i'll feeling the affair ap-
pears to have resulted in further strength
ening the friendly relations between the
countries.
Ambassador Fava takes this view of
the incident. and expresses his appre-
citation of the promptness and energy
with which the federal authorities and
those of Colorado sought to secure for
the Italians the same protection and re-
dress as that given American citizens
during the mob lawlessness at Walsen-
burg.
The ambassador believes that the re-
cent trouble in Colorado as well as that
in New Orleans, will further awaken a
sentiment for a national law by which
the United States can see that full treaty
protection is given to foreigners. even
though they be within the Jurisdiction
of the states.

WON'T JOIN SILVERITES.

ST. PAUL, March 18.-Ignatius DON

join the free silver coinage party.
Mr.. Donnelly says: ''The idea of our
deserving the principles laid down in the
Omaha platform and consenting to be the
tail to an exclusive free silver party is
absurd. The Peoples Party has other
fully as important plans for the ameliora-
ton of the condition of mankind. If the
silver men are in earnest in their move
let them join our party. We have al
ways favored the free coinage of silver,
but we have other plans in view which
we cannot abandon.
"Had the silver men stood by our
party in the last election we
would have carried Colorado, Mon
tana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and
perhaps other states. Instead of doing
this they said the Republican party in
those states was in favor of the free coin
age of silver, and that, therefore, it was
good enough for them. If that is So 1
do not see why the same party is not
good enough for them still"

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 8, Columbia building.
Wheat opened &c higher than Satur-
days close and remained steady with a
strong undertone for the first hour The
trade had figured on decrease of over a
million, and when it was posted only show
ing S44. 900 decrease, timid holders began
taking profits causing an easier feeling.
The price was hammered to $500 for
the May option. At this price Partridge
and his followers attempted to cover a
line of short wheat, which caused the
market to advance a half cent ia five
minutes The closing was firm and with
a better feeling. We are firm believers
in higher prices, and think that wheat
will take an up turn soon, Ms timid longs
are through realizing.
Not only are stocks of wheat light in
America but in France warehoused stocks
are Is million bushels less than year
ago. and in the United Kingdom they
are million bushels less. These coun-
tries must buy our wheat as Argentine
and Australia has raised poor crops of
an inferior quality. The United King
dom has less than months supply on
hand and we are the only country that
can ship it to them quickly.
1t is believed by experiepced msr-
Cnd0tS that GU0 WuOiO COuuL1Y Is On Lu0
eve of an improvement in commercial
matters, and as the adverse influences
have lasted long, it is argued the re-
bound will be great For the past two
weeks the signs of better times and bet
ter prices have been as plain as facts can
make them. We are entering on an era
of big money making. 1t requires but a
little good judgment, little ready
money, little doubling up on invest
ments after the improvement gets under
way, and profits will take care of them
selves.
We believe the trading world have
seen the lowest turn in prices, and the
lowest ebb of good feeling in lifetime.
Wheat at these prices is the best invest
ment in the world today, and will make
handsome profits in the near future.
Corn opened firm at about Saturday s
closing prices and declined lee on heavy
realizing by longs taking profits. When
this selling fever was over the market
braced up and showed considerable
strength, advancing a cent, closing strong
and at the top.

profits before another crop if bought Al

spring just as it was last fall, az there il
