although the talk was so indefinite that IL
came to naught. Representative Cochran
who is doubtless with the President IN tnls
matter. is out of town and Representative
Gearv is i'll, leaving ten Democrats and hVe
Republicans on the committee to settle the
question.
The bond transaction consummated TO-
day, strictly speaking, is not sale OF
bonds for gold, but purchase OF gold 10
be paid for in bonds. The issue was not
made under the authority granted by the
resumption act, but under section 300 of
the Revised Statutes, which reads as
follows:
The Secretary of the Treasury may purchase
coin with any of the bonds or notes OF the
United States authorized by law, at such rates
and upon such terms as he may deem most
advantageous to the public interests.
The contract was made with August
Belmont & Co. of New York, on behalf of
Messrs. N. M. Rothschilds & Sons of Lon
don and themselves, and j. T. Morgan u
Co. of New York, on behalf of ]. S. Morgan
& Co. of London and themselves, and pro-
vides for the delivery to the United States
$4,000 ounces of standard gold coin of
the United States to be paid for in United
States per cent bonds. A large number OF
other banks and financial institutions are
interested in the transactions, but their
names are not mentioned III the contract
itself.
The department does not know In what
proportions the various parties are to FUR
nish the gold coins or receive the bonds, as
this is matter for arrangements between
themselves. By the terms of the contract
the parties are to bear all expense of bring
ing the gold from abroad. Another stipu-
lation of great Importance is, that Messrs.
Morgan and Belmont agree to exert all
their financial strength and influence, and
that of their associates at home and abroad,
to protest against Withdrawals Of gold pend
ing complete performance of the contract,
No bonds are to be delivered except in
payment for gold actually delivered. Those
who are in position to know the Presi-
dents views on the subject give it as their
opinion that the issue will so far restore
public confidence at home and abroad that
any other issues will be unnecessary, at
least until the meeting of the next Con-
gress in December. If, however, it should
become necessary the President will act as
promptly as may be necessary to protect
the public credit. 1t is confidently ex-
pected by the President that this issue will
render an extra session of Congress wholly
unnecessary.
1t is understood that the gold called for
the terms of to-day's agreement will be
shipped from the Treasury Department at
the earliest day practicable. The agree
ment on the part of Messrs. Morgan and
Belmont to use their best endeavors to pre-
vent gold from being withdrawn from the
treasury was understood to mean that no
part of the gold bargained should either
directly or indirectly be taken from the
treasury and, therefore, it is fully believed
that the reserve will be augmented by the
full amount of gold purchased.

KILLED By A TRAIN.
Men Who We're at Work Digging Out a
Stalled Locomotive.

COMMISSIONS of the face. The dead are
John X. Darr, Noah Nye, George NJ. Stroup
John Crossley. Injured, Benjamin DIST.
Under the direction of Supervisor King
the men were releasing two engines which
had been stalled by the blizzard. The
snogbonnd train was on the eastbound
passenger track, with the men armed with
shoyeIs all around it, As fast as they
cleared the snow away, the wind would
drive ii over them and ON the track on
which the cars stood. The air was full OF
1t, making it difficult to see in any direc-
ton.
Suddenly one of the workmen cried,
Look out" Coming up the westbound
track was one Of the sections of the Pacific
express, which was scheduled to arrive at
3 o'clock in the morning, but which had
been belated almost twelve hours. Before
the men could get out of the way the ex.

ERIE, Pa, Feb. 8.-The continued cold
weather has caused much suffering and in
convenience here. Fully one-half of the
buildings of the city are heated with
natural gas, piped eighty miles from the gas
regions.
The low temperature has hindered the
flow of the gas as well as increased the con-
sumption. Coal and wood could not be
resorted to, for III most cases the stoves are
built for gas only. Erie Bay is covered
with eighteen inches of ice, and water
pipes in all parts of the city are frozen.
NYAcK, N. Y, Feb. s. The Hudson

MONTREAL, Feb. 8.-The blizzard has de-
layed all trains. The Canadian Pacific

since yesterday afternoon. 1t has practi-
cally demoralized street railway traffic.

the mainland of Florida this morning, the
mercury showing IS deg. above zero. On

At Key West and Palm Beach the mercury
dropped from 81 to IS. These were the
only points in the State above freezing.
Oranges and other fruit trees are prob
ably all killed except the oldest and tough
est of them, for they were budding and full
of sap, and therefore particularly suscepti-
BILE to cold. The loss will aggregate many
millions of dollars. The average life of a
tree is thirty years, which means fully
twenty prospective crops for trees now be-
ginning to bear. All early vegetables are
ruined and 200 boxes of strawberries,
which would have been shipped from
February 20 to March 10 are destroyed.
The plants are also ruined. There will prob

GlSHED BY A nIGHBIlDER.
Wong Lungs Manner Of Collecting
a Debt.
The Act Is Looked Upon as the Beginning
Of War Between the
Chinese TOngs.

A highlander war broke out in China
town about As o'clock this morning.
1t occurred in the notorious opium den
in the blind alley off Jackson street, Just
above Kearny.
The resort is ordinarily known as the
"Palace Hotel" and is the headquarters OF
the worst class of Chinese criminals and
opium fends.
Policemen Barry and Conway were at
tracted to the place by the blowing OF an
indefinite number of police whistles.
On their arrival they found Chinaman
yelling murder and trying to make his way
to the street. He gave the name OF Lum
Nong, and said that he had been stabbed
by Wong Sung.
An examination showed several deep
stabs and slashes on the side of his head,
and a search was made for the assallant.
He had fled to the rear, and was found
tucked away under bed.
On being dragged out he protested
loudly, saying that he had been assaulted
by Lum Nong, and IN evidence e1nlpiGeo
cut on his right hand.
He said that Nong owed him 81 90 and
that he attempted to collect it. The latter
refused to pay, and tried to kill him.
The police do not believe this story, as
Wong Lung is well-known highlander,
who has already served two terms in the
penitentiary for felonies
Both were taken to the old City Hall,
where it was found necessary to remove
them to the Receiving Hospital.
Lung was charged with assault with
deadly weapon.
The wounds of Nong, though painful,
will not be fatal.

WITH SLIGHT APPLAUSE.
flow the Presidents Financial Message
Was Received in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Discussion and fill
clustering on an appropriation to allow Con-
gressmen clerks at $1,000 per annum brought
forward as an amendment to the legislative APP
preparation bill retarded materially the pro-
gress on that measure in the House to-day. 1t
being evident that vote on the proposition
was impossible to-day the bill was later in the
day. laid aside and the business considered
until adjournment.
President C1eveland's message advising Con-
gress of an arrangement to sell 1862 409, 900 4
per cent bonds was received with slight ap-
plause on the Democratic side. Speaker Crisp
promptly referred the message to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means. There was no debate
on this reference and no outspoken objection.
The Speaker laid before the House message
from the President on the Hawaiian question
and the accompanying papers were read. When
the reading was completed Boutelle asked
whether motion to refer the message and dis
patches to the committee of the whole was in
order, in view of their demonstrating re-
markable and striking change of the public
policy of the Government between January 10
last, when instructions were given TO Rear
Admiral Beardslee in which the doctrine was
laid down that American citizens in foreign
chimes at the time of revolution and partici-
pating therein forfeited their claim to the pro-
lection of the American Government. AT this
point calls for the regular order were made,
and the Speaker referred the message and
papers to the Foreign Affairs Committee.
On motion of Richardson 3D. of Tennessee
the Senate bill providing for the immediate re-
lief of the suffering poor people in the District
of Columbia was passed.
On motion of Fithian the House agreed to a

bill relating to the navigation of the rivers
harbors and inland waters of the United
States.

over from the two previous Friday nights were
passed, and the House, at 4 Is P. NJ, adjourned.
