The Expected Loan.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-while nothing of an
official character can be obtained the indica-
tions are that the local bankers, including
members of the late bond syndicate, are pre-
pairing to handle new government loan. It
is not believed that the contract with the gov
eminent, if made, will provide. as the last one
did, for the manipulation of the foreign ex-
changes nor the protection of the gold reserve
for stated period. About as sure an indica-
ton as any that New York bankers are get
ting ready for a new loan is found in the de-
mand for gold in the open market. A bullion
dealer says: "During the past few days the
inquiry for gold has been large and in some
cases small premium has been obtained for
the metal. Many of those applying for the
metal are firms which figured in former bond
SI,500000 of the 100000 gold with

the belief in an early call for bonds, the idea
being that the gold will be used in the pur-
chase of bonds.

The Front Street Theatre Horror.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. % Not since
the awful Tivoli disaster in 1888 has
Baltimore been so horrifed as it was
last night when tragedy was enacted
at old Front street theatre which
has resulted in the death of 90 men,
women and children, while probably
100 are more or less seriously injured.
This morning twenty-one bodies have
been identified. There are still two
dead children at the morgue awaiting

At the city hospital there are ten
seriously injured victims, three of
whom are in critical condition. There
are possibly hundred others suffering
from bruises and broken bones who
were removed to their homes and of
whom little or nothiog is known by
the police.
DR.. Alexander Hill, coroner, has
summoned jury of inquest to meet
tomorrow to investigate the causes OF
last nights disaster. 1t is possible that
the grand jury will also be called upon
to take some action because of the as

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE,

The House entered upon the consid-
GRAFTON of the bond bill, which, in con-
junction with the tariff bill passed, con.
stitutes the relief which the republican
House of Representatives offers the
democratic executive to meet the ex,,
listing financial situation. The bA'
aroused the united opposition of the
democrats and populists, the gold dem
ocrats being arrsyed against it because
they claimed it did not give the Secre-
tary the authority to issue gold bonds
with which he desired to replenish the
reserve, and the silver democrats on
the ground OF their general opposition
to bond issues.
Mr.. Swanson, of Virginia, criticised
the method by which the tariff bill oil
Thursday was passed, and by which it
was proposed to pass the pending bond
bill without opportunity of amend
ment. Napoleon, when first consul,
had organized a legislative body which
could discuss bills sent to it by him,
but must adopt or reject them with
out amendment. The present meth
cd was like that of Napo.
leon. The House was forced to do
the bidding of its imperial master. As
the representative of constituency, he
protested against being deprived of his
rights. Speaking to the merits of the
bill, he announced his opposition to the
retirement of the greenbacks and to all
bond issues in time of peace.
AS Mr.. Swanson was closing lively
colloquy sprang up between him and
Mr.. Hardy, republican, Indiana, over a
question by the latter as to whether the
surplus in the Treasury of S72, coo, 000
claimed by Mr.. Swanson was part of
the 1852, OOO, 900 that President Cleve.
land bad borrowed.
The cross-6re of question and answer
and coupter.questions was so rapid and
confusing as to escape the reporters,
and shortly drifted into the realm OF
political contests. 81 was elected in 8
district that cast 81, 900 votes" asserted
Mr.. Hardy; show many votes did you

Mr.. Swanson-I received Is, 900 votes

1000.
Mr.. Hardy-How many votes were
cast in your district?
Mr.. SWANSON don't know. Gre
publican laughter) But what has thai
got to do with the matter?
Mr. Hardy-There were more votes cast in
two districts in Indiana than in your whole
State.
Here the hammer fell and the House was
left in a state of Ignorance as to the merits Of
the original subject of colloquy.
The feature OF the day was a strong speech
from Mr. Johnson. of C llifornia, appealing TO
his republican colleagues to vote against the
bill. He scored the republ can leaders for
bringing in the bill. He said he had voted
for the revenue measure under protest bat he
refused to follow them on the present bill

render of principle, he declared, would never
