WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Republi-
can members of the House who are
opposed to the bond bill to be voted
on tomorrow met in caucus tonight
at the Ebbitt house to mature plans
for opposition. Forty members, rep
resenting twenty-three states. were
present. While the western and south
ern states were larger in attendance,
there were also members from the east
and north. Claims are made by the
leaders that not more than half the
Republicans who antagonized the
bond bill attended the caucus, and
that they have enough votes to defeat
the bill. unless it is modified. John
son. of California. called the caucus
to order. Mr.. Broderick. of Kansas,
was elected chairman and Mr.. Colson,
Of Kentucky. secretary.
The sentiment of the caucus as it
was voiced in numerous speeches was
in opposition to the issue of bonds in
time of peace. and that the greenbacks
ought not to be retired, at least in
the manner prescribed by the bill.
The caucus chose a committee of
seven to confer with the speaker and
the Committee on Rules tomorrow
and ask for an extension of the debate
on the bond bill to two or three days.
Proposals We're made that it should
be attempted to secure a party caucus,
but it was decided to be too late for
such a. step.
The members of the committee of
seven are: Broderick. Kansas; Baker,
New Hampshire: Bowers. California;
Cannon. Utah: Picker. South Dakota;
Milne. Michigan; Burton. Missouri.
They Will urge upon the Committee
on Rules that there is no exigency
demanding the Immediate passage Of
the bond bill and that if one has
existed the revenue bill passed by the
House today should suffice to meet it.
They will also ask to have the
rules for debating the bond bill
amended so that there will be no op-
portunity to offer amendments to the

THE TURF

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-The Bay
District track was reopened today I'M
der the auspices of the California
Jockey club and a number of excel
lent events were run off in the presence
of large crowd. The G. H. Mumm
handicap valued at $1,000 for all ages
was the chief event, eleven horses fac
ing the starter. The Burns and Water
house pair, Potentate and Rosebud
coupled were favorites at 8 to 5. Lib
ertine at 8 to 1 was the most heavily
played horse in the race, but Ferguson
dropped the flag to such a miserable
start that he was never prominent
factor, getting off next to last in a
badly strung out field. 70 Ell Rey and
Joe K were left at the post. The race
was won in terrific drive by Perhaps

Increasing Hourly.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 26.-Anxiety
for the safety of the Miowera is increas-
ing hourly, and the opinion among ship
ping men is fast crystalizing into the be-
lief that when the cables with which she
was towing the Strathnevis separated.
they became entangled in the propeller
and put the Australian liner at the mercy
of the elements. a strange feature to
controvert this theory is her failure to
sound her whistle. The Miowera is a
three-masted schooner-rigged vessel, and
carries three yards for the foremost,
which enables her to carry a liberal
amount Of canvass. The idea in some
quarters prevails that she may have sutfi-
cient sail to keep her clear of land, so
that she could stand out to sea-
Since Monday night, when the steamers
parted company, a dozen vessels have
come in by the cape, thoroughly covering
the area from west to southwest of Cape
Flattery, but there were no signs of the
missing steamer
Captain Pattie and his officers refuse to
believe that the Miowera, after towing for
five days and coming back over zoo miles
of her track, to within ten miles of San
Juan de Fuca straits, and the larger part
of her fuel exhausted, would deliberately
abandon the steamship Strathnevis on the
lee shore of a rocky coast, where certain
destruction seemed inevitable.

SENTENCE SUSPENDED.

OMAHA, Dec 26.-The supreme court
tonight suspended sentence indefinitely
in the case of w. S. Raker editor of
the Gretna Record, who was sentenced
to the penitentiary for alleged libel

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec &c
The arrival Of the steamer Strath-
nevis after she had been given up as
lost, excited surprise among shipping
men, but grave fears are entertained
for the safety of the Australian
steamer Miowera, which had the
Strathnevis in tow five days
On the day before the Strathnevis
was taken in tow, Captain Pattie and
his officers, after realizing how
steadily she was drifting to the south
ward, decided to head for San Fran
cisco or some port in California. On
the next day the Miowera hove in
sight and the plan was changed I'M
mediately after breaking down i'm
provised yards were placed on the
masts and all the spare canvas avn
ingS were utilized for sails, which were
used with more or less success. At
times when gales were severe the
storm tore the sails into shreds.
During the nine weeks the Strath-
nevis was adrift and disabled she
encountered continuous gales and
heavy seas. The vessel lay almost all
the time in the trough of the sea- She
rolled frightfully, but shipped very lit
tie water, and her cargo was not dam
aged in the least. The officers and
crew, when they arrived in port, We're
thoroughly exhausted.
Much uneasiness is felt for the
safety. of the boat containing Purser
Mcdonald and four men, who left the
steamer intending to land on DeStruc-
ton island. The coast is particularly
rough and is lined with Jagged rocks,
on which several vessels in recent
years have been wrecked and a dozen
or more lives lost. Hope is held out
that he may have landed at Quilayute
Indian village in which event he would
not arrive here for weeks, as travelling
along the coast at this time of the
year is particularly dangerous
What has become of the Miowera Is
the serious question now confronting
shipping men. The officers and crew
of the Strathnevis refuse to believe
that she would wantonly abandon
them in such perilous position, ten
miles from dangerous coast and in
a. gale from the west The captain of
the Australian steamer said he would
have to return to the sound for fuel
as the supply he had on hand would
not last for the voyage to Australia
The price Of coal in Honolulu is $40
per ton.
Another remarkable and very
strange feature about the Miowera is
that when her hawsers parted she did
not blow any danger signal blasts.
The whistle on the Strathnevis was
blown continuously at short intervals,
but no answer came. The Miowera is
a valuable vessel, costing about $780,
600 and is subsidized by the British
government and the Australian gov
eminent to carry mails. The terms Of
the contract forbid delays of any ma
ture except to save lives. If the
Miowera is lost her owners will be I'M
able to collect any insurance, owing
to the dangerous work she was en-
gagged in when trying to save the
Strathnevis-

RUssIA.s OFFER.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-The facts
in regard to Russia's offer of 1898 to
supply this government with gold
with which to help to meet the emer-
gency existing at that time are gradu-
ally coming to light. During the panic
of three years ago which resulted in
heavy withdrawals of gold for export,
the Car Of Russia, through his min
lister here, Prince CanItacuzene, offer
ed to the government a loan of 60,000,-
900 for the term of three years.
Mr.. Cleveland. after due deliberation,
very courteously declined the offer.
fearing that at some future time it
might result in enlightenment with other
European nations, which it has always
been the policy of the United States to
avoid The offer has not since been re-
peated.

HARMON SAYS so.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-His atten-
ton having been called to publica-
tions stating that the department Of
justice had no confidence in his big
suit against the estate of the late
Senator Stanford Attorney General
Harmon said today that he had ex-
amfned carefully the questions in
volved and in the light of an adverse
decision he expected to establish the
claim against the Stanford estate by
securing a favorable decision from the
Supreme court of the United States.
If the government won the suit, he
added, it would be used as a prece-
dent to establish the rights of the
government against Mr.. Huntington
and other associates of Mr.. Stanford
in the Central Pacific enterprise.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The HOUSE
| today responded to the appeal of the
president by passing a tariff bill. the
operation Of which is limited to two
and half years and which is designed
to raise $4O,0OO.OOO for the relief Of the
treasury. The bond bill will be passed
tomorrow. The vote today was on
party lines with two exceptions. The
Republicans all voted for the bill ex-

was iron-clad in it's character and
compelled the members to adopt or
reject it without opportunity Of Of
ferlng amendments of any kind. AL
though there was the brilliant set
ting that usually accompanies a. field
day in the house. the debate lacked
much of the spirit and vim which
generally characterizes a partisan bill
in the lower branch of Congress. Even
the preliminary skirmiSh over the
adoption of the rule. which ordinarily
precipitates the fiercest WrangIine.
passed off quietly. The debate itself
was participated in by the leaders on
both sides. The Republicans contended
that the first necessity for the treas
ury was revenue to supply the con-
tinued deficiency. Every speaker de-
MED that the proposed measure was a
Republican protection bill It was.
they claimed. an emergency revenue
bill on protective lines. 1t was signifi-
cant that several. notably Mr.. DalzeIL.
Mr.. Payne. Mr.. Hopkins and Mr..
Grosvenor. predicted the passage of a
genuine protective measure as soon
as the Republicans gained control of
the White House. The Democrats took
the position that there was no lack
of revenue in the treasury and that
the passage of a bill to increase tax
alton would in no wise help the situa-
ton nor furnish the relief desired by
the president and secretary Of the
treasury.
The bill passed today repeats the
present tariff law until August 1. 1898.
1t restores so per cent of the Mckinley
rates on wool and woolens, lumber
and carpets. and makes a horizontal
increase of the present rates in all

There was no demonstration of any
kind at the announcement Of the
vote.

REPUBLICANS WANT TO MEET.

of the House to secure a caucus OF
Republicans on the bond bin immedi-

number of names, fifteen, was Sc
cured. The leaders discouraged the
plan, however, and Mr.. Hooker, OF

ers to withdraw their names. SO the
movement fell through. The petition
was addressed to the chairman of the

asking for caucus on the bond bill,
made the general request that a eau

The Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal,
Mr. Dingley, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, reported from
that committee the revenue bill, which
the speaker forthwith referred to the
committee of the whole.
Mr. Crisp Oem.), of Georgia, of the
House minority, said that the House
minority had had no opportunity to
prepare and file the views of the
minority.
Mr.. Henderson Rep), of Iowa, from
the committee on rules. then pre-
scented the special order under which
the House must operate. 1t was iron
clad in it's character.
1t provided that Immediately after the
adoption of the order it would be in
order to call up the revenue bill just
presented by Mr.. Dingley. and that the
debate should run until o'clock.
when, without intervening motion the
vote should be taken on the passage
of the bill.
Mr. Henderson demanded the previ-
Gus question on the adoption of the
order which was ordered without Oh
vision.
Mr.. Henderson then took the floor
and explained briefly the urgency
which necessitated such summary ac-
ton of the House on such an import
ant measure
Mr.. Crisp called the attention Of the
House to the effect of the rule under
which it was proposed to operate and
asked every member to weigh his
responsibility when he voted for it.
Against Whip and Spur.
He protested against the use of the
whip and spur for the passage of this
bill before the opinion of the experts
of the treasury department couIdAbe
obtained as to it's effect.
Mr.. Linney (Rep., y. c., after first stat
ing that as a Republican he favored the
measure which it was proposed to pass
asked if this rule would not extend to
Democrats the privilege of Offering amend
ments before the vote was taken
1T will not, replied Mr.. Henderson
The Democrats applauded this reply,
and Mr.. Crisp affirmed that the truth re-
been half elected by this question and
response.
Its object, he said, was not only to gag
the Democrats. but to prevent Republi-
cans from Offering amendments which
they might deem wise. 1t was an attempt
to make the Republicans appear unani-
