oLNEY's NOTE.
A Very Vigorous Declaration of
American Supremacy.

Accompanying the Presidents mes
sage Is the correspondence on the SUBJ

ney's now celebrated note reopening
the negotiations with Great Britain
looking to the arbitration Of the boun-
dairy dispute, which bears date of July
Goth last, and is addressed to Mr.. Bay
ard.
The Secretary begins by saying that
the President has given much anxious
thought to the subject, and has not
reached conclusion without a lively
as of the serious possibility of any ac-
ton now to be taken. He then COM
ments on the long duration of the
boundary dispute, the indefinite"
claims of both parties and "the contin-
! uous growth of the underlined British
. claims" the fate Of the various at
8 tempts at arbitration of the contro

WAYS AND MEANS TALK.
The House Seems to Favor Popular
Bond Issue,

Washington, Dec. 21.-There was
little informal discussion of the situa-
ton in the Ways and Means Commit
tee, directed mainly to keeping Con-
gress in session through the holidays.
Doubts were expressed whether 1t
would be possible for the House to get
down to work within week, but it
was thought the country would not
take kindly to an adjournment in the
present condition of financial affairs
with the Presidents message Enacted
upon.
No suggestions for legislation of any
sort were brought forward, nor was
it finally settled beyond doubt that the
committee would attempt to report any
plan for immediate action. The policy
favored by Mr.. Dingley is understood
to be for short-term, low denomination
certificates of Indebtedness, or bonds,
to maintain the gold reserve, and an
| advance of certain tariff schedules to
provide sufficient revenue for the ex-
| penses of the Government. There is a
general expression in the House in ia
vor of a popular bond issue, IL any
| temporary expedient is to be resorted
to. 1t is said that the President has
| the same authority to make bond
| issue as he had for the former bond
| issues. 1t seems to be conceded that
| congress VIII not leBlSldte Tor BOlQ
bonds, and that no proposition but a
coin bond can be passed. Tariff legis-
lation is also much talked of. The
House is almost unanimous in favor of
continuing in session.
Mr. Hepburn (Rep., Ia) said: 1T
looks as though the President was try
ing to take advantage of the position
Congress placed itself by the unani-
nous Endorsement of his foreign policy
to drive it to adopt his financial meas
ures, which he knows neither the Re-
publicans nor the Democrats approve
1t seems to me the surest way to allay
public uneasiness would be for Con-
gress to adjourn, thus showing that II
does not fear financial crisis"
Mr.. Walker, chairman of the Com.
: mittee on Banking and Currency, says
that in his opinion there are but two
; ways out of the present difficulty fol
the treasury These are: The con
tinued issue of bonds every quarter Of
) oftener, or a great increase in the reve
nue.. so that it will suffice to pay cur
: rent expenses of the Government, ant
> also to buy gold to maintain the con
, stantly diminishing reserve.
RI The Democratic members of tn
t Ways and Means Committee are dis
posed to let the Republicans do wha
: they will to initiate legislation.
q In the meantime the unsettled situa
v ton gives rise to a talk of Republican
q caucus to instruct the Ways and Mean
" COMMITTEES.
