She will make similar attempt to have
the Democratic convention located
there General Butterfield will to-mor-
row present New York'S claims TO the
committee. The New Workers, he said,
understand that they are regarded as
not being sincere in desiring the con-
vention, and this matter was broadly
| discussed by the committee during the
! trip over this afternoon. They are pre-
pared to show that this belief is un-
founded If they do not secure the con-
vention, it will be because they have
not votes enough. They want it if
| they can get it.
! General Butterfield added that COM
mittee of one hundred substantial citi-
zens has been formed to secure not
only the National conventions of the
great parties, but the annual meetings
of other organizations, commercial and
social, as we'll as political, believing
! that the people associated with the
movement will not only be benefited

with the Pittsburg contingent, whose
headquarters are especially attractive

Californians proceeded to the st. Louis
headquarters, where similar introduc-
tions followed. Tonight the Pitts

the call with due solemnity. The ut

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The House

spent in the discussion of resolutions

MORE BONDS.
Another Issue Probable Within the
Next Few Weeks.

Next Few Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The state
ment is made among those best quail
fed to judge, that in the absence of leg
islation to relieve the financial situa-
alton, another bond issue is altogether
probable within the next few months
at the farthest. The present condition
of the exchange market, and the COM
mercial situation generally, it is said,
point Enthusiastically to further large
Withdrawals Of gold, and without some
thing is done to prevent the usual
heavy exports during January and
February, which for the last two years
have forced the issue of bonds to recoup
the depleted gold reserve, a similar sit
uation viii confront the Treasury be-
fore the new year is far advanced.
The available cash balance in the
Treasury to-day, including the reserve,
is approximately S175, ,500, 600, and as
the Government has realized from its
three bond issues about $50, 900, 600, it
appears that but for these issues it
would now be without one dollar in
the Treasury, and in addition, would
have outstanding obligations to about
So, 500, 600. The excess of expenditures
over receipts amount to about S130,
000,000. The exports of gold during the
last four months have been 500, 1856 600.
So far this calendar year they amount
to S93, 600, 600. In 1894 the exports of
gold amounted to $101, ,S19,92 From
the best information obtainable it is
believed that the present month will
show surplus of at least 81 900, 600,
which will leave the deficit for the fis-
cal year, TO January /, about ST., 600
COO 1t is not expected that this amount
viii be materially increased during the
remaining months of the fiscal year.

ernment has against it He offered,
however, If the Railroad Commission
ers would consent to exempt the Cen
trail Pacific's lines from the operation
of their proposed reductions, to move a
dismissal of his bill of intervention,
with the consent, of course, of the
United States Attorney-General.
Attorney General Fitzgerald replied
on behalf of the Railroad Commission
ers. He contended that the United States
had no interest whatever involved.
He said it seemed very improbable that
the United States should have stood by
for sixteen years and permitted the
State Railroad Commission to regu-
late the rates of the railroads of the
State if the Government really denies
the right of the board to exercise that
power.
At the conclusion of the arguments
the matter was submitted, Judge Nc

the suit brought by the Southern Pa

Railroad Commission from putting into
effect its proposed rate reductions came
up before United States Circuit Judge
McKenna to-day. the first phase con-

Foote on behalf of the Federal Govern

Foote, in presenting his argument in
support of theGovernment's right to
intervene, which right was disputed by
Attorney General Fitzgerald, repre-
senting the Railroad Commission said
he based his Intervention on the fact
that the Government held mortgage
for many millions Of dollars, secured on
the Central Pacific's liens. which were,
of course, included in the Southern Pa
cific system, and would be affected by
the proposed reduction in rates, If

Notice of the Appeal in the Case of
Theodore Durrant, Convicted of the
Murder of Blanche Lamont, Filed
In the Superior Court at San Fran
cisco Yesterday Afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-An un-
usually bold burglary that profited the
thieves a large amount of plunder was
committed some time during last night
on Kearny street, between Bush and
Pine.
The firm of Hirsch, Kahn & Co, op-
ticians, at 1873 Kearny street, suffered
the loss of 81 900 worth of goods When
the members of the firm reached their
store this morning they discovered
nothing unusual about it's outward ap
pearance. The door was locked, as
usual, the windows were unbroken and
everything seemed to be intact But it
was soon discovered that one of the
showcases in the middle of the store
had been completely emptied of it's con-
tents, which consisted exclusively of
gold-rimmmed spectacles and other
glasses. An examination then showed
that the burglars had entered the store
from the rear through the store of j.
Lipman, matchmaker, $50 Kearny
street. From Mr.. Lipman'S store they

doors showed that some kind of fasten-
ing had been screwed in so as to prevent
the opening of the other door, thus as
suring the operators from intrusion
while at work.
An open trapdoor and other evidences
showed that the thieves had descended
to the cellar of the bird store and gone
through to the cellar of Hirsch, Kahn
& Co.'S place. There they attempted
to work through the floor to the bird
store above, but they abandoned that
plan and succeeded in making their way
up into Lipman's store. They broke
pane of glass in the partition that
incloses Mr.. Lipman's private office,
then cut an opening through the wooden
partition that divides the store from

Il
McKinIez Law.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ga meeting
of wool merchants was held at the Man
ufacturers' Club to-day to petition Con-
gress to re-enact the woolen schedule of
the Mckinley law. The resolution
adopted by the meeting was as follows:
Therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Philadelphia wool
merchants that the F'ifty-fourth Con-
gress be requested to re-enact without
the crossing of a "t'' or the dotting of
an ~ the schedule K of the law of
1890, by joint resolution, to go into ef-
feet after its passage.
The plan of those favoring this
method of procedure is to re-enact the
old schedule as revenue measure to re-
lieve the treasury, and to try and COM
pei President Cleveland to sign it under
threat that if it is vetoed Congress
would consider no other revenue bills,
but would merely pass the appropria-
ton bills and adjourn.
