TARIFF AND TREASURY.
Report of the Ways and Means Com
nittee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-When Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means committee,
today reported to the house the tariff and
bond bills agreed on by the majority Of the
committee, they were accompanied by the
following report:
The committee on ways and means, to
who was referred so much of the presidents s
annual message and so much Of the annual
report of the secretary of the treasury as
relates to revenue and the condition OF the
treasury, and also the presidents special
message presenting the urgency of immedi-
ate action by congress, in direction cal
cuated to bring relief, report:
That the committee appreciates the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation and the Importance
of prompt remedies, so far as congress can
give them. Your committee regard the
chronic deficiency of revenue for the past
two years and half as a most potent cause
of the difficulties which the treasury has en-
countered and an important factor in the
creation and promotion of that serious dis
trust which has paralyzed business and dan
gerously shaken confidence, even in the
is as impossible for a government to have
a continuous deficiency of revenue for two
years and half, without affecting its fnan-
cial standing, as it is for an individual.
continue in this condition without casting
a shadow of doubt and encouragement over
all BUSINESS operations within its borders.
The serious fact which we are called upon
to confront is that in the two and half
years that have elapsed since July l, 1893,
this government has had an insufnciency
of revenue to meet current expenditures,
amounting in the aggregate to about $685.
000,000 And even in the first half Of the
present fiscal year the deficiency will reach
about $40, 600 coo, and about 100000 in this
present month. And up to the present time
there is no sufficient ground for opinion that
this insuficiency Of revenue Will not longer
continue during the remainder Of the fiscal
year, and how much longer no one can safely
predict. If the consequences Of such q
chronic deficiency were only the necessity
of borrowing money to meet current ex-
penses In time OF peace, even this would
afford abundant reason for increasing the
revenue. But the consequences are more
wide-reaching than that. Insuffciency of
revenue has made 1t necessary to use the
redeemed United States legal tender notes
to pay current expenditures, and thus to
supply additional means to draw gold from
tho greenback redemption fund-in short, to
create the endless chain" Of what the sec
retary OF the treasury complains, and which
has made it necessary to sell issue after
Issue of bonds to replenish the reserve. This
will be clearly seen when 1t is remembered
that the secretary has issued and sold lit
tle over s1S2,000,000 of per cent ten-yeer
and per cent three-year bonds, from
after redeeming s1S2, ,OCO 900 Of United States
legal tender notes with the proceeds, he has
been obliged to Immediately pay out $780,
900, 600 of these demand notes to meet cur
rent expenditures. and thus furnished $780,

RUssIA,s OFFER OF GOLD.
Some Of the Facts Just Coming to
Light.

Light.
WESTINGHOUSE 26-The facts in
regard to Russia's offer in 1893 to sup
ply this government with gold, with
which to help to meet the emergency
existing at that time, are gradually
coming to light. 1t can now be stated
on unquestionable authority that dur
ing the panic Of three years ago, which
resulted in heavy Withdrawals of gold
for export, the cZar of Russia, through
his minister here, Prince Cantacuzene,
offered to the government loan of
$60,O0O,O ,OG0 for the term of three years.
No specific rate Of interest was named,
nor was any details as to terms of re-
payment entered into, the prop
osition not passing to this state.
1t was simply a generous Of
fer Of a nation on particularly
friendly terms with ours and was not
coupled with any hard conditions such
as might have been reasonably expect
ed from a power on less friendly foot
ing with the United States. Mr.. Cleve-
land, after due deliberation, very cour-
teously declined the offer. He recogniz-
ed the generosity Of the offer and the
very friendly feeling that prompted 1t,
but he was unwilling to accept, fear
ing that at some future time 1t might
result in entanglements with other Eu-
ropean nations, which 1t has always
been the policy Of the United States to
avoid. The offer has not since been re-
peated. In the event of another bond
Issue. however, it possibly may result
in the loan being placed with Russian
capitalists, and it is probable the pres
ident has given some thought to the
advisability of proposing terms with
them rather than with capitalists of
other European nations in case all Of
the bonds are not placed in the United
States. At present, however, the mat
ter Of bond issue Is occupying a Sec
ondary place with the president. as the
more pressing matter of the selection
of the members CT the Venezuelan
boundary commission is consuming
practically bis entire time.

CLAIMING THAT THE NEW TARIFF

A DEMAND FOR MORE DEBATE.
Committee of Seven to Press the
Matter Before the Committee
on Rules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Republican
members of the house who are opposed
to the bond bill to be voted on tomor-
row met in caucus tonight at the Eb-
bitt house to mature plans for opposi-
ton. Forty members, representing
twenty-three state, were present. While
the Western and Southern states were
most largely represented, there were
also memb bers from the East and North.
more than half Of the Republicans who
antagonized the bond bill attended the
caucus, and that they have enough
votes to defeat the bill unless it is mod
flied.
Johnson (Cal), called the caucus to
order. Mr.. Broderick (Kan.), was elect
ed chairman, and Mr.. Colson (Ky.), sec
retary. The sentiment of the caucus,
as 1t was voiced In numerous speeches.
was in opposition to the issue Of bonds
in time Of peace, and that the green
backs ought not to be retired, at least
in the manner prescribed in the bill
There was no little talk to the effect
that the committee on rules should give
the rank and file Of the party oppor-
tunity to express their opinions on pro-
posed legislation before it was adopted
as party policy. The caucus chose a
committee of seven to confer with the
speaker and the committee on rules to-
morrow and ask for an extension of
the debate on the bond bill to two or
three days. Proposals were made that
it should be attempted to secure par
ty caucus, but it was decided to be too
late for such a step.
The members Of the committee Of
seven are: Broderick Ran.), Baker On.
HI, Boxers (Cal), Cannon Utah), Pick
ler Is. D., Milne (Mich.), and Burton
MOI They will urge on the committee
on rules that there is no exigency de-
manding 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 rule for de-
batting the bond bill amended so that
there will be opportunity to offer
amendments to the bill.

Harrison and wilmot.

Another brilliant exhibition Of BILL
iards was given last night at Foley's by
Harrison in the third game Of the SER
les with Walter Wilmot. He started
with seventy-five in the first four inn
tngs to Walters thirty-four. The game
from this to the twentieth inning was
rather tame. At this stage 1t stood 144
for Harrison to Ill for Wilmot. With
successive runs Of 20, 81, Sc and SS Har-
rison finished the game In the twenty
fifth inning, leaving Wilmot with a to-
tai Of 145 Harrison's average was 1913,
Wilmot's 6. The fourth game will be
played this evening.

CUTTING GOES ON.
No Improvement Yet in Eastern
Freight Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Eastern freight
rates are still badly demoraliZed, and
the cut rates are still in effect, notwith-
standing that the general managers
have issued an order calling for the
restoration Of the tariff all along the
line. The trouble seems to be that dur
ing the early portion Of this month,
when all the roads were cutting rates
so deeply, many Of the lines made con-
tracts at the reduced rates which are
still unfulflled, and they are now car
rying the freight to make up the
amount of tonnage for which they con-
tracted. 1t is expected that the cut
rates will now be in effect until after
the first Of the year.

Why He Wanted the kiss.

An amusing incident occurred the
other evening at the home of one of
Brooklyn's well-known citizens. 1t
was at the dinner table and the family
had been waiting for some time for the
arrival of the head of the house. The
father was unusually late, ana when
he entered the dining room he made
the round of the table, kissing the up
turned faces of the little ones Every
thing went well until he reached his
six-year-old son, precocious lad. The
father had kissed him and was about
to take his seat at the head of the
table when he was surprised at re-
quest from the boy for a second kiss.
The parent FASTENED to comply, and
was stunned by the boy eXclaiming:
Say, papa, what place did you stop in
at on the way home? like it" The
boy was commanded to be silent, but
later in the evening the husband ad-
mitted TO his wife that he had met
friend and-well, you know how it
goes. The boy will need watching as
he crows up.-N Y. Press.

No Training of Snakes.


One cannot train or teach a snake to
do anything whatever; their brain
power is so limited that the marvel is
how they have ever managed to survive
in the great competition, especially
when one finds that they are still on
the ascending curve" of evolution.
Most of them can be tanned to some ex-
tent by constant human companion
ship and judicious handling some
species very much more readily than
others; when they have learned to
trust, to appreciate the fact that there
is no necessity for self-defense, then
they may be trusted, principle which
applies to most animals; and there the
scope and possibility of their education
comes to an end. After that the most
that skillful exhibitor can do with
them is to adapt himself and his &C
tons to their movements, which by
familiarity he can pretty nearly antic-
ipate, so that these may appear pur-
posive and intelligent He may affect

ANOTHER RUSH.
The Opening of the KickapOo Reservation
Causes Another Rush for Homesteads.

The Opening of the Rsckapoo Reservation
Causes Another Rush for Homesteads.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The expected
proclamation opening the lands of the
| Kickapoo Indian reservation in Okla
homa was signed by the president Sat
urday afternoon. The time set at
which settlers may enter the lands is
Thursday noon, May %. The presi-
dents proclamation opening the reser-
walton to settlement next Thursday
was kept as secret as possible, even the
date being inserted at the very moment
when the president affixed his sigma
ture. This has been done in order to
prevent as much as possible any more
people gathering about the borders to
make the grand rush at noon on Thurs
day. There are only 531 claims to be
taken and it is estimated there are al
ready 5000 people waiting TO get them.
The proclamation is of great length
and recites all the laws enacted by
congress, under which the reservation
is to be opened
No soldiers are to be provided to
keep out the boomers before the hour
of noon on Thursday, but particular
attention is called by the president to
the fact that laws already enacted pro-
vide that any one who shall step with
in the border of the reservation before
that time is forever barred from taxi
ing up any land therein. 1t is supposed,
of course, that any sooner will be inn
mediately disclosed by his less for
tunate fellows, who will testify against
him and prevent him from acquiring
title. An endless amount of litigation
is sure to follow, however, and this of
course is anticipated.
Settlers will be requested to pay
81. so an acre, so cents of which doubt
less will be required for deposit on
original entry. All necessary prepar-
atoms have been made by land office
officials for carrying the provisions of
the proclamation into effect The re-
servation consists of 216,00O acres, but
131,O00 of this has been withheld for
allotments of the Indians and for
school indemnity purposes, leaving
$1,000 acres to be taken up. The lands
are subject to ordinary homestead
entry at the price of S1.50 per acre.
GUTHRIE, Ok, May 2O.-The news of
the presidents proclamation opening
the Kickapoo Indian country to set
Element created great excitement in
this section. Although everybody was
expecting the news, its sudden coming
surprised them. As a result, all is
fever and excitement in the towns sur
rounding the new Eldorado and every
thing, from bicycle to horse, is be-
ing got in readiness for a handicap
race, which bids fair to equal the great
rush to the Cherokee strip
One hundred and thirty-two thousand
acres will be thrown open to settlement
next Thursday at noon. Eighty-three
thousand acres have been reserved for
school land purposes, but Gov. Rem
frow gave out word yesterday that he
will Immediately throw open the school
lands
