Colonel j. Thomas Goodc. OF Meckieh-
burg county. whose contested eleCLOii
case against the sitting Democratic mem
Der from the Fourth Virginia district mas
been before the Elections Commlttee
during this Congress was upon the hoVi
OF the House th.s morning When as"ei
about his case, Colonel Goode sald:
For some time | have heard rufnoFs
TO the effect that the committee on
Elections had determined not TO make
any reports upon the three cases no"
remaining Enacted upon. In two OF these
/ understand the Republicans nave the
sitting members. and IN the other my OPP
ponent holds the seat / scarcely credited
the rumOr as far as II affected my case.
for IL was argued fully before the com
mittee last April. and the chairman,
MIR. Brown. was appointed the sub
committee TO make the report, and MS
Assurances to-day have convinced me
that a report will be made. Judge Dan
iels. OF New York. has filed his ndiv!d-
ual views OF the case before the commit
tee. and he has certainly presented my
case In its proper Eight;
"Of course continued Colonel Goode,
am confident OF the ultimate result OF
the contest, and hav.Hg been Democrat
all my life. | was sorry to have IL ru-
mofed that the majority in Congress
would fail TO report upon "a case Simply
because it's Judgment of the case I'm the
light OF the facts were in my favor. and
against the regular Democratic candi-
date"
Colonel Goode talked with nearly all of
the members of the committee to-day,
and also several OF the Virginia mem
bers. He VIII remain In the city some
days
FREE DELIvIRY FOR MANCHESTER.
For more than a year Capt. George y.
Wise has been anxious 10 secure for the
city OF Manchester a free delivery sys-
TEN. There are two methods under VIII ch
this can be accomplished. First, by virtue
OF lu@o Inhabitants and again Dy post
office receipts OF $4,000 per annum. Capt.
Wise yesterday rece we'd a letter from
Postmaster Toney. of Manchester, ad-
vising him that the receipts of the office
had increased to an extent that warranted
him In the belef that the $1,000 mark
would be- reached within the year,
captain Wise was highly gratified al the
letter. and at once began preparations to
secure the above result without delay
aItef the required receipts are reached.
Th.s move would have the result not
only of greatly benefitting the patrons OF
the Manchester office by the delivery of
their mall. but would insure Increased
mail facilities and the appointment Of
several carriers In that city
TIE FINANCIAL PROBLEM
Another legislative week has passed into
liStOIV. and uOtWit his hiding fhe alferna-
live of SILVER basis or more bonds Is all
that Is left for the Secretary of the Treas
ury. absolutely no relief has been offered
him by either house of Congress. With
only twenty-five legislative days left.
fnai eIal legislation of any description
seer IS now almost an impossbility.
To-Day the gold reserve in the Treasury |
has reached the alarmngly low figure of |
hftY-two million, scarcely enough 10 meet |
thf ordinary demands of the next two
weeks. With this depleted exchequer an
Gher bond Issue seems inevitable, aad
no surprise was created when it was
Ninted at the Treasury Department that
the Secreta,y wouid a.teinpt TO foat an
other issue of one hundred million bonds
early next week. These bonds, it is stated,
VIII be OF similar denominations to the
last issue. and VIII bear interest at the
rate of 3 Ia per cent. OF course this VIII
not be rendered necessary If the early
days of next week holds out any promise
OF legislative relief. The only hope for
that, however. is based on the renewal Of
the rumor of yesterday that the PreSi-
dent would send a message 10 Congress
on Monday next. The sending of this
message has been considered a remote
possibility for some time and it may be
now that the President. wearied and al
most disguised at the many frutless eff
forts of the leaders of his party to reach
an agreement Will be forced 10 do what
he has tried TO avoid all along, and the
much predicted message may even now
be In course OF preparation.

Messrs. Springer Cox and Warner are
latterly doing all of the talking FOR the
Finance Committee. Occasionally Mr..
Hall, Of Missouri. is added 10 the trio.
but IL does not appear that their efforts
amount TO much, and II is certain now
that any measure that they would agree
upon would not only be antagonized by
the silver men. but also by the eastern
Democrats, such as Messrs, Sperry,
Coombs and others of that Tx.
The Senate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds were barely able TO mus
ter an executive quorum at Their meeting
to-day, although several bills were re,
ported TO the Senate. The bin offered

fthe grounds OF the United states Mint at
that place and use same for park pur-
poses. was favora5ly reported 10 the Sen
ate by Mr.. Morrill,.
The bin offered 10y Senator Wilson pro-
vi1lng for the use OF portion of Gar
al
ment printing office. which Is the only
bill for that purpose now pending In that
committee was not called up on account
of the absence OF Senator Gibson.
