AFRAID OF A GOLD CORNER,
Which IL Why the Bond Purchasers Want
Things Kept Quiet.

He asked for secrecy, he said, at the re-
quest of the financiers who have agreed
to take the bonds, ana because they feared
that the bankers would corner the gold of
the world against them if the time it
would be needed and the methods by
which it has to be obtained were known.
Accordingly the committee adopted n res
olution pledging its members not to re-
veal the terms of the document so far as
1t concerned the payments. Many que S.
tions We're asked the secretary which he
answered in order, giving the amounts of
all kinds of money in the treasury, and
much other information now new
When Reed asked why the plan which
ne recently proposed in the house as n
substitute for the administration bill was
not satisfactory measure, the secretary
proceeded to quote a feature of the act of
1874 which had not been before noticed in
the financial debates, and which seemed
To greatly invalidate Reeds scheme. This
clause binds the treasury to the redemp-
tion Of national bank notes by treasury
notes, when the holders formally request
Ii. Consequently the withdrawal of the
grccnbacks into the treasury, the secre-
tary argued, would not stop the drain of
gold upon ii, but would merely add an
other step To the process of obtaining
gold. rs financie.s could procure the ma
tional bank notes and secure treasury
notes for them.
In effect, therefore, the government is
bound to redeem bank notes in gold. To
obviate this difficulty the SECRETARY sug-
gcstsd that the committees adopt a plan
20 compel the national banks TO maintain
an agency for the redemption of their
notes and relieve the treasury of all bur

CUPID ENMESHeD IN THE LAW.
California Cousins Who Wish to Marry
Find Some Legal Ob,tructiOns.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13.-Captain Web
Der, of the tug Mile, has been requested
to make two sweet young people happy,
but he won't do it; in fact he is afraid to
do so or even to make n tame attempt at
the job. Thomas Doyle, a resident of the
capital city and an attache of the assem-
bly,, wishes to marry his cousin. a lady
from the same place, not on the hum
drum shore. but out, far out, upon the hor-
lions western verge, where the winds and
waves are free and where the state of Cal
iiornia cannot be an unlimited party to
the matrimonial compact.
So the skipper of the Millie was impor-
tuned to turn the little tug into we'd
ding barge and steam three marine leagues
to the west and splice the romantic couple
together, but the Millie, not carrying a
mast, is unauthorized to deport people
from the United States, even to get mar
ried. consequently Cupid cannot charter
Webber's craft. The Sacramento gentle
man searched the water front Sunday in
his fruitless quest, but the tugs with
masts were too dear. Doyle is still per-
severing in his labor to ship himself and
prospective bride on board some outgoing
vessel that he may be married indepen-

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-The Debs conspiracy

The first proposition of the defense was to

third was to adjourn repeatedly until the

SHORTAGE OF s363,5ae.52.
Discovery Made by the New Illinois stat
Treasurer.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. IA special to The
Post-Dispatch from Carlisle, Ills, says:
When Rufus Ramsey, who died suddenly
three months ago, supposedly of heart
1disease, went into the state treasury
two years ago he was thought to be the
wealthiest man in southern Illinois.
Within n week over S5O0.OOo in claims
against his estate have been filed, but the
most startling is that of the five Chicago
bankers, who were his surety as state
treasurer.
When Henry Wulff succeeded the dead
man he found a shortage Of 1858, 53y. 81,
which he communicated to his bondsmen
who have so far suppressed it in the hope
of reimbursing out of the estate of the
dead man. Now +. NJ. Blount and Carl
Moll, cashiers of two Chicago banks,
have filed in the county court claims for
the full amount of the shortage. In the
claims filed by Messrs. Blount and Moll
it is specially alleged that the shortage
was of the amount named, that the bonds
men made it good and that the claims
are filed for the reimbursement Of the
bOndSmen.

UNRESTRICTED BUT NOT FREE.
Tho Sort Of Coinage bill the Senate viii
Have Vote Upon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3-The senate fin
ance committee has concluded to try the
senate on a modification of free coinage.
The bill proposed and adopted as the com.
mittee's by a vote of 8 to 5 is the last Sec
tion of the bAll of Jones Of Arkansas,
which p Divides for unrestricted silver
coinage. the government getting the
seigniorage. The bill is in no sense what
the silver men want and is declared by
the anti-silver men a dangerous measure
more dangerous than even was the So
called Sherman act.
Republican senators generally are not
disposed at this time, however to at
tempt to prevent the passage of the bill.
When asked what policy they would pur-
sue, Aldrich said: I'VE would probably
not oppose the bill b the extent of trying
to consume time to ,es'vent its passage,
though of course We want to Sde-
bate it at some length for the purpose of
placing the matter before the country in
diligently"
Platt corroborated this statement and
added that he for one should not feel dis
posed to prevent action by the senate on
a financial bill IF the Democrats want
to take the responsibility for passing such
a bill as that reported" said he, Il am
willing they should" The Democratic
leaders have not yet decided whether
they will press the bill this session.

WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-The house com.

day-onc more Of the ten days within
which the treasury has an option to make
the new bonds payable in gold-and made
decided progress toward an agreement
upon a plan to be reported to the
house. After being closeted two hours
with Secretary Carlisle the committee
talked over the situation, delegated the
framing of an agreement to a sub-com-
mittee of three Democrats and two Re
publicans, and late in the afternoon
learned that its subcommittee had
dropped partisan differences and found
common ground.
Banks to Redeem Their Own Notes.
The resolution reported by the quintette
at this last meeting Of the committee was
one to authorize the secretary Of the
treasury to issue S62, ,OOi 900 in 3 per cent
bonds, payable in gold, with the provisc
that none of the proceeds shall be used for
current expenses, and the further provi-
sion, requested by Secretary Carlisle, re-
pealing the law which requires the gov.
ernment to redeem national bank notes,
and requiring banks to redeem their own
notes in the first instance. Inquiry was
made il there was minority report, and
Reed said that there was none, although
he believed a wiser plan would be to pro-
vide for increasing the revenues. Bynum
proposed his resolution as substitute.
Bryan sticks to the .sOption."
Wheeler of Alabama offered resolu-
tion reciting that Secretary Carlisle had
admitted that the issue of gold bonds
would compel all future issues to be made
payable in gold; that bimetallism had
been declared to be the policy Of the gov
ernment; that this would be an abandon
ment of bimetallism, and therefore de-
claring that the committee considered it
inexpedient to adopt the presidents rec
concentrations. Bryan of Nebraska Of
fered a resolution recommending that the
secretary Of the treasury should pay all
obligations of the government in either
gold or silver, whichever it was most con-
action on these propositions, and ad-
journed for the day.
