Among the bills introduced in the

RUSSIA oFFERs GOLD.

Great interest was excited in official
circles yesterday by the publication OF
a statement to the effect that the Rus
sian government has offered 10 lend the
United States any amount Of gold up to
500. DOC, OOO-one-half OF its total pos
sessions in this specie-in order to
maintain its credit against assaults
from the great money powers of other
European nations, and that, learning OF
this tender, the Rothschilds, through
Messrs. Belmont & Morgan, had made
oyertures to let the United States have
any amount of gold needed. The state
ment is accurate, so far as concerns the
fact that Russia rendered the United
States a part of its store of geld; but
this offer was 10 no manner Influenced
by the complications now existing be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, and was, in fact, made two
years ago, when the treasury was con-
fronted with rapidly-shrinking gold
reserve. Taking cognizance of the situa-
ton of the United States government,
with which it always had been on terms
of the closest friendship, Secretary
Gresham, through the Russian minister
to Washington, was notified that Rus
STA stood ready to part with half of her
store of gold, ifso much were necessary,
to the United States, in order to pro-
tect her old-time friend The offer was
gratefully acknowledged; but it was
found that the terms upon which gold
could be procured in the open market
were 80 favorable as to render it unnec.
essary to tax the friendship of Russia.
1t is understood the Russian offer still
holds good, aud about the only new
phrase of the situation is that this fact
has been made known freshly to the
European gold-brokers.
Secretary Carlisle yesterday declined to say
anything for publication concerning the story
that Russia God ready to loan gold to this
country. A high treasury off ials Us he never
heard of tho original offer ard does not be-
lieye that such an offer ia in existance. 9th
er treasury officials say the story is absurd,
as this government has already during the
p,st two years sold S164, 600 of bonds
10 obtain gold, upon which it is now paying a
high rate of interest.
1t was said too that the application of the
Moaros do trine which prevents this country Is
Interference in European political affairs, as
we'll az it prevents European powers inter
fering ia territorial aft iirs on this continent
wonld stop the United States, as nation, from
dealings with Russia as nation in financial
matters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.
General Walker, the one republican
Congressman from Virginia, who went
home to spend the holidays, thinking
that Congress would take the usual
Christmas recess, was in his seat in the
House to-day, having been called back
by telegraph to vote for the tariff bill.
The General says that from what he
learned while in his State he is induced
10 think that the constable provision o.
the existing election law of his State
will be stricken out, and that other
changes will be made in that law.
Congressman Tyler of Virginia has
appointed Mr.. Nelson Conrad of Prince
William county, son of Professor Con-
rad, formerly of Blacksburg College, to
the private clerkship TO which he and
other Congressman are entitled and the
salary of which is 500 a month.
The expectation that the sound
money democrats will unite with the
free silver and other republican oppo-
nents of the bond bill seems likely to
be realized.
A prominent Virginian, q member oil
the legislature of his State that passed
the Walton election law and that gave
charters to the two race tracks in Al
exandria county, but who is row out OF
politics, says be is convinced that the
election law is the best the State has

RAILROAD CoNsoLIDATIoN.-It is
rumored in railroad and financial cir
Giles that movement is on foot looking
to the consolidation of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad with the Southern
Railway system. The uniting of the
Baltimore and Ohio snd Southern
would be deal of the greatest
magnitude in contemporary railroad
history. 1t would point to the bring
ing together New York and Mexico on
the north and south, and Chicago and
st. Louis on the west, and the Atlantic
seaboard on the east, with the inter
vening vast gridironed territory, all
within the scope of a stupendous rail
system. The actual physical connec-
ton could be accomplished at or near
this city or Washington with insignifi-
cent trouble in the way of construction
and track-laying.
Major Shaw, chairman of the finance
committee of the B. & o. Company de-
MES that there is any truth in the rum.
ored consolidation. He also emphati-
cally denies that the January interest
on the bonds of the company will be
passed.

Crisp, said Mr.. Henderson, had said
this was bill to tax the people. "My

pay back to the people the millions of
which they have been deprived since

on the fourth of March, 1898. They

publicans have made no declaration of

war to Congress and three days AFTER
wards filed his petition in BANKRUPTCY
with the same body. Laughtes.) The
republican party is not in favor of war;
neither is it afraid of war. But the
country should take notice of the fact
that it has not yet exercised its judg-
ment upon the question. The Pres :
dent asked for an appropriation with
which to exercise his executive func-
lion, and the republicans promptly
said Take your money Let no one
under a misrepresentation run away from
that tempest in teapot"
Mr.. Linpey asked Mr.. Henderson if
the rule could not be amended 80 as to
permit democrats to offer amendments.
Mr.. Henderson replied that it was not
practicable; that differences were
dangerous.
Mr.. Crisp said the gentleman from
North Carolina was new member
that had not yet learned the kerr
mel of the situation. The reason
the rule was framed as it had been was
not only to prevent democracts from
proposing amendments but to prevent
republicans from voting for them.
Mr.. Henderson stoutly asserted that
Mr.. Crisp had entirely misinterpreted
his remarks; it was only because of
time that he had said differences were
dangerous. mo democrat could pro.
pose an amendment he said, (which
would justify republican in voting for
it.n
A vote by yeas and nays was de-
manded on the passage of the resolu-
ton, resulting: Yeas 219, nays 80. The
following republicans Foteu nSd'nou
the rule: Messrs. Connolly, Illinois;
Heiner, Pennsylvania; Linney, North
Carolina, and WILDER, New York.
Otherwise the vote followed party lines.
The bill was then laid before the
House and read by the clerk, together
with the report of the committee on
ways and means in support of the meas
ure.
Mr.. Dingley opened the three and
| one-half hours debate on the bill in
favor of its passage. He said that
when the Presidents message was read
to the House last Saturday every mem
Der felt that great responsibility rest
ed upon him. Under that sense of re
sponsibility, the committee on ways
and means began the preparation OF
measures to meet the emergency set
forth by the President.
Mr.. Dingley closed his remarks with
reference to the duty proposed on
wool and lumber and the benefits to be
derived from it.
Mr.. Crisp opened the debate for the
minority.
