lowing Issuance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Senator
Mills has given notice of the following
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation BILL
And all laws which authorize the
secretary of the treasury to sell bonds
of the United States for any purpose
are hereby repealed"
The amendment is intended to follow
the paragraph in the bill making pro-
vision for the collection, safe keeping,
transfer and disbursements of the pub
lie money, and for transportation of
notes, bonds and other securities.
Upon being asked whether it was his
intention to press his amendment pro-
hibiting the sale of any more govern
ment bonds, Senator Mills said:
Such is my intention. l mean to press
it to the utmost limit when the sundry
civil bill comes up
DO you expect to get majority for
it?' he was asked.

termined, but 1 propose to see whether
there is a majority which believes in
the prohibition of bonds sales in the
future

extra session in case you succeed in
having the amendment inserted?" was
the next question asked. To this the
reply was:
Il don't care if it does. I propose to
secure the adoption of the amendment
if 1 can, and I shall not be deferred by
fear of an extra session. I should per-
sist in the course 1 have decided upon
if by so doing I should be the means of
holding congress here for the next five
thousand years.

SUNDAY SENATE SESSION.
PettiGrcw Opposes the Plan to
Railroad the Pooling Bill
Throus~H


WASHINGTON, Feb. Pas the SEES
sion of the senate was about to close
tonight, Mr.. Pettigrew, of South Da
kota, gave a decidedly interesting turn
to the otherwise tedious debate on the
Indian appropriation bill. 1t has been
discussed for several days, and Mr..
Call, in charge of the measure, sought
to secure an agreement for final vote
tomorrow. There were numerous OBJ
jections, and among them one from Mr..
Pettigrew, which was emphasized by
the brief but pointed statement he
made. 1t was in the nature of dis
closure that a private arrangement
had been reached among senator's
whereby the pooling bill would be
taken up at 8 o'clock tomorrow after
noon and held before the senate day
and night and over Sunday until passed.
The statement came so unexpectedly,
and was the sequel to such active work
throughout the day by the friends of
the pooling bill, that it created some
thing of a sensation among the sena-
tors and spectators. Mr.. PettigreW
added to his announcement that he
would take effective steps to defeat the
passing of the pooling bill by Directing
to the disposal of the Indian appropria-
ton BILL or other measures having pre-
cedence.
The contract school item of the In
dian bill was completed, in such form
as to provide a 20 per cent reduction
from the expenditures of last year. Mr..
Morgan, of Alabama, spoke throughout
the afternoon in favor of judicial sys-
tenn for the Indian territory, but his
amendment to that effect was finally
ruled out of order.

this, and also stated that on the

fact, in connection with McCOy's tes'

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-The fol-
lowing correspondence, which eX-

William P. ST. John, president OF
the Mercantile National Bank OF
New York, and Representative
Springer, chairman Of the commit
tee on banking and currency. The
first is a letter addressed by Mr.. 81.
John to Mr.. Springer, in which the
former says:

present composed Of about $lOo, OO0,C00

more interest-bearing debt will need

the secretary of the treasury still
neglects this opportunity, the neg
lect may prove one more just ground
for fault-fnding with his admins
tration on public finances"
To this letter, Mr.. Springer re-
plid: I'm answer to your letter, per-
nit me to say 1 am under the pro-
found conviction that the present
condition Of the treasury reserve
and liberal accumulations of idle
money in New York afford together
a new opportunity for you to eXer-
else the discretion conferred on you

standard silver dollars. If you should
pursue this course for a reasonable
time the achievement would be in

you should neglect this opportunity,
the neglect may prove one more
ground for fault-finding with those
fnanciers who preach one doctrine
and practice another"

in case a vote could be reached, and he
believed a clear majority would be
shown on the vote for consideration.
While Senator Butler would name nc
figures, it is understood that other
friends of the bill claim that a final
vote would show that tWo-thirds OF
the members of the senate favor it.
The opponents of the bill conceda
that if a vote should be reached it
would pass, but they are determined
in the declaration that it shall not
reach the point when the test of its
strength shall be made. The tactics
which they will pursue were fore
Swallowed in Senator Pettigrew's brief
statement in the senate just prior tC
adjournment tonight. The feeling is
such as to make it clear that there will
be a very sharp clash when the effort
is made to take the bill up, and the in
dications are for period of most de-
cided parliamentary sparring against
the measure, which will probably be
led by Senator German on the Demo-
cratic side, and by Senators Chandler
and Aldrich among the Republicans.

out the obligations imposed upon US
by our voluntary act in submitting.
the sealing question to the Paris arbi-
tration.
The Paris arbitra ton ruled out all
claims for consequential damages and
allowed claims only where the vessels
had actually been seized and where the
crews had been imprisoned. Even On
this basis the claims amounted to
nearly a million dollars. Besides,
there were about two score men, Off
GERS and crews of the seized vessels
who suffered imprisonment, and their
claims were compromised for about
$4,000 by the agreement made by
Secretary Gresham.
The secretary believes that if all
these claims are submitted to a com
mission for adjustment the United
States will fare much worse than I'M
der the terms of the pending bill.

DAYTON, Feb. 22.-All arrange
ments for the nuptials Of Miss Lucia
Bloom, of Springfield street, and Fred
Baker, of Bell street, were completed
and the ceremonies were to have taken
place at Holy Trinity church at 8
o'clock this morning, but the groom
failed to respond and the wedding
breakfast was unattended by a bridal
party. The reasons for the nonappear-
ance of the groom are as yet unknown.
The two had been devoted lovers for
more than a year, and their engage
ment and the proposed wedding day
had been announced. There was a
large attendance at the brides home
to participate in the feast, which was
to follow the wedding. Mr.. Bakers
failure to arrive on time led to inquir-
les and a search, but nothing could be
learned of his whereabouts. The two
were together Monday evening last
consulting as to final arrangements.
Religious differences, it is supposed,
cause the groom to back out, inasmuch
as the bride is a Catholic and the groom
a Protestant. However, it was sup
posed that these differences had been
settled.
