GOLDEN STREAM FLOWS our.
But Another Issue of Bonds Is Not Yet
Contemplated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The news
that approximately S5,0OO,000 in gold
would be shipped abroad tomorrow
created something of a stir among
Treasury officials, although heavy
Withdrawals had been expected The
near approach Of the re-assembling of
Congress seemed materially to lessen
the alarm, which otherwise would
have been felt. There is little expecta-
ton, however, among Treasury Off
clals that the coming Congress will
enact any financial legislation in con-
formity with Mr.. Cleveland's views or
those of Mr.. Carlisle, especially as to
the retirement OF the greenbacks, but
it is expected that Congress, by some
means, will afford at least temporary
relief.
At the Treasury Department no pre-
parations are making for another bond
issue, and it can be stated on authority
that none is at present i'm contempla-
ton. The true amount of the gold re-
serve at noon to-day was $50, ,30O,251

AN OVATION TO DEBS.
ThOu Crecs Him ON his Release
From Jail.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22-Eugene Debs
spoke in Central Music Hall tonight
to an'audience that taxed the seating
and standing capacity of the hall. Most
of the leading labor organizations
were represented, and the reception
accorded TO the leader of the American
Railway Union was enthusiastic i'm the
storm. Eight carloads Of Debs' friends
went down to Woodstock to greet him
on his release from Jail, and several
thousand were at the station when the
train bearing Debs and his friends
arrived at : o'clock.
The reception given Debs as he step
ped from the train bordered on the
frantic. Hundreds of men pushed and
struggled TO get a grasp of his hand.
many of them hugged him, and some
went 10 the length Of kissing him.
Finally he was tossed upon the shout
ders of four men and followed by a
dense throng that never for an instant
stopped its shouts. He was escorted
to the hall, about one mile distant.
The warmth at the depot was re-
peated when he entered the hall. with
the exception that the men were un-
able to get close to him, and contented
themselves with cheering and waving
their hats.
The speech delivered by Debs was
received with great applause by his
audience.

CONSTITUTIONAL o,nveNT1os.
Number of Supreme Court Judges In
creased 10 -Four.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 22.-The Con-
stitutional Convention to-day took up
the judiciary article. 1t was decided
to increase the judges of the Supreme
Court to four instead of three, and
their terms of office are changed to
eight years instead Of six as at present.
An effort was made to have all Judges
elected by the people instead of the
Legislature, but this was defeated by
a vote of 90 TO Sc. In eases of tie in
the Supreme Court, all the Circuit
Court judges are to be called in to
decide the issue, except the one MAX
ing the original decision.
The only changes of Importance be-
sides making the Supreme Court con
sist of four judges instead of three, to
serve eight years instead of six, was
granting the power to the legislature
TO establish county courts.
Notwithstanding the positive refusal
of the convention about a month ago
to recognize divorces in any manner,
shape or form, it took action tonight,
which validates in this State divorces
granted in other States to a certain ex-
tent.
Senator Tillman introduced an ordi-
nance providing that courts should
recognize divorces granted heretofore
or hereafter in other States, of the
Union, provided that the marriage
actually took place outside Of the
State and one of the parties was
neither a native of the State nor at the
time of the ceremony was a citizen of
it. Its passage legitimizes hundreds
of children of the State.

DEMOCRATS THINK CONGRESS

SUMMER
ORGaNlZaTlOs or the SENATE

The Steering Committee, IN Three
Hours Session Yesterday, Discussed
t eSiJuauoa and Decided Jo1t ,.' Un.
mitCoaIs be seen what the 2epub-
ijcans aud populists Would Do-The'
General Question Of Party 'oiicY
was Also Considered.
WASHINGTON. Noy. 22.-Tha fact
trauspired to-day that the Democratic
steering committee of the Senate held
Il meeting i'm this city of three hours
duration on Wednesday last The
members who were present are very
reticent as to what occurred but il is
known that a thorough canvass was
made Of the Democratic situation with
view to deciding upon line OF poi
icy i'm the next session.
The question of the organization of
the Senate was discussed at length
The committee did not reach a final
conclusion on this matter, but NheE
it adjourned there was a general under
standing that unless future events
should make a change desirable, the
committee will recommend to the Dem
ocrats in the Senate to make no move
whatever until the Republicans and
the Populists shall develop their plans
1t appeared from the discussion that
the Democratic Senators are divided
as to the policy TO pursue, some advo-
eating an active effort to retain Dem
ocratic control of the Senate, which the
others advise a surrender to the Re
publicans without struggle. ,
The steering committee finally con-
cluded that it would be wise to wait
until it was made plain whether the
Republicans would be a unit in their
desire to take control and whether the
Populists would hold together or some
of them would agree to assist the Re-
publicans. This the committee felt
the Democrats could afford to DO. ip
view of the fact that the Senate Is a
continuing body and the present or
ganization holds unsupplanted by am
other at the will of the Senate In case
of the absence of the Nice-President if
would grow necessary to elect Pres
ident pro TEN, but it is believed by the
Democratic managers Nice-Pres-
ident Stevenson's presence can be
counted upon. shu 4iI..
Some of the Democratic Senators
consider it very doubtful whether the
Republicans can get together upon a
plan of organization. At any rate
they don't expect the Republicans To
take aggressive steps until after the
Utah Senators shall come in and il
shall be determined what disposition
shall be made of Mr.. Dupont's claims
to the vacant seat from Delaware.
There are indications that the com
mittee also considered the general
question of party policy with refer
ence to legislation which shall be pro-
posed by the Republican party ip the
Senate and House and there are rea-
sons for believing that the steering
committee will recommend deter
mined effort all along the line / res
tore Democratic prestige in the conn
try. One plan which probably Will pe
adopted to this end is that of insisting
upon a thorough discussion of all in
structions which may be presented
Members of the steering committee
therefore scout the idea of short seS-
sion.
