guardian, William N. Armstrong, yes
terday began an action against the st.
Paul Title Insurance and Trust COM
.pany, as trustee Of the estate Of George
W. Armstrong, deceased, and also
against George G. Armstrong. The
complaint alleges that in 1892 an agree
ment was entered into between the
trustee and George c. Armstrong and
the Nathan Ford Music company for
the erection of the building now known
as the Conover Music hall. By author
ity of the court, $4,000 was borrowed
for the purpose of putting up the build
ing, mortgage therefor being given
on the property. This did not prove
vanced the balance, relying on the rent
Of the building for payment The Ford
Music company became embarrassed,
and the rent had to be reduced for the
best interest of the trust. Then the
lease was transferred to another COM
pany, and the present rental, while
sufficient to pay the interest on the
loan of $4,000, is not sufficient to repay
the trustee. The amount of this claim,
together with assessments for street
paving and taxes, is $4,000. In addition
to this, $500 more will have to be paid,
and the action is brought to test the
right of the trustee to borrow $4,000 on
the estate to meet these obligations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-There may
be an important change made by the
ways and means committee in it's bond
bill before the scheme is brought be-
fore the house tomorrow. Considerable
dissatisfaction has arisen among the
Republicans since the text of the bill
was made public, the dissenters assert
ing that it could be used by a hostile ad-
ministration for the permanent retire
ment Of the greenbacks. In yesterdays S
committee meeting "a similar charge
was made by the Democrats, that the
Republicans proposed to secure what
they had always opposed, and what
President Cleveland advocated-retire-
ment of the greenbacks. Accordingly
there will be a committee meeting to-
morrow morning to consider an amend
nent prepared by Mr.. Hopkins, of Illi-
nois, which is as follows: provided,
that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to repeal or modify existing
law which authorizes and directs the
reissue of said legal tender notes.
Mr.. Hopkins is confident that the
amendment viii be adopted.
A partial canvass of the Republican
members Of the ways and means COM
mittee shows that, while there is prac-
tically unaninity among them in de-
string the accomplishment Of the object
Mr. Hopkins amendment has in view,
there is some doubt. concerning the ne
cessity for it. Members say that a
careful examination of the laws will
be made, and the question will be thor
ouglly discussed in committee tomor-
row, and that If the necessity for an
amendment in this. particular is dSsel-

Beard of Public Works to Consult
Property Owners.
The board of public works has under
consideration several preliminary Or
ders for street paving to be done next
year. Yesterday the board decided to
begin calling in the various property
owners interested and to grant them
hearing on the proposed improvements.
The first hearing will take place next
Thursday The preliminary orders are
as follows:
Pave Minnesota street, from Third to
Seventh street; Cedar street, from Third
to Eighth; Fifth street, from Wabasha
to Broadway; Sixth, from College to
Summit avenue; Oakland avenue, from
Ramsey street to Summit avenue;
Tenth street, from Cedar to st. Peter;
Robert street, from Third to University
avenue; Chestnut street, from West
Seventh to the Mississippi river.
None of these orders specify the ma
terial to be used. The preferences of
the property owners will determine this
question.
The foregoing orders do not provide
for all the paving to be done next year.
At the next regular meeting of. the
board of aldermen, Aid. Brady and E,1r-
manntraut will introduce preliminary
orders for the paving Of the following
streets:
Broadway, from Third to Seventh;
Sixth street, from Sibley to Broadway;
| Wacouta street, from Third to Seventh
street; Rosabel street. from Third to
Seventh; Third street, from Sibley to
Wacouta; Summit avenue, from Dayton

NO DEFICIENCY.

1t had been claimed on the other side
that there was a deficiency in the rev.
enues, but the statement was wholly
without official authority. The secretary
of the treasury had positively stated
that there was sufficient money in the
treasury to meet all obligations and that
there was no necessity for imposing ad-
ditional burdens in the way of taxa
ton. 1t was true, Mr. Crisp confessed,
that the daily receipts We're smaller than
the daily expenses, but there was a sur
plus in the vaults of the treasury sufti-
cient to meet any probable deficiency
three times over. 1t was not a question
of borrowing money, but a question of
using an asset which we have already
a question of getting money to pile up
in the treasury. Mr.. Crisp then pro-
ceeGed to argue that the Mckinley law
had been responsible for whatever de-
ficiency there was. He instanced the
fact that. the receipts under this law
had fallen off until, during the four
months preceding the Inauguration of
Mr.. Cleveland, there was a deficiency
of over $4,O00,000 This shortage had,
he said, occurred under law which
was the peculiar pet of the Republican
party; law which no Republican had
seen fit to criticise, possibly because of
the name it bore; law typical of the
Republican party, so framed as to de-
crease the receipts of the treasury and
increase those of private individuals IA
vored by it's provisions. 1t was under
this bill that the, revenue had fallen.
Furthermore, he had understood Mr..
Dingleyr to say that there had been no
expectation of gold previous to the in
auguration of the Democratic admins
tration;a whereas, as matter of fact,
more than ~S5S, ,O00, 000~ of gold had been
sent abroad during the nine months i'm
mediateiy preceding March, 1898.
Mr.. Dalzell (Rep., Pap said that the
pending measure was not a~Republican
tariff bill. 1t corrected none of the in
equalities of the present law. It was an
emergency measure, formulated un-
der the whip and spur of a pressing ne
cessity and history would record it to
be a conspicuous tribute to the patriot
ism Of the Republican party, which had
risen above party to respond to the
summons of Democratic president.
Mr.. Crisp yielded few minutes to
| Mr.. Bell -(Pop., Col.) who, on behalf of
the Populists of the house denounced

being issued to redeem greenbaeks, had
been paid again to meet current ex-
penses, only to come back again to the
treasury as gold demands. 1t was only
when sufficient revenue came into the
treasury that the gold reserve could be
protected. The ways and means COM
mittee had decided that this revenue
should be obtained from customs du-
ties for two reasons-frst, over Sl50,-
00O000 was now being raised from eX-
else taxes, and it was well founded
policy of the government in time of
peace to obtain the bulk of the rev.
enue from duties on imports. Second,
an increase of customs duties would
tend to turn the balance of trade in
our favor. Mr.. Dingley contended that
the gold must go abroad to pay the
balance against US. The bill proposed
by the committee, in the next two and
one-half years during which it was to
operate would raise about $40,000,000 to
stop the deficiency that was causing the
disaster. Mr.. Dingley then explained
N detail as he did in his report, argu-
1rents that had obtained in fixing the
duties on wool and woolens, lumber,
etc, which were not included in the
horizontal increase of Is per cent. He
closed with an explanation that this
was not q general revenue bill, and
said that the general change needed
would be postponed until the other
branches cf the government were in
harmony with the house.
Nj. Crisp, who followed Mr.. Dingley,
said the latter had asserted that this
extraordinary bill had been precipitat-
ed upon the country by the extraordi-
nary spectacle created by the presi-
dents MESA ge. In making this asser-
ton Mr.. Dingley had not observed his
usual care. If, said Mr.. Crisp, the pres
ldent's message had been the cause of
Ibis effort at legislation, the legisla-

TWELVE MORE HAPPY HOMES.
That Is the Number of Pianos Sold
by Fisher Yesterday.

There seems to be no let-up to the
rush for pianos at the factory cost sale
of the W. W. Kimball Company, piano
manufacturers, and which has been go
ing on for the past ten days at 140 and
142 East Sixth street, and in which the
manufacturers propose to dispose Of
two hundred of their over production
of this year at factory cost, instead of
carrying them over to be just that many
in the Way of the coming years out
put.
Many people are taking advantage Of
the sale to secure piano hundred dol
lars or two cheaper than can be had in
the usual retail way, and therefore the
big wareroom appeared fully as crowd
ed with piano buyers yesterday as any
day last week, twelve sales being re-
corded for the day UP to s p. M, at
which time customers were still coming
in. A few more such days and all of the
second hundred will have been taken.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 26.-Perhaps
the most unique game of football ever
witnessed in this country was played
at Citizens park this afternoon be-
tween a picked eleven from Yale and
Princeton universities and the Mem
phis Athletic club. The varsity men
won the game easily by a score of SO
to O. This is the first time in the his
tory of college football that the sons
of Eli and the man from old Nassau
have stood side by side in line up.
The affair was made the occasion Of
a great society event in Memphis and
hundreds of fashionable folk from
towns and cities near by came in to
see the big men from the East play
football. The day was an ideal one. A
bright sun burst through the clouds
before noon and tempered the rather
cold southeast wind to degree OF
comfort AS early as 2 o'clock people
began to pour into the park and at
$3.50, when play began, a fair estimate
placed the number present at 1000.
There is little to tell about the con-
test From the moment play began it
could be seen that the local boys were
fought the sturdy experts. The first
touchdown was made by Bingham. af-
ter five minutes play; Wheeler kicked
a goal. Pope secured the second
touchdown for the visitors, while
Wheeler added another goal to his
string. Poe, after a brilliant run of
twenty-five yards, made the third
touchdown for the varsity team, but
Wheeler missed the goal. Bingham
next made a beautiful run of fifty
yards and scored the fourth touch
down, Wheeler kicking another goal.
The first half was called with the score
standing % to 0 against the Memphis
team.

REPUBLICAN STRAITS.

Mr.. DOckery (Dem., MOI declared
that the adverse business conditions
that obtained under the Mckinley law
in 1892 had caused the overthrow Of the
Republican party in the fall Of that
year. These adverse conditions, he as
serted, compelled the secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. Foster, to use $54 LOCO, 900
of trust funds. Even with the use Of
that money he insisted that the treas
ury was on the threshold Of a bond is
sue when Mr.. Cleveland was inaugu-
rated. He produced something of sem
sation by holding up and reading Sec
retary Fosters original order to the
chief Of the bureau Of engraving and
printing to prepare with all possible
haste" the plates for a bond issue
Mr.. Turner Oenl., Ga.) maintained
that the pending bill would not fur
nish any relief. Gentlemen Oh the other
Mr.. Turner said, declines Democratic
applause). He sareasticelly Hkened
the pending bill to what the other side
in the Fifty second congress called the
''popgun" tariff bills, and raised
laugh by saying that the other side
should now send an apology to Mr..
Springer, who was then the chairman
Of the ways and means committee, to
his present home among the savages.
Mr. Turner described the manner in
which it was proposed to prevent the
Republican side from revising the tariff
in a comprehensive plan, and congratu-
lated the speaker of the house on the
adroitness with which he prevented a
general agitation of the tariff.
After some brief remarks by Mr.. Ar
mold Rep., Pa.) and Mr.. Knox Rep.,
Mass.) Mr.. Dolliver CRep., Io.) closed
the debate for the majority. His speech
was a most eloquent effort. The Re
