WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Chairma n
Dingley, of the ways and means com.
mittse, has received letter from Sec
retary Carlisle. which Is private, but
which furnished some information con.
cernipg the condition of the treasury.
Dingley says the secretary offers to
furnish the house all the data that may
be needed. The condition of the
treasury is repre- sented as very serious.
and Carlisle urges legislation for gold
bonds. ~
Dingley has informed the secretary
that gold bonds are out of the question,
and could not be considered. Secre.
tary Carlisle did not say to Dingley
that per cent bonds cannot be aoated,
and did not discuss this feature of the
case. This denial Is made because a
report to this effect concerning the
secretary's letter is In circulation.

WHEN HGa COAL 1ivss ou1.

Then England win Be Ready to Under
take This Tremendous Project. F.
The Popular Science Monthly con-
tains On article describing a proposed
isthmus or dam across the northern
part of the Irish channel, the main OBJ
ject being to utilize the current through
this channel for mechanical purposes
The channel is 800 feet deep on the av-
erage, fifteen miles wide and the tidal
current from the north is ieight miles
an hour AS result fifty cubic miles,
or over 10000, ,ooo, 900 tons of water,
pass the point where 1t is proposed to
build the dam every day. The rate at
which the water moves gives each of
these tons of water the power of ten
foot tons, and the power developed is
therefore between $50, 900, 900 and 200,-
near at hand from which the materials
for the dam can be taken; and shipping
may be provided for by locks, or by en-
larging certain canals. g's
If the plan should be successful it
would make England practically inde-
pendent of her coal supply; but there
are obstacles in the way. For instance,
says the Brooklyn Citizen, 1t would be
impossible to transmit the electrical
power produced without loss, and
transferring it for more than 100 miles
is at present impr2cticable. It would
nevertheless be possible to useit in the
Lancashire cotton mills and perhaps in
the smelling works OF northern Eng
land. Electricity uay also be used in
cooking, and if the price of coal rose
somewhat it could be employed for
heating. As an engine requires about
one ton of coal year per horse power
to keep it running day and night, 1t
will be seen that England would IN
this new source of power have substi-
tute for her entire coal output The
cost of the undertaking is estimated at
Sl0o, 200, 600; reckoning interest at per
cent. this would be about cents a year
for every horse power produced, or
equal to cents ton for every ton of
coal Displaced. But the cost Of utiliz-
ing the force would be enormous It
is doubtful whether this plan is prac-
ticable as yet, but it shows how ground
less are the fears of those who think |
that civilization must cease when the
worldscoai supply gives out. Here is
an opportunity to secure horse power
enough to run all the mills and fur
naces in Great Britain. r'ae 10 sI

and negro employees of the Morrell
coal works had an actual battle last
night, in which one Hungarian was

yesterday the colored men, mostly
armed with Winchester rifles and re-
yolvers, attacked the Hungarian
settlement. They. began by firing,
into shanty where some Hungarians
were at supper, shooting one man in
the back. The negroes took their
station behind a fence on the township
road, and the Hungarians posted them
selves near the company's houses. A
hundred shots were fred.
After their ammunitiAn was ex-
hausted the fight was continued in
hand-to-h hand fashion. Seven negroes
were captured last evening.

migrants arrived at Ellis island the

the increase over last year is 61.944.
McSw eeney says the character OF emf
grants is.much'bett than in previous
years. This Improvement is due to the
rigid enforcement of the emigration
laws. He says the immig rants last

The immigrants of this year have

any quantity of itsstill floating around.
When the old man gets big bundlo
of the paper he sends it to Edison, the
inventor, who pays good price for it.
Edison uses it to make carbon for in.
candescent lamps. The paper upon
which the confederate notes were en-
