THERE is BUT ONE SURE CURE
Secretary Carlisle Discusses the Situation

Secretary Carlisle Discusses the Situation
and Criticises Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - Secretary
Carlisle made the following statement
to the Associated Press in response to
the following question::
What, in your opinion, will be the
effect upon the financial situation Of
the tariff bill passed by the house Of
representatives.
II had," said Mr.. Carlisle, supposed
that very few could now be found who
believe that our financial difficulties
were caused by deficiency in the ordi-
nary revenues of the government, or
that they can be relieved by increasing
taxes upon the commodities consumed
by the people. These difficulties are
the necessary result of our financial
legislation, and they cannot be re-
moved, even temporarily, by tariff laws
nor by any other measures which do
not directly enable the government to
procure the means necessary for the
maintenance of gold payments
But One Permanent Remedy.
DO you think then that the bond
bill now before the house will furnish
any relief to the treasury
Il am satisfied that there is but one
permanent remedy for our financial
providing for the retirement and can
collation. of the legal tender notes, but,
recognizing the fact that such meas
ure would require time for it's consider
alton and for its complete execution, if
adopted, I had hoped that congress
would immediately take the necessary
steps to assist the government in its
efforts to procure and maintain such a
gold reserve as may be required to re.
move the distrust and apprehension
which have
Precipftated the Present Emergency.
The bill reported by the committee on
ways and means falls very far short OF
the requirements of the situation, and
its passage will not beneficially affect
the situation with which we now have
to deal. Our difficulties were produced
and have been prolonged and aggra'
waited by the fear that, Notwithstanding
all the efforts of the administration
we may ultimately be unable to pro
cure gold for the purpose of redeemins
our notes, and consequently be forced
to silver basis, and this fear cannot bt
wholly removed until some action il
taken by congress clearly indicating {
purpose to pay all our obligations il
gold when demanded by the holders.

CAUSING .MuCH UNEASiMESS.

Spanish Officials Would Like ts Locate
the Insurgents.
HAVANA, Dec. 30. In spite of the re-
ports received here that the mann body
of the insurgents had retreated from
the province sof Matanzas and were
once more in Santa Clara, reports com-
tinue to come in Of damage done at
various points in Matanzas and of
sthreatened movements of bodies of in
surgents. Whether these are wander
ing and isolated bands cannot be esH-
mated accurately. An engagement
with an insurgent band is also reported
from the provinceeo Pinar del Rio, the
westernmost.on the island.
Uneasiness is also caused in official
circles by reports that come from San
tiago de Cuba. Tie report of Jose
Maeeo's flight seems to have been with
out foundation, as there are renewed
evidences Of his activity in that prov
ince, and the troops stationed there
Are Finding Abundant Occupation.
The Spanish authorities have reason to
suspect that a movement is .contem-
plated i'm the Oriental province to
bring about a junction of the insurgent
bands there and troops are actively en-
gagged in trying to prevent the coming
together of Jose Maceo and Rabi, whose
combined forces would afford means
for formidable movement that would
effect a diversion and prevent the with.
drawal Of Spanish troops to reinforce
those acting against Gomez, Antonio
Maceo and Bandera in Matanzas and
Santa Clara provinces.
Nothing authentic is known of the
immediate whereabouts and doings of
Gomez and his forces who were said to
be threatening Genfuegos. Nothing
has been heard from there, though
several skirmishes are said to have &C.
cnrred in Santa Clara province.

REVENUE MEASURE
BILL TO INCREASE THE TARIFF
PASSES THE HOUSE.

There IL Great Opposition to the Bill
Providing for Bond Issue-Carlisle
Crittcises Both the Bond and Tariff
Measures,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The house
has responded to the appeal of the
president by passing a tariff bill, the
operation of which is limited to two
and half years, and which is designed
to raise $40, 900, 600 for the relief of the
treasury. The vote was on party lines,
with two exceptions. The Republicans
all voted for the bill except Hartman OF
Montana, who did not vote, and the
Democrats and Populists against it save
Newlands Pop, New. who voted in
favor of the measure.
The special order under which the
bill was brought to vote, after three
and half hours of debate, was iron
clad i'm its character and compelled the
members to adopt or reject it without
opportunity of offering amendments Of
any kind.
Debate Was Lacking In Spirit.
Although there was the brilliant set
ting that usually accompanies a field
day in the house, the debate lacked
much of the spirit and vim which gem
orally characterizes a partisan battle in
the lower branch of congress. Even
the preliminary skirmish over the adop-
ton of the rule which ordinarily pre-
cipitates the fiercest wrangliug, passed
off quietly. The debate itself was par
ticipated in by the leaders of both sides.
The Republicans contended that the
first necessity of the treasury was reve-
nue. to supply the continued deficiency.
Every speaker denied that the proposed
measure was a Republican protection
bill. It was, they claimed, an emer-
;gency revenue hill ON protective lines.
It was significant that several, notably
Mr.. Dalzell, Mr.. Payne, MIR. Hopkins
and Mr.. GrosEenor, predicted the pas
sage of a
Genuine Protective Measure
as soon as the Republicans regained
control of the White House. The
Democrats took the position that there
was no lack of revenue in the treasury
and that the passage Of a bill to increase
taxation would in nowise help the stu
alton nor furnish the relief desired by
the president and secretary of the
treasury. AL who took part in the. de-
bate acquitted themselves we'll. Mr..
Dingley and Mr.. Dollwer of the Repub-
ilicans, and Mr. Crisp and Mr.. Turner
of the Democrats, carried off the
honors.
The bill just passed repeals the pres
ent tariH law until Aug. l, 1898. dire

'ules, except sugar, of 1t per cent. When
the bill was put upon its passage. itwas
passed ,2O5 to 81. The vote was taken
by ayes and nays. There was modem
onstration of any kind at the: announce
ment of the VOTE Mr.. Cannon, the
delegate from Utah, asked for immedi-
ate consideration of a joint resolution
directing the secretary of the Territory
of Utah to turn oversto the governor OF

tive proclamation admitting that terri

HARVEST OF THE WORLD.
Wheat Is Over $50, 100000 Bushels
Short of the 1894 Crop.

Wheat Is Over 15O,OOO,OOO Bushels
Short of the 1894 Crop.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O-Official cal
culations made in Russia and trans
mitted to the state department by
United States Consul General Karel at
St. Petersburg, show that the present
years harvest of grain in the whole
world is much smaller than last year
and compared with 1894, the decrease
is, in wheat $50, 467 900 bushels, and rye
l28, 900 bushels. Other grains
turned out better. In Russia, the har-
vest was short 55,371 900 bushels of
wheat, and SS,345, 900 bushels of rye
The Russian financial organ therefore
commends the policy adopted by Rus
sian dealers of holding back their grain
to obtain better prices later on.

first section of the bill, against which

had .marshaled every available vote in

CLEVELAND DOESN'T LIKE lit.

Said to BE Much Opposed to the New
Bond Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-E is under
stood the president and his advisers
strongly oppose the house bond bill.
Aside from the objection that the bonds
are to be redeemed Ina coin Instead Of
gold. it is understood that the requiue-
ment that they are to be sold by sui
scription is disapproved. The sexper-
fence of the government. it is said, with
sale by advertisement, shows the in
effectual character of this means of pro-
lection to the gold reserve. On former
occasions it has resulted in heavy with
drawals of gold in excess of imports
where under sale to the syndicate very
few Withdrawals were made for export
during the life of the contract. Again,
in these advertised sales individual sub.
scriptions only amount to small per
cent of the total, the balance going to
banks and other institutions. The
ability of the government to float any
great amount under the terms of the
pending bill is also questioned. The
1925 4 per cents now net the purchaser
over per cent and the administration
therefore does not believe short term 8
per cent bonds can be sold at par.

and the sailors were not lusty enough
to wheel them on board. Had they been
anything bat trained elephants, they
would have had to swim to the Cream
City or else 90 by land. The Captain
of the steamer was inclined to believe
that he had contracted for an i'm possible
undertaking. as the animals were not
sufficiently skilful to climb a rope ladder
to the upper deck. He was sorely disap-
pointed, as his ambition had always
been to haul menagerie out On the bill
lows, andsthen he could use them to trim
the vessel. But the trainer was not SO
easily discouraged. He knew his beasts
better than the Captain did, and was,
therefore, equal to the situation. He
ordered the smallest of the troop to lie
down on tho gangplank, and the sanimal
complied without.a swhimper. The ele-
plant was then asked to roll on board,
which command was also obeyed prompt
~. The monster brute made but two
revolutions. and found himself bound for
Milwaukee,.
In telling of the novel occurrence, one
Of the dockmen said:
We got them on board safely by rolling
them down the ganQplank, but 1t was

keeper ordered them to lie down amid

When the boat got well under way and
felt the swell of the water as the east
winds blew, the elephants proved them
selves good sailors, and trumpeted their
delight. They looked out at the broad
waste of sea and sky and watched the
distant sails with as much interest as
the two-legged passengers above them
did.
Tho smallest one. however, when the
city had long been left behind, felt some
what uneasy. He rubbed his poDderous
stomach with his trunk, and delivered
shrill trumpeting sound, which drowned
out the sound of the big whistle. The
Captain tried to make dioker for the
animal, as he said that his vocal strength
