this Picker replied that he did not know
what the President would do; but he did
know that the House should do its duty
regardless of the attitude or action OF the
President. Applause.
Apropos to this colloquy, the venerable
ex-Speaker Grow (R.) OF Pennsylvania,
addressed the House briefly upon the ne
cessity OF resenting the encroachment
upon It's prerogatives by the executive.
He said under long established par
Aamentary law it has always been re-
garded as an invasion of the prerogatives
OF Parliament for any one to refer in his
discussion to the opinion of the king on
any question pending before it.
A member-Is Mr.. Cleveland the king

kind he occupies the same relation to the
houses of Congress that the sovereign in
Great Britain does TO Parliament. The
President exercises the veto power.
"In the last Congress we had before US
on one occasion bill headed The bill of
the Secretary of the Treasury What has
that officer to do with presenting q bill in
this House? We have had here attempts
by the Secretaries of the different depart
ments to influence legislation. They have
sent in here letters to be read with refer
ence TO pending measures. And, in one
case, q letter was read here from the Presi-
dent OF the United States having reference
to a measure then pending in the House
and just about to be voted upon. I trust
such practices will be discontinued
This House owes it to itself to make
the President understand that he has
nothing to do with the action of this legis-

presented to him for his approval. TAp-

the right to express his approval or dis
approval. Nor has any one of the heads

officer may report to this House on i'm
portant questions affecting the revenues
but when he sends here bill headed, The

CHEERING CIRCULAR ISSUED.
The Leader Admits That the Loan Will

NEW YORK, \. Y, Jan. 15.-The mem
bers OF the Government bond syndicate re-
ceived this morning circular letter from
J. 2. Morgan releasing them from their
commitments to furnish their pro-rata
share of 500, 0,000,0 900 in gold to the Govern
ment, and a second S1O0,OOO,OO0 if desira-
BILE, taking their pay therefor in per cent
bonds. The circular sets forth that this
action seems desirable in view of the terms
of the treasury circular offering the bonds
to the public.
"The amount of bonds offered by the
Secretary of the Treasury made syndi-
cate contract, owing to the minimum
therein fixed, available only to bid for
all or none," says Morgans circular. II
should De unwilling to make such bid
under present circumstances, as l might
thus seem to present for consideration by
the Secretary of the Treasury the throw

would be the failure of the public to re-
spond 10 the call OF the Government.

have encouraged to subscribe, from pres

time for announcing the dissolution of the

that effect is accordingly issued. I feel
perfectly satisfied that there is no question
as to the success OF the loan IN spite of the

BOWERS SCORES SUTRO,
Declares the Mayor Is Aiding
the Funding Bill by His
Course.
Senators and representatives Take
OfenSe at Insinuations of
Bribery.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-Copies
OF the San Francisco Evening Report, con-
tanning an editorial article attacking Rep
resentative Bowers for his recent statement
concerning the Pacific roads, have been
received by many members of Congress-
1t seems that Mr.. Bowers, in a recent issue
OF San Francisco paper, expressed the
hope that the opposition to Huntington's s
funding bill would send representative
business men here and not ward politi-
clans or political adventurers.
The Report criticised him for this and
declared that Bowers was "a slippery
Congressman" whose actions would bear
watching when the funding bill came up.
Mr.. Bowers, in an interview to-day, re-
taliated by saying:
please wire that Mr.. Bowers is con-
graduated by many members of Congress,
who declare he has taken the correct posi-
ton. The red-letter skull-and-crossbo bones
literature that the Sutro syndicate is bonn
harding US with is offensive to members of
Congress, who resent and repel the insinu-
alton OF attempts to bribc individual
members and committees of Congress.
These sandlotters don't represent the
people. What do Congressmen care what
Huntington did thirty years ago?
What does anybody care? The only
effect of this kind OF campaigning is TO help
funding-bill promoters. Senators have
also told me land among them Senator
White) that such methods are not effective
here"
Senator White said: "There is some
danger that the circular business may be
overdone. In justice to Mr.. Bowers it may
be said that no one of his colleagues
believes that he is not as strongly opposed
to the funding bill as any member of Con-
gress."
Judge Barham said tonight: 81 have
talked with Bowers and know that he is
strongly opposed TO the funding bill. -
Representative McLachlan zorro borated

EXODUS OF THEsPIANs.
American Actors and actresses to Leare
for australia.

FOR AaSfrGHd.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 15.-There will
be an exodus Of American actors and act
resses TO Australia during the coming
spring. George Musgroye OF the firm of
Williamson & Musgrove, the most promi-
nent theatrical managers in Australia, has
been in this city for several weeks looking
for attractions for his playhouses. He
said yesterday that he had already closed
contracts for sending four companies
across the Pacific, and that he hoped to
secure several more.
"Trilby" will be the first to go. The
company, including several of the prin-
cipals in a. If. Palmer's original company,
will sail from San Francisco On March 5,
and will open at the Princess Theater in
Melbourne. Mrs. Potter and Mr.. Beliew
will follow on April 80, and viii open at
the Lyceum in Sydney.
"a Trip to Chinatown" will be the first
of Charles H. Hoyt's comedies 10 visit
Australia. The company will sail on May
%, and win also open at the Ly-
ceum in Sydney. Probably the most
important of Mr.. Musgrove's engage
ments, however, is that of Nat c. Good
win, who is booked for twelve weeks
season in the island continent. He, with
his supporting company, will sail from
San Francisco on June 25. He Will also
open at the Lyceum in Sydney.
This is really opening up a new field
for American managers and stars, 4" said
Mr.. Mussrove. Your season here closes
in May or June, while ours in Australia is
just then opening. The trip will be pleas
ant one, and l have no doubt that if Mr..
Goodwin and the others we take over this
summer prove successful-and for my part
l am sure they will-many more will be
eager to follow their example next year."

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
Allison Presidential boom was formally
launched to-day, when nearly every men,
Der OF the Iowa delegation now in Wash
ington met to organize. 1t is understood
that this meeting was neld with the full

son.
General David B. Henderson, Represent
atiye in Congress, Senator Gear and Repre-
sentative Hepburn were appointed COM
nittee to take charge of Allison's inter
ests in Washington, and they will CO.
operate with the Iowa Republican CONF nit
tee, which is now working up the Allison
boom. General Henderson said to CALL
correspondent tonight:
'Our delegation is unanimous for ALI
son. Our State committee is a unit for
him, and the people of Iowa are for him.
He is our favorite son. Not only that, but
you will find he will be the favorite OF the
majority OF the delegates in the conven-
ton"
Senator Perkins said TO a CALL CORE
spondent tonight: "Allison is my favor
ite for President. He is safe man,
broad-gauged, big-brained, big-hearted,
conservative yet courageous. He will
make magnificent candidate"
a CALL correspondent was at the head
quarters of Chairman Harrity of the
National Democratic Committee at the
Arlington Hotel, and among those present
were j. K. Richardson, Iowa's National
Democratic Committeeman. Harrity re-
marked to him: Il hear a good deal OF
talk OF favorable nature about Allison.
He seems to be in the lead for the nomina-
tion.''
YES" replied Richardson, "and I be-
Iieve he will be the Republican nominee. +"
Both men agreed that Allison would
make the strongest candidate that Repub-
icans could nominate.

ALLISON NOMINATED.
Iotcd Republicans Insure His Re- EIec-

DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 15.-The Joint
caucus OF Republicans of the House and
Senate was the only interesting event in
the Legislature to-day. 1t was to nomi-
nate candidate for United States Senator.
and William B. Allison, senior Senator,
was nominated by acclamation to succeed
himself.
There was great enthusiasm and the
House was packed. Senator Allison was
in the city and was escorted to the hall bv
a committee. He was given an ovation
and introduced TO the caucus as the next
President of the United States. He had
been named in the same way by each of
the speakers who had made or seconded
his nomination.
In accepting Mr.. Allison expressed his
thanks for this, his fifth nomination to the
Senate, and spoke of the important duties
that, especially in the present crisis of Ma
tional affairs, are incident TO the Office.
He declared in ringing terms that the Ma
tional honor and the National credit must

CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Tuesday,
Jan. 1.-THE Porte gives out the state
ment that the United States Government
has informed Mavroyeni Bey, Turkish
Minister at Washington, that no United
States war vessels have been ordered to
Eastern waters.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
United Press cable from Constantinople
stating that the Turkish Minister there
had been informed by the United States
Government that no additional warships
had been ordered to Turkish waters was
probably based on a communication made
to Mavroyeni Bey by Secretary Olney on
Thursday last, when the Turkish represen-
tative visited the State Department. Mr..
Olney this afternoon declined to say any-
thing on the subject.
The announcement of the Porte is prac.
tically OF little interest, excepting in SO faI
as it officially confirms the feeling in naval
circles that no orders have peen issued To
Rear-Admiral Bunee to send any of the
vessels now under his command to Hamp-
ton Roads. notwithstanding this it is
understood to be true that the project of
sending portion, at least, of Admiral
Bunce's fleet to the Levant has been con.
sidered by the President and his advisers
That no formal action has been taken as
the result of this consideration does not
necessarily mean that the project has
been abandoned, for the fleet is still held in
home waters, although nearly month has
passed since the date set for its departure
for cruise in the West Indies.

He said tonight:
'It is claimed by the best naval author
tiles that of all problems about steam
ship the only one at the present time
incapable of being solved by a priori
methods in extreme cases are those of speed
and power. No ability and no training
will enable even the most skiIlful naval
architect to overcome the want OF an ex-
perimental tank. At present such tanks
have been established by the Governments
of England, Italy and Rdssia, and have
proven highly successful"

NORTHERN PACIFIC CASE.
Question of Judicial Jsrisdiction Argue,
at Washington.

at Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15-Ex-
Senator Spooner this morning resumed his
argument before Justices Field, Harlan,
Brewer and Brown on the Northern Pa
cific question that some Judge be recog-
nized as having primary jurisdiction
in the appointment OF receivers. etc..
thus doing away with the conflict of
authority between the courts. Spooner's
argument mainly shows the original
jurisdiction OF Judge jenkins, before
whom the first proceedings in the present
litigation were brought.
Ex-senator Spooner followed G. w.
Petit in behalf OF the Northern Pacific
corporation. Petit argued in favor OF
the District Court OF Washington as the
primary jurisdiction. Choate, represent
ing the bondholders, closed the argu-
ment, and contended that the rail
road company was, in honor and law,
stopped from denying the right TO Judge
jenkins to exercise the power of primary
jurisdiction after having acquiesced in il
nearly two years.
Counsel We're required to prepare in the
course OF the day the form OF order that

ises and file it with the other papers in the
