Washington, Dec. 14.-In the senate
today Mr.. Morgan Dem.), Alabama,
offered the following resolution. upon
which he gave notice he would adj
dress the senate:
Resolved; etc, that the president is
requested, if it is not, in his opinion, in
compatible with the public service, To
send 10 the senate copies of the papers
relating to the condition of affairs in
the island of Cuba. which were re-
ferred to in the report of the secretary
of state that accompanies his last an
nual message; and also statement of
the several amounts of the claims
lodged in the department of state by
citizens of the United States against
Spain, growing out of the alleged in
surrectiOn now existing in the island of
Cuba.
And. also. all correspondence with
the Spanish government relating to the
Competitor case. and the persons cap
tured with or on that vessel. with
statement of the charges pending in
any court in Spain or Cuba against
such persons, ana the proceedings OF
such court in these cases. and the place
of their imprisonment. the character of
their treatment while in prison and
the condition of their health; whether
such prisoners have had the privilege
of counsel of their own selection in
any trial that has taken place on such
charges or were represented by any
counsel, attorney or other agent of the
United States"

that he has certainly had an offer of

ready to announce his decision, but it
viii be made public very soon. and will
undoubtedly be accepted. IN anticipa-

The legislature viii meet Jan. 10 in
special session called for other pur-
poses, and will then elect Allison s
successor if he goes into the cabinet.
Cummins, Dolliver and Perkins will
lead in the fight. which will certainly
be long and bitter one. Dolliver and
Cousins are considered serious posi-
bilities because they are very popular.
and in case of a deadlock either might
break it. The present indication is that
Perkins or Cummins will be chosen.

'Sir-Replying to your favor of the
oath of November. written in behalf
of the Boston banks, asking for the is
sue of cold certificates under the au-
thority granted in section II Of the act
of July u. 1892. l am not yet prepared
to give the necessary order
After the reserve has once fallen
below $780, 000,0 900 and the issue of such
certificates has been stopped, it is not
certain that the secretary of the treas
ury. especially in view Of existing con-
ditions. would be justified in resuminS
their reissue. 1t has been the expert
ence of the department in the past that
the normal increase of the gold re-
serve caused by the exchange of paper

issue of gold certificates. and, in fact.
upon various occasions, considerable
amounts of gold have been Withdrawn
by the presentation of notes for re-

over, the house of representatives of
the Fifty-third congress, at its third
session. passed a bill disseminating
their issue entirely. and it is the in.en-
ton of the department to present the
subject again at a very early date.
AS the amount of gold reserve is large
ly determined from time to time by
the available amount of paper in cir
culation. il seems inadvisable. at this
time. especially, to increase the vol
ume of that currency by the issue of
gold certificates.
