HALF A BILLION BONDS PROPOSED
Sibley of Pennsylvania Scores Cleveland
for Tiampllne on the Prerogatives
, of the People.
Washington, Jan. 8. The first busi
ness In the house today was a revolution
from the committee on rules anthorizing
the appropriations committee to insert a
clause in the sundry civil appropriation
bill.
Debate on the currency bill being re
Burned, Beiizhooven, democrat,' of Penn
sylvania, gav.- notice of an amendment,
It proposes a sf-clion to enable the secre
retary of the treasury to fund treasury
notes which may be in circulation after
the first of August,. 1895, which were
issued under acts of February 25, 1865;
July 11, 1862; March 3, 1863, and July
14, 1890, by issuing bonds to an amount
not to exceed $500,000,000, redeemable
at the pleasure of the United States aft"r
five years, payable in twenty-five ycNu
from date of issue, with interest at 3 per
cent, payable semi-annually in gold
The bonds are to be of such denomina
tions, not less than $20, as the secretary
may determine, and to be sold at not
less than par for gold or for treasury
notes.
The members flocked around Sibley,
democrat, of Pennsylvania, when he be
gan a characteristic address against the
bill. He was applauded when he said :
If ever a rebuke was needed for one
who has attempted to trample down the
prerogatives of the people, it is needed
. for him who has attempted to usurp this
entire government to himself. The time
has come when there should be some'
thing more than brace, belly and braBS
to this government."
Those Tariff Complications.
... Washington, Jan. 7. What action
.congress will take to .end the growing
tariff complications between this gov
ernment and European powers, or
whether any measures will be adopted
for that purpose, are questions clouded
in uncertainty. Considering the im
portance of the tariff war to commercial
interests, the attention given it by con
gress is noticeably slight.
Chairman Wilson recently introduced
a bill in accordance with the' recom
mendation in the president's message to
repeal the one-tenth of a cent differen
tial on sugar which evoked protests from
Germany and Austria, and which it is
stated inspired retaliatory action by the
former government in the form of pro
hibition' of importation of American
beef. But it is not altogether certain
that the ways and means committee
will report this bill to the house. Mr.
Wilson was asked about the prospects of
the bill, but did not speak enthusiastic
ally of- them. He said the remaining
time of this congress was very short and
there would be a great pressure on the
the committee for allotments of time for
various bills.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois Baid if the way
and means committee would propose to
re-enact the reciprocity system which
congress had obliterated with marked
discourtesy to foreign governments par
ties thereto, as well as to the detriment
of American business, he said sarcastic
ally, that the republicans would co-operate
with them heartily.
. Starving Men Demanded Food.
St. John's, N. F., Jan. 7. This morn
ing a crowd of 5,000 workingmen who
. were thrown out of employment by the
. financial collapse, gathered before legis
lative chambers. Later they paraded
the principal streets, carrying white
flags, bearing the words: "Work or
bread.', After booting the government,
the procession went to the dry docks
where is the berth of the British war
ship Tourmaleine, which, was sent here
. to help preserve order. A committee
boarded the ship and represented to the
captain that , they and their families
were starving. They insisted that the
government should feed them. . They
threatened to take the necessaries of
. life from the stores. The captain in
timated that such attempts would be re
pressed with a strong hand. The dele
gation finally withdrew. Starvation is
becoming more ' general daily. Lady
. O'Brien's committee started two soup
kitchens today.
, Hta Young Wife to Be Educated.
Louisville, Ky. Jan. 7. Cassius
MarceTlus Clay, the "Old Lion of White
hall," is carrying out his plan of educat
ing his young wife to fit her for her new
station in life. A few days ago he en
gaged a governess. Miss Josie Martin, of
Munfordville, who has gone to White
hall to give Mrs. Clay lessons in deport
ment, music and the ordinary branches
of learning. Mrs. Clay is only 15 years
old, and has little more than the rudi
kan tYia vnrii.
ments of an education. She has had ab
solutely no experience in society, and is
as ignorant of the graces of dress and de
portment as of mathematics or the
sciences. Miss Martin is expected to
make a finished lady of ber.
Sugar Planters Lone.
Washington. Jan. 8. The district
court of appeals today affirmed the de
cision of the district supreme court re
garding the Grant Miles Sugar Manu
facturing and Planting Company of
Louisiana. A mandamus was asked
compelling Secretary Carlisle and In-
ternal Revenue Commissioner Miller to
proceed under the law awarding sugar
bounties, notwithstanding its repeal by
the new tariff law. The case was brought
as a test suit. An appeal to the United
States supreme court is yet open to the Pennsylvania, opened the session's de
planters, the case having gone against bate with an attack upon the president,
them in all inferior tribunals.
Governor Millard Gaining
Los. angeles, Cal., Jan. 8. Judge
Clarke, of the superior court, was seen
at 1 :30 this afternoon and asked regard
ins the administering of the oath to
Lieutenant-Governor Millard, replied:
I administered the oath yesterday af
ternoon, but I do not think it amounts
to anything. It was simply done as a
precautionary measure, and carries no
weight whatever with it. I am given to
understand that a committee of the sen
ate are coming to the city, at which
time the oath will be administered in
their presence, which would make it
legal. Governor Millard is still on the
gain."

The. Nicaragua Bill Is Being Talked to
Death and There Is No Hope of
It Passing:.
I .- Sibley Creates Excitement.
- Washington, Jan. 8. General debate
on the currency and banking bill, ac
cording to the common understanding,
was concluded with the adjournment of
the house this afternoon, and the last
day wa3 marked with a most eensational
speech. Mr. Siblev, a democrat of
which exceeded in character of its des'
cription of the chief executive anything
that has been heard on the floor.
The first business was a resolution
from the committee on rules authorizing
the appropriations committee to insert
a clause in the sundry civil appropria
tion bill authorizing the transfer of the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., from the jurisdiction of the war
department to the department of justice.
Opposition was made by Broderick, rep.,
of Kansas, who asserted the question
had been before the military committee,
and contended the house was entitled to
report on the proposed change, for which
he saw no reason. . The plan was ex
plained by Curtis, rep., of New York,
who contended soldiers sent to the prison
for minor offenses were subjected to evil
associations. The resolution, after some
debate, was adopted 156 to 125. De
bate on the currency bill being resumed-
Beltzhoover, dem., of Pennsylvania
gave notice of an amendment. It pro

the treasury to fund the treasury notes

August 1, 189o, which were issued, under
the act of February 25, 1869; July 11

at the pleasure of the United States after
five years, and payable 25 years from
date with interest at 3 per cent, payable
semi-annually in gold. The bonds are
to be of such denominations of not less
than $50, as the secretary may determine,
and to be sold at not less than par for
gold or for treasury notes.
The members flocked around Sibley,
dem., of Pennsylvania, when he began
a characteristic address against the bill
He was applauded. He said : "If ever
a rebuke was needed for one who has at
tempted to trample down the preroga
tives of the people, it is needed for him
who has attempted to usurp this entire
government to himself. The, time has
come when there should be something
more than brains, belly and brass, to
this government." He referred to
George III, and said it tad been given
out that any one who voted against the
bill would incur the displeasure of the
kings. Four days after the repeal of the
Sherman act members had told him they
had been promised revenue collector
ships if they would vote for repeal.
"The gentleman ' makes a very broad
assertion," said Coombs, dem., of New
York, and aaked Sibley to mention
names.
I went three days ago to a member
and asked him to allow me the privilege
of calling him up here," replied Sibley,
He said, 'Mr. Sibley, yon will place nie
in a bad position with my constituents,'
but" continued Sibley, "within 10 feet
of me sits a man who heard him make
the statement that he had been offered
federal offices for his vote."
But do you consider it fair," asked
Coombs, with a perceptible tremor in
his voice, "to make so grave a charge
against the administration and not give
the names and places in order to permit
a defense?"
Every man is the guardian of his own
conscience," declared Sibley, 'already
padlocks have been on my lips too long,
and I intend to throw them off."
When were the padlocks put on your
"Pf, interjected uutnwaite, dem., of
Ohio. There was great confusion and
excitement foil owing the question. .
I have not thrown them off before,"
continued Sibley, "because I hoped to
see the administration redeem its prom
ises, and I did not wish to nttera rebuke
when there was hope of an honest per
formance." Outhwaite had pushed forward and
again uttered the question : "Who put
padlocks on your lips?" ,-
Sibley hesitated a moment, and with
increased earnestness said:' "Let me
tell the gentleman, I am not talking to
day with men who believe in going to
hell in a handcar instead of heaven sup
ported by the truth. Let me tell him
also that I am not addressing men who
believe more" in a bob-tail flush than a
contrite heart.' -
A ehout of appiause and laughter
greeted this statement.
Sibley proceeded to relate the expe
rience of Dionysius, when he was again
interrupted by Outhwaite.
"Was- it Dionysius who put a padlock
on your lips?"
Sibley made no reply and proceeded
to address himself to the details of the
pending bill. "
Mr. Sibley was frequently interrupted
by hisses, and when he demurred from
answering be said his time would not be
extended, although "not a man who
spoke in favor of the gold tru3t ot the
world but was not given unlimited
time-" Pence of Colorado asked that
he be permitted to finish, but Outwaite
objected. Sibley continued:
"We saw your distinguished executive
after the election of 1892 hie himself
away for a recreation. Where on earth
did he go? To the classic shores of Hog
island: The Bible says that, when they
are set at liberty, each man will go to
his own 'place. Where did he go? To
Buzzard's bay. And ever since, the old
ship of state has been bumping her nose
into Hog -island and foundering in the
waters of Buzzard's bay, with prosperity
but a cable's length away."
There was a panic being precipitated
by the vultures of the banks, Mr. Sibley
shouted, beside which the last panic was
a gentle zephyr to a shrieking cyclone:
He bad figures, which he had prepared
last June, and which, at the solicitation
of friends, he had refrained from using,
showing the banks and trusts could not
pay 80 cents on the dollar. The admin
istration had so carried out the declara
tion that the parity of all kinds of mon
ey would be maintained, that all other
kinds but gold had become promissory
notes for payment of the gold. 'Speak
ing of his democratic principles, Mr Sib
ley said that if he got into what he sup
posed was a mahogany wagon and found
it was veneered basswood being driven
over a rocky road by an inexperienced
driver, he would jump out, and- would
not care much 'were he landed. He
drew 'a picturesque sketch of democrats
sitting around banquet halls tonight
worshipping at the shrine of Andrew
Jackson and talking theories as different
from his as the throne of hades is differ
ent from the fruit of the tree of life.
And if Andrew Jackson's spirit - were to
appear, it would, he concluded, kick
over the table &nd banish those apostles
in disgust.
The Canal Bill.
Washington, Jan. 8. There is going
to be some impatience in the senate on
the part of the champions of other bills
over the prolonged debate on the Nicara-1
gua canal bill. The advocates of the
bankruptcy bill are growing especially
solicitous. It is rumored today that
Senator George, who has the bankruptcy
bill in his keeping, would soon attempt
to have it taken up, even if in doing so
he would have to ask that the Nicaragua
bill be unplaced. Mr. George pro
nounced this rumor1 as without founda
tion, but admitted that be had been. dis
appointed that the debate on the canal
bill had continued for such a length of
time. He said it had been understood
when the order of consideration had
been agreed on, tbat debate on the canal
bill would not continue to exceed six
days. Senator Morgan said, at the close
of the session, that he did not think
there would be a " great .many more
speeches, and he believed two more
days would bring the debate to a close if
it could continue without interruption,
Mr. lieorge expects to encounter con
siderable opposition to the bankruptcy
bill. It is understood that the advo
cates of the Terry bill will oppose the
pending bill.' The fight will be in a gen
eral way between the advocates of vol
untary bankruptcy and those of in vol
untary bankruptcy.

simply because they quit the service of
some other employer, as a conspiracy,
which should not be tolerated by law.
The employer has no more right to be
protected by law against a conspiracy of
employes than the employes have to be
protected by law against a conspiracy on
the part of the employers."
