ACTION ON WILSON'S RESOLUTION Debate "Was Brilliant, nml "Was Par ticipated in, by the Hcav)- Men of the Various Parties. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Although it was known that an attempt would be made in the house today to pass the res olution authorizing the issue of G per cent gold bonds, the attendance on the floor was not large when the speaker called the house to order, at 11 o'clock. This was probably due to the fact that many members supposed the house woull meet at noon, as usual. Despite the small attendance, however, there was much ex citement on the floor. As soon as the journal had been read, Catcnings, from the rules committee, reported the special order under which the- house was to oper ate. It was as follows: "Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this rule, the house shall pro ceed, lis in committee of the whole, in consideration of house resolution No. 255 (the bond resolution), and at the hour of 5 o'clock this day the previous question shall be considered as ordered on said resolution, and then, without intervening motion, votes shall be taken thereon until the same shall have been finally dis posed of." Catchlngs promptly demanded the pre vious question as soon as the reading of the resolution had been completed. On a rising vote, the previous question was ordered-50 to 1L PIckler made the point of no quorum, but withdrew It, and before time for debate could be claimed under the rule, the vote recurred on the adop tion of the order. It resulted 56 to. 17. Simpson again made the point of r.o quorum. Simpson and Catchlngs, as tell ers, took their places, and for over half an hour they waited patiently for the belated arrivals to make up the coveted quorum. With the arrival of members came a stream of visitors in the galleries, and at 11.52, when Catchings reported a quorum, the hall of representatives pre sented an animated appearance. The vote had resulted 152 to 28 in favor of the special order. Simpson, who remarked sarcastically, sotto voce, that he was trying to protect the president against the vindictive assaults of republicans, recreant democrats and cuckoos, made no attempt to get the ayes and noes, and the special order was declared adopted. Before the debate began the speaker announced that he would recognize two members of the committee on ways and means, "Wilson and Reed, in the affirma tive, and Hopkins and Bryan to the nega- ttgetec!ItTOlgavuaursfr unouea lor aeoate, tne remaining hour to be given to debate under the five-min ute rule. Wilson, chairman of the ways and means committee, who opened the de bate, cautioned the house at the very outset that unless the debate could be re stricted to the resolution from the ways and means to the exclusion of all parti sanship, it would be impossible to vote Intelligently on the question at its con clusion. He then proceeded to carefully state the case, covering the ground trav ersed by his report to the house yester day. He said there was no dearth of revenues in the treasury. Today he dis covered there was an available cash bal ance in the treasury of $165,000,000, a larger balance than on June CO, 1S92, by SS6.000.000. when it was $129,000,000, including the gold reserve. Today the gold reserve stood at 542,213,000. He reviewed the his tory of the gold reserve, established to insure the resumption of specie paymenls, and said: "The reserve was not threatened until the ranlc in 1S93. when in a single month (November) $24,000,000 of gold had been withdrawn. In the course of the panic of 1SS3 the $53,000,000 of bank trust funds had been passed to the available assets of the treasury. Since then bonds have been sold three times to replenish the gold in the treasury, twice within six months. The previous operation of the treasury resulted in the United States exchanging its own bonds for its own gold, and now Secretary Carlisle has done what Secretary Sherman did time and again when he was refunding the public debt he has purchased gold in other markets than our own." Wiison contrasted the situation of the treasury in 1SS2 with its situation now in regard to the burden to be borne by the gold reserve, saying: "Then no greenbacks were being pre sented for redemption, and the reserve was only necessary for practical pur poses to support the outstanding silver, amounting to $200,000,000. Today it sup ports the entire currency fabric $300. 00"000 of outstanding legal tenders and treasury notes; $500,000,000 of over-valued silver, and all the national bank notes outstanding." "You admit," interrupted Dingley. "that $111,000,000 of gold have been purchased to maintain the gold reserve. How did the treasury obtain the money to meet the deficiency in the reserve of $109,000,000?" Wilson replied that, as he had stated on a former occasion, it was partly true, by the operation of the "endless chain" process by which gold was drained from the treasury, some of the money obtained from the sale of bonds nad been trans ferred to other accounts and had been used to defray current expenses. He called Dingley's attention to the fact that under the national act of 1S71. the bank notes being redeemable by the treasury they ooukl be used by conversion to drain the treasury of gold as well as the legal tenders. Dingley, however, persisted upon, a more specific answer to his original question end Wilson finally admitted that a large amount of the gold received from the sale of bonds had been used to meet deficiency In the revenues. Then Dingley, recurring to Wilson's former statement about the transfer of the bank trust funds to the available assets of the treasury, declared that net $1 of that fund had been used to defray current expenses. "The difference between your methods Eighcst of all in Leavening Power. ABSQlJUTEISf PURS and ours," replied Wilsonjjamid a burst of democratic applause, "IsTujat when we needed money we bonoweJUtijjt Wben you needed It, you borrowed Ttjfrom a trust fund. Dingley insisted that thygund was not used until 1S93, whercuponlSYllson cited him Secretary Windom'sT-gport stating that September 1, 1S90, thefavailable cash in the treasury was the amount of the trust fund turned over toth'at account In the preceding July. TK& ended the questioning between the leaders and Wil son continued his argumentlwhere it had been broken off by Dlngleyjailnterruption. He said: aP "Secretary Carlisle in botrpwing this gold had only done whajir, Sherman had done. He had sold 4 peracent 30-year bonds at the rate of lOliSaffrlth the right to substitute at par 3 per entgold "bonds. If the government continiSpo maintain its traditional policy the 4Jpcrycent bonds would be virtually payabledjjgold because the government was bound'tojmaintain all its currency on a parity, jlSa the bonds will be paid in gold it is thflsense of the ways and means commltteeSthat there ought not to be any hesitatSQa.m making these bonds payable in goj!and taving to the government the interest charges amounting toover $16,000,OOJjJfcrhe contract is already made by which tbejjrold is being put into the treasury andplaged on ves sels for shipment to thfippoUntry. It cannot be set aside; It Is maflcunder am ple provision of law. Thejquestlon pre sented here is whether weXwill substitute for. a 4 per cent coin 30-yea3bon& a 3 pec cent gold bend."' Wilson asserted that forj25, years the gold standard had beenlfthe practical money basis in this countryjlthat gentle men confused the standardjpf payment with the currency of payment. Two ex periments had failed to giye relief, and now the treasury had beenfobliged to re sort, as it had under Secretary Sherman, to a special contract. jK McMillin asked if it wc-ulqfhot be pos sible to raid the gold reservelfh the future as in the past, Wilson replled'that It has undoubtedly been possiblejslnce the first day of the resumption off specie pay ments, but said it would noVbe done if we can maintain confidenceTso that our currency will be as good asfgold. Hopkins said the resolution was whjsther the gov ernment at this late day snould, by the extraordinary methods of President Cleveland and his secrelaryjTof the treas ury, change its cstablishedSjjtirrenoy un der 35 years of republican JQufe and make its bonds payable in gold. "iHe added: "Why did not the president-call the at tention of these foreign capitalists to the fact that his country had ajspltled policy? If the statement of the gentleman from West Virginia had been true that coin was really as good as gold, and meant the same thing, why had notpjhe president told the capitalists so? Til oppose this resolution because it willin' my judg ment, destroy the credit of the United States. In the future it would, be neces sary to put the word gold into every bond. The bondholder Is directly interested in driving this country to a silver basis and sending gold to a premium. -The Roths childs by this means couMdouhle the value ,o.ithelr holdings' Sgoretary&Iiol- 4 per cent bonds J per cent bonds at 3 per-ceafin. the open sunlight before the, American people. Even the loans of this administration have been before made in open market with the American people In the light of day; they have been made for 10 years at less than 3 per cent. Now the adminis tration has made a contract with a for eign syndicate by which the government will receive $S0,500 less than similar bonds were selling for in the open market on the very day the president sent his con tract to congress with the bribe of $16,000, 000 to get its consent. A secret loan was negotiated for higher rates than any civilized country was paying on its debt, higher even than bankrupt Egypt, little Norway, or any other country. The presi dent penned this message not from pa triotic purposes, but for politics, and that alone. He wanted to throw the responsi bility on congress of making this loan negotiated by his former law partner. I say for one. and I hope I speak for the entire republican side and the great mass of the democratic party, that I cannot be made particeps crimlnis to this attempt of the president to prostitute the finan cial standing of this great country." Cox of Virginia How does it happen that by this contract -this syndicate will have an option on future bond issues by the government? Hopkins Nobody but the syndicate and the president can answer that. Powers sent to the clerk's desk an amendment providing that nothing in the resolution should be construed as chang ing the avowed policy of the government to pay all its outstanding bonds in gold. Hopkins then yielded to Cannon. The latter sketched with biting sarcasm the attempts made to pass legislation for the relief of the treasury, saying the presi dent's last message was responsible for the Springer bill's "second birth." He de nounced the contract made by the secre tary of the treasury, and when he ex pressed the opinion that, had a republi can secretary made that contract, this democratic house would have impeached him, the republican side gave him round after round of applause. Grosvenor, a member of the ways and means committee, opposed the resolution. Addressing himself to the charge that those who were opposing the resolution were aiding to destroy the honor, credit and integrity of the government, he point ed out that, without consultation with congress, the secretary of the treasury had privately entered into a contract with the Rothschilds and the Morgans to pur chase with coin bonds of the government at a rate of interest almost 1 per cent higher than the last bond Issue, and now gave congress the option of substituting for these coin bonds gold bonds at 3 per cent. The only alternative offered congress was to go back on a long-established precedent of the government and authorize gold instead of coin bonds. Continuing, he said: "Not the honor, credit or integrity of j the government is involved. This is an cial policy. If gold bonds are issued at the demand of Lombard street, never will another coin bond be issued by the gov ernment. Then what is to become of the millions of coin bonds sold to our own people? Their value would depreciate. This is a resolution to depreciate them, and I will never vote for It." Daniels of New York, in a three-minute speech, argued in support of the resolu- (Goncluded on Second Page.) Latest U.S. Gov't Food Repctfc FOR THE THIRD TIME Failure of the Administration to Secure Financial Legislation. FIRST CAME THE CARLISLE BILL It "Was FolIoTveil ly Springer' Bill, and Xotv, Lite These Two, "Wil son's Resolution Is Defeated. WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. The third at tempt by the administration this session to secure legislation looking to the relief of the treasury failed in the house today. First the Carlisle bill for reform of the currency system went down, next the bill for the issue of $500,000,000 gold bonds and the retirement of the legal tenders, rec ommended in the president's special mes sage, was defeated last Thursday by a majority of 27, and today the house, by a majority of 47, refused to order a third reading of the resolution by which it was proposed to authorize the issue of $63,000, 000 of 3 per cent gold bonds to substitute for the 4 per cent 30-year bonds sold by Secretary Carlisle under contract with the Rothschild-Morgan syndicate. The action of the house today was the culmination of the exciting events which have occurred since the president sent his special message to congress, which re sulted in the report from the ways and means committee of the resolution to au thorize the issue of gold bonds. A special order was brought as soon as the house met today to bring the resolution to a vote at 5 o'clock. The debate upon the resolu tion, which lasted five hours, was Inter esting, and sometimes inflammable in character. The galleries were packed, and there was much confusion on the floor, but the interest centered in the course which the republicans would pur sue, it being conceded that the fate of the resolution rested with them. There was much maneuvering among the lead ers. The republicans west of the Alle ghenies, led by Hopkins and Cannon of Illinois, started off with impetuous speeches against a gold-bond issue that would discriminate against bonds already issued. Reed and his Eastern friends sought in private conference to rally all to unite in action. His plan was to allow the reso lution to go to a third reading and then move to recommit it, with instructions to report back a bill similar to that which he offered as a. substitute for the bond bill last week, providing for 3 per cent bonds. For a time it seemed possible that this arrangement would be agreed to, but after the stirring speech of Hepburn the Middle and Western republicans broke away, determined to defeat the third read ing of the resolution, lest by some chance It might carry if it passed this parlia mentary stage.

When the senate met today, the high tension of the finacial situation was clearly evident from the groups of senators who discussed the subject. A rumor soon gained circula tion that a suggestion had been made that a resolution be adopted directing and advising the executive branch of the gov ernment to cancel the contract with the bankers for the sale of $62,400,000 bonds. With the several financial bills on the calendar and on the table, it was felt that decisive action one way or the other was not far off. During the debate on the postoflice bill, the presiding officer intervened to present the response of Secretary Carlisle to the comprehensive resolution presented by Gorman, for information as to the condi tion of the treasury. Its elaborate detail of figures was followed with close atten tion by Gorman, Cockrell and Allison, al though it was too statistical to engage general attention. Before its reading ended, Gorman proposed it would be de sirable to have it in pamphlet form, ready for use tomorrow, and this was ordered. Carlisle's Rciily. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Secretary Carlisle, in his reply to the resolution introduced by Gorman, says the original reserve augmented by the gold proceeds of the sale of bonds was diminished dur ing 25 months to the extent of $172,674,315, of which $103,002,143 was directly or indi rectly devoted to current expenses, and $67,672,172 of which had been converted into notes in the process of redemption was still on hand. "It is proper to state in this connec tion," says the secretary, "that when United States treasury notes of 1S00 were redeemed in gold they were received into and held as part of the general cash as sets in the treasury, same as any other money belonging to the government, and under the acts of May 31, 1S78, and July 1!, 1MM), they were paid out when necessary to defray public expenses. Whenever it is possible to do so, redeemed notes have been used to procure gold coin by exchange with banks and other financial institu tions, and in this way a large amount of gold was restored to the gold-reserve fund during the summer of 1S93, and some since that time. X -e A POPULIST ADDRESS The Members of Senate and House to the People of the Country. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The populist members of the senate and house, whose names arc attached, besides the others whose signatures are given, have issued the following address to the members of the people's party: "As early as 1S63-66 a conspiracy was en tered into between the gold gamblers of Europe and America to accomplish the following purposes: "To fasten upon the people of the United States the burdens of a perpetual debt; to destroy the greenbacks which brought us safely through the perils of the war; to strike down silver as a money metal, and to deny to the people the use of federal paper, the two independent sources of I money supply guaranteed by the constitu tion; to fasten upon the country the single gold standard of Great Britain and to delegate to the thousands of banking corporations, organized for private gain, the sovereign control for all time over the issue and volume of all supplemental paper currency. Thus they doubled the demands for gold, forced upon the coun try an appreciating money standard, en tailing an Indefinite period of falling prices; robbed enterprise of Its just prof Its; condemned labor to Idleness and confiscated the property of debtors. "For nearly 30 years these conspirators have kept the masses quarreling over the most important matters, while they have j pursued, with, uurelenun zeal, their own purpose. At the present moment every device of treachery; every resource of statecraft, and every artifice known to the secret cabals of the International gold ring are being made use of to deal a final death blow to the prosperity of the country- They seek to accomplish their purpose before the blow can be averted through the ballot. Their plans have long matured, and their line Is fully chosen. They address themselves to the one sub jectthe money question in all of its breadth and magnitude. This brings the country face to face with a perilous issue which calls for immediate and united ac tion on the part of the people. Every behest of patriotism requires that we shall at once meet the issue and accept the challenge so defiantly offered. To falter now is to invite disastrous failure "We earnestly urge the populists throughout the country to concentrate their entire force and energy upon the tremendous contention presented, and thus meet the enemy upon his chosen line of battle. Invite the aid and co-operation of all persons who favor the, im mediate free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 .to 1; the issue of all paper money by the general government without the intervention of banks of issue, and who are opposed to the issue of interest-bearing government bonds In time of peace. In a word, to extend the hand of fellow ship to all who agree with you upon the money question, which is certainly the mightiest and most fundamental contro versy evolyed during the present cen tury." The signers to the address are: Lafe Pence, O. M. Kem, T. G. Hudson, Wluiam Baker. William A. McKeighan, William V. Allen. John Davis, W. A. Harris, Jerry Simpson. J. C. Bell. J. . Kyle, H. E.

The time for the president to formally ratify the con tingent agreement with the Morgan-Bel-mdnt syndicate to purchase $65,000,000 in gold- by selling $62,000,000 in 4 per cent 30 year bonds on the 3 per cent interest basis, does not expire until February 10. The opinion is, however, expressed to night in financial circles that the presi dent will regard the action of the house today as indicative of its purpose not to pass any gold-bond measure, and thit he will at once order 4 per cent coin bonds printed and delivered to the syndicate.

CITY OF MEXICO, via Laredo, Feb. 14. Minister Isaac P. Gray died at 7:05 P. 31. this evening, without legaining consciousness. (Isaac Pusey Gray was born in Chester county, Penn., October 28, 1S28. A few years after his birth his parents removed to Ohio, and from 1836 to 1855 he lived at New Madison, Ohio. There he was for some time a clerk in a dry goods store, in which he, in course of time, became a partner and finally sole proprietor. In 1ST.5 Mr. Gray removed to Union City, Ind., where he opened a store and carried on business for three years. He then began the practice of law. When the war broka out he entered the federal service and was made colonel of the Fourth Indiana cavalry. He saw no active service and was compelled to resign on account of bad health. When he recovered his health he engaged in recruiting a regiment of infantry and served until the close of the war. Mr. Gray was an unsuccessful can didate for the republican nomination for congress in 1861. In 1866 he was elected to the state senate. In 1S72 he joined the democratic party, after finding he could not secure the republican nomination for congress. In 1876 he was elected lieutenant-governor of Indiana on the ticket with James D. Williams, and when the latter (best known as "Blue Jeans" Will iams) died three months before the ex piration of his term, Mr. Gray became governor. In 1880 he was again a candi date for lieutenant-governor, but was de feated. In 18S4 Mr. Gray was the demo cratic candidate for governor of Indiana. Mr. Cleveland carried the state for presi dent and Mr. Gray was elected governor. Mr. Gray was urged by the Indiana dele gation at the Chicago convention in 1892 for presidential candidate, but gave way to Mr. Cleveland in the expectation of being made candidate for vice-president, in which he was disappointed.)

The Ixjgans port fire department horses, becoming old, were sold this week to John Crimons, a Blue Grass township farmer. Crimons arrived home with the horses just as the big farm bell in the yard sounded the din ner hour. The horses thinking the bell was a. fire alarm, ran three miles down the turnpike, wrecking a number of buggies on the way with their big farm wagon. Finding no fire, the horses finally turned About and return;d home. LORD THE END AND II The Plot of the Republican Cau cus Bolters' Laid Bare. LORD SENATOR, KINCAID GOVERNOR This the Bolters Have Been Plotting to Brlufc Ahout With the Assist ance of Dissatisfied Populists. For the twentieth time, and on as many; different days, Oregon's legislature yes terday in joint assembly voted for United States senator, and for the twentieth time the vote was practically the same. The opening ballot and those taken last week and this resulted: Dolph 144 Williams 1 Hare 110 Lowell Lord Weatherford Absent SALEM, Feb. 11. Ycung Lowell is here today from Pendleton, and Is taking in the legislature In a gecd-natured way. He is a bright young man, and knows that he is not seriously in the senatorial race. The effort of some people to make his friends think he is in the race rather puz zles him. His presence here has served one useful purpose, however, for it has been incidentally the means of bringing out the true situation of the senatorial fight. Almost at the beginning of the senatorial contest The Oregonian pointed out that disaffection on the part of some republi cans with the caucus action was being used in the Interests directly of Governor Lord and Secretary of State Kincaid, that the one might be made senator and the other come Into the governorship. The Oregonian's publication of the facts con cerning the matter scattered such alarm into the camp of the abettors of this plot that they subsided, and on the sur face the campaign was apparently aban doned. The anti-Dolph republicans have varied their votes among different candidates, with no apparent method. It has been known that Fulton had a contingent among the SO votes who were holding on in hopes that perhaps he might eventual ly be chosen. Such a following also had Tongue, Hermann, Lcwell and others. These little coteries of friends of different mep, some not naming their choice Jn" bal lotmg,were,constantl belngjencouraged' by th"e? promoters? ofcfoh'eajGcusjlbcdfoln the idea that something would "soonMe velop whereby Hermann could be elected. Other means failing, the populist combi nation has been resorted to as a method of bolstering up the fading hopes of thesa various sets of bolters. Fulton himself knows that he Is not seriously a candi date, yet his friends are being urged to stand out agiir.st Dolph because Fulton may yet be elected by populist votes. Lowell knows that he is not seriously, a. candidate, yet bis friends are beguiled into standing out for hhn with promises that some way will be found to elect him. Now, the method in all this apparent madness is that through this deception these men are kept in this state merely tentatlvely, so that when populist votes enough ara secured, Lcrd may be sprung and elected. Lord is the end and aim of all this apparently crazy temporizing. The reason he Is not given more support in the) daily ballot Is because the opposition can be kept out more effectively by encour aging them In the belief that their partic ular choices can prevail.
