A Message on the Subject. .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2U. The presi
dent this afternoon sent another mes
sage to congress. The . message deals
with the condition of the treasury and
the general apprehension existing,
and says the only real and sensible
cure is a complete change in the fin
ancial scheme. Pending that, the
executive branch of government will
not relax its efforts nor abandon its
determination' to use every means with
in its reach to maintain before the'
world the American credit, nor 'will
there -be - any hesitation ' in' ex
pediting usconnaence intne es
of our country and the constant pa
triotism of our people. "In view, how
ever, of the peculiar situation now con
fronting us, I have ventured to herein
express the earliest hope that congress
in default of the inauguration of a bet
ter system of finance, will not take a
recess from (its lobors before it has by
legislative enactment or declaration
done something."'
Without A Boll-call. "
Washington, Dec. 20. The United
Statea senate by unanimous vote, and
without the formality of a roll-call to-'
day passed the bill already adopted by
the house of representatives empower
ing the president' to appoint a com
mission to determine the Venezuela
British Guiana boundary. This action
was the culmination of a debate adding
a memorable page to- congressional
history. (' It was a- day of notable
speeches by notable men. "The sub
ject of war between the United' States
and Great Britain was the . prevailing
theme, which found expression in lofty
and patriotic sentiments, in stirring
appeals for preparation aud defense,
in graphic portrayals of the, horrors of
war, and, at times in. defiant warnings
to the people across the water.
Washlncton. Vials Alarmed.
Washington, Dec. 20. The news of
the big slump in stock on both New
Yonk and London exchanges and that
gold withdrawals for export today
would approximate $4000.000 and possi
bly more, created a sensation among
treasury officials. What measures, if
any, will be taken at once by the gov
ernment to allay the panicky situation
is problematical, but there seems no
reasonable doubt that in case of the
continued large withdrawals of gold
even for another week, the president
will send a message to congress urging
the gravity of the situation as a reason
for immediate favorable action on the
recommendation already made that the
secretary of the treasury be authorized
to issue a lower rate of bonds to pre
serve the Integrity of the gold reserve.
The Situation In London. "
LONDON, Dec' 20. Soon after open
ing, there was a marked depression on
the stock exchange. The Evening
Standard referring to the depression
this afternoon says: "The declines
were in sympathy with a further heavy
fall in Americas which went down from
$10 to$2, St. Paul leading the way."
American' bonds were also freely
offered and unless these are taken up
the outlook for New York is gloomy.
There was extreme depression on the
Manchester and Glasgow stock ex
changes. Baron Rothschild, discuss
ing the situation, said to a representa
tive of the Associated Press: "From
a business point of view opinions can
not differ. All I want is peace." -
The Position !n Russia. ,
New York, Dec. 20. A dispatch to
the World from London says:
The silence of Russia is alone omi
nous. In, case of war between Eng
land and the United States it is not to
be doubted that Russia' would seize
the occasion for a longdelayed ad vance
to the Mediterranean and across the
established line separating her from
India. Whether England in that event
could rely upon any European power
is doubtful, certainly not upon France.
With Russia in arms against England,
not even her joint interest's In the
West Indies would prevail against her
traditional hatred of England, to say
nothing of her political alliance with
Russia.
' . A JOINT REPORT.
American and British Commissions Agree
on the Alaskan Boundary.
Montreal, Dec. 20. Willi am King,
British commissioner to Ottawa, has
returned from Washington .where he
has been for some time comparing
notes on the Alaskan boundary survey
with the United States commissioners,
after conferring, have stated they can
agree on a joint report. Hereafter the
governments of Canada and the United
States may appoint commissioners
or arbitrators to establish - the boun
dary line in question.
Assessment Rolls AU Ready.
SALEM, Or., Dee. 20. The equaliza
tion board has been in session since
December 3, and will continue until
January 2. The returns from 30 coun
ties are before it. The returns from
Umatilla, one of the tardy counties, are
now on the way. Lincoln's returns
are in. but the assessor says it is not
a true transcript and the board is wait
ing for an official correction.
Chicago Feel, the Depression.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20. The semi panic
in Wall street was reflected in the
grrin market. Wheat lost a cent and
a half fromlastnieht'sclosibff. ' There
was ft slight rally a few mlautes .before
the close, but final trading was 57 1-2
to 57 5-8, practically the lowest quota
tions of the day. .
SO 1SSCE OF BONDS.
The President Not Contemplating Such a
i Step., '
Washington, Dec. 23. It can be"
stated on authority that the 'rumor
that the president had decided' to 'an
nounce. another bond issue at onco is
without foundation. The only mem
beraof the cabinet' who saw the presi'
deat were Secretary Latno'pt, wbo.had
just returned to the city, and. called tq
pay hia respects, and O-ney. and Car
lisle. -The general Situation Was -disc.! Es-Presldent Harrison Refuses a Tosltlon
cussed informally,, but the question of
the immediate issue of bonds was not
considered.- Indeed it is stated, that
in view of the president's recent mes
sage to congress. Asking fof legislation
which might render another issue un
necessary, it would bq'.scant. courtesy
to that body td anticipate its negative
action,
The president has himself repeatedly
stated, however, that he would protect
the public credit at whatever cost
should the necessities of the situation
require heroic action, but at the pres
ent moment it is argued ,nO' such ne
cjssity has arisen. Moreover, it is
doubted -whether in view of ' the
present stata of the money market at
home and ab'rdad a large loan could be
noatea except ai a great sacrince to
the government. With money at 25
per cent, it is not seen how exporters
can afford to make any shipments of
gold, and for this reason the apprehen
sion of large withdrawals predicts be
fore the break in market occurred, is
no longer felt. 'There seems to be,
however, . no reasonable doubt that
should the heavy gold shipments be
resumed, and congress fail to pass any
remedial lierislation, the - president
would issue bonds to any amount that
the situation might-justify.
STEADILY IHPKOTING
Financial Situation Continues
Grow
Better. ' -
London, Dec. 23. The stock market
opened in good tone, -with speculation
very brisk. There was good buying,
In which .foreign houses iwer6 promi,-
nent, and nearly all active lists made
rapid advances. Some realizing sales
cp.'tsed retrograde movement, and
doslin.es were rcorded from i to 2 per
cent. ? The market, however, was fairly
steady; and there wern no '. indications
of panicky- condition "
The depression which came on the
market at 10:15 continued about half
an hour, the extreme decline being in
sugar, which fell 2i cents,',; At 10:45
prices were "again moving upward,
Pullman selling at 6 per cent, and
others at from i to 2 per cent advance,
Moneyibas ranged between 6 and 25
per cen,?. oi act-usJ, transaetionsv but at
one time was 35 per cent, with no bus
iness. The rate at noon was 20 per
cent, and at 12:50 $200,000 was loaned
at 20 per cent. Loans have been made
on dividend-paying stock at 6 per cent.
IN NEBRASKA.
Probably 130,000 Volunteers Could Be
" Raised on Short Notice.
Lincoln, Neb., Dei. 23. Rumors of
war have caused considerable specula
tion as to the number of men Nebraska
might be able to furnish if called upon
by thegeneral government. Governor
Holcomb has been called upon by the
Eastern press and other sources for
similar information, and has given out
the following:
"I conferred with special aide, Ma
jor E. C. Fechett, sixth cavalry U. S.
A., who gave me the following infor
mation:
' 'Two regiments, one troop of caval
ry and one battary of artillery, with a
total numercial strength of not less
than 1400 men could be placed in the
field instantly should occasion require.
The regiments are .well armed and
equipped.'
"Military men who have studied the
question believe that one company
could be raised in each of the 90 coun
ties in the state on short notice. Then
it is estimated that the city of Lincoln
could furnish at least two or three regi
ments; Omaha and South Omaha five
regiments and with other cities to
draw from, at least 15 or 20 regiments
would be in readiness in short order.
Probably one hundred and thirty thou
sand volunteers might be available
from the state of Nebraska."
Escaped From JaiL,
Heppner, Dec. 23. John Masters
and John Jenkins, two young men who
were sentenced to the county jail for
six months at the last term of court,
escaped from the county jail yesterday,
through the carelessness of the jailer,
who carried them their meals and went
outside to an outhouse for a few min
utes, leaving the jail unlocked. When

.NEW. York, Dec. 22. The market
opened very heavy and panicky, and
serious, .losses from Friday's closing
figures were shown in the first salts.
At 10:30 the market had rallied sh a rplv.
aud the advance from the lowest points
made since the opening extended to 5
per cent. The Improvement was
largely due to cable dispatches deny
ing that the Rothschilds had decided
to withdraw $25,000,000 from their
American correspondent, and that
other Lodon bankers were about to
I take action looking td the withdrawal

Early cablegrams from London wero
of a nature of reassure operators o'n
Wall street, who, in some instances
anticipated a repetition of the slump
in prices witnessed yesterday. The
heaviest decline noted on the London
exchange was only 11 perv cent, rfs
compared with an extreme break of 5
per cent reported yesterday.
The opening of the local market,'
however, was even wilder than that of
yesterday, declines extending to 9 per
cent being reported. The strain was
very 'heavy,, and representatives' of
leadipg foreign houses reiterated . the
opinion that gold will now be steadily
shipped to Europe. . . ,
There is renewed talk of action by a
meeting of ibansers to .sustain the
treasury gold reserve. 1 .'.

FURTHER PRESS COM3INET.
France's Sympathies With Us. Not With
England.
Paris Dec. 22. L.Eclair today de
nies that France sympathies are with
England in the Venezuela dispute, say-
iug that on the contrary they are with
the United States, adding:
"If England's power and prestige are
lessened, nothing would be more to the
advantage of France."
Only One American Say The Spanish.
New YORK. Dec. 22. A special to the
Herald says:
"La Discusione has received a dis
patch from Madrid giving the opinions
of Spanish military engineers, of high
rank, on the possibility of war betwee'n
the United States and Great Eritan
over the Venezuela boundary question.
One officer, high in the engineering de
partment of Spain's army, Coluel Gen
ero Alos, is quoted as saying that Eng
land was treading on dangerous ground.
If she should press the Venezuela aCair
to a climax she would soon recognize
the fact that there was in reality only
one America, and in a crisis such as the
present one, every republic on the con
tinent, from the pigmy San Salvador to
the giant Brazil, would coalesce as -'if
by magic and follow the United States
in battle to preserve and defend the
integrity of . their territory against
European aggression. It was to be
doubted whether England could count
upon assistance from European states."
In London.
LONDON, Dec. 21. Public attention
here is almost entirely diverted from
the political to the financial aspect of
the Venezuelan situation. A rumor
circulated in this city that the Roths
childs had decided to immediately
withdraw 5,000,000 from America is
attracting attention. The Roths
childs, however, informei the Asso
ciated Press today that this report, as
well as the report of a collapse of ne
gotiations for a United States loan,
were utterly untrue; that no negotia
tions were pending regarding the loan
and that no withdrawals of gold from
the United States had been ordered on
account of the Rothschilds.
Leading banking-houses generally
regarded the situation as more favor
able. The head of a prominent bank
ing firm said: "It seems the politieal
question is now laid at rest by the
authorization of the appointment if a
commission of sen&ible men, who will
have time to make their iaflcen ie
felt. My telegrams show no notices
of withdrawals for hording. I am sat
isfied nothing serious will come of it.

to the story told here, the offer was

THE TRAVELS
Or SOUND.
A Man's
Voice Heard at a Distance of
Eighteen Miles. j
An inquiry was recently made in Lon
don as to the greatest distance at which
a man's voice could be heard, leaving of
course the telephone out of considera
tion. The reply, says Harpcr-'s Round
Table, was most interesting, and
was as follows: Eighteen miles is the
distance on record at -which a man's
voice has been heard. This occurred In
the Grand canyon of the Colorado,
when one shouting the name "Bob" at
one end his voice was plainly heard ut
the other end. which is eighteen mil;s
away.
Lieut. Foster, on Parry's third arctic
exnedition. found that he could con
verse with a man across the harbor of
Port Eoweii, a distance of sis thousand
six hundred and ninety-Six feet, or
about or.c mile and a quarter, and Sir
John Franklin said that he conversed
with cnoe at a distance of more than a
mile. Dr. Young records that at Gi
braltar the human voice has been heart!
at a distance of ten miles.'
Sound has remarkable force in water.
Collndon, by experiments made in the
La!cc of Geneva, estimated that a bell
submerged in the sea mfght be heard a
distance of more than sixty miles.
Franklin says that he heard the strik
ing together of two stones in the water
half a mile away. Over water or a
surface of ice sound is propagated with
great clearness and strength.
Dr. Ilutton relates thut on a quiet
part of the Thames, near Chelsea, he
could hear a person read distinctly at
the distance of one hundred and forty
feet, while on the land the same couid
only be heard seventy-six feet. Prof.
Tyndall, when on Mont Ulanc, found
the report of a pistol snot no louaer
than the pop of a champagne bottle.
-Persons in a balloon can beer voices
from the earth a long time after they
themselves are inaudible to people be
low. .-
POSY RINGS.
Some of These Posies Are Very gualnt and
Curious.
When posies inaide of wedding rings
were first introduced does not seem to
be known, says Chambers Journal.
Time has covered that, as he docs so
many things, with the mosses of obliv
ion, but we know that from the six
teenth century until the middle of the
eighteenth it was customary to have
them engraved on rir.gs. These pos
ies or mottoes are seldom to be found
with more than two lines of verse, and
often with only one, but there are few
instances known where three lines
are used. Some of these posies arc
very quaint and curious, and a few
reach a high standard of poetic beauty.
In 1C42 a small collection of rhymes
was published with the title of "Love's
Garland; or Tosics for Ticgn, Handker
chiefs nr.d Cloves, end Suchrrctty To
kens That Lovcra Send Their Loves." It
contains some posies that are not to be
met with elsewhere, and is a very intcr
estingwork, though but fewpeople seem
to have heard of it. The South Ken
sington museum bos a good collection
jf posy rings, and among them we find
the following: "United hearts death
only parts," "Let us chare in joy and
care," "Love and live happily." There
is a story to the cfiVct tlint Dr. John
Thomas, w ho was bishop of Lincoln in
1753, caused to be inscribed inside his
fourth wife's wedding ring: ,
"If I survive
I'll muke them Ore."
If this be true, and not the fable it
appears, we can only judge that the
lady who wore the ring meant to out
live her spouse. How the story arose
i3 not known, but most likely it is all
imagination, for we find the same thing
said about Lady Cathcart and her
fourth husband in 1713. . ... .t.
