Carlisle's Report.
Washington, Dee. 20. The annual
report of the secretary of tho treasury,
Car late, was sent to congress today. It
sh iws, during the first five months of
tho present fiscal year.tbe expenditures
of the government exceed receipts,
$29,018,095. The secretary assumes the
worst effect of the recent financial dis
turbances aud business depression, is
past, that the remainder of the year
will show better results. And be esti
mates the deficiency at the close of fie
year at (28,000,000. To meet this, he
recommends amendment of specie pay
ments resumption act of 1875, to au
thorize him to sell 3 per cent, bonds
not exceeding $200,000,000 in amount,
at not less than par, saying however,
that in his opinion, only great, press
ing financial emergencies would justify
resorting to an Issue of bonds.
He suggests bonds be issued in de
nominations $25 and multiples thereof,
to be sold through sub-treasuries and
postoffices. In case congress should
decline to follow this course he recom
mends the secretary be empowered to
execute obligations of the government
not totta jt?$50,000,000 bearing three
per cent., to be sold or circulated in
payment of government obligations.
He points out the necessity for the ex
tention of power of the secretary to
maintain a large reserve for redemp
tion of United State currency. Tns
secretary adds: "So long as the gov-
eminent continues the uuwlse policy of
keeping Its own notes outstanding to
o rculate a currency and undertake
to provide f r their redemption In coin
on presentation, it will be In my opin
ion essential for the secretary of the
tretsuryto possets the means to meet
suoh emergencies as one which recent
ly occurred in our financial affairs.
SILVKR LEGISLATION.
He says the repeal of the silver pur
chase act makes such a radical change
In the currency policy of our govern
ment that until Its efleot is more fully
developed he does not consider It ad
visable t recommend further specific
legislation on that subject. He says a
great Increase in the bank reserve in
th mi.nctarv centers of our country
shows conclusively that the amount of
. i- ...,fli(han '
money in me country is jjic "
required for the transaction of business.
He finds one of the prlnolpal difficult
ies the treasury to result from indis
position of the public to retain silver
dollars and silver cartlflcates in circula
tloo.andhas sought t remedy It by
Increasing the number of silver cerlifl-
-,.af rfunoui nitons jew iu '
dollars, retiring the larger
antwtltutiuir for them large
other kln.Is of cu rency.
The report thea deals at length with
tarlfllaw. He aruei In favor of ad
valorem dull . He also ure strong
!y tni slrblllty of free raw materials,
recommend, a i Increase of neJ
9r tftlliM on distilled spl'lts and addl-
lonal taxes on c gars aud clgaretts, and
ew meson playing cards, cosmetics,

-nS3K?ssS5,
fl ii ty exp-rlenced by offlcers charged
with duty of assisting In enforcement
of Chinese exclusion laws, is by reason
of certain practices resorted to by the
utilneso coolie. UI am of the opinion
that as long as our laws prohibit laud
ing of Chinese laborers, the privilege of
pawing through oar territory cannot bo
safely granted and should at once be
revoked. If this privilege Is continued
it will be impossible to secure efficient
execution of laws passed by congress
for exclusion of Chinese laborers.
PACIFIC RAILWAYS.
On subject of Piclfij railways the
Secretary s.iys they are now outstand
ing $04,623,61! bIx per cent United
8tates bonds issued In aid of Pacific
railways, Congress shimld take action
at this session with respect to payment
at least or $2 392,000 which will mature
within the fhcal year 189-5. Some plan
should be adopted which will secure
ultimate payment of indebtedness to
the gitvernmeut and at the same time
permit companies to conduct business
undur suoh limitations and restrictions
nscessary to protect rights of all parties
Interested In the property. It would
be very unfortuuate if the government
should be forced to operate these lines
of railway.

O. P. Retrenchment.
Albany, Dec. 20. Tho management
of the Oreuon P.iclQo has been cutting
off expenses yesterday and today with
a sharp knife. The river service will he
discontinued and all of the section
crews taken off, excepting oob man to
every 10 miles, who will walk the track
the stenographers In the general oftlces
have been dispensed with. The Port
land office will be closed. All better
ments aro stopped. The physical con
dition of the road Is good and will stand
for some time.
The river service will probably be
done by the Elwood. Both Messrs.
Hadlevand Mulcaby say not a dollar
will be spent on betterment while busi
ness Is so dull. The object is to pay of!
tho debt ot the present administration,
which can be douo under a policy of
this kind. Extensive betterment!
were made, supposing the purchasers
of the property would gladly pay for
them. A scheme leaked out here to
day that t'ol. Hogg's friends were do
ing their utmost to lnure the present
management with the view of getting
a Hogg man In for receiver, tuereny
throwing the control of the property
hack Into Hoge's hands. C. C.IIojrue

London, Dec. 20. Tho Globe com
menting on President Cleveland's mes
sace in regard to Hiuv.ill siyn that
Queen Ltlluoknlaul Intends to return
to the thrnnd of Hawaii as a real queen
or not to return at all. The Foid d In
triguers who produced her full had bet
ter make themselves scarce, for the re
turn of the exile of Elba will bo noth
ing to hnr return from exile. Tho peo
plo of Hawaii must bo puzzled by the
gyrations of their mighty protectors.
Perhaps It does not matter to them
whether Lilluokalanl, Cleveland or
Harrison governs, provided thoyaro
allowed to lie in tho auu aud do no
work. Their preference, however, Is
for the native queen. It is feared,
though, that if the queen trusts her
restoration to hor quondam subjeots It

IN TUB 1IOUSH.
Washington, D. C, Dee. 20. Im
mediately after reading the journal yes
terday Cookran oflered a resolution
which lie sought to present, to appoint
u special committee of seven to Investi
gate the alleged attempt of the last ad
ministration to annex territory to the
United States without consulting tho
house of representatives, aud iuqulre
into tho rights of tho house in the
promises. The resolution had no soon
er been read than a dozen inou on each
side of the house rushed toward the bar
of tho house crying for recognition,
Boutello, meantime, was wild in at
tempting to offer tho resolution to
tnovo to refer the resolution to the com
mltteo on ruleu nnd upon which ho de
manded the previous question.
The confusion was so great that tho
speaker was appealed to several times
for order. Finally Breckinridge made
a point of order that under the rule the
resolution would go to the committee
on rules without motion. Tho speaker
held In accordance with tho point of or
der and referred the roso utlon.
Breckinridge then tried to movo to
go Into a committee of tne whole for
consideration of the uruunt dtflcl-
eney bill, but Boutello was at tho front
demanding recognition for u prlvlledged
resolution and the speaker was obliged
to recognize him. When his resolution
was read it proved to be the resolution
Boutello sought to Introduce last night,
declaring the prerogatives of congress
had been Invaded by the policy of tho
administration and declaring that the
policy consistent with the spirit of the
constitution and traditions of the party
bow was now fully under way. Mo
Creary, chairman of the foreign nflalrM
committee, made tho point that tho
resolution was not prlvlledged and after
some sharp words from each side, Bou
tells got the floor to discuss the ques
tion as to whether the resolution was
prlvlledged.
The message the president read hero,
ho said, "Indicates this country may be
luvnlved in war with a frleudly power
for all we know." Hildhelna loud
voice. '"The arms of the United Stated
may be even now pinioning with their
bayonets a friendly nation with whom
the mass of tho x-oplo sympathize."
He heid It with the Imperative duty of
congress, relunclantly recognized by
tbe president, to disavow, discredit In
the eyes of tho civilize I world, (Great
applause on republican side, "i care
not whether this policy emauates"
coutlnuea B-uutelle, "from a republi
can president or a dem crat usurper."
The confusion that followed ihauw of
tbe wo.d "usurper" completely drowu
ed the rel ol the sentence. He contin
ued to talk amid loud cries for order,
and the speaker at last with the aid of
his gavel brought the house to a stand

had fairly launched his next phllllpkl

ground from uuder him by deciding

table, which motion proyal cd, 180 to

During tho dabato on tho deficiency

fied to the justice of tho demand, but tho
houso would not agrco to it and wont

speaker had retired from tho chair and
tho committee on rules had hold a
