GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS ABBAZIA, March 29.—Emperor Francis Joseph arrived at the Mategulie railroad Station at 9 o'clock this morning. The em- peror, who was accompanied by a small suite, was welcomed on the platform by Emperor William, who had personally su- perintended all the arrangements for the re- ception of the Emperor of Austria. The two emperors, upon meeting, kissed each other twice and were then driven to- gether to Abbazia. The reception accorded to Emperor Fran- cis Joseph was most hearty and enthusias- tic. Triumphal arches were erected over the streets through which the two emperors were to pass. The town was handsomely decorated with bunting and enormous crowds cheered themselves*hoarse as the emperors drove by. After arriving at the residence prepared for him, Emperor Francis Joseph changed the Prussian uniform, which he had been wearing, and paid a visit to the Empress of Germany. The empress then presented the | young princes to the Austrian emperor, | and later luncheon was served in the apart- _Ments of the empress, Emperor William has planned to take Emperor Francis Joseph for a sail on his yacht, the Christobel, after luncheon, and later in the afternoon the two emperors will be present at a reception on board the Ger- man warship Moltke, at anchor off Abbazia. The reception on board the warship prom- deck uf the Moltke has been transformed into a charraing tent, and the deck has | been covered with oriental carpets. Em- peror William had a splendid dinner ser- vice sent from Berlin, and this will be used today on the war vessel. The 100 guests will evidently not go ashore thirsty, as Emperor William has sent 200 bottles of champagne on board for use today in additioa to a plentiful supply of other wines, BACK TO HIS NATIVE LAND. Bearing the Remain Hungary. VERONA, Italy, March 29.—The train having on board the deputations from Hungary on their way back from Turin, where they went to attend the Kossuth funeral ceremonies yesterday, arrived here at 1 o'clock. The Hungarians were met at the railroad station by the municipal au- thorities of Verona, and by delegations from the military associations. The mayor of Verona presented an address to the Hungarians, who: spokesmen replied, thanking the Italians for the marks of sympathy which they had displayed. The train bearing Kossuth’s remains ar- rived here at 4 o'clock. Theodore Kossuth | aud the mayor of Buda Pesth alighted from | the train and were met by the authorities jand the same delegations. The mayor of Verona delivered an address to Kossuth’s ; Son and to the mayor of Buda Pesth, in | Which he culogized the deceasad patriot. | Both of the travelers mentioned were over- come with emotion as they responded to the address. There was a scene of great enthusiasm when Theodore Kossuth and the mayor of Buda Pesth re-entered the train, and loud cheers for Hungary and Italy filled the air as the funeral train drew out of the depot and resumed the journey to Buda-Pesth. TREVISO, March 29.—-Kossuth’s funeral train arrived here at 8:30 and was met hy he mayor and municipal officers of this city. Large crowds of people surrounded the depot und all the societies, bearing ban- ners draped with crape, were present. | The mayor of Treviso addressed Kossuth’ son and the mayor of Buda-Pesth.

Two More Arrests of Small Fry Run- ners—Legal Points in a Prose- cution of Backers. Interesting developments are promised in the policy business in the near future. Gardner and Beveridge, for whom search was made inVirginia last Saturday have not been captured, but it is rumored that they will relieve the anxiety of the officers by coming in and standing trial. In the way of a reward for this, they are to ask the prosecuting officer to withdraw the charges against Mrs. Gardner and her daughter, Mrs. Travers. Should this be done the policy men will then make a fight in the case pending against them, unless their other offer to pay a fine and take a light jail sentence is accepted. Judge Miller has always imposed sen- tences in the policy cases calculated to frighten off the backers, and on many occasions he has suggested that the back- ers should be prosecuted instead of the writers. The prosecution of the backers, the judge has often said, is the only way the game can be broken up, and these re- marks have, perhaps, caused the backers | to fear the imposition of heavy jail sen- tences. Then, too, in the Police Court the cases are tried before there is a chance of the witnesses dying or getting scattered, so | that the government is not put to any special disadvantage, ard the defendant's witnesses may also be easily obtained. For this reason the policy men like to take their cases to the Criminal Court, where cases are delayed for a longer time, and where their chances of escaping trial are perhaps better than in the Police Court. The Legal Point. In event of the surrender of the persons mentioned, their cases may be certioraried to the upper court in order to get them as far as the Court of Appeals later. The legal phase of the question will then be contested. These men, it is charged, conduct business across the river, where violators of the law have the right of way over law and order, and it will be contended | that in so doing they violate no law of the District. The prosecution, however, will contend that the employment of writers here constitutes a violation of the Provision of the law which provides against the “promotion” of the game. These matters have heretofore been fully argued, and decided by the Court in Gen- eral Term, sustaining the decision of Judge Miller, and now the Court of Appeals may Probably have an opportunity to pass upon the question. = = While this matter is players and writers are having a hard time to engage in the mysteries of the game without getting in trouble. A Mysterious Message. In Georgetown yesterday Policeman Brad- ley made two arrests and one of them showed to the satisfaction of the officer that pending the policy the policy men were resorting to their old | game of playing in cipher. Green S. Lewis, a fifty-five-year-old colored man, was ar- rested and on him several policy slips were found. He was on his way to Rosslyn at the time, and, in addition to the policy slips, the officer took from him a paper on which was written: “The house in the woods. Ice and snow on ground. Sheep in cote. Blacksmith at forge—the traveling man was caught steal- ing—the singing girl's shoes are old. I like a good hat. Bread and Butter and Milk for supper. I want a watch to run monthly— one and eleven balls in the boy's cap on top are twelve balls. The music man’s hair grew long white silk. Dress, Drink, Whisky, Barber, Black man, High horse, White C. D. C., Catfish, Frogs, Snakes, Filth, Runs, Wagon, Water, Gold.” An examination of this paper showed that it was meant to contain nearly forty policy rows, among them being house row, 1-8-16; | Wood row, 4-43-58; whisky row, 18-25-76. In some of the rows a distinction is made between Georgetown and Washington. Snake row, for instance, is made up of 1-3-5-8 in Georgetown, while in the city it comprises 7-8-11-66. The Trials Today. When the old man appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning he admitted that he had written the names to remind him of the different rows. “The amount of ingenuity ‘displayed in this business,” remarked Judge Miller to the prisoner, “is worthy of a better cause.” “I know it 1s, judge,’ the prisoner said, “and I am as much against the game as anybody else.”” “I see you are.” McDonald said he was not employed in any manner whatever by the policy people, but that he sometimes made a play Judge Miller continued the case until to- morrow to hear additional evilence. A colored man, named Thomas Shaadts, who was suspected of engaging in the poli icy game, was also arrested. He had a punctured slip of paper showmg policy numbers, but he denied that he was even a player. But the police had seen him going across the bridge day after day and he had even been seen in the policy places on the other side of the river. “What took you over if you didn’t play poitcy him. “A man over there owes me 50 cents and I've been going over there after him.” Judge Kimball held him guilty and sen- tenced him to give real estate security in the sum of $100 or go down for ninety days. Some trouble was caused in the policy camp a few days ago when fish row, ““6-11- 66," came out and many neg s had play- ed it. The numbers were changed on the slips, so it is charged, and the players threatened the backers with arrest. Soces utes ABANDONED TRACKS, e river so often the judge asked Summary Action to Be Taken by the Commissioners. The Commissioners have determined to take summary action with those railroads that have abandoned parts of their route and take up the tracks along such places. This action was recommended by Capt. Fiebeger today and the matter was sent | to the attorney for the District for his opinion as to the Commissioners’ power in the premises. It appears from the records of the office that the Eckington railroad has abandoned that portion of its route along New York avenue north to P street. The Brightwood railroad has abandoned its tracks on Kene- saw and Marshall streets from 17th to Lith Streets, and the Anacostia railroad has abandoned its entire branch line from lith and G street southeast to 17th street. All of these matters have been before the Commissioners for some time. Perhaps the greatest protest came from those persons who lived in the neighborhood of the jail, and those who visited the Congressional cemetery, against the abandonment of ihe Anacostia branch. As a preliminary move in the matter, requests were sent to the president of each of the railroads, that they furnish the Commissioners at once with a schedule of the running of the cars. Some trouble was experienced in getting them, but the last one—the Anacostia road—sub- mitted its schedule this morning, and im- mediately thereafter action was taken. Tne Commissioners are determined to compel these railroads to operate their lines or for- feit their tracks, if there is any law on the subject to help them. > Army Orders. A general court-martial is appointed to meet at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, on the 30th day of March, for the trial of such prisoners as may be brought before it. The detail for the court is Capt. Charies Bird, assistant quartermaster; Capt. Henry P. Ritzius, twenty-fifth infantry; First Lieut. Bogardus Eldridge, tenth infantry; First Lieut. Joseph M. T. Partello, fifth infantry First Lieut. Eaton A. Edwards, twenty-fifth infantry; First Lieut. Will T. May, fifteenth infantry; First Lieut. William Hughes, thirteenth infantry; First Lieut. Daniel F. Anglum, twelfth infantry; Second Lieut.

Goe, adjutant thirteenth infantry, is extended one month. ee eee Sweeping the Streets. A good deal of mirthful excitement smiled and smole this afternoon around the corner of 7th and G streets. Mr. W. Nicholson, a business man of good standing, was ihe victim. Yesterday Mr. P. H. Hoban of the firm of Osborn and Hoban was lecturing several friends on his devotion to duty and their lack of industry and safd he would give any one of them $15 for a half day's work. Mr. Nicholson was one of the party, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon he showed up and began to exercise a broom on G street. At the hour of going to press he was still sweeping the street. (Continued from First Page.) and in the estimation of the holders of the same, by giving to such holders, on their redemption, the coin, whether it is gold or silver, which they prefer. It follows that while in terms the law leaves the choice of coin to be paid on such redemption to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the exercise of this discretion, if opposed to the demands of the holder, is entirely in- consistent with the effective and beneficial maintenance of the parity between the two metals. If both gold and silver are to serve us as money and if they together are to supply to our people a safe and stable currency the necessity of preserving this parity is obvious. Such necessity has been repeat- edly conceded in the platforms of both political parties and in our federal statutes. It is nowhere more emphatically recog- nized than in the recent law which repealed the provision under which the bullion now on hand was purchased. This law insists upon the “Maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts.” The Secretary of the Treasury has there- fore for the best of reasons, not only | Promptly complied with every demand for the redemption of these treasury notes in | gold, but the present situation, as well as the letter and spirit of the law, appear plainly to justify, if they do not enjoin upon him, a continuation of such redemption. The conditions I have endeavored to pre- sent may be thus summarized: First. The Government has purchased and now has on hand sufficient silver bullion to permit the coinage of all the silver dollars necessary to redeem, in such dollars, the Treasury notes issued for the purchase of said silver bullion and enough besides to coin, as gain or seigniorage, fifty-five mil- Mon, one hundred and fifty-six thousand six hundred and eighty-one «additional standard silver dollars. Second. There are outstanding and now in circulation Treasury notes issued in pay- ment of the bullion purchased amounting to $152,951,280. These notes are legal tender in | Payment of all debts, public and private, | except when otherwise expressly stipulated, they are receivable for customs, taxes | and all public dues, when held by banking associations they may be counted as part of their lawful reserves, and they are re- deemed by the Government in gold, at the option of the holders. These advantageous attributes were deliberately attached to these notes at the time of (heir issue, they are fully understood by our people to whom | such notes have been distributel as cur- rency, and have inspired confidence in their | safety and value, and have undoubtedly | thus induced their continued and contented | use as money, instead of anxiety for their redemption. Statement of His Objections, Having referred to some incidents which I deem relevant to the subject, it remains | | for me to submit a specific statement of my | objections to the bill now under considera- tion. | This bill consists of two sections, ex- cluding one which merely appropriates a sum sufficient to carry the act into effect. | The first section provides for the immediate coinage of the silver bullion in the treas- | ury which represents the so-called gain or seigniorage or which would arise from the | coinage of all the bullion on hand, which gain or seigniorage this section declares to be $55,156,681. It directs that the money so coined or the certificates issued thereon | shall be used in the payment of public ex- penditures, and provides that if the needs of the treasury demand it, the Secretary of | the Treasury may, in his discretion, issue silver certificates in excess of such coin age, not exceeding the amount of seignior- | axe in said section authorized to be coined. ‘The second section directs that as soon ‘as possible after the coinage of this seig- | niorage the remainder of the bullion held | by the government shall be coined into | legal tender standard silver dollars, and | that they shall be held in the treasury for | the redemption of the treasury notes issued in,the purchase of said bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes, they shal! | | not be reissued, but shall be canceled and | | destroyed in amounts equal to the coin held | at any time in the treasury derived from | the coinage provided for, and that silver certificates shall be issued on such coin in the manner now provided by law. It is, | however, especially declared in said sec tion that the act shall not be construed to change existing laws relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of | the treasury notes issued for the purchase | of the silver bullion to be coined. The Bill Unfortunately Constructed. | The entire bill is most unfortunately con | structed. Nearly every sentence presents | uncertainty and invites controversy as to its meaning and intent. The first section |1s especially faulty in this respect, and it is extremely doubtful whether its language | will permit the consummation of its sup- |posed purposes. I am led to believe that jthe promoters of the bill intended in this | Section to provide for the coinage of the bullion constituting the gain or seigniorage, as it is called, into standard silver dollars: and yet there fs positively nothing in the section to prevent its coinage into any de- scription of silver coins now authorized } | under any existing law. I suppose this sec- tion was also intended, in case the needs of the treasury called for money faster than the seigniorage bullion could actually be coined, to permit the issue of silver certifi- cates in advance of such coinage; but its language would seem to permit the issu- ance of such certificates to double the amount of seigniorage as stated, one-half of which would not represent an ounce of silver in the treasury. The debate upon this section in the Congress developed an earnest and positive difference of opinion |as to its objection and meaning. In any event I am clear that the present perplex- | | ities and embarrassments of the Secretary | of the Treasury ought not to be augmented by devolving upon him the execution of a jlaw so uncertain and confused. I am not willing, however, to rest_ my objection to this section solely on these | grounds; in my judgment sound finance | does not commend a further infusion of | silver into our currency at this time unac- companied by further adequate provision for the maintenance in our treasury of a safe gold reserve. Doubt as to the Secord Section’ Meaning. | Doubts also arise as to the meaning and | construction of the second section of the | bill. If the silver dollars therein directed | to be coined are, as the section provides, to | be held in the treasury for redemption of | treasury notes, it 1s suggested that, strictly speaking, certificates cannot be issued on such coin “in the manner now provided by | law," because these dolllars are money held |in the treasury for the express purpose of | redeeming treasury notes, on demand, which would ordinarily mean that they were set apart for the purpose of substitut- ing them for these treasury notes. They are not therefore held in such a way as to furnish a basis for certilicates according to any provision of existing law. If, however, silver certificates can properly be issued upon these dollars, there is nothing in the section to Indicate the characteristics and | functions of these certificates. If they were to be of the same character as silver cer- tificates in circulation under existing laws they would at best be receivable only for customs, taxes and all public dues; and un- der the language of this section it is, to say the least, extremely doubtful whether the certificates it contemplates would be law- fully received even for such purposes. Whatever else may be sald of the uncer-| tainties of expression in this bill, they cer- tainly ought not to be found in legislation affecting subjects so important and far reaching as our finances and currency. In stating other and more important reasons for my disapproval of this section I shall, however, assume that under its provisions the treasury notes issued in payment for silver bullion will continue to be redeemed as heretofore in silver or gold at the option of the holders, and that if when they are presented for redemption, or reach the treasury in any other manner, there are in the treasury coined silver dollars equal in nominal value to such treasury notes, then and in that case, the notes will be de- stroyed and silver certificates to an equal amount be substituted. A Dangerous Scheme. I am convinced that this scheme fs {I advised and dangerous. As an ultimate re- sult of its operation Treasury notes which are legal tender for all debts, public and private, and which are redeemable in gold or silver, at the option of the holder, will be -Page 18 BIRTE Page 5 BOARDING. -Page 13 BUSINESS co -Page 11 CITY ITEMS... -Page 8 COUNTRY REAL ESTATE. --Page 11 DEATHS. -Page 5 DENTISTRY -Page 11 { EDUCATIONAL. -Page 9 EXCURSIONS, &e. ~Page 9 FINANCIAL. -Page 3 FOR EXCHA -Page 11 FOR RENT (Flats) --Page 11 FOR RENT (Plats. -Page 10 FOR RENT (Houses) -Page 10 | Oliscellaneous). -Page 10 FOR RENT (Offices).

In anticipation of this result, and as an imme- diate effect, the Treasury urally appreciate in Jue and desirability. The fact that gold can be realized upon them, and the further fact that their de struction has been decreed when they reach the Treasury, must tend to their with- drawal from general circuiati to be im- mediately presented for goid redemption or to be hoarded for presentation at a more convenient season. The sequel of both op- erations will be a large addition to the sil- ver currency in our circulation and a cor- responding reduction of gold in the Treas- ury. The argument has been made that these things will not occur at once, because a long time must elapse before the coinage of anything but the seigniorage can be en- tered upon. If the physical effects of the execution of the second section of this bill are not to be realized until far in the fu- ture, this may furnish a strong reason why it should not be passed so much in advance. but the postponement of :ts actual opera- tion cannot prevent the fear and loss of confidence and nervous precaution which would immediately follow its passage and bring about Its worst cansequences. I re- gard this section of the bill as embodying a plan by which the Government will be obliged to pay out its scanty store of gold for no other purpose than to force an unnatural addition of silver money into the hands of our people. This is an exact re- versal of the policy which safe finance dic- tates if we are to preserve parity between gold and silver and maintain sensible bi- metallism. Must Strengthen the Gold Reserve. We have now cutstanding more than $33S,000,000 in silver certificates issued un- der existing laws. They are serving the purpose of money vsefully and without question. Our gold reserve, amounting to ttle more than $10,000,000, is di- charged with the redemption of $346,000,000 of United States notes. When it is proposed to Inflate our silver currency it is a time for strengthening our gold re- serve, instead of depleting it. I cannot con- ceive of a longer step toward silver mono- metallism than we take when we spend our gold to buy silver certificates for circula- tion, especially in view of the practical dif- culties surrounding the replenishment of our gold. This leads me to earnestly present the de- sirability of granting to the Secretary of the Treasury a better power than now ex- ists to ue bonds to protect our gold re- serve when for any reason it should be necessary. fused condition and cur financial affairs are apt to assume at any time so critical a position that it seems to me such a course is dictated by ordinary prudence. I am not inseasible to the arguments in favor of coining the bullion seigniorage now in the treasury, and I believe it could be done safely and with advantage, if the Secretary of the Treasury had the power to issue bends at a low rate of interest under authcrity in substitution of that now ex- isting and better suited to the protection of the treasury. I hope a way will present itself in the near future for the adjrstment of our mon- etary affairs in such a comprehensive and conservative manner as will accord to sil- ver its proper place in our currency; but in the meantime I am extremely solicitous that whatever action we take on this sub- ject may be such as to prevent loss and discouragement *o our people at home, and the destruction of corfiGence in our finan- cial management abroad. GROVER CLEVELAND. Executice Mansioa, March 20, 1894. —————-_e-____ GONE TO HONOLULU. Rear Admiral J. G. Walker left Wash- ington yesterday afternoon to execute his mysteriously confidential mission to the Hawatiar Islands. He will make the trip by way of New York, reaching San Fran- cisco in time to take the steamer of April 5 for Honolulu. Admiral Irwin, command- ing the Pacific station, will retire on the j 15th proximo, and Admiral Walke- is ex- pected to relieve him about the date nam- ed. The new commander got his instruc- tions direct from the President, and they are undoubtedly special and important in character. Unusual efforts are being made to keep their exact nature from the public, and so far with success. Beyond a general idea that Admiral Walker's mission hi something to do with the establishment of a coaling station in Pearl River harbor, a comparatively unimportant duty in it- self, the gossips are all at sea with respect to the future policy of the administration toward the Hawaiian government. Before leaving the admiral said he ex- pected to be back in Washington in the course of two or three months, as he could imagine no contingencies that would delay him in Honolulu more than six weeks or two months at the most. He had no idea that he would have to go to Bering sea, as affairs there seemed to be working around to the point where the American vessels on patrol duty would not need the presence of an admiral’s flag. ship any more than they did last year.
