THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE Formal Opening of the Debs Con- spiracy Trial. OPENING ARGUMENT OF GOVERNMENT Defendants Conspired to Obstruct the Mails. NO REPRESENTING ROADS CHICAGO, Il, January 26.—The formal opening of the conspiracy trial in the United States circuit court took place to- day. The twelve jurors selected yesterday were sworn, and three more defendants put in an appearance, making nineteen of the thirty-eight left on the omnibus in- dictment who were on trial. Judge Crosseup announced that after the opening speech for the defense counsel fer the defendants might show to the jury wherein their clients differed from the posl- tion of the leaders. Thomas (. Miichrist, one of the special counsel for the government, opened the argument. He said the directors of the A. R. U. were charged, with others, with conspiring to obstruct and retard the pas- sage of the United States mail. He in- sisted that the counsel was not defending or representing any of the roads, but the government. He then proceeded to review the indict- ment as it set forth the particular overt acts alleged by the government to “have been the result and the consequences of the conspiracy. He began with the throw- Ing of a switch at Blue Isiand on June 30 by Mervin. Mr. Miichrist proceeded with his review of the indictment, claiming the government would prove that a conspiracy existed be- tween the officers of the A. R. U. —— STIFF FIGHT WITH RIOTERS. Military Guards Assailed With Bricks and Stones. BROOKLYN, N. Y., January 25. The military guards stationed at the Flatbush avenue station had a stiff fight with rioters at 3:30 o'clock this morning. They were marching through the srow and fog and were assailed by a shower of bricks and steses. Soldiers could not tell from which direction stones Were fiung, and in order to protect themselves they fired a volley. The builets did not hurt anybody and the crowd scattered. The companies’ plan today contemplated the running of 295 cars on lines that ordi- narily have 660 ears in operation. Neither -the railway presidents nor the executive board of the strikers’ orzaniza- tion were present at the time set for the hearing before the state beard cf arbitra- tion thts forencen, and adjournment was taken at noon. Gen. MeLeer, who ts in command of the troops in Breoklyn; Col. Austin, Maj.

A& Resolution Ad ed Calling for ome Figures. -Senator Gallinger today secured favora- ble action by the Senate upon a resolution of Intpiiry directed to the Commissioners of the District_concerning the public schools, which, when fully answered, will give the Senate a great deal of valuable informa- tion. The resolution {s as follows: “That the Commissioners of the District be di- rected to furnish to the Senate the follow- ing information concerning the public schools of the District, in convenient te lated form, at the earliest date practicab! First, the number and location of each of the high schools and the average enroll- ment ‘of pupils In each of said schools for the month of December last, as reported to the superintendent of schools; second, the loctfon and kind of each of the industrial training schools and the average enroll- ment of pupils im each of said schools for the month of December last; third, the location of each of the evening schools and the average number of pupils in attendance at each during the first half of January, 1895; fourth,in the eight grades of the other schools, the name of each school building, if It has one, and its location, the number of school rooms in each building, the num- ber of the rooms, in some convenient or- der, and giving opposite each room in the first column the grade of each school, in the second column the average enrollment of pupils in the room for the month of De- cember last, in the third column the num- ber less than fifty-six pupils, in the fourth column the number in excess of fifty-six pupils, in the fifth column the numoer of regular applicants awaiting admission; in the case of half-day schools report cach separately.” Before the resolution was adopted Sena- tor Galling r said that it has gone out to the country that Congress does not pro- vide adequate school buildings for the ct il- aren of school age in the District. An edi- torial in a New York paper, he added, says that there are $0,000 schoolless children in the District, and this is a serious reflection upon the people of the country. “The resolution,” he said, “is merely in- terded to determine this matter for our- selves. I think that the situation bas been greatly exaggerated and that school facilities here are almost, if not quite, ade- quate for the wants of the District.” The resolution was then adopted without di- vision. ——-_—_—_ Romance and Crime In Kentucky. Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. BRISTOL, Tenn., January 26—Tom Jus- tice of Pike county, Ky., forged an order with which to get money to buy his sweet- beart a trousseau. She was the belle of the neighborhood. Tom was pursued by officers, but escaped into West Virginia and secured a position in a telegraph office. In a day or two the Pike county offic telegraphed the West Virginia officers: “Is Tom Justice there?" Tom received the message, tore it to pieces and answered: “No; Justice ain't here; he left yes: lay for Tennessee.” The officer, however, was not satisfied, and found the fugitive and -orted him home. His friends went cn bis bond and he left again yesterday. The officer found him in Tennessee and brought m back.

Washington and Georgetown and the Rock Creek Companies Report the Progress Made. The Senate resolution directing the Com- missioners to inform Congress what ar- rangement, if any, had teen made between the several railroad companies of the Dis- trict in regard to transfers, will probably be reported upon in a few days. Upon the receipt of this resolution the Commis~ sioners sent a circular letter to each of the railroad companies requesting the desired information. The responses have been prompt, and have been printed from time to time in The Star. Today a response was received from the Washington . and Georgetown Railroad Company and the Rock Creek railroad. President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company states that there is but one road in the city which connects with the lines of his company ard that is the Belt Line railway, and it has not asked to make transfer arrange- ments. The full eorrespondence between President Dunlop and the presidents of the Georgetown and Tenleytown, Brightwood and Rock Creek Railroad companies upon this subject is inclosed. Under date of December 22, 1804, these three railroad companies joined in the following letter to President Dunlop: : “Regarding the subject matter under dis- cussion between you and ourselves—i. e- a transfer system or traffic arrangement, you state that you are willing to carry our passengers into the city for us on a trans- fer. When they return over your line you are to keep .06 1-4 cents for the round trip ot that passenger over your line. We are willing to grant you that amount, but as we havé, as a rule, the long haul each way, we think we should be allowed a little greater amount for the round trip over our road, and make the following suggestions. As you get what you ask, we should aiso get what we want, and suggest either of the three following methods, two of which do away with transfers to a considerable exient, and puts the matter in the hands of the officers of the companies: Subdarban Road's “The suburban roads sell a monthly ticket entitling the holder to sixty (60) rides over the suburban road and sixty (60) over the Washington and Georgetown road during the motth of issuance, and void after that month, for $4. “Divide that $ between the two roads, at $2.20 to the Suburban road and $1.80 to the Washington and Georgetown railroad. “Under this arrangement, taking into con- sideration rides not made during the month, the average price per ride would be greater than .0S 1-2 cents per ride. This proposi- tion is for the permanent travel. “Second. Let the suburban roads sell tick- ets entitling the holder to rides on sub- urban roads and rides on the Washington and Georgetown railroad; have these tick- ets distinct from® other tickets, and state that they are only good on suburban road issuing and the Washington and George- town railroad; suburban roads to redeem ali tickets presented by the Washington and Georgetown railroad at .08 1-2 cents each—this would be on the monthly basis of full fare one way and two cents for a transfer. hird—Charge the transient travel three cents for a transfer. Let either road issue transfers; then all transfers turned in by the lines ‘to be redeemed by the Washing- ton and Georgetown road at four cents. If the suburban lines issue the transfers, then redeem all presented by the Washing- ton and Geurgetown road at two cents each—this gives the suburban line .04 cents for long haul and the Washington and Georgetown .02 cents for short haul. By this process the suburban lines divert all of their travel to the Washington and Georgetown raliroad, and thus revenue would be increased without any additional expense to them. his proposition does not take anything away from you, as under your own propo- sition you were to receive two cents on transfers, and this gives it to you, but at the same time adds to ours, which is nec- essary to our life.” The Rock Creek Rond. On behalf of the Rock Creek Railway Company, Francis G. Newlands, the presi- dent, informs the Commissioners, in re- sponse to ur inquiry as to what steps had been taken to effect a reciprocal trans- fer arrangement between the Metropolitan Railroad Company and the Rock Creek Railway Company,” that he sends copies of all letters which have passed between the officers of the two roads with refer- ence to such ar:angemen wiands states that the Commissioners will—see frem the correspondence that his company had three negotiations with the Metropoli- tan Compeny, and he adds that at the second, which was held with the late Mr. Stephenson, then president of the Metro- politan Company, Mr. Stephenson made # satisfactory offer of reciprocal transfer to the representatives of the Brightwood, Georgetown, Tenleytown and the Rock Creek Railroad Companies. He states that Mr. Phillips maintains that the arrangement contemplated was unwarranted by law. Mr. Newlands then proceeds to argue that it was understood by the committees of both houses that it was not a free transfer arrangement which was contemplated, as Mr. Phillips con- tended, for the reason that the suburban roads could not live on a free transfer ar- rangement. Mr. Newlands urges that the situation of the suburban roads is different from that of the city roads for the reason that on the former the average length of the ride is longer. A Proposed Solution. He states as his belief that “the true so- lution of the question is to allow the sub- urban residents—those who travel every day in the year into the city—a commuta- tion rate which will put upon them the burden of but one fare to the central parts of the city, and to charge the excursion- ists, whose visits to the country are only occasional—once a week in some cases, once a month in others, and once 2 year in others—either a full fare or a slightiy modi- fied one until the suburban roads are on a dividend-paying basis.” A Difference of Opinion. Mr. Newlands states that he appends the correspondence between the Washington and Georgetown and the Rock Creek Com- pany regarding a reciprocal transfer ar- rangement and adds: “It voll be observed that the Washing- ton aad Georgetcwn Railroad Cuinpany does not take the view of the law which the Metropolitan Railroad Company takes, for it proposes an additional charge of two cents, to be divided between the trunk and the suburban lines. “In conclusion, I have to say that the Rock Creek Railway Company is solicitous for an early solution of this question, and offers to leave the matters in dispute to your honorable board for immediate deter- minaticn.”” Appended to this report is a statement signed by President Emmons of the George- town and Tenleytown, President Cummings and General Manager Williams of the Brightwood Company, to the effect that the particulars of the conference between Mr. Stevenson and the representatives of the suburban lines on August 9, 1894, as given by Mr. Newlands in his letter are correct. Mr. Dunlop's Proposition. Mr. Newlands appends to his communi- cation a letter received from President Durlop of the Washington and Georgetown road, proposing to transfer with the Rock Cresk Company both at 14th aad U streets and at 7th and U streets, upor cn full fare and two cents for a tra: to be charged by each road. In response to this letter Mr. Newlands, under date of January 23, replies to Mr. Dunlop, statirg that he sends him # com- munication addressed to the District Com: missioners concerning reciprocal transfer 's with the Metropolitan road, ttention particularly to that portion which skews that the suburban reads caunot live upon a transfer arrange- ment which does not give them at least two cents for the transfer. “The demand for a single fare comes from the suburban residents of the District of Columbia, and not from the excursionists and pleasure rs, who use the suburban roads only aliy. I therefore propose, first, a al transfer arrangement by which | a commutation ticket shall be issued to suburban residents, entitling them to trans- | portation over both roads for one*fare, of which etch road is to receive one-half; secerd, a three-cent reciprocal transfer for | all other passengers, of whizh one cent shall go to the Washington and George- town Company and two cents to the Rock Creek Railway Company.” MR. FRYE’S REPLY He Denies the Charges as to Ha- waiian Bonds. DRAMATIC SCEN IN THE SENATE eee pa The Vest Substitute Resolution is Adopted. INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS The Senate journal of yesterday's pro- ceedings was so voluminous, relating to the Nicaragua bill, that immediately after the gavel fell, Mr. Kyle (N. D.) secured unanimous consent to dispense with its reading. Senator Hoar (Mass.) asked that the rules of the Senate be considered to permit the presence of members-elect of the House on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Harris (Tenn.), in the chair, said that such was the rule, but Mr. Hoar said that some of the doorkeepers did not so under- stand, and so the Senate declared, at his request, that the privilege should be ex- tended. Mr. Allen (Neb.) presented a resolution authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to exercise his discretion of redeeming all forms of paper currency in silver, as often as he is convinced that a systematic effort is being made to deplete the gold re- serve and force an issue of bonds. The resolution went over under the rules. Mr. Mitchell (Oreg.) offered an amend- ment to the sundry civil bill providing for an investigation by the Treasury Depart- ment of the destruction of the eggs of game fowls in the upper Rocky mountain region and in Alaska. Mr. Mitchell spoke of the wanton disregard of game laws and the rules of sportsmanship which was re- sulting in the extermination of the best game birds in the far northwest. Mr. Lodge Replies to Mr. Millis. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) then rose to reply to the remarks of Mr. Mills yesterday, that New England held Hawaiian bonds and that this was the motive inspiring New England Senators in their interest for the Hawaiian republic. Mr. Ledge declared that the bond story was a miserable falsehood. No such bonds as the Senator from Texas had described were in existence. He (Lodge) never heard of such bonds. The statements made yes- terday were based on a mere invention. The original statement purported to be based on a letter in the possession of a democratic Senator. Mr. Lodge expressed doubt us to this, and said it would be an easy thing for this Senator to produce the letter. In the course of his remarks Mr. Lodge made a direct and personal charge. against the managers of a New York news- parer, from which Mr. Mills had read the statement. The Senator used the word “lies” freely. Mr. Frye’s Vigurous Resentment Mr. Frye (Me.) followed Mr. Lodge, and it soon became evident that the New Eng- Jand Senators were deeply incensed at Mr. Mills’ speech and intendéd to resent it vig- orously. Mr. Frye is one of the most bit- terly sarcastic speakers in the Senate, and it ts seldom that he has shown his mas- tery of this line of attack so effectively as today. The galleries filled as he proceeded _— his remarks were the sensation of the lay. Mr. Frye said he had seldom had occa- sion to defend himself during a long ser- vice in the Senate. He read with ironical emphasis the original charge that a Sena- tor had received a letter from Hawail, charging that cheap Hawaiian bonds were being floated in New England, and that this was the motive behind the enthusiasm of New England Senators for Hawail. Mr. Frye paused for 4 moment as he fin- isbed reading the charge. Then, turning to the democratic side, said: “If any dem- cratic Senator now present has such a letter, I ask him to send it to the clerk's desk and have it read.” The democratic Senators looked at each other, but there was no reply. Mr. Frye proceeded: “If the Senator is not here, then I will ask him when he comes to pro- duce that letter.” Mr. Frye turned his attention to the de- tailed charges made in the original article quoted by Mr. Mills and pronounced them falsifications throughout. He then referred to an editorial appear- ing in a New York morning paper today. “There is intimation made in this article of some peculiar disclosures likely to come as to certain New England Senators,” pro- ceeded Mr. Frye. “The name of Fiye and Boutelle and, I think, Senators Lodge and Hawley, are used with such suggestive ab- sence and mixture of given names as to avoid a direct charge. So far as the Frye family of Maine, there is but one that I know of, and I belong to it.” Mr. Frye moved out into the middle aisle, and was directly addressing the dem- ocratic Senators. ‘‘Perhaps,” he continued, very slowly and with galling bitterness, “perhaps some democratic Senator will present a letter that I am the one who has received Hawatian bonds in consideration of my action here.” This inferential charge that some dis- closures might be made that certain Sen- ators might be shown to be In a “‘Hawalian job" were pronounced by Mr. Frye as so ridiculous that their utterance was beyond comprehension by some men. A Dramatic Event. At this point came the most dramatic event in the Senator’s speech. He read from the report of Mr. Mills’ speech, wherein the latter suggested that perhaps it would be wellto have a senatorial in- vestigation of these charges against New England and her Senators. “I had hoped the Senator who made the suggestion would be here. I wish he were in the Senate now,” said Mr. Frye, sug- gestively. Then ralsing his voice until it rang through the chamber, the Senator added: “But I now charge—in the absence of the Senator J make the charge, so he will read it in “the Record—that he con- veyed this information to the New York correspondent; that he himself is the demo- cratic Senator who has the letter.” There was intense stillness throughout the chamber as Mr. Frye’s words rang out in sharp contrast to the serenity usually prevailing. There was a sudden rush to get in at all the gallery doors to hear the unexpected outbreak. ‘he absence of this Senator prevents me from saying more,” continued Mr. Frye. “I will say the rest in his presence. I ex- rect him to say to the Senate whether he gave this information to the correspond- ents; whether he has any information as to New England Senators having Hawaiian bond interests.” Mr. Frye declared that the only indebted- ness of the Hawaiian government held out- side of Hawaii was 31,000,000 of bonds held in- England, which command 1.13 and which the people of Hawaii have tried in vain to get back so as to hold themselves. ‘This, he declared, shows beyond all question that the fire here has been kindled without the aid of a spark. Mr. Mills Sharply Questioned. Mr. Frye then returned to the personal question between himself and Mr. Mills, who had returned to the chamber, and by a series of questions and answers the two Senators succeeded in reconciling the dif- ferences between them, and the speech ended with the apparent re-establishment of good feeling. Mr. Mills denied, in reply to one of these questions, that he had given the informa- tion on which the New York newspaper's story was founded, or that he had had any such information in his possession until he saw this same story. Upon which the Maine Senator said he would withdraw the charge which he had previously made in the absence of Mr. Mills, Mr. Frye then demanded to know whether Mr. Mills was correctly reported in suggesting an investigation, in view of the charge that Mr. Frye had bought Ha- ian bonds at twenty-five cents on the dollar, and held them because he was an annexationist, for the purpose of enhancing their value, to which Mr. Mills replied: “I think I did say something of that kind, but I said it in a spirit of playfulness. I surely did not care anything about ‘t. The article making this charge was read to me, but, as I understood It, it applied to ancther Frye, and not to the Senator from Maine. I surely could not have thought of charging him with anything so sordid and mean.” RerYing to this Mr. Frye remarked that 3e had supposeg that he and Mr. Mill Bad known other long enough A KNOWN QUANTITY.

The question recurring on the resolution as amended, Mr. Teller took the floor and made a vigorous attack upon the amend- ment, which he characterized as incon- sistent and misleading. He said that the amendment was tendered the administra- tion for a policy of impartiality and in- activity, when, as a matter of fact, every one knew that in this matter of our re- lations with Hawaii the President had pursued no such policy, but had, on the contrary, interfered constantly in the in- terests of the restoration of the queen, whom he designated as Africo-Hawalian and as wicked and an imbecile. He knew, he said, that it had been dented there had been ar. effort on the part of this administration, but he contended that the facts were sufficient to substantiate the charge, and among other circumstances which he mentiqned as going to prove the statement to Mirister Willis, which were of such a nature as to have made our gov- ernment a party to revoluticn at Honolulu but for the refusal of the queen to promise not to commit murder in case of her re- storation. The fact, he added, that Minister Stevens had been extra officious—if, indeed, he had —did not justify the President in attempt- ing to undo what the people of Hawaii had done. On the contrary, it has been the policy of this government to recognize any government that could maintain itself. In view of these facts, he was not willing to put in the records of the Senate an abso- lute falsehood, “and that,” he said, “is what you do if you accept this amend- ment.” : And he added that he did not believe that all the Senators who cast their yotes for the amendment approved it in their hearts. Secretary Herbert’s Order Criticised. Mr. Teller also criticised Secretary Her- bert’s recent order in sending the Phila- delphia to Honolulu, declaring that every American citizen was entitled to the pro- tection of his government. Mr. Teller declared that these orders were in defiance of recognized elementary principles of international law. The orders were, in effect, a threat that if United States citizens demiciled in Hawali gave their adherence to the existitfg republican government they would forfeit the protec- tion of the United States. ‘After further criticising the course of the adminisiration, Mr. Teller said: “If the ad- ministration desires to go to the people again on these Hawaiian questions, they will receive a lesson compared with which the rebuke of the last election will be a mere passing shower. It will be a sorry Gay when the people get another lick at them on Hawali.” There was applause and laughter in the galleries at Mr. Teller’s earnestness, which was checked by the presiding officer. ‘The morning hour having expired, the Hawaiian question was laid aside. Unan- imous consent was given that the hank- ruptey bill should be the unfinished busi- ness until action was secured. Pensions Granted.

All such models and all models belonging to abandoned applications and applications finally disposed of, will, unless sooner re- moved, be scld, at public auction at the patent office, at 10 a.m., March 28, 1895. SOON BE NOGOLD The Balance May Be Exhausted Within a Week. NO ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ACTION Members of Congress Do Not Heed the Treasury’s Condition. AN EXPECTED BOND CALL There is a very general opinion amongst men in Congress who watch the financial matters that unless another bond issue is successfully négotiated there will be no gold in the treasury at the end of two or three weeks. One of the eastern democratic members of the banking committee ex- pressed the opinion to a representative of The Star today that the remaining $53,000,- 000 of gold would be withdrawn from the treasury within a week. The gravity of the situation leads many to conclude that Congress will be frightened into action at least to the extent of authorizing a low interest, short term bond issue. ‘he declar- ation is repeatedly made by those who as- sume to possess some financial knowledge that the Treasury Department will not be able to issue bonds on the basis upon which $100,000,000 worth have been issued. They say that if the issue can be negotiated at all it will have to be at a very much less premium than was paid on the other two issues of 5 per cent bonds, making the rate of interest higher. The effect of this would be to depreciate the bonds issued at a lower interest, and this effect upon $200,000,000 of bonds is a matter of very serious consideration. The injury to the credit of the government which would result from such a thing is an argument made to induce the opponents to a bond issue in the House to permit the issue to be made under such a condition as will render the bonds salable at an interest not greater than that borne by those which bave already been put upon the market. It is urged that as a bond issue is inevitable Congress should not stand in the way of its being negotiated on the most favorable terms. Does Not Have Much Effect. Neither the rapid depletion of the gold re- serve nor this argument appears to have much effect. Among the men who have heretofore stood in the way of legislation gratification is expressed when the asser- tion is made that the treasury will not be able to negotiate bonds under the old law. The prediction that the gold reserve of the treasury will be exhausted within two or three weeks is received by the same gen- tlemen without any expression of alarm or ecncern that there should be legislation. ‘There is no indication whatever of any change of attitude on the part of the radical silver men, and those who are counting upon the situation alarming Congress to action find little encouragement in that quarter. But little expectation is enter- tained of beneficial results from the legis- lation on the sundry civil bill, permitting the Secretary of the Treasury discretion as to the denomination of notes reissued on redemption and making gold certificates not receivable for customs dues. Some gcod may be accomplished through this legislation, it is thought, but it is too in- significant to cut much of a figure in the relieving of the present situation. Expected Bond Call. It was currently reported at the Capitol today that there would be a call for bids on five per cent bonds put out by the treas- ury on Monday, and there was also consid- erable talk of an urgent message from the President, appealing for relief. But little concern was manifested as to the anticipated bond issue, and the opinion was general that no message from the President would be productive of results. The statement is made, without any au- thority being given, except current report, that the President, under the compulsion of existing conditions, was disposed to treat more liberally with the silver men than heretofore, and that he would yield most anything short of free coinage if by so do- ing he could secure legislation which he desired. This is probably an exaggeration of the case, but there is a very firm belief that be would be willing to permit the ex- periment in connection with the legislation he desires of forcing into circulation the entire volume of silver in the treasury upon which the Sherman notes were issued. The policy of the treasury to redeem these Sherman notes in gold is fixed, and it is not believed that the administration can be driven to any other as long as they have gold or any means of getting it. But it is Suggested that the President might agree to the indirect substitution of silver dollars for these notes by failing to reissue such Sherman notes as come into the hands of the treasury. All propositions under dis- cussion, with hope of finding a solution of the problem, involve some disposition of the silver in the treasury other than that of holding it as security for the Sherman notes, while not being held under the policy of the department for the purpose of re- deeming these notes, A White House Conference. There was a financial conference at the White" House today. It started early in the day between the President and Secre- tary Carlisle, and had not progressed far before Attorney General Olney was called in to throw light on some legal questions Involved. That federal action of some kind fs imminent is further strengthened by the presence in the city of Mr. August Beimont and Mr. H. W. Cannon, who are said to have brought a proposition trom the banking interests of New York looking to an improvement of the general financial situation. There are no signs at the Treasury De- partment to indicate that another bond issue 1s imminent, and the impression is growing that it is the President's purpose to again impress upon Congress the neces- sity of prompt remedial legislation. It was rumored, this afternoon that he is engaged in the preparation of a special message, and that he will send it to Congress Mon ay. The treasury gold balance sustained a further loss of $750,000 today, and is now stated at $55,800,000, oe DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS, Citizens Appear Before the Senate Committee Today. The subcommittee on District appropria- tions in the Senate has been very busy all day listening to arguments of citizens in connection with the local budget. An effort was made by the subcommittee to conclude this part of its work before night. The charities appropriations were care- fully considered and arguments were made by the superintendent of charities, Col. Tracey, and by members of the board of children’s guardians. Acting Superintendent N. P. Gage and Supervising Principal B. T. Janney ap- peared before the committee early in the morning and urged increased appropriations for the public schools. ‘The necessity for a building for the Busi- ness High School was presented to the committee. Later in the day the commit- tee of the board of trade on the public schools, headed by Mr. George H. Harries, chairman, made additional arguments for increases in the public school allowances. The bill will probably be reported to the full committee early next week and wiil likely reach the calendar of the Senate be- for the week is out. a Two Saspicious Case: Two suspected garloloid cases were re- ported to the hgalth officer this afternoon. The patients are children of Mr. Kilgore of No. 912 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, where one child jas had the disease for about two weeks. ‘The cases are very sus- picicus, but it will require a day or two to determine whether or not the children have the disease. The patients in the hospital were re- perted as doing well this afternoon. —.—_ ; Consuls Reepgnized.

BOND ISSUE THOUGH® 10 BE INEVITABLE Europeans Liberal Seilers of Amer- ican ‘Railway Securities. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, January 26,—The discussion of the financial situation was again a monopclizing factor m speculative circles this morning, but the feelifig of apprehen- sion was a trifle less pronounced than yes- terday. The latter condition is the result of assurances that a bond issue is inevita- ble, and that the official ennouncement of the administration’s wishes in the matter will be made early next week. There is nothing but temporary relief promised by such action, and the funda- mental evil, the inadequacy of the present financial policy, remains as a basis for future legislation and a stumbling-block to prosperity. The shipments of gold to Germany by next Tuesday's steamers are now estimated as aggregating over $2,500,000, and the prospects favor a liberal continuation of the movement during ‘the week, Advices from W: on on t Subject of these shipments indicate that outward move- ment of gold is construed to be a device of the bankers to force an issue of all gold bonds and to influence next week's meet- ing of the finance committee. The preju- dice against the national banks, so pro- nounced among certain classes of legisla~ tors, is responsible for the indifference with which this subject has been received. The absurdity of this“position is now clearly demonstrated by the week's devel- opments in the local bond market. European holders of our best railroad mcrtgages have been liberal sellers of both gold and currency bonds,,on the theory that gold is likely to go to a premium, and that interest obligations may not be promptly met owing to the additional dis- bursement made necessary by such premium. This action or the part of for- eign holders is significant-and should of it- self be sufficient to force serious and im- mediate legislation on the subjects im volved. As a feature of secondary importance, National Lead was a pronounced success, the day’s trading resulting in a decline of 4 1-4 per cent. The liquidation of a large block of speculative holdings is still held out as the motive for the decline, but the real reason is reserved. The trading was conducted on the same liberal scale as that noted on Thursday, and surface indications furnish no.clue as to the probable limit of the decline. A de- cline in the preferred stock equal to one- half of the decline in the common followed from a sympathetic -selling: movement. Chicago Gas was bought by brokers usu- ally acting for the new ‘interests in the property, but no important change in price was recorded. “ was heavy on selling by room traders in anticipation of the effect of the discussion on the” House Dill. The railroad list cpened down from 1-8 to 1-2 per cent in sympathy with a lower level of values in Lonéon. Manhattan was the feature of this department, selling for both accounts resulting in a decline of 11-2 per cent. Covering operations resulted in gains 6f 1-2 per cent in Northwest and Jer- sey Central, and elsewhere prices were kept st2ady under purchases bythe same class of traders. The bank statement shows-a loss of $252,- 200 in lawful money, all in legal tenders, the Increase in specie being offse loss in legals. The remaining fe: the statement are unimportant. The gold bars withdrawn from the sub- treasury have been bonded by the banks in anticipation of a premium on that m: al prior to the time of the next interest dis- bursements. The statement in detail fol- lows: Reserve “Increased, 5, loans decreased, $164,300; specie Increased, $3,- 299,300; legals eased, $3,502,000; depos- its decreased, $2,790,300, and circulation de- creased, $91,200. ———_— = FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices cf the New York stock market today. as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
