C., Fob. 21, [Special Tele- gram to Tie Bre.]—Gold shipments and the rumors of continued demands for gold from abroad make the financial situation interest- ng. It has been expected for the past week or two that some action on the part of the administration would be necessary to pre- vent a premium on gold, but fortunately up to this time nothing has occurred to bring the situation to what might be called the danger line. as to whether the being touched upon gold would up to o premium, but no one in | charge of the financial affairs of the | government wishes to experiment with such a delicate problem.

The second man was questioned, and in like manner he gave it as his opinion that he could drive within a foot of the edgeand yet avert a catastrophe.

(Rather than come the §100,000,- 000, bonds will be issued and sold. Of course it will be understood always that the very 1ast thing the president desires to do is to increase the national debt. He has stea fastly opposed the issue of bonds for this reason, but there i iciple involved even greater than this.

Further than this, it can be stated that the incoming president is thoroughly in accord with the declared financial intentions of President Harrison. Opposition in the House. At Mr. Carli request Representative Rayner of Maryland today made a careful canvass of the house to discover the senti- ments of the majority in regard to any further attempt at repeal legisla tion and in regard to the Sherman amendment to the sundry civil bill, author- izing the secretary to issue bonds. Mr. R: mer was compelled to admit to Mr. Carlisle that any further attempt to repeal the Sher- man act would be useless, and that the oppo- sition to the Sherman amewdment for the issue of bonds was so strong that he doubted its passag Mr. Carlisle made inquiries of leaders and found Mr. Rayner's canvass verified. It is dtated on the best authority that Mr. . -Carlisle will issue bonds, even if the Sherman amendment is defeated in the house, because the Sherman bond bill amendment simply enlarges the power of the secrctary of the treasury issue bonds under the redemption act. Mr. Carlislo holds, as does Mr. [Poster, that the redemption itself confers ample authority on the secretary of the treasury to issue ‘bonds. $100,000,000 ouce g0 Heavy Defielt Another interesting feature of the financial situation which has received but little atten- tion of late is the fact that the receipts of the government will not be sufticient after the next fiscai year to meet the estimated ex- penditures. The figures submitted to con- sress are within the limit, but in view of the extraordinary increase in pensions and the great number of deficiencies now coming into sight, there is danger that is calling for all of Mr. Cleveland’s forethought. Mr. Harri son will have nothing to do with this, much to his relief. but it is the one bugbear of the incoming president. To sum the whole situation up there is the gald trouble, the silver problem and the question of a deficiency standing up boldly and badly for the anxious consideration of the president-clect. There has not been so interesting combination of delicate financial theories suggesting themselves for many years, and, as Mr. Cleveland would put it, it is o condition and not a theory that confronts him, and it is in this condi- tion where lies the possible necessity of an @arly extra session of congress. sight.

It is anticipated that the delegates upon the reassembling of the con: nce will be able to state definitel, ws of their respect- ive governments at plans are prac- ticable to secure the greater use of silver as a part of the metallic money of the world.

Opposition to the Sandry Clvil Bill, Wasiixgroy, D. C., Feb. 21.—Matters are getting into a pretty bad shape for the clos- ing days of the session. In addition to the fight that is to be made to defeat the sundry civil bill, there is going to be a hard fight made against the Indian appropriation bill. Rockwell of New York voted against this bill in committee and will be recognized to oppose it on the floor. The opposition will have strength enough to prevent the pass: of the sundry civil bill under any par mentary tactics that may be adopted to g it through. Its members say that they have no hope of getting the Sherman amend out of the bill and that they do not pro- pose to take any chances, but will defeat the whole bill. They that their plans are all laid and that filibustering against the bill will be almost as strong as aguinst sil- ver in the house. They will fight it by every means known to parliamentary procedure and they claim it will be impossible to pa it under the rule: In fact they are certa they will defeat the bill. This, of course, would make an extra session absolutely necessary. Do Not Credit the Report. WasuiNatoN, D.

ITS ENEMINES SHOW A STRONG FRONT Consideration of the Postoffice Bill Re- sumed—Speaker Crisp Decllnes to De- clde & Polnt of Order—Work of the Senate Yesterday. Wasnixerox, D. C., Feb, 21.—In the house today the hours were mostly employed in filibustering against the car coupler bill Some time was devoted to the postoffice ap- propriation bill, the debate on which was confined to the *‘special service” provision, but the car coupler was the one which met with determined opposition. Mr. Richardson led the opposition forces, and by parliamentary maneuvres prevented any action being taken on it Mr. Stump, from the committee on gration, reported the senate bill to facili the enforcement of the immigration contract labor laws, The committee resumed consideration of the vostoffice appropriation bill. The pend- ing action was one appropriation 156,641 for necessary and special facilities to trunk line ringfield, Mass., via New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Or- leans. Mr. Dickerson offered an amendment, striking out the names of the terminal points. Rejected.

The motion to refer was defeated—yea 64 nays, 184 immi- te and of ng then began, and after various | ory motions a vote was ordered on a motion to adjourn until 'Thursday. No quorum_appearing there were several attempts made to reach a compromise. The principal of these was made by Mr. Hatch He was, he said, a friend of the pending sure. He asked the speaker whether bill, pending on the spesker's table, would be in the same condition tomorrow, after an adjournment, as it was today. The speaker replied that he did not lice to answer the question without some examina tion on the subject Mr. Hatch said that he did not desire to ntagonize the bill, but he was sure that the friends of the bill (and he came to the con- clusion after a careful examination of the rules) would lose nothing if the house ad- journed now, because the bill would be laid before the body immediately after the ap- proval of the journal tomorrow. Mr. Bland—But what does the speaker say? Ir. Hatch—l am trying to get his opinion now. Mr. Wise—I say to the friends of the bill that they are not safe if they do not know what will be the decision of the chair. The gentleman from Missouri is endeavoring to persuade the friends of the bill that it to adjourn, and I say to them it i The Speaker- » chair declines to de the question before it comes up. Arose to & Poiut of Privitege, For an hour or more the house waited patiently for the return of the S 'S, but as none were brought forward by tho sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Lind enlivened the proceedings somewhat by rising to a ques- tion of privilege. “Last summer,” he began, ‘a large num- ber of gentlemen met at Chicago —" But here he was interrupted by the speaker, who stated that during a call of the house no question of privilege can be enter- tained unless it arose out of the condition of the body at this time. Mr. Lind replied that it was only the pres- ent condition of the house that impelled him to rise to a question of privilege. The Speaker—Will the the paper which he is about to read to the nd—I can state the facts. peaker (smilingly)—But the gentle- men in stating facts may violate the rules. The paper (which was the democratic platform) was not read and Mr. Lind with- drew the question of privilege. Good for All Night. At 11 p. m. there was no change in the sit- uation of the house. Both sides seem deter- mined and the prospects now are for an all night fight. The usual scenes incident to a night session were enacted. There were sev- eral amusing episodes but, taken as a whole, the session so far has been a dreary one. IN THE SENATE. 's New Senator’s Credentlals Pre- sented—Sundry Civil Bill. WasniNgron, D. C., Feb, 21.—A subject which gave rise to a rather heated discus- sion W one in reference to the expenses of the ldiers homes and that discussion drifted naturally to the question of pensions. The credentials of William V. Allen as senator from the state of Nebraska, from the 4th of March next, in place of Mr. Pad- dock, were also presented and placed on file. The consideration of the sundry civil ap- propriation bill was proceeded with, the pending amendments being in regard to the site for a new government printing ofice building. The amendments were voted down, thus killing for the present, at least, all chunce of the purchase of a site for a new building. The amendment appropriating £800,000 (additional) for the damages awarded (and costs) in the condemnation of property for the site of the custom house building in New York City was agreed to. Mr. Hawley moved to increase the appro- priation for the Soldiers National home at nta Monica, Cal., from §70,000 to $30,000. Mr. Gorman appealed to Mr. Hawley not to press the amendment. Tho pension ap- propriation contained appropriations to the amount of $165,000,000. As sure as the sun would rise on the first day of July next, there would be a deficiency of from $13,000,- 000 to $15,000,000—n0 man could tell how much, ~He therefore submitted that it was time to halt and say thav the matters of pensious should terminate at some point short of absolute-bankruptcy of the treas- Nebras| | ury.

Gorman in reply to Mr. Hawley said seemed o be a desire on the other side of the chamber to pile up the obligations of the government until the democratic party would have no escape from having to in- crease the the people.
