He has concluded to issue 5 per cent bonds redecmable in ten y IHe will sell & $30,000.000 issue of these bonds to the highest bidaers, but will accept no bid less than #1.172, which isa premium of 17 cents and 2 mills, and would make the inter- est for a period of ten years Iv3 per cent. 'I'he secretary of the treasury expects to sell the bonds at considerable less than & 8 per cent interest rate. A grent deal of interest is taken by national bankers and those who own shares in national banks in the issue. The believe, as others do, that there will shortly be another issue of these bondsand they want to know whethcr these bonas will come into competition with thosc owned by the bauks and deposited in the treasury to sccure circulation or government deposits, Opinton of the Comprrolter. Comptroller of Currency Eckels was asked by Tue Bee correspondent this afternoon whether, in his judgment, this or a subse- quent issue of these bonds would depreciate the value of the 4or 2 per cent extended bonds, “No, 1 don't believe,” said the comptroller of the currency, “‘that these bonds will come Anto competition on the mavket with the out- standing bonds or that they will depreciate in the slightest the bondsowned by national banks. It is my judgment thatthe new issues will be purchased by trust companies, vings banks, trustees estates and others desiring an immediate investment. The interest on the new issue will be bid down 80 low, and the time in which they will run being limited and fixed so short, they will not be desirable securities for national bank circulation or deposits.” An offer has been reccived from one per- son to take all the bonds issued, but the sec- retary prefers that the general public have an opportunity to bid for thiem. Oficially Advortised. Secretary Carlisle late tonight issued the following circular, inviting proposals for 5 per cent bonds: “TrEASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF SEC- RETALY, WASHINGTON, Jan, 17, 1894, — By vir- tue of the anthority contained in the act cn- titled ‘An Act_to Provide for the Resump- tion of Specie Payments,' approved January 14, 1875, the secretary of the treasury hereby offers for public ‘subscription an issue of bords of the United States to the amount of $50,000,000, in either registered or coupon form, in denominations of §0 and upwards, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government after ten years from tne date of sheir issue and bearing interest payablo quarterly in coin ai the rate of b per cent per annumy “Proposals for the whole or any part of these bands will be received at the Treasury department oftice of the treasurer until 12 o'clock noon, on the lstday of February, 1804.

In case the bids for the allotment exceed the bonds to be issued, they will be alloted pro rata. Notice of the date of the delivery of the bonds will bo sent to the subscribers to whom allotments are made as soon as practicable, and within ten days from the date of such notice subscriptions must be paid in United States gold coin to the treas- urer or such assistant of the United States as the subscriber has designated and if not 80 paid the proposal may bo rejected. “The bonds will be dated February 1, 1804, and when payment is made therefore, as ubove, accrued interest on both prineipal and premium from February 1, 1804, to date of payment at the rate of interest realized to the suvseriber ou his investment will be atided. “All proposals should be addressed to the socretary of the treasury, Washington, D. ., and should be distinc'ly marked ‘Pro- wosals for Subscrivtions to b Per Cent onds."

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The appoiatment of Representative Do Avmond, democrat, of who was today designated by sp to take the place of J. R. Fel- lows on the judiciary committee, was deter- mined on before the point was issued. Yet Mr. Do Armond shared the views of Chaiv- man Culberson and other democratio mem- bers on the commitieo against the legality of the use of tho proceeds of a sale of bonds, except for redemption of debts.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCE Means Committes Defeated on the Date for Free Wool, WasmiNetoy, Jan, 17.—The ways means committee suffered its firsy de toduy, whon, by a vote of 112 to 102, the com- mittee of tha whole rejected Mr. Wilson's nendment fixing the date on which free wool should go into effect on August 1, 1504, and adopted the substiute of Mr. Johnson. the Ohio free trader and singie taxer, mak- ing it go into effect immediately upon the passuge of the bill. Many of the republicans voted with the radical “democrats for the substitute. It was Mr. Wilson's intention, had his mo- tion prevailed, to have offered an amend- ment, making the woolen scale go 10to effect December 1, 1804, but when the committee overruled lim he decided to let the latter sehedule stand and go into effect with the vest of the bill i June, 1804, Just before the vote was taken Mr. Wilson stated the Jobbers were now hesitating whether to pluce their orders for fall goods here or abroad, and if the committee amendment carried the home manufacturers would make uext full's goods. Only oneother amendment was acted on today, to allow the free entry in bond of ma- well as the materials used in the construction of ships built fgr foreign uc count. The rest of the day was spent dis- cussing the amendment of Mr. Burrows, to substitute the present wool schedule for that proposed by the Wilson bill. At 5:30 the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. At the night session Mr. Sperry, demo- crat, of Connecticut made . vicious assault on the Wilson bill on the ground that in the fact of a_cer deficit in the treasury of 70,000,000 by June next, in the fact of the appeal of the secretary of the treasury for a bond issne, the democratic ways and means committee has brought in a bill, ostensi- bly to raise revenues. which, if passed would increase the present estimated deficit 1t was a freo trade bill, and if the isst ween free trade and protec- tion were ever presented to the people of the country the verdict would be overwhelm- ingly in favor of protection.

AR bll.'\’l"l'lul‘ Prospects for a Favorable Chiness Commer- cial Treaty Aro Not Bright. WASHINGTON, Jun. 17.—There is reason to believe that yang Yiu, the Chinese envoy in Washington, 18 not malking much progress toward securing the new treaty which was to take the place of the one cousidered null fied by the Geary law. Upon his first ar- rival here it was hoped that the -United States was about to be offered opportunities for valuable extensions of our trade privileges in Chinn. Expectation of this seems to huve been based o inferences drawn from the Chincse envoy’s talk. His ideas of the im- migration question. reflecting aceurately, it 18 supposed, those of hisown government, were 80 entireiy in accord with those of our own beople that it was believed this trouble- some question would ot prove an obstruc- tion Lo an agreement. The compulsory photograph clause of the Geary law is tho stumbling block. 1o com- pel o Chinaman to be_photograplied he con- sidors an indignity. 1t1s said to ve tho bo- nef of the Chinese onvoy that this require- ment was insarted with inteat to affrout the Chinese rosidents of this country. He con- siders that his sovereign is affronted s the same degree. This lay prove an insur- mountuble obstacle to the agreement for a treaty from which a few weeks ago much was hoped for the good of our trade privi- leges in the rich Oriental empire. J. 8oty Harrlson Lejected, WasuiNgron, Jan. 17.—The senate in ex- ecutive session today rejected the nomina- tion of J.

OMAHA, THU SWINBURNE TELLS HIS TALE Lientenant Commander of the Boston Before the Hawaiian Committee, HAD CONMAND OF THE MARINES ON SHORE Detulls the Events After the Landing of Troops Up to the Time of tho Sur- render of the Station House to Dole. Wasnixaroy, Jan., 17.—Licutenant Com- mander Swinburne of the Boston was the only witness before the senate subcommit- tee investigating the Hawatian question to- day. He is the officer who had active com- mand of the American troops on shore in Honolulu at the time of the revolution and his testimony is considered important as it bears upon some points which have been in dispute and to which much im- portance is attached, He was questioned concerning the time of landing, the location of the troops in Arion hall and the time of the surrender of the station house. He was also asked to explain how the troops chanced to be located at Arison hall and was reminded of the charge made by Mr. Blount and the friends of the queen that, of all places, this was the one best caleulated to serve the interest of the provisional government, being located just ACT0SS 4 uArTow street from the government builaing, where they would prove a menace to the qucen’s forces. It is understood that Mr, Swinburno ad- mitted a more unfortunate selection could not have been made, and thathesaid he had, previous to the landing, advised that some other place be chosen. In tha main, however, his testimony corporated the state- ments of Minister Stévens and the officers of the provisional government. He con- tended that there had not becn a conspiracy involving the naval force. Mr. Swinburne was reminded of the dis- crepuncies in shis statements concerning the time of the surrender of the station house. He said that occurred two or three hours after the landing of the Boston troops, or avout 7:30 p. m. Commander Swinburne, who is in poor health, was excus arly with the under- standing th mony another day. NO HOPE Congress Will Not Listen to the Dusky reh's Plea, Wasni Jan, 17—~Tha rumor that the Hawatian ex-queen will present a claim for damages to the United States government continues to be discussed, although it is pretty generally discredited. No such claim has been presented. The' leaders of the house say that a claim of this kind could never be sustained. Judge Holman says ss would not listen to such a proposi- tion for a moment. The claim coud not be based on the idea that President Cleveland and Sccretary Gresham had admitted that the queen’s overthrow was due to the course of Minister Stevens aund the landing of United States marines, for such admissions cover admissions of fuct and would not be considering as binding on cougress when it came to a claim for damages. Represcntative Warner of the foreign af fairs committee says that tue talk of a claim by the queen 1s preposterous. There would be no legal warrant for setting up a claim against this country for such action as it saw fit to take regurdiog a rvevolution in another country. He cites the action of the United States in the various South Ameri can revolutions as showing that the govern- ment's action in an international compl tion cannot be made the basis of a claim. Representavive Hitt, leader of the foreign committee, thut the talk of the claim by the queen is more of a joke thana realit He thinks, however, that her claim for dam- ages is capable of exact caloulation from the propositions submitted some mouths ago by the queen’s representative, Paul Newman. The latter desired a pension of $50.000 ana the rental of certain crown lands, all of which was to pe onsideration of the queen’s peaceful abdication of her rights. Representative Boutelle, who has led the republican assault in the house on the Lia- walian policy, suys thas if congress sustains President Cieveland in the policy thus far pursued the necessary sequel will be the authovization of a substantial payment to recompense the queen for the faillure to re- store her. Should Have Settled It, WASHINGTON, Jan, 17.—Senator Allison of Towa, a member of the finance committee, in speaking of the present financial dif- ficulties, says it would have teen the best policy to have adopted the provision which was made & part of the appropriation bill last February, and then the dificulty under which the treasury now labors would have been avoided. Referring to the statement of Senator Voorhees yesterday, he said it was not the statement of the committee, yet it was the understanding that it might represent the ideas of a majority of the committee, and might also mean that nd action would be taken by 1t a% present. “It 18 conceded,” said he, ‘‘that the dis- cussion in the senate would take six weeks, and that tne secretary would have to issue bonds anyway. The secretary did not come to us (meaning the finance committee) until after the house had been buttoned up for a month by the tariff bill, and could take no action. What ought to have been done was to tuke up the bond question before the tariff, and settled that which was most pressing.” Showing of Ponsion Examiners. WAsHINGTON, Jan, 17.—A statement has been prepaved at the pension oftice showing the number of special examiners of the bureau now in the field from each state as follows: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 2; Con- necticut, 2; California, 4; Colorado, 1; Dis- triet of Columbia, 8; Gedrgia, 63 Indiana, 18; Towa, 6; Illinois, 18; Kansas, 7; Kentucky, 9; Louisiana, 3; Massachusetts, 1; Maine, 4: Michigan, 113 Maryland, 2; Minnesota, 1; Missouri, 106; Mississippi, 0; North Carolina, 7; New Jersey, b; Nebraska, 3; New York 813 Obio, 15: Ovegon, 1; Pennsylvania, 1 South Caroling, 4; Teunessce, U3 West Vir- ginia, 4; Texas, 9; Virginia, 11; Wushington, 1; Wisconsin, %; Vermont, 2; Rhode Island, 1; Oklahoma, 1. Advanco the Barley R WasHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The democratic members of the ways and means committee have decided upon an important amendment to the pending tarift bill. It covers the item of barley, but its effect extends to the extonsive manufacture of beer and various other products. The rate alveady prepared in the Wilson bill 1s 20 per cent ad valoren. Mr, Whiting proposed that this scale bo advanced to 30 per cent, and fter much diseussion the amendment’ was od to. The change is said to be of special interest to the beer industry of the west, which uses American barley, and against tho eustern beer industry, which draws its supply of barley from Canada. wii WASHINGTON Jan [Special to Tus Beg.]—The following pensions granted ure announced.

Both Sides of the Brazilian Revolution Are Now Pushing \Mintters, New York, Jan. 18.—The Hernld's dis- paten from Montevideo says: The owners of merchant vessels anchored in the harbor of Montevideo have requested that the Bra- zilian man-of-war leave her present anchor- age, as she carries a great quantity plosive material and they regard her pres- ence so near as dangerous. 1t is doubted here if Mello will be able to muster suficient men to warrant nim in making a landing angwhere near Rio. A correspondent in that city sends word that the Aquidaban is expected to leave the harbor soon in scarch of soldiers. Peixoto in the meantime continues sending troops to Nictheroy, as he evidently expects the rebels to attack it in force before long, Marshal Conrado Memyar and General Argolio have both gone to Nictheroy to tuke command, and it is estimated that the num- ber of Peixoto’s troops exceeds 5,000 men The rebels in launches and the Cobras island garrison maintain their fire upon the city of Rio duy and night with rapid-fiving guns, killing and wounditg inoffensive persons. This has aroused much ill feeling among sven friends of the rebels, who protest aguinst the wanton destruction of life. Continuous attackd have been made for the last two days by the fleet upon the land- ing places of the Nictheroy, but the govern- ment gunners answer promptiy. 1t is ru- mored that there ist a split in the rebels’ council, and that Mellé is not in accord with da Gama, A Herald special from La Libertad, Salva- dor, says: President Vasquez of Hondur has made an attack on Choluteca, which ‘s held by a garrison of the Nicaraguan in- vaders, General Ortez's troops have left Nacome, the seat of Bonilla's provincial gov- ernment, and are endéavoring to surround Vasquez The United States warship Ranger is now at Amapala.
