' ESTIMATES A NICE SURPLUS Treasury Department Takes a Rosy View of the Country's Revenues, C/RLISLE ANSWERS A SENATE INQUI Announces that Instead of w Deflcit 1805 Wili Show @ Credit Balance in the Treasary of Over Twenty- Two Millions. WASIHINGTON, Feb. 1 mubmitted a letter of information to the senate today, which dissipates the gloory forebodings as to a lack of revenue to carry on the government. It is In response to a resolution of inquiry adopted this week. The letter Is as follows “In reply to senate resolution 28, 1895, that the secretary of be directed to Inform the senate what Is the estimated deficlency in the revenues of the government to pay current expenses be- tween the 31st day of December, 1804, and the 31st day of December, 1895, and if the $163,337,579.99 cash balance in the treasury on the 31st day of December, 1804, will be sufficient to meet such dofich 1 have the honor to state that from estimates made upon the basis of laws now in force it is believed for the twelve months ending December 31, 1895, the revenues of the government from all sources will exceed ordinary expenditures by 22,663,023, Respectfully, J. G. CARLISLE, Secretary. The reading of the letter was closely fol- lowed by the senators. Mr. McPherson, democrat of New went fo the clerk's desk to personally in spect it. Then Mr. Aldrich, republican of Rhode Islagd, sent for it and a group of re- publican senators gathered about him and read it over his shoulder. Mr. Gorman smiled sjgnificantly at the secretary’s dir. and positive estimate of the ampleness of the revenues. Mr. Vilas, the judiciary the bill retir from the U and asked measure. Mr. Aldrich, still lisle's letter, suggested that some other things would prevent the full consideration of this measure and it accordingly went over Mr. Davis of Minnesota presented the cre- dentials of Knute Nelson, elected a senator from that state for six years, beginning March 4 next. The house bill to establish a national mil- ftary park at Gettysburg, Pa., was passed A resolution was agreed to calling on the Interstate Commerce Commission to furnish information as to contracts between the Ca- nadian Pacific Railroad company and Amer- fean lines, by which the former refrained from competing in freight and passenger traffic in certain localities, The house bill was passed to regulate com- merce on the great lakes and connecting waters as to lights, signals, etc., to extend the International code already established The senato then resumed consideration of the DistMet of Columbla appropriation bill, and at 6:05 adjourned.

Another Exelting Scene on the Floor of the Houso of Reprosentatives. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—During a hot col- loquy over the adoption of an order to con- sider the currency bill, Mr. Hall, democrat of Missouri, denounced a statement of Mr. Hatch, democrat of Missouri, as absolutely false. Mr. Hatch deflantly declared that Mr. Hall would not use such language to him oft the floor. Great confusion followed, and the speaker was obliged to call the sergeant-at- arms to enforce order. The omnibus war claims bill was consid- ered when the house met. Some routine business preceded the presentation of the special order. The conference reports on the fortifications and army appropriation bill were adopted. Bills were passed to authorize the Kansas & Northwestern Raidroad company to con- struct a railroad across the Indian’ territory; to authorize the governor of Alaska to create precinets and appoint justices of the peace, Mr. Catchings, from the commiitee on rules, then Introduced a special order for the consideration of the omnibus war claims bill. It gave the day to the consideration of the bill, with provisions for a vote at 4 o'clock. Under its terms any Items in the bill not for stores and supplies favorably reported from the committee should be subject to a point of order. . Mr. Mahon, republican of Pennsylvania, re- quested the right of the committee on rules to bring In such a rule. Mr. Beltzhoover, democrat of Pennsylvania, made an Indignant speech protesting against the rule. He characterized this as an at- tempt of the rules committee to ride rough- shod over a decided majority of the war claims committee. He appealed to the speaker not to hold that such a report was in order. CATCHINGS DEFENDS THE BILL. Mr. Catchings, in reply, warmly declared that every item in the bill had been found due by the court of clams and had been favorably reported from the committee on war claims. The omnibus bill, to which Mr. Beltzhoover had referred, on the other hand, had contained a claim of $1,000,000 by citizens of Pennsylvania which had never been favorably acted upon by the court of clalms. Addressing himself to the merits of the bill Mr. Catchings said that only $12,000,- 000 had been appropriated for war claims, despite the public impression that the sum ‘was much larger. After some further debate on the point of order in the course of which Mr. Herman, republican of Oregon, protested against the method of leglslation proposed by this order, as a usurpation of power by the committe on rules, the speaker overruled the point of order. Mr. Catchings then demanded the previous question. On a rising vote it was ordered, 97 to 73, but Mr. Mahon, republican of Pennsylvania, made sthe point of no quorum and Mr. Catclings demanding the yeas and nays, the roll was called. Tho previons question was ordered, 12§ to 95, Under the rules fifteen minutes was then lowed on a side for debate. Mr. Dockery of Missouri was very earnest in his opposition to the bill, which, he sald, carried $718,603, lstributed’ as follows: Alabama Arkansas Georgia .. Kansas Kentucky Toulsianiy 000 Maryland A 46,000 Misslssippl 257,000 Missou 19,000 New 00) Penunsylvania 21,000 Tennessee 1721000 Virginia ... 40,000 West Virgin 14,000 District of ¢ 11000 North Carolina 80) NS ....r 3 500 The bill carrying these claims fntroduced by Mr. Catchings. He agreed with Mr. Roed that the French spoilation claims were more meritorious than these, because they bad the actual judgment of a court Mr. Sayers, chairman of the appropriation committee, also took a decided stand against the adoption of the order and the passage of this bill. Mr. German of Oregon advo- cated the adoption of the order. After some further debate Mr. Reed closed for the opposition, contending that all classes of claims reported from the court of claims hould be treated alike and an appropriation should be made if the condition of the treas- ury warrauted it, to be applied on all. In stead, this bill proposed, after a debate of an hour, to pay clalms of & certain’ class for a certaln section only, He submitted that this was unjust, Mr. Catchings, ip reply, deprecated tho of sectionallsm. These claims for stores taken from loyal citizens during the war came naturally from the south because the south was the theater of the war. This ery might as well have been raised against the payment of the Indian depredation clalms. They, too, came from a section. The claims had all heen found to be just and dvue by the court of claims. The vote on the adoption of the order was then taken. The result of the roll call was 95 1o 148, which defeated the adoption of the rule by a large majority and showed & pronounced reversal of sentiment since the vote on the provious question. Mr. Outhwalte of Olio presented a special EREEEEEs $ 25,000 19,000 25,000 10 0 000 ory order from the committee on rules for the consideration of the new currency bill. The rule gave tomorrow and Wednesday until 3 o'clock for general debate and thereafter un- 111 8:30 p. m. Thursday, when the vote should be taken for the consideration of the bill under the five-minute rule. WARM WORDS WERE BXCHANGED Mr. Outhwaite's assertion the rule was satis- factory te all factions in the house aroused the ire of Mr. Hatch of Missourl, who in- dignately declared it represented only the banking and currency committee and that committee represented only the banks Mr. Hall of Missouri resented this state- ment, denouncing it as “absolutely false. “If the gentleman does not know that," he shouted, “he knows nothing about the committee.'" Mr. Hatch grew exceedingly wrathy at Mr. Hall's remarks. He agreed to withdraw what he had said if the gentleman would cite to him a single bill reported by tbe com- mittee on banking and currency in the in- terests of the people. “I will say,"” he added deflantly turning to Mr. Hall, “the gentle- man's language s _not such as he would dare to use to me off the floor of the house." Instantly the house was in great confusion and the members crowded about, expecting a possible repetition of the row of Friday last, but the speaker ordered the sergeant- at-arms to sec that the gentlemen were seated. The incident went no further, as Mr. Outhwaite demanded the previous ques- tion, which was ordered The rule was adopted, 135 to 28, after which the house went into the committee of the whole and took up the agricultural il Mr. Hainer of Nebraska offered an amend- ment to assess half the cost of inspecting meat for export on the owners of the meat inspected. Mr. Hateh made a point of order against it and the amendment was passed over. Mr. Hainer declared no hetter friend of real, genuine agriculture existed than Secre- tary Morton. *I say that,” he said, “even if he is a democrat.” The bill was then passed and the Hawailan correspondence was laid before the honse. Tuesday, February 26, was set aside for culogies of the life of the late Representative Post of Hlinols. At 30 the o'clock tomorrow, house adjourned until 11 MORE HAWALIAN CORR PONDENC Secretary Gresham Sends Another Batch to the tlouse. 3 WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—In the Hawaiian correspondence submitted to the house to- day Secretary Gresham states that the de- partment has no information in regard to arms having been furnished by British sub- Jects to persons in rebellion against the government of the Hawailan islands, but in a telegram from the United States minister at Honolulu January 11, forwarded by way of San Francisco, Mr. Willis says: “Arms re- ported to have been brought from Van- couver by Norma.” The department has no information in regard to any intervention by representatives of Great Britain to prevent the application of martial law by the Hawalian government to those concerned in the recent rebellion who claim to be British subjects or of any foreign representa- tive whatever in the case, other than a state- ment contained in a note of the Hawalian minister of January 20, that the British com- missioner at Honolulu, Mr. Hawes, has called upon the government to give him assurances that no capital punishment will be inflicted upon the insurrectionists, there being fifteen Englishmen under arrest, which requested assurance the government las refused to glve. Under date of Honolulu, November 10, Minister Willis transmitted to Secretary Gresham the following note of the same date from Minister Hatch, the Hawalian minister of foreign affairs, adding that when he re- ceived it he had telegraphed the secretary the facts briefly: ““Department of Forelgn Affairs, Honolulu, November 10.—Sir: Information has just been received at this ofice tending to show that a filibustering expedition against this government is being fitted out in San Fran- co and that one of the following steam els, the Rosalie or the Alexandria, will be used for the purpose. The information points more strongly to the latter. I desire to ask the good offices of the government to prevent the shipment of arms on these vessels for such purposes. “F. M. HATCH." On the 9th fnstant the Hawailan charge daffaires called at the department on my invitation, and in reply to an Inquiry said he had no information that arms had been or were to be shipped from San Francisco for use against the government of Hawail, ¥ol- lowing this correspondence with Mr. Willis there was an exchange of notes between Secretary Gresham and Mr. Thursten, the minister here, which is interesting mainly because of the Insinuation by the latter that the presence of an American warship at Honolulu would be acceptable. Mr. Thurston wrote January 20: “Sir—I have the honor to inform you that I have recelved from my government teleg- raphic comunications stating that the n- surrection of Honolulu was broken; that several of the leaders and their remaining fol- lowers were fugitives in the mountains; that the British commissioner at Honolulu, Mr. Hawes, has called upon the governor of Hawall to give him assurances that no capital punishment will be inflicted upon the Insur- rectionists, there being fifteen Englishmen under arrest, which requested assurance the government has refused to give. The subject of the presence of an American man-of-war at Honolulu has been recently the subject of discussion in the press and elsewhere, It does not lie within my province to suggest any course of actlon on the part of the United States concerning such subjects. I feel, however, that it Is due to your govern- ment and to the large American population and property interests in Hawall to state that although the government of Hawali fs, and will continue in the future as it has been In the past, fully able to maintain itself agajnst the attacks of all domestic enemies. In vlew of the serious nature of the charges now pending against a large number of both foreigners and and natives and of other com- plicated conditions, the state of affairs at the ‘islands is critical; as in the event of further insurrection or complication, although the government will use every endeavor to protect foreign citizens and their property, it Is not impossible that sudden contingencies may arise or isolated acts of violence take place, against which the government with its police and military force may temporarily be unable to afford protection. In his reply Secretary Gresham, January 20, said: “On receipt of a dispatch from Mr. Willis yesterday morning on the subject of the uprising which was immediately given to the press, a warship was at once ordered to proceed from San Franeisco to Honolulu to afford needed protection to any Americans entitled to it. That fact was also announced by the press Saturday and this morning and I naturally supposed that the announcement had attracted your notice.” « Mail Servico Extended. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Superintendent White, of the rail- way mall service, has ordered that a mall pouch from Omaha shall hereafter be sent from Sheridan, Wyo., to Billings, Mont., by the Burlinglon route, instead of through St. Paul by the Northern Pacific road, as heretofore. Under this system twenty-three hours will be saved to the business interests of the city of Omaha. A petition has been received by the Ne- braska congressional delegation from the officers of the North Platte National bank, ucsting af extension of time in Which 0 straighien up affairs with o view of reopen- ing. The petitioncers stute that If they are allowed adaitional time, they can resume business, and. at the same time, protect thelr ndividual interests.

P S 'THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1895 NAY BE ANOTHER BOND ISSUE Report that Foreign Houses Will Take the New Loan, TREASURY AUTHORITIES ARE RETICENT Borean of Engraving and Printing Rumored to Be Engaged In Printing the New Issue Amounting to §100,000,000 ~Gold Will Come from Abroad. WASHINGTON, Feb, 4.—So far as can be learned there has been no change in the bond situation. All of the officers are extremely reticent on the subject and decline to either affirm or deny any of the rumors brought to their attention, One rumor which had an apparently good basis was that the bonds for the new issue were already being printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, but like the others it could not be confirmed. The concensus of opinion is that a bond issue to forelgn purchasers, directly or indirectly, will be made very soon, and that all ar- rangements to this end are substantially com- plete. The amount wirich the administra- tion contemplates issuing and may give no- tice of at any time now is $100,000,000, to run thirty years. Arrangements, it is b lieved, have been practically concluded, suring the government that these bonds will bo paid for with forelgn gold. ANNOUNCED IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—The Press tomorrow will say: On rellable authority the Press is able to announce that the new bond issue will be taken up by a syndicate composed of American and forelgn bankers. The issue will be at least $100,000,000 of the United States government 4 per cents, and may be more. The delay is understood to be due to the exact figures at which they will be sold The men who will underwrite the new is according to the best information of Wa street, are the Rothschilds, represented here by August Belmont, J. Pierrepont Morgan and several prominent local financiers who are the heads of big moneyed institutions in the city. veral important factors have contributed to bring the local financlers into the deal. In the first place neither the Morgans mor the Belmonts have much gold here and hence would have to draw on the banks so that the latter would have to figuro In the transaction in that way. In the next place the Rothschilds, so it is stated, are just as anxious to have the local mone men in the deal as the latter-are anxlous be in themselve: Assistant Treasurer Jordan in discussing the situation had this to s “1 do not ex- pect Mr. Curtis will find it necessary to come to New York again. Judging from the in- quiries we have recelved, I think there would be plenty of demand for the bonds when once they are ready to be issued.” The general conviction is that the loan will be announced in a very short time. The Press also learned from trustworthy sources there will be an opportunity given to the public to make a bid on the new bonds. In- side advices are that the local financiers will take about $50,000,000 of the new loan and the remainder will'go to foreign houses. REED'S FINANCE BILL, Only Intended as a Temporary Measuro to Tide Over Present Difficultios. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Calculations of the supporters and opponents of the new ad- ministration financial bill were upset today by the interjection of a nmew factor into the campalgn. Mr. Reed of Maine, the repub- lican leader, brought forward a new plan for which he is endeavoring to enlist the entire strength of his party, and which he will offer as a substitute for the administra- tion scheme if he thinks his plan can com- mand sufficient support to make it a factor in the fight. Therc are but two scctions to the Reed plan in the form in which he has submitted it to his colleagues. The first proposes to restrict the law of 1875, which authorizes tho secretary of the treasury to issue bonds to redeem the greenbacks to 3 per cent bonds. The second section author- izes the secretary of the treasury when there is a deficit to Issue certificates of indebt- cdness to pay current expenses, the certifi- cates to be in sums of $25, $50 and $100, and any multiples thereof, bearing Interest at 8 per cent and payable in coin. The bill, as Mr. Reed explained to the republicans whose support he sought, Is but a temporary ex- pedient to tide over the present distress. The substitution of “coin” for the gold provisions of the administration plan is expected to win for it the toleration, if not the support, of the freo silver men, who bitterly oppose all propo- sitions to discriminate by stipulation in any bl in favor of gold. Its comparative sim- plicity, it Is expected, will commend the bill to the house in preference to more complex plaps. Mr. Reed devoted himselt assiduously throughout the day to cloak room consulta- tions with the republicans, He first en- deavored to elicit the opinions of the gold men and then tackled the silver men. The meas- ure of his success is difficult to estimate. The plan‘is to offer the bill as a substitute for the administration bill, and by polling the solid republican vote, while the democrats are divided on the administration bill, make it the most formidable proposition in the fleld, and perhaps induce the democratic opponents of the administration bill to rally to its sup- port. Chairman Springer and his colleagues have counted on most of the republican votes for the administration bill, and have prophesied it would poll about the same support that was given to the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Accordingly Mr. Reed’s move has upset their calculations to a great extent, FREE SILVER SENATORS ACTIVE, Hope to Get a Measure Favorably Reported from the Finance Committee. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Interest in the financial question about the senate centered in the actlvity of the silver senators and the frequent consultations held by them. This, taken in connection with the call issued by Senator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, for a meeting of the committee tomorrow, led to the general supposition that an attempt would be made by the silyer advocates on the committee to secure the reporting of a free silver bill. Inquiry among the members of the committee failed to de- velop any absolute assurance that the effort would be made, but enough was said in many quarters to indicate that the general suppo- sition was not without good foundation and to justify the statement that the silver men are very hopeful of bringing a free coinag bill out of the committee,if not at tomorrow meeting, at the next one to be held. They clieve Senator Jones of Nevada will unite with Senators Voorhees, Harris, Vest, Jones of Arkansas, and White in support of some measure that will be satisfactory to the silver men, . Hoke Smith Opposes the Bill, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Secretary Smith has made an adverse report on House BIll 7791 for the benefit of settlers on pub- lic lands lying In semi-arid sections. The ob- ject of the bill is to allow certain settlers in Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas and Okla- homa to make final proofs on their home- steads and timber claims at the end of two years of continuous settlement and improve- ments, instead of five years as now In vogue, A large number of these settlers have been obliged to leave their homes temporarily to support their familles because of long con- tinued drouth, and Secretary Smith udvises against legislation in view of the act author- izing local officers to grant leave of absance to settlers on public lands, who through total or partial destruction or failure of crops or other unfavorable casualty are unable to maintain support for themselves and family on the land settled on. Neutral Report on the Sugar Hounty Bill WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Senator Mitchell ot Oregon of the subcommittee on claims, which considered the bill for paying sugar bounties for last year, today reported the bill without recommendation to the full com- mitiee for such action @s it thinks proper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—With but four weeks of the session of congress remaining from noon today, a glance at the condition of the regular annual appropriation bills is in- teresting. A comparison with the condition prevailing at the same time in the short ses- sion of the Fifty-second congress is much favorable to the present congress and justifies the belief that unless unforescen difficulties arise all the bills will have been presented to the president for his approval before 12 o'clock on March 4. A difficulty that has been sug- gested to the successful consummation of such a program is in the possible tacking on to one of the bills a provision embodying some financlal legislation, in the event of the failure of the enactment cf another measure. The contest over such a step might delay ac- tion on the bill so that it would nit reach the president in time, All the appropriation bills have been com- pleted by the committec having them in charge except the general deficiency bill, the preparation of which is always deferred, so as to include, if desirable, all the estimates that may be submitted to congress by the ex- ccutlve departments of the government, up to the latest date it is safe to wait. The legis- lative bill, although prepared, has mot yet been formally passed upon by the appropria- tions committee, but tnis will be done today and the measure will be reported. The mili- tary academy is the only one of the regular annual appropriation bills which has the excoutive's approval, but the conference re- port on the army bill has been agreed to by both branches of congress and this will soon be sent to the president. The fcrtifications and pensions bills are in the hands of con- ference committees, the diplomatic bill and the District of Columbia bill are pending in the senate, having been reported from the senate committee having them in charge, while the Indian, the postofiice and the sundry civil bills have passed the house and are now under consideration by the senate committee on appropriations. But two—the agricultural and the naval bills—are now on the house calendar. The former will be passéd without much discussion, while the latter, on the other hand, will be debated thoroughly and the recommendations of the commlttee favor- ing the construction of three battleships, cost- ing approximately $4,000,000 each, wiil un- doubtedly be antagonized by those members who think such additional demands ought not | to be made on the national treasury. ESTIMATECONSIDERED CONSERVATIVE Try Oficials = Confident Figures,Aro Accurate, WASHINGTON, Feb, 4.—Treasury officials generally express the opinion that Secretary Carlisle’s estimate of a, surplus of $22,500,000 for the calendar year 1895 Is conservative. It is urged that the cusoms duties on sugar alone should bring in at least $35,000,000 dur- ingdhe next eleven months, and that the reve- nue from the income tax is likely to reach $40,000,000, The receipts from general cus- toms and from whisky withdrawals are ex- pected to materially increase from now on, which, it is believed, will bring the receipts for the twelve months ‘up to about $350,500,- 000 The disbursements for the year, it is thought, will not excged $351,000,000. Leaving a surplus, after deducting the $7,000,000 de- ficit of January, of §22/500,000. The internal revenue officlals, in figuriog on the recelpts from the income tax, fntimate that the re- turns prior to July 1 will amount to $10,000,- 000 and for the remaining s'x months $30,- 000,000, ury Carlisle's Leaves for Army OMcers, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Colonel Caleb H.

Sugur Witness Chapman Told fle Must Walt for the Court's Decison, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The supreme court of the United States today denied fhe application of Elverton R. Chapman, the re- calcitrant witness in the senate Sugar trust investigation of last summer, for a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that it was not competent for the supreme court to interfere in the matwer until after the case should have been finally disposed of by the district court. Chief Justica Fuller, who delivered the decision, said that after the final decision of the case, If that decision should be against him, it would be competent for Chapman to apply for a writ of error to the United States court, and in case that it could not be granted then to apply for habeas corpus, but he thought the ends of justice would be better subserved it there should be no interference at this time. Chief Justice Fuller said the court had been unable to see that Mr. Chapman's case presented any exceptional circumstances, as he had set up in his petition. The application for a writ of habeas corpus was also denied in the case of Justice Shriver on the same grounds, the court remarking that it was essentially similar to this case, Justice Field dissented from the opinion. The supreme court, in the case of Clyde Mattox, appealed from the cirtuit court of Kansas, today decided that in cases where a witness had died between a first and second trial his testimony cannot be impeached by the introduction of witnesses to prove that after giving his testimony he had stated that he had sworn to what was not true. The declsion recognized the fact that injustice was liable to be done the defendant in such a case, but said that If the opposite course should be pursued and the testimony of im- peaching witnesses admitted, there were equal chances of injustice to the prosecution. The court therefore refused to issue a writ of error on this complaint, because on the second trial of Mattox the stenographer's notes of the testimony in the first trial were used so the defendant could not be confronted by the witnesses against him, laying down the general proposition that the constitution did not entitle a man tried for crime to de- mand to be confronted by his witnesses more than once. Justices Shiras, Gray and White dissented on the first part, holding It was competent to impeach the testimony of a deceased witness All Serene at the Treasury Department, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—A spirit of seren- ity pervaded the Treasury department to- day that was quite in contrast with the anxious looks and hurried movements of the officials last week. Secretary Carlisle was in his office and saw all comers, which he has been unable to do for some time past. In answer to all Inquiries, Mr. Car- isle stated that he had nothing to say on the financial situation. Assistant Secretary Curtis, who has returned from New York, was als) in his office and acc ible to all callers, He, how Vir, would not say wh ther or not his ‘mission in New York had been Successful. So far as can be learned, no steps have been taken to prepare plates for another bond issue.

Streot Car Faves for Pupils, At the meeting of the Board of Education last night the members were pugnaciously in- clined, and, as a consequence, almost every matter that came up found some opposers. A resolution that the proposed amendment to the school laws, now pending in the legisii- ture, whereby school warrants issued in school districts of metropolitan cities nay draw interest be not approved by the board., which was Introduced by Tukey, winded sev- eral members before it was finally disposed of. Tukey stated that under the amendment warrants could be issucd by school districts when there was no money in the treasury, which warrants would draw interest at the rat2 of 6 per cent. He held that it was sim~ ply a mcthod of borrowing money and was afraid that it might be abused by futuro boards. He furthermore claimed that such warrants would be illegal if they were issued bofore the tax levy. He argued further that if the warrants drew interest it would be im- poseible to tell when they. would come back. Other members held that such warrants would not be il'egal and that the bosrd shoull be given the right to issue them if the city and county had that right. They were of the opinion that the bost method of tiding over the deficit would be by issulng such war- rants, and could seo no other way, On mo- tion of Burgess the resolution was amended to the effect that tho board was in favor of the bill, and as amended It was passed by a vote of seven (o six, Superintendent Marble recommended that as the schools would close a month earlier than usual, he bo authorized to admit pupils 5 years of age on February 1, instead of April 1.
