THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1895 revenue to meet the expenditures of the Government and should lower the rate of interest on bonds and open the books for their snbseription to the people of the United States. imilar support to the bill was given by tewart (R.) of New Jersey. McLaren (D.) of South Curolina said he should oppose the bill, because it wouid not only increase the burdens of the treasury, but legalize a series of improper and unfounded assump- tions by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the further reason that he believed rather in rest g than extending the discretionary forms of the Treasury De- | nt retief could be afforded, he | f the Secretary would obey the law establish an m of | treati of the nd in accordance with | | d the resump- tion act of 1875 was a Republican measure | of peace authorizing the Under t law Secretary n sold $95,000,000 of bonds and s ich to resume spec: payments in 18 time unt hen Cleveland came in the second re was no necessity for our issue ere was never an hour in when the revenues were not et the expenditvres.

Astoinea y of the people to take the bonds provided for in the bill, Tawney read from a letter received by him to-day from a constituent living in a small village, who said he could seli $5000 of them in a week and get gold for them. Bailey (D.) of Texas declared that the eoinage of ballion in the treasury was the wisest and best solution of the situation. Connolly of Illinois announced that he did not like the bill, but argued that if the Republicans had prepared a bill making gold, silver and paper dollars equal to " each other, the other side would still op- pose it. The greenback was consecrated, he said, by the blood of the country, and he created considerable laughter by his assertion that it was like the man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho—it had fallen among thieves. He wanted the greenback to maintain its integrity among the moneys of the world. For this reason he would vote for the bill, although he did not like it. Payne (R.) of New York insisted that the fear that this bill would tie up the greenbacks was groundless. If the Secre- tary of the Treasury could tie them up under this bill, he could under the existing law. Other speeches were made by: Hopkins (R.) of Tllinois, Burton (R.) of Missouri, Nash (K.) of Illinois and Russell (R.) of Connecticat. Closing the debate in opposition to the bill, Crisp (D.) of Georgia said the Repub- licans could not urge the passage of the purely political proposition and at the same time claim that it was a response to the President, which was the administra- tion, to sell gold bonds. They were in favor of it or they were not, and they ought to deal fairly and frankly with the President and the people. Boutelie —Is the gentleman Georgia in favor of it? Crisp—I am not. The Democrats, he said, were united in their opposition and anited’ on principle. They believed there was no necessity for the issue of bonds, If the Republicans believed that bonds were payable in gold, they ought to make them bear on their face that fact. The Republican proposition was purely a po- * litical one, Crisp said. The Secretary of the Treasury had informed the House that a coin bond could not be sold at this time. The object of the Republicans, he insisted, was, while pretending to respond to the request of the President, they were pre- paring for a condition of the treasury dif- ferent from that which the Executive had asked. Dalzell (R.) of Pennsylvania closed the debate on the bill in favor of its passage. He said that if the legislation it proposed had been on the statute-book, it would have saved to the people in the matter of interest upon bonds issued by the present administration alone over one hundred millions of dollars. He reviewed the pro- yisions of the bill, and asked what was the objection to the relief proposed.

If he had stated the truth and the facts were as he said. Dalzell asked why any Republican should play into the hands of a Democratic adminis- tration. ' “I appeal,” he impressively said in con- clusion, *“to my fellow Republicans to think long and earnestly before they join the Democratic forces on the other side of the aisle. The division is not for this time In accordance with the provisions of the order of debate, Jolmson (R.) of Califor- nia, at 3 o'clock, demandea a division on the question, and the vote was taken on the first section of the bill. It resulted—Ayes 170, noes 136.

Roach, FOR A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Introduction of a Bill to Establish the Institution. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28.—An- other bill to establish a National univer- sity at Washington has been introduced into Congress. It provides for a univer- sity of the highest type, vests the govern- ment of the university in a board of six- teen regents, with the President of the United States at the head,and in a univer- sity council embracing the said board and twelve eminens educators, representing as “COIN” SALISBURY’S FINANCIAL SC!OO\L [Reproduced from the Chicage Inter Occan.) many institutions of high rank belonging to as many States, the regents to have charge of all business affairsand the coun- cil of all else. It further authorizes the university to establish co-operative relations with other institutions in the country; prohibits par- tisan or sectarian preferences in any form; makes admission depend on competency only, and so guerds degrees to be granted as to protect the interests of all collegiate institutions entitled to recognition. _In consideration of the financial condi- tion of the country, it appropriates for the fiscal years 1897-95 barely enough to enable the board of regents to organize and do such preliminary work as should not longer be delayed, at the same time opening ihe door to all such as may desire in imita- tion of George Wasuington to contribute in any way to the great enterprise orig- inated by him.

By the Time It Expires the Republicans Will Enact a Permanent Protective System. COLUMBUS, Onto, Dec. 28.—“I think the tariff bill passed in the House yester- day is a suitable answer to the President’s appeal for aid,” «aid Governor McKinley when asked for his views of the measure, BOOM FOR PUGILISM Reception Tendered Peter Maher at Madison- Square Garden. ALL KINDS OF BOXING. L] : Stars of the Lesser Magnitude Punished Each Other to the Delight of Beholders. THERE WAS A FINAL FROST. Hisses for the Man of the Emerald Costume Whose Work Was Disappointing. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 28. — The reception tendered to Peter Maher at Madison-square Garden to-night devel- oped into one of the greatest demonstra- tions seen 1n connection with pugilism since the days of John L. Sullivan. ‘When the regular programme opened with a bag-punching competition, soon | after 8 o’clock, every seat in the great am- phitheater was filled and the greatest en- thusiasm prevailed. The bag proved too lively for the first few punchers, but when the experts took a hand they soon reauced it to submission. Jimmy Handler of Newark showed all his customary cleverness and a little more, | and proved an easy winner of the compe- | tition. Kid McCoy was second. The boxing-bouts were for the most part exhibitions of the tamest pattern, and were between Dauny MeBride and Jack | Grace of New York, Martin Joyce and P. | Cronin of Brooklyn, ana’ Harry Woods of | San Francisco and Charlie Miner of New | York. & Things assumed a more lively com- GOVERNOR McKINLEY OF OHIO, WHO TARIFF LEGISLATION, ; 7. 'y . IS PLEASED WITH THE PRESENT “Of course it is only an emergency measure, Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Committee givesa very com- prehensive and sensible statement of the bill and the situation in his report to the House. It will be observed that, as he says, the bill is intended to. be in force only two and a half years, and by that time, he states, it is expected the Republi- cans will be returned to power, and will re-enact a permanent protective tariff system. “Under the present circumstances it doubtless would be folly to endeavor to enact a substantial protective tariff bill. It probably would not go through the Sen- ate, and even if it did the President would veto it.” Asked what he thought of the present status of the controversy with England, McKinley replied: “There is nothing now which seems to call for any statement on thatquestion from me. The commission to investigate the Venezuelan boundary line has not been appointed, and no action has been taken since the President’s message that throws much light upon the question. As to what the finale will be, it is too early to predict.” ——— PLEADED GUILTY OF THEFT. Sentence of the Ex-City Clerk of Beatrice, Nebraska. BEATRICE, NEsg., Dec. 28.—J. T. Phil- lips, City Clerk of Beatrice until two months ago, when he was arrested and charged with forgery of city warrants and embezzlement and the office de- ! clared vacant, to-day pleaded guilty in [ tne District Court, and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in the peni- tentiary. His stealings run into the thou- sands. Shortly after his ‘arrest Phillips, who was out on_bail, escaped, but was re- captured. Water Commissioner Hawkins, who was indicted with him, was acquitted. A petition for clemency in Phillips’ behalf was ignored by the Judge. et a Into @ Receivership. SYRACUSE, N. Y., Dec. 28.—The Sweet Manufacturing Company, the leading steel industry in this country, to-day went into a receivership. i The receiver is Robert Dey, son-in-law of William A.

Three hundred employes are thrown out of work. | plexion, however, when J. Caulfield and | George Justice of New York appeared. They smashed each other in lively style | and acted as effective curtain-raisers for the first pair of stars, Peter Lowrey of | Dublin and Young Griffo of Ausiralia. | The pair put up a good give-and-take con- test during the three rounds. The brothers Casper and Benny Leon | sparred a neat bout and were followed by John L. Mitchell of Brookiyn and Kid Mc- Coy of Astoria. Tue bout was unpopu- larly dull until the final rally, when Mc- Coy swung his right across lightly and got dangerously near a chance knockout. Tim Murphy and Johnny Gorman, the old-timers, were introduced, but the up-to- date talent were more demonstrative over the rattling bout between Frank Erne of Buffalo and his pupil, Frank Zimpher. It was a fast, clean and stirring exhibition and the boys were generously applauded. The rival “spiders,”” Tommy Kelly of Harlem and Ike Weir of Boston, were the next pair. Young Griffo then reappeared for an extra bout with his countryman, Paddy Gorman. The latter was put'on instead of Mike Leonard. Gorman kept Griffo going at his best pace for three rotinds, and im- parted just enough ginger to tickle the audience without having the bout stopped. About 11 o’clock a ripple of excitement preceded the appearance of Maher, who was cheered to the echo ashe stepped into the ring clad in his customary emerald green costume. Then Announcer Burns came forward and apologized for the absence of Jim Hall and Jim Dwyer, two of the men billed to meet Maher. The temper of the andience changed in a moment and a perfect storm of hisses broke out as Maher fooled with Billy Woods of Denver for three brief rounds. Maher's regular partner, Peter Burns of Harlem, then appeared to wind up with the beneficiary. Maher's showing with his opponents to- night did not altogether suit his admirers and many left the building before the last bout was half over. SANTA ANA VS. RIVERSIDE. Crack Marksmen of the Two Cities to Compete. SANTA ANA, CaL., Dec. 28.—The three- man team bluerock match between Santa Ana and Riverside marksmen has been arranged and will take place in this city on New Year's day at the bluerock tour- nament to be given by the Santa Ana Gun Club. The conditions arc: Known traps, known angles, one man up; fifty hirds to each man, $50 a side, losing team to pay for the birds. 'he Riverside team is composed of Chick, Brunner and_ Packard, and the Santa Ana of Mason, Parker and Vaughn. Chick and Packard of the Riverside team are among the best-known trap shots in the State. Mason of Santa Ana holds the individual charapionsbip for Southern Cal- ifornia, which he won a few months ago at Los Angeles in a field of twenty-five. His score was 48 out of 50, and Parker, also of Santa Ana, was next to him with 47. Packard of Riverside and Vaughn of Santa Ana, the remaining members of the two teams, are both relizble men and rank well with the others. If the men are in good form a great score may be expected at the match. e Campbell’s Football Team. SAN JOSE, Car., Dec. 28.—The young men of Campbell have organized a foot- bail team nnder the name of the Wasps. About thirty signed the roll. Black and orange were adopted as the club’s colors.

A Friend of Senator Allison Tells a Story Illustrative of His Character. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28.—Tho assignment of so many Northwest Con- gressmen to important committees by Speaker Reed is a subject of much com- | ment among politicians. Ohio and Indi- ana were neglected, and this gives rise to the belief that Mr. Reed does not fear his rivals, McKinley and Harrison, but real- izes that Allison is the man he is to beat. Reed’s disposition of committeeships has incurred for him the enmity of many Republicans, and it was shown in the op- sition of forty-five Republicans to his bond scheme which passed the House to-day. Many of these were opposed to bonds on principle, but their caucus at the Ebbitt House the other night demon- strated that there is considerable personal | feeling against the Speaker. Among those who delivered bitter speeches was Grove L. Johnson of Califor- nia. Meanwhile Mr. Allison is making friends rapialy. He is to-day by far the-most popular of all the Presidential candidates. He is very courteous and affablein his manner, and is a great favorite among brother Senators, who delight to listen to his seemingly inexhaustible supply of anecdotes. Oneof the Pacific Coast Sena- to-day: ison, shortly after his return from Europe, told me & story illustrative of the man, and which speaks of the force as wel! as the absolute fogic which are so strongly characteristic of the Senator. “‘I was riding on a German railway,’ said Allison, ‘where they lock up passen- gers in small compartments. A big-mus- tached, warlike person sat at one window of the compartment while I sat at the other. My window was up, for I like cool, fresh air, and as I was gazing out at the landscape racing by and sniffing the breezes, suddenly and without a word to me, and without excuse or expl!anation, the man with poble air and warlike mus- tache arose and, stepping around to my seat, put down my window. Then he re- turned to his own perch and settled him- self with much massive calm. ¢ *He paid not the slightest heed to me from first to last. To say that I was aston- ished at the insolence of the action might faintly express my feelings, but the whole affair was such a surprise—so un- looked for—that before I recovered to the point where I might have interfered it was all over. The deed was done; my window was down. Now, what do you think 1 dia? “ «Can’t say,’ I replied.. ‘Put your win- dow up again?' “‘You are wrong,’ replied Allison. ‘I did not put my window up. Aftera sec- ond’s thought I stepped around to the seat of my noble stranger and put hls win- dow up.’ The Coast Senator continued: “Allison will be very popular in the far West, and I predict that he will have more votes west of the Missouri River than any other candidate. He is broad- gauged and liberal and altogether one of the brainiest men in public life. He is con- servativeand at the same time courageous.” PREPARED TO HKESIST. Fenezuelan Officers Drilled in the Useof Avtillery. NEW YORK, N.

Officers of the army are drilled daily in the use of heavy artillery on the hill tops above this city. — e e Weak Nerves are due to impoverished and impure blood.

C., Dec. 23, —Acting Secretary Wike ot the Treasury to-day gave notice that the United States 6 per cent bonds of the Iace value of issued under the acts of July 1,1 Juiy 2, 1864, 10 the Union Pacific Raiiroad Company, and commonly known as ‘“‘cur- rency sixes,” will become due and will be paid at Washington, D. C,, on the 1st day of Fevrunary, 1896, and that interest on said bonds will cease on that day. The nterest due January 1 will be paid at the same time as the principal, and further accrued interest on February 1. So far of thesa bonds there have been paid: February, 1805, $2,322,000; . Novembper, 1895, $640,000. Notice bas already been given that on Janmary 1, 1896, $3,680,000 of these bonds will be paid, making in ull., with the February paymentnearly $11,000,~ 000 out of the Pacific railroads paid for by the Government. Before July 1, 1896, another batch of these bonds will mature and unless Cor:- gress provides for their extension: the Treasury will have to redeem them. In interest alone since the Pacific Rail- roads bonds were guaranteed by the Gov- ernment in 1865, the Treasury. has paid out $105,000,000. BURIAL OF THE FVICTIMS. Funerals of Those Killed in the Theater Stampede. BALTIMORE, Mp., Dec. 28.—Six vic- tims of the Front-sireet Theater horror were buried this afternoon. A large crowd collected in front of each house of mourn- ing, and many morbidly curious persons— Jews and gentiles—followed the corteges to the cemetery. The Hebrew Free Burial Society has been requested to assume the expense of nterring five other victims of the catas- trophe by the poverty-stricken friends of the dead and has arranged to bury them to-morrow afternoon. The number of fatalities was twenty- three, as sent out last night. Many persons were injured and were re- moved to their homes before their condi- tion could be ascertained, but up to a late hour to-night no further deaths had been reported to the health officials. Of the ten patients at the City Hospital four had re- covered sufficiently to be removed and were sent to their homes this evening. T Shot in the Fostoffice. WELDON, In, Dec. 28.—Postmaster John A.
