Towa Republicans Formally Open the Campaign for Their Favorite. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—The Allison Presidential boom was formally launched to-aay, when nearly every mem- ber of the Iowa delegation now in Wash- ington met to organize. It is understood that this meeting was held with the full knowledge and sanction of Senator Alli- son., General David B. Henderson, Represent- ative in Congress, Senator Gear and Repre- sentative Hepburn were appointed a com- tee to take charze of Allison’s inter- ests in Washington, and the i operate with the Iowa Republican commit- tee, which is now working up the Allison boom. General Henderson said toa CarLr correspondent to-night **Our delegation is u imous for Alli- son. Our State committee is a unit for him, and the people of Iowa are for him. He is our favorite son. Not only that, but vou will find he will be the favorite of the majority of the delegates in the conven- tion nator Perkins said to a CarL corre- spondent to-night: ‘Allison is my favor- ite for President. He is a safe man, broad-gauged, big-brained, big-hearted, conservative yet ccurageous. He will make a magnificent candidate.” A Carw correspondent was at the head- quarters of Chairman Harrity of the Nutiona! Democratic Committee at the Arlington Hotel, and among those present were J. K. Richardson, Iowa’s National Democratic Committeeman. Harrity re- marked to him: “I hear a good deal of talk of a favorable nature about Allison. He seems to bein the lead for the nomina- tion.” ‘“Yes,” replied Richardson, “and I be- lieve he will be the Republican nominee.” Both men agreed that Allison would make the strongest candidate that Repub- licans could nominate. e ALLISON NOMINATED, Towa Republicans Insure His Re-Elec- tion to the Senate. DES MOINES, Towa, Jan. 15— The joint caucus of Republicans of the House and Senate was the only interesting event in the Legi It was to nomi- nateacandidate for United States Senator, and William B. Allison, senior Senator, was nominated by acclamation to succeed bimself. % There was great enthusiasm and the House was packed. Senator Allison was in the city and was escorted to the hall by a committee. He was given an ovation and introduced to the caucusas the next President of the United States. He had been named in the same way by each of the speakers who had made or seconded his nomination. In accepting Mr. Allison expressed his thanks for this, his fifth nomination to the Senate, and spoke of the important duties that, especially in the present crisis of Na- tional affairs, are incident to the office. He declared in ringing terms that the Na- tional honor and the National credit must be sustained at any cost. This was his nearest reference to hisown Presidential aspiraikes MONTANA STORM-SWEPT. Cattle on the Eanges Will Suffer Because of the Snowfall. HELENA, MoxT., Jan 15.—The worst storm in several yesrs is raging in Mon- tana. The thermometer throughout the State to-day ranged from 8 to 36 degrees below zero, with snow three to twenty-five inches deep and stifl falling. Cattlemen In 1877 | ver on the ranges have great fears for the safety of their stock. The ranges are low from the dry summer, and unless a chi- nook melts the snow soon thousands of head will perisk of starvation. g g e “BILL” DOOLIN CAPTURED.

Doolin’s record in the line of Tob- | beries of individuals and banks, train hold-uvs, murders and ontrages of the worst kind have placed him in the class with the James brothers, “Bill” Dalton and Cherokee et e EXODUS OF THESPIANS.

BOWERS SCORES SUTRO, Declares the Mayor Is Aiding the Funding Bill by His 4 Course. trip from n thirty Senators and Representatives Take Offense at Insinuations of Bribery. Jan. 15.—Copies ening Report, con- | ning an editorial article attacking Rep- | resentative Bowers for his recent statement | concerning the Pacific roads, have been received by many members of Congress. It seems that Mr. Bowers, ina recent issue of a San Francisco paper, expressed the hope that the opposition to Huntington’s funding bill would send representative | business men here and not ward politi- cians or political adventurers. ! The Report criticised him for this and | declared that Bowers was ‘‘a slippery Congressman,”” whose actions would bear watching when the funding bill came up. Mr. Bowers, in an interview to-day, re- taliated by saying: “Please wire that Mr. Bowers is con- gratulated by many members of Congres who deciare he has taken the correct po: tion. The red-letter skull-and-crossbenes literature that the Sutro syndicate is bom- | barding us with is offensive to members of | Congress, who resent and repel the insinun- ation of attempts to bribe individual H members and committees of Congress. These sandlotters don’t represent the | people. What do Congressmen care what Huntington did thirty years ago? “What does anybody care? The only effect of this kind of campaigning is to help funding-bill promoters. Senators have also told me (and among them Senator White) that such methods are not eftective here.” Senator White said: “There is some danger that the circular business may be overdone. In justice to Mr. Bowers it may be said that no one of his colleagues believes that he is not as strongly opposed to the funding bill as any member of Con- gress.” Judge Barham said to-night: “I have talked with Bowers and know that he is strongly opposed to the funding bill.” Representative McLachlan corroborated Judge Barham’s statement. R G NORTHERN PACIFIC CASE. Question of Judicial Jurisdiction Argued at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—Ex- Senator Spooner this morning resumed his argument before Justices Field, Harlan, Brewer and Brown on the Northern Pa- cific question that some Judge be recog- nized as baving primary jurisdiction in the appointment of receivers. etc., thus doing away with the conflict of authority between the courts. Spooner’s argument mainly shows the original jurisdiction of Judge Jenkins, before whom the first proceedings in the present litigation were brought. Ex-Senator Spooner followed G. W. Pettit in behalf of the Northern Pacific corporation. Pettit argued in favor of the District Court of Washington as the primary jurisdiction. Choate, represent- ing the bondholders, closed the argu- ment, and contended that the rail- road company was, in bonor and law, stopped from denying the right to Judge Jenkins to exercise the power of primary jurisdiction after having acquiesced in it nearly two years. Counsel were required to prepare in the course of the day the form of order that they desired to have made in the prem- ises and file it with the other papers in the case. ‘PLEAS FOR THE v GROW’S RINGING WORDS. | the case on Tuesda » The Fortifications of Havana—¥tom the Latest Charts in Possession of the United States Naval Department. AGED VETERANS, Cleveland's Pension Policy | Assailed in the | House. w | The Venerable Statesman Resents | the Interference of the Executive, HIS DICTATORSHIP REBUKED. Congress Urged to Resist the Con. tinual' Invasion Upon Its Prerogatives, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan, 15.—As was | , the most striking | proceedings in the House occurred just previous to adjonrn- | ment. The venerable ex-Speaker, Galusha | A. Grow, Representative-at-large from the State of Pennsylvania, inspired by a col- | loquy between Messrs. Pickier (R.) of South Dakota and W. A. Stone (R.) of event of the d Pennsylvania as to the probable action of | the Presideht upon a general revision of the pension law, protested earnestly | against the encroachment by the head of the executive departmentof the Govern- | ment or by any of his clerks upon the pre- | rogatives of the House. He referred es- | pecially to the circulation at the last ses- | sion of Congress of a bill headed “the Sec- | retary of the Treasury’s bill,” and to the | reading of a letter by Wilson just as the | House was about to vote upon the tariff | bill. | The greater part of the session was de- | voted to the discussion of the pension ap- | propriation bill, various members criticiz- | ing the administration of the Pension Bu- | reau. Walsh (D.) of New York united | with his coileague (Cummings) in a: ing the House that the Democrats of York approved a liberal peusion policy. He invoked the chivalry of the members from the South, which he said had never | been appealed to in vain, to vote for the bill and the amendment proposed by the committee and aid in making comfortable | the widows of those who met them in the tield in open and honorable conflict. ‘W. A. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania, in charge of the bill, gave notice that he would to-morrow ask to consider the bill under the five-minute rule, with a view of reaching a vote before adjournment. In the morning hour the House adopted a resolution reported by Johnson (R.) of Indiana from Elections Committee 2, con- firming the right of Georgze B. McClellan to the seat he holds in the House as the Representative from the Twelith New York District, the contest therefor having been abandoned by Robert H.Chesebrough, the Republican candidate. Senate bills were passed amending the land grant for future acts as to purchases of land, included within the forfeited grants to purchase segregated tracts up toa maxi- mum limit of 320 acres, and to grant an American registly to the steamer Miami, rebuilt from the British steamer Nerito. After routine business, on motioa of W, A. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania, the com- mittee of the whole resumed consideration of the general pension bill, Dingley (R.) of Maine in the chair. Morse (R.) of Massachusetts announced that he would offer at the proper time an amendment to the bill giving the widow of a soldier the minimum pension of §12 a month, notwithstanding that the soldier died from disease not contracted in the service. Brief speeches were made by Lacey%R.) of Iowa, who, with McCall of Tennessee, opposed the adoption of the Graff amend- ment as not tending to further the best interest of the pensioners; Milnes (R.) of Michigan, Crowther (R.) of Missouri, Lowe (R.) of New York, Howe (R.) of New York, Spalding (R.) of Michigan, who raised a laugh by saying that the only ele- ment not satisfied with the result of the war of the Rebellion were the non-com- batants, North and South; Treadwell (R.) of Indiana and Pickler (R.) of South Dakota, who urged the necessity of a gen- eral revision of the vension laws so as to insure a radical change in the administra- tion of the Pension Bureau. This evoked a query from W. A. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania as to whether or n3 Pickler believed the President would sign a bill containing such amendments as he proposed, and whether or not it was not | houses of Congress that the sovereign in | President exercises the veto power. | on one occasion a bill headed ‘The bill of | presented to him for his approval. | the right to express his approval or dis- | of the departments, except the Secretary | I better to take what they could probably | get as a rider to an appropriation bill | rather than to risk getting nothing. To | this Pickler replied that he did not know | what the President would do; but he did | know that the House should do its duty regardless of the attitude or action of the | President. [Applause.] Apropos to this colloguy, the venerable eaker Grow (R.) of Pennsylvania, addressed the House briefly upon the ne- | cessity of resentineg the encroachment upon its prerogatives by ihe executive. | He said under long established par- | liamentary law it has always been re- garded as an invasion of the prerogatives of Parliament for any one to refer in his discussion to the opinion of the king on any question pending before it. A member—Is Mr. Cleveland the king? | Grow—In reference to matters of this kind he occupies the same relation to the Great Britain does to Parliament. The “In the last Congress we had before us the Secretary of the Treasury.’” What has that officer to do with presenting a bill in this House? We have had here attempts by the Secretaries of the different depart- | ments to influence legislation. They have sent in here letters to be read with refer- | ence to pending mea: . And, in one | case, a letter was read here from the Presi- | dent of the United States having reference | to a measure then pending in the House | and just about to be voted upon. I trust such practices will be discontinued. “This House owes it to itseli to make the President understand that he has nothing to do with the action of this legis- | lative body till a bill, formaly passed, is | [Ap- plause.] Only in that contingency has he | approval. Nor hasany one of the heads of the Treasury, the right to communicate | his views uninvited to this House. That officer may report to this House on im- portant questions affecting the revenues; but when he sends here a bill headed, ‘The bill of the Secretary of the Treasury’ the House owes it to itself to return that bill | to him and to say that he cannot invade in that way the prerogatives of this body. No more can the President of the United States by having a letter read here on an important measure. “I am well aware that the majority in the House to-day would take no orders | from the present executive, and it is not in | that view that [ am raising this question. I simply submit that the legislative de- partment of the United States owes it to itself to resent any action on the part of the executive to influence the vote of this House on pending legislation.’” Stone gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the House to proceed with the consideration of the bill under the five- | minute rule, with the expectation of reach- ing a vote before adjournment. The com- mittee then rose and at4:05 o'clock the | House adjourned TANK FOR NAVAL TESTS, Representative Hilborn’s Bill in Aid of Government Ship- Builders. Provides for a Miniature Sea in Which Model Vessels Can Ma- neuver. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—Repre- sentative Hilborn to-day introduced a bill providing that the Secretary of the Navy be directed to establish a model tank with all proper appliances for the purpose of investigating and determining the most suitable and desirable shapes and forms to | be adopted for United States naval vessels. This model tank shall be located at Wash- ington upon such Governmentreservation already under control of the Navy Depart- ment as the Secretary may designate, and shall be built upon plans approved by him. A naval constructor shall, under the direc- tion of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department, have charge of the model tank and all work done in connection with it. At this model tank experiments may be made for private ship-builders upon an- thorization of the Secretary, provided that | the cost of material and of labor of per diem employes in making such experi- ments shall %e defrayed by private ship- builders; and provided further, that the results of such experiments shall be re- rarded as confidential and sball not be divalged without the consent of the ship- builder for whom they may be made. The bill appropriates §100.000 for this purpose. Representative Hilborn is a member of the Naval Affairs Committee. He said to-night: It is ciaimed by the best naval author- ities that of all problems about a steam- ship the only one at the present time incapable of being solved by a priori methods in extreme cases are those of speed and power. No ability and no training will enable even the most skillful naval architect to overcome the want of an ex- perimental tank. At present such tanks have been established by the Governments of England, Italy and Rassia, and have proven highly successful.” DENOUNCE THE ISSUE OF BONDS, |Mills and Peffer Deliver Set Speeches in the Senate. USE OF SILVER URGED. Bitter Denunciation by the Texan of the National Bank System. THE PRESIDENT ASSAILED. Statutory Authority for the Adminis. tration’s Financial Acts Is Denied. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—The Senate listened to-day to two long speeches against the further issue of United States bonds and in favor of the use of silver money. The first was made by Mills (D.) of Texas and the second by Pefer (Pop.) of Kansas. Millg’ speech was bitterly de- nunciatory of the National bank sys- tem, and'an arraignment of the financial policy of the President and of the Secretary of the Treasury, while Peffer denied that there was any authority in existing stat- | utes for the issue of Urited States bonds. Although the Kansas Senator spoke for two hours and a guarter he did not con- clude all that he desired to say, preferring to go on with the remainder of his speech tc-morrow. On the same general subject a joint reso- lution was introduced by Fugh (D.) of Ala- | bama, being a reproduction of what is known as the Stanley Matthews resolu- tion, declaring all Government bonds payable, principal and interest, at the pleasure of the Government in standard silver dollars. Pugh said he would ask a vote on the resolution to-morrow without debate, but subsequently he said he would not ask a vote until Monday. The Senate at 4:25 adjourned until to- morrow, with the understanding that the adjournment to-morrow would be until Monday. A bill heretofore introduced by Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska and then referred to the Comnmittee on Fereign Relations, to prevent United States citizens from accept- mg titles or patents of nobility from foreign nations, was reported back to-day from the committee adversely and was postponed indefinitely. A joint resolution appropriating $75,000 to defray the joint expenses of locating the boundary line between Alaska and the British North American territory was passed. The resolution offered yesterday by Milis (D.) of Texas in favor of the coinage of silver and for other purposes was taken up and Mills addressed the Senate. The real force behind the controversy and which had been urging it on for years was, he said, the National banks, which claimed that the prerogative of coining and issuing money, which necessarily be- longed to the Government, really belonged to them and that they must exercise the prerogative of contracting and expanding the currency and of changing the standard | of value as might suit their personal in- terests. At considerable length, and with his usual display of fervor in manner and language, Mills reviewed the history of the National bank system and argued in favor of abolishing it, quoting from the platforms of political parties in several States against the National banks and against bank-note circulation, which, he said, cost the people $100,000 a year. He expressed his regret at having to differ with the President in his recommendation to cancel and withdraw Government cir- | culation and to substitute hank circulation for it. Criticiz‘mg the recommendations of the President to fund the greenbacks and treasury notes in interest-bearing bonds, Mills declared that the teaching was con- trary to that of all the parties who had elected Presidents. On this point he con- trasted the views of President Cleveland with those of President Washington—‘‘a patriot President, not a political Presi- dent,” he said, who recommended the payment of the existing National debt and the avoidance of new debts. Summing up the views expressed by Jefferson, Madisoq, Jackson, Van Buren, Buchanan and other grear men of the past, ‘he declared that it had been the Demo- cratic policy from the organization of the party to pay the public debt and to kgep the resonrces of the country irom being incumbered by taxation. “Shall we now,” he exclaimed, ‘‘turn around, retrace our steps, establish, fo_r- tify and keep a moneyed aristocracy in this country and stop the vain effort to maintain free institutions and transmit them unimpaired to our children ?” Mills stated that the Government had always made its bonds redeemable after a certain time, or at its pleasure. ‘‘But now,” he continued, “‘we hear our Presi- dent and our Secretary of the Treasury asking not only for bonds, but bonds to be sold for gold—for long time bonds.”” “Fifty-year bonds,” Cockrell (D.) of Missouri prompted. “‘Fifty-year bonds,” Mills repeated. “That means 50,000 years. It means a debt never to be paid. The party,” he ex- claimed passionately, ‘“that dares to go before the country in the coming cam- paign and that has the honesty to write in its platform that it is in favor of maintain- ing a public debt as a pedestal on which to build & National banking system will be swept out of existence with a storm of in- dignation.” Mills closed his speech at 2 p. M., and then the bond bill, with the silver substi- tute reported from tue Finance Commit- tee, was taken up and Peffer (Pop.) ad- dressed the Senate. Peffer yielded the floor temporarily to Pugh (D.) of Alabama, who offered a joint resolution declaring, after many whereases, that all the bonds of the United States issued under the act of March 18, 1869, July 14,1870, and Janu- ary 14, 1875, were payable, principal and interest, at the pleasure of the Govern- ment in standard silver dollars. He said that the joint resolution was an exact copy of the Stanley Matthews resolution, whnich passed both houses in 1878 by a two-thirds vote, and that he would ask a vote on it to-morrow without debate. For a public officer, Peffer declared, to assume authority to bond the people of the whole country without a specific act of legislative authority was a great public crime. It was not his business nor his purpose to intimate that there was any improper motive on the part of the Presi- dent or the Secretary of the Treasury, or that they did not believe that they were at least justified by the language of such statutory provisions as they could find, to do what they had done. Nevertheless he believed—and he thought he would make it appear—that there had been no need of haste and they had been simply bowing the head a little lower to the power which was cursing the people of the country and the people of the world. He cast some ridicule upon the argument as to the maintenance of the parity between gold and silver and sai “When the Populists come into power we will arrange that parity satisfactorily, at least to some people.” 7 ‘That will be,” Hoar (R.) of Massachu- setts remarked, “‘after the millennium.” “The millennium is approaching now,” said Peffer, confidently, =0 that we will not have long to wait." “I am afraid,” Hoar remarked, *“that the coming in power of the Populists will be after the times spoken of in the Revela- tion, when the millennium is ever and when Satan will hold forth.” *‘We are the revelators,” Peffer ex- claimed, and then he went on with his speech. After he had spoken two hours and a quarter Peffer said he would prefer to go on with his speech to-morrow. On the motion of Walcott (R.) of Colorado it was agreed that when the Senate adjourn to-morrow it adjourn till Monday next. Pugh (D.) of Alabama stated that on account of the absence of several Senators he would not call up his resolution (the Stanley Matthews measure) until Monday next. After a short executive session the Senate at 4:25 Pp. adjourned until to- MOTTOW. VCTOR TO THE POATE Sultan Abdul Hamid Receives an Autograph Letter From the Queen. COLLAPSE OF THE SYNDICATE, Morgan Dissolves the Band of Bond-Cornering Bankers, SMALL BIDDERS HEARD. Evidence That the Whole-Issue-or- None Ultimatum Was Not Effective. CHEERING CIRCULAR ISSUED, The Leader Admits That the Loan Will Be a Success Without the Syndicate. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan, 15.—The mem- bers of the Government bona syndicate re- ceived this morning a circular letter from J. P. Morgan releasing them from their commitments to furnish their pro-rata share of $100,000,000 in gold to the Govern- ment, and a second $100,000,000 if desira- ble, taking their pay therefor in 4 per cent bonds. The circular sets forth that this action seems desirable in view of the terms of the treasury circular offering the bonds to the public. “The amount of bonds offered by the Secretary of the Treasury made a syndi- cate contract, owing to the minimum therein fixed, available only to a bid for all or none,” says Morgan's circular. *“I should be unwilling to make such a bid under present circumstances, as I might thus seem to present for consideration by the Secretary of the Treasury the throw- ing out of smaller bids made in gooa faith under the public call. The only emer- gency which would justify such a course would ve the failure of the public to re- spond to the call of the Government. “‘Subscriptions by individuals and others, including many of the syndicate, whom I have encouraged to subscribe, from pres- ent indications insure the complete success of the issue. Therefore 1 feel that the time for announcing the dissolution of the syndicate has arrived, and official notice to that effect is accordingly issued. I feel perfectly satisfied that there is no question as to the success of the loan in spite of the dissolution of the syndicate. There will still be more or less concert action among them as large individual bidders for the loan.” AR MODIFIES THE CALL. Additional Bond Circular Issued by Seo- retary Carlisle. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—Secre- tary Carlisle to-night issued the following additional circular regarding the subscrip- tion to 4 per cent bonds: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF SECRE-| TARY, WASHINGTCN, Jan. 15, 1896. | Treasury circular 31,896, dated January 6, 1896, inviting proposals for the purchase of £100,000,000 of United States 4 per cent bonds, is hereby so modified that aiter the payment of the first installment of 20 per cent with ac- crued interest, as required in said circular, the remainder of the amounts bid may be paid in installments of 10 per eent each and ac- crued interestat the end of fifteen days there. after, but all accepted bidders may pay the whole amount of their bidsat the time of the first installment, and accepted bidders who have paid all installments previously maturing may pay the whole amount of their bids at any time not later than the maturity of the last installment. Accepted bidders who pay the whole amount at the time of the first installment, or at any date thereaiter, as above provided, will be en- titled to receive at the date of the payment the The Missive Presented at a Private Audience to Sir Philip Currie. LONDON, ExG., Jan. 15.—A di from Constantinople says that Sir Philip Currie, the British Embassador to Turkey, was granted a private audience by the Sultan to-day, and presented to his Ma- jesty an autograph letter from Queen Vic- toria. e PORTE REASSURED. Additional American Warships Not Dis- patched to Turkey. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEy, Tuesday, Jan. 14.—The Porte gives out the state- ment that the United States Government has informed Mavroyeni Bey, Turkish Minister at Washington, that no United States war vessels have been ordered to Eastern waters. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 15.—The United Press cable from Constantinople stating that the Turkish Minister there bad been informed by the United States Government that no additional warships had been ordered to Turkish waters was probably based on a communication made to Mavroyeni Bey by Secretary Olney on Thursday last, when the Turkish represen- tative visited the State Department. Mr. Olney this afternoon declined to say any- thing on the subject. The announcement of the Porte is prac- tically of little interest, excepting in so far as it officially confirms the feeling in naval circles that no orders have oeen issued to Rear-Admiral Bunce to send any of the vessels now under his command to Hamp- ton Roads. Notwithstanding this it is understood to be true that the project of sending a portion, at least, of Admiral Bunce’s fleet to the Levant has been con- sidered by the President and his advisers. That no formal action has been taken as the resultof this consideration does not necessarily mean that the project has been abandoned, for the fleet isstill held in home waters, although nearly a month has passed since the date set for its departure for a cruise in the West Indies.
