It Succeeds In Delaying- the Vote on the
Proposed Measure.
SECRETARY CARLISLE'S POSITION
Ho Declares That Neither the Temporary
Tariff Bill Nor the Bond Bill Will Bring
Permanent Relief May be Forced
to a Silver Basis.
Washington, Deo. 23. Tho hoimo yes
terday entered upon tho consideration of
the bond bill, wliloh,lu connection with
tho tariff bill passed on Thursday, consti
tute tho relief which tho Republican house
of representatives offers tho Democratic
executive to moot the existing financial
situation. The bill aroused tho united op
position of tho Democrats and Populists,
the Rold Democrats being arrayed against
It because they claimed It did not plvo tho
socretary the authority to Issue gold bonds,
with which ho desired to rcplontsh the ro
sarvo, and tho silver Democrats on the
ground of their goneral opposition to bond
Issues. The latter contonded that the raids
on the treasury could be stopped if tho
secretory would use his discretion to re- ,
deem notes In silver when the resorvo was
threatened. . i
In tho Republican ranks, also, thoro de
veloped such bitter opposition to the bill
ns originally drawn, and to tho proposi
tion to forco the bill to a vote, that tho
Republican members of tho committee on
ways and means incorporated In It an
nmendment specifically declaring that
nothing In the net should be construed ns
n modification or repeal of tho not of 1378
lor tho reissue of tho greenbacks whon ro
deomed, nnd the conuhlttoo . rules ex
tended tho limit of dobato until today at 3
o'clock, but decllnod to give tho members
tho houso opportunity to olTcr amend
ments. Theso concosslons probably
brought a fow of tho fractious Republicans
into uno, how many today's voto will
6how.
Eleven Republicans wont ovor tho party
traces yesterday on tho adoption of tho
rule. This, It Is stntod, doos not represont
more than one-fourth of tho opposition to
tho measure Itself. Tho feature of tho day
was a strong speech from Sir. Johnson,
California Republican, appealing to his
Republican colleagues to voto against tho
bill. Ho scored tho Republican loaders
for bringing In the bill. Ho said ho had
voted for the rovonuo measure under pro
test, but no refused to follow them on tho
present bill. Political expodionoy which
Involved n surrender of principle, he de
clared, would never succeed.
Tho dobato ran far into tho night, Tho
principal speeches were mado by Mossrs.
Dluglcy, Grosvenor, Turner nnd Patter
son. Tho scnato was enlivened by a spirited
and somewhat personnl dobato In which
Mr. Hill, of Now York, and .Mr. Teller, of
Colorado, wcro tho principal figures. Tho
Now York senator precipitated considera
tion of tho bond quostion by oitering u
resolution declaring that tho future bond
Issues to renew tho gold rosorvo should
bear a provision that thoy would bo pay
able In gold or silver, at tho option of tho
holder. In support of this Mr. Hill road a
speech sotting forth tho difficulties of ne
gotiating bonds under tho uncertainties of
the present law, and ho branched out In a
goneral discussion of finance, among other
things urging tho permanent retirement
of the greenbacks, In accordance with tho
recommendations of the president and
secretary of tho treasury.
Mr. Teller's reply to Mr. Hill was cut
ting, sarcastlo and personal. Ho repudi
ated and protested against tho efforts of
tho president and all his "tldo waiters" to
defame the credit of the United Suites.
Ho spoke of tho recont visit to Washing
ton of a great Now York banker, one of
those who had participated In tho 'dis
honorablo or imbocllo bond transaction"
of last year.
Tho galleries were crowded during tho
debate, and tho sonators as well as spec
tators keenly enjoyed tho caustic tilt. Mr.
Allen, Nebraska Populist, added his pro
test to that of Mr. Toller against tho defa
mation of our national credit. No final no
tion on tho Hill resolution was taken.

Washington, Deo. 28. Secretary Car
lisle mado the following statement to tho
Associated Press In response to tho follow
ing question: "What, In your opinion,
will bo tho offect upon tho financial situa
tion of tho tariff bill passed by tho house
of reprosontntlvosf"
"I had," said Mr. Carlisle, "supposed
that very fow could now bo found who bo
llevo that our financial difficulties were
caused by a delleloncy in the ordinary
revenues of tho government, or that they
cau bo relieved by Increasing taxes upon
tho commodities consumod by tho peoplo.
These difficulties are tho uocostinry results
of our financial legislation, and they can
not bo removed, ovon temporarily, by tar
iff laws nor by any other measures which
do not directly enable tho government to
procure tho means necessary for the main
tenance of gold pifymonts."
"Do you think, then, hat tho bond bill '
reported In the houso will furnish any re
lief to tho treasury?"
"The bill reported by the committee on
ways and moans falls very far short of the
requirements of tho situation. Our diffi
culties wore produced, and liavo been pro
longed nnd aggravated, by the fear that,
notwithstanding all tho efforts of the ad
ministration, wo may ultimately bo unablo
to procure gold for tho purpose of redeem
ing our notes, and consequently be forced
to a sllvor basis, and this fear cannot bo
wholly removed until some action U taken
by congress clearly Indicating ft purpose to
pay all our obligations In gold whon do
innndod by tho holders.
"About $10,000,000 In Intorost could have
boon saved to tho peoplo on the last Issue
of bonds if congress hd consented to
make tlioni expressly payable In gold, In
stead of coin. .This condition Is not at all
Improved by tlio pending 1)111, which stlir i I
requires mi Damn to he payable 'In coin'

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Number of IIimIiims Failure ConIil
rrably Increased Over I.mt Trar.
NEW YoltK, Deo. 28. Bradstreets' review
of trade says: As Is tho rulo In Christmas
week, wholesale trade lias boon quiet.
The holidays, tho close of tho year and
stock taking tend to make business slow,
and promise only a light trade until lato
in January. At various cities, notably
Now York, Boston, Baltimore nnd
Chicago, anticipations as to the character
of trade early In tho coming year are hopo
f ill, but it remains to bo scon whether tho
downward movement of demand and
prices, and tho dolay in putting tho cur
rency on sound basis, all of which have
begun to show thomsolvos in trade condi
tions, will permit of as early and marked
gains in staplo linos of trade In 1800 as lias
booi confidently anticipated.
Business failures in the country for a
completed year number 13,013, an increase
of nioro than 2 per cent., notwithstanding
this is tho second year following a panic,
in which, as shown by records, it, Is usual
for the number of failures to decline. The
Increase of 2 per cent, in number Is ac
companied by a gain of 0 per cent. In
liabilities of thoso falling, nnd the com
mercial death rato, which averaged 1.20 in
every 100 engaged in business during tho
live years from 1800 to 1801, Inclusive, and
ranged as high as 1.5'J in the panic year
1803, down to 1.31 in 1801, has risen to 1.23
of every 100 in business this yonr.
Tho Increases in number of failures nro
at tho west, northwest and In tho middle
states, decreases being shown In Now
England, at the south and on tho P.iolflo
coast. Tho percentage of assets to liabil
ities has risen from 63 per cent, ouo year
ugo to nearly 56 per cent, ns contrasted
with 05 per cent, in the year 1893.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s review says: The
foreign and financial messagos of tho presi
dent wcro followed by violent reaction In
tho stock market last Saturday, with grave
fears of monetary trouble. Tho sudden
panic cheeked business in many depart
ments, and tho industries cannot ba ex
pected to show signs of Improvement un
til tho now year begins. Orders have for
mouths been so much smaller than they
were in tho summer, when production
was expanding and prices mounting rap
idly, that now causes of uncertainty have
tho more influence.
Tho total business failures In tho United
States this week number 3.'3, against 350
for tho same week last year, and 10 in
Canada, against 41 last year.

TWO MEN DANGEROUSLY INJURED
The Saloon in Whloh the Riot Oacurred
Was Badly Wrecked and Two of the
Participants Were Removed to
.the Miners' Hospital.
Special to Kvenino Ilnu.M.D.
Qimiuutox, Dec. 28. At about one o'clock
this morning a blood-thirsty liot took place at
the saloon of Andrew Ambrueious in which
about fourteen men waged battle upon each
other for tibout half an hour and bovoral
were seriously Injured. It Is feared, two will
die. They wcro taken to the Miners' hos
pital. The allalr was a sequel to a slabbing
affray that occurred on Christmas night.
One John I'uhiskl entered tho houee of
Anthony Wasluskl and picked a quarrel
during which l'aluski stabbed Waslnski In
tlie throat, Indicting a serious, but not inn
gorous wound.
Burly this mornliiK friends of the injured
man met l'aluskl and some friends in
Ambrocious' saloon and a fight ensued.
Bverything within reach was used as a
weapon. Tho lights were extinguished and
a dcqionito liattlo in darkness enniod.
Several chairs woro smashed to splinters,
bottles, decantors and glasses wore shattered
and tho saloon was badly wrecked.
When the fight ended it was found that
l'aluskl suffered the most of tho eight or ten
victims. He sustained concussion of tho
brain and many severe lacerations. Adam
Witetiftki also received several bad cuts and
was removed to the Miners' hospital with
1'aluski.
It is difficult to ascertain who precipitated
the nut, although tho indications arc that it
was mused by a spirit of vengeance for tlio
stabbing of Wasluskl. Tlio authorities have
succeeded in gathering sufllcicnt evidence to
hold John MuUuski for the injuries Pulaski
received and he has been committed to tlio
I'ottsvillc jail without bail, as It is thought
lie charge against him will bo one of murder

Tho explosion, which occurred at tho

und enormous pieces of rock wero thrown

wero hurled through the air n distance of

bodies, and tho mutilation was so complete
that identification was difficult.
Tho men wcro seen ontoring tho building
about noon, and a moment afterwards
there was a burst of flnmo and u deafening

was caused by the ignition of tho powder
in some manner from tho steam pipes
