The TreaHury Itunnliig Behind ft 10,000,-
l(jJ 000 a Month — KflpugnHuco to a
)tg Bond Issue—The Iucome Tax
likely to Be Separated
from the Main
Bill.
Washington, Jan. 12.—iSecretary
Carlisle appeared before the senate
finance committee and asked for au-
thority to issue bonds. He thinks an
issue of bonds the best way to meet the
apparently rapidly approaching crisis
in the treasury.
The secretary dwelt briefly upon the
steadily diminishing' gold reserve and
stated that, instead of increasing as he
had hoped the government receipts
would do, they had continued to dimin-
ish until there was coming to be a
mop <Hy gap of about $10,000,000 be-
tween the receipts and expenditures.
He said the act of 1875 for the resump-
tion of specie payments, which also
authorized a bond issue, should be so
amended as to permit this issuance for
a shorter time and at a lower rate of
interest than provided in that act. The
country would not justify the secretary
in taking advantage of the old author-
ity, because United States government
•onds could be disposed of at a much
ower rate of interest and for far short-
g t er time. He thought it would be a
the Ter.V l'as.v matter to sell bonds enough
1(j . to tide over the present urgency—to
j #meet 1 he prospective deficiency of the
r
present fiscal year—at 3 per cent, in-
terest and running for three, four or
2 fe\five years.

MR. BLOUNT QUESTIONED.
The Ex-Special Envoy Explains III* Selec.
Hon and * onrse at Hawaii.
Washington, Jan. 12 —Contrary to
previous announcement. ex-Special
Commissioner Blount was this morning
before the senate committee which is
investigating the relations of this
country with Hawaii under the resolu-
tion of Senator Morgan.
Mr. Blount told briefly of his ap-
pointment March 10, 1893, by the Presi-
dent, as special commissioner to inves-
tigate the condition of affairs on the
Hawaiian islands, which had been de-
veloped by the revolution of last Jan-
uary. The part the American troops
had taken in the revolution, the fact
that the American minister had
established an American protectorate
over the islands, and that a provis-
ional government had been formed and
was seeking to have the islands an-
nexed to the United States caused the
president to desire to have the whole
matter investigated by some one who
had no connection with the islands,
and he had been selected for this mis-
sion. He considered the appointment
as within the bounds of propriety and
precedent.
The decision to have the American
ensign taken down and the American
soldiers returned to the man-of-war
was next revived. Mr. Blount said
that he foun i the islands and the gov-
ernment entirely under the control or
protection of the United States troops.
The American flag floated over the
government building in which the
officers of the provisional government
conducted their business. Everywhere
was noticed the influence of this
country upon the people of the islands.
It was evident that it would be diffi-
cult to secure an impartial account or
opinion uninfluenced by the surround-
ings as long as this state of affairs con-
tinued. Consequently he decided March
81, two days after his arrival, that,
in accordance with the spirit of his
inatructions in the interest of
fair play, the flag should be taken
down and the American troops re-
moved. Of this decision he informed
President Dole and on the following
day ended the temporary protectorate
and he had the flag lowered. This pro-
ceeding he defended as within the
scope of his mission and as an entirely
proper proceeding under the circum-
stances. The subsequent events, he
said, proved that the presence of the
American troops was not necessary to
preserve order or protect i he life and
property of either Americans or na-
tives.

visited Superintendent Ford. He re-

THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Breckinridge Favor** the Wllnon Bill-
Dlngley Makefl a Bitter Attack.
Washington, Jan. 12.—When the
house met this morning Mr. Compton,
of Maryland, from the committee on
appropriations, asked unanimous con-
sent for the consideration of a bill ap-
propriating 148,000 for the improve-
ment of suburban streets in the District
of Columbia. He explained that the
appropriation would give employment
to many needy people. Mr. Kilgore,
of Texas, objected.
The house resolution to investigate
the personnel of the navy with senate
amendments was, on motion of Mr.
Meyer, of Louisiana, temporarily laid
on the table. The committee on in-
valid pensions was given leave to sit
during the sessions of the house.
The tariff debate was then resumed
and Mr. Breckinridge took the floor
and delivered a brilliant plea for the
Wilson bill.
Mr. Dingley followed with a bitter
attack on tariff reform.
made them walk down town through
the principal thoroughfares into Kut-
ner Goldstein's grocery. It was evi-
dently his intention, alone and single
i handed, to loot the grocery,
j However, just as the bandit ordered
three men in the store to throw up
| their hands, Constables Ochs and Nel-
son appeared and a shooting affray be-
gan. Ochs, with pistol drawn, rushed
into the store. The bandit turned
I upon him and fired, and Ochs fell and
rolled out through the door, firing at
I the obber from the floor. His aim was
wild, however, and he shot one citizen
through the arm and another in the
! breast The man hit in the breast was
struck by a spent bullet and not seri-
ously hurt, though knocked down.
I During the general fusilade the rob-
ber escaped and disappeared in the
| darkness. During the battle in the
grocery, a wagon dashed up to the
; door and the driver began shooting at
! Constable Ochs, thus aiding in the es-
| cape of the robber within. The man
in the wagon then drove rapidly away.
I This man answers the description of
, Chris Evans. In the other robber, who
, wore a bandana handkerchief over his
face, the men attacked believe they
! reco nized Ed Morrell. The robber
told them, also, that his name was
j Morrell.
I It is believed here that the bandits,
becoming pressed for food and money,
came down from the mountains deter-
; mined to make a raid. A posse left
this city last night to organize a pur-
j suit from Fowler.

wounded in the right thigh and groin,
