A Strong Feeling That This Congress
Will Not Pass a Bill.

Washington, Jan. 2a— Although the
committee on bunking and currency of
the hoube, or, more properly speaking,
the democratic members of the com-
mittee, are still working away an l con-
ferring frequently with the secretary
of the treasury, there ia no indication
that they have agreed upon anything,
or will bo ready to submit u measure to
the house in the near future. Speaker
Crisp goes away for a week or so on tiie
advice of his physician. It is not likely
that any measure of the importance of
the currency bill will be taken up in
his absence. The fact is, although the
members of the banking and currency
committee will not admit it, there is a
feeling about the capitol that the ef-
fort to pass a currency bill through
this congress has been abandoned.
A good many conservative members
of both political parties, at both ends
of the capitol, would be inclined to
take up the bill introduced by John
Sherman, providing for a 8 per cent,
live year bond, to meet a deficit in the
revenues, and recruit the gold reserve,
and permit national banks to isbue
notes to tho full extent of their bonds,
if there was any hope that the free
coinage republican senators would al-
low such a measure to eoine to a vote.
It is well known, however, that the
republican free coinage senators will
not allow a vote to be reached on any
currency or financial scheme that does
not provide for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
All talk of an extra session of the
next congress has about ceased. The
situation in the next congress will not
be materially altered from what it is at
present. The house and senate will be
at odds then as now. The free coinage
element of the senate will be stronger
lu the next congress than it is at pres-
ent. The republican leaders, under-
standing the difficulties thatare bound
to confront them, have no desire for
extra session, and have thrown out
Intimation that if they are called
A extra session, they will regulate the
t roce(fufe in eougress themselves, and
and not be tru' iVl by a presidential
schedule. They have let it, be known
that, if they sire called in extra si
they will b-rrin work by attempting to I
revise the tariff and increasing the rev-
enues of the government unci postpone
the questions upon which they are di- {
vided until the regular session,

"IIK UNION I'ACIFIC It All ROAD.
Washington, Jan. -0.—A petition
from the stockholders of the UsUtti l'a-
cifie was presented yesterday to con-
gress, offering to assess stockholders a
sum sufficient to pay all bonda which
have priority over the lien of the United
States, in consideration of an extension
of the debt of the United States for
fifty years at 2 per cent. The petition
sets forth that the debt for which the
government is responsible, in part,
amounting to *83,580,512, will mature
before the meeting of the Fifty-fourth
congress. Tliey represent that in con-
sequence of the business depression
there has been a marked falling off in
business, amounting to 48 per cent, on
the gross earnings for the first ten
months in 1894, as compared with the
first ten months of 1893, and that this
has resulted in a failure to meet the
Interest of the bonds of various divi-
sions of the road.
The proposition for changes in the
Reilly bill, which were submitted to
the house committee on Pacific rail-
roads by representatives of the Union
Pacific, have been rejected. The vote
taken in committee was unanimously
against adding any material amend-
ments to the measure which is now on
the calendar of the house. The pro-
posal upon which the Union Pacific
laid most stress, a reduction of the rate
of interest on the government debt
from 3 to sfpfr cent, net, met with gen-
eral favor.
Mi. W5mJow tS. Pie1 if couusel for
the f«ould inter -sts, left New York for
St. Loiiis and t is understood that he
will file in the federal court in St. Louis
a petition for the foreclosure of the
first mortgage bonds of the Union Pa-
cific railroad, main line.
Senator-elect Thurston, with a num-
ber of other Union Pacific attorneys,
left Omaha for St. Louis to protect the
interests of the receivers in the fore-
closure proceeding Instituted there.
Now that the entire dismemberment of
the "Overland" is about to be consum-
mated, it is asserted at Union Pacific
headquarters that 2,OIK) men have been

tiation of a treaty providing for the

ences that may arise between the

document has received the signatures
of any nationalist.
HAWAIIAN KOYAL1MTS K19K.
A Niuall Rebellion Under Way and Several
Men Are Hilled.
Washington, Jan. 19. —ICarly this
morning Secretary (Jresham received
formal notice of the rebellion in Ha-
waii between the royalists and the
supporters of the republic, in the shape
of the following dispatch from Minis-
ter Willis:

quiet. Crisis thought to be over, but excite-
ment still intensa Presidont Dole expressed
to me his gratification that no national ship
fcas been in port during tills disturbance. Arms
reported to have been brought from Vancouver
by Norma. Willis.
Soon after he reached the state de-
partment Mr. tiresham sent to the
navy department for Secretary Her-
bert, and the two cabinet officers en-
gaged in a close consultation for half
an hour as to the advisability of send-
ing a United StatdB cruiser to the
islands. Mr. Herbert stated that
the Philadelphia was at Mare island,
Cal., and could start almost immedi-
ately, after taking a few fresh stores
and a little extra coal aboard. She
carries a complement of nearly 400 offi-
cers and men, commanded by Capt.
Colton, and could make the run of 2,000
miles to Honolulu in about six days.
BOND ISSUE UNLIKELY.
Indication* that the Steady Income from
Revenue Reeelpts Will Make More Bonds
Unnecessary.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The heavy
withdrawal |of gold for export from
the sub-treasury at New York to-day,
though not wholly unexpected by the
treasury officials, has intensified the
fear of another bond issue, but the
steady increase in the receipts from cus-
toms and internal revenue sources give
promise of a speedy return to a period
when the receipts will more than equal
the expenditures. It is claimed that
the customs receipts are sure to make
a o/cided advance after February 1,
. hen the spring importations begin,
and that the revenues from whisky
withdrawals for the remainder of the
year are almost certain to reach a
point even above the normal. With
the sugar bounty burden of 912,500,000
a year removed and the prospects of
receipts from the income tax amount-
ing lo #20,000,000 or more on July 1, a

covered by Superintendent Preston, of
the state banking department, who has
beeu at work on the books of the com-
pany for more than a year. He finds

the company, which were of a building
aad loan nature, were made in the city
of lioanoke, Va. Coon is a Virginian.
