Special to the News and Observer. Washington. I) C\, Feb. 4 It looks the President will not issue bouds until Congress ha* an opportunity to vote on the bond bill, preferring to issue bonds by express di rection of Congre s to issuing under present laws. The vote on the Springer bill will tw taken on Thursday. If the House votes to authorize th« issue of bonds, which is probable, the President will feel sufficiently authorized to pre serve the gold reserve. The Democratic bankers in New York City do not like the idea of the President’s consulting through Assistant Secretary Curtis with Repub kcan bankers, but think he should rather defer to the views of Democratic bankers like ex-Gov. FI »werand August Belmont They are resentful over the fact that Stewart A Morgan, who con tributed to elect Harrison, are taken into the confidence of the Administration, rather than old time Democrats. The Republicans are beginning to fear that the Democrats will do nothing with the money question, and that they will have to deal with it. There are su« h great divisions in all parties, that which ever party is called on to legislate, will be defeated. * * * Capt. L. R.

This is the first time that the •ffiee of lieutenant has been filled by a Confederate soldier, and the promotion was made through Mr. Halloek, who was a brave Federal soldier, to show, as he expressed it, that “the war is over.” The offie» of lieutenant increase* Gapt.

A peculiar incident occurred in sonnestion with Mr. Butters’ name. Mr Butters registered at the Ebbitt Sat unlay, the proprietor, Mr. Bunch, mis taking his name for that of Mr. Marion Butler, telephoned the members of the Press that the new Senator elect of North Carolina was there.

Henry E Keehn, ex register of deeds of Forsyth, died of con sump lion in Sa lem this morning, aged 28 years. He ! leaves a wife and two children. A. Stewart, an ex-policeman, died here yesterday of apoplexy, aged 04 years. He served through the civil war and was a brave soldier. lie was wounded in the hip during the battle at Gettysburg, A three thousand dollar residence, owned by ex clerk of the court, W. B.

A six year old colored boy died here last night trom the effects of whiskey which the child drauk with the knowl- I edge of the parents. John Terry Green, colored, was jailed here to-day on the charge of being a professional swindler. He wore a Pull man sleeping car uniform and had a number of bogus telegrams purporting to be from railroad officials, in his satchel.

Guatemala has in the Main Agreed to Mexico's Demands. City or Mexico, Feb. 4. —About 4.000 workingmen marched through the streets of the city to-day and eventually gath ered ia front of the National Palace. They greeted President Diaz with loud cheers and presented to him an address praising the government’s attitude iu the boundary dispute with Guatemala. ; In his reply the President saidJJ that ; the diplomatic controversy present* d no new features as would render war inevi table. The enthusiasm with which he was received gratified the President | greatly, and in private conversation he told the workingmen’s committee that ! he should always be bound to them for their demonstrations ot loyalty. It is stated semi-officially that the out look for peace is more hopeful than ever, Guatemala having in the main agretnl to Mexico’s demands. The general opinion now is there will be no war. The reports in several papers that war would be de clared to day were mere guesses. More over war can be declared only by Con gress, and that this body has not even been convoked. Stories of a central American alliance against Mexico are discredited here, although it is probable that Huuduras, Costa Rica and Nicara gua agreed to lend moral support to Guatemala.

He Passes Away in Ilis73rd year. Special to the News and Observer. Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 4. To day at noon the remains of the late ; General Rufus Barringer were laid to i rest in Elmwood Cemetery. The funeral services were conducted | from the Second Presbyterian - church by j the pastor. Rev. I>r. .J. H Boyd. Ti e people of the city were deeply itn j pressed by the death of 'this distinguished I citizen, which occurred yesterday moru | ing at his home at half past nine o’clock, j and many were unable to gain entrance tithe church. The body was followed to thecem a ter\ I by a long procession of friends both in ; carriages and on foot. Although Charlotte was somewba’ ! prepared for the shock of the decisiv* I tidings Sunday morning, yet the au ! nonneement was, nevertheless, felt as a shock. Immediately it was realized that a great vacancy had come about both ii the city and in the State. For Geneva Barringer had been eminent in North I Carolina both in academic pursuit, in ; arms and in affairs. General Barrie ger was one of eight | children of the late General Paul Barrin ; ger, of Cabarrus county, four sons and ! four daughters. One of h s sisters was j the wife of General Wm. MeaDs. of Oa harms, and the mother of Col. Paul Bar ringer Means, of Concord; another is Mrs. Margaret Grier who, though 86 years of age, was present at the death of her brother. General Barriuger was one of four dis j tiuguished brothers, only one of whom j survives him, namely Judge Victor Bar ; r nger. 'ate Judge in the Court of Egypt; j the other too were the Hon. D. N. Bar ringer, to Spain, and Rev. William Means, a clergyman in the Meth j odist church. j General Barring* r was born in Cabar j rus county in 1822, was graduated from ! Chapel Hill and bred to the law. He followed this profession, with interrup | tions, during his iife. In 1854, he married a daughter of the ; late Rev. Dr. Robert Hall Morrison. : After four years she died, leaving him j two children, Auua, a beautiful girl, | w ho died at the age of 19, and Paul, who I is now Dr. Paul Barringer, a professor , in the University of Virginia. A few years after the death of his first I wife, General Barringer married Miss : Chunn, of Asheville, whose son, Rufus | Barringer, survives her. The third wife of General Barringer was Miss Long, of Or trtge county, whom he married about twenty years ago. The iseue of this marriage is i Osmond, now a student at Davidson ; College. At the outbreak of the civil war, Cap tain Barringer formed a company in Cabarrus county, and went to the front. Having served until the end, he came | back to private life a major-general. He was for some time confined a prisoner m Fort Lafayette, but was nearly all the time in action. He was severely wounded by a ball which entered the mouth, leaving a wound from the effects of which he probably never entirely re covered. As a soldier, he possessed conspicuous courage and skill. Locating in Charlotte at the close of ! the war, he had been one of its promi j nent citizens ever since. Both in his ; profession and iu his business trails i actions he had been successful, and had I accumulated wealth. Much of his time he gave to a deep study | of his State’s history, and he had written much and wisely and strongly both of the deeds of North Carolinians and of the industrial needs and possibilities of i North Carolina. In fact, even i his illness, his mind seemed so colored with a strong desire for the progress of his State, that he sjioke much to friends, young and old, of the problems of man ufact tires and immigration and other industrial features inherent in present conditions, and took much comfort in the seeking of the wholesome remedy. General Barringer was an earnest mem her of the Second Presbyterian Church of this city, of which ho was an Elder, also. He had been oontiued to his room not more than three months. He was un able to take nourishment, ami grew physically weaker day by day. But his mind never lost its eoraposure and clearness. He put his affairs in order with that, exactness which was a marked feature of his character. His son. Dr. Paul Barringer, came to his bedside last week; the rest of the family gathered about, and this re markable man, bidding them a quiet farewell, passed away, seemingly listen ing to the whisper “All is Well l” It is understood that among his lega ! cies were #SOO to the Charlotte Library, ! and #SOO to his old military company. GOLD COMING BACK. Not oar Dollar Received Front Hoad* aow Remain* i* the Treannry. Washington, D. 0., Feb. 4.—The Treasury gold reserve to-day gained #200,000 from natural causes—custom dues and assays—standing at the close of business at #42,033,780. No gold withdrawals were reported to-day. The Treasury Department is paying this month #600.000 interest on the sec ond issue of #50,000,000 bonds made last fall to recoup the Treasury gold re serve. Not on© dollar received from that sale of bonds now remains in the Treasury, all sf it and more having been withdrawn during the past few months. The quarters interest on the first loan of #50.000,000, amounting to a like sum is also being paid this month. STORMY SCENES AGAIN an INTERCHANGE OF HOT WORDS IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE. APPROPRIATION BILL CONSIDERED The Administration Currency Bill Indirectly Responsible tor the Alter cation in the llou*e Between Ihe Two Missourians, Mr. Hatch and Mr. Halt—Seuator Butler and Chandler Also Make Nome Disagreeable Re marks About one Another. Washington, D. 0., Feb 4. —The week opened with a refusal on the part of the House to accept the programme of busi ness outlined for it by the rules com mittee. In the morniug hour the conference report on tho armv appropriation bill whs agreed to and bills were passed granting the right of way through the Indian Territory to the Arkansas and Northwest Railroad Company and pro viding justices of the peace for the terri tory of Alaska. Appropriation Hills. The conference report on the fortifica tions appropriation bill was presented, showing that the conferees had agreed upon all differences except the amount ! of the Senate providing that a contract for fifty breech 'oadiug mortars shall l>e entered into, to cost not more than 1 $0,500 each. This amount was disagreed to. The report was adopted and a fur ther conference requested on this item. The legislative, executive and judicial i appropriation bill was reported from the | appropriations committee. It carries a | t- tal of #21,805,520, being an increase i over the appropriation for the current year of #437,903. The bill carries considerable new leg i-lation which is, however, principally ministerial in character. The reins of the Dockery commission for the simpli fication and improvement of the work in the executive departments, which were embraced in five bills introduced in the House and referred to the appropriations committee, are made part of the present appropriation bill. The bill also provides for the repeal of section 2of the act of May 14th, 1880, for the relief of settlers upon the public lands. Under this act a person whose title to laud was irregular was fre quently made the victim of blackmail and of contests In court which in many cases res til tea the loss of his home. In the opinion of the committee the law has worked so much injustice that it is necessary to repeal it. It is provided, however, that contests and rights al ready initiated shall not be affected by the repeal. An Omnibus Bill Claim. Mr. Catchings reported an order from the rules committee alloting the day to the consideration of an omnibus bill claim providing for the settlement of claims amounting to #718,603. The claims were for certain stores and sup plies reported bv the court of claims un der the act of 1883, known as the “Bow man act.” Before the previous question was ordered on the rule Mr Mahon, (Rep.), of Pennsylvania made the point of order that the Rules Committee bad no juris diction over the bill, as it was still be fore the War Claim Committee aud had never been reported to the House. The opponents of the bill characterized the attempt to bring it lie fore the House as a gross violation of all rules and prece dents, holding that if the Rules Com mittce had power to do so, the various ; coinraitfees of the House might just as j well be abolished. The point of order was discussed for an hour, after which the Speaker over- j ruled the point of order. In this rule he referred to the jurisdiction of the rules , committee and said that the order was ; simply one to discharge a committee of the House from the consideration of sub ject matter. It was no departure, as under such an i order the sugar, iron, coal and barbed j wire bills amending the tariff act were j passed. The previous question of the rule was ordered by a vote of 128 to 95, j after which it was defeated by a vote of * 145 to 95 To Consider the Currency Bill. Mr. Oufhwaite'then presented the rules committee’s order assigning Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday of this week for the consideration of the administration j currency bill. It provides that, amend j ment substitutes may be offered, the j previous question on the bill and all pending amendments to be decided as ordered at half past three o’clock Thursday afteruooD. Tuesday, and Wed nesday till 2 o'clock, is to be devoted to general debate and the remainder of the time to be under the five minute rule. Mr. Outhwaite, in presenting the mat ter to 'he House, stated that “All inter j ests” bad been consulted, and he thought j that there would be no opposition to the rule. This brought Mr. Hatch to his feet. He said that the order did not represent hll interests, but onlv those of the Bank ing and Currency Committee and the hanks. He represented the other side— the great agricultural interests of the country —and he was now trying to have the agricultural appropriation bill considered. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Outhwaite) was mistaken if he thought there would be no opposition to ti e order. He hoped that the rule would be withdrawn, aud the agrieul tural bill taken up. Things Grow Warm Mr. Hall (Democrat), of Maine, said that the statement of Mr. Hatch was 1 i false, and that he (Mr. Hatch) did not J know what went on in the hanking and | currency committee, if he did he would i not have made the statement that only the interests of banks were considered. Mr. Hatch, in a feud and angry voice. ; replied that he did know, and that was | why he made the statement If the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Hall) | could produce a single bill reported from j the banking and currency committee | which whs not in the interest of banks, ihe would withdraw the s'atemeuts; otherwi»e he would not. “And I want . to say,” continued Mr. Hatch, “that the language used by the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Hall) was such that he i would uot use to mo outide the House.” This remark caused considerable ox j citement and members began to gather around the two Missourians. Speaker ! Crisp rapped loudly and repeatedly for ; order, and failing to get it ordered the sergeant-at arms to request the members ; to take their seats. After a few minutes order was re ! stored and Mr. Outhwaite said that it was evident that there was no intent to ! discuss the order, and he therefore de | mauded the previous question on it, cut ! ting off debate. His demand was sus j taiued, though some signs of filibuster ing were shown, and the order was adopted. Other Matter* Considered. Saturday the 23d instant at 2 p ra. waa | set apart for the delivery of eulogies on j the late Senator Stockhridge of Michigan. The agricultural appropriation bill | was taken up on motion by Mr. Hatch, | chairman of the committee on Agrieul ! tore, and after being discussed for two ; houis was passed. It carries a total ap propriation of #8,277,150. The Hawaiian correspondence called for in the resolution of the House on the j Ist instant, was laid beforo the House | and ordered to Ire proved. Tho afternoon of February 20th was | set apart for the deliverance of eulogies | upon the late Representative Post, of Illinois. By unanimous consent asked by Mr. Springer (Democrat) ot 111., the hour of meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, when the cur rency bill comes up, was fixed for 11 o’clock a. m. At 5:25 the House adjourned. BANK ROBBERS AT WORK. They Blew Open the Vault and Se cured Some $65,000. Fremont, Ohio, Feb. 4. Five masked men entered the town of Milan last night and at 4 o’clock this rooming blew open (he vault in tho Lockwood Bank. The explosion was so great that it wrecked the building in which the hank was lo cated and awakened the entire popula tion The citizens poured into the streets iu time to seo the thieves drive off in a buggv toward Sandusky.

THE DAY IN THE SENATE. Coa*i«lcration ©f lh<* District of ( olum bia Appropriation Bill ItcMimrit. Washington, D. C , Feb, 4. The Vice President laid before the Senate a com munication from the StX'retary of the j Treasury stating in reply to a resolution j of inquiry that “It is believed that for ! the twelve months ending December 31 1895. the revenues of the government : from all sources w ill exceed ordinary ex ponses by #23 503,000.” Senator Vilms reported from the judici a'y committee a bill to permit Associate Justice Jackson, of the United States Su i oreme Court, to retire, and asked for its | immediate consideration, but objection j was made by Senator A Ulrich and the ’ bill went over for the present. At t:4O the consideration of the Dis i triet of Columbia appropriation bill was j resumed.

In the last moments just beforo ad journment thero was an angry alterca tion bet ween Senators Butler and Chand ler but it went no farther than an inter change of disagreeable remarks, having been cut off by a declaration by the pre siding officer (Mr. Blanchard), that a pending motion for adjournment had been carried.

The Senate, at 0:10 p m , adjoarn SUFFERING IN NEBRASKA.. Complaints ol the Manner I© whir Relief i* tiring Distrlbated, ! Chicago, 111., Feb. 4—A special from i Omaha says: Complaints of ihe manner in which the busiuess of the State relief commission is being administered come thicker than ever now that the severe cold weather of the Nebraska winter has set in. In uot a few instances these complaints have been traced to proses sional paupers whose persistent mendi caney is rewarded by support m idlenci.., but it is equally true that those deserving of need are left, out because of the lack of efficient methods of relief distribution On February Ist seventy seven ears of goods for the succor of the destitute were held in Lincoln in the Burlington ware house awaiting shipping orders. Pota toes were frozen hard, kraut had buret the barrels in which it was packed and the brine was leaking over goods stored around it. Fresh beef was piled care lessly among other articles of food and the heterogeneous collection of iapplies gathered iu the impetuous generosity of the thousands who have contributed tu it, give evidence of surprising lack ot system in the conduct of the relief com mission’s affairs, Before an appropriation was made by the State, the Burlington road had ceased to haul the ears free, but the other roads in the State continue to bill relief free from the application of Score tary Luddeu, of the commission. The State has appropriated #50,000, of which will lx* used in paying freight. It is uow t the intention of the legisla tive committee to hasten the work as much as possible. Hundreds of letters, are received every day by the enromis sinners begging for assistance, and with the immense amount of material stored at Lincoln, the authorities are deterro iued that the relief must lie furnished. THE RECEIVERS REMOVED. That waa Judge Groaacap'fl Off Id th© Whinkcy Tru*l Case. Chicago, Ills , Feb. 4.—ln the United States Circuit Court this morning Judge Grosscup removed Joseph Greenhutfrom the receivership of the whiskey trust and appointed John O. McNulta and John J. Mitchell to act with Mr. Lawrence, - who was appointed a receiver when Mr. Greenhut was appointed. General Me Nulta will be the principal or directing receiver. He officiated in that capacity duriDg several years for the Wabash sys tem of railroads. In delivering his opinion, Judge Gross cup took occasion to score stock jobbing directors of corporations and declared that Mr. Greenhut’s action in applying for a receivership was simply an imposf tion upon the court. Judge Grosscup also felt it due to himself to declare that the action of the court in the first r© ceivership proceedings was not unusual or improper. The opinion of the court is quite long and goes into the condition of affaire that led up to the receivership. The judge finds that both sides admit that * receivership is necessary and that the question i* merely as to the personnel of the receivers. Catholic Benevolent Lc*ioa.
