Nkw York, Dec. 5 London'sent a sensa- tionaP'rumor about Atchison before the opening here, cable advices alleging that a receivership for the company was immi nent. It was said that Atchison had been unable to borrow money to meet the $3,- '00,000 interest due on January 1st next. In addition; the railway earnings to hand for the fourth week and month of November were uniformly' unavorable. ; : London backed its opinion of Atchison's financial condition by selling something like 10.000 shares of the stock. Atchison ; securities sold at their lowest in the first hour of busi ness when the stock touched 18i and the 4's47. At the figures given the securities show losses of 2t to 3i per cent, compared with yesterday s hnals. The tailing off in rail way earnings led to a recession of 4 to 1 per cent in other issues. After midday General Electric, Sugar, Big Four and Western Unk a were in demand, rising i to 2 per cent., Sugar leading.

Contract for Gunboats Awarded ; Significant ' Omissions of Depart ment Estimates - Finishing Toncneaon the Tariff Bill s. , -, Indecision as to ' In- ' eouie Tax No Silver '! ' Ijegislatlon. - ' : i Washington, Dec. 5. Secretary Herbert to-day awarded the contract for two of the three gunboata, for construction of which bids were recently opened, to the x Newport News Ship and ; Dry Dock company, of Newport News, Va., at Its bid of $280,000 for each vessel. Award for construction of the third gunboat, which differs somewhat in design from others, was held in abeyance until some additional information concern ing the character of bids offered by the Union Iron works, of San Francisco, could be obtained. The Newport News company was lowest bidder on all three yessels. It has had no experience in construction of ships of war. and Secretary Herbert insti tuted careful inquiry to ascertain whether the company was in position to build ships. After satisfying himself that it was stable financially and otherwise he decided to give it the contract for a pair of similar design, known as "twin guaboata." : The interna revenue bureau of the Treas ury Department is beginning to receive claims for sugar bounty on this year's crop, and the first payments have been made at the treasury. The sugar season in Califor nia began in September and one firm has already filed claims for 15,000,000 pounds of be it sugar, a considerably increased produc tion over that of last season. The Louisiana sugar season began in October. Commis sioner Miller estimates that it will require $11,000.1)00 to pay this saason's bounty. So far $400,000 has" been paid. Two omissions, regarded as significant, have been noticed by the treasary officials in the estimates submitted to the Secretary by the heads of the various departments and by him transmitted to Congress. Secre tary Uresham failed to include in ' the State Department's estimates $30,000. for the bureau of American' republics. An esti mate of this amount was incorporated in the State Department's estimates for the cur rent year and its absence now is looked upon as indicative 01 the purpose of the Secretary to disintegrate or abolish the bureau, at least so tar as the United States is interested in its maintenance. Secretary Morton, in accordance with the suggestion contained in his annual report, failed to incorporate in the Agricultural Department estimates the sum of $720,0 ; 0 for fortv-eight agricultural experiments, one for each State and Territory. Ever since 1883, it is stated, an item for this service has been found in the Agricultural Department estimates. ' At .the meeting of the Senate Finance committee this morning it was indicated that there will probably be' no financial legislation at this Congressional session, at least until long alter the tariff has been dis posed of . There was no positive action taken. but the general drift of the talk of those Senators who joined their forces in securing the passage of the Sherman . Repeal law showed plainly that there was to be no resurrection of silver legislation and no en tertaining of financial measures of any sort or character. The tariff was a fruit ful topic for the discussion that, in a more or less, informal manner, occupied the hour the committee was in session. Should there be hearings on the tariff when the bill came before the Senate, or should these hearings be commenced now, were two questions that were propounded, and which, when the committee adiourned. had not been answered. The Democratic mem bers of the committee agreed thai the peo ple interested in the tariff should be given the opportunity of being heard, but the im pression gaiuereu uy iue viepuoncans was that the committee would insist that these hearings should take place before the bill passed the House. This position was com batted by the Republicans, who asserted that those interested in the tariff schedules did not disire to address themselves to an abstract subject. but to the direct question of rates. These rates, the Republican members of the com- mitt insisted, were more than liKely to be something quite different in the bill as it comes to the benate, train the rates that are in tie bill recently made public. Senator oorhees, chairman ot the full committee. appointed the following sub-committee on the tariff: Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman, and Senators McPherson and Vest, Democrats, and Aldnch and Allison, Republicans. All of the Democrats are new members, the Democratic representa tion on the old sub-committee haying charge of this matter being Senators Har ris and Carlisle. The former was omitted from the present sub-committee at his own request. Secretary Carlisle to-day received a dis patch from San Francisco, announcing the departure at 11:30 o'clock last night of the United states revenue cutter cor win, capt Munger, for Honolulu. One passenger only was carried by the Corwin and he was a representative of the State Department at W Washington with messages and othcial docu ments for Minister wiuis, the accredited representative of the United States to Ha waiian Government. The corwin was de layed sailing until last night so that the State Department reports could receive a printed copy of that portion of the Presi dent's message concerning the Hawaiian question, and also further -instructions for the guidance ot Minister n uns in the light of recent events. Who this one passenger is cannot be ascertained here, and even the fact of the Corwin having sailed for Honolulu is regarded in official circles in Washington as an executive secret. ' At .the lull meeting ot the Ways and Means committee- this morning the ' re mainder of the comparative statement. showing the changes in ; the tariff rates made by the. new - bill 1 were presented to , each member. The session was de voted to a general discussion of some of the minor mistakes which crept into the prjnted copy, as a result 01 the hasty prepa ration of the measure. It was decided that no runner sessions or tne juu committee snail be held until next Monday, at which time tne lariir scnenuies win oe taxen np for consideration and amendment.

No such conclu sion, it is said, can be haa Until the amount of the deficit for the next fiscal year is known and the data from the Treasury Department and census office bearing upon the subject are receiyed. Moreover, thecom- rorf tee is apparently giving little heed to the member expressed it to-day, 'are still in tae air." The inconsistencies and incongruities in the administrative features that have been productive of endless litigation. . are how beinir considered and pnon these As sistant Secretary Hamlin, : or the Treasury Department, is giving the committee the benent 01 his suguetnians. chairman vv 11 son believes thai no more than three days will be devoted to a discussion of the tariff schedules by the full committee. If this expectation be realized, that portion of the hill may be reported to the House about ten davs hence. : It will be accompanied by the report of the niSJCTI'y members, which Mr, lison is now writing. Shortly before 3 o'clock Chairman Wilson and nearly all of the Democratic members of the committee met and continued the conference with Assistant Secretary Himlin until 6 o'clock, when a recess was taken until this evening at the treasury. Much of the bill was gone over, the object of the meeting beipg to correct the phraseology and verify the figures from an administra tion standpoint. The Republican members of the committee were not invited to the meet ing, and ex-Speaker Reed, who had occasion to visit his committee room while the ses sion was in progress, was denied admittance.

MASSET QN SAM JONES. Rev. John E. Massey Publishes a Card Oivins His Opinion of the Georgia Evangelist. 1 Atlanta, Dec. 5 Bey. John E. Massey, of Richmond, Va., publishes a card here re plying to some criticisms made by Rev. Sam Jones. Mr. Jones wrote some salty things about Parson Massey recently and now the latter is back in proper style. Were they not gentlemen of the ploth the correspond ence could reasonably; be expected to lead to hostilities. Mr. Massey and Mr. Jones met on the stamp in the recent Virginia cam. paign. Mr. Jones confined himself chiefly to the neighborhood, of Staunton -where a prohibition fight was on. ; Mr. Massey says: "I care but little about Mr. Jones' hypocritical cant, his. self-laudations or his oombastic boastings. They are part and parcel of him. He would not be 'Sam Jones without them. It is as natural for him to sound his own praise as it is for sparks to ascend." J ' j i Referring to certain! statements made by Mr. Jones, Mr. Massey remarks: "I will not characterize these misstatements as slan ders, as that would be; equivalent to charg ing the reverend Sam : Jones with making false statements maliciously, but I will sav it requires the exercise of an unusual de gree of charity to believe he -did not know tnese statements were untrue and that thev did great injustice to those of whom he wrote." ; Mr, Massey goes on to "sav: ' ''Thn Staunton contains nearly, if not quite 10,000 inhabitants.

The cause of temperance suf fered from intemperate advocacy. - x disuse to speaK 01 myseli. and even when the necessity fot doing so is 'forced upon me, will restrict I myself to the nar row limits compatible with a DroDer vindi cation of myself from Mr. Jones. From my boyhood I have not only ab t .lined from the use of intoxicants. but have been an enthusiastic advocate of temperance. I have made many temper ance addresses and have gone to different parts of the State to assist in local option elections. I was largely instrumental in the passage of the i local I option law and the Sunday Liquor Slaw, which prevents liquor dealers from opening their places of business on Sunday, of the Minor Liiquor law, which forbids giving or selling intoxicants to minors with- t out me consent or their parents or guardians, and I am now president of the State Temperance Association of Virginia. 1 beg pardon tor saying so much of mvself. but Mr. Jones' wanton attack has rendered it necessary. I understand that he repeat? his calumnies even in his socalled sermons. If these calumnies had been uttered in; Virginia where I am known it would be unnecessary for me to contradict them, and I am consoled by the thought that though they are made m States in which I am not personally known, the fact that Mr. Jones is known will render them powerless to4do me much harm. His re peated reference to me and tour discussion indicates that he is still writhing under his oiauutun excoriation. AN ASSIGNMENT Caused by the Defalcation of the Head Bookkeeper His Attempt ,. at Suicide, j New Yobk, Dec. 5. N. J. Schloss & Co., wholesale dealers in and manufacturing of boy's clothing, at Nos. 553 and 655 Broadway! assigned to-day to Simon Wolf, giving 27 percent. The only amount mentioned S tne importers ana iTaaers bank, $20,000, The liabilities are between $450,000 and $500,000. Two months ago they claimed assets pf $1,200,000 in stocks and accounts. Joseph H, Lewis, head bookkeeper for Schloss & Co. and treasurer of a land com pany at No. 171 Broadway, was arrested this afternoon at the Union Square hotel and brought to police headquarters in an ambu lance. He attempted suicide at tSe hotel early to-day by inhaling gas. The fact was reported to the police who made an investi gation and . discovered that Lewis had em bezzled money belonging to his employers. He was beld on a charge of larceny and arj attempted suieide. . ' ' ' The htm became suspicious of Lewis and yesterday they began investigating his ac counts, when Ije discovered the fact. He left the store, went to the hotel and regis tered as J. Hern. He was found at 6 o'clock this morning unconscious from inhaling gas, which was escaping from the unliehted burners. A physician brought him around. Attorneys for the firm say that they were compelled to assign on account of the defal cation which they thought reached at least $50,000, The preferences in the assignment are to loan creditors. j ' Session of the National Baptist Con ApousiA, Ga:, Dec. 5. The eleventh an? nual session of the National Baptist con gress convened in Augusta to-night in the First Baptist church. The church possesses historic interests for Baptists from the fact that the Southern Baptist convention was organized within its. walls. 1 . The attendance on the congress numbers some of the most distinguished Baptists in the country. The opening session to-night discussed "The Church and the Money Powei," and the speakers were Rev. W. H. P. Faunoe, of the Fifth Avenue church,' New York; Rev. Walter Rauscinbusch. of the Second German church, of New York, and secretary of the congress, and Dr. Gam brill, of Georgia, president of Mercer Uni versity, i Governor Northen, of Georgia, is presi dent of the Congress.

Senator Dolph's Onslaught Upon the President's Course in the Hawai- , lan Matrer Foreign Interfer ence Justifiable to Prevent Bestoratiou of the Queen 1 . Other Congressional -,' j Proceedings. . Jv ' SENATE. Washington, Dec. 5. Senator Sherman presented a large number of petitions from soldieof the late war, without regard to party, praying for an investigation into the pension bureau. Senator Hoar off ered a resolution requiring the President, sqfar as may not be incom patible with the public interests, to commu nicate to the Senate copies of all instructions which may haye beenXgiven to any repre sentative of the United States or any naval officer thereof since March 4th, 1881, for the protection of the lives anb property of American citizens, or the recognition or sup port of any Government. . V. Senator Sherman said that, while he was in favor of the resolution, he thought it should not be acted on in the absence of the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Re lations. Senator Morgan,: and it was allowed to lie over for the present. -1 . The remainder of the day's session was consumed by a speech from Senator Dolph adverse to the administration's policy onthe subject of the Hawaiian Islands. He inti mated that that policy was the result of a desire on the part of the present administra tion to discredit the action and policy of its predecessors, and expressed the desire that President Cleveland had been a little more explicit as to how he'-prorxxted to undo the alleged, wrong and to restore the former status. He assumed, however, that some thing more than moral suasion was to be used . and he declared that no greater crime against : civilization could . be committed than - the restoration of a dissipated, corrupt Queen. Even foreign Governments, he said, would be justified in interfering to prevent Buch an act, and to preserve the existing Government jf the islands. He indorsed the declaration of John A. Kasson, mad? in a newspaper in terview, that the use of force to overthrow . the present Government of the islands would be worse than piracy and would re semble assassination. He said that this was not the first time that Mr. Cleveland's for eign policy against the extension of Ameri can influence had been shown: In his first administration he had withdrawn from the Senate the Nicaragua treaty which would have secured , to the United States the control of the Nicaraguan canal. If Mr. Cleveland had been friendly to that project then the canal might now beconrpleted and in operation: but, under the do-nothing policy of the administration, the opportu nity had been lost. The country heeded an aggressive foreign policy. It needed a re affirmation of the Monroe doctrine as popu larly understood. The Hawaiian' islands were so near the coast of the United States as to be of great commercial and naval im portance. .1 Mr. Blount's report. Senator Dolph said, was more like the plea of a zealous lawyer in a private controversy than like the un projudiced and impartialdecision of a judge He (Dolph) would sooner take the state ment of Minister Stevens, a man who had reached his 73rd year and had spent years in the foreign service of his country. - He would sooner take the Statement of Mr. Thurston, the representative of the Hawaiian Government. He would sooner take the statement of honorable men who had been engaged in the rebellion and who knew not only what was done, but what the intention of parties was. He would sooner take the testimony which came from the enlightened portion of the community in Hawaii than take the --: one-sided colored, report of Mr. Blount and the statement of the President in regard to affairs in Ha waii. He . preferred the statements of Mr. Stevens and those other reputable men to the statements of all the admirers of the Queen aod of all the parasites who had lived on the native Government.- The House resolutions of respect for and to the memory of Representative O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, were presented and adopted and the Senate at 2 o clock p. m. adjourned. i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, At the expiration of the morning hour Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, asked that the journal of yesterday be corrected so as to show that the roll was called by States and not in alphabetical order. He said that when he mentioned the subject yesterday the gentleman from Maine (Reed) objected and thereoy endeavored to deprive the States of some of their rights. Mr. Boutelle. of Maine, created some mer riment by suggesting thi t he did not think any sue should object to centralization of power after the executive document which had been received yesterday. 1 On mo ion of Mr. Oates, the Bankruptcy bill was taken np and on further motion it was decided that general debate shall be limited to six and one-half hours, four of which shall be controlled by Mr. Bailey, of Texas, and two and a half by Mr. Oates. Mr. Terry, of Arkansas, then spoke in op position to the bill. .No interest was mani fested in the Bankruptcy bill and only a few of Mr. Terry's immediate neighbors list ened to his remarks. - ' Mr. Lay ton. of Ohio, spoke in favor of the bill, and Mr Breitz, of Indiana, both DenjQ- crais. against it. M'- Stockdale, of Massachussetts, spoke at length against the measure. He was op posed to the involuntary bankruptcy fea tures, which, he said, constituted the chief portion of the proposed legislation. He be lieved that the liberties of the people in this country were in more danger from the Fed eral judiciary Jian from any other power. Mr. Boatner then spoke briefly in favor of the bill. .. - -' 1 - - ,- Mr. Springer offered a resolution, -which was agreed to, authorizing the architect of the Capitol to erect a temporary platform in the old hall of the House of Representatives 10 oe us o to-morrow aiternoon in connec tion with the ceremonies attendant upon un veiling the statue to Gen.
