The Senate was - . m l . 3 . 1 A in session lor taree nours to-aay, out only half an hour was passed with open doors, the remainder of the time being given to the consideration of exec utive business and a laree number of nominations were -confirmed. ' During the half hour of open session Senator Allen, Populist, of Nebraska, offered a resolution directing the Secre tary of the Treasury to inform the Sen ate from what source or sources the gold coin of the country, outside of the Treas ury, was increased to the amount of $6,369,000 during the fiscal year, as' stated in his recent report. j Senator Allison, of Iowa, asked Sena tor Allen to read the passage in the Sec retary's report on which the resolution was based. I Senator Allen i did so, and said that there was evidently a mistake in the re port somewhere and that his sole purpose was to have that mistake corrected. , The resolution was agreed to. At 12:30 o'clock the Senate went into executive' session, and adjourned as soon as the doors were re-opened, until Mon day.

He had walked along that portion of the market place of. Washington where the farmers took their stand to 'sell theif products at first hands. After investiga tion he selected an average overcoat, which he showed in the House, which had been bought a year ago for $10 and which had become so rotten that it fell to pieces in rags in hia angry hands, as he became wrought up in indignation, Loud applause greeted his eloquent ob ject lesson. - Mr. Simpson had bought the happy farmer a new overcoat at the same price as the old one, and which, said Mr, Simpson, would last just about as long, Mr. Simpson's., time expired a- A o'clock, and as he resumed his seat, he was rewarded with a burst of applause exceeding any which had vet been be stowed upon a speaker. The next three speakers were all op posed to the Wilson bill and all Repub licans. Thera were nine members present when the House met this evening, and Mr. McKaig, Democrat, addressed the Committee of the Whole, represented by these nine members. He had a large and appreciative audience in the gal leries, however.

The Wilson .low crop estimate had little effect onLiverpopl. where it was expected to exert bullish ifi,.unr.o and' 'the market there was vraotically unchanged. Local feeling, however, was so strong that, notwith standing this disappointment, there was it stead v advance here on active business for ehort interest, while investment buy ing was also an.' influential factor.

We mention Jthis as we hear of s many wanting employment. I the resolution of Mr. Hitt, which was introduced a week ago and referred to that committee. The resolution requests the President to communicate to the House, if not in consistent with the public interest, all information received since his message of December 18, 1893, or which has not been transmitted therewith and is now in his possession touching the recent re ported events in the Hawaiin Islands; or any attempt to overturn the Government therein, and whether any officer or ves sel of the United States has." taken any part in these events, and by whose orders. The Committee on Foreign Affairs recommended that the resolution i be adopted, but the Speaker ruled that, pending the operation of the special order recently adopted by the House, unanimous consent was required to con sider the resolution at this time. Objection was made, and Mr'. Mc Creary then asked that the resolution should lie on the table temporarily with out losing its -privilege, and this was ordered. The Speaker's table being cleared of all executive communications and Sen ate bills, the committees were called for reports, and, none being forthcoming, the House at 11:15 to'clock a. m. went into Committee of tlie Whole to consider the Tariff bill, with Mr. Richardson in the chair. Mr. Brosius, Republican of Pennsyl vania, was recognised and completed the speech in which he was interrupted when the House took a recess yesterday. To show the limited extent to which lo cal goods were used in the States of this country, he read an amusing description which the late Henry W. Grady gave of a burial in Georgia. He said the grave was cut through the solid rock of a mar ble quarry, yet the tombstone over his. head came from Vermont. He was hur ried in the depths of a pine forest, yet his pine coffin came from Cincinnati. He was laid within touch of an iron mine, yet the nails in his coffin were im ported from Pittsburg. He wore a coat from New York and shoes from Cincin nati, leaving him nothing to carry into the next world to remind him of the nnnntrv which was his home but. the chilled blood in his veins and the mar row in his bones. - Mr. Everett.

And before the int nn th McKinlev bill was fairly dry, the popular revolution came at the polls' and the demand for a revision of the tariff went forth, not that it should be amended by its friends, but by the Democratic party. He thought the Wilson bill did not go far enough. Itn free list was not wide enough; but he accepted it as tho best thing that couia be obtained at this time. "The objec tion to tariff tinkering," said Mr. Everett, "comes with very bad grace rrom inose who have changed the tariff some ten times since the protective policy was adopted in the Congress of 1860 and 1861." ! w T?lflf-k. of Georgia, was recognized and devoted a large part of his remarks to a discussion in favor of the income tax. .

Mr. Simpson said that while he in tended to vote for this bill, there were man? propositions in it-' that did not meet with his approval, but, inasmuch aa it was a robber tariff at least 20 per rent, lower than the McKinley bill, he ahnuld have to support its "I am not nne of those." he fcaid. "that ever hoped, or believed that the Democratic party would be able, when the final test came, to carry out its pledges to the people to rid the country of the robber tariff. That party, like the Republican, is under the control of the money power, as was shown irhen they inarched along under Stocks and Bonds in New York The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. I New York, Jan. 12. A better tone characterized the dealings at the Stock Exchange to-day, except in the case of Louisville and Nashville, which fell from 42 to 40, with a subsequent recovery to 42. This was the only stock that did not make a net game for the day. The passing of the dividend "yesterday, and the loss of $73,500 in gross earnings for the first week in January, and of $ 2,000, 000 since July 1, 1893, led to sales for both local and foreign accotrht. At first, the other active stocks yielded slightly in sympathy, but subsequently they cut away from Louisville and Nashville and moved up steadily to the close. Traders were infused with the idea that the Government intended to make a bond issue at once to replenish its gold re serve and bought moderately of the prominent issues. Foreign exchange weakened and this was also in favor of the bulls. Probably the talk about the banks refusing to furnish gold for ex port if the yellow metal should be wanted for that purpose would have had moire effect if the actual rates for Sterling ex change had not fallen considerably be low the exporting point. As to the al leged agreement between the banks not to assist the Government in case a de mand is made for gold for exporting purposes because of the action1 of the House Coinage committee in report ing favorably the bill providing for the issue bf silver certificates on the seigniorage of the bullion in the treasury, it should be stated that the local institutions have always rendered every assistance in their power to the government and are not likely to depart from this policy at this late day.. At least, this is the view the street took of the matter, if the course of prices at the Stock Exchange be any criterion. The improvement ranged from 4 to 2 per cent.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-jThere was a lack of interest shown in the speculative mar ket to-day. But little business was done in wheat, and that principally for local account. May opened at 66c, ranged between 6Gic and 66f to 66Jc. closing at 65 to 66c. 1 he corn market seemed to be in a stflte of coma. A state of quiet and rest pervaded the pit. The fluctations cov ed but i to tc range and they closed fraction over yesterday's. Oats changed but little and the close was about yesterday's-prices. Provisions were quiet to-day. There was a total absence of. the bullish senti ment, and values were as a rule lower. There is a theory extant that the heavy purchases made day before yesterday by leading proiessionai, wno is mostly ientified with the bear Bide Of the mar ket on grain as well as on product, were for a fellow bear who was short a large fine of product at lower prices, and, de siring to lead the trade to believe that the line was -still out, called upon ms friend to do the' covering. At any late, the market to-day was weftker andl the close showed a net loss of 10c on May pork, 5c on May lard and 12i on May ribs. There was an active cash demand, but holdeis showed no disposition to trade. '. : " The Issue to Be Made Monday Night la the Harris-Watkivs Fight ; Licenses fop the Two Mills Is-, sued Club Men Not Afraid of Interference by the . Militia The Matter Still in Doubt. . Jacksonville, Fla.Jan.12. The fight between the Duval Athletic club and the Governor is rapidlv nearinc that stage where some more powerful weapons than words will have to be used; that is, unless should develop that each party to the controversy has only been engaged ma big game of bluff. So far, the contest between the club and the Governor , has waged entirely -with jaws, but next Monday night some other weapon will have to be used by the Gov ernor if tne promoters of prize fights in this State are to be downed. On that date Harris and Watkins, negro pugi lists", are billed to fight at the opera house in thi3 city under -ar ticles of agreement identical with those signed by Corbett and Mitchell. The city licenses for the fight between the negroes and for that between the En glishman and the Calif ornian have been issued ana are now m tne nanas oi tne respective applicants, George Siler and the Uuvai Athletic club, me licenses were issued to-day. , The applications in botb cases, with "the proper change of names and localities, read as follows: "To whom it may concern: - "Whereas, Harry Mason, on behalf of James J. Corbett, of California, and Charles Mitchell, of England, and as re quired by the city of Jacksonville, under and ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to Regulate Exhibitions of Skill in Box ing and Glove Contests," published Jan uary i3,!l894, has given twenty-four hours notice of the purpose to hold and have a glove contest or exhibition of skill in boxing, with the said James J.

The steamship Clyde, from Pernambuco, arrived at South ampton to-day with an officer and thirty nine sailors who sailed from New York on President Peixotto's cruiser Nicthe- roy and who left her at Pernambuco. One of the' men said that the Govern ment agents m Pernambuco ottered them 4i fin a month each and $500 bounty if they would serve on tne lMicmeroy, kui, they refused, as they considered the ves sel unfit for fighting, bhe had been loaded vith'gun powder, dynamite ana cotton wool, yet the natives had persisted in smoking aboard lies, several men had been placed in irons, but eventually sixty-five had succeeded in getting ashore.

They will stay at the Sailors' Home until the sailing of the steamship N.ew - York, which will take them home. One sailor, a German, died of heart disease shortly after landing. - Tne Virginia Oyster Convention. -RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 12. The oyster convention which was held here to-day was largely attended by delegates from all over the Stated-representatives of the oyster counties predominating, however. The object of the convention was to dis seminate information bearing upon the nvator miostion and inspire legislation stimulative of the oyster industry. The convention was presided over by lion. J. Taylor Ellyson, mayor of Richmond, and at the afternoon session most of the members of the General Assembly, and Governor O'Ferrall and ex-Governor McKinney were present. though the application for a license for the match between the negroes is signed bv George Siler, it is the general belief that he is simply acting for the Duval Athletic club. The club hope3 that the contest between the negrops will force the Governor to show his hand. So far, the club has been handi capped by ignorance of the methods which the Governor proposes to use to stop the Corbett-Mitchell mill. Their hope that the' match between the negro4s will clear up this point. ' Governor i Mitchell's contention has been that prize fights are a violation of the laws of Florida. If the contention be true the issuance of the licenses for the j matches amounts to nothing, for the ordinance under which the permits were issued are null and void, as the City Council has no right to pass laws which are in antagonism to the statutes of the State, but the courts have not yet passed on the Governor's conten tion that prize fights are illegal, and the club hopes that the match between the negroes will bring the controversy to an issue. .. . . . I The promoters of the contest have, all along, claimed that they were not afraid of a court decision, but they seemed to want a decision from an inferior court, si it is well known that members of the Supreme court have informed the Gov ernor and Attorney General that prize firhta ara nrohibited bv the ilOrida law. flf the two negroes should be arrested .Monday night and released by the Jack sonville courts, tne ciuo peopio tuuut. that they will have plain sailing for the Corbett-Mitchell match,- as the State cannot appeal to the -Supreme court, the right of appeal in criminal cases lying only with the defendant. The Governor, however, has repeatedly announced that he will regard no decis ion ip the matter save one from the Su preme court, and even if affairs go as the club people hope in the case -of the negroes the action of Governor Mitchell in regard to the Corbett-Mitchell ; mill will still be problematical.

' Washington, Ja n. 12. Mr. Reed, of Maine, will close the tariff debate for the Republicans on the afternoon of Satur day, the 27th inst., and Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Ways and Means com mittee, will perform a similar service for the Democratic majority. The vote on the bill will be taken Monday, the 29th instant. ' ; J The Senate to-day confirmed the fol lowing nominations: John M. B. Sill, of Michigan, Minister Resident and Consul General to Korea; Robert E. Preston, of the District of Columbia, director of the mint. As Indian agents Isaac J. Woof- ten, of Delaware, at the Nevada agencyv Nevada; Charles E. Davis, of Illinois, at the Colorado . River agency, Arizona; George W. Harper, of Georgia, at the Umatiha agencyj Oregon. The follow postmasters were also confirmed: Y. G. Rust, Albany, Ga.; E. W. Rawla, Tar boro, N. C: J. G. White, Abingdon. Va. : and E. M. Morrison, Smithfield,Va. The confirmation of the three Indian agents ends a fight that came over from the extra session. Wootten, of Delaware, was the man against whom the chief opposition was directed. The objection raised against them all was that their nomina tion wa3 repugnant to the Democratic idea of home rule, but against Wootten a special attack had been made. The yote in his case was 32 to 22. In the case of Preston the vote was 37 to 6, a bare quorum. V The Naval Affairs committee, of the House will take up the Holman resolu tion relating to j the payment bf pre miums for excess speed ,by naval Vessels at its meeting next Tuesday. Mr. J. Hale Sypher, who was Mr.- Holman's authority for the allegation of illegal combinations of contractors and naval officials, by which payment of these pre miums was secured, set forth in the pre amble to the resolution, has requested the privilege of, revising the statement he made before the committee. A Cabinet officer (not Secretary Car lisle) stated to-day that the contingency upon which the Secretary of the Treas ury could issue bonds without Congres sional action was when the gold reserve in the treasury was invaded to such a point as, in the judgment of the Secre tary of the Treasury, to ' impair confi dence. That point, he suggested, had been almost, if not quite, reached. Un der the Resumption act, he added, the Secretary of the Treasury, if he deemed it proper, could issue bonds without fur ther authorization of Congress to the ex tent of making the gold reserve intact. At present this would mean n issue of $36,000,000 bonds, the gold reserve hav ing been invaded to that amount. These bonds, of course, would have to be is sued at the ratesjprescribed by the Specie Resumption act, namely, at 4 or 4J per cent. i The adjournment of-the Senate until Mondav may not prevent the transmis sion of the Hawaiian correspondence to Congress to-morrow, although . the prob-1 ability is that it will not be sent in until both Houses are in session again. Cus tom and precedent are against the trans mission of messages of similar import intended for both Senate and House when one only is in session. But custom and pre cedent have not provided for cases where both branches of Congress call for the same matter from the Executive Depart ment by separate resolutions. It is hinted that the President will send in the Wil lis communication to the House to-mor. row because the House called for it inde pendently of the Senate. Every thmg is ready at the State Department for the rans missionofthe correspondence. -It was expected there that copies of all matter received from .Minister Willis by the Cor win would go to both houses this af ternoon, but the President did not give the word. ' The Cabinet meeting began at 11 o'clock,! with all the mem bers present, and continued for three hours and ten minutes. At its close the Cabinet officers refused to say whether the correspondence would go in this week, r Noiinkling was given as to the reason for holding it back, but the suggestion was readily adopted that the President was waiting to hear of the sailing of the steamer Mariposa from San Francisco i for Honolulu before transmitting it,' The Mariposa was scheduled to sail yesterday, but was de tained to await the arrival of the British mail for the Colonies. It was also sug gested that the advices which the over due City of Pekin was expected to bring from Honolulu j were awaited before action was had in tha direction of send ing the correspondence to Congress, OPENING THE CAMPAIGN POPULISTS CALLED ON ORGANIZE AT ONCE.
