Minister Willis' Interview with tbe Et -Queen-She Reluctantly Agrees to Amnesty The Refusal of " President Dole to Vacate The Matter to be Left to Congress for Final Action. Washington, Jan. 13. The President sent in the Hawaiian correspondence to Congress just as soon as the House met As the steamer Mariposa, conveying the latest telegraphic instructions to Minister Willis, advising that he might now con sider his "special instructions fully com plied with" and that further action must be dictated by Congress, sailed fram San Francisco at2 o'clock this morning, there was no danger of those instruc tions reaching Minister Willis first through the newspapers, which is said to have been the chief motive for post poning the message, until to-day, not withstanding that this postponement de prives the Senate, which adjourned yes terday till Monday, of the opportunity of receiving the message at the same time as the House. All department es timates of the length of the correspond ence were far exceeded by the documents themselves. Ten or twelve thousand words was the estimated limit of their length, but the documents as laid before Congress will probably make. 40,000 or 50,000 words when printed in full. The most important feature of the correspondence was, of course, Minister Willis' dispatch No. 3. of November 10th, 1893; which the President had previously withheld from publication. Next to, that in interest was President Dole's caustic reply to Minister Willis' demand for surrender, which, however, had pre viously been anticipated to some extent in the Honolulu dispatches. Between these two terminal points in the correspondence Minister Willis' graphic history of current events and his comments upon the character of the Queen's advisers and tbe kind of Govern ment she desired to maintain, if re-established, form a running thread of absorb ing interest. The single exception mentioned by President Cleveland as being still with held froRU Congress,- is explained by Representative McCreary chairman, of the House Committee on Foreign Affaire, to be a letter from Minister Stevens to Secretary Foster," dated October 8, 1S92. Mr. McCreary said that although he had read that letter he, of course, could say nothing about it. He said he would call up the question for consideration im mediately after the Tariff bill had been disposed of. The President's message accompany ing the correspondence is as follows: Executive Mansion, ) Jan. 13, 194. ) 'To The Congress: "I transmit herewith copies of all dis patches from our Minister at Hawaii re lating in any way to political affairs in that country, except such as have been heretofore laid before Congress. I also transmit a copy of the last instructions sent to' our Minister, dated January 12, 1S94 being, the only instructions to him not already'sent to the Congress. "In transmitting certain correspond ence with my message dated December 18, 1S93, I withheld a dispatch from our present Minister numbered 3 and dated November 16. 1893, and also a dispatch irom our former .Minister, numoereu 7'', film UillCU V.7V.

No one was present at the half hour interview which followed, her nv,iimiMrkm hivine been taken to ah- 1 nt her room, aid Consul General Mills, I who had invited her to come, remaining in the front of tbe house, o prevent m- ! irrnntion j "After a formal greeting, the Queen was-informed that the President of the United State hod important communi cations to make to cer, ana sne was ftsked whether she was willing t,p receive them alone and in confidence, assuring her that this was for her own interest ' and safety. She answered in the af j rirmative. . I "I then made known to her the ; Presi ' dent's sincere regret that through the I unauthorized intervention of the United 1 States she had been obliged to surrender her cvereignty, and his hope mat' wun hei" consent and co-operation the wrong done to her and to her people might be redressed. To this eh, bowed her ac knowledgments. I then said ta her: 'The President expecus u ucuuicn wi., when-reinsUfcM, you will show forgive hpss and magnanimity; that you will wi-di to be the Queen of au Jhe people; botli native and foreign born; that you will mak haste to. secure their love and loyaltv and to eeiablish peace, friendship and good government.' . To this she made no reply, acd after waiting moment I continued: "tha President not onlT tenders you his sym pathy but wishes to help- you. Before fully making known to yon his purposes, I desire to know whether you are willing to answer certain questions which it is mv duty to ask? . "She ans veered, 'I am willing. .t ot-uH hot- 'Should vou be re- Btored to the throne, wou"! you grant -U amnesty to life nd property ! a11 ih ne-ons who have betn or who are nowirth frisioual Governmwit, or Who have been instruirital in the over throw of your Government? I "She hesitated a moment' and tnen slowly and calmly answered: 'There are certain laws of my Government by which I shall abide. My decisins would be as the law directs, that . such, persons should be beheaded and their property confiscated to the Government' "I then said, repeating very distinctly her words: 'It is your feeling that these twnle should be beheaded and their property confiscated?' "She replied, 'It is.' 1 "I then said to her: 'Do you fully understand the meaning of every word wbieh I have said to you and of every word which vou have savi to me, and if so do 3'OU still have the same opinion? ' "Her answer was: "I have understood and mean all I have said, but I might Lave tbe decL-ioa of tins to my Mmls- teTp this I replied 'Suppose it was necessary to make a decision before you ;S any Ministers, and that you Sbd toissue a royal procbomation of gwwral amnesty, would jou do it? "She answered: 'I have no legal right to do that and I would not do iw Paus ing a moment she continued : 'These peo ple were the cause of the revolution and constitution oi ltraf. inere will never be any peace while they are here. They must De sent out ot the country or pun- isnea ana their property confiscated. VI then said: 'I have no further com munication to make to you now, and will have none until I hear .from mv Government,- which will probably be three or four weeks.' "Nothing was said for several minutes. when I asked her whether she was willing w give me the names or four of her most trusted friends, as I might, within a day or two, consider it my duty to hold a consultation with them in her pres. nee. She assented, and gave me these names: J.'O. Carter, John Richard son, Joseph Nawahi and Joseph i McFar lane. : .c - i s "I then inquired whether she had any fear for safety at her present residence, Washington sauare.' " j ub repuea that she did have some fears; that while she had trusty friends that guarded her house every night, they were armed only with clubs, and that men shabbily dressed had been often seen prowling about the adjoining prem ises a school house with a large yard; I informed her that I was authorized by the President to offer her protection, either on one of our; warships or at tne Legation, and desired her to accept the offer at once, but she declined, saying that she believed it was best for her at present to remain at her residence. I then said to her that at any mome'nt, night or day, this offer of our Govern ment was open to her accentance. ine interview thereupon, after some personal remark, was brought to a close. "Upon reflection, I concluded not to hold any consultation at pres nt with the Queen 8 friands, as they have no of ficial position and, furthermore, because I fear, if know to so many, her declara tions might become public to her great detriment if not danger, and to the in terruption of the plans of eur Govern ment. "J. O. Carter is a brother of H. A. P. Carter, the former Hawaiian Minister to the United States, and is conceded td be a man of high character, integrity and intelligence. He is about 55 years fid. He has had no public experience. Mac Farlane, like Carter, is of white parent ageiVis an unmarried man, about 42 years old, and is engaged in the Com mission Dusiness. Me has had no public experience. John Richardson is a young man of about do years. He is a cousin of Samuel Parker, the 'half-caste, who was a member of the Queen's Cabinet at the time of the last revolution. He is a resident of Maui, being designated in the directory of 1889 as 'attorney at law, stock raiser and proprietor of" the Bismarck livery stable.' Richardson is half-caste." . Jcseph Nawahai is a full blooded native, practices law in the na tive courts and has a moderate English education. He has served some years in the Legislature, but displays very little knowledge of the structure and philoso phy or tne uovtrnment which he so long represented. He is 51 years old, and is paesident of the Native Hawaiian political club. ' "u pon being asked to name three of the most prominent native leaders, she gaye me the names of John E. Bush, R. . Wilcox, and modestly added. I am a leader.' John E, Bush is a man of considerable ability but his reputation is very Dad. K. W. W llcox is the notori ous half-breed who engineered the revo lution of 1889. Of all these men. Carter and MacFarlane are the only two to whom the ministerial bureaus could be safely entrusted. In conversation with Sam Parker and also with Joseph Naw ahai it was ,plainly evident that the Queen's implied condemnation of the Constitution of 1887 was fully endorsed by them. r rom these and other facts which have been developed, I feel satisfied that t here will be a concerted movement, in the event of restoration, for the over throw of that constitution which would mean the overthrow : of constitutional and limited Government and the abso lute dominion of the Queen. Tlte law referred to by the Queen is Chap. .VI, Sec. 9, of the penal code, as follows: 'Whoever shall commit the crime of treason shall suffer the punish ment of death, and all his property1 shall be confiscated to the Government.' There are under this law no degress of treason. Plotting alone carries with it the death sentence. "I need hardly add in conclusion, that the tension of feeling is so great that the promptest action is necessary to prevent disastrous consequences. i I am, etc., I Albert S. Wui-is." , The remainder of the, correspondence relates to recent events in the history of the Hawaiian muddle which i have be come public from time to time. They include the subsequent signing by the Queen of her amnesty agreement, the presentation by Mr. Willis.of the agree ment to President Dole, with a demand upon the Proyisional Government for the reinstatement of the Queen and Mr. Doles' prompt reiection of the demand. The whole concludes with a copy of the last ' instructions sent Mr. Willis by steamer which sailed from San Francisco twlAV- ... Mr. Dole s reply was delivered by him self nersonally to Mr. Willis at midnight ,f TWfmher 23rd and was sent to San Francisco by the revenue cutter Corwin, P'.illi-nx-intr re extracts IroOi it; i ' While we accept the decision of the President of the United States declining further to consider the annexation propo sition as the final conclusion of the pres cnt administration, we do not feel in- iini to rpsnrd it as the last word of the American Government upon this sub ject. We shall theretoe continue tne project of political union with the United States as a conspicuous feature of our foreign nolicv. confidently hoping that, sooner or later, it will be crowned with success to the lasting benefit t)f both countries."' " Mr. Dole then goes on to say in direct terms that the Provisional Government does not recognize the right of tqe Pres ident of the United States to interfere in the domestic affairs of Hawaii, and KflVR. My position is briefly this: If the American forces illegallv assisted the revolutionists in the establishment of the Provisional Government, that Govern ment is not responsible for their ' wrong doing. It was' purely a private matter for discipline between the United States (Wivemment and its own officers. There ia. I submit, no precedent in in mationBl Jaw for the theory that such actlc-a ci m? auktu States' authoritv over the . M affairs of this Government. Should it be true, as you hare suggested, that ' the American Government-has made itself Responsible to the Queen; who, it is alleged, lost her throne through such actioa, that is not a matter for me to discuss, except to submit that if such be, the case it is a matter for the Ameri can Government and her to settle be tween them. This Government, a recognized jsovereign power, equal in authority with the United States Gov ernment and enjoying diplomatic rela tions with it, cannot be destroyed by it for the sake of discharging its obliga tions to the ex-Queen. Upon these grounds, Mr. Minister, in behalf of my Government, I respectfully protest against the usurpation of its authority as suggested by 4he language of your communication."

WILMINGTON, THE TARIFF DEBATE. A DRY STJBJEST ENLIVENED BY SPRIGHTLY REPARTEE. Mr. Turner Charges Republicans With Ingratitude to tbe Confed - erate Constitution His Bout With Mr. Xteed BXr. Cock ran Advocates Ijow Tariff Tbe Willis V Dispatches. Washington, Jan. 13. There was not the usual crowd in the galleries when the House convened at 11 o'clock, and there was but a slim attendance on the floor. I Immediately after the reading of yes terday's journal the President's message, transmitting the supplementary . Hawai ian correspondence to Congress, was laid before the House. No one objected to its reference to the Committee on For eign Affairs and no one asked for the rea ling of the instructions or correspond ence, i fir. Richardson j of Tennessee, asked unanimous consent to dispense with the call of committees for renprt3, which was ordered, and at 11:10 o'clock the House went into Committee of the Whole to consider the Tariff bilL Mr. Pickler,- Republican, of South Dakota, was recognized. He addressed the committee in opposition to the Wil son bill. His State being principally en gaged in agriculture, he confined his re marks almost entirely to the agricultural features of the bill. Mr. Turner, Democrat, of Georgia, was the next speaker. He said: "A few days ago the gentleman from Michigan (Bur rows) had arraigned this bill as having been framed on the sympathies of South ern men, and on the principles of the Confederate Constitution. That allusion to the principles of the Confederate Con stitution is an ancient ehestnut in tariff debates. If I were making the constitu tion for a new Utopia, I would put into its fundamental lawthe principles which have been the occasion of so much dis cussion, the Kepubhcan party should have a greater reverence for the Confed erate Constitution, for it was to the ex istence of the Confederate Constitution for four years that the Republican party owes its existence." His chief regret for the civil war and for his part in it resulted from the consciousness that its results had gone to the enemies of free dom, the enemies of our commerce, the eneraies of the best interests of our coun try, and had put on the people of the country the oppression of a protective tariff. "Therefore," he said, "let the gentleman from Michigan speak rever ently of the Confederacy as I have learned to reverence George IV, who gave George Washington to the world, and for this reason, if for no other, Re publicans should walk lightly over the grave of the Southern Confederacy." He had a very amusing bout with Mr. Keen, in the course of which he stated that ho had admired his political acumen and statesmanship, but he had never been able to agree with him on the matter of a legal decision. "The gentle man from Maine," said he. "has been a sort of reformer in his day." He honored him for his martyrdom and for his ad herence to his principles, but, morejthan all, he admired mm "for his invention of a quorum.". Mr. Turner s speech held tne attention of the entire House and gallery, and was frequently interrupted by laughter and applause, and as he took his seat the up roar became so marked and so long con tinued that the chairman had great dif ficulty in securing order for the next peaker. Mr Grosvenor, of Ohio, then addressed the House in opposition to the bill. At 1:50 o clock the tune for Mr. Oros- venor expired and Mr. Bourke Cockran was recognized. ! Mr. Cockran said he had consented to speak, partly because he did not believe he would retardThe passage of the bill by so doing, arid partly in the hope that some of his remarks might lead to some counter-assertions from the Republicans. Objection had been made to the bill on the ground that it would not raise j enough revenue for the use of the Gov- ernment. The objection pre-supposed 1 that the red iction of tariff rates means a reduction f tariff receipts. If he be lieved that this bill would reduce the revenuej he would not support it. He believed, on the contrary, that the reve- j nues would be increased by decreasing I the tariff, and his belief was based on I the experience of all the civilized nations of the world. Gentlemen here had said that the reduction of the tariff would paralyze trade and destroy the in dustries of the country.) He denied it. On the contrary, he asserted that if would increase trades j would increase consumption, enlarge jour markets, and would, not only increase the revenues ot the Government, but would also in creasethe opportunities of the people to earn the money they need for existence. He challenged a remark made by Mr. 1 Dingley, which that gentleman repeated: "That if there 6houid oe an increase or imports by $250,000,000 of such goods as we ought to produce for ourselves, that fact would decrease production oi this country to f2o0,000,000 and carry out of the country the difference in gold." Mr. Cockran held this to be ah absurdity and asked on what basis can we expect to carry on trade on his theory of pros perity that it.is better to get money from abroad than to get goods. The gentle man from Maine thinks that if we have d tribute .of $250,000,000 in monay we are better off than if we have a tribute of "250,000,000 in goods. i'Xm I righf in that?" Mr. Dingley made no reply until Mr. Cockran pressed him, when he said; "My proposition is simply thisi That any pol icy that leads to the importation of goods such as we ought to produce ourselves, deprives our labor of the opportunities of making these goods and inevitably tends to reduce the opportunities for la bor in this country, and tends to produce the evil of which I spoke in my speech." At this point Mr. Walker, Republican, of Massachusetts rose and asked if Mr Cockran would yield to him. - "Yes. of course," said Mr. Cochran, "in order to promote the gaiety of the discussion." "I wish to ask the gentleman," Mr. Walker went on, "whether he thinks that if every dollars worth of cotton or woolen goods used in this country were gent in from abroad and given away for nothing, tie gift would be an advantage to this country''" i Mr. Cockran professed to not under stand this question. - Thri f will reneat." said Mr. Walker. "Mv point is that u is that if an absolute giis i 1 i oil tha were made cotton goods or all the woollen goods j III III IT tUUUUT Ul v- consumed in it, thus shutting up our imilla and stopping the circulation of money, it would be the greatest purge that I can conceive of." "f think it is a curse," said Mr. Cock ran, "whloh the people of Massachusetts would cheerfully submit to. If I under stand the theory of the gentleman from Maine an importation of $250,000,000 of goods which we could manufacture our selves would be a startling event, preg nant with mischief and dangerous to the prosperity of the country, while he eenii to talk of the importation Of monev as something- which indicates great "prosperity and a happy condition of the country. I venture to state that, as between the importation of money N. C, SUNDAY. JANUARY 14, 1894. and the importation of goods I would rather, for general prosperity, have an importation of goods." When Mr. Cocknm's time expired Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky, who was to follow, yielded his time and Mr. Cock ran went on with his speech and his amusing colloquy with Mr. Walker. The Wilson bill, be. said, was a step in the direction of economic reform and the commercial freedom of the country. 'Let us pass the bill," he continued, "and I promise yott that it will take more than six months of hard times to put soup kitchens fei every city. Mr. Wilson told us, in wfcrds which will last long after he has disappeared from - this scene of his actiyityl which he has done so much to adorn, thnt the prosperity of this country depends not on the tariff, but on its labor; not on its mines, but on its men; not on the Republican party, but on Almighty God:" Addressing himself to the Republican party, he said that the Democrats found it harder to do justice than they had to do injustice. "We will keep on," he said, "until a policy of freedom shall take the place of protection and repres sion." He said that the Wilson bill was not perfect in all particulars. Many ar ticles had been left on the dutiable list on the principle that a man who had been engaged on a prolonged debauch would die it his whiskey wa? . cut off too sud denly. When Mr. Cockran sat down there was an outburst of applause such as has rarely been witnessed ,in the history of the House. Cheer after cheer rang out from the galleries, which the chairman - was powerless to reprtas. And when it fa.ad appeared that tpe crowd had got area oi cneenng, thej enthusiasm broke out again and again, with cries of "vote, vote." ;" When the turmoil had somewhat sub sided Mr, Taylor, Republican, of Ten nessee, spoke in opposition to the bill. At 5:30 o'clock the committee rose and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock this eyening. COMMTCECIAf, NEWS. Stocks and Bonds in jNew York The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. New York, Jan. 13. -There was very little doing in the stock market to-day. The undertone was strong, the efforts to create uneasiness regarding the position of the banks in the eveat of a revival of gold shipments being o set by the more favorable trade reports nd the decision of the Ways and Me; committee not to tack the Tariff bill." income tax matter on the This was considered as meaning an early decision so far as the Wilson bill is concerned. The further accumulation of money at" this centre was another point in favor of the bulls, the banks having gained $6,787 on the 25 per cent, surplus reserve. They now hold $93,583,675 above the legal requirements. This breaks the record once more. Manhattan was one of the strongest stocks oh the list, advancing from 122 to 123i on light transactions. The refusal of the general term of the Supreme court to confirm the report of the commission for a cross town elevated system led to some covering by- the bears, who put out short contracts early in the week. The general market first advanced i to J per cent., then lost most of this gain, but in the final transactions was firm again tinder the leadership of Sugar and left off at or near the best figures of the day. The prpminent stocks recorded net gains of te 1 J per cent, for the day. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were irregular. Sales of listed stocks were 58,000 shares; unlisted 0,000. Chicago, Jan. 13. The day in the grain markets was a dull and uneventful one, and the general tendency down ward. Wheat closed c above its lowest price with a net loss of to Jc for the day. The range of prices in corn was i to c and the net loss was Jc. Oats opened tc below yesterday's close and closed -Jc higher. Provisions were weaker on a larger ex cess of hogs than were expected to ar rive and a corresponding decline in their price. After somfr decline; had been made there appeared a good demand for pork, which carried the price of that article oyer yesterday's close.; Lard and ribs, however, did not participate in the reaction. May pork gained 5c for the day. May lard lost 10c and May rib3 closed 5c lower than yesterday. There was a good domestic chipping demand, but continental inquiry was quiet. The Foreign and domestic markets were both steady. m r A Free Fight iu a Court House. Richmond, a., Jan. 13. A Staunton special to the Dispatch says: Bitterness of feeling between our citizens, engen dered by the agitation of the local option liquor' license question, culminated Jthis evening in a knock-down-drag-out light, and that too in the court house in the presence of the Judge. The Hustings court was engaged all the afternoon in hearing a petition for a "wet" or "dry" election. Attorney Gordon, in the course of cer- 1 tain remarks, said that there were those among the movers of the petition who were iu it for revenue only, and added, "I do! not except Fred Dillard." John Noonlwho is. prominent in Republican and jfrohibition circles, shouted: pronounce that a lie in open court. Gordon broke towards foon, but friends pf all parties intervening, he failed to reach his man, and apologized to the court. This concluded, the court immediately adjourned, and Gordon and Noon, both behind the bar, with fists up, began to spar, and the 6et-to between Gordon and noon was in an instant taken up all over the room. Fists struck out with Cor I bett-like quickness, and in the twinkling ' of an eye sticks were whackijag heads, blood was spouting from bruised faces, " and the men in the mad scramble were piled four deep on the - floor in frenzied fight. I While the melee was at its height ' chair was hurled from the negro-packed gallery to the floor, cutting Mr. William T. McCue on tne nead. ine city ser- feant and sheriff strove to quell the fight ut it was an impossibility to down the fighters. Fortunately no pistols were djaw and no body was seriously in jured, " Worsted Mill Burned. HARmsvTLLE, R. I., Jan. 13. The worsted mill owned by William Tink-r ham and operated by him and his son Ernst, under the firm name of William Tinkham & Son, was totally destroyed by fire which started a little before mid night last night and burned until 6 o'clock this morning. The loss is $320, 000 on the mill property and $150,000 on the stock. The insurance in tha Manu facturers' Mutual company is placed at fc&KKMO on the njiH and80,000 on stock. .

Toward Developing Their Kaolin Mines-ltaiding Blockade Stills -Farmers Patting Up Large Quantities of Pork A Badly Scared Reve nue Officer. Messenger Bureau, 1 Raleigh. Jan. 13. J The local cotton receipts in this mar ket this season to date are 21,27o bales against 17,893 last season. The week's receipts are 264 bales, against 77 last year. j it is said that Mr. II. 13. Raney of this city; will become the State agent of one of the largest and best known life insur ance companies. j I James IL Southgate of Durham is to deliver an address to the public in a few days in the interest of the Epworth League. . i There is a strong sentiment among the best class of people against public exe cutions. This is aroused by the order for the public execution of DeGraff . the Winston murderer. Mr. T. K. Bmner says that thus far he has not received a single sample of kaolin, or china clay, from the deposits of it in this State, despite his earnest re quests. It is wanted to send to the Jap anese commissioner. There arejover twenty known deposits in the State. The negligence of the owners of these properties in not sending specimens is amazing, 'ihe samples were to have been sent to Japan and there given free tests. Japanese workmen from two prov inces were to be brought here and make the china in this State. Mr. Bruner feels greatly discouraged at the indifference Bhoiynsby people here in thus establish ing a new industry. The Japanese com- missioner, Mr. Koadzumi. has written himj another letter stating that no sam ples as yet have reached him.. The North Carolina kaolin is known to be of hiffh quality. A posse of revenue ofheers left here last night on a raid. There are several illicit distilleries in this 'section. Thev are hard to capture. trovernor Carr is expected to return Monday from his hunting trip to South Carolina. Mr. John C. Scarborough left? to-dav for Johnston i county, to be absent a week. I The farmers are pleased at the chanee in the weather, as the cold snap enables them to finish the killing of hogs. The amount of pork put up or to be put up in this county this season is positively said to be the largest fince the war. Nearly all the farmers have many hogs. ine revenue people ten a good story on a storekeeper and gauger of Sanford. By law these men are required to stay at the still warehouse. This particular one left and went to a store hot far away. On his way back he met Deputy Collec tor W. C. Troy. He' knew the latter. though Mr. Troy did not know him. He made a bee line through the woods for the still, while Mr. Troy drove there. The storekeeper beat him in the race, and when Mr. Troy arrived the poor fellow was so entirely out of breath that he vas speechless., Mr. Troy did not recognize him, so great was the change caused by fright and the hard run, and he escaped a reprimand. A BOND ISSUE. Secretary Carlisle to Issue $30,O00,r OOO in Bonds if Congress Does N ot : Come to His Belief. Washington, Jan. 1'6. From well informed sources it is ascertained that there is a strong probability that if Con gress fails to come to his relief within the next fifteen days Secretary Carlisle may deem it necessary to issue $30,000. 000 of bonds, under the Resumption act, for the purpose of maintaining the gold reserve intact. "The bonds, if issued will be sold only for gold, but the details as to how long they will run, at what price sold and how placed on the mar ket, ! etc., have not-' -.as yet been considered. This proposed plan of the Secretary, it is said, is the result of careful consideration, and, of course, meets with the approval of the Presi dent. The small amount of the proposed jssqe, it is understood, has been deter mined upon simply to tide the treasury over it3:needs until Congress can take up the whole financial question and dispose of it. Should Congress, within the next fifteen days, by resolution or other wise, meet the present treasury needs, Secretary Carlisle will refrain from acting on his own responsibility, but should it fail to act in that tima a bond issue to the amount stated, it is be lieved, will be made. Secretary Carlisle, it is said, would personally favor the coiaage of the silvar seigniorage, if the law permitted him to toll it off and coin it, but tbe seigniorage obtainable from .the coinage of the silver bullion is so small and would come in so slowly that it would not be nearly sufficient to meet the present emergency. Sensational Statement from Capt I j Harry Jackson. Atlanta, Jan. 13. A very sensational . i i . i 1 j-i j statement nas Deen given oiw, py iapc Harry Jackson in regarjd to the Redwine case. It is in the nature of a renew of the case and the pathetic defence of his dead son, Tom Cobb Jackson7 who sui cided. Me says of his son; "Exoited, drinking, reeklesf , it is true. but always talking and acting in a man ner entirely inconsistent with the mar velous story told by Redwine. So con stant were his denunciations in the bank that the president came to my house and earnestly requested that l get him home. It was in my effort to carry ont this, rs- ouest that he terminated ' bis life. gad he not ' fixed the if at! aliot hb ' one would have paid the slightest attention to the creations of the disordered brain of Redwine, cre ations which followed the death of -the man who had attempted to defend him. Upon the Redwine trial I did not make a single objection to testimony by which it was sought to implicate my son. Much of it was illegal, but I felt that it could do no harm to the case on trial, so I let all come in. 1 Thank God it amounted only to the disordered ravings of an un fortunate, self-convicted man. Let jus tice be done to the dead and the iiving, thongh the heavens fall," Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report SOUTHERN PINES.
