The Tariff Bill Open for Amendment Chairman "Wilson Offers Quite a Number Mr. Bontelle Again Throws the House Into Dis order Over His Hawai ian " Resolution of Inquiry. SENATE. Washington,' Jan. 15. When the Sec retary began to read the journal of Fri day last, there were only two seats occu pied on the Democratic side of the Cham ber, one of them by the Populist Senator from South Dakota, while the Republi can side was represented by ' at 'least a dozen Senators. Before the reading of the journal was finished, many Senators entered the Chamber. 1 The resolution adopted by the Portland, Oregon, Chamber of Commerce, con demning the statements of Governor Pennoyer, in his Christmas day open let ter to the President, as to the impover ished condition of the people of Oregon, as injurious and not warranted by the facts, was presented by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, and read and referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. Senator Hill rose to move to go into executive session, but first asked Senator Gallinger,- of New Hampshire, who had given notice of an intention to address the Senate to-day on the Tariff question, whether he would be willing to postpone his speech till to-morrow, to which he replied that and he would prefer to post pone it till to-morrow. At la :42 o clock the floor and galleries were cleared, the doors locked and the Senate was shut up Jin executive ses sion m the unamoer in order to wrestle in undisturbed privacy, with the qu s tidn of the nomination of Judge Horn- blower, of New York, as Associate Jus tice of the bupreme court of the United States. The result of the session was the rejection of the nomination by a ma jority of 6 votes. ; lne doors remained closed : until 7 o'clock, at which hour the senate ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The close of the general debate on the Wilson bill had the effect of thinning out the attendance of members on the floor and of visitors in the gallery. On the Democratic side, in particular, was this attenuation apparent, and only about thirty Democratic members were present at the beginning of to-day's session. Mr. tsoutelle endeavored to call up his Hawaiian resolution. He maintained that the House could not so bind itself by its rules as to preclude the exercise of the right to consider questions concern ing its privileges. The introduction of the Hawaiian question into the House had its usual effect, and in ainoment" the House was in,an uproar, lhe bpeaKer endeavored to secure order, but his poundings had about as, much effect in calming the stormy waters as a . phial of oil would have on a West Indian cyclone. Mr. McMillian demanded that the special order be adhered to. Mr. Boutelle expressed his indignation that Mr. McMillin and his Democratic associates : should he willing to i lend themselves to the infamous scheme of "smothering" the Hawaiian question, and should blind themselves to the de grading position in which the President was placing the country. " I The speaker said that there was some limit, even to the rights of the gentle man from Maine to violate the rules of the House. There must be somewhere a power in the majority of the House to support its rules and to insist that they should be respected and to take some ac tion to restrain a gentleman who per sisted, dav after dav. in violating the rules of the House, . and he compelled , Mr. Boutelle to resume his seat, At 11 :?5 the clerks began to read the Wilson bill, relieving each other .about every fifteen minutes. It required two hours and twenty-three minutes to read the bill, Jeven at the rapid rate at which the plerks proceeded. Immediately alter tne reaaine: oi tne bill Chairman Wilson suggested that for three days the bill - should be open to amendment by sections instead of hav ing amendments offered at any point in thA hill mdiscriminately, and he was recognized to offer the first amendment to the bill. This was to the tobacco schedule and struck out the words "com mercially known as so as to mase it read: "On all leaf tobacco or such part thereof as is wrapper tobacco and suit able for cigar wrappers, if Unstemmed, $i per pound; if stemmed, $1.2o per pound. Mr. wnson expiaineu mat iua for offerinar the amendment was in order to simplify phe bill, and lessen tne cnance oi iipruviaiuu uciuj, .- As soon as the nrit amendment nau . . . l 3 been thus disposed of. Mr. Burrows jumped to his feet and announced that he wished to offer an amendment, but the chair stated !that Mr. Wilson had hpf n recoemized. On this hinged a very interesting de bate as to Mr. Wilson s nerht to be recog nized a second time before any one. else had offered anv amendments. The chair held that the Committee on Ways and Means had a right to offer as ipany amendments as it wished to a bill of its own. and that Mr. Wilson, as chairman nf the committee, had this right. The soundness of this ruling was dis puted bv Messrs. Burrows, Reed and other Eepublicans, but the.- ruling was enforced bv the statement that the ques tinn nf recognition rests largely in the discretion of the cbair, - .! Mr. Wilson proposed an amendment adding New Zealand hemp to the cable anH p.nnlafp section asreed to. Mr. Wilson's next amendment placed cotton duck in the da per cent, list agreed to. . Mr. Wilson's next amendment was to Dlace upon the free list sweat-leathers, binding's, braids and tins, when cut to lpneths for trimming wool or felt hats. The amendment gave rise to a heated discussion, in the course of which Mr, Payne, Republican, asked Mr. DeForest, Democrat, of Connecticut, who was ad vocating the amendment, whether it had been suggested by him. Mr. DeForest admitted that it had been and he spoke of the 4,000 hatters in Banbury, Conn., who had been shut out by their employers under pretence that thev were afraid of the effects of the passage of the Wilson Bill. Nothing, he said, could be more false than that ob iection. The fast was that the- suspen sion of operations in Danbuary by the hat manufacturers w?js due to the per sistent attempt on their part to crush oi: the trades unions. That effort had been carried oa almost since the time the McKinley bill weinto operation. "The manufacturers claim. ' ??ii Mr. Payne, "that they must pay lower wages on account of a reduction of the tariff." ':They said it was necessary," said Mr. DeForest, "to reduce wages on account of domestic competition." Mr. Cockran broke into the discussion at this point and askejd Mr. DeForest whether he rriteant to maintain that rate of wages depeaded upon trades union or whether it depended upon the law of supply and demand? "I do not want, he added, when Mr. Payne began to make some general statement, "miscella neous information, but information on 1 the subject." - "You must first," Mr. Payne replied, "give the manufacturer the ability to pay the wages as a condition precedent." "But will he do it." asked Mr. Cock ran impetuously. He will not do it of bis own free will. Mr. Payne admitted, unless he is com pelled to by trades unions. The trades unions will compel him, and can compel him. The crowds in the galleries caught up this declaration and cheered it with might and main the chairman mean time endeavoring to restrain the dis order. The debate on the hat trimmings amendment occupied the remainder of the session and when it was concluded the amendment was agreed to, the com mittee rose and the House at 5:30 o'clock took a recess until 8 o'clock this' evening. The concluding debate of the after noon was one of the brightest and most interesting or. tne session. Mr. (Jock ran bore the brunt of it on the Democratic side and had arrayed against him Messrs. Reed, Boutelle and Payne, with occas ional help from, other Republicans. It took the form for the most part of a run ning fire of repartee and the galleries I added their contribution to the general ! interest by frequent outbursts of uncon trollable applause. At the night session" Mr. Powers; Re publican. oDuoaed the bill sod -Messrs. Bpeh," Wilson and Huasc to, Populis'e, supported it. Mr. Boen proposed, as a substitute bill, a bill permitting the free entry of manufactured articles when sent in exchange for agricultural pro- ducrs. ; At 10:20 o'clock the House adjourned. COMMTSRCIAIj NEWS. Stocks and Bonds In New Vork The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. New York, Jan. 15. A strong tone characterized the dealing at the (Stock Exchange to-day. As on Saturday, the trading element was imbued with the belief that Secretary Carlisle will have to issue short term bonds to tide the treasury over its dimculties. They ar gued that this would release a pile of money and probably start up the fires of speculation afresh. A bond issue is the one thing needed, so the more sanguine profess to believe, to bring into active circulation the tremendous amount of capital now lying idle at this point. In cidentally the heavy esastbound ship ments from Chicago, 129,000 tons for the past week, and purchases of about 7,000 shares of various stocks for London accounts, had a stimulating influence, and the announce ment that the Reading receivers and the general meeting of bondholders had agreed upon a line of action for the re organization of the company had a good effect. There will be no voing trust and no assessments on the stock. The steady appreciation in prices after midday frightened the bears into covering, and in the last half hour of business brokers who had sold Burlington and Quincy at 73f'and Western Union at 84 J early in the day, were the heaviest buyers of these and other stocks. Lackawanna jumped. 2 points to 166 and was, later, bid for at 168, with no stock offered below 175. Morris and Essex rose to 150. The improvement otherwise ranged from i to 2 per cent, and was most marked in American Tobacco,-the Grang ers, Big Four, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, Louisville and Canada Southern and Lake Shore. The advance wasweii maintained and the market leftff at the top of the day. Business was a little more active, the sales footing up 189,000 shares. Of the specialties, Evansville and Terre Haute rose 5 points to 60 and Hocking Valley, preferred, fell 3 to 65. Kauway aud miscellaneous bonds were active and strong. ' Chicago, Jan. 15. The sentiment at the start of the wheat market to-day was a bearish one, and it continued to exer cise a depressing influence on prices until within an hour of the close, when rumors of a bond issue by the Government be came rife, resulting in a complete change in the feeling, .trices reacted and even went beyond Saturday's close, but a 8ijght recession carried them off to about the position they were at the end of the last session.

VIGOROUS OPPOSITION TO THE CONFIRMATION OF JUDGE HORNBLOWER. . Senator Hill Leads the Opposition He Makes it a Text for an Attack Upon the Administration The Williams-Settle Case Ar Cued. in Committee " , Marshal Carroll Confirmed. Washington, Jan. 15. The House Committee on Elections to-day discussed for several liS&rs, without reaching an agreement, the contested election case of Williams against Settle, from the Fifth North Carolina district. The" case comes up again to-morrow, when it is expected a vote will be reached. The Senate has confirmed the nomina tion of O. J. Carroll, of North Carolina, to be marshal for the Eastern district of North Carolina. The. regular meeting-' of the Senate Committee ten Finance to-morrow wiil discuss the subject of a bond issue, and it is not impossible that a bill will be re ported on that subject, although it can not be done without strenuous opposition on the part of the silver men of the country who will urge that the seignior age growing out of the purchase of sil ver builion shall first be coined. The Senate went into Executive session at 12:12 o'clock and almost as soon as the doors were closed Senator Hill called t.h hnth. .T.iior on tne llornblower Q0 t support of the adverse report rretfthat committee until 2:15 o'clock. It is un derstood that he went into this case in detail and made a vigorous speech in op position to the conhrmationon the erround that Judge Hornblower was not qual ified to sit upon ' the " SuDreme bench of the United States and that, in corroboration of these statements and in support of the report of the committee. he laid betore the senate the letters and other documents which had been before the committee. He did not, according to current report, omit to discuss the political phase of the case, but on the contrary, made some very plain state ments as to the reasons why; from his point of view, the nomination was made and insisted upon. He also held that the action of the President was the first step in the direction of a complete overthrow unless the Executive be checked of the Senatorial prerogative, and he appealed to Senators, regard less of party, to stand by the report of the Judiciary committee, a report that was non-partisan in ite character, and which emanated from one of the 1 greatest committees of the Senate. He urged Senators to use that judgment they were called upon to exercise under the Constitution, and to exercise it unde- a k V- " "Jl: i terred by the fear of the Executive patronage or favor. His entire speech indicted, it is saidj a vigorous opposition to the administration. Senator Hill was followed by Senator Vilas, a member of the Judiciary com mittee and one of the administration Senators on that committee. He sought to refute the allegations concerning Judge Hornblower's incapacity to fill the position to which he was nominated,' but, it is understood, did not permit himself to be diverted into a political discussion of the case. The Democrats generally appeared to take little interest in the debate, a fact emphasized by their long absence from the Chamber. Senators Gorman and Ran som, during the great part of the tame consumed by Senators Hill and Vilas were at luncheon. Senator Pugh, chairman of the Judi ciary committee, upheld the report and attacked the ability of JudgeHornbbwer. lie also entered somewhat into the po litical conditions surrounding this nomi nation, and endorsed what Senator Hill had said in his opening speech. After benator r"ugh had finished speak ing there were indications on the part of some favorable to an adjournment, leav ing the case pending. This was opposed by Senator Hill, who desired to leave for New York to-night at 11:35 o'clock, and by other Senators who wanted to get away to attend the meeting of the New York Bar association at Albany Wednes day. A continuous session was agreed upon and Senator Higgins followed Senator Pugh in a characteristic speech antago nizing the confirmation. The other Republicans who spoke were Senators Mitchell of Oregon, Piatt and Hoar, the last two named making strong speeches favoring confirmation. There was an entire absence of personality during the debate, which was, on the contrary, good natured and good humored, despite the wide difference of opinion between the contending forces. Senator Oray rephed to Senator iiul s personal appeal, and said he regretted such an issue had not been made upon an appointment that was istnctiy local to the State the Senator represented, and i s . - e 'xi. - : i T tnac wmcn tne oenate was consiuenug. It was 6:45 o'clock p. m., just six hours after the doors were closed, when the yea and nay roil can was had. a it teen minutes later the doors opened ana tne smiling faces of the anti-administration Senators indicated plainly what the re sult was. Judge Hornblower had been defeated. The majority against him was 6, the total vote being 30 against confir mation and 24 for confirmation. FACTORIES TO START UP.

Secretary Carlisle Publishes a State ment Showinjr the Deplorable Con dition of the Treasury Imme diate Relief Needed Badly Washington, Jan. 15. Secretary Car lisle has deemed it proper to make pub lic, through a letter addressed to Sena tor Voorhees, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, with whom he has been in consultation for several day?, an authentic statement of the present critical condition of the United States treasury and of its (urgent needs. The secretary "says: ; "In compliance with your verbal re quest, I have the honor to submit, for the consideration of the Finance com mittee of the Senate, statements show ing the actual condition of the treasury on the 12th day of the present month and an estimate ofthe receipts and expendi tures during the remainder of this month and the inontb; of February. It will be seen from these statements that there is an urgent necessity for j such immediate action as will replenish the coin reserve, and enable this department to continue the payment tif public expenses And dis charge the obligations j of theiovern ment to-' pensioners and other lawful creditors. ; I ! When my annual report was pre pared, it was . estimated that the expenses during" the current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount of about $28,000,000, and I asked Congress for authority to issue or sell bonds or others forms of obligations, to an amount not exceeding $50,000,000, bearing a low rate of interest and having reasonably short time to run. tn pnnhla I the Secretary of the Treasury to supply ! SUCh deficiencies as micht. nmnr. in tho ucuutjuura as nugm occur in tne 1 lue estimate men made was . r.' t . , , 1 - j tJS.J 'v.ui.uu,uui urn uiiiuxuuu uiaturuances had already been realized and that there would be a substantial (increase in the revenues for the remainder of the year. While it was not believed that the defi ciency actually existing would be sup plied by increased revenues in the future, it was hoped that no additional deficiency would occur; but the receipts and expenditures , during the month of December andrup to thq 12th day of the present month.show that the estimate of a deficiency of- $28,000,000 at the close of the year was too low.:' The Secretary then presents a table of receipts, expenditures and deficiencies for each month of the fiscal year, in cluding twelve days in January, showing a total excess of expenditures over re ceipts of 43.55g,044. Mr. Carlisle says if the same avej-age monthly deficiencies should occur the total difference between receipts and expenditures on the 30th day of June neyt will be $78,167,532. According to the j best estimate that can be made, the total receipts during the present month, and the month of February will be $41,900,000, and the to tal expenditures will be $60,300,000, " " ff iq nnX Cf Vv,! Z f 18'K)'00)- But thls ?oe.3 ot include any payments on account of the sugar bounty, claims for which to the amount of nearly $5,000,000 have already been presented, and are now under in vestigation in the department. The statement of the condition of the treasury is presented from which the Secretary says it will appear that the coin reserve has been reduced to $74,- 108,149, and it L evident from the con- dition of the treasury that the depart ; ment will have no means to defray the ordinary expenses of the Goyerment un j less a large part of the payments are ' hereafter made out of that fund. If this is done, the coin reserve will be reduced by the 1st of February to about $66,601,- 864, a sum wholly in adequate for the purposes which it was created. "On account of tins critical condition of the Treasury" says Mr. Carlisle, "I have considered it my duty, in addition to the earnest recommendations con tained in my annual report, to appear twice before your Committee and after : full explanations of the situation, urge prompt legislative action on this subject. j With the permission of the committee, I have prepared and presented for its con sideration a bill, which, if promptly passed, would, in my opinion,! meet all the requirements of the situation by pro viding the necessary j means for defray ing the public expenses and replenishing the coin reserve lb such an extent as to assure the maintenance of the parity of ' all forms of United States currency, j While this proposed measure of relief has not ye" been, disposed oi or consid ered by the committee, the great differ j ences of opinion which are known to ex I ist in both branches of Congress concern j ing thejjropriety of granting additional , or amended authority to issue bonds in any form or for any purpose, i render it : doubtful whether new legislation upon ' the subject can be secured in time to provide the means which are imperitiyely demandad in order to preserve the honor of the Government, i Authority to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of main taining specie bayments was expressly i conferred upon the Secretary of lreas j ury by the act of January 4, l7a, out s it has not been exercised snce la7y, and ! Qn account of the high rate of interest t . t i i .i i . . 1. provided for, and the length of time such bonds would have to run., I have not been satisfied that such an emergency has heretofore existed as would clearly jus tify their issue. But the necessity for relief at this time is urgent, and the prospect of material improvement in the financial condition of the Govern ment is so problematical that, unless authority to issue and sell shorter bonds or other obligations bearing a lower rate of interest than that specified in the existing law is granted by Congress at a very early day, I shall feel constrained by a sense of public duty to exercise the power already comerrea to tne extent, at least, of providing an adequate coin reserve." i ,:, "If this action should be taken, Con- gress ought, nevertheless, to provide Tvromrtlv for the deficiency in the reve nues during tne curreui Jtau , auu t will from time to time advise your com nitcec of the condition of the treasury in order tnat mis BUDject may receive due consideration, i The bill referred to in SecretaryCarlisle's letter empowers him to issue from time to time, as he may deem necessary, and in such form as he" may prescribe, coupon ' or registered bonds of the United States ! in denominations of $25 and multiples thereof, redeemable in coin at the pleas ure, of the United States after years from date, bearing 3 per cent, interest, and to use the proceeds to supply the deficiency m the revenues.

When time was called at 9 o'clock there was a large crowd present. "Billy" Taylor, the well known sport, was referee, and Pat Reedy ,J a local pugilist, was time timekeeper. The two "Coons" held the bottles. Chief of -Police Keefe, repre senting the city, and Deputy Sheriff Vansant, representing Sheriff Broward and the State were on the stage. As soon as time was called the two negroes went at it viciously. After some sharp in-fighting they broke away and almost immediately Watkins got an opening and landed a heavy right on Harris stomach, following it up with a savage swing that caught his opponent on the corner of the left eve, the blood spurting from the blow, this was en tirely too hot for Harris and he refused to continue, saying he had been drunk all day and was in no condition to fight. The decision therefore went to Watkins, also .four-fifths of the $50 purse, the other $10 going to Harris time 1:20. inis summary end of the bout hv no means pleased the crowd and t.Vipv h- gan to shout, Fake, Fake,'? The man agement then wanted to put up local talent against Watkins, but Chief of Po lice Keefe said that the license called for a meeting between Harris and Watkins and no other men would be allowed to fight under that license. Then the management urged Harris to onn. tinue the fight, but Deputy Sheriff Van zant arose and said if the men went to gether as they had he would arrest them. The men then sparred four friendly rounds, Watkins outpointing Harris. The blow Harris got on the eve was a fearful one. Watkins' left eye" was also cut, '. Sheriff Broward this mormnar wird Governor Metohell for instructions as to his course in regard to the meeting be tween the negroes but if he received any reply he did not divulge its nature. The club people to-night are talking of swearing out warrants against the negroes in the morning, thus bringing the prize fight question into the courts. with the hope of getting a decision that will enable them to briDg about the Cor- oeti-iuiicneu ngnt. the club people are disannointwl that. the State authorities took no action to stop the contest. They were hopeful till the last moment that Governor Mitchell would interfere, thereby . showing his hand and giving them an iea of what might be expected if Corbett and Mitch ell meet, but the Governor, it is said, has never intended to interfere with the fight between the negroes, believing that it was similar a "dummy" affair, arranged by the club to draw him out, with the intention of gaining some point in the legal complications which State inter ference would have brought about. which might be used to advantage in the attempt to bring Corbett and Mitch ell together, - . lhe Governor, however, is rather 'foxy" himself, and so he kfDthis hands off the negroes and is still free to carrv out his intentions in regard to the Cor-bett-Mitchell fight, without running counter to a decision from any court in Jacksonville. The club people know this and they feel that the Governor has cleverly eluded the snare which had been set for him.. lhe impression here is that the Gov ernor has the club in a hole so far as pulling off the big mill publicly is con cerned, if he maintains his present atti tude, lhe club people seem to be of the same opinion too. Manager Bowden, of the club, left to night for Tallahassee, the State capital, where he will have an interview with the Governor to-morrow. He goes, it is understood, to make a last plea to the Crovernor to let up in his opposition and allow the Corbett-Mitchell match to be fought. sHe has always backed the Governor politically in this county and, therefore, has some claim to executive consideration, so the club people assert. cut the club has been so dehant m its at titude towards the Governor and the lat ter has taken such a determined stand against the fight, that few belieye Mr. Bowden s supplication will result in any benefit to the club. For the Governor to back down would be suicidal, in view of the backing which he is receiving from all parts of Florida, outside of Jack sonville. The Governors plan in regard to the big mill, should the club attempt to bring off the fight in Jacksonville, is said to be to mass the State militia here in sufficient force to insure the arrest of the principals and their backers and to overawe tha club people, should the lat ter be disposed to make resistance. : It is understood that the Governor had all plans consummated to this end. A great many people oi Jacksonville, including many of those opposed to the fight, do not relish the idea of the city being turned into an armed camp and a . . 11 . - 1 l ' - A O can is .Demg circulated to-nignt ror a mass meeting to-morrow to protest against the action of the Governor in calling out the militia. This call recites that the calling out of the troops would work great harm to the city's business interests, and urges the uovernor not to interfere, xsot a great many have signed the call so far, but among the signers are some of the most prominent firms in the city. It is not likely, even, if a monster mass-meeting be held and resolutions be passed urging the Governor to let up, that it will have any enect, as it is said tnat tne Governor believes, leaving out Jackson ville. his course is endorsed by an over whelming majority of the people oi the State, So the situation remains as i,t has been in regard to the right for weeis doubtful, with the Governor apparently holding the trump card. The club people, however, are still at work on the arena, and it is rapidly ap proaching completion. The club offi cials say it will be completed by next Saturday night. There was some com ment among those who have seen it as to the apparent lightness of the timbers used in the construction of the seats, but those in charge of the building de clare that thev will be amply braced from beneath and made strong enough r sustain anv strain 'which may be nlaced unon them. Saturday evening the framing for the seats had all been erected and the workmen were, busy nailing on the sidings. Don't!
