For sale by LEGALITY OF -THE BONDS THE SECRETARY'S RIGHT TO ISSUE BONDS DISCUSSED. Several Senators Deny His Power To Issue Them Save For Redemption , Purposes The Internal Rev enue and' Income Tax Bill Amended and Made Part of the Pend ing Tariff Bill. . ' " ' SENATE, Washington, Jan. 31. After the routine morning business the Vice Presi dent laid before the Senate Senator Stewart's resolution declarine that the Secretary of the Treasury is not le'gally authorized to issue and sell bonds1; and Senator Allen, Populist, of Nebraska, made an argument in opposition to that of Senator Sherman yesterday. He de nied the claim that the power given in the Resumption act was a continuing power, and Baid that the language of the act did not justify that construction The debate took a colloquial turn, In reply to questions from Democratic fSea- awjrs, oeunwr Aiten neia mat so far as existing legislation goes, the treasury is not now bound to redeem treasury n tes; that the Secretary of the Treasury never had power to redeem notes below the 1300,000,000 and he does not possess that power to-day, and there never has been a time in the history of these legal tender treasury notes when he was possessed of the slightest power of redeeming them below $300,000,000, and that the act of lava was intended to Drevent the redemn- tion of the legal tender notes thegreen backs. Senator Vilas said that the legitimate result of Senators Allen and Stewart's position was that the $95,000,000 of bonds that were issued at that time were ille gally issued, at least all of them in ex cess of $75,000,000. Senator Alien Not at alL I have made no claim of that sort. I may do so after awhile. Senator Hoar argued that the use of the money proposed to be raised by the bond issue, for the general purposes of the Government, is entirely unauthor ized. "I feel bound to declare." said he. that in my opinion the bonds issued and held by the Treasury Department, under existing circumstances, will be illegal and will convey no constitutional or lawful obligation. I say that with a full sense of the gravity of the language which I use." Senator Gorman- thought that, under the peculiar .conditions in which the treasury found itself, it was unwise and unfortunate to raise this question at this time. Nobody in either House ques tioned the right of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds under the act of 187a for resumption purposes. There was no question but that it was neces sary at this time to relieve the Treasury Department. Personally, he had be lieved that the treasury was not author ized to sell bonds and to apply the pro ceeds to any other purpose than as pro vided in the act of 1875. Senator Hoar asked Senator GormSn why there was not introduced In the Democratic side of the Chamber a joint resolution or a bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Treasury to issue bonds? Senator Gorman said that he would answer that question before he took his seat. The question was pressed on him again, and again, but the answer was to the effect that under the latitude of de bate allowed in the Senate there could be no action in time to meet the diffi culty, while the discussion might be productive of much injury. The discussion took a political turn and Senators on both sides shared in it. The principal question was as to which political party was most responsible for the deficiency in the treasury, Senator . Gorman claiming that there was a de ficiency of some $50,000,000 before the last administration went out of office, and Senator Sherman and other Repub lican Senators arguing that the great trouble has been caused by the Demo cratic attempt to change the tariff. Senator Sherman asked Senator Gor man whether it was or was not true that the McKinley law produced revenue enough to support the Government? Senator Gorman's answer was that when the Democratic party came into power on the 4th of March last it had to bear the burdens which the Republican party had put upon the country. By its revenue laws and by its expenditures it had bankrupted the treasury before the Democratic party came into possession of the Government. Senator Voorhees, chairman of the Finance committee, said that on one point he was in harmony with Senator Sherman. That was the acknowledge ment of the power of the Secretary of the Treasury to act as he was doing. Senator Daniel asked Senator Voorhees whether there was any purpose now to issue bonds for the purpose of redeem ing greenbacks. Senator Voorhees The proposition to issue bonds concerns nothing but the authority of law neither affirming nor denying what use is to be made of the money, and I take it that that cannot be inquired into until after the money is secured by the sale of the bonds. The power to issue bonds is ample, clear, specific, unquestioned; and clear, if here after somebody should raise tne question as to the use to be made of the money, it may then be considered. . Senator Daniel I suppose there is no impropriety in making an inquiry of the head of the committee. Senator Voorhees- Certainly not; 1 say here to-day, with what small reputa tion 1 may nave as a lawyer, ina wie courts of the country will hold that the Secretary of the Treasury has the abso lute, unqualified power to issue ine bonds. Senator Daniel Unlimited by the pur pose defined in the law? Senator Voornees unumitea vy vum purpose. mere is no purpose pro fla.impd. Senator Daniel Has the secretary or the Treasury the right to issue bonds without entertaining tne purpose w use them solely in the line of the law? Senator voorhees Whenever tne sen ator from Virginia finds that the Secre tary of the Treasury is going to use this money contrary to his view there will he t.imei for him to gto to the courts and restram him. I hold. with the Secretary, frT this moner in any way that seems to him proper, and conduc ive to the general purpose of the act of 1S7S. - - - The bond resolution then went over without action till to-morrow, and after a short executive session the Senate at 5:30 o'clock adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. . ' The last day of general debate on the tariff bill opened with a fair attendance in the galleries and a rather sum at tendance on the floor. After the committees had been called for reports the House went into com mittee of the whole to consider the tariff bill. Mr. Tate offered the first amendment to the Internal Revenue bill. It pro poses to strike out the last three sections of the bill, which includes a tax of $ 1 a gallon on distilled spirits, and also the clauses referring to the bonding ot dis tilled spirits and their withdrawals from warehouses. This would leave the exist ing law as to spirits in force. Mr. Bland offered a substitute to ?per- mit distillers at the expiration of the bonded pericd to pay into the treasury the cost of exportation and importation of liquor under present regulations, the product to remain in this country and it was defeated without division. Mr. Dingley, Republican, of Maine, of fered an amendment striking out of the original text of the bill the "figures 8 wherever they occurred, -as the period of bond and the figures 6 where they oc curred, as the time for regauging, and insert the figure 8 in each case. This would leave the law practically as it exists at the pi esent. - Mr. Dingley's amendment was carried 81 yeas to 75 nays. Tellers were asked for and on this vote the amendment waB again carried 105 in the affirmative and 80 in the negative. This is the first and only amendment which the Republicans have succeeded in incorporating in the bill. " - - . - j The amendment offered by- Mr. Tate striking out the last three sections of the bill, thus leaving the law as to spirits as at present, as amended by Mr. Dingley's amendment,- was voted on, after the chairman had, with some difficulty, made the question dear to the House. It ap peared .that should the amendment be adopted it would, leave the period of bond at three years, while raising the tax from 90 cente to $1. The amend ment was lost. . A number of amendments were rap idlf offered, some in the nature of subr statutes, and a bad parliamentary tangle resulted. When this wa3 straightened out only one of the amendments had gone through to adoption, one extending, uw operations ot tne law to distilled spirits in bond at the time the law should go into effect. . Mr. Tucker, Democrat, of Virginia, of fered an amendment to the, income tax section of the bill excluding from its operation charitable institutions and cor- j porations and organizations and organi zations doing business in the States not for profit. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Whiting offered an amendment to the wine schedule of the Tariff bill proper, fixing the duty on still wines at 30 cents per gallon when below 14 per cent alcohol and 50 cents when above, also exempting the bottles or jugs from duty agreed to. . ! Mr. Bynum offered a committee amend ment deducting from the calculated in come of farmers and stock raisers the amount expended in the purchase or production of such product, which was agreed to. Mr. Springer offered an amendment providing that inheritence of property should be subjected to the provisions of the income tax. Mr. Bynum offered an amendment to this amendment including in the enu meration of incomes everything re ceived by gift, devise or. inheritance. After some discussion both amendments were adopted. ; Among the flood of amendments that failed of adoption was one offered by Mr. Maguire, of California, striking out all the provisions of the bill relating to the taxes on incomes, and in lieu thereof providing for a direct tax of $31,311,125 by apportionment among the States, and also for a direct tax on land values. , The following were the only members who voted for it: Johnson, Democrat of Ohio; Maguire, Democrat of California; . War ner, Democrat of New York; Simpson, Populist of Kansas and Harter, Demo crat of Ohio. The Internal Revenue bill was then agreed to as an amendment to the Tariff bit! by it vote or. 175 to 56, the entire New York delegation voting solidly against it. Great cheering and applause greeted the result. Mr. Wilson then offered an amend ment to increase the tariff on barley from 20 per cent, to 25 per cent, and on barley malt from 30 per cent, to 35 per cent. Several amendments were offered to this amendment, and the filibustering which was started late last Saturday afternoon on the 6ame question was re newed. The opponents of a higher duty on barley were able to filibuster away the ten or fifteen minutes which re mained before the recess. Mr. Wilson finally moved that debate be closed, and a vote was finally taken on this last motion, but although the Republicans and some of the Democrats rushed to get between the tellers the hour of 5:30 arrived before a quorum had voted, the House took a recess, and the barley schedule again went over. A PRETTY PLAIN LETTER. The Reply of the Mayor of Darlington to Governor Tillman's lietter Com plaining of the Non-Ehl'orce-ment of the Dispensary Law, Charleston, S. C.,Jan. 81. A special to the News and Courier from Darling" ton, S.

Mayor Dargan, at this meeting submitted the following let ter to Governor Tillman, which met with the approved of the council and was ordered to be forwarded at once:: "Darlington, S.

I find nothing in the act in question or in any other act of the Legislature requiring the mayor or the town council of Darlington to give you, or Mr. J. P. Kervin, satisfactory or other assurance, that we will obey this or any other law. As there is nothing in the act giving each of you authority to require juch assurance, and as I am not aware of any other law requiring me to give, or you or air. J. if. Jvervm to ex act promises as to my contemplated offi cial, or unofficial intentions, it appears singular that either, or both of you should allow your respective boards to delegate you to exact promises from offi cials with whose business you have no con cern whatever. I am not aware of the fact which , you have announced to me by implication, that the mayor and town council of Darlington have violated this narticularlaw or any other. As to the information, the State board of control has received.I know nothing of its source or reliability, as you failed to enlighten me j but assert that it is incorrect, though in doin? so I am fully conscious of the fact that it is not worth my while to say it to you at this time, as it is very easy to m ' - I " l I .1! . believe what one wisnes to Deuve. : : Yours respectfully, vv. t . iargan, Mayor of Darlington, S.

It may be interesting to add iust here, that the total amount received by the town treasurer since the opening of the dispensary aggregates only $382.78.

Sensational Suit- Over a Newspaper. Memphis, Jan. 31. Litigatipn over the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche took a sensational turn yesterday. W. A. Col lier, the' president of the company, filed a bill in chancery in the United States court, attacking the-assignmeht as illegal and void, and charging A. u. uwynne, R. D. Morgan and W. J. Chase, receivers, with conspiracy and fraud. Mr. Collier charges that the men who made the as signment were neither stockholders nor directors of the Appeal company and that they have no standing in court. The case went over to Thursday when argument will be resumed. There are twenty lawyers in the case representing the different factions and it wiu oe a hotly congested battle. The report of the receiver, ' submitted yesterday, showed that the paper has lost a,uuu in tne past three months. The schedules of indebted ness show the liabilities to be in the neighborhood of $465,000. J. B Loring, of Brooklyn, N. Y., holds $200,000 worth of bonds. J. E.

The negotiations to settle the troubles between the insurgents and the Government by arbitration, in which Admiral Benham was acting as a pri vate citizen, are at present at a stand still. This is probably due to the fact that Admiral Da Gama s nephew was killed early Monday morning while en gaged in a fight along the shore on a tug. The American iu-iiiiLr uwo, jui.

CASHIER THE BURGLAR Cashier Clark; of the Ellavillel -Ja., Dank, Confesses That he Bur glarized the Bank His i Effort to Commit J Suicide. " '.' oAaAaAAU, ua., June 31. A special to the Morning News from Ellaville, Va., says: The shock to the people of iUayiue was great when it was an nounced on Monday morning that the Planters' bank had been burglarized and robbed of all its money, but it was notlr tuiuparison to tne eiiect upon them when it was generally known at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon that Cashier J. E. Clark, who wa3 esteemed so highly by all the people, was most probably .the perpetrator of the crime. Early this morning he went to the nearest drug store and procured half an ounce of laudanum, pretendingthat he wanted it for toothache, which he sallowed as soon as he reached his room. He was shortly afterwards interviewed by three prominent bank officials to whom he confessed that he had taken the money and that the laudanum was taken with suicidal intent. An emetic was at once dministered and the poison promptly Expelled. . - Detective Jones, from Atlanta, has been here for the past few days working Hp the case, and within less, than four hours after he arrived he pointed out Cashier Clark as the robber of the bank. -A.t 10 o'clock yesterday morning a bag of silver was found among a pile of rub bish in the back part of the bank build ing and 6howed no signs of having been burned by any kind of explosive. The six steel plugs which project into the solid wall of the safe when fastened were uninjured, nor was the safe harmed m any respect except that the door was blown from its hinges. - These facts led to the conclusion that Cashier Clark had removed the money, filled the safe with powder. Dlaced his fuse in position, closed but not fastened the door, and then applied the match, which conclusions are thought! to be true, by Clark's confession, xhe holes drilled into the outer door of the vault"! and into the safe door were put there as a blind. The tools used were found at Clark's direction in the bottom of an pld well near the depot. Something over $4,000 has been found, $3,600 of. which was in Clark's pocket and trunk. Speculation in cot ton futures, Clark claims, caused him to make way with about $3,500, and he adopted this plan to conceal it. His parents live in Americus, Ga. Sun's Cotton Kev iew. . : New York.

Deputy Sheriff Vinzant left to-night for St. Louis, Mo., with requisition papers for Mrs. Townsend and her daughter, Miss Armstrong, who have been victimizing the people of this city for the last three weeks. Their scheme was! to secure goods from merchants on trial, to, be re turned if not satisfactory. :lhey inva riably kept the goods, but never paid for them. When they skipped a few days ago they had secured goods to the amount of nearly $1,000, nearly all of which they had sold for less than nan tneir value. ;;lt is thought that the women, who are said to be very handsome, were decoys for certain crooks who infested the city prior to and during the week of the prize fight. The women ran an alleged board ing house and it is now developed that Correspondent Matthewson, pf the Boston Journal, was drugged and robbed near their place. Matthewson ; is crazy from the effects of the drug. Three men were with the women and disappeared with them. -Ihe women have been arrested in St. Louis but will fight extradition. The Nicaragua Canal Contest. New York, Jan. 31. The contest be tween the rival committees m the reor ganization schemes of the Nicaragua canal, headed by Bartlett and Hatch, re spectively, was disposed of by Judge Lacombe this morning in an opinion denying the motion of Frederick H. Hatch to examine the books of the Nicaragua Canal company. This motion was argued on Saturday before Judge Lacombe by ex-Goyernor Hadley for the petitioner and by ex-Judge Charles If. Daly and Joseph R. Choate for the re ceiver of the Canal company. The coun sel for the petitioner, Hatch, will make another motion, similar to the one on which this decision is based, onra peti tion of another and other stockholders. This, it is believed, will secure the right to examine the books. Highest of all in Leavening 1 ! a AESQULrTELY PUBS the WEDDING. TUB MARRIAGE OP MR. BUTT AND MISS MARSHALL.

There was an approach to stagnation at the Stock Ex change to-day, only a little over 119,000 shares having changed hands. At the opening of business prices were higher, except for Union Pacific, which was de pressed on sales for London account. It was reported that the" stock and junior mortgage holders will have to be pre pared to make sacrifices of importance, under the new reorganization plan. The assessment of anywhere from $10 to $25 is looked for on the stock, which fell to 19, a decline of H per cent. London sold between 5.000 and 6,000 shares. Dis till ine and Cattle Feeding was another weak SDot. the refusal of the House to increase the tax on whiskey having caused decline from.25i to -zot on sales of 11,000 shares. The general list cut loose from the stocks named and ad' vanced anywhere from to 34 per cent., Delaware and Hudson leading, inis stock sold up to 135J on the publication of the preliminary report for load, which shows nearly 10i per cent, earned on the stock. The Vanderbilts displayed more strength and advanced i to 3 J, the latter in Nickel Plate, first preferred. Louis ville and Nashville and other South era stocks were comparatively firmer than . the remainder of . the list the Vanderbilts excepted. Railway and business matters, according to some authorities, are looking up in the South and Southern securities respond readily to buying orders. The changes -in the active stocks, outside of those men tioned, were slight. The dullness of the market was a disappointment, as it was thought in certain quarters that the enormous subscriptions to, the new Gov ernment Bonds would start up pecuia tion at once. : The total subscriptions by New York and Boston capitalists amount to over $46,000,000 out of a grand total of $50,000,000 offered. The paucity oi business under the circumstances was a disappointment. In the last half hour of trading the marfcet was nrmer tnan at any other time of the day. The closing was firm, with prices -J to 8 per cent, above yesterday's finals. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were strong.

The features of the Harry Hill trial were the statements of the defendant and the- examinations of his aunt, Mrs. Casey, and his ex-partner, Lawyer Echols. , HilL in his statement, which he read. declared that Mrs. Porter had given him money on various occasions? The first that Bhe gave him was $100, which, she handed him in the Dairy Kitchen, New York, where they were lunching. That was in lstso. ine following Christmas uue maae mm a preseet of $100. The next Cr, 1887, she gave him $750. Of this she ded him $500 at her own home in Auania, and the other $250 she put in bif-pocket during a carriage drive. In 1889 Hill said he accompanied her part of the way to Macon. On parting she handed jhim an envelope which upon opening he found contained $300. In 1890 he received a letter from Mra. Por. ter containing 350 and later in the she sent (him $300 by express. In 1891 Mrs. Porter made the first note wVih was for 41.200. Thia Hill Hill proceeded to detail the aid which Mrs. Porter had rendered him from tim to time, how she became a member of the Wilson Whiskev comnanv . unlrnnnn to her husband and brother. . This com pany was a bad investment and cost Mrs. Porter heavily, as neither of the other members of the concern had anvthinir to put in it? - Probably ten notes with made- Hill declared that in each instance-Mrs. Porter either signed tbembr he signed them in her presence, with her consent. Hill asserted dramatically, that he never forged her name, to a single note, and protected his innocence of the charge. . , Mrs. Casey, the defendant's aunt, testi fied that she was an intimate friend of Mrs. Porter. The witness had declined to invest her money in -the Wilson Whiskey jcompany and advised Mrs. Porter not to do so without informing her family. VI said to her that it would be discovered some day, and that then ners wouid oe tne saddest home in Atlanta." Mr. Lichbls described the scene when he informed Mrs. Porter that Hill had forged her name to notes. Mrs. Casey was prestnt. Mrs. Porter was deeply moved. During the trial a sharp personal pas sage occurred between Charley Hill, the prosecuting attorney for the State, and his own brother, Ben Hill, one of the counsel fo the defense. Judge Clark had to call them to order. Harry Hill, the defendant, is a cousin of his lawyer and his prosecutor.

The electrical force of the human body, aa the nerve fluid may be termed, U an espe cially attractive department of science, as it nurta en mn.rbAd an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced by the Drain ana tonvejeu vy means of the nerves to the various orpiins of the body, tbiis supplying tne laiier mm mo vitality necessary to in sure their health.
