The dcbnto on tin; Elkins resolution in the Senate last Friday when tho administration was accused by several Senators of having entered into nn agreement with u syndicate to float the expected issue of bonds. Is tho subject of a letter ' written by President Cleveland to Sen atop Caffcry, of Louisiaun. Tho knowledge that such a letter had been addressed to Mr. Cattery was obtained last night, and tho letter was mado public by tho latter. It is in tho hand. writing of tho President and covers six pages of closely written note paper. It is in full as follows: l.ecutivo Mansion, Washington, D. C. Jan. .", lSOO. My Dear Senator: I have, icad to-day in tho Congressional liocord tho debate in tho Senate on Friday, concerning tho flnaneial situa tion and liond issues. 1 am ninned at the intolerance that leads even excited partisanship to adopt, as a basis of altuelt, the un founded accusations and assertions of a maliciously meudacioiis and .sensa tion,! 1 newspaper. Iso banker or financier, nor any other human being, has been invited to visit Washington for the purpose of arranging in any way or manner for the disposition of bond to meet the present or future needs of tho gold reset ve. No arrangement of any kind Mis been made for the disposition of such bonds to any syndicate or through tho agency of any syndicate. .' assurance of such a disposal of bonds lias been,, directly or indirectly, given to any person. In point of fact, a decided leaning towards a popular loan and advertising for bids has been plainly exhibited on the part of the administration at all times when the subject was tinder discussion. Tho.-e charged with tho responsi bility of maintaining our gold reserve, ho far as legislation renders it uossi ble. have anxiously conferred with each other and as occasion permitted with those having knowledge of finan cial n flairs and present monetary conditions as to the best and most faioiublo means of selling bonds for gold Tho unusual importance of a suc cessful result if the attempt is again made, ought to be apparent to every American citizen who bestows upon the subject a moment' patriotic thoiignt. 'J he secretary of tho treasury from the (list moment that tin necessity of another sale of bonds seemed to bo ap proaching, desired to offer tlietn if is Mied to tho people by public adver tisement if they could thus be success fully disposed of. After full consider ation ho came to the conclusion, to winch 1 fully agree, that tlio umount -of gold in tho reserve, being now SjO, OUd.O'JO more than it was in February last, w hen a salo of bonds was made to a syndicate, and other conditions differing from those then eit;ng, justify us in offering tlio bonds now about" to be issued for sale by popular Ml Inscription. This is tho entire matter and all those particulars could have been cas" ily obtained by any member of the Senate by simple inquiry. If Mr. Morgan or anyone else, reas oning from It's own standpoint, brought himself to tho belief that the government would at length be con strained fro again sell bonds to a syn dicate. I Mippo-o he would have a per fect right, if ke chose, to take such step-, as seemed to him prudent, to put himself in condition to nego tiate. I expect an issue of bonds will be advertised fop sale to-morrow and tha bids will bo invited not only for those now al'owed by law, but for such other and different bonds as congress may authorize during the pendency of the advertisement. Not having had nn opportunity to confer witti vou in person since the present session of Congress began and noticing your participation in the de bate of last Friday, 1 havo thought it not nmiss to put you in possession of the facts and information herein con tained. Yours very truly, (Ir.ovKi: Ci.i:vi:i and. PLEASFOR STATEHOOD. ArUou.t, oklnliomi ntul Now Mexico Want AilinHInn. Washington. Jan. 11.- The three tcnilorial dclegatei-, Messrs.

During tho morning hour In tlio Senate to-day, on motion of Mr. Voorhccs of Indiana, a resolution was adopted appropriat ing SJ.'iO for the purchase of a portrait of the late Allen U. Thurmau. Mr. Priehard iHcptibltcan) of North Carolina called up the amendments ho offered to tho revenue bill to increase the duties on certain kinds of clavs, irurblc, iron ore, timber, livo stock, cereals, fruits, wool and coal for tho purpose of addressing tho Senate thereon. He favored tho enactment of tho McKinley law and tho free coin ago of silver. He denounced tho Southern Democrats for their recrean cy to their own section. Tho tariff law had brought unexampled pros- uerltv to the New Enirlnnd mana facturcrs and bankruptcy and ruin to tho farmers and producers of tho South. When Mr. Pr.tchard had finished, Mr. Hill chided him for tho inconsist ency of his State. North Carolina, lfc said, occupied a peculiar situation in Congress, and ho did not seo how her people could bo gratified. Some timo ago the same legislature in North Car olina had elected two Senators by tho tame combination. A few days ago one of them (Mr. Hit tier) had de nounced tho Democratic partv for being false to its pledges of tariff re form. To-day the other end of tlio combination told the Senate that ho favored tho re-enactment of tho Mc Kinley law. Tlio Senate, on Mr. Halo's motion, agreed to adjourn until Monday when adjournment was taken to-day. Mr. White (Democrat) of California consumed the remainder of tho time before the expiration of the morning i hour with a speech in favor of some practical modifications in the Senate lilies. The gi cat evil wnicli lie espec ially inveighed against was that which permitted interminable debate on any quest ipn and placed it in tho power of u single senator to hold the Senate at his mercy so long. At tho conclusion of Mr. White's speech. Mr. Morgan of Alabama, ox chairman of the committee on foreign relations, introduced a joint resolu tion congratulating the republic of Transvjul in Africa for the stand for liberty which it had taken and direct ing tlio President of tho United States to transmit tho action to the republic of Transvaal. Tho resolution was re ferred. Mr. .lone? of Arkansas then took tho floor and made a apeech on tho free coinage substitute for tho House bond bill. PAY DURING ABSENCE. The Ilouno Quashes n Motion to Deduct biliary for Non-Attciuluure. Washington, Juu. 11. In the House to-day Mr. Tawney, Kopublican, of Minnesota, offered a resolution relat ing to pension claims. It recited that it was frequently charged by pension ers and applicants that tho medical di vision of tlio pension bureau fails to properly regard tho reports and find ings in pension claims made by various boards of the United States examining surgeons and declared that it was duo to the olliclals of the department, to pensioners and to the public that tho truth, or falsity of the charges bo made known. It called upon tho Sec retary of the Interior to furuish copies of tlio reports and findings by boards of examining surgeons, irre spective of locality in tho first fifty claims for original invalid pensions re jected on medical grounds after No vember t. 1SII, after September ;, Ifc'JIt, and October , 18'j.I. An objection to itsconsideration was mado by Mr. McClellau (Democrat) of New York. Mr. Odell (Republican) of New York offered a resolution to direct the com mittee on banking and currency to report an amendment to tho general banking laws, giving power to bank ing associations to invest not to ex ceed fifty per cent of their lawful reserves in bonds of the United States, to be hereafter issued under tho acts of June II, 187o, and May 31, 1878. Objection was made to Mr. Odell'a resolution and it was referred to tho committee. Tlio changes in the House rules recommended by tho committee on rules wore reported by Mr. Henderson and were debated section by section. Mr. Dearmond, Democrat of Missouri, offered nn amendment providing for deduction from members' pay for ab sences not duo to sickness, or sickness in the family. Mr Stone assured him that tho only effect of the enforcement of the rule in the last House had been to increase tho sick list. Although Mr. Dearmond tried to obtain the veas and nays, his request was refused 'M to 18' and the amendment was lost by about tho s line vote, several Democrats voting airninst it.

Tho Monroo Doctrine. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 10. In present ing petitions in the Senate to-day from Norfolk, Va., in favor of liberal appropriations for sea coast defenses, Mr. Daniels of Virginia called atten tion to the alarm which manifestly existed in tho minds of the people along the sea coast in view of the ru mors of war. Ho thought their appre hensions of bombardment wero exag gerated, but expressed the belief that our sea coast cities should bo ade quately fortified to meet nny emerg ency. A resolution by Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire," Hepubllcan, was adopted Instructing tho committee on immigration to inquire whether any legislation was necessary to liferent the introduction into the United States of aliens imprisoned by foreign coun tries in tlicif American colonies. Mr. Hatter of Kansas offered tlio fol lowing resolution, enunciating un ex pansion of tho Monroe doctrine: "He solved, That the United Slates will regaid it an an unfriendly net for any foreign power, without our consent by war, treaty, purchase or otherwlso, to extend its territorial limits in tho Western hemisphere on either of the American continents, or to any of tho islands adjacent thereto, which this country deems necessary for its pre servation. And tlio United States re serves the right to be the solo judge of the necessity for the maintenance of their national entities "That the principle herein enunciated is founded on the law of self-preservation, which necessity adhore-i in and belongs to every civilized nation as a sovereign and inalienable right, and this principle is attested by Washing ton's farewell address and President Monroe's ever-memorable message of December '-, ls-3." Mr. linker made a brief speech in advocacy of tho resolution. In con clusion iio said that while the conn tries of Europe were arranging their policies and doctrine, it was right and proper that wo should declare to tho world tho policy which we advanced anil proposed to maintuin for the fu ture peace and preservation in invio late on tho Western hemisphere. Mr. Call of Florida toolc occasion, before tho resolution was referred to tlio foreign committee, to call atten tion to the war which tlio Cubans wero so gallantly ami successfully waging for independence and ex pressed the hnuc that the committee on foreign relations would report a lesolution for tlio recognition of the Cuban belligerents. When the morning business had been disposed of tlieie was a clash as to the order of procedure. Mr. Stew art of Nevada insisted on addressing the Semite in favor of the Elkins res olution prohibiting tho salo of bonds, except after advertisement to the highest bidder, and won his point. ANTI-SILVER DEMOCRATS. They cVro Working for Defeat of Kreo Coinage In tlio Senate. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 10 The anti-silver Democrats of tho Senate held a meeting or conference yesterday while tho Republican senators were in cau cus. Tho object of the conference was to count how many men could bo mustered against the free coinage amendment of the Senate finance com mittee to tlfo bond'bilL It was found that there wero fourteen huro votes on the Democratic side against tho silver proposition, and tho Democrats were assured there were twenty-six Repub licans who could be counted against tho Jones amendment. This would make forty in all. Four more votes would be nccessarr to a majority of the Senate. Hoth Democratic und lie publican anti-silver men aro now making an effort to see if these, four votes can bo obtained. C'liorokees Seo tho l'rcslilcnt. Wasiiinoton, Jan. lo.

London, Jan. I o. Outwardly, at least, there is little, if any, chiuigo in the political crisis between Great Hrl tain mid (ermaiiy. A dispatch from llorlin to the Times says: It is ex plained that tiormany only desired to protect German residents and Its con sulate at Pretoria by dispatching an armed force from Dohigoa bay, and that no arrangement had previously been nlado with Portugal. This has tended to produce n better feeling. Hut this slight change of sentiment has been counteracted by the receipt of a special dispatch to-day from Pre toria, saying that the Hoers demand the surrender of all llntish rights and stiz-erainly over tho Transvaal and the pre-emption of Delugoa bay- and the canceling of tho charter of the Hritish Sou Hi Africa Company. Ills further ttatcd that tho Jiucrs havo arrested, on tlio charge of treason, eight leaders of the recent movement among the Ultlandcrs of Johannesburg. The heavy demands of tlio Hocrs will not bo granted by the Hrltlsli government without a severe struggle. Tho opposition to the demands of tho Hoers, however, will mainly rest on tlio fact that it is generally ndmltted that they aro instigated on the whole by Ftiiperor William, and that they form a part of a studied opposition upon lli3 Majesty's part to the colonial policy of Urea I Krltiitu in Africa. It is admitted in some quarters that the Sonth African republic would be justified in demanding an indemnity frointirent Hritaln for the invasion ot Hoer territory, and thero is a general sentiment in favor of dealing severely with the British chartered company. Tho Herlln and Vienna newspapers regard tho warlike preparations of t ireat Hritaiu as of little Importance, and as being more of a political move than a military undertaking, so far as Germany is concerned; but they take a more serious view of tho proposed strengthening of tho Hritish forces in South Africa, which is regarded as in dicating a possible aggressive action tow aril tho South African lopttulic. Tlio chances for war between Great Hritaiu and Germany aro looked upon ns being remote and there is a decided tone of backdown in the utterances of the German press towards Great Hrit aiu. There was an outburst of prolonged cheering at a meeting of the Loudon Hadical federation to-day when a re port was received that the olllcers of the First Dragoons, in garrison at Dublin, of which regiment tho em peror was made honorary colonel by Queen Victoria, had burned his majesty in elllgy. The colonel of tho First Dragoons telegraphed that there was no truth in tho story. It is said, however, that before tlio receipt of tills ofllcial denial the German ambas sador, Count von Hatz.fcldt-Wilden-burg, mado representations on the subject to tho Marquis of Salisbury, asking to lie informed as to tho truth of tlio report. FILLEY FOR rVTKINLEY. Sees no Kenton to Chance Ills C'lioleo for tho l'reslilencj-. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 10. Cliatinccy I. Filley is in Washington Ho said to day: "St. Louis doesn't want tlio earth, but sho does want both the Na tional convention!', and, having he cured one, she will make a big fight for tin other. I think she will get it too." "It has been charged that you faror Major McKinley." "I'll have to plead guilty to that I have had no reason to modify my re gard for McKinley. IIo is In every way a lit man for the presidency. The people think so, for he is growing stronger with the masses every day." "Who will the Democrats bo likely to nominate?'' "Vou can't predict about them, but wero I allowed to guess, I say they'll take my old friend and neighbor, William It. Morrison. Morrison is ono of tho best men in theiy party abso lutely honest, and though I differ with him radically, if a Democratic Pres ident had to afflict the country, I'd sootier have him than any other one." MUST BE REORGANIZED. General Walker Declares Xuial Engineer Cor p Chance Must Un Mode. Wasiiinoton, Jan. 10. General Francsa A. Walker, president of tho Massachusetts School of Technology, has written an earnest letter in sup port of Senator Squire's naval engin eering and educational measure. IIo declares that anyone must be im pressed with tho fact that tho Squiro bill deeply concerns the defense of tho country. Ho maintains that tho con dition of the corps of naval engineers is distressing and affects tho honor ot thu nation. Ho appeals to Congress to give immediate consideration to tho reorganization of tlio corps of naval en gineers.
