FIRST KNOT FOR CONGRESS TO UNTANGLE Condition of tlio Trrnnnry n Snrlout nntl 1'rrmlnt ; Qtipntlon I ne of Gold Hand * Agnln Itctns Tnlked Of Opposition ' to WASIIINOTOX , Nor. 23.-Wh.cn asked to In- illcato his Idea of what subject would attract the first and most serious attention at the hands of congress during the approaching session , a democratic senator who is re garded by many as iho loader on Umt nldo of the chamber replied laconically : "Tho con dition of the treasury. " Other senators nnd members corroborate the opinion of this senator that the condition of the national finances Is of paramount Importnncn , nnd agree that the subject will have to be taken up and mot In somu practica ble way nl ns early a data as possible and many go further and say thai legislation is utlll necessary to Improve the general finan cial condition of the country so as to restore the confluence of the masses of the people before there can bo n general revival of business such ns will stimulate trade Into its wonted activity and glvo employment to Ihe idln laborers of Iho land. There Is n vast diversity of opinion ns lo whal will bo done , but there is a general agreement that much will depend upon , the recommendation of Ibo sccrolnr.\of iho Ircnsury. It had been hoped that Secretary Carlisle would give some inkling In his speech do- llvored In 'Now York Tuesday night of his plans in this respect , but those who road the speech fall to find that It throws any light upon the subject.- They are now looking to his annual report with iho hope that ho will in lhat Indicate clearly the course .Ho would like to have congress pursue for tlio relief of iho treasury anil of Iho country at largo. It Is the prevailing opinion that ho will , among other thlngs.nsk , for authority logo into the European markets with United States bonds at u low rate of Interest in order to increase tlio gold reserve. , In u Very Hud Condition. A gentleman welt versed in financial af- fnlrs has called attention to the fact that Hho last statement showed thai the not gold in the treasury on last Monday was onlj $8-1,510,514 , nnd that there had been a loss of almost $20,000,000 , or almost one-fourth of rtho present reserve , since the 10th of Au gust. ' 'This , " he said. "Ts a rather frail supoort for iho paper money iho government has In circulation. " Ho asserted also that there has been very little Improvement in the treasury receipts since the 1st of Octo ber , when Mr. Carlisle estimated that at the present rate of receipts nnd expenditures tbo deficit for the year would amount to $50- 000,000. There Is nlso doubt In the minds of many as to whLther Mr. Carlisle would favor the issuance of bonds. There was a' time when he was not certain us to the expediency of ouch a courso. But It Is now believed that ho has reached the conclusion lhat under nil the circumstances surrounding tbo situation this is the wisest course to pursue , and some place this construction upon'his ' Now York speech. For tbo present and until our ex ports can bo increased it would seem that the only moans there ts of increasing our gold supplv would bo the 'salo of ouv securi- . tics to gold standard nations. > < i The advocates of the policy hold , nowqver , that there Is a largo'amount of gold hoarded Itli. Europe , which is now , as ever , seeking safe investment , nnd thai If a country like tho'Unllcd States Usks for a loan It Would be taken up promplly upon oasy'tornis. " tnflnoii < ud-r iVli INrty. . ' Ono circumstance that bus caused-Tvlr. Carlisle to hesitate before doing.this IVthe antipathy of his party to it. When the ex tra session vras called there was a certain opposition upon the part of the democrats to any increase of the public debt , and u belief that if the party assumes the responsibility for it its overthrow was certain. U Is not possible to say how great u change of opinion there has been. Some effort was made during the extra session to mako. tho" op ponents of the bond .policy see the wisdom of It. The reasoning uaod had a mororfip- preciablo effect In the senate than In the house und the bond advocates in that body were of the opinion at the close of the session that a bond bill , carefully prepared so as to protect tbo Interests of the country and appeal to the masses of iho democratic partyfcould have passed. They were not , however , so confident of the house of repre sentatives , where the feeling of doubt is still very strong. There are , indeed , those \\jho assort that if the house had not shown such opposition thb compromise on the bill repeal ing the purchasing clause of tbo Sherman law would have received the addition of authority for a bond issue. With this addi tion it would have secured the sanction of the administration and would have become n law Instead of unconditional repeal , Tor mi of Their Consent. The senators opuoseilto uonds.xvho showed an inclination' to' ' change their' minds -upon the bubject-woro only willing in do so to the extent of consenting to a modiilcatian of tno present law , reducing the interest from 4Vf and D percent to 8or ! 1' percent. . Tins proposition found considerable favor because it could bo made to appear more a step in the diioction of economy , and h is believed that should it become evident that tho-adminis tration would issue bonds under this law If more direct authority should bo given , con gress might bo persuaded to declare for their issuance under this statute with iho modifi cation as to tbo amount of interest and the fixing of n briefer time for iho bonds to run. It is also believed that Mi- . Carlisle will nsk for authority to coin the &olgnlorago of the silver bullion MOW in Iho treasury , which would amount to $50,000.000 , or piobnbly enough to make good lite Ihreatoned treas ury deficit , but with Iho present coining facilities of the government it is doubtful whether this silver could bo coined Into money in tlmo to bo available. The same dlllicnlty of delay will icst with any ifriff or inlornul revenue logislallon. What is needed , say these who dwell upon the condition of the treasury , ts.immediate l chef , The proposition lo coin iho solgnlorngo. If H should he taken into coup-ess , will meet viih very stubborn opposition , probably from both the oxlremo gold men and iho ox- Iremu ullvur men an well , The furincr claim that such a proceeding will weaken the so- uurlty of Iho silver notes nnd the latter would iccognko in luo movement a desire to reorganize Silver without giving any .substan tial cncouriijuuuont to sliver mining , Many of them would also tultu advantage of any opportunity to thwart iho administration bccauqo of Its general policy toward the whlto metal.

When the game was called last night Schaofforx had up 111 on nn unfinished run. Ho continued it to night with tbo b ills in an indifferent posi tion near tl.o lower end. Ho nursed them lethe the center of the lublo , over lo the side rail , across the table again , and sfo jly but surely edged theiu lo tlio lower rlghthnnd corner , and gofan anchor position in * his coveted spot. After seventeen points on the anchor tno balls broko. Ho bad then .VJ , and ho in creased ihis lo 87 in open plttir before ho quit. ni Ivcs started in with an air of business , but fell down on the seventh sbot.i. Instead of taking a cushion ho cboso a long masse for the sake of posltio.n. It was the llrst masse bo has missed sin'po the game becan Tues day night. Barrjng a run of 68 in the fourth inning SuhaetTcr did practically nothing from then until the tenth lulling. Ives got a llttlotorpid , too , an ! there was considerable desultory playing on both sides , although Ives scored 102 in the slxtu by pure slull , breaking on a kiss shot dead from the cushion. The black und white al ternated pretty rapidly after that fora few Innings , Then Ives recovered his master stioke , nnd ii ( an all-over ttie-table play scored 120. For Ihq second , tlmo during the gamu he was aho.-ul of his antagonist , iho total score standing : Tlves , 1,810 : Schaeffer , 1,751) ) . This example put Schaeffer on his motile , and bis next inning , the eleventh , witnessed bomo peerless position plays. He rolled them in all directions , bul the object balls Invariably stopped nearly in opposition. After making 43 in this way h failed on the easiest shot of the series. Tbo game was slow after ihat and unmarked by events excepting the master shot of the game by Ivcs , who. having all three balls in n line on the rail , Jumped the cue ball , struck the 111.si object ball lightly on top , and scored on Iho other gracefully , six inches uway , amid great applause. HchanfTor did not follow up his spurt. He gel lamentably weak again and manifested a lack of confidence. From the fourth in- ninirlo iho sixth bis total score was 82 , nnd 74 of ihcso'wero made in two innings. II was from this limo almost n settled fact thai II was Iho Napoleon's plight nnd ho cinched lhat conclusion by taking iho ctio nnd playing the prottlosl nursing innings of iho whole series. Ho scored 21H1 , breakIng - Ing on a short cushion draw , a shot ho had made three dozen times during thU/ run , which placed him ahead of Iho wizard SGI points on iho whole game and 404 on the evening's play. Schaeffer strengthened his play by hard plodding from the seventeenth inning. Ho mudo no grcnt runs , but his average was higfi for Ion innings. After ( but Iho playIng - Ing on both sides averaged small und the game ran along like a boy's game until the close. Ives got lo one pofnl ot Iho llnlsh by small runs and ho used ihreo Innings getting that point , ho and Schaeffer alternating with 2J > 7-33 ; Schaeffer , 17 33-J1T. .

" Kcgardlng the report that Mr. Willis said. ho would do nothing after the Alameda loft Honolulu until ho .heard further , from the State department , ho declined to say any thing.

Of course the news had not reached them that there was n widespread expression of public sentiment for them In the United States.

[ Special Telegram - gram to TUB BEE. ] The provisional govern ment was still in power November 10 , the date on which the Australian steamship Alamcda , which arrived hero today , touched at Honolulu. Queen Lilluokalanl bad not yet boon foisted back on the people who re pudiated her reign in January , although she had called on Minister Willis and perhaps solicited from aim the early aid of the American tars ho trusts in to assist him In carrying out the instructions of Mr. Clove- land. The Alameda herself carried into Honolulu a large political sensation. Under date ot November 10 the Chronicle coirespondent writes : "Tlio Australian steamer Alameda , which arrived early this morning , dropped a bombshell into Honolulu lulu which added to the political excite- * ment. This bomb was nothing less than the following four-lino Router dispatch con- talhcd-in tboi Issue oftho Now Zealand' Herald published at Auckland on Novonu * > ti t " ' ' f r , D.

"At once an effort was made to corroborate * this news , which is flva days later than any thing received hero from the United Stalest Minister Willis was seen , but be emphati cally declines 10 say whether It was true or false. Ho simply said ho would bo vloltiti ng his instructions to reply to such a query. ItnynlUt * 1'lenneil wltli the Mow * .

When ho was told that Cleveland would probably order this course without consulting congress ho said the American people would not endure so un constitutional an act. "Whatever may bo the facts about this bnof dispatch it has added to the high polit ical feeling. Every ono is on the qui vivo and the air is thick with rumors. Some prominent annexationists have conceived tlio idea that iho royalists are playing n deep game by claiming the support of the administration and _ that they are really planning a coop which will glvo them con trol of the government buildings. If they could hold this control for an hour Minister Willis would bo a bio to recognize them and to order the American marines to protect them from -issault. Klinrp Hliooteri { lulled Out.

This action was not taken after the news caino from Now Zealand , but before , and it was duo to rumors of u royalist plot to supriso the government. "Minister Willis is so far ns secretive ns Blountnnd no hint of his instructions has been given out. The only occasion un which ho lias tnlked freely was witon ho replied to the address of the commit tee of the American leau'uu , an organisation of prominent business men. Ho told them , but bound all present to secrecy , that noth ing which occurred on the Islands could change hie orders.

One of the curious questions suggested by tbo news from Honolulu U , who gave out the facts onvhlcn the Hauler dispatch of November 3 , announcing that the queen would be restored , was , cable , ! \o London and reached Auckland .November 4t The English papers actually printed as authori tative the news that Cleveland had dixjlilvd to rcstoro the monarchy In Hawaii four days before any American newspaper contained Ibis Important intelligence. On the evening of November 7 a press dis patch was sent oui from Chicago to San Francisco irlvimc the first aulbentln intima tion thai Cleveland had decided to restore the queen. U was printed hero , and ou the following morning it appeared with other matter from Wtahlngton In the Now \orlc Herald and thwSxn Francisco morning newspapers.

It vtonlfflbo Interesting to know who Is so thoroughly It rusted by Cleveland as to bo given n socrobbf this importance for snfo keeping forfdardays , ami what was the idea in trying thn.no-w3 : on London and the utmost parts of tliooarth before It was pub lished at homo , il'ho same legerdemain was used In giving out the Gresham letter. Both cases provo clearly that the adminis tration gives out all this news for its own purposes and places It with papers which will exploit It. The ndxt news from Hawaii may bo expected by way of Victoria on December 8 , when the steamer Arnwa of the Canadian Pacitto line roaches there. She Will leave Honolulu about December 1.

Their consideration , liowovor , was made Impossible by your action In Immedi ately adjourning without the transaction of any Imslnoss whatuvur , and Mr , Millar accord ingly delivered the ordinance and resolution and tbouto message accompanying Iho samu to tbo city clerk , who Is the clerk of your honorable ) body. In order lhal they mlgnt bo before you and bo considered by you at the curliest opportunity. Opoiiiul the Fight Klcht Vlftorouiily. Mr. Saunders secured recognition and moved that the communication bo returned to the mayor for correction , claiming that the date of November 1U mentioned in the communication was incorrect. Ho said that ho know theimpors were not before the council on the night in question , which was November 21. Mr. Munro moved an. amendment that the ordinances and papers in the gas matter bo brought to the meeting. Mr. Steel seconded the amendment. President Bochol ruled the amendment outof order , for the reason , ho said , that the charter prohibited action on veto messages except at a regular mooting of the council , and read the section. Mr. Munro called upon City Attorney Council for un opinion. Mr. Council replied that thoipresldont had ruled correctly so far ns the council taking action upon a veto message was considered. liowovor , ho thought that the council bad the power to causa the papers to bo brought before the inoclincr , but could take no action. Mr. Munro then insisted upon his amend ment. President Bcchel again ruled the amendment ; out of order. Mr. Munro appealed - pealed from iho decision of tbo chair. Mr. Howell wanted fairness , and ho do- slred that the papers bo brought before the council. Ho thought It perfectly proper that they should bo presented , and protested that , a .member was not compelled to define his position as to whether ho believed It proper that they should bo acted unon or not. Mr. Saunders supported the position of tbo president. .Ho said that the papers had not been presented'to'tho council at the tlmo they should have been. v Their Has to Was IiUhonest. Mr.-Stool thought that the capers should bo presented to the council. Ho'said that ho had read In the papers that some of the councilmen contended that the gas ordinance slood as a law because Iho veto of the mayor was not in the hands ofiho , , clerk before ad journment Tuesday-evening. Ho'did not be- Hoyo that a councilman'could honestly "set up such a claim. Miv Steel said that the papers were in the council chamber ready to bo presented at the proper tlmo by the mayor's secretary , Here tofore the custom has been for the papers to bo presented during the llmo the council was approving the journal. Th'o hasty adjournment Tuesday evening and the factthattho council mot live minutes before fore the proper hour prevented the possi bility of the papers being presented to the council. Mr. Stool sucgcsted that the matter could not bo shut off In any sucn a manner as was being attempted. Mr. Prince polnlod oul the fact that tno judiciary department had stopped in and directed the legislative department that it must do one thing and not do another. Ho thought H improper to consider messages from the mayor at a snocial meeting and up held the position of the president. Mr. Elsasser viewed the matter In the light that the council was in duty bound to consider vetoes from the mayor , and in case thoy.woro not considered at a regular meet ing , because of adjournment , should bo ut a special meeting if neld previous to the next regular mooting. President Bcchol insisted that the papers could not bo brought before tbo council , nor bo considered at a special mooting. Mr. Munro said that in view of the fact that this was tbo first mooting hold that the papers should Do brought before tlio council and considered. The pro lendcd meoling of Tuosdasv night was nol a meeting at nil and by such a procedure us was carried oul on lhat night it was made impossible to consider messages from the mayor. Ho questioned iho right of Iho clerk lo withhold papers directed to the council , and believed it his dutv to bring thorn Do- fore tno meoling. For ihoso reasons he in- slslcd lhat the papers should ba sent for und received by the council , and then placed upon tbo table for future action or acted upon Immediately. This was the first tlmo within his memory when the privilege of having papers secured for information was over denied a member , Kohueil to Smtaln the Appeal.

The question recurred on Mr. Saundor's motion lo recommit to the mayor the com munication for corqcctlon. Mr , Elsassor said that the action of the council in refusing to permit the papers to be presented was not fair nor honorable. He desired to sustain the mayor ou the action he had taken regarding the gas franchiio , Mr. Saunders' motion to return the com munication to the mayor was adopted. Treasurer Bnlln lequostod the council lo fix the amount of bis oflicial bond. Ho stated that the amounts in his possession during the pant five months have averaged $300,000.
