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.

CUICAOO , Nov. 23. Wizard Schaeffer sot
another hot pace tonight in his ) billiard con
test with Nanolcon Ivgs. 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

SAN FuxNciM'o , Nov. 23. [ 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'

r , D. O. , No.v,2.-rPrasldennitV8- : ; :
land Is drafting a uiossaRO to congress In fa\oi"
of restoring the monarchy In Hawaii.
"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 * . '
'Leading royalists declared that the dis
patch was true , ns lt * bore out Intimations
which they had received from advisers in
Washington. Prominent annexationisls
wore equally positive tbit the dispatch was
a canard. One anncxutlonist , P. C. Jonca ,
said that oven if It is true , they can't ' got a
man in tno house or senate to pass such a
recommendation. 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.
"To guard again it any such attempt the
government building guard has boon
strengthened and scores of dead shots armed
with rifles have been posted in various parts
of the building. With this new guard itUI1
require u very strong force to carry the
place. 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. Th5 American policy had
been decided upon and bo was merely tno In
strument , to carry It out. However , they
might rest assured that it would be onp
which no American would regret.
May U o tlis Marine * .
"Ho said very emphatically that no power
would bo permitted to iuterforu with the
carrying out of his orders , and though ho
did not say In so many words that lie would
use the marines , there Is no question that
this is bis reliance. In case tie docs , the
provisional government will bo put in the
position of lighting the United States or re
tiring fiom power ,
"Somo of the more conservative royalists
bollovo that Mr , Willis moans to seat the
queen and then force her to abdicate In
favor of Kaullanla , the hnir apparent.
Darles , her guardian , is working horn to ac
complish this , but ho has made little head ,
way. Kver.v effort Is being made by the
royalists to drag the natives to the sup
port of the queen. Hero is the latest threat
printed in u natlvo paper , the IO Lee ,
which is the queen's organ ;

' "It Is rumored that all Hnwaiians wh9
were traitors to tno government of Lilluoka-

"Dosplto threat * the natives are apa-
thotlo and cannot be counted on to help the
queen , " .
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. Herb 4t was not oven sus
pected that the don-rf was exclusive or that
the cast did notibavo general knowledge
of It. 1 r i
Wont AroUmt tlioVortd. .
Whoever gave the news out hhd the confi
dence of Mr. Clorfiliftd , and ha wltholdnows
that the country was hnncrcrine for llvo
dajsnflcrho hhd ( cabled It to Europe. It
went around ihoxworld by cubic and actually
reached Honolululbybleamer from Auckland
only eight dava lifted It was first printed In
Now York. 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. The
next steamer to rcaoh 'Frisco ' from Honolulu
will bo the Oceanic , which touches at the
islinds on her way back from China. She
will leave Honolulu December 4 and will
arrive hero December 11. Meanwhile there
are n number of swift sugar schooners which
make the toyngo of 3,1)00 ) miles In twelve
Uaj3. U any of these cleared two or throe
days after tbo Alamcda Inft news may bo ex
pected by about the Isl or 2d of Dccombor.

Mora gas was Ignited at the special mootIng -
Ing of the city council last night. It was ex
tinguished , ns usual , only after the interests
of tbo gas company had boon taken care of.
The following comtnunlcalton from Mayor
liomls was read :
1 have the honor to Inform you Hint nttho

tbo south 4H fool of tbo east UUxlUG feet of
sub-lot-I , tax-lot 10 , section 10-10-13 , for the
your of 1B80.
The above named ordinance and resolution
and my veto messages regarding tha waino
were returned to you at your mooting aboro
referred to by my secretary , Mr. Millar , who
was preannt wltli the same ut the tlniu the
meeting convened and randy to present them
for your consideration In the customary
manner when communications from tbo
mayor were reached in your order of
business. 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 appeal from the decision of the chair
was not sustained. ' Tlio vote to sustain Iho

Prince , Saunders , Spocht , Thomas , Bochol
Against the chair : Bruncr , Elsasscr ,
IIowoU , Jacobson , Munro , Stool 6.
Absent : Buck , Edwards , Hascall , *
Wheeler.
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.
Approved the Mayor's lluudl.
'Mayor Bomls' oflicial bonds in tno sum of
$10,000 as mayor , with J. N , Cornish and
George II. Hoggs as sureties , and as a mem
ber of the Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners In llio sum of 15,000 , with Ibe same
sureties , were approved.
The communication of Heallh Commis
sioner Somers , calling attention to defection
of ventilation in the city hall , was referred
to the coni.mttuo on public properly and
buildings.

Health that tbo amount allowed Meat Inspector

on the table.

WHICH IS TIIK BEST TO TRY ,
out of all tho'medlcines that claim to help
women I Wouldn't it acorn to bo the one
which costs you nothing unless it does help 1
That is Dr. Piorco's Favorite Prescription.
There' * no other. But If that doesn't benefit
or euro , in tbo CUBO of every tired or ailing
woman , slio'll have bur money back.
In building up exhausted or overworked
women , nnd in all the weaknesses and dis
orders of wnmanhood , nothing can compare
with this medicine. For periodical pains ,
prolapsus and ether displacements. lxurlng-
down sensations , nook back , and "fcmala
complaints " of every kind , it In a safe , cer
tain , and guaranteed remedy.
Where ether things can only litlp your Co.-
tnrrh for a time , Dr. Hugo' * Cutai rh Ilomodv
will completely cure. The makers of this
modlclno moan whut they nay they offer
$500 reward for any incurable case of Co-
tarrh. Bold by drnggista.
