The statements were absolutely Irre- concilable. SInce the tariff bill went Into effect up to Saturday nIght last the defcIency was $44,000,000. lIe made a lengthy argument I. ment to refute the position taken by Mr. Wil L- son on Saturday regardimig the revenue. He declared that a run having been d on the gold reserve It was or supreme him I- portanc that an increase of the revcnues should take place to restore confidence . The $100,000.000 or bonds Issue during the last , t year had been cxpendet to meet the defciency In the revenues. hILL WAS SIMPLY TIUFLING. Mr. heed or Mnlne. who lr.

Intrinsically , the bill was of Importance In that he did not desire conmesS to commit Itself too , hmastif y 10 the. Ill advised opinion of the secretay hasty or state. But time bill tie bi was beIng presse I . not because It was of Importance to us n an lnomlc point or view , but because It I was said to contravene some of the treat y ! rIghts. This proposition Involved n pecula situation. Germany granted I bounty lor the benefit of her beneft sugar gowers and manu- facturers , to gIve them an opportunity to sell In our markets. We acting under our rights decided . , wewould protect some oC our citizens . the Louisiana planters and the Sugar trust. ' Germany's bounty acted directly against us . and we sImply contravened L- vened their act. Mr. Reed called atter I. Ion to _ the . . conflicting opinions ( r the aten- secre' lry or stale , ann tle attorney generam time later l beIng strong In the opInIon this duty d lt not violate the treaty with Prussia. Mr. Red added to the attorney general's opinion that of Count Hatzfeidt who staled In i 1888 that such wa the opinion or the Imperial i government of Germany. Mr. Heed asked what evidence had been ad- d uced to show that . our meats had been cx- bn cluted by Germany because we had Imposed this differential on her sugar. "Whon this ntmlnlstraUon come Into power there was $106,000,000 In gold In the treasury ; that was the surplus. Since then the administration has borrowed $17.000,000. making In all $223OOD.000. Suppose the revenues had equaled the expenditures : and the gold hat been paid ommt . there would be In plnce or gold the equIvalent In green- b acks . That Is the situation In a nutshell. I this hat occurred no one would have a sked that the asket greenbacks should be ccc tret from circulation. " "What Is our duty ? H Is very plain , Make time revenues equal to the expenditures. I Do It at once. We on our side are always ready to do our part to sustain the govern- ment. " ( Republican applause ) . Mr. Comb of New York at thIs poInt sub- mited some figures to sustain the presl. dent's statement In his message yesterday hat thIs' generation had paid enough or the debts or the war. In 1865 the public debt was $2.396,000.000. Since then $19,000,000 of bonds had h been Issued. This generaton since that tme had paid nn average of $200,000.000 n year , I total of $6,379,590,905 In prIncipal amid Interest i , exclusIve or milons ol dollars worth of war claimmis. olars WILSON CLOSED GENERAL DE DATE. After some further debate by Mr. Turner ! or Georga , In reply to Mr. Reed Mr. Wilson : closed the general debate with a brief speech , In which ho enlell he hail said tm that Germany had not discovered diseased meats among our eXllorts. Sporadic , cases or disease would naturaly lIe discovered , but putng together Germany's protest against this duty before the passage or the tariff act with her subsequent act In proimibitin Ihe further Imporlaton of our mol prohibitng i Iterate limo belief no one can doubt the one was the cause or the olher. Proceeding then to chalenge Mr. Dlngley's statement that his ( Wilson's ) view or the cause or the treasury's distress was antgonlslo to that of the prealden he quoted Mr. Cievelaimfi's words yesterday that there wds a comfortable surplus or $63,000,000 In the treasury but , It was not II gold , and thererore dhl not meet the present diilicuity. In conclusion Mr. Wilson expressed the hope that this hilt would pass both houses of congress and become - come n law ant The bill was then read for amemlrent under the fve-minute rule The arendmenl of lii.

Mr. hOop kina argued that I tbe lull without some such amentment should become a law It L would place us at the mercy of Germany The amendment was losl , 83 to 10S. GETTING AFTER Tim TIWST. Mr. Hilt of 1lnol. offered an amendment to repeal time one.elghth of a cent dllerent8 on refined logar. Mr Hit declared this was the differential Imposed solely for the benell of the sugar trust , and lie mad an earned L argument In favor or striking It out or the tall act along with tie differential against sugar bounty paying countries. Mr. Wilson lid It would gratify him 1 Ibis .mendment could be adopted and thIs bill bl' , come I law , but lt realized this amendment If adopted . would defeat the bill. He thert fore asked his friends 10 vole down the amendmnt There was two ways In which the lunr trust could defeat the bill trlklng or the one. tenth on sugars from bounty payP In l ! cuntries : first. by killing It on the s quare . and second , by loading the bill with amendments & I could not pass the senate. "Tho gentleman from West Virginia " said M r. hilt , "onco said on this floor Just before the takIng of a famous anti fall vote that the sugar trust hat congress by the throat : does ho still ti.ink so ?

S. D. JUDGE LONG OETS Ills I'ENSION. CODluhslonsr LOlhron Execcllcd Ill , , , \Ulhorly In time Cuso. WASHINGTON , Jan. 2 . -Judge Bradley ol the district supreme court today granted the mandamus asked by JUdge Charles D. ' Long . or Michigamm to compel Commissioner Lochren of time pension bureau to restore the former rating or $72 per month to the p laintiff. The mandamus against Secretary Smith asked for by Judge Long was cnl d as unnecessary. Three questions were In- "olved In the case. Whether Commissioner Tanner was justified In Issuing the certleate giving Judge Long the $7 per month rating ; whether the t commissioner of pensions Is empowered to review ant reverse time acton or his lirede- prete- c ensor upon thin same state or acts , for aleged error In judgment to change the status of the pension rolls and to revoke his pension i certificates , and whether the court , has h time power by mandamus to direct the commIssIoner to vacate his order or rovoca- t ion. The disabilities or JUdge Long , said the court , In reviewing the case . are 60 per- manent and total as to require the regular personal aid and attention of an- other person the cass of cases for which congress fixed a ratimmg of $3 a month. No duty was , Imposed , and no authority conferred upon the commissioner , said the court to order a special finding In this ease , and the only cases wherein the commissioner could Increase or reduce the pension according 10 right and justice are I L103e In which biennial examinatons Justce been I r requlre . Discussing the functions or the commlsloner of pensions , Judge Bradley laid down the proposiIon that the corn- missioner cannot give or withhold pensions at his pleasure. Time acton of Commissioner Lochren In re\'ok. i mig Judge Long's certificates . I was held , was illegal anti his clear duty , therefore the court said Is to revole that order . reo store thin former rating from the present rate or $60 per month and enforce comitinim- contnu. ance or such larger pimymmments .

Thorn mmmy bo allopted by the comimiitte C commitee 1 rule limiting the tme for debate on nmendments : which wi somewhat expedit m mmatters. exprdle At time afternoon session the conlnlt e adopted an amelllment to reduce the tax on : bank circulation to one-rourth of 1 per cent yearly payable In two Instalments or enc eighth or 1 per cent. ' The feature or the bill makIng customs duties payable In gold was hotly debated. A motion made by RelJresentatve Wnrnom . democrat of New York that debate on' each ; amendment he limited to ten mmiiimutes and that the previous question then be ordere 1. was carrIed. Under this procedure the com- milee adopted nn amendment which WI practically a compromise between two pro- llsell by Representatives Broslns an ilaughmen . As adopted . , the amendment strike out the words "fifty years after date , " an d malls the bonds "payable at the pleasure ant the United States after ten years- from the date of issue. . This proposal to shorten the bent term mel with nearly unanimous ap- proval. Hepresentatll Walker moved that when the committee tourned movC unt ! i unti Thursday , but this fal " , as did another re- pUblcan motion to alJQI\fn \ unt 2 o'clocl I At 12:30 : the commllC took a recess until 1 ' - unl o'clock. : Three democratic members were absen t . Culberson or Texas . Ehll or Texa. . El Kentucky and Johnson of Ohio. The- democrats assert that they have 11 understanding by which they wi report the bill to the house , saying that those who are opposed. to the measure itse It are wilting to give it : " Iself wiing I a'imoarIng . and charge the republicans with adopting latort tactk s to delay acton , c- taclcs PUT ON TWOI 'AMENDMENTS. The afternoon session of the commitee was more harm nlous thpm that , or the muon - ; mor- Ing and resulted im I _ tim adoption or two amendments to the JU 'Jho float , proposed by Mr. Haughen , roptmbliuan' ofWiscoammi : a . reduces the tax upon the circulation fro : a ) 1 pr cent , per ' annumjj ,0no.Conrth or 1 per cent , payable semi-annually . Thc second proposal , by Mr. Walker or , Jassachusets , strikes out the fifth section of the bill , thnt requiring Import duties to be paid In gold. The vote upon It was six yeas , four nays. When time'comnnjtttee adjourmied two 1- the"commltee adjournc arneni - amont- ments were pending to be acted upon t 0- morrow. One offered by Mr. Russeh re- publcan , stipulates that the retirement and cancellation of legal tenders for each month shal not be greater than time increase In the amount or nllonal bank notes under the operation carr' ' " , ] whpl or the a.s plan " " This _ . . . .t. amendment ' _ M , , . _ _ _ . was _ _ _ _ u , . _ . . .n . . . u.u . . . . . " . I WI a successful motion to reconsider and poe it- pane acton for a day. HepresentnUvo Walker stands sponsor for tIm other pending menmhmnent which Is to require onehalf of the reserve funds of the banks to 1 Lse held In gold . coIn or go b cortfcates , the other' In shy er coin or sliver certificates . Ten per dent of the reserve Is to be held In this stpulated o. form on JUly 1. 1895 ; 20 per cent at the end of three months ; the change bclng made at the t rata of 10 per cent a quarter until cornm pleted. The discussIon on this amendment hinged i on the point whether forcing the banks to secure gold for deposits would not cause a greater demand upon time treasury lor gold than the raids which are now In progress. Chairman Springer says time committee will ba able . to report the amended bill to the house i 'tomorrow Republcan members say the plan wilt be In committee two or three days longer , but al agree It will be reported to the house In time . alhough materially I changed from the original plan , since the reo publcans are disposed 10 co.operate wIth the administrton m democrats. There was some sparring or point In the committee ant n general disposition to engraft personal schemes m upon time measure but as a whole the t proceedings were unusualy free from p artisanshmip. Chairman Springer has not ) . decIded how much time he will asl the commlteo on rules to give for debate. The bill Is I privileged one and can be called up at any time . Accordingly the Calornia democratic memhers , who are fighmtt Ing i the Reiy Pacific railway bill very bIt- t ony . are urging ! r. SPlnger 10 report the financial measure lomorrow If possible . to dlsplac thin Reiy hiil. The action of the house i upon the amendell bill seems to de- pelll upon the republicans . who hell the balance or power How far the nmelimenls will placate the opposition remains to be seen , but l I Is conceded time chances of the measure are much better In limp house than In the smate , Us opponents ' are largely depending upon the free silver senators to talk 'It to uleathm as they may b able to do In a body h whloh has no rule hy which Il can tx a day for a vote. .
