"WAsnixoTfX , D. C. , Feb. 17. )
"Wn".l Btroel excitement toduy permeated
"Washington News of a slump in the stock
tnarkc t and of n threatened panic , accom
panied by an increased demand on the part of
representatives of New York banking houses
for an Issac of bonds , and by renewed re
ports of Immense shipments of gold ,
caused the keenest Interest in the intentions
of the secretary of the treasury. This inter
est was only intensified by the absence of
President Harrison , who. putting no cre
dence in the reiiresentatioiis of an impending
ii-t'rss. * . , for the issuance of bonds , has
ca".ts.y : g'j.if ' duck shooting. Secretary Fos
ter hints J intends to leave Washington on
Man la , tor Detroit.
It can be distinctly stated on the highest
possible authority that President Harrison
is opiwsod to issuing bonds , nnd that ho be
lieves that the demand for gold for shipment
is artificial , and is the result of u conspiracy
to force .in issue of bonds , which would be
taken at par by the conspiring bankers , and
which afterward would command a premium.
Statements have been made both to the
president and Secretary Foster about this
demand for gold , vhk-h subsequent events
have Rhnwn to be false whether deliber
ately f Use or not is an open question. For
example it was stated by visiting financiers ,
both at the white house and nt the Treasury
department , that the gold shipments during
the last three dnys of this week and on Mon
day -would riggregate over IS.OM.OdO a sum
crceeJin" the total amount of free gold iu
the treasury. Since this statement was
made , however. Secretary Foster has learned
that the aggregate shipments will , in all
probabilits full short of $3,000,000 , if It docs
not oome under 2,500,000.
Kcsult of n Connplracy.
It is believed that a political us well as a
ilnanila ] plot underlies the creation of
this artificial demand for gold. The sus
picion is that certain capitalists who con
tributed large sums toward the expenses of
Cleveland s campaign wish to throw upon
the Harrison administration the responsi
bility of buy me gold.
When President Harrison left the city on
Thursday afternoon for IJenjies , Ma. , it
ivas r < - ported that he had "hacked down"
from his position against a bond issue and
had told Secretary Foster that it would be
all right to issue Imnds , and soon. H wan an
nounced , a bond issue would follow. Just
before leaving the white house the president
was visited b.v two distinguished New York
hankers wlu informed him that they could
exchange g > ld for legal tenders , but they
were authorized to say for the bankers that
the government would be compelled to pro
vide itself with coin without their as
sistance , and they gave Has their belief that
the only way out of the dilemma was an
issue of bonds. The president summoned
Secretary Foster and stated that as he was
about to leave the city for a few days , he
wanted to restate his jiosition upon the
question at issue ,
Ills Vluira Nut Altered.
He had not. he said , altered his views. He
was yet opposed to a bond issue. He be
lieved that the conditions were worked up
"by designing speculators , and it was his
opinion that If they could be made to under
stand that there would be 110 bonds issued
by this administration the demand for gold
would iininpdi.ately decrease , and the appar
ent necessity for a bond Issue would disap-
2 > Car. The president stated further that ho
himseif had no direct control over the sub
ject , and that the authority to issue bonds
was rcstoa solely and wholly in the secretary
of the treasury. Tlie president , ho said ,
could only advise , the secretary had the
absolute power to act. The only power
Tested in the president was In the control of
the oflleo of secretary of the treasury.
The president's statement in this particu
lar was significant. He undoubtedly in
tended to impress the secretary of the treas
ury with the fact that the latter oflicer ,
Imowiug that though an issue of bonds was
not advised by the president , it could be
made , if it was deemed advisable , but the rex -
* ] x > nsibility of it must rest with the oflicer
making the issue , and the president of the
"United States would be absolved.
So the fact that the president has thus im
pressed upon the secretary of the treasury
his views , and had left the rcsiKmslbility en
tirely with the latter , soon became known ,
and those -whoso wishes were born of the
thought caused It to be retried that the
president had consented to an issue of bonds ,
That is all there is to the report. The prcsl
dent is unchanged in his opposition to a bond
issue.
Considered In tlie Seattle.

did not believe that any bonds would be Is

PASSED THE PENSION BILL
Porwaid Action Taken Upon it by the House
of Representatives.
JOHNSON OF INDIANA CREATES A SCENE
Speaker Crlup Compelled to Order Him to
Takr III * Snat Sherman' * Amendment
to the Sundry Civil Hill Opposed
in the Senate.
WisnijiOTOK , D. C. , Fob. 17. There was
no personal conflict ou the floor of the house
today , although there was u strong under
current of bad feeling. In four or five
Instances a passionate word would have
worked the trouble , but reason took the
place of passion and the jiension appropria
tion bill was passed.
The postoftlco appropriation bill was con
sidered without final action.
The car coupler bill was postponed until
Tuesday next , and then Mr. Morse charged
Mr. Tarsney with reading garbled extracts
from his remarks yesterday. Mr. Tarsney
did not reply , and the matter was dropped.
Senate bill was passed extending to the
North Pacific ocean the provisions of the
statutes for the protection of fur soals.
Mr. Johnson of Indiana , in calling the at
tention of the speaker to what he thought
was a misapprehension ou the part of the
chair , in one of his statements was ag
gressive in his manner and In his speech
and was requested b.v the chair to take his
seat , but Mr. Johnson proceeded in an im
passioned manner and out of order to con
tinue his remarks.
Jouiidon Ordered to Take III * Seat.
Peremptorily the speaker , whose patience
had been sorely tried , ordered the gentle
man from Indiana to take his seat. The
gentleman was willfully violating the rules.
Mr. Johnson The gentleman f torn Indiana
Is able to take his scat and will do so if the
chair will permit him.
This last remark was made In such a din
that out few persons heard it.
The pension bill was taken up and its con
sideration completed. Mr. Grout said he
wished to reply to the remarks made yester
day by Mr. Turpin of Alabama. That gen
tleman had stated that there was a man em
ployed in the pension bureau nt a salary of
Jl.bOO aiyear who was drawing a pension of
fly a month for total deafness and who was
stationed at the telephone. He ( Grout ) had
received certain information in regard to
this case in the pension bureau. In the first
place the man was a democrat , in the second
place there appeared among the names
of the men who recommended him
the name of Judge Gresham. [ Laugh
ter. ] The gentleman referred to was
an assistant adjudicating oflicer. He
drew a pension for total deaf ness of the right
car. It was not his business to attend the
telephone , but as the 'phone was at the desk
of another adjudicating officer occasionally
he put his left ear to the 'phone. [ Laugh
ter. ]
J'mitrd the I'cnslon Dill.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill to the house. After a scene of confusion ,
during which the speaker appealed to the
gentlemen to conform to the rules of the
house and not violate them , the bill was
passed.
The house then in committee of the whole
proceeded to the consideration of the post-
office appropriation bill An amendment
was agreed to increasing the appropriation
for payment of the salaries of postoftiee
clerks , and without disposing of the bill the
house adjourned.
IX THE SENATE.
Shcriuaii'fi Proposition to lusne Additional
Iond9 Vigorously
x , D. O. , Feb. 17. The sundry
civil appropriation bill occupied the exclu
sive attention of the senate today. The
amendment which had been discussed on
Wednesday and the effect of which Is to
continue in force the law providing for
federal supervision of elections , was carried
by a party vote. All the committee amend
ments having been disposed of and the bill
being open to general amendment the ques
tion as to the issue of 3 per cent bonds to
maintain the gold reserve was precipitated
on the senate. The amendment was offered
by Mr. Sherman and a point of order was
raised against it by Mr. Stewart. The
point was. after discussion , overruled by the
vice president and an appeal from that de
cision was laid on the table by a vote ofS
yeas to IS nays. The merits of the amend
ment were discussed for the rest of the day
and adjournment came before the debate
closed.
Stewart Ojiposrd to a Bond Issue ,
In the course of the discussion of Mr.
Sherman's amendment providing for the
issue of 3 per cent bonds , Mr. Stewart said
there was no necessity to sell bonds to buy
coin. There was plenty of coin in the
treasury. There was over $000.000,000 of sil
ver coin and silver bullion iu the treasury
and flOS.OOO.OOO of gold , thus making over
$700,000,000 of coin , or which might be con
verted Into coin. If silver was good money
for the people it was good money for every
body and there was plenty of it.
Mr. Mills moved to strike out of the
amendment the words "five years after this
date , " so as to leave the bonds redeemable
at the pleasure of the government and he
argued in supjwrt of the motion.
Mr. Shermar said that if the proposition
was not one to provide for an emergency he
should fool disposed to accept Mr. Mills'
amendment , but he thought it would not be
wise to venture ou it now. He did not be
lieve that any considerable amount of the 3
per cent bonds would ever be issued. At
the same time the contingency should be
provided for. The power to issue the bonds
would , ho thought , enable the secretary ol
the treasury to maintain the gold reservt
without his issuing them.
Teller rights the Amendment.
Mr. Teller opposed the Sherman amend
ment : he said It would not d <
to come to the senate with thf
pretense that the amendment wa !
in the interest of economy. It came to thf
senate because the bankers and brokers o !
D New York desired that the governmen !
issue securities on which they might bank
Had the secretary of the treasury , Mr
Teller inquired , asked for the proposed re
lief ? Had he not on the contrary nssertec
again and again that there was no occaslnt
for the sale of bonds and that he did no !
propose to sell any , and ho ( Mr. Teller
asserted that no Ixmds would be sole
by the treasury between now and the 4th o :
March next , because it was admitted at the
treasury that there was no such emergenci
as would require it. There was a foelinp
that the republican party had become obllv
ious to the interests of the great masses o :
the ] > eople and hud ben paying courteou !
attention only to capitalists and monopolists
"That is , " said he , "what sent us to th <
tomb. "
Mr. Voorhees supported the amendment
As to the fall of the republican party , all hi
had to nay was that he was thankful to Goc
for manifold blessings. [ Laughter. ]
Without disusing of the amendment thi
senate adjourned.

The information conveyed in the San Fran
cisco dispatches relative to the satisfactory
progress of affairs in Hawaii was received
with much pleasure by the commissioners of
the provisional government.
The commissioners were shown the dis
patch from San Francisco stating that H. S.
Pratt , Hawaiian consul general , "had sent to
Vice President Morton u protest against rati
fying that part of the annexation treaty
which applied to crown lauds in Hawaii.
They said that the assertion that Mr.Pratt's
wife had any claim to tliu lands was without
good foundation.

Krw YORK , Fob. 17. Bradstreet's Wall
Street Review says : An increase In tho.
nervousness of the market followed the de
cision of the announcement not to sell bonds
for the purpose of augmenting the gold hold
ings of the treasury. Disappoint
ment ' at the frustration of ex-jacta
tions to that effect and apprehensions
as to the immediate outcome of the currency
situation have resulted in depression which
on Friday developed into a liquidation of
some proportions. Speculation was gov
erned almost entirely by these consider
ations and vibrated in response to the
changing prospects of action on the
part of the treasury upon the line which
Wall street believes to be the absolutely
necessary one under the circumstances. The
I industrials and u few stocks which have
been unduly prominent in the1 recent trading
would of course bo the more prominent suf
ferers.
The most favorable incident of the week
was the apparent disposition of London
to purchase stocks on the decline here.
It is intimated that there Is more
than the covering of short contracts
behind this unexpected attitude , which , it is
even asserted- , indicates that Wall street
apprehensions about thei outcome of the
urrcncy complications arc not untor-
ained abroad In a corresponding decree ,
[ 'he indifference which London has exhibited
toward our market and their volume on Fri
day was such that the exchange declined
lie engagements of cold for shipment to
; uroi > e toduy , they being curtailed in con
sequence.
The only feature of the marKet has been
.he . case with which the storks subjected to
"iquidating process have sold off.

A WORLD OF GOOD ,
Why Mi' . S , C , Oimick Recommends
Paioe's Gelery Compound ,
- * "V-r * * T " iiB
Surgeon-General Hamilton is authority for
the statement that there is no more prevalent
condition of mental derangement than the
liability to sleep.
The state of excitement In which people
of the present day live , the demands of busi
ness , the struggle for wealth , position , or
even a bare living , all of which were never
so great as now , produce just that state of
the brain which makes sound and healthy
sleep to many an impossibility.
And then how easy things go wrong !
And how easily as thousands know , every
thing can be made to go richt again.
All the functionE of the body arc under the
control of the nerves. And even sound or
gans work to cross purposes when contradic
tory and confusing demands are made upon
them by tired , pluyod-out nervesIt is be
cause Pnine's celery compound is a true
nerve food that it makes people well. Here
is a case in point. Mr. S. C. Dimick of Bowl
ing Green , Ohio , whose likeness appears
above , writes :
"I broke down from overwork something
over three years nco. Our family physician
said that my trouble was heart disease , and
said that I "had organic trouble.
"After treating me six weeks and becom
ing satisfied that he did not understand my
I. '
case. 1 visited doctor No. 2. He told me that
I hud no organic trouble with the heart , that
my heart trouble was sympathetic , that I was
worn out , and my whole trouble was nervous
jn-ostration. He said that what I needed , and
what would do me more good than mediciuo ,
was absolute rest and a change of climate
"Not Iwinc fully convinced that ho was
correct in his views , I consulted doctor No. 8 ,
this time a homeopathic. He agreed iu the
main with No. 2 , the ouly essential difference
being that he thought one lung was not right.
"I decided to try a change of climate , and
spent nearly three months iu Minnesota. The
following winter I hud nu'attacU of the grip ,
which left me In a low condition , and the last
season I was able to do but little work.
"Last winter I had another attack of the
grip , and for seven weeks was confined to the
tiouse , most of the time in bod. After recov
ering Butticit-ntly to get about , I concluded to
try Paine's celery compound. I have taken
several bottles , and It has done mo a world
of good. I have done more work than 1 have
done before in three years.
"I am surely paining strength and power
of endurance. I am already much better
than I expected to be , nnd am sure that by a
faithful use of the compound I shall be fully
restored. "
