. C. , Fob. 21. [ Special Tclo-
pram to TUB HUE. ] Gold shipments and the
rumors of continued demands for gold from
abroad tnako the financial situation Interest
ing. It has neon expected for the past week
or two that some action on the part of the
administration would bo necessary to pre
vent a premium on gold , but fortunately up
to this time nothing has occurred to bring
the situation to what might bo called the
danger lino. Thcro Is a difference of opinion
as to whether the $100,000,000 once
being touched upon gold would go
up to a premium , but no ono In
charge of the financial affairs of the
government wishes to experiment with such
a delicate problem. It Is like the gentleman
who wished to hire a coachman and from the
applicant singled out three. Ho asked the
first how near ho would drlvo to a precipice
if he had a spirited pair of horses and any
member of the family In his charge. The
would-bo driver answered that ho thought
ho could approach within three feet without
danger of overturning. The second man was
questioned , and In llko manner ho gave It as
his opinion that ho could drlvo within a foot
of the edge and yet a vert a catastrophe. The
third man. a blunt sort of fellow , answered
promptly that howould not go near the
liFcclpleo at all , whereui > on ho was engaged.
Mny IKHIIO Miiro ItoruN.
Tills Is the gold situation. The adminis
tration will take no chances with the gold
reserve , illathcr than como near the $100,000-
000 , bonds will be issued and sold. Of course
It will boundcrstood'always'that the very
.last thing the president desires to do Is to
increase the national debt. Ho has stead-
lastly opposed the Issue of bonds for this
reason , but there Is n principle Involved oven
prcater than this. It has been the boast of
the republican party that any dollar of
American money is the equal of every other
dollar Issued , and to allow n gold dollar to
go to n premium would set at naught this
record. Under President Harrison's admin
istration gold will not bo allowed to go nt a
premium , and under President Harrison
every resource at the command of the gov
ernment will bo exercised to make the finan
cial record of the republican party true to
the best Interests of the country and the
people.
It can bo added In this connection , and as
n matter of Importance , that there is not the
slightest difference In regard to what Is
proper In judgment or' action that the in
coming secretary. Mr. Carlisle , is not thor
oughly committed to. Further than this. It
can bo stated that the Incoming president Is
thoroughly In accord with the declared
financial Intentions of President Harrison.
Opposition lit the Hounc.
At Mr Carlisle's request Representative
Jlayner of Maryland today made a careful
canvass of the house to discover the senti
ments of the majority in regard to
any further attempt at repeal legisla
tion and In regard to the Sherman
amendment to the sundry civil bill , author
izing the secretary to Issue bonds. Mr. Kay-
ncr was compelled to admit to Mr. Carlisle
that any further attempt to repeal the Sher
man act would bo useless , and that the oppo
sition to the Sherman amcudment for the
issue of bonds was so strong that ho doubted
its passage.
Mr. Carlisle made inquiries of leaders and
found Mr. Knyncr's canvass verified. It
is Stated on the best authority that
Mr. , Carlisle will Issue bonds , oven
if the Sherman amendment is defeated
in the house , because the Sherman bond bill
amendment simply enlarges the present
power of the secretary of the treasury to
Issue bonds under the redemption act. Mr.
Carlisle holds , as does Mr. Foster , that the
redemption act Itself confers ample authority
on the secretary ot the treasury to issue
T > onda.
llrnvy Deficit In Sight.
Another interesting feature of the financial
situation which has received but little atten
tion of late is the fact that the receipts of the
government will not bo surtlclcnt after the
next liscai year to meet the estimated ex
penditures. The figures submitted to con-
rcss uro within the limit , but In view of 'the
extraordinary Increase In pensions and the
great number of deficiencies now coming into
, ught ) , there is danger that is calling for nil
of Mr. Cleveland's forethought. Mr. Harri
son will have nothing to do with this , much
to his relief , hut it is the ona bugbear of the
li.comln.7 president.
To sum the whole situation up there is
the gold trouble , the silver problem and the
question of a deficiency standing up boldly
nnd badly for the anxious consideration of
the president-elect. There has not been so
interesting n combination of delicate
financial theories suggesting themselves for
many years , and , as Mr. Cleveland would
put ft , it Is a condition and not a theory
that confronts him , and it is in this condi
tion where lies the iwsslblo necessity 'of an
aarly extra session of congress.

\VAsinxaioN , U. C. , Fob. 31. The follow

Honolulu was received Saturday and was
made public today : "Affairs of state

This afternoon Mr. Paul Ncuman , the de
posed queen's envoy , called ut the State do-

tary Foster. A statement of the conference
between the two will bo sent to the presi
dent for transmission to the senate for con
sideration.
An additional batch of correspondence re
lating to Hawaii was sent to the senate this
afternoon under executive seal.
The character ot the light that has devel
oped against the Hawaiian treaty has caused
its friends considerable uneasiness nnd the
understanding is that they intend to make
on nttempt to hasten It through us the oppo
sition Is gaining strength.
Mr. Tucker of Virginia , Mr. Springer of
Illinois and others propose to gctu resolution
through the house to ascertain why a treaty
which will Involve the government In expen

has been submitted to the senate without
being submitted to the house also.

"WASHINGTON- . C. , Fob. 21. Tno question
of Issuing bonds to keep the gold reserve In
tact was discussed nt today's cabinet meet-
Ing. Secretary Foster Is understood to have
stated that t7Vi3,403 ! free gold was
in the treasury , minus $3,000,000 taken
from the Now York subtroasury for expert -
port today. It Is stated that Secretaries
Husk nnd Elklns sustained the presidents
position ngalnst the issue of bonds. Secre
tary Tracy , it is believed , sided with Secre
tary Foster in favor of
the Issuo. The re-
ault , It Is stated on peed authority , was a
decision not to Issue bonds now.
It cannot bo learned that any alternative
course of action was decided upon by the
cabinet in case the frco gold In the treasury
became exhausted. The feeling scorned to
bo that the emergency should not bo mot before -
fore U actually arrives. It Is suld that
President Harrison Is convinced that no ne
cessity will urlso for the sale of bonds to
maintain ' the parity of the two metals. Ho
has' repeated declared that ho will malntaiu
that jKirity by every means In his power.
The president Is credited with the belief
that ttii demand for gold for export Is not
only artificial , bat that It Is part ot A scheme.
Internal In Its scope , having for Its object the
Issue of bonds , When It becomes apparent
that no bonds will be Issued , his opinion is
said to bo that the heavy drafts upon the
treasury's paid will ceaso.

Kcport nrthn American Delegates Li Sent by
the I'rmldrnt to tlin Si > nnto.
WASIIIXOTOV , D. C. Feb. 21. The president
today sent to the senate the report of the
American delegates to the International
monetary conference held at Brussels , begin
ning November 22 , 1SW.
After referring to the program of the
United States , which was discussed
In all its phases , the delegates refer
to the report of the committee of twelve ,
which reported affirmatively upon the
ono proposition , that it was wise to with
draw from monetary circulation all the gold
coins and all paper money redeemable in gold
of a less denomination than HI , 20 fnines or
20 marks and substitute silver money for
them. In the discussion of the various re
ports the attitude of all the governments was
exposed. The recognition was general in the
conference of a monetary evil requiring a
remedy.
After citing copiously from speeches made ,
the text of the recess reason Is given. From
these proceedings , the delegates say , it will
bo seen that the conference is to reconvcno
on the 30th of May , IS'.Ki. ' In the meantime
it is expected that the plans already submit
ted nnd others that miy ; be submitted to the
president of the convention nnd by him
transmitted to the several governments
through their delegates will bo considered.
It is anticipated that the delegates upon the
reassembling of the conference will bo nblo
to state definitely the views of their respect
ive governments as to what plans are prac
ticable to secure the greater use of silver as
a part of the metallic money of the world.
In concluding their report the delegates
say they are glad to bear testimony to the
earnest wish of the conference that a plan ,
for tno enlarged use of silver for money , ac
ceptable to the nations and adequate to the
monetary situation , may result from its de
liberations. No recommendations or sugges
tions of any kind are made.
The report Is signed by W. B. Allison ,
chairman ; John P. Jones , James U. Mc-
Creary , Henry W. Cannon and E. Benjamin
Andrews. Edwin H. Terrill was not present -
sent when the report was signed.
Opposition to the .Sundry Civil Hill.
WASIUXOTOX , D. C. , Feb. 21. Matters are
getting Into a pretty bad shape for the clos
ing days of the session. In addition to the
light that is to bo made to defeat the sundry
civil bill , there Is going to bo a hard fight
made against the Indian appropriation bill.
Rockwell of New York voted against this
bill In committee and will bo recognized to
oppose It on the floor. The opposition will
have strength enough to prevent the passage
of the sundry civil bill under any parlia
mentary tactics that may bo adopted to get
it through. Its members say that they have
no hope of getting the Sherman amendment
out of the bill and that they do not pro
pose to take any chances , but will defeat
the -whole bill. They say that their plans
are all laid and that filibustering against the
bill will bo almost as strong as against sil
ver In the house. They will fight It by every
means known to parliamentary procedure
and they claim it will bo Impossible to pass
It under the rules. In fact they are certain
they will defeat the bill. This , of course ,
would make an extra session absolutely
necessary.

contrary , has partially promised to enter the

eral. It is believed that Mr. Dickinson's re
luctance to give up his largo private practice
has been overcome. His hurried trip to this
city was presumably to arrange his [ > crsonal
affairs so that , without great loss , ho can
accept a seat In the cabinet , and the fact
that Mr. Cleveland has given no sign as to
who Is to bo the next attorney general ,
coupled with his generally accepted deslro
to have Mr. Dickinson In the cablnut , is of
fered to substantiate the rumor.

ITS ENEMINES SHOW A STRONG FRONT
Consideration of the Postoftlco Hill Ito-
mined Speaker Crl.in Declines to Do-
clde a J'olut of Order Work of
the Scnnto Yesterday.
WASIIISOTOX , D. C. , Feb. 21. In the house
today the hours were mostly employed in
filibustering against the car coupler bill.
Sorao time was devoted to the iwstofllco ap
propriation bill , the debate on which was
confined to the "sjKwlal service" provision ,
but the car coupler was the ono which met
with determined opposition.
Mr. Ulchardson led the opposition forces ,
and by parliamentary tnaneuvres prevented
any action being taken on it.
Mr. Stump , from the committee on Immi
gration , rc | > orted the senate bill to facilitate
the enforcement of the Immigration and
contract labor laws.
The committee resumed consideration of
the nostoflico appropriation bill. The pendIng -
Ing action was ono appropriation $150G-U
for necessary and special facilities to trunk
lines from Springfield , Mass. , via New York
and Washington to Atlanta and New Or
leans. Mr. Dlckcrson offered an amendment ,
striking out the names of the terminal
points. Rejected. Yeas , 40 ; nays , 80.
An amendment was provided that none of
the appropriations for special mall facilities
should be expended unless the postmaster
general should deem such action proi > er for
the promotion of the postal service.
The hour nxcd for consideration of the car
coupler bill having arrived , the committee
rose and moved the reference of the bill to
the committee on commerce.
Filibustering Itognn ,
After some discussion on n point of order ,
as to whether the latter motion was debata
ble , the speaker ruled It was not.
The motion to refer was defeated yeas ,
01 : nays , 184.
Filibustering then began , and after various
dilatory motions a vote was ordered on a
motion to adjourn until Thursday.
No quorum appearing there wcro several
attempts made to reach a compromise. The
principal of these was made by Mr. Hatch.
Ho was , ho said , a friend of the pending
measure. Ho asked the speaker whether
this bill , pending on the speaker's table ,
would bo In the same condition tomorrow ,
after an adjournment , as it was today.
The speaker replied that ho did not llito to
answer the question without some examina
tion on the subject.
Mr. Hatch said that ho did not desire to
antagonize the bill , but ho was sure that the
friends of the bill ( and he came to the con
clusion after a careful examination of the
rules ) would lose nothing If the house ad
journed now , because the bill would be laid
before the body immediately after the ap
proval of the Journal tomorrow.
Mr. Bland But what does the speaker
say ?
Mr. Hatch-rl am trying to get his opinion
now.
now.Mr. . Wise I say to the friends of the bill
that they are not safe if they do not know
what will bo the decision of the chair. The
gentleman from Missouri Is endeavoring to
persuade the friends of the bill that it is safe
to adjourn , and I say to them it is not safe.
The Speaker The chair declines to decide
the question before It comes up.
Arose to u 1'olnt of Prlvllece ,
For an hour or more the house waited
patiently for the return of the absentees ,
but as none were brought forward by the
scrgeant-at-arms , Mr. Lind enlivened the
proceedings somewhat by rising to a ques
tion of privilege.
"Last " ho began "a largo
summer , , num
ber of gentlemen met at Chicago "
But hero ho was interrupted by the
speaker , who stated that during a call of the
house no question of privilege can bo enter
tained unless It arose out of the condition of
the body nt this time.
Mr. Lind replied that It was only the pres
ent condition of the house that impelled him
to rise to a question of privilege.
The Speaker Will the gentleman send
the paper which ho is about to read to the
chair !
Mr. Lind I can state the facts.
The Speaker ( smilingly ) But the gentle
men in stating facts may viola to the rules.
The paper ( which was the democratic
platform ) was not read and Mr. Lind with
drew the question of privilege.
Good for All Night.
At 11 p. m. there was no change In the sit

eral , amusing episodes but , taken as a whole ,
the session so far has been a dreary ono.
IN THE SENATE.
Nebraska's Now Senator's Credentials Pro-
soiited-Sumlry Civil II111.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Feb. 21. A subject
which gave rlso to a rather heated discus
sion was ono in reference to the expenses of
the soldiers homes and that discussion
drifted naturally to the question of pensions.
The credentials of William V. Allen as
senator from the state of Nebraska , from
the 4th of March next , In place of Mr. Pad
dock , wcro also presented and placed on fllo.
The consideration of the sundry civil ap
propriation bill was proceeded with , the
pending amendments being In regard to the
site for a now government printing ofllco
building. The amendments were voted
down , thus killing for the present , ut least ,
all cluinco of the purchase of a slto for a ,
new building. _
The amendment appropriating $800,000
( additional ) for the damages awarded ( and
costs ) in the condemnation of property for
the slto of the custom house building in Now
York City was agreed to.
Mr. Hawley moved to increase the appro
priation for the Soldiers National homo at
Santa Monica , Gal. , from $70,000 to $80,000.
Mr. Gorman appealed to Mr. Hawley not
to press the amendment. The pension ap
propriation contained appropriations to the
amount of $ ll > i,000,000. As sure as the sun
would rlso on the first day of July next ,
there would bo a deficiency of from $13,000-
000 to f 15,000,000-no man could tell how
much. Ho therefore submitted that itwas
tlmo to halt and say that the matters of
pensions should termlnato ut some point
short of absolute-bankruptcy of the treas
ury.
Sir. Itau-lpjr in Karncst.
Mr. Hawley declared that ho would foreo
tno additional appropriation with all his
power.
Mr. Palmer did not think that any politi
cal party would ever refuse to make proper
appropriations for pensions. It had been n
race between political parties for many years
as to which should bo most earnest in their
liberality to the old soldiers and ho appre
hended that that race would continue so
long as the old fellows amounted to so much
as they do at the polls.
Mr. Gorman In reply to Mr. Hawley said
there seemed to bo a dcslro on the other stdo
of thochamber to pile up the obligations of
the government until the democratic party
would have no escape from having to In
crease the taxes of the people.
QAfter further discussion Mr. Hawley's
amendment was agreed to , as were also some

the residents of Bellevue Island. For sev
eral weeks past a big revival has been in
progress at that place under the conduct of
a Holiness denomination from'across the
river , and which has resulted In the con
version of nearly every person residing upon
the island and many others from abroad , in
cluding persons who in the early meetings
were the source of considerable annoyance
to the worshipers. It was to witness the
ordinance of baptism administered to the
converted members that hundreds assem
bled on the banks of the Missouri this after
noon. Ono oy ono the converts \voro
plunged through an airhole in the Ice. Many
evidences of the faith of the converts were
manifest while the cbrcmonies were being
performed , ono remarkable case being that
of a young woman who received the "power"
while in the freezingwater. The meetings
are still in full blast and are being attended
by people who como from.miles away. Many
more conversions are expected.

standing room was taken long before the

mence Sunday evening. Many who could
not gain admittance attended the overflow
meeting. Mr. Wilson took for his tcirt John
ill , 15-17 , anil showed that people were not
lost for sins committed , but because of their
rejecting Jesus Christ as thsir savior ;
neither were they , saved for the good deeds
they did , but by accepting Christ. Ho also
argued that no ono had over lived and kept

Mrs. Willson ' 'The

Hundreds were unable to gain admlttanco
to Union hall last evening to hear the sacred
concert given by the evangelist and his wife
and daughter. While about 1,500 people
were ilndlng scats and standing room the
congregation united with the choir In sing

sang "The Model Church , " "Wero YouThero

tlful piece she had recently composed but
had not sung , "Tho Dear Old Homo , " her
husband uniting in the choruses.
Mr. Wlllson made u few remarks for tem
perance , saying if all the temperance people
would unite they would soon banish from
this beautiful city all the saloons. Tne re
marks were greeted with loud applause.
The choir sang "Tno Temperance Ship is

The concert was of a very high order and
all present were delighted with the sweet

The union gospel meetings will be con

SOLD THE SIIEEDY ESTATE
Closing Chapter of a Very Sensational Lin
coln Oaso.
SMALL PRICE FOR THE PROPERTY
Intercuts of tlin Widow Continue. ! ID the
Litigation Incident to Her Trial
Itnrlpnr of the Cole *
lirntcd Affair.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Fob. 21. [ Special to Tnn
BKB. ] The real'estate of the late John
Sheedy was sold at the court house this
afternoon under an order of the court , asked
for by the widow , Mnry'Shcedy , but whoso
petition for a partition of the estate was bit
terly fought by the other heirs , the two
brothers and two sisters of the deceased. It
will bo remembered that Shoedy was mur
dered on the porch of his residence In Janu
ary , 1891. His wlfo was arrested as an ac
cessory , and after a sensational trial , In
which Sheedy's brothers hired attorneys to
assist in the prosecution , she was acquitted.
Soon afterwards she began suit to have
his property divided , and her claim for one-
half the estate under the now decedents'
law was fought by the other heirs on the
ground that It was unconstitutional , but be
fore reaching a decision In the supreme court
the other heirs withdrew their appeal.
It was under this order that the property
was sold today. The home property at
Twelfth nnd P streets was purchased by J.
H. McMurtry fo'r $ 'J4.f > OU : business block at
IW P street by F. M. Hull for 1SUOO : half
interest in a lot opposite Capital hotel for
$ naV ) , to August Sanders ; residence prop
erty at Eighteenth and Q streets to J. H.
McMurtry for $1,800 , and a farm in Clay
county to Dennis Shccdy for J7.V ) . Total ,
$1'JCOO. The property is worth nearly
S70.000 , and It Is doubtful if the sale will bo
fully continued. The widow's half Is sub
ject to a mortgage for SIL'.MX ) , given Stearns
it Strode , two of the attorneys who de
fended her , and It is very probable that the
balance of the amount coining to her has al
ready been eaten up by the other expenses
incident to the trial. It la the closing chap
ter of a very sensational case.
