Dr.NVKit , Jan. 15. "Sinbad" was to have
been played at the Tabor opera house all
this week , but Manager David Henderson
would not allow uis compiny to appear to
night , tor tlio reason , as ho alleged , that the
'labor musicians could not play the music
which they had boon practicing for two
weeks. The house was packed from pit to
dome , but shortly after 8 o'clock a rep
'rescntativo of the management/nunounce.1
that the ' 'American Extravaganza
" had broken their
company" engage
ment and consequently there wou'd be
no performance. Manager Pace of the opera
house , anticipating Manager Henderson's
Dclion , had obtained from Judge Graham
writs of no oxe.it , forbidding Mr. Hender
son and his players to leave the state or to
remove from the theater tlio accessories of
the play. Mr. Henderson immediately ar-
rnngcu to glvo bonds and have the writs
quashed. The Tabor has boon under a labor
boycott nil the season on account of ox-Sena
tor Tabor's refusal to pay a note for $023
for back salary duo Ferdinand Stark's
orchestra. Mr. Henderson offered to pay
this note if competent union musicians
could bo secured for the week , but
union musicians would not consent to
play nt the Tabor unless they , would bo re
tained permanently.
Scnor John Trachltollo , leader of the
Tabor orchestra , declared that Advance
Agent Dollon of the Kxtrnvaganza company
had expressed himself as. satisfied with Iho
manner In which they had played the music.
Mr. Henderson denies this anil say.s ho notl-
Hod the Tabor management weeks ace that
ho would cancel his contract unless compe
tent musicians were provided , nnd ho wou'.d
not have the performance spoiled by poor
music. Ho says llvo members of the orches
tra positively could not ronit the swro.
Tonight Manager Henderson bought off

ponrall the week at the Broadway and

SnciiKTAiir , WASHINGTON , Jan. 13 , 18SM.
Hon. D. W. Voorhoes , chairman committee
on finance , United States senate. Dear
Sir : In compliance with your verbal re
quest , I have the honor to submit for the
consideration of the llnanco committee of the
.senate statements , showlne the actual con
dition of the treasury on the 12th day of the
present month , und an estimate of receipts
and expenditures during the remainder of
this month and tno month of February. It
will bo seen from this statement that there
Is an urgent necessity for such immediate
action as will replenish the coin reserve , aud
enable this department to continue the pay
ment of public expenses and discharge the
obligations of the government to pensioners
and other lawful creditors.
Ktllmntod Dclicloncy.
"When my annual report was prepared It
was estimated the expenses durine the cur
rent llscal year would exceed the receipts to
the amount of $23,000,000 , and I asked con
gress for authority to [ ssuo nnd sell bonds ,
or other forms of obligations , loan amount
not exceeding $50,000.000 , bearing a low rate
of interest and having a reasonably short
time to run , to enable the secretary of the
treasury to supply such dullclenclcs as might
occur in the revenues. The estimate then
made was baso'i ' upon the assumption that
the worst effects of our financial disturb
ances had already been realized , and there
would bo a substantial increase In the reve
nues for the remainder of the year.
While it is not believed the defi
ciency then existing will bo supplied
by increased revenues In the future , it is
hoped no additional deficiency will occur ,
but the receipts and expenditures during
the mouth of December nnd up to the 12th
day of the present month , show that the
estimate of a deficiency of 23,000,000 at the
close of the year was much too low.

"It will apponi-from this statement that
the coin rcsi.'rvo has been reduced to $74-
(111Ml ( ) and it is evident from the
condition of the treasury that the
department will hnvo no means to
defray the ordinary expenses of the povorn-
mi'iit unless a largo nart of the payments
are hereafter made from that fund. If this
is done the coin reserve will bo reduced by
the 1st of February to nbout.CO,001SIM. a sum
wholly Inaucciunto for the purpose for which
It was created. On account of this
critical rendition of the treasury I have
considered it my duty , in addition to
the earnest recommendations contained in
my annual report , to appear twlco before
your committee and , after a full explanation
of the situation , urge prompt legisla
tive action on this subject. With
the permission of Iho committee
I have ptopared and presented
forits consideration a bill which. If promptly
passed , would , In my opinion , meet all ro.
( lulrcinonts of the situation , by providing the
necessary means for defraying the public ex-
penscs and replenishing the coin rcsorvo to
such mi extent as to assure tlio maintenance
of the parity of nil forms of United States
currency , while this proposed measure of
relief has not yet been disposed of or oon-
sldorod by the commllteo , tno great differ
ences of oplclon which are known to exist In
both branches of congress coin'i'i-ninir the
propriety of granting additional or aim-tided
authority to Isauo bonds in any f.irm or for
any purpose , roudnr It doubtful whotiiornow
legislation upon the subject can bo secured
in Hum to provide the wans , which are im-
poratlvoly demanded hi order to preserve
the credit and honor of the government.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 15. In the last appro

which elves the list of persons Holding posi
tions in the different departments , a pro
vision wns Inserted requiring that the num
ber of employes by states bo furnished.
This provision has been carried out In the
book just published. Ueprcsontutivo llouolc
of Tennessee has made a comparison of
these figures with the census of 1800 , show
ing : the number of ofllcos each state would
bo entitled to according to the population.
His object is to show that many states , In
the south particularly , have not a Just pro
portion. Ills figures show that ttio scales of
Alabama , Arkansas , Florida , Georgia , Ken-
Hieicy , Louisiana , Mississippi , North Carolina
lina , South Carolina , Tennessee , Texas and
Vermont have 2,515 persons in oflloo , about
800 fewer than the District of Columbia.
Air. Honck thinks the civil service commit
ted should make no more certificates from
states which have a full quota , and that
these which have more than their share
should bo speedily reduced.

manner : . "The governor and the sheriff
dare not interfere. "
"Why not' " was asked.
'Because either would bo liable to Impris
onment and line , and perhaps both. "
This was laughed at , when the attorney
said : "Wait a moment und I will show you. "
Procuring a copy of the city ordinances
ho turned to whcro it stated that any per
son found guilty of Interfering with , or pre
venting the operation of any of the ordi
nances , was liable to a line of $100 or im
prisonment for thirty days.
Judge Gibbons of the municipal court was
asked if the law had been rightly inter
preted.
"It Is true , " said Judge Gibbons , "by In
terfering with the Corbett-Mltchcll con
test the L'overuor/sherlff or militia would bo
liable to line and i imprisonment. The ordi
nance allowing such acontest , cannot bo In
terfered with oven by tno governor. "
"What would you 'do if the executive
should bo brought before you on such a
uhariro ? "
"Well , " replied , the .Judge , "I should bo
governed by clrcuuistatC03. ) At any rate I
should do my duty. "

Mitchell Is no coward and I believe ho

what had been accomplished had not been
done In n workmnnltko manner. Ho also re
ported that In several cases the material
used was not up to contract. Tlio furnaces
in the Saratoga , Franklin , Lothrop , Colum
bian and Windsor schools wcro cited as ex
amples. The report was referred for inves
tigation.

The matter of heating the Hickory school
was brought uu by a report from President
Powell.- The report stated that on Decem
ber 27 the board had passed a resolution In
structing the president and secretary to
sign a contract with the Fuller
& Warren company to put in
their system. However , the contract and
bond hud never been submitted to the attor
ney nnd the board for approval as was required -
quired by the rules , anil on this account the
president had not signed the contract , but
referred the whole matter back to the board
for action. The report was accom
panied by n voluminous statement of
the records in the matter up to datu
and also by a written opinion from the
attorney of the board , which declared that
the resolution ordering the contract to bo
signed was void from the fact that it con
flicted with the established rules of ttio
board. The matter was referred for investi
gation.
Wnnt li School llullillni ; .
The residents of Bedford and Druid Hill
additions presented n long petition urging
the board to erect a school building in that
locality. The matter was referred.
Superintendent A. W. Clark of Rescue
hall wanted to appropriate tunds for slop
ing the bank at Sixth nnd Hickory streets ,
the work to bo performed by some of the HOO
men who were iu his care waiting for a Job.
The petition represented that the bank was
in a dangerous condition. There was a dif
ference of opinion as to whether the bank
was the property of the board , and the mut
ter was referred to the committee on build
ings and property , with power to act.
Chinees Against n Toucher.
Rev. John Williams informed the board
that Miss MeUcio , a teacher in the High
school , had on various occasions scoffed at
the inspiration of the blblo before her pupils.
Ho wanted Miss McGee reprimanded nnd
was referred to the committee on teachers.
Mr. Klguttcr moved that the bids for
leasing the Izard street school site bo re
turned unopened. Ho explained that bids
had becu advertised for on only three of the
four lots nnd since then it hud appeared
more expedient to dispose of all of the lots.
The motion prevailed nud the secretary was
instructed to readvertiso In accordance with
that idea.
QTtie bond of Samuel , Mncleod ns superin
tendent of buildings was npproved. 0. E.
Hales itnd William Higgins are tils surotlos.
The contractor J. J. Hannogan for plumb

was not satisfied with his bondsmen.
The superintendent of buildings was
directed to complete the work on the Hartman -
man sutiool building nud report the cost to
the board.
ICutruiiclinioiit Committee llnporU.
The special committee on retrenchment

mis completed , and lint the superintendent
jf buildings bo i&slructcd not. to employ any
inoro men except under the direction of the
Doard or of the committee on supplies. Thu
report was adopted and the committee con
tinued.
A resolution was passed providing for the
l > urchusoof two typewriters for the sucro-
.ary's olllco.
The question of the consideration of the
report of the special committee on training
icliools showed a divergence of opinion.
Several members wished to adopt the report
it once while others wanted to postpone it
for further consideration. Mr. Klgutter
stated that ho wished to put him
self on record ns opposed to thu
training school from the beginning , Ilo
believed that the school was unconsti
tutional. Thcro wore at the present tlmo
petitions on flic , in which taxpayers vigor
ously protested against the practice of put
ting tlieir children under the tuition of tlio
training scnool cadets , who , in many cases ,
wuro totally iucompoti'iit. Mr. Klguttor
considered the report of the committee In
detail , and pointed out some of tue pro
visions which ho could not indorse. The
motion to adopt the report was lost by u
close voto.
A resolution from Dr. Duryoa , providing
that each commit lee keep a Journal of its

tlon of nbout $7.1 , ( XX ) of the funds of tna
1'rcshyicrlan hospital , of which Institution
ho was president. Mr. liogtio admits that
there is some entanglement with the hospi

up Immediately. Last summer ho made nn
assignment nnd withdrew from the big real

the misplacing of tlio hospital funds was tno
result of his financial embarrassment.
Among the other transactions developments
regarding the sale of Kov. Anderson's homo ,
which was thositbjoctof a suppressed law
suit , show that Mr. lloguo paid Dr. Anderson
f 10,1)00 or $1 .0 < X ) to avoid going Into court
over this matter. Another peculiar deal oo
purred about two years ago. Henry A.

that only $10,000 had been paid ot the $75.000 ,
and that Mr. Hoguo was using the balance.
Mr. Hoguu , in an Interview , explains that
this matter was "adjusted. " The flnanco
committee of the hospital Is making an
