WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. The houp ? texliy pjEsoa the lioml bill by A vote Ot ICO to 13G , nncl thus , having discharged the tank fcr which It hits been pitting during the holiday recess , effected an agreement by which the hoil 3 should adjourn next wetk , three days nt a time , In order to Rlvc members an op portunity to spend Now Year's day at their liome.3. The closing hours of the debate to-1 iljy wcn lacking In spirit , nnd there was practically no excitement until th ? vote was taken. The margin of thirty-three , by which tin 'firft section of the bill , against which the roptlhllcin opponents of the measure ina.sseil their opposition , was passed , showed that the friends of the measure had marshaled every available vote In Its favr. AH It WHH forty-seven republicans refused to net with the majority of their party. The populists nnd democrat ! ' , with the exception of Mr. Hutchcsou of T xas , who voted for the bill , presented nn unbroken front aRalnot the bill. The bill , as patse-J , amende the rei'itmptlon acts BO n to permit the Issue of : i per cent coin bonds , rcdccmablo after IIvo years nt thu pleasure * of the government , mid payable In fifteen yearn , with the- specific piovlso that nothing In tlis bill shall bo con- t'trucil ' lo repeal thsuct of 1S78 for the roltisuo of the Rivenback.i , nnd that the bonds Khali first be ottered ftr subscription at the r.uMieistirles and depot'lUrlcs of the United SUtsa The wcontl t'cetlon ot the bill pro- vlilcj for HID ISHULof three-year 3 per cenl d bt ccrtillcatCH of denominations of $20 anil multiple ! ) thereof , In amounts not exceeding $50.000,000 , to meet temporary deficiencies. Mr. Ilrosslus , republican of I'ennsylvaula , opened the debate In favor of the bill. Tills- was the only country on the globe , ho said , whuro gold redemption had neither qiiall- flwtlcn nor limitation , and whsrs the trcaiv ury was without the power to resist the Incursions of foreign gold grabbers or specu lators. The revenue deficit was the chlcl sinner In the comedy of errors which had produced the present troubles. It was not suitable to the dignity of the government to employ the sleuth hounds of foreign syn dicates to hunt down gold. The people ol this country fhould have the first oppor tunity to help the treasury out of the trough of the financial en. He declared that there was no politics In the bill. Mr , I'arker , republican of New Jersey , . favored the bill as a good business measure Mr. McLnnrln , democrat of South Carolina , opposed It because It would Increase the burden of the people already taxrldden and would tcinl to legalize a series of usurpations nf power by the secretary of the treasury. If the secretary would use his discretion and redeem notes In sliver , the gold raids would stop and new hope would bo Infused Into the- democratic party , now crushed by the financial policy of the administration. MADE A COMPARISON. Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois , In sup port of the measure declared that It was a bill to maintain specie payments , which had bsen resumed under the wise direction of the republican party In 1879. For the thir teen years following the resumption the reve nues had always exceeded the expenditures. Twelve hundred millions of the Interest payIng - Ing debt had been discharged. Since Mr. Cleveland's election In 1892 , dcflclsncy , dis tress. Idleness nnd panto had followed. In stead of paying $100,000,000 a year on the public debt , the democrats had borrowed $102,000,000. They could tear down and criticise , but they could not build up the reserve. ( Republican applause.Vo ) will not abridge the power of the necretary of the treasury , " ho con cluded. "We wll give him more power. He cannot have to : > much power If It Is usei wlsly. You , on the ether side , -will vote ngalnst this bill ; thosj In favor of silver al 10 to 1 because you want to Impair the crcdll of the country and force us to a silver basis and those who support the administration be cause It wants gold bonds. Wo In our judgment and patriotism stain ready to pass this bill. If It Is rejected by the snnte or president we shall at least have cast our mlto toward the protection of the public credit nnd have given a prophecy ol what wo shall do when we come Into ful power In 1897. " ( Republican applause. ) Mr. Bartl'tt , democrat of New York , said In his opinion the passage of the pending bill , Instead of strengthening the. financial ability and credit cf the government , would lead to further panic and avowed that he was for the maintenance of the gold standard until the powers of the world agreed to the coinage ol silver. WOULD ISSUE MORB BONDS. Mr. Tawney , republican of Minnesota , r. member of the ways and means committee. In support of the bill , calUd attention to the president's urgent appeal to congress to do something trforo adjourning. He knew and everybody knew that gold bonds would not bo authorized by congress and In the belief that congress would not give him authority he and Ills secretary of the treasury had already reopened n'gotlatlons with the same old mnlojcroiis syndicate for another Issue of 4 per cent bonds. The people of the 'country were to be given no opportunity to subscribe. He read Kev.ral letters from con stituents offering to subscribe for gold bonds. Mr. Ballsy , democrat of Texas , In outlining the attitude of tuo silver democrats , said that they had desired to offer as a substitute for the bill a measure that would , In lilt' ' opinion , render the further sale of bonds unnecessary. As a plain , business proposi tion , the treasury should coin the silver seigniorage. That would furnish the trasury $ & 3,000,000 of additional assets. He argued that bullion In the trcazury might tufely be coined without disturbing the parity between silver and gold. Tli * idvocatcs of the gold standard would ultimately force the retirement of paper unless Its redemotlon In silver could bo brought about , lincler Hie present policy the danger always existed' that the financial In stitutions cf the country might combine to coerce the treasury. Succssslvo geld with drawals and bond Issues might be forced un til the public debt was Increased Indefinitely. Mr. Marsh , republican of Illinois , arose to give his reasons for refusing his support to tin bill , but before ho had finished his pre liminary remarks the gavel of the ppeaksr fell and the housa remained unenlightened. Mr. Connolly , republican of Illinois , who Ind been counted on as an opponent of the bill , gave his support to It In a brU'f speech. Ho tmU that If he bed been framing the bill ho would have changed the language of the bill so as to make It read "In lieu" of the power now given the secretary of the treasury Instead of "In addition" to that power. His announcement that he had finally decided to vote for the bill was greeted with republican applause. Mr , Hopkins , republican of Illinois , in sup port of the bill argued that ther- was no neceralty for the Issue of gold bonJs. Time nnd the treasury's exptrlcnce with the bond Issue bad demonstrated that gold bonds sslil abroad had returned to this country. There wn ample gold here to supply the needs of the treasury. Mr. Payne , republican of New York , called attention to the fact that the administration was already prepared to lssu $100,000,000 of thirty-year bcnl . Th's was I ha emergency that this bill met by a reduction of the In terest. HAS TUB AUTHORITY. "Tho president's messag ? , " Interrupted Mr. Llnney , republican of North Carolina , "mys that the $155,000,003 of diver certificate ! Is sue. 1 against the liilllcn purchased under the act of 1890 constituted gud obligators. Why did not the ways and means committee pro vide fcr tli5 colimga of that bullion and the redemption cf these notes In silver ? " ( Dem ocratic applause ) . "The iwcrctary now has authority to coin and redeem the Sheman notes , " replied Mr , Payne. "Hut ono thing at a time , this bill proposes to give the government the funds to redeem Jts obligations In gold. " He argued that the 'purpose of the administration was to sll the kiuiu to the Morgan syndicate at an ex orbitant rate of Interest and throw the re- iponi'lblllty on a republican congress. Mr. Ruisel , republican of Connecticut , sup ported the bill briefly , and Mr. Crls > p ff' tcorgft : then tlusl for the democratic fide. j CLOSED FOR TUB OPPOSITION. Mr. Crisp closed the debate for his side. He said he would endeavor to bring the house back to the rwl Issue. The president had pointed out to congress that the gold reserve was diminishing and had appealed to congress not to adjourn until some relief was afforded. That was a plain business proposition. "You , gentlemen , " he sold , addressing the re-publican side , "should either act upon II or decline to net upon It. You should not piny politics and claim you are acting In re sponse to the president's message. The presi dent says there. Is no deficiency. The offi cial statement shows $175,000.000 In the treas ury. Hut the president asks to retire the greenbacks and to authorize the treasury to soil gold bonds. " "Ii the gentleman from Georgia In favor of It ? " asked Mr. Bontellex "I am not , " replied Mr. Crisp , amid a roar of laughter on the republican side. "Our op position to this measure , " ho proceeded , "Is united ; these on this side who favor the elnglo gold standard , because It affords no relief to the treasury : those who concur with mo In the belief that these bonds are pay able In coin at the option of the government because they think there Is no necessity for It. Gentlemen on that side believe the obli gations of the government should be paid In cold. If you bellc.ve that you owe It to your country you owe It to your treasury nnd to the tax burdened people of the country to vote to obtain gold and save the addltlona Interest charges. If I believed as you do should have felt myself unworthy to linger here for the American people If I failed to support a proposition that would save the millions. " ASKED A FEW QUESTIONS. Ho called attention to the fact tha Speaker Heed , Mr. Dlngley , Mr. 1'nyno am others last year voted with a large numbe : of democrats to Issue "gold bonds. " Ho sail the object of the other sldo was simply tc do something In response to the demand o the executive , when they knew they are ab Eolntcly doing nothing unless.lt was to Injure nnd embarrass the treasury. "Is my friend from Georgia arguing1 asked Mr. Danielle , "that wo ought to fol low the advice of the president and Issue goh bonds ? " "My argument Is , " replied Mr. Crisp , "tha If you believed na you claim , that the obllga lions of the govrcnmont were payable Ii gold , you b'nnuld have * the courage to vote to Insert the word 'gold. ' " Mr. Iloutello Hut does the gentleman from Georgia think he Is going to help the cnxll of the country to any extent by proclaiming to the world his belief that he does no think the bonds are payable In gold ? Mr. Crisp I am not parading my views I was only arguing as to the want of con slctcncy of Hie. . gentlemen on the other sld ; I owe It to myself to say tha I do not believe In the retirement of"n greenbacks ; that I do not believe In the single standard ; that I do not believe In con trading the currency of this country ns I would be contracted by the retirement c the greenbacks. Nor do I believe In op pressing the debtors of this country am of the world as they would be oppressed by fixing the standard of value wholly upon ono metal. ( Applause. ) Mr. Dalzell , republican of Pennsylvania closed the debate ? for the majority. "At th conclusion of this somewhat protracted dc bate , " said lie , "It will be my purpose simply to gather up the thread of the argumen and to ascertain as nearly as may b > whsre we- now stand. The pending measure con tnlns two simple propositions , easy of com prehension by any Intelligent man. So fa as the second proposition is concerned , do not propose to discuss It. I do not un dcrstnnd that It will men with any substan tlal opposition In the house on either sldo o the chamber. The first proposition Is simply to add to existing laws the power In the hands of Hie president of the United States to Issue another kind of bond. Under the act of 1S75 the president has the power to borrow money and to Issue bonds running thirty years nnd bearing per cent Interest or bends running ten years nnd bearing 5 per cent Interest. The proposition now before the house Is to add to his power so that he may Issue bonds bearing 3 per cent and run nlng fifteen years , and redeemable after five years , at1 the option of the government. CITED SOME FIGURES. "Now I am nt loss to understand ho\ there can bo any pot-slble objection to phc Ing this power In ths hands of the president If you asiimt that ho may reach out thlrtj years In the future nnd mortgage the earn Ings cf p : erity , ought he not to have Ih much lesser power ta loruo bonds running only fifteen year and drawing Interest a the rate of only 3 pr cent. Now as .a plain practical proposition , let me cite to you som figures. Slnco the calamity of this demo cratlo administration has fallen upon u therci have been Itemed $162,000,000 of bonds $100.000,000 of those bonds bzarlng interes at th ? rate cf 5 p r cent and running ten yeani ; $62,000,000 of these bonds run thirty years and bear Interest at the rate of 4 per cent. Upon the first Issu ? we pay in Interest $50,000,000. Upon the pcond Issue we piy In Interest $75,000,000. In othtr word since thlo democratic administration cam Into power , bonds have been istmed undo existing laws which place upon the shoulder of our people In the shape of Interest ? 12.r , 000,000. If the bill that Is now pending be fore tlilt ) house had been a Uw upon the otatutu books we wculi ) have pild $24,300 , OOa , or In other words , If It had been a law It would have uived to the poopl > of the United Stateu $100,700,000. " ( Applause on th republican sldo ) . The vote was taken 'on the flnU fectloi of the bill amid a great dell of suspens and nervousness.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 28.The prosecutloi of the joint traffic association of eastern trunl lines recently formed In New York City will be begun Immediately by the govaru ment. The decision of the Interstate Com merce commission , holding the association to b ? a violation of the Interstate commerce law , has besn forwarded by Attorney Gen eral Harmon to the United States dlstrlc attorney for New York , with an official com muntcatlon , and the latter doubtless wtl endeavor nt once to prevent the carrying out of the agreement. The procdure doubt less will be by Injunction against the mem bcrs of the association. This. It Is assumed will be served upon several of the roads tha are members and which arj within the Jurisdiction of New York state. Ths- case after decision bv the United States fedora court , whichever side wlur. will be appealei to the court of app-nls , and ultimately to th United States supreme court. Ths serving of Injunctlony asalm-t the roads within ons jurisdiction , that of eastern New York , Is made- because of the objection to the multiplicity of suits and the consc quent enormous cost to the government. At the same time It Is possible that other dts trlct attorneys may be advised by the De partment of Justice later to take step against the roads within their jurisdiction. The action of the courts In the case , it Is believed , will depend very materially upon the decision of the Transmlssourl Freight associ ation agreement case , which is nnw pending for argument in the United States suprem : court. This case was brought first In the federal court In Kansas end was appealei by the government to the supreme court where It will probaly bs argued In March cr April. Attorney General Harmon is ex pected to present the government's con tentions In the final hearing. Chairman Slorrlson of the Interstate Com merce cdmmlssion said today the prosecution Of the matter now practically rests with ths Department of Justice and that all Informa tion which comes Into the possession of the commission will be forwarded to the attornej general for his Information. "I cannot tell what action the attorney general will take In the matter , whether by Injunction or other procedure. We have sub mitted the matter to him , and the district at torney after Investigating nil the papers In tha care la In doubt as to what steps he should take. He will undoubtedly ask for further Instruction from the attorney gsneral and proceed accordlncly. There have been complaints of this nature before' and prose cution made , but whether action is to be taken against the traffic association as an entirely , or its members or any memb2r individually , rests entirely with the' Depart ment of Justic ! .

The cable repor : rom Constantinople that the United States ienlcd the right of Turkey to prevent the passage of warships through the Dardanelles brings out the fact that this government has jonstantly declined to admit such a right and while It has not recently had occasion to make an Issue with Turkey upon this sub ject , ministers to the country have been cau tioned to go no further than to recognize the exclusion as a usage and not as a right. President PlercsIn 1854 , first laid down the doctrine tliat this government was de termined to maintain the freedom of the .traits and of the great natural channels ol navigation , and to deny the right of a nation to treat ono ot tne great maritime highways of nations as a close sea and prevent Its navi gation frcoly. In the cas ? of Turkey , Secretary Fish , In IS71 and 1872 , regarded the abstract right of the Turkish government to obstruct the Dar danelles as a serious question and ( elt that n proper occasion might In the future arise , for us to dispute the applicability of the claim as to United States men-of-war , but mean while It was deemed expedient to acquiesce In the exclusion. There has been no recent assertion of this doctrine. Xot NurprlHiMl at CnrllHlc'N VliMVH. WASHINGTON , Dec. 28.

WASHINGTON , Dsc. 28.-Reprosentatlve W. A. Smith of Michigan Introduced In the housj yesterday a bill embracing a new plan to absorb the greenbacks and treasury notes and release In their stead the gold held by banks as reserve. The bill lias been sub mitted to Senator Sherman , . Chairman Ding- Icy of the ways and means committee and Comptroller Eckels , Mr. Smith says , and has been approved by them. It provides that national banks In the cities of Albany , Baltimore , Boston , Cincinnati , Chicago , Cleveland , Detroit , Louisville , Milwaukee , N w Orleans , New York , Philadelphia , Pitts- burg , St. Louis , San Francisco and Washing ton nhall keep on hand In United States and treasury notes an amount equal to at least 25 per cent of their notes In circula tion and tliolr depoelts and that all other banking associations shall retain at least 1C per cent. When these reserves fall below the amounts given the bill provides tha banks shall not Increase their liabilities by making new loans and discounts except by pur chasing or discounting bills of exchange payable at eight ; nor pay a dividend until the resrves uro restored to the required amount , Also the comptroller nnd secretary of the treasury may after thirty days' notice put In the hands of a receiver to be closed banks that fall to maintain the required reserves. The principal change which Mr. Smith's plan proposes Is the substitution of United States notes and treasury np.tes , which In clude the greenbacks and demand paper for the present requirement ofj.'jjattfful money , " for the reserves.

WASHINGTON , Dfc. 28 , Official calcula- lens made In Russia and transmitted to the tate department by United States Convul Ger.fNl Karcl at St. Petersburg * how that the present y ar's harvest ot cereals In the whole world Is much imaller than last year's , and , compared with 1S94 , the decrease In wheat Is 150.467,000 burhels and In rye t2S.971.009 bushels. Other grains turned out better. In Russia th > harvest was short 65,371,733 brshrl.i of wheat and SS.345.42S bushels of rye.

Circulars have be n Issued by Commissioner of Labor Wright to labor leaders In the United States asking for suggestions fcr topics for brief original Inquiries by the department. The matters are required to bo ncn-partlsnn and to relate to the general welfare of the people. Among the responses Is one from the Knights of Uibor general oxecutlvn board , suggesting the question of the feasibility of the govern ment opening opportunities tor employment on government works to all snich citizens as cannot secure work at any private employ ment. The teller of the Knights of Labor closes as follows : "Dcfoi'o the question of abolishment of enforced Idleness and Its nt- trndint miseries , nnd securing opportunities for nil the men of the nation to earn an honest living by honest work , all other public questions pnle Into Insignificance. It you will Inko Iwo of your bet' , men and Ut them work on this qu stlon with energy nnd Intelligence for two months , nnd make nn honest , fearless report on what they find , no work you have ever done since you took chargri of your offlcs- will do yourself nnd the Department ot Labor so much honor nnd cr dlt as this work tending to throw light en the dark subject of enforced Idleness and Involuntary poverty.

Open ii Safe Karly In the Kvenlttir In an Oeeniileil llonne. NE\V YORK , Dec. 28. One strange feature of the theft last night of 157.000 worth of Jewels from the roildcnce of 1. Townsend Burden Is the f.ict tlwt at the time of the robbery , which Is supposed to have been about 10 o'clock , noiH of the servants had retired and that I. Townsend Burden , Jr. , and a party of friends were In the house playing cards. Young Mr. Bur den says that p.'Veral times he heard per sons moving In the house , but supposed that they were servants , and he paid no attention , to the noise. Nothing In the house except the safe was disturbed. Thi > burglar appears to have known exactly where to place his hands upon the safe nnd the Jewels' . The door of the safe was not broken , which gave evidence that either the person who took the diamonds knew the combination or else that Mr ? . Bur den left the safe door open when she went to the opera. Among the jewels taken from the safj was a diamond nccklaco worth $15- 000 and another necklacs of net such great value , of solitaire diamonds nnd parlH. The servants , who have all been questioned closely , say that they heard no nolso and had not the slightest Idea that tlu place hail bsen robbed until Informed of It by Mrs. Burden when she returned from the opcm. The police maintain a rigid tllcnce on the subject of the robbery today , and nt tha Burden residence all Inquiries arc met with the statement that the matter Is out of the hands of the Inmates. THIS STI3AMI3K IS UNKOHTI1XATI3. StrntliiievlM SeeiiiH to lie IMirMneil liy .Several Kliiiln of Unit I.ueU. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. . Dec. 28. Mls- fortune seems determined to follow the steamship Strathncvls to the lact. She was ordered to proceed to Tacoma to land her passengers and cargo preparatory to going : on the dry dock for repairs. A gale was blowing from the southwest. Two largo tugs , took her In tow , and ns she was about to round Point Marrowstonc , bound up the sound , a squall of wind came up , nnd for a few moments the vessel became unmanage able. Had not the tug Sea Lion nu'hcd to the rescue with new hawsers , the old ones having parted , It Is quite probable she would have drifted ashore. Just ns the Strathnevls was leaving Port Townsend a United States marshal arrived from Seattle- and libelled ths vessel In behalf ot the management of the rescuing steamer Mlneola , a corporation that IB controlled by the Southern Pacific. Th : libel was Uuued out of the district court of Seattle , and la raid to b : for $150,000. An Important point In this matter Is now under discussion be tween the conflicting Interests relative to the disposition of the salvage when recovered. The Canadian Pacific Steamship company wants n site ? of the salvagJ , and will ask for the modest sum of $250,000 , one-third ot the value of the vessel and cargo.

A Washington special , to the Journsl-Prcss quotes Senator Palmer as saying , ancnt the house revenue and bond bill : "Neither bill will become n law. The free silver men will try to tack free coinage amendments on both. They are In the ma jority In the senate and may succeed. The- friends of the revenue bill are going to try , however , to induce them to refrain from amending the revenue bill and be sulaflcd with amending the bond bill. As the presi dent will undoubtedly veto the revenue bill and the house would not pu'3 the frco coin age bill , there Is no hope of either becoming a law. " "Then what will happen ? " "Well , If congress won't help him , the president will be obliged to maintain the credit of the country alone. " Shortage of a ' 1'evnx Trenmirer. CHICAGO , Dec. 28.
