It is bv no certain that bonds of this dese'ripan much longer be disposeed of at a creditable to tho financial character government. le most dangerous and irritating feattho situation, however, remains to mentioned. It is found in the means •filch the Treasury is despoiled of the thus obtained without cancelling a le government obligation, and solely benefit of those who find profit in iiig it abroad, or whose fears induce to hoard it at home. Wo have outing about ?500,000,000 of currency if the government for which gold IV-demanded, aud, curiously enough. requires that when presented, and ,ct redeemed and paid in gold, they be reissued. These same notes may iity many times in drawing gold frorii Treasury—nor can the process lie arid its long as private, parties, who, for "r otherwise, see an advantage in ing the operation.

riach the IVeasury, except- for redemption and retirement, they should be cancelled and notes of the denomination of $10 and upward should bo replaced by certificates of denominations under $10.

I believo all the provisions I have suggested should be embodied in our laws, if we are to enjov a complete reinstatement of a sound financial condition. They need not interfere with any currency scheino provided for the increase of the circulating medium, through the agency of national or State banlis, since they cfin easily bo adjusted to such a scheiin-. Objection has been made to the issuance ol interest-bearing obligations for the purpose of retiring the non-interest-bearini! legal tender notes, in point of fact, however, these notes have burdened us with a birge load of interest, and it is still accumulating. The aggregate interest on the original Issue of bonds, the proceeds of which, in gold, constituted the reserve for the payment of theso notes amounted to $70.32i,2M) on Jan. 1. 18'.tr, and the annual charge for interest on these bonds, and those issued for the same purpose during the last year, will lo $9,715,000, dating from Jan. 1, 1S05.

In conclusion. I desire to 'rankly confess my reluctance to issuing mi,-e bonds in present circumstances and with no bettei results than have lately followed that course. I cannot, however, refrain from adding to an assurance of my anxiety to co-opcrato with the present Congress in any reasonable measure of relief, an expression of my determination to leave nothing undono which furnishes a hope for improving the situation or checking a suspicion of our disinclination or disability to meet, with tho strictest honor, every National obligation.

FAMOUS R0GUK ELEi'lIAJiTS.

Onn of Them "Was Killed From a Cage on a Wiigon.

St. Nicholas for JanuaryThe complete history of ro^uc elephants would make an interesting chapter. They seem to have decided to avenge man's wrongs against their kind. Some years ago ont rogue actually took possession of a stretch of country in India forty miles wide by one hundred long, r»nd in a business-like way proceeded tc demolish everything in or about it. The animal rushed into the village, took huts upon its tusks and tore them apart, or tossed thein until they fell into splinters. It chased the people away, or killed them whenever it could, or, standing by the wrecked houses, it ate. the grains and stores.

This elephant seemed remarkably intelligent. Jt entertained, in particular. a grudge against the watchtowers or scaffolds. "Whenever this rogue saw one, he would creep slyly, spring at it, push it to the ground, and kill its occupants.

A famous rogue elephant, named ''Mandla'' was owned by a rich man near Jubbulpore in central India. Suddenly it began to develope the characteristics of a "rogue." and attacked human beings wherever seen. It killed them so cruelly that it became widely known as "the maneater."' He was finally destroyed by an organized effort, of English army oHicers.

Another famous rogue took possession of a public road and attacked every passer-by. Suddenly darting from tlie jungle, it would rush up to I an ox-cart, seize the driver with it* tusk and disappear. Repeated raidof this kind so terrified the people that a large tract of land was, to all intents and purposes, deserted but finally an English hunter determined to rid the country of the rogue. By careful inquiry he found that the elephant always seized the driver, and if there were two carts in company, it chose the driver of the last. So he arranged two oxcarts, putting a dummy driver upon the second, while upon the first was a stout bamboo cage in which the hunter was to sit rifie in hand.

When all was ready the two oxcarts started, one day, followed by the hopes and best wishes of the community. The fatal district was soon reached, and, about half way down the road, there came a crash! and the monstrous elephant, dark and ugly, dashed upon the party. Making directly for the last, cart, with a vicious swiny of its trunk, it seized on the dummy and made off, receiving as it went a shot from the cage. But the oxen, alarmed by the uproar, ran away, leaving the road and taking to the open country. They tipped the cart, over, nearly killing the cage driver and the English sportsman. What the elephant thought when it tore the dummy into shreds must be imagined. Some months later, however, this rogue was driven away and caught.

Lord Randolph Churchill, tho distinguished English statesman, died at Lonlon, Jan. 24, from paralysis, aged nearly "orty-six years. Lord Randolph llenrv 5penc.er-Chnrchill was the second son of )ho seventh Duke of Marlborough, lie vas born Fob. 9, 1S49, and was educated at Herton College, Oxford. His political career has been remarkable for so young a nan, and he was considered as tho fit successor of Lord Beaconslield. Lord Ranlolph married, In 1874, Miss Jennie Jerome

laughter of tho lato Leonard Jerome, of N'ew York. IIo has since become a prominent member of tho Primrose Club. Lord md Lady Churchill visited this country lor the first time in many years, last sumner, and then continued westward on a tour of tbo world, from which they rehirned, landing at Marseilles, only a few weeks ago.

Tho Senato, Jan. 24. convened without a quorum, and a roll call was uece.ssary before business could bo proceeded with. Unimportant bills were considered ami disposed of. Mr. Allen then presented thf Hawaiian resolution as follows: "Resolved, That it is the sense of th Senate that thn revolutionary government having become the. established government of the Hawaiian Islands, that a wist and enlightened foreign policy requires that steps should be taken bv thi? Government without unneeessarv (ielav to annex those islands to tho 1,'n'it.od States a part thereof, and that in the nieanlitiu the personal and property ricbts of American citizens in said islands should be protected by the presence of a sufficient nuva force in Hawaiian waters."

Tho resolution went over. The Hawaiian resolution of Mr, Lodge was then taken up, and Mr. George made a carefu, legal argument to show that there was nt popular suffrage Mid no real republican form of government in Hawaii. Mr George presented a table showing the number of days United States war "hip had not been at Honolulu during the last 'twenty years. It showed that Unitet! States war ships had been kept in Hawaiian waters verv little of the time tring the last twenty years. In 1874 our ship! were away from tho islands forty-one days At the conclusion of Mr. George's speech consideration of the Nicaragua canal bill was resumed, and Mr. White spoke In advocacy of the project. The bill for tin transfer of a portion of tho exhibit of till Department of State at tho World's Columbian Exposition to the Columhiae Museum of Chicago was also assed. Thi exhibit transferred covers the La Rabid3 convent and tho collection relating to ii After short oxecutivo session the Senate, at 5 o'clock, adjourned.

The House, Jan. l'4, devotod all Its tim? to a consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. An amendment was agreed to on motion of Mr. Sayers providing for the expenditure of notexceedinf ?150,(X)0 of tho appropriation of J75S.333 foi the improvement from tho mouth of th Ohio river to the mouth of tho Missour river, for using movable lettles and stoei caissons in removing bars and improving the low-water channel of the Mississipp" river.

In the Senate, Jan. 2fl,'Mr. Mills mad* a caustic speech upholding the course o' the administration policy iu Hawaii anc scur.ng the sugar trusts 'The Senator denounced the present Hawaiian government as "an oligarchy masquerading as Republic. It was a p'artof thegrcatsugai oligarchy. This was the oligarchy appealing to the United States forsymp&thy ami support." Mr. Mills asked why a Republican administration had set op a barbarous king on the throne of Samoa. "Win designated this king?" said Mr. Mills "Wliv, Emperor William of Germanv. Queen Victoria of England and ]5urijam Harrison of the Unit&l States." TheNicaraguan bill was then taken up. Mr White, Democrat from California, presented a letter from London, stating that if the I nitud States did not proceed wltk the canal project British capital woulo step in and carry out the plan. Bri.-t speeches were mado under the five-minute rule. A number of amendments were offered and adopted, the most, important he* ing that of Mr. Wolcott, providing that every dollar of stock shall represent a dollar actually expended. Tho bill was ther. put to a final vote, with the amendments, and passed —yeas. 31: nays, 21.

In the Senate, Saturday, Jan. 2ii, tho Hawaiian question again came to the front.. Senator Vest oll'ered the following resolution: "Resolved, That while the people of tin United States earnestly sympathize wiifi tlie effort to establish "republican institutions wherever that effort is made, thej reaffirm the policy of non-interference, unless by agreement, with the affairs ol other nations, and recognize to tho fullest extent the right,of every people to adopt and maintain their own form of government,, unaided and uninfluenced by foreign dictation. "That tho administration of President Cleveland in maintaining this policy as tc our foreign relations deserves the approval and support of the American people."

After a protracted debate the resolution passed—24 to 22. In the House, Jan. 2f, tho proposed re.peal of the one-tenth differential tax or. sugar brought about an exciting dnbatt betweon Mr. Wilson, of West Virgin'a and several Republicans. Mr. Wilson made the statement that tho Government did not need additional revenues. "1 would like to dispel from the uiinds of thf American people," said he. "the common and prevalent Idea that the treasury is in distress from lack of revenues. Thi! statement was received with jeers on tin Repnbllcan side of tbo House, but Mr. Wilson waved it off depreciatingly, declaring that, JO far as the revenues were concerned, the Treasury was flush and in no danger of default,. He again expressed the opinion, in which he said he had never wavered, that the tariff bill, as it originally passed the House, with tho income tax provision and with no duty on sugar, would, under normal conditions, have supplied sufficient revenue. Instead ol bankruptcy staring us in the face." said he, amid a howl of Republican derision, "we are moving steadily and persistenly toward a surplus." Mr. Dingly (Rep), of Maine, and Mr. Hopkins (Kepi, of Illinois, closed with Mr. Wilson at this point, challenging his figures Mr. Payne (Rrp., of New York, argued that the sucar differentia! did not contravene the favored nation clause of our treaty with Germany. Only two persons, be said, contended that it did—Secretary Gresham and the German Embassador. The President in his message last December. had not taken this view of the. case. But if there was to be commercial war between this countrv and Germany, the United Slates could stand it. Mr Warner (l)em.i of New York, closed the. debate for the day. In the course of his remarks he read a statement from a sugat journal that although the bill might pas tho House, it would meet death in tin Senate. Tho House, at 5:10 p.m., ad journed.
