Secretary Carlisle Was before tbe Committee on Finance of the Senate Tuesday afternoon making plain to the members of both parties the critical state of the treasury. He is substantially in favor of the bill of Representative O’Neill, of Massachusetts, for an issue of $100,000,001 in loan certificates, payable after one year at the pleasure of the government, with interest at 3 per cent He saw the bill before it was given Its final form, and while he would not pledge himself to it as an administration measure, he intimated that It came pretty close to his ideas SMUGGLING FI.OT IN 'FRISCO. Three Men Arrested and Many Customs Officials Said to He Implicated. The recent expose of smuggling at Portland, which implicated some of the United States Treasury’s most prominent officials on the coast, bids fair to be equaled by an exposure of smuggling operations In San Francisco. Three' men were arrested Monday night One is Frederick Miller, a young law student: another is George N. J. Wichman, a wholesale candy manufacturer; and the third is Lewis GEeenwald. Warrants are out for the arrest of about a dozen others. Prominent customs officers are said to be implicated in a confession made by the prisoners. It is said that they have revealed the method* of a powerful ring ccu- . trolling three sailing vessels, and doing a wholesale business In the smuggling cf opium and Chinese contraband drugs. Chinese have also. It is said, been regularly smuggled from Puget Sound points and transferred to the States. Customs officers tried to capture ono of the smuggling schooners the other night. Thostnuggler was chased down the biy by four tugs, but she bad too long a start and escaped to sea in the darkness. Three special Treasury Agents from Washlngtou have been engaged on the case for many weeks past.

The Governor bus recognized tho nine hold-over Democrats in preference to the four bold-over and seven newly elected Republicans, and has sont his message to tho former l.ody after notifying the Republicans that ho would have to consult counsel beforo finally deciding either to recognizo or ignore them. The Democrats, who have tho keys to both legislative chambers, are confident, while the Republicans are just as determined. Tbe House refuses torocognize the message from the Democratic Senate and will hereafter not allow Itself to le disturbed by officials from that body. Tho sergeant-at-arms has been instructed to urrest tho Clorks of th 4 ' Democratic' Senate IN they persist In entering tho ussembly chamber and making announcements. Tho Republican Senate had to meet in the Assembly chamber, The Sergoaut-at-artns of the Democratic Senate had locked the chamber up and carried the keys away. SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT.

A dispatch received at Paris from Rio Janeiro says that President l’elxoto, of Brazil, has resigned. Senhor Mendonca, the Brazilian Minister at Washington, has, however, no information which would bear ontthe dispatch received In Paris. “It is possible,” said the Minister, incredulously, “as he Is free to resign if he cares to, but I do not consider it probable. My President is not of tho resigning kind.” The State and navy departments are also without Information respecting the Paris report.

ALL EUROPE CHILLED. Lowest Temperature Known In Fifty Years. » London advices say tbs severe coli continues throughout Great Britain, In many places tbe thermometer registering the lowest point known. While the lowest reported temperature is 5 to 10 above. It Involves as much suffering as would a temperature 20 degrees below zero in tbe United States. The people are entirely unprepared for such a terrible cold wave, and tbe result Is that tbe suffering among the poor Is Intense. Many cases of death from exposure are already reported and outdoor work has been entirely suspended At Dover the mercury registered 10 degrees above zero, and In South Devonshire 12 degrees above zero is reported The river Dart and the tidal streams are frozen solil. A heavy snow storm prevailed. In Lincolnshire two men were found frozen to death and many of the roads ere covered with scow drifts ten feet high. In several Darts of England railroad trains have been imbedded In tbe snow for hours, and on tbe Isle of Wight the weather Is reported to be the coldest of the century. The river Yar Is frozen from its scarce to within a few yards of the sea. The cliffs of Cornwall are hung with icicles of an Immense size, and pools of salt water have been frozen at the edge of the sea. Reports received from Spain show that tbe most Intense cold also prevails there. At Zorlta the thermometer registered 10 degrees above zero, and at Burgos several people were frozen 1o death. At Moscow 20 degrees below zero was registered, at NkLiii Novgorod the thermometer registered 'At oplow, and 23 degrees below was reported aU-Kharkoff. RARE COIN DISCOVERED. An Eighth Silver Dollar of {he 1804 Mintage Turns Up In Philadelphia. The belief that only seven of the 1804 sliver dollars were in existence has been an error, for the eighth one has turned up Rosenthal Bros, of Philadelphia, dealers in old iron, had a debtor in Virginia from whom they tried vainly for some time to collect a bill of 8500. Recently the Virginian sent the firm one of tho much sought for 1804 dollars. He stated that ho sent the coin In payment of Ills bill, and if the Rosenthal Bros, could sell it for more than the totul of the account they could keep the balance. In explanation of how ho came into possession of tho dollar tho Virginian wroie that he had bought it for S3O from an old negro, who was Ignorant of its rarity and value and In whose family it had been for a long time. The Rosenthals took the dollar to the mint and It was pronounced genuine. A coin collector has offered them 8330 for tho dollar, but they refused the offer, us at an auction sale of coins ono of tho 1804 dollars sold 'for SI,OOO.

MAY HAVE PRISONERS. Mystcrous Action of the Cutter Corwin, from Honolulu. Saturday morning's dispatches told of the arrival of tho levenuo rutler Corwin off San Francisco from Honolulu, but wliat Information her officers brought Is absolutely conjecture only. Her commander did not land at San Francisco, but steamed away to Mare Island navy yard. As soon as he could report by wire to Washington, a dispatch was recolved from that city by tho commander of (ho Mohican, which was followed by n great bustle on that vessel and preparations for instant departure. Tho Corwin’s officers wero silent as ihe grave. But it Is surmised that the gravest condition exists at Honolulu. It Is evon hinted that thoro has been collision between United States and provisional government forces, with bloodshed, and that tbe Corwin's commander lias on board prisoners. No cno was allowed to board bor, and for several hours telegrams flew thick and fast to and from Washington. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Preparations at tVashlngton for tlio Next Grand Encampmen^.

There can be no doubt as to my position, and people who come here with the expectation of seeing the laws of the State violated by two thugs and their aiders and abettors wilt be disappointed.,-^ H. L. Mitchell, Governor.

In an Electric Glare. More startling than any of the almost numberless sensations which have characterized the trial of the alleged living murderer of I)r. Patrick Henry Cronin were the developments of Friday. The climax will bo reached when the prosecution will have on the stand a witness who will swear to facts that will have more effect upon the jury’s decision, probably, than any testimony that has been taken yet. The new witness is a stationary engineer well known In the West. His name Is Frank A Bardeen, of Otsego.--Mlch. He will tell the jury that la the early morning of May 5, 1880, he turned a searchlight upon an„ upproachlng wagon in the vicinity of the Edgewater electric-light plant. The rays from the brilliant reflector disclosed Daniel Coughlin walking beside the wagon that contained the trunk which atthatilme held the mutilated remains of the murdered Doctor. This Is the first direct testimony that affects Coughlin as being In the actual company of the corpse

Hanged for Wife Murder. At Kansas City, Ma, the execution of Martin Reed occurred at 9:26 Friday morning. On Bept. 16, 1890, Reed, a negro aged 65, returned home from his work, and In a fit of Insane jealousy fired three shots at his wife, resulting in her death soon afterward. He is the first colored man ever legally executed in Jackson County, Missouri To Succeed General Lilly. The Pennsylvania Republican State Convention, called for the purpose of naming a candidate for Congressman-at-large to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Gen. William Lilly, nominated Galusha A. Grow by acclamation. Founds a Persian Bank. Dr. Witte, Minister of Finance, proposes to improve Russian trade with China and Persia by founding a bank at Teherku, capital of Persia.

X.-, Theater, a structure five stories high and covering an area of half a block, ,was completely destroyed by fire at noon Saturday. Save three walle and a mass of debris, nothing remains

of the structure. The firemen could do little but devote their efforts to earing surrounding property and were successful in confining tbe flames to the theater building. The fire was discovered in one of the dreealng-rooms off the stage at noon and • quarter of an hour afterward the building was a roaring furnace, tbe roof had ceved in and the back wall fell out Into the street. No one was injured. The total loss in this building is estimated at about $135,000, and the insurance at SBG.OOO.

THE INCOME TAX. Tills Feature of the Wilson Bill Has Been Worked Over in Committee. Washington special: Congreismen McMillan and Bryan have practically completed the draft of the Income tax features of the tariff ‘hill, which they were authorized to prepare The bilL as prepared, does not place a tax of 2 per cent, on incomes of $4,000 and upwards, as it was generally supposed It would do, but simply levies a tax of 2 ler cent, on all incomes which exceed the sum of 84,000. Thus a rnau with an income of 84,000 would not pay any tax, while the man with an income of $4,500 would pay 2 per cent, on the 8500. In other words the 2 per cent is to he levied on the excess above 84,000. Another important feature of the bill is that it does not require those whose incomes are less than $4,000 to make any returns ot statements regarding it to the officers of the Government, Blanks are to be sent to those supposed to have Incomes above $4,000. and in case of failure to report the officers may require those whom they believe to be liable to a tax to make a report under oath and may assess a penalty against those refusing to do sa Mr. McMillan and Mr. Bryan bold that under this plan many of ihe annoying and Inquisitorial features of the old law will be avoided.

Robert, Calaway went to Rogers and tried to get him to leave, and then the meeting broke up In a row, tbe women and children crying and pandemonium prevailing. Rogers broke through tho crowd to get at Chambers, who went on tho other side of tho house to avoid him, but stopped at the stove and picked up tbe poker. When Rogers refused to let him alone lie struck him and floored him and pounded him so bad that ho .cannot live Chambers took his daughter , and started home, when Chax eus and a crown of boys pushod him and followed him home, and during the night mobbed the boose, but he drove them away with a guo.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

CALIFORNIA'S EXPOSITION IS NOW ON VIEW. Indications Are That the Show Will Be a Financial and Artistic Snceess—Brtff Description of the Buildings— Patterned After ir.e “White City.” Midwinter Fair Begins. The California Midxvinter Fair is now open to the public. Here, in this Western metropolis, writes a correspondent, at the extreme edge of the Western hemisphere, with the placid waters of the great Pacific in view, the hand of man has created a city neither so beautiful, so wonderful, nor 60 extensive a 3 the now quickly fading White City by Lake Michigan, but one that is truly grand and of which the people of California and the other Pacific States may justly be proud. It wus only in the latter part of last May, when the end of the Chicago Fair was in view, that some Californians in Chicago conceived the idea of having a fair in San Francisco. Shortly afterward it was decided to go ahead in the matter and Golden Gate Park was selected as the location for the fair, conceded by all to be one of the prettiest spots on the face of the globe. Aug. 24, in the presence of 80,000 people, the enterprise was inaugurated by turning the first shovelful of dirt, immediately after which the work of grading commenced, followed in a few weeks by the inauguration of work on the main structures. Patterns Afnr Chicago. The Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building is the la gest on the grounds. This building is Moorish in design, with all the picturesque effects to which that style of architecture readily lends itself. The Mechanical Arts Building is the second largest structure, and is nearly puro Indian in design and highly artistic in its rich, Oriental sty’e. By far tho most striking architectural feature of the exposition is the Horticultural and Agricultural Building. It is in Spanish mission style and is a low-roof design, so much in favor on the coast. This

structure contains the greatest display of the products of the soil of California over put together, and that is synonymous with saying that is such'a display of agricultural and horticultural material as the United States have never seen placed on exhibition. It is typical and almost exclusively Californian and will afford visitors an opportunity of judging of the vastness and variety of California's resources, such as no amount of travel and observation could give. The Fine Arts Building is intended for a permanent structure, constructed of brick and iron. The Administration Building, like its namesake at the Columbian Exposition, which faced the grand basin, is directly in the i ear of the allegorical fountain. In this tho

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

sculptor has tried to tell the whole history of the state and much can be plainly read from its design. The familiar statue of California, crowned with a.wreath of poppies, stands on a pedestal whose rugged character suggests the mountain regions. The principal central figure is the eagle, emblematic of the state’s loyalty to the nation. The central figure of the grand court is the electrical tower. On the ground floor is a pavilion for the use of the public and flanking the open space there are four Moorish pavilions, containing four stories and decorated in Oriental colors. The base of the tower occupies a space of fifty feet square, while the first gallery, eighty feet from the ground, has "a seating capacity of 200. There are three other galleries of large seating capacity, the topmost one being within six feet of the pinnacle. The concessional features of the Midwinter Exposition are both numerous and interesting. There is a modest counterpart of the great Ferris wheel of the World’s Fair in the Firth wheel,

FINE ARTS BUILDING.

which is 125 feet in height. There are Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian. Esquimaux, Canadian and German villages, an ostrich farm, a Colorado gold mine, a scenic railway, a Santa Barbara aquarium containing a dozen sea lions, a reproduction of Cairo street, a Turkish theater, a Moorish 4 mirror maze, a reproduction of the celebrated Prater of Vienna, a tc malehouse, a reproduction of Anne Hathaway’s cottage, and last, but by no means least, a ’49 mining camp. This camp occupies a space 450 ( feet long and 250 feet wide. In the jeenter of the camp is a street 450 feet long, lined on eaeh side with old-time shanties which do service as newspaper

office*, saloons, hotels, theaters, and gambling bouses, as In the days of yore, representing a typical mining town. Mackay's, Perkins’, and Jones' cabins are set up just as they were when the millionaire miners deserted them. The camp promises to be one of the most interesting spot? on the Exposition grounds, as it is the intention to faithfully represent the days of ’49 by mock duels, trials, lynchings, and other episodes of those stirring times.

VOTE TO TAX INCOMES.

The Democratic Majority Decide* to Levy a Tax of S Per Cent. The advocates of the individual Income tax proposition were triumphant at a recent meeting of the Democratic Ways and Means Committee, says a Washington dispatch. The eleven membeiswere present when the final meeting was held at the Treasury Department. Comparatively little time was wasted in discussion. The ground

had all been argued and fought over time and time again', and at this meeting the issue was joined on two propositions, one to levy a tax of 2 per cent, against individual incomes over $4,000 and against the incomes from corporations (that is, the difference between the gross income and the operating expenses, or, in other words, the net income); and, second, a proposition offered as a substitute by Mr. Cockran (N. Y.) to tax the incomes Irom corporations 1 per cent, and inheritance s 5 per cent., to place a tax of 10 cents on whisky and to lestore sugar to the dutiable list at l a cent a pound. The vote on Mr. Cockran's substitute proposition, which was taken first, resulted in its defeat—7 to 4—as follows: Yeas—Wilson, Cockran, Stevens and Montgomery. Nays—McMillin, Turner, Whiting, Bryan, Bynum, Tarsney and Breckinridge. The original proposition was then

submitted and carried by a veto of 6 to 5, as follows: Yeas—McMillin, Turner. Whiting, Bryan, Bynum ami Tar ney. Nays—Wilson, Cockran, Stevens, Montgomery and Breckinridge. It was also decided, in connection with the latter proposition, to increase the whisky tax 10 cents a gallon—that is. from 90 cenls to sl—to be levied against whisky in as well as out of band. Upon the representation that this increase would work undue hardship to the owners of whisky in bond it was decided to extend the hooded period from three to eight years. The tax on playing cards, at one time fixed at <S cents a pack, was reduced to 2 cents, and the contemplated tax on perfumes and cosmetics was discarded. No increase was made in the tax on cigars, but the increase on cigarettes—sl per I,ooo—was allowed to stand. The committee estimates that the tax on the incomes from corporations and individuals (corporations being treated as individuals) will raise $30.000.000 revenue—sl2,ooo,ooo from corporations and $18,000,000 from individuals. The increase in the whisky tax, it is estimated, will give an additional revenue of $10,000,000 per anuum. The propssed tax on inheritances, which was to be levied in case the proposition for an individual income tax failed, was not deemed necessary.

Two Hundred’Men and Hoys Fight Out a Bitter, Long-standing Feud. The other night 200 men and boys engaged in a pitched battle at Dayton, a small town southwest of Webster City, lowa. For some time past a feud has existed between the two towns of Dayton and Frazier, and a large party of miners from the letter town visited Dayton for the purpose of demolishing it. During the battle City Marshal Larson was shot through the stomach, the bullet passing thio.igh his body. John Gustafson was literally cut to pieces, and among a half dozen others injured more or less was Frank Doud, United Stater Marshal under President Harrison for Dakota. The miners, the dispatch says, went to a dance at Dayton, where' a New Year's dance was in progress. Entering, they scared the ladies present, and it was but a moment until they had cleared the room. Shortly after this they went to a re-taurant owned by a.man named Tucker. The men who were at the dance had armed themselves, and the City Marshal was at the restaurant trying to quiet the miners and induce them to leave town. Some one fired a shot, and it entered the City Marshal s body. The ri.)t was on then in earnest, knives, -pistols, and clubs were used. An armed patrol of about twenty men was stationed at different parts of the city by the Mayor, and late the followingafternoon. they, in company with the Sheriff from Fort Dodge and a posse from the same place, arrested eight of the ringleaders.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WILSON TARIFF BILL AND THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE. Chief Topics at the National CapitalFree Silver People Against Bonds-lt Is Believed the Wilson BUI Will Become a Law. Bones of Contention. Washington correspondence:

THE twochief topics of discussion at the capital are the Wilson tariff bill

and the' proposed bond issue. The free silver people ■are decidedly against any issue of bonds, taking the position that all I that is needed is a plentiful coinage of whe white metal and its use as ■ money. The Texas will be (solidly against any issue of bonds. Representative Mc-

Millin, of Tennessee, believes a measure should at once be passed providing for the use of the seigniorage of the silver bullion. This would afford temporary relief, he thinks, and possibly obviate the necessity of issuing bands. It has been asserted that until the silver bullion now in the treasury is coined there can be no seigniorage, but the men who favor its use argue that when it is known the bullion will coin fifty million dollars more than was paid for it there can be no reason for hesitating about it.

Representative Cousins of lowa, on the other hand, viewing the situation from a Republican standpoint, says that if all the Democratic members of the House that he has heard express themselves against the bill actually vote as they talk now, the bill will eetainly be beaten in the House, to say nothing of the Senate, where its chances are at least doubtful. However, he says, i is pretty hard to get a Democrat to kick out "of the party traces, so you cannot just figuie on lesults when Democratic bolting becomes an essential element in the calculation.

BOOMING THE SOUTH.

Capital Turning the Tide of Immigration In That Direction. The immigration sentiment in the South is taking on practical forms. Within two months, writes a Washington correspondent, three colonies have been brought from the West and settled in Maryland, near Chesapeake Bay. A few days ago a number of colonists bound together by the same creed arrived from Europe, and went down to North, Carolina to occupy a tract of land bought by them. These are signs of a general movement. The Southern Governors met at Richmond last April and adopted an address of welcome to intending settlers. They assured freedom of opinion and protection of rights under the law to all honest, well-mean-ing people. Several States have followed up this formal expression by organizing immigration bureaus and preparing facts about their lands, and the prices of them for inquirers. In a notable wav this has been done by Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,Georgia, Texas and Arkansas. And now capital has taken the Southerners at their word and is going about the work of placing immigrants in these Southern States after the same plans and methods which settled the great Northwest so rapidly.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

R. G. Duo & Co.'s Review Shows No Changes. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: I The cloud of uncertainty does not lift as yet. Strong confidence is expressed in 'nearly all markets that trade must imjprove with the new year, but it is yet too ’early to expect important change, If really on the way. In the main the conditions [continue unchanged. But the proposal of an incothe tax Is not calculated to inspire nor does it encourage hope that uncertainty about revenue laws will be speedily terminated. The condition of the Treasury excites less interest with the gold reserve lower than eyer and the entire available reserve -reduced to $90,000,000 than smaller losses caused when the freehold exceeded SIOO.*IOO,OOO. Yet the deficit of $07,664,329 In ’the first half of tfie current year, the decrease of $30.744,958 in customs receipts for six months, and $10,654,191 in the internal revenue point to a large deficit for the year and a greater reduction of Treasury balances than can be safely permitted. At the point of danger is the large volume of paper circulation, with a narrow gold reserve* the proposal to Issue fifty millions more paper by means of coining silver bullion held Is not reassuring. and the Chamber of Commerce has earnestly urged an issue of short-time bonds, as recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury. Money from the interior still floods this market, commercial Inactivity still causes the amount of idle funds to swell beyond all precedent, and rates are so low that speculation might be dangerously stimulated If a feeling of hopefulness prevailed- Thus it may be fortunate that diminished earnings repress ardor In stock r eculation, and heavy supplies in sight defer speculation in products. The disbursement of $95,000,000 at New York, f 27.000.000 in Boston and Pittsburg for January interest and dividends, has produced nothing like the usual demand for securities, though after several days of excessive selling the stock market rose an average of a dollar a share. Cut rates increase railway tonnage without yielding better returns in money, and the dividends paid reflect past rather than present conditions.
