the present administration the

National treasury has a "periodical," now and then, but it cannot be said to remain "full" for aDy length of time.

THE U. S. Senate is no longer Demo era tic when Lee Mantle, Republican of Montana was sw rn in as Senator Saturday, it gave the Republicans and Popuists combined, exactly the same number of votes as the Democrats. After March 4th, when all the new Senators take their seats, the Democrats will be badly in the minority.

IT IS indeed a pitiable spectacle to have the representative of the U. S. treasury go down to New York and call in the representatives of a lot of Lombard St. English Jews and ask them to loan money to pay the ordinary running expenses of the government. The Democratic leaders like to stand in with the English, but that is too much of the good thing and is indeed disgusting to all true Americans.

THIS Republican legislature should remember that Indiana legislative precedent is not a good criterion to go by. The legislatures heretofore have been Democratic and their tendency to employ a large number of useless employees at high wages. The idea of not being able to get competent men to watch around a door in a good warm place for less than $5 a day is ridiculous, $3 would be an abundance.

GENERAL Mahlon D. Manson, once Lieutenant Government of Indiana, of Crawfordsville, a veteran of both the late war and of the Mexican war was stricken with paralysis, while on a train near Frankfort yesterday. He was removed to a hotel, but died in a short time. He was a plain spoken, honest man who had a host of friends among the Indiana soldiers. While he was a Democrat, he condemned whatever he thought to be wrong in that party and was especially vigorous in denouncing Cleveland's pension policy.

JUSTICE is a swift and sure thing in Terre Haute, as is demonstrated by a court proceeding to-day. A chicken thief was captured at 7:30, indicted by the grand jury two hours later, tried at 10 o'clock and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year at 10:30.—[Terre Haute Tribune.

But supposing the offender had violated the liquor law instead of stealing a twenty-five cent chicken to satisfy hunger, his case would doubtless have gone from one court to another on a "technicality," until Justice, who is proverbially blind, should also have grown old rfnd gray with the weary waiting for a chance to punish the criminal.

WE have not heard of any law yet to prevent members of the Indiana House and Senate from receiving railroad passe?. That is just abeut as much bribery as taking money. The Legislature in voting themselves 10 cents a mile mileage each way took at least four times as much as their fare will cost, but then that is an old and time honored steal, not only in all Legislatures, but in Congress. The way to reform is to reform and quit your meanness. Let Republican newspapers over the State speak right out and demand that this Republican Legislature do what the platform promised they would do.

CURRENCY QOESTIOH.

Has It Been Settled by the Treasury Officials?

IT NOW LOOKS THAT WAY.

A Spirit of Serenity Pervades the Treasury Department—A New Bond Issue Has Probably Been Ordered—It Is Thought

That They Will All Be Taken by For

eigners.

WASHINGTON', Feb. 5.—So far as can be learned there has been no change in the bond situation. But a spirit of serenity pervaded the treasury department yesterday that was quite in contrast with the anxious looks and hurried movements of the officials last week. Secretary Carlisle was in his office and saw all comers, which he has been unable to do for some time past. In answer to till inquiries, Mr. Carlisle stated that he had nothing to say on the financial situation.

Assistant Secretary Curtis, who has returned from New York, was also in his office and accessible to all callers. He, however, would not say whether or not his mission in New York had been successful.

All of the other officials are extremely reticent on the subject and decline to either affirm or deny any of the rumors brought to their attention. One rumor which had an apparently good basis was that the bonds for the new issue were already being printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, but, like the others, it could not be confirmed.

The concensus of opinion is that the amendment of a bond issue to foreign purchasers, directly or indirectly, will be made very soon, and that all arrangements to this end are substantially complete.

The amount of bonds which the administration contemplates issuing, and may give notice of at any time now, is $100,000,000 of 4 per cents, to run 30 years. Arrangements, it is believed, have been practically concluded, assuring the government that these bonds will be paid for with foreign gold.

Treasury officials generally express the opinion that Secretary Carlisle's estimate of a surplus of $22,500,000 for the calendar year 1895 is conservative. It is urged that the customs duty on sugar alone should bring in at least $35,000,000 during the next 11 months and that the revenue from the income tax is likely to reach $40,000,000. The receipts from general customs and from wrhisky withdrawals rre expected to materially increase from now on, which it is believed will bring the receipts for the 12 months up to about $380,500,000. The disbursements for the year, it is thought, •will not exceed $351,000,000, leaving a surplus, after deducting the $7,000,000 deficit of January, of $22,500,000.

The internal revenue officials, in figuring on the receipts from income taxation, estimate that the returns prior to July 1 will amount to $10,000,000, and for the remaining six months $30,000,000.

HALF WILL REMAIN HERE.

The New York Press Discusses the New Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—On reliable authority The Press is able to announce that the new bond issue will be taken by a syndicate composed of American and foreign bankers. The issue will be at least $100,000,000 of the United States government fours and may be more. The delay is understood to be due to the exact figures at which they will be sold.

The men who will underwrite the new issue according to the best information of Wall street, are the Rothschilds, represented here by August Belmont, J. Flerpont Morgan and several prominent local financiers who are the head of big moneyed institutions in the city.

Several important factors have contributed to bring the local-financiers into the deal. In the first place neither the Morgans nor the Belmonts have much gold here, hence would have to draw on the banks so that the latter would have figured in the transaction some way. In the next place, the Rothsohilds, so it is stated, are just as anxious to have the local moneyed men in the deal as the latter are anxious to be in it themselves.

Assistant Jordan, in discussing the situation, had this to say: "I do not expect that Mr. Curtis will find it necessary to come to New York again. Judging from the inquiries we have received, I think that there will be plenty of demand for the bonds when once they are ready to be issued. The general conviction is that the loan hill will be announced in a very short time."

The Press also learns from trustworthy sources that there will be an opportunity given to the public to make a bid on the new bonds. Inside advices are that the local financiers will take about $50,000,000 of the new loan, and the remainder will go to foreign houses.

REED HAS A SCHEME.

He Will Offer a Substitute to the Administration Plan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Calculations of the supporters and opponents of the new administration financial bill were upset yesterday by the interjection of a new factor into the campaign. Mr. Heed of Maine, the Republican leader, brought forward anew plan for which he is endeavoring to enlist the entire strength of his party, and which he will offer as a substitute for the administration scheme^ if he thinks his plan can command sufficient support to make it a factor in the light.

There are but two sections to the Reed plan in the form in which he has submitted it to his colleagues. The first proposes to restrict the law of 1875, which authorizes the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds to redeem the greenbacks to 3 per cent bonds. The secord section, authorizes the secretary of the treasury, when there is a deficit to issue certificates of indebtedness to

ay current expenses, the certificates to in sums of $35, and $50 and $100, and any multiples thereof, bearing interest at 3 per cent and payable in coin.

The bill, as Mr. Reed explained to the Republicans whose support he sought, is but a temporary expedient to tide over the present distress. The substitution of "coin" for the gold provisions of the administration plan is expected to win for it toleration, if not support of the free silver men, who bitterly oppose all propositions to discriminate by stipulation in any bill in favor of gold. Its comparative simplicity, it is expected,

will commend the bill to the house in preference to more complex plans. Mr. Reed devoted himself assidiously throughout the day to cloakroom consultations with the Republicans. He first endeavored to elicit the opinions of the gold men and then talked to the silver men. The measure of his success is difficult to estimate.

The plan is to offer the bill as a substitute for the administration bill and by polling the solid Republican vote while the Democrats are divided on the administration bill, make it the most formidable proposition in the field, and perhaps induce the Democratic opponents of the administration bill to rally to its support.

Chairman Springer and his colleagues have counted on most of the Republican votes for the administration bill and have prophesied that it would poll about the same support that was given to the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Accordingly Mr. Reed's move overtu lis tlieir calculations to a great extent.

SILVER MEN IN CONFERENCE.

They Are Hopeful of Passing a Free Coinage Measure. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Interest in the financial question about the senate yesterday centered in the activity of the silver senators and the frequent consultation held by them. This, taken in connection with tlie call issued by Senator Voorliees, chairman of the finance committee, for a meeting of the committees led to the general supposition that an attempt would be made by the silver advocates on the committee to secure the reporting of a free silver bill.

Inquiry among the members of the committee failed to develop absolute assurance that the effort would be made, but enough was said in many quarters to indicate that the general supposition was not without good foundation, and to justify the statement that the silver men are very hopeful of bringing a free coinage bill out of the committee, if not at this meeting, at the next one to be held. They believe that Senator Jones of Nevada will unite with Senators Yoorhees, Harris, Vest, Jones of Arkansas and White, in support of some measure that will be satisfactory to the silver men.

Condition of the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Yesterday's statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash balance, $144,412,174 gold reserve, $42,648,730.

BANK BURGLARIZED.

Safe Blown and Probably $25,000 Secured by the Thieves.

NORWALK, O., Feb. 5.—The Milan bank was entered by five burglars at 3:30 yesterday morning. The safe and vaults were blown open by dynamite, making a complete wreck of them and the office. The burglars took some $15,000 in cash and $10,000 in government, Nickel Plate and Sandusky, Milan and Norwalk electric railway bonds.

Cashier Stoddard heard the explosion, and, rushing out with a gun, he was confronted by three of the burglars, who told him to stand off, and fired at him. Stoddard returned the fire. The burglars had a livery rig near by. They jumped in and drove to Sandusky, where they took the 5:30 train for Cleveland. Parties in pursuit reached the livery stable in Santlusky a few minutes after the burglars had been there. Some of the parties can be described. Cashier Stoddard will not tell the exact amount taken. It was known there was considerable on deposit.

The police at Sandusky have arrested at their homes in that city Gib Stougliton, a saloonkeeper, and Solly Hirschberg, the latter of no particular occupation. Stoughton and Hirschberg hired a rig from Hock & Hurd's livery stables there, late Sunday night, saying they were going to Fremont. This rig was partially identified as the one in which the five bank robbers drove out of Milan after committing the robbery, and the fact that it was returned by Stoughton and Hirshcberg yesterday morning caused suspicion to be attache.! to them. None of the plunder was found on the prisoners. Nothing further has been heard as to the where abouts of the other three cracksmen.."

HURLED INTO A RIVER.

Three laves Lost by an Electric Car Accident atf Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.—A trolley car loaded with passengers ran into an open draw on the Russell avenue line of the Milwaukee Street Railway company yesterday at the Kinnickinnick bridge. The passengers were all dumped into the icy water.

Thousands of people were on the spot at once, and the people in the water were fished out as fast as they appeared on the surface. Three persons were drowned. They were: Miss Ehlman, a typewriter Miss Smickins, employed in the National knitting works, and John Kennedy, motorman.

Several of the 11 passengers were slightly injured. All have been accounted for.

The motorman, Kennedy, did not try to stop his car until within five feet of the draw. He then set the brake, but the car slid into the river. It plunged headforemost on the ice and stuck there, half in and half out of the water.

Kennedy, the dead motorman, was a prominent member of the local streetcar union, and leave,s a widow and family-

REBELLIOUS KAFFIRS.

They and

Enter a Portuguese Camp Bloody Battle Follows.

LONDON, Feb. 5.—A dispatch to The Times from Capetown says that advices received from Lourenzo Marquez are to the effect that the rebellious Kaffirs entered the Portuguese camp at Maraqueen by the treacherous use of a flag of truce and the pass word which they had by some means obtained.

Once in the camp the Kaffirs fiercely attacked the sleeping Portuguese, who were unable to get at their big guns. Lieutenant Antonio rallied his men and kept fighting after his body had been pierced by an assagai.

Independent reports have it that from 50 to 70 of the Portuguese were killed and many wounded.

British and German men-of-war are in readiness to protect the subjects of their respective countries should such protection become necessary.

Been Identified.

OfctfGRy, O., Feb. 5.—The man found ctaad by the track Jan. 20 has been identified as John Rawley, who formerly worked at the Cold Spring stone quarties.
