fifteen long years that any one has denied that power. It never has been disputed hefore. It is almost unpatriotic to question this power at a time when the revenues of the government are insufficient to meet the expenditures. It Is a question that should te above partisan discussion. I feel like standing up for the honor of the country and for the power of the Secretary of the Treasury. The power to issue bonds In Just such a contingency as has now arisen wan given nv law in the strongest, clearest and most direct language that could be used. That law and that power had stood unchallenged and uncontradicted from that day until u few days since, when resolutions were Introduced In this body den Lng the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury at a urr.e when bids were about to be Lcsued." Senator Sherman then proceeded to read in detail the provisions of the law on the. subject In dispute, and argued that the legitimate construction was favorable and even mandatory of the power no-v about to be exercised by the Secretary of the Treasury. At the conclusion of Senator Sherman's remarks Mr. Quay introduced an amendment to the resolution, the purport of which was a declaration thie the Secretary of the Treasury had no power, "except to provide for the redemption of the legaltender notes of the United States presented at the sub treasury in the city of New York." Senator Dubois, as a substitute for the pending resolutions, presented the following: Resolved, That It Is the sense of the Senate of the United States that the .Secretary of the Treasury has no authority, under existing law. to issue and sell the txnds of the United States, except such as conferred upon him by the act approved Jan. 14, 187.1, entitled 'An act to provide for the redemption of specie payments.' ami that the money derived from the sale of bonds under that act cannot be lawfully used for any other purpose except for that provided therein' Tills resolution seemed to meet with favor. "I approve of that resolution," said Senator Sherman. "The question of maintaining' the credit of the government," said Senator Teller, "la not one that ought to be interfered with by partisan feeling. I am as anxious to maintain the character of the government with reference to its financial affairs under this administration as I should be If it was under a Republican administration. If the reports In the morning papers are true Secretary Carlisle said in New York that If the bids amounted to r73.OOiJ.00O he would accept the whole $75,0X.0OO and issue bonds to that amount. He said that he would first strengthen the reserve, and that he would use the remainder of it for the current expenses. If the bonds are issued we will be obliged, morally and legally, to- pay for and redeem those bonds, regardless of the use that was made of the money. I cay that if we have reached tie point where the Issue of bonds is necessary for current expenses, then it-is necessary for Congress to provide means and legislation for the Issue of such bonds." Continuing, Benator Teller commented on the causes of the present depression, and said he differed from Senator Sherman as to the cause. He did not beUeve the financial difficulties were due to the Impending tariff legislation, but to the repeal of the Sherman act. "Does the Senator think the Democratic party is responsible for this condition he has depicted?" inquired Senator Daniel. "I think," replied Mr. Teller, "the Democratic party is entitled to Its fullest share of the odium of this condition. In my opinion this difficulty began in 1873, and has been continued by the acts of Congress since that time; and the culminating feat
ure of It was when this Democratic admin-' lstration insisted on the , repeal of the Sherman law, putting this country once for all upon an absolute gold basis." This closed the debate "for the day. KI0TERS INDICTED. Thirty Foreigners Engaged in the Mansfield Troubles Held for Trial. PITTSBURG. Jan. SO.-It is the intention of the Allegheny county authorities to make short work of the Mansfield coal region rioters.

After the adjournment about fifty colored and white men started for the mill to drive the nonunion men out. ith curses and yells the mob tore down the fence and msuii a rush for the finishing department. About a dozen men were at worK. The mob car ried revolvers, clubs and stones. They lired several volleys, and at the first one a workman, whose name is not known, fell to the floor, shot through the back. He Will probably die. The workmen were then surrounded and, being outnumbered four to one, fled precipitately from the mill. Diotecting themselves with tools and pieces of iron.

0HI0ANS AT CHICAGO
Governor McKinley anil Mr. Hurd Talk to Former Buckeyes. Two Eloquent Tributes to the Deeds of the Pioneers of Ohio and Their Illustrious Descendants. CHICAGO. Jan. 20. Sons and daughters of Ohio frasted, danced and applauded In honor of two of the State's representatives at the Grand Pacific Hotel to-night. The ocraslon was the fourth annual bmquet of the Ohio Society of Chicago. Governor Mc Klnley and ex-Congressman Frank Hurd were the gnests of honor. .The society Is composed of prominent ChlcagDans who own the Buckeye State as their birth place, and Is one of the best-known social or ganizations of the city. As a justification of Its claims to absolute neutrality In poli tics the society presented as Its speakers two prominent politicians who are diamet rically opposed to each otlier on the tariff Issue, and free trade and protection dwelt together for the evening In peace and har mony. From 6:15 to 7:43 old acquaintances were renewed and the members of the society greeted their ' guests at a reception held in the hotel parlors. Then came the banquet, at which Judge Leroy D. Thoman presided. The banquet hall was hand somely decorated and the tables artistically arranged. After the coffee the two speakers of the evening, Governor McKln ley and Mr. Hurd, were presented. Before introducing- them President Thoman asked that the guests rise and silently drink to the memory of one of Ohio's greatest sons, ex-President Hayes. M'KINLEY'S REMARKS. When seats had bee resumed Judge Tho man presented Governor McKlnley, who spoke as follows: "Ohio waa the optiIap nf - " "IIVHWII V4 the Lnlted Stfltf f rr mAr.. tHo,- 4 decades, during which was witnessed the uivi.

MR. KURD'S SPEECH. As the Governor concluded he was greeted with a prolonged round of applause. When the hand-clapping had subsided Mr. Hurd was introduced. After a happily worded greeting he continued: "Rarelv has th InfliiAnro nf tVi oirlv settlement of a commonwealth hvn so - hiblted in the growth and development of us peopie as in tne tate or Ohio.

(Concluded from Flrwt Page.) way out of a great difficulty. In conclu sion the foreign official said he did not see what the United States admiral would do with Admiral Da Gam a and the insurgents who surrendered with him. Admiral Benham, he added, could not very well surrender the Insurgents to President Peixoto, who would undoubtedly shoot them, and it was hardly probable that the United States government would care to assume the care of a mass of BrazUIan insurgents for an indennlte period. Thus, according to the rep resentative of the Foreign Office. If it was true that the Insurgents had surrendered to the United States admiral, the latter would e-m to have an elephant on hH hands. Lord Roseberv. Forelen Secretary, writins in reply to a correspondent, says that he recTets the deplorable state of affairs in Prazil. The government, however, he sets forth, cannot depart from Its general policy of nonintervention in tne arralrs or a foreign state, but, he adds, the British naval olhcer In command or her Majesty s Arret at Itlo de Janeiro Is plving the same protection to British subjects as other for eigners are receiving from tneir naval oincers from their respective governments. The Standard, commenting on this reply of Ijord Rosebery, says that his remark is no longer true, since the remarkable change in the attitude of the admiral commanding the United States fleet. It adds: "The blockade of fSio Janeiro has been broken up so far as American trading vessels are concerned, and we do not suppose that the American examnle will be lost upon merchants and naval officers representing other nations In the port. The only question outstanding U as to how far the Washington government will approve and support the action of Admiral Benham. Is the refusal to recognize the Insurgents a3 belligerents prompted rather by international etiquette than by obedience to any positive precept of international law? If the United States no loncrer abides by this punctilio. Great uritain and other states having at stake the Brazilian trade will doubtless follow suit. If the blockade is thus forcibly raised the Insurgent hope of reducing President Peixoto to submission by starving out the capital is ended. This'. was the insurgents' mainstay, xne victory of the government party at Rio - Janeiro, however, will not necessarily- jn-, volve the governments ascendancy throughout the country. A lingering rebellion mlR-ht be maintained for months or years in distant provinces, and eventually gather strength enough to expel the Peixotoists." The Telegraph says: "There is apparent ly no issue to the complicated tangle of the Brazilian conflict. Evidently the action of Admiral Benham was the result of a desire to submit to a crucial test the ques tion of whether commerce should or should not be brought to an entire standstill while the blockade was proceeding. In the point of a strict international law the position is anomalous, but practically there will be ,very general sympathy with the Americans In their decision not to permit commerce to be absolutely crippled by the wanton and fratricidal Brazilian struggle. Considering the very even state of th- conflict It was extremely unwise of Admiral Da Gama to risk another and more powerful foe to the ranks of his opponents. It might have been supposed that he had as much work a3 he was likely to accomplish In bringing Pe'xoto to reason." Embassador Bayard. In an interview re garding the reports of tiring between the United States war ships and the Insurgent vessels at Itio de Janeiro, said: "Should the news prove true. It will probably be shown that Hear Admiral Benham was merely protecting peaceful commerce and that no breach of the blockade has been committed as no blockade has been de clared. Rear Admiral Benham's action, as reported, does not indicate political Inter ference, it seems to have been simply a defensive measure. The latest news received here indicated what was likely to happen. In my opinion, it is the duty of the shit of any power to protect merchantmen. I cannot, therefore, believe or think that it is likely that there were or will be any objection by any other power to Admiral Benhp.m s action." Tin Cnmn n Prisoner.

LOTTERY IN FLORIDA
The Louisiana Concern Locates at Port Tampa City. Keport that It Intended to Go to Honduras Said to Have Been a "Blind" Exposed by a Newspaper. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 30. The Florida Citizen, the new daily founded here by L. S. MetcaJf. of New York city, will publish, to-morrow mornlnj, a page of matter purporting to be an exposure of the establishment in Florida of the Louisiana State lottery. The Citizen will say: "The Louisiana State Lottery Company, expelled from New Orleans, Dec 31 last, haa transferred Its headquarters to Port Tampa City, in this State. A gambling institution which, for twenty-five years, has been drawing from the American people from six to ten millions of dollars and retaining nearly 50 per cent, of the money is now In full operation on our soil. Under the name of the Honduras National Lottery Company, it pretended to remove to Honduras, but Its main offices are in Port Tampa City. There its tickets and advertisements are printed and money is received from its patrons. From that place Its lists of drawings, tickets and literature are sent out and rrizes are paid. "The lottery designs to make this State its permanent home. A change in the lottery laws of the State, enacted by the Legislature at Its last session, makes its existence here possible. The result of an investigation, carried on for several weeks by a member of the Citizen staff, will be a disagreeable surprise to the citizens of this State and the whole country. it was believed," continues the Citizen, "that, when the lottery was driven out of New Orleans, It would never again secure a footing oa American soil. A charter was secured from the government of the republic of Honduras, land was purchased In Puerto Cortez, a small town on the northeast coast, and an office building erected. But, while this rns being done to arrest suspicion from their plans, a much bolder scheme had been determined upon. Agents were sent to Florida and a tract of land was bought in Port Tampa City, a small village near the head of Tampa bay, 250 milefc southeast of Jacksonville. Here a large brick building 130 feet long and forty-five feet wide was built and equipped with a costly plant for printing lottery tickets and literature. A portion of the building is fitted up for oflices, and is occupied ostensibly by the Central American Express, but in reality by the employes of the lottery. The Citizen reporter remained for a week in Port Tampa, became acquainted with the lottery employes, and learned that, while the monthly drawings were to be conducted in Honduras, all the rest of the business would be carried on In-this State. Among other officials of the lottery the reporter met Mr. John A. Morris, of New York dty, who frankly admitted the na.ture of the business in which the Central American Express was engaged, and said that he expected that it would be permanently located in Port Tampa City. "On Jan, 13 the steamer Breakwater, chartered by the lottery, arrived at Port Tampa, bringing- President Paul Conrad, Manager L. L. Davis and Commissioners W. L. Cabel and Colvillere. They brought with them plates of the numbers winning prizes and several hundred thousand copies of the prize lists were at once struck off. The Citizen reporter accompanied tho commissioners to New Orleans and learned from them that no pretense was made of keeping an otilca staff in Honduras, but that in reality all the business of the lottery except the mere formal monthly drawing is carried on in this State." CAPTURED BY SOCIALISTS. Red Flag's Waved at a Sew York Meeting: of Unemployed. NEW YORK, Jan. 30. What was Intended to be a large mass meeting in Mad-iscn-square Garden to-night of the unem ployed of New York, at which plans to procure occupation for the great army of the unemployed were to be devised and the situation discussed by men calculated to be able to handle tho subject, turned out to be a large socialistic demonstration, which was so turbulent that the meeting was in confusion from beginning to end, and twenty feet from the platform it was uterly timposslble to hear the loudest speaker. At 8 o'clock Madison Square Garden wns thronged with humanity. Every tier was crowded to the rials and the floor space contained as many persons as could conveniently find standing room. It was estimated that at least 20.000 people were In the buUdtn,g. The meeting was opened by Dr. Coit, who announced the object of the gathering. His remarks were received with cheers. Professor De Leon, the well-known Socialist, was next presented. The character of the assemblage was then demonstrated. Ited flags were waved frantically and thousands of Socialists in the building fairly went wild. It was at this moment that a Socialist who Insisted on loudly airing his views on millionaires and wealth got In a dispute in the rear of the stage. A fight was Instantly projected, and. as if by magic, twenty blue coats, who had before remained in seclusion. Jumped into the crowd and hustled th? combatants into the streets. The wildest excitement followed and the police were hissed. When Abraham Cahan, another Socialist, was addressing the meeting, a man named Bogadourky, leaped on a chair before him, and shaking his finger at the latter, exclaimed: "Scab, scab, scab." The refrain was taken" up and Cahan was hissed. Such scenes were common throughout the meeting. Other speakers were Samuel Gompers and Dr. Rainsford.

ARRESTED AT A CHURCH. Frank Wadsworth, of Hazlewood, Ar rested for Horse Stealing. Through the efforts of detectives Thornton and McGuff, the horse and buggy stolen from the Pabst Brewing Company last Saturday night has been recovered. Frank Wadsworth, a young man living at Hazelwood, Hendricks county, is under arrest for the theft The horse was taken on Saturday night from East Washington treet. where the driver had alighted and tied the animal to a hitching ring. No clew was , found until yesterday afternoon, when de tective Thornton was advised of the pres ence of a strange turnout at Hazlswood. In company with an employe of the brewing company, he drove to Hazlewood yesterday evening. Just after dark the men were passing along a country road, when a young man seated in a rig with two girls drove around them. The horse was instantly rec ognized as the stolen property, and the trio or young people were lollowed. lhey drove but a short distance and drew up in front of church, where the servicss were about opening. The young man had assisted the girls to alight, escorted them to the door, and was proceeding to hitch the horse when detective Thornton laid a hand on his arm and in that mellow tone peculiar to the officer, remarked: "My friend, you have the wrong horse." The young man displayed considerable imitation, but insisted that he had traded for the rig while in the city last week. Quietly the detective handcuffed his man and eft the churchyard as the choir was singing the opening hymn. The prisoner gave the name of Frank Wadsworth. He was placed in a carriage and brought to the city at once. Detective Thornton thinks that other robberies can be traced to the prisoner, and will go to Hazlewood again to-day. JOGGING UP HEALTH BOARDS. State Board of Health Making" Many Suggestions. The State Board of Health is sending to each of the 356 health boards in the State a circular letter calling attention to the lack "of uniformity of procedure by health officers, and, in many cases, a lack of knowledge concerning their duties and making a number of suggestions. Among the suggestions was one urging them to embody the rules of the State board in ordinances, have them passed and enforced: another Insisting upon not only flagging or carding houses In which contagious diseases are prevailing, but of maintaining a strict Quarantine of such houses and of thoroughly disinfecting them after the recovery or death of the patients; another enforcing strict privacy on funerals of all persons dying from smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria or cholera, no one to be allowed to attend such funerals but those absolutely necessary to convey and inter the body. The necessity of reporting all births, deaths and contagious diseases Is again Impressed on the several boards and they are urged to see that such returns are made by the physicians of their communities. Accompanying the letters are sent printed copies of the rules and regulations lor the government of town, city and county boards of health, adopted two years ago. and copies of the "preventable disease circular" Issued by the board, which contains many valuable suggestions for the restriction and prevention of diphtheria, scarlatina, smallpox and typhoid fever.

There is very considerable protest against the decision of the Republican committee to held the State convention April 26. One strong and valid objection i3 that it occurs wh?n Indiana cities are in the hard wurk of a municipal campaign and on the very eve of these elections. This point was urged upon the committee and an unavailing, effort was made to obviate this objection. The committee acted very unwisely In not rivin-? heed to this altogether reasonable "onsideration. Independent of this objection, he date is entirely too early and a very -rave mistake was made in the matter. The convention is two months too-early. A midwinter sroip convention was a mistake in New York, and Indiana Republicans should not commit the same blunder. It ought to be avoided yet, and the Republican State committee cannot do a better thing than to reconvene, reconsider the matter and hold a later convention. The early convention Is not favoraole to any interest except to relieve the strain and suspense of th.? candldxtcs. Their suppose! preference and convenience should not have a f eother's welrrht against the manifest Interest of the Republican party. Democratic Wnil. Philadelphia Times. If there were any co-operation possible between the two parties In the House the obnoxious Income tax would be easily defeited. It was supported by a mere majority of the Democratic caucus, and If all those opposed to it would vote against it we should hear na more of it. The Republican?, however, prefer that this idiotic addition should be made to the bill for the discredit it will bring upon the Democrats, and as the latter are the responsible ptrty they have no right to expect the opposition to help them. Speak lnc of the Income Tax. Brooklyn Eagle. Democracy must Indeed be ruled by th spirit of the demagogue when it is willing to surrender a fundamental principle of . the American system to a passing cry of ! th3 hour, and when it thinks to commend ' Itself to the people bv a crusade against the men of brains and the men of capital in the Northern, middle and Fastern Commonwealths. That the dominant party in the House Is about to commit an irretrievable blunder is manifest. A Matter of State Pride. Chicago Tribune. -This thing of prize fighting." Pild the passenger with the skull cap on his head, "is mighty low business. Train robbing's respectable by the side of It."
