House bond bill an J this feeling caused Secretary Carlisle to write to Chairman Dingl?y. Aside from the very Important objection that the bonds are to be redeemed In coin, instead of gold, as recommended by the President. It Is understood that the requirement that the bond be. sold by subscription meets 'with disapproval. The experience of the government, it Is said, with sales by advertisement show the InefTecutal character of this means of protection to the gold reserve. The. public notice for the first sale was Issued In January, 1S04. The payments were made in February principally and In that month the withdrawals of gold amounted to about 18,00u,XW In excels of the exports which. Instead of decreasing, reached the sum of i4.O0O.00O durlns? the succeeding six months. The second sale was made by notice published on Nov. 13, ISM. and the withdrawals of thaw month and the two succeeding months amounted to JSI.OOO.Ouo, nearly fco.Cun.O) in excess of exports, or nearly the entire amount of gold paiJ for the bonds. After the syndicate contract of Feb. 8, 1SD5, until the deliveries had been completed during the succeeding summer there was no material withdrawals or exports. The records of the first bond sale show that the Individual subscriptions amounted to only JTtf.W while banking firms subscribed for $ll?22.(W and Institutions for C5.824.730. The individual subscriptions to the second sale amounted to only Sl.C33.Ko; those from banking firms to $S7.813.500: Institutions. $18,053,800, or a tr.lal (exclusive of the syndicate's bid for 5100,000,000) of S78.341.1SO. The ability of the government to float any considerable loan under the terms of the pending bill also is brought hi question. The quotation of the United States 4-per-cent. bonds of 1925 was yesterday 115 bid. ThLi produced to th. purchaser a return of over 3 per cent. How, then, the administration asks, can the bonds in the proposed law, which are limited to 3 per cent., be sold at par. The question Is also asked whether the requirement as to advertisement, when taken In connection with the first sentences of the section, com-

ment for these bonds that is, either gold cr silver. COLD IlESEIWB DWINDLING. Another Iiane off Honda Mar Be Announccd Next "Week. WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. The treasury lost gold to-day to the amount of $2,418,000. which leaves the true amount of the reserve $63,S63,320. The recent heavy withdrawals, with the indications pointing to their Infinite continuance. It' is thought, can lead to no other result - than another issue of bonds, and that in the near future. The administration is strongly opposed to the bond bill now pending in the House, and in view of this fact the opinion prevails In official circles that the President will not wait much longer before Issuing bonLs. Indeed, It is believed that the President would much prefer to proceed to another issue of bonds under the authority he already has, and under which the last three issues were -made, than to acr under the pending bill or any modifications of it. which are likely to be made. This being the case, it 13 argued that the President will not wait for any action by the Senate, but in case the situation shows no signs of permanent improvement, will announce another issue not later than the coming week. Under the provisions of the resumption act it is argued the President is not prevented, as he is in the pending measure, from dealing with a syndicate which can be obligated to procure ascertain proportion of the -gold from abroad, and what Is regarded as of even more importance, can be pledged not to take any part of gold from the government supply and to protect the reserve. all of wfolch obligations were contained in the contract with the Belmont-Morgan syndicate. The President and Secretary Carlisle have strong views on these points. WAR SPIRIT WANING i LOXDOX ICEW'SPAPERS NOT SO BLUSTERY AS LAST WEEK. Evidence that Both Russians and Frenchmen Are Not with England In the Venesnelan Dispute. LONDON, Dec. 23. The New York correspondent of the Times expresses the opinion that President Cleveland is likely to be called to account for exceeding his constitutional prerogatives In threatening war on Great Britain In his Venezuelanmessage. This, he thinks, is a result of the entire subsidence of the war spirit. The Times has an editorial this morning which concludes as follows: In these happily altered circumstances there seems but one threatening cause of fresh complications, and that Is that the Venezuelans should be inflamed to violent deeds. It Is to the interest of both the American and Dritlsh people that the Venezuelans should bo warned 'that any lawless acts against British subjects will meet with no sympathy from the United States. We do not doubt that the American government and people realize the truth as strongly as it Is realized here." It -is a sign of declining Interest In the subject that for the first time since President Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan boundary was sent to Congress the leading dallies are to-day without editorials on the Venezuelan question. Russia's attitude toward the question still excites curiosity. The Berlin correspondent of the Standard says on this that trustworthy news Is at hand tat Russia has no idea of taking active steps against England, either with or without the aid of the United States. Hut the- Vienna correspondent of the Standard quotes a St: Petersburg dispatch to the Neue Frele I'resse, which declares that Russia has diplomatically offered to support President Cleveland's views. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Berlin Tapeblatt says that the United States government has been sounimg Russia releasing the dispute with Krigland. and Is raid to have received the roost favorable reply. It is declared that the Russian government shares President Cleveland's views on the Venezuelan question anl is prepared to support them, at any rate, diplomatically. The dispatch adds that it is not Impossible that the United States has received the support of Russia irrnhe present financial troubles. A dispatch from Paris says: In spite of the first expressions of the French press, which inclined to an English view of the Venezuela dispute, a very strong current of public opinion, perhaps a controlling one in Paris, has developed In favor of the American side of the question. This is illustrated by a notable article In the Figaro, by Vhlst." one of the leading political writers of France, and by many other signed articles now appearing In the press. The Figaro praises President Cleveland's attitude as quite statesmanlike, and scouts the Idea that he 13 simply seeking reelection. The financial article In the Dally News says:. "It speaks volumes for the changed political aspect that an American bond issue should be discussed from the point of view of the London market taking a part of the issue. A few days ao such an idea would have been received with Indig nation. To-day a disposition is shown in many quarters to consider such a proposal on its merits. Naturally the United States would hardly lay Itself open to rebuff even If. as matters stand, seems probable. European capitalists would participate largely. And if any definite official Intimation could be given of a peaceable character all objections would be rvrt and a ready response would show how little resentment is left In England." - The Berlin correspondent of. the Daily News warns people against attaching too much credence to reports that Russia will support President Cleveland. The relations between the Russian and English courts, continues the correspondent, are much more cordial than under Alexander's reign. DOVX "WITH THE ENGLISH!" "Hurrah for Veiieineln and the United SlutesT NEW YORK. Dec. S7.-A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, says: The enthusiasm at the anti-English meeting was Indescribable. It was the gran lest outburst In the ar.nils of Venezuela. Every house was decorated anl the people were wild. There was a parade of thirty thousand and an ovation at the American legation.

y los Estalos UnHos!" (Down with the English! Hurrah for Venezuela and the United States!) The multitude then proceeded to the statue of Liberator Uollvar, where the American colony deposited a superb floral wreath, returning the courtesy of the Venezuelans to Washington on previous occasions. All the Latin-American republics. It is said, are In a secret league and wjll join Venezuela, it Is expected, in case of war again t England. Colombia has responded to Venezuela's request, it is whispered, by. promising to contribute w.o troop anl agreeing to give the British minister his passports unless England consents to submit the Guiana question to arbitration. Brazil is to send 100.000 men, armed and equipped. Mexico is counted on to ail with a fleet. Hy calling out her mllltl.i Venezuela can place i'AdjO mea in the field. The Venezuelan Foreicn Office Is very active. It will send immediately extra envoys to all the forts of the world. Jose Raphael RIcart. president of the Yaracuy Company, an American organization, has been placed In. charge of the defenses of the northwest coast. A great commotion has been caused by a rumor that the British minister to Colombia has been attacked bv the populace in Botnat England has demanded 300.0CO (f2.503.oaj) indemnity therefor, and that Great Britain will hold the Colombian custom house until tbe amount is paid.

FLEKIXO RESIDENTS OP ZEITOUX PROBABLY MASSACRED. About 2,500 Armenians Slaughtered at the Capture of the City and Only 250 Turku Killed. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 27.-U is officially announced that most obstinate fighting preceded the capture ofZeitoun by tho Turks. Semi-official advices from Zeitoun say that the Armenians lost 2,500 killed during the engagement and that or.y 250 Turks were killed. The narrow pass between the hills leading out of Zeltoun, is said to be crowded with Armenians, men. women and children, and it is feared they will be massacred. The embassadors of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Austria sent their dragomans to th palace to-day in order to make representations, with the view of preventing the Armenians from being massacred and pointing out the gravity of such a deed. Little hope Is felt, however, that the representations of the embassadors will, avail, and the general belief is that the Armenian survivors of Zeitoun have already been killed. The financial situation continues to be very bad. The various projects of the Porte to rals money by granting monopolies for the sale of petroleum, alcohol, etc., have collapsed for the present, although it Is believed that negotiations on the subject will shortly be resumed. The Porte, however, has succeeded in collecting f20,0CO from the various villayets, which money was devoted to paying the month's salaries of the officials here. But nothing haj been said about paying the soldiers and others who are in arrears and, in consequence, the feeling of discontent In the army, which has frequently been referred to recently. Is understood to be on the Increase, and the situation is by no means a bright one. WARMER AND PAIR Prediction! nnd Observations of ihe Local Weather Bureau.

PREACHERS ARRESTED

WELLS COIWTY OFFICCIIS SWOOP DOWX OX THH AMISH SECT. Win dorr-Gins Trust Decides to Close Its Plant Work of Outlaw In Tippecanoe County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUH, Ind.. Dec. 27,-There is great excitement In the southern part of this county to-day over the arrest of thirteen Amish ministers and prominent members of that church. The Amish are known for their peculiar religious beliefs and modes of worship. They believe only in the Bible, which Is their law, and that all laws made by men are contrary to the Bible. They also refuse to have anything to do with the courts, and are very quiet and law-abiding outside of their religious beliefs regarding marrying and burying their dead. Christian Shwartz and David Shwartz, two of their leading ministers, were arrested, charged with solemnizing marriages when the couples had no license. In several cases they have married couples that were first cousins, and several young men have married their half sisters. Some time ago a young man died and was burled in an orchard. . A hole about two feet square was made In the ground, and the corpse thrown in without either coffin or rough box. This is in conformity with their belief that wheat should grow over the graves of the dead. There is a colony of 600 living In this county and they have resided here for years unmolested. But the last grand Jury made a thorough investigation, with above results. Some of those arrested are charged with foratcatlon. They declare they will let the law take Its course, but if they are molested the colony will move 'to some other State. They own good farms and are quite wealthy. They gave $5,0CO bond 'and were released. Am tali People to Emigrate. DELPHI. Ind., Dec. 27.-The largest exodus from any one county in northern Indiana at one time will take place from Newton county the flrsl of January. A number of years ago a large number of Amlsh people settled in the region of Mount Ayr, Newton county. They were uneducated and cared little for the luxuries of life, but were industrious, and all of them prospered. They put in a number of years draining the farms upon which thev yettied, until they became very valuable, ino recent innux or rarmers rrom Illinois sent this land, up to $00 an acre. The Amish people considered this a fortune, but being very clannish, not one farmer would dispose of his belonging without the consent of the settlement. A meeting was accordingly called, and it was decided to put all the farms on the market, and they readily secured buyers. The Amish people have made arrangements to take up their homes near Gibson. Miss., where they have purchased land. They have chartered a special train, and Jan. 1 the entire settlement, about KM) people In all, will leave for their new homes in the South. There are no finer farms in northwestern Indiana than the farms reclaimed from the swamps by these Amlsh people. , M'COY A BAD CITIZEN. Once In a Plot to IIold Vp a Monon Pusaenffer Train.

The New YorH Senator precipitated consideration of the bond question by offering a resolution directing that future bond issues to renew the gold reserve should bear a provision that they would be payable in gold or silver at the option of the holder. In support of this, Mr. Hill read a speech setting forth the difficulties of negotiating bond under the uncertainties of the present law. Mr. Teller's reply to" Mr. Hill was cutting, sarcastic and personal. He repudiated ana protested against the efforts of the President and all his "tide waiters" to defame the credit of the United States. He spoke of the recent visit to Washington of a great New York banker as one of those who had participated in "the dishonorable or Imbecile" bond transaction of last year. The galleries were crowded during the de bate and the Senators, as well as' spectators, keenly enjoyed the caustic tilt. Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) added his protest to that of Mr. Teller against the defamation of our national credit. No final action on the Hill resolution was taken. Mr. .Burrows presented a tariff bill as soon as the Senate convened. He explained that under the Wilson bill many articles were placed on the free list. The House bill passed yesterday had raised duties on articles already on the dutiable list, but had not reached those on the free list except in a few instances. The bill he now introduced placed GO per cent, of the duty under the law. of 1830 on those articles placed on the free list under the present law. Mr. Sherman suggested that it was con-" trary to precedents for a revenue bill to originate In the Senate. It could be considered only as an amendment, not as a bill. Mr. Burrows accordingly offered the measure as an amendment, and it was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Hale offered a resolution directing the Secretary of the Navy to accept the ram Katahdin and place her on the naval rolls. Mr. Pettlgrew urged that this proposition tended toward a bad precedent. These ships were given every advantage of speed trials, and if they failed to come up to requirements it was Just that they be rejected. After some discussion as to the merits of war ships, Mr. Pettlgrew withdrew the objection, but Mr. Allen renewed It, whereupon the measure went over. Later 'n the day the objetion was withdraw? and the resolution adopted. Mr. Quay briefly explained the nature of a bill he introduced for increasing the duty on leaf tobacco. The bill making Palm Beach, Fla., a subport of entry and delivery passed. The fatality at Chicago when,- something more than a year ago, an army ammunition wagon exploded in the street, was recalled by a bill offered by Mr. Cullom compensating the families of those killed. HILL'S BOND RESOLUTION. The bond question made its appearance when Mr. Hill introduced the following resolution: "Resolved, That any bonds hereafter issued under the laws now in force may, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, be made payable In United Siates gold coin of the present standard weight and fineness, or in standard silver dollars, at the option of the holders of such bonds, but no bond containing-, such option shall bear a rate of interest exceeding 3 per cent, per annum, payable quarterly." - Mr. Hill spoke at some length In favor of his resolution. He detailed the serious condition of the treasury, which could only be relieved by another bond issue. The Secretary of the Treasury was hampered under the present law and should be given the option of issuing gold or silver bonds. An amendment to the present law he believed imFeratlve. Mr. Hill considered a popular bond ssue under the present statute Impossible, but his resolution would take away this obstacle. No tariff law, he said, would remedy; the trouble. The executive authorities, he claimed, had clearly shown that tremendous expansion of our paper circulation was the cause of our critical condition. His resolur Hon was a temporary remedy. Mr. Teller protested against the assertion, first made by the President of the United States, and now repeated in the Senate, that the United States was bankrupt. He protested against the repeated assertion that United States bonds could not be sold at a low rate of interest. He specified the sales of bonis last year to show that coin bonds were readily sold. "In that transaction, which was an everJastinsr disgrace, showing, the dishonesty or Imbecility of this administration, our bonds were eagerly sought," said Mr. Teller. Here there was a sharp colloquy between the New YorKerand-Mr. Teller as to the purpose of the resolution. Mr. Hill said it simply sought to specify ' payments In gold, as good financiers doubted our ability to float bonds at less than 4 per cent. TELLER SCORES ADMINISTRATION. "Who doubts it?" asked Mr. Teller, passionately. "We are told that a great banker from New York has recently been Invited to Washington to tell us how to get out of this dilemma. This is only one of the bankers concerned in the disgraceful action of last year. Is he the one who doubts our ability to float bonds at less than 4 per cent?" Mr. Teller proceeded with much vigor, his warmth of expression at times bringing forth a ripple of applause from the galleries. He repudiated the suggestion, he said, that our credit was destroyed. The securities of the United States are glltedse in the markets of the world. They were eagerly sought by financiers. They had never been dishonored and their disnonor proclaimed except by this President of the United States and those who represent him in the United States Senate. Mr Teller entered his solemn protest against this disgradatlon of our national credit. "Later," said the Senator, "I will in detail answer these assaults on our national honor from those of the President down to his lowest tide-waiter who assumes to come here and speak on financial affairs." If the country was in danger It was because of the President's Intemperate financial utterances. It was a disgrace to have this constant as sertion of national aisnonor. Mr. lelier declared that the recent utterance of the President on finances was to reassure his friends in New York, with whom he always advised, who had become alarmed at the position the President had taken on another subject. Mr. Allen protested against the remarks of Mr. Hill and the latter's conclusions. Mr. Hill had, he said, given utterance to a statement to the effect that all the treasury notes and greenbacks were redeemable in gold, but such was not the case. The greenbacks were redeemable In coin and had been since the day when they were first Issued. So also of the certificates under the Bland-Allison notes. Mr. Allen, resuming his speech, said that the notes issued under the Sherman act were also redeemable in silver. He asserted that when the President had said the greenback was redeemable In gold only he falsified the history. of the country, while Senator Hill advocated a policy that would change the whole law in regard to legal tender. Mr. Hill replied to the criticisms made. There were three distinct protests, he said, based on the Idea that an attack on the public credit had been made by him (Hill.) On the contrary, this proposition was to sustain the public credit. The Senator from Colorado (Teller) seemed to think that every remote reference to gold was an attack on his tavorite idea. "I do not know whether the Senator Intended to be offensive." said Mr. Hill, "in referring to the 'tide waiters' of the President." Mr. Teller quickly arose to say that he had not intended to refer to the Senator from New York. There were a number of men "hanging around the Treasury Department" who felt themselves authorized to speak on the financial policy. "The fabricator of metal coins," he said, "was daily In the papers with learned dissertations on the policy of the government." Mr. Hill, resuming, said he supposed the "fabricator of coins" referred to the Director of the Mint. He was probably as competent to speak on finance as gentlemen "from the wilds of Colorado." The Senator asserted, with emphasK that he was not one of those ppecified by Mr. Teller as "hanging around the treasury." "I speak for no one but myself," declared Mr. Hill, with vehemence, "and th-y cannot crowd me off that platform." The Senator paid these attacks on the Secretary of the Treasury were for alleged offenses when every Secretary during the last fifteen vears had pursued the same policy. They had all protected the gold reserve. If this reserve was not protected the result Indirectly affected our national credit. He protested axalnst thy firing in the air. this

-r failure to answer a direct and clear proposition with anything more than attacks on ofliclals and with assertions that the national credit was being assailed. With the close of Mr. 111119 speech the resolution was laid aside. A joint resolution was agreed to transferring the territorial machinery of government In Utah to the State authorities. At 2:23 o'clock the Senate went Into executive session and at 2:40 adjourned until Monday. TO APPEASE SILVERITES.

Bond Bill Slay Re Sacrificed nnd a Colnnge Measure Paed. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. The Republican Senators have devoted considerable time during the past few days to informal conferences among themselves concerning the House tariff and bond bills. It Is generally admitted that both bills will encounter very serious obstacles in the Senate, largely on account of the silver sentiment in that body. This sentiment is so strong that it has been feared by the anti-silver men that it would result in a free-coinage amendment to each of he bills. In view of this situation it has been suggested that one of the bills might be sacrificed for the purpose of getting the other through. It Is believed by some that if the bond bill can be first considered and a free coinage bill substituted for it and passed the free-coinage Republicans will then consent to allow the tariff bill to pass without a; silver amendment, and It is upon this line that the friends of the tariff bill are now proceeding. Some of the silver Republicans have indicated a willingness to consider this suggestion, but others of them express doubts as to its feasibility. Tariff BUI Amendments. WASHINGTON, Dec 27.
