Sanator Allison Says the Action is Tardy. He Thinks the Subject Oaght to Have Been Conaidered Ilefore the Tariff Bill Was Tukrn Vp Itefera to the Statement of Senator Voorheea The House Judiciary Committee Almost at l'nlt AKninitt the Legality of the . Secretary's Action. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Secretary Carlisle late this afternoon Issued the following circular inviting proposals for 5 ptr cent, bonds: "TREASURY DEPARTMENT. "OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY. "WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 17. 1SH4. "By virtue of the authority contained in the act entitled, 'An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments,' approved Jan. 14, 1S75, the secretary of the treasury hereby offers for public subscription an issue of bonds of the United States to the amount of J.'AuOO,000 in either registered of coupon form, in denominations of $"0 and upward, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government aften ten years from the date of their issue and bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. "Proposals for the whole or any part of these bonds will be received at the treasury department, office of the secretary, until 12 o'clock noon on the 1st day of February, 1SD4. Proposals should state the amount of bonds desired, whether registered or couon, and the premium which the subscriber proposes to pay, the pl.i-.re where it is desired that the bonds should be delivered, and the offer, whether that of the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of United States where it will be most convenient for the subscriber to deposit the amount of his subscription. Failure to specify the above particulars may cause the proposal to b rejected. "As soon as practicable after the 1st day of February! 1S94, the allotment of bonds will be ma to the highest bidders therefor, but no p; oposal will be considered at a lower price than 117.223, which is the quivalent of a 3 per cent, bond at par, and the right to reject any and all proiosals is hereby expressly reserved. In case the bids entitled to allotment exceed the bonds to be issued, they will be alloted pro rata. "Notice of the date of delivery of the bonds will be sent to the subscribers to whom allotments are made as soon as practicable, and within ten days from the date of such notice subscriptions must be paid in United States gold coin to the treasurer, or such assistant treasurer of the United States as such subscriber has designated, and if not so paid the proposal may be rejected. "The bonds will be dtted Feb. 1, 1S04, and when payment is made therefor as above accrued interest on both princ ipal and premium from Feb. 1. 11:4. to date of payment.at the rate of Interest realized to the subscriber on Iris investment will be added. All proposals should be addressed to the secretary of the treasury, Washington. P. C. and should be distinctly marked: "Proposals for subscriptions to 5 per cent bonds. "J. G. CARLISLE, Secretary." Senator Alllaon's View. Senator Allison of Iowa, a member of the finance committee, in speaking of the present financial difficulties, says that it would have been th? best policy to have adopted the provision which was made a part of the appropriation bill last February, and then the difficulty under which the treasury now labors would have been avoided. Referring to the statement of Senator Voorhees made yesterday the Iowa senator said it was not the statement of the committee, yet there might be an understanding that it mijrht represent the ideas of a majority of the committee and also mean that no action would be taken by the committee at present. "It is conceded," sail he, "that the disoussion in the senate would take six weeks, and that the senate would have to issue bonds anyway. The secretary did not come to us (meaning the linanee committee) until after the house had been buttoned up for a month with the tariff bill and could take no action. What ought to have been dona was to have taken the bor. question before th tariff and settled that which was most pressing." Aftainnt the Proposal. The appointment of Representative Do Armond of Missouri, who was today designated by Speaker Crisp to take the place of J. R. Fellows on the judiciary committee, was determined on before the bond issue was raised. Yet Mr. Ie Armond shares the views of Chairman Culberson and other democratic members on the committee against the legality of the sale of bonds, except for the redemption of greenbacks. This makes the democratic membership of the judiciary committee almost, or quite, a unit against the bond policy. The ('old Iteaerve. Th net gold reserve sustained a loss of JS62.000 today, and stands at $70,63 4,313. The net available balance of the treasury today is $St,lt",G02, a reduction of $6,209,933 since Jan. 1. orposKn to nons. Officers of the K. of I,. Talk of an Injunction. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The Baltimore dispatch announcing a threatened injunction by the Knights of Lalxir against Secretary Carlisle to restrain him from Issuing $00.000,000 in bonds as contemplated by him, was taken to the treasury ' department this afternoon and shown to the secretary. Mr. Carlisle merely read the dispatch but declined to say anything whatever on the subject for publication. Other offlctaJa of the department to whom the dispatch was shown were not surprised on learning Its contents. The feeling cf the Knights of Labor and of labor union generally on the bond question wa known to be unfavorable, as had bewn shown by th passage of resolutions aguinst it. The officials were a unit on the opinion that the secretary bad nothing more than a temporary delay to fear from injunction proceedings, and even this they did not think f ri the i-"et degree probable. The secretary consulted the attorney-general, the law officer of the government, and the president before Issuing the bond call. AppMMttonj for writs of injunction or

a mandamus against department officials are usually made to one of the justices of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. An appeal from a decision of the supreme court of the district would lie to the district court of appeals, but in the ordinary course of events could not be hear! by the "higher court for several monens. unless an order advancing it on the calendar was made. From the court of appeals the case might be taken to the United States supreme court, if the discouragement that unquestionably would be met by the enjoiners in the lower courts did not cause them to cease their efforts. It is believed no delay would be occasioned by these legal proceedings, as even a temporary injunction doubtless would be denied. The populists of the house know nothing about the injunction against the bond issue. Jerry Simpson of Kansas says he will have no hand in it, but would be glad if it were true. IIa Power to Sell Honda. Representative Culbertson of Texas, chairman of the judiciary committee, says there is no doubt of the power of Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds for the purpose of the resumption act. The general opinion among the lawyers of the house is that proceedings would have no standing In court. Strong sentiment is expressed among the silver leaders of the house against the "gold clause" of Secretary Carlisle's notice of a bond sale. Representative P.land says that it is the first time he has ever seen an official statement declining to accept silver or any of the various forms of legal tender and requiring payment in gold only. Aside from the legality of the gold clause, the silver men say it is against public policy to make a public discrimination against one of the money metals now in use. and that the effect of the secretary's action is to tend to send gold to a premium and to disturb the parity between gold and silver coins. Representative Tracey of New York, one of the anti-silver leaders of the house, said: "Secretary Carlisle wants no more silver for he already has in the treasury more than he wants. What is needed is gold. It is fortunate under these circumstances that the law allows him to s cure the particular metal he wants. While the bonds are payable In gold, yet in selling them the secretary has the authority to secure payment in any class of coin he needs, as the express purpose of that law was to give a means of meeting the needs of the treasury-" Believe There I 'o Gold Ileaerve. Some of the treasury department officials have a theory, which has been advanced several times heretofore and which is said to be shared by some of those who have a hand in directing the affairs of the department, that at this time there actually exists no funds that can be properly termed the "gold reserve." The so-called gold reserve whieh was created by Secretary Sherman under the act of 1S7Ö, they hold, has been entirely wiped out by the redemptions of United States notes and treasury" notes, for which purpose it was originally created. The redemption of treasury notes alone, it is said, has been sufficient to wipe out the go? 1 reserve, and redemptions of United States and treasury notes, together, up to a recent period, has aggregated $1 19.0oo.0o0. This vast amount of notes has not been retired, but has been reissued. If this theory is carried to its legitimate conclusion, it is bold that the governm nt has not been using the go!J reserve for the payment of current expenditures, but has been merely drawing on its stock of assets ;is represented by t he gold. It is said that certain figures, bearing out the deductions above referral to. have been prepared for the use of Secretary Carlisle, and that he will sholly issue a statement on the subject.

The K. of L. I)ipa tcha. BALTIMORE, Jan. 19. A special to the Xews from Phil ob Iphia says: Last r.i'.'ht the following dispatch was sent from the Knights of Labor headquarters after consultation among the officers present: "J. K. Sovereign, General Master Workman. K. of L., Des Moines. la.: "Seeur counsel prd go before the United States supreme court immediately. Enter injunction proceedings against Carlisle, restraining him from issuing j.-.O.OOO.noo of bonds.

FIGHTING SOFAS IN AFRICA.

TIIOl 5AD- DEFEATED T1Y A FORCI1 OF FORTY 3IEX. Sickening; Scene at a Town "Where Score of Slaughtered "atlvea "Were Strewn Ahont More Bloodshed In Uracil The War In Sooth Africa. LONDON. Jan. 13. The foreign office received today a dispatch from Lieut.Col. A. B. Ellis, the British officer In command of the troops in Sierra Leono, west coast of. Africa. The colonel furnishes details of the engagement fought between frontier police and Sofas recently, during which forty men of the former force, with a few native auxilliarles, defeated 4,000 Sofas at Gala in Tonkia. Col. Ellis reports that Inspector Taylor of the frontier police was pursuing the Sofas, who had been ravaging and deciminating a friendly country. During this pursuit the column arrived at the town of Kerrayemma on Dec. 31 and found the place to be a perfect charnal house. Scores of slaughtered natives, including women and children, were strewn about the neighborhood or piled inside the town. Sick and wounded people were to be seen on all fides and the stench from the putrifying bodies was horrible In the extreme. Inspector Taylor hastened in pursuit of the Sofas, who had done this bloody work, and came close upon their trail on Jan. 2 at Kagwema, The frontier police managed to approach the Sofa encampment without being observed and found that the place was strcngly protected by blockades and other defenses. The police, however, carried the place by storm in a quarter of an hour, killing 200 Sofas and wounding seventy-seven others. In addition, the frontier police captured all the guns and ammunition of the Sofas and rescued 400 slaves, the majority of whom were women and children. The victory of the frontier police completely dispersed a horde of bloody slave drivers, whose crimes have long been the terror of that portion of Africa, Some of the women and chidren released by the British force were in a terrible state of weakness, due from sickness and lack of food, and it will require the utmost care for days to save their lives. Numbers of them have been brutally beaten, and upon their bodies were large sores, made by the chains and ropes with which the unfortunate captives had been lound. The frontier police lost two men during the engagement and seemed to have acted in a most thorough and skillful manner. Four days previously the Sofas under Chief Fori, attacked the police garrison at Tonkia. but were repulsed with a loss of fifty killed and a large number wounded. More FiKhtirts- In Ilm HI.

77 S. Illinois St, Indiakai ous, I.nd. A WOMAN'S INVENTION. A Fevr Ilooaehold Articles Which Woman llaa 1'lanned. The Chicago Sunday Tribune of a recent date publishes the following article In regard to Mrs. Caroline Wescott Romney, who was at one tune eastern correspondent for The Sentinel. Speakinsr of the articles offered for inspection at the world's fair, the Tribune says: "No less than fourteen articles wer offered for inspection hy Mrs. Romney at tha fair, several of which were awarded medals. Among these is a water-cooler which does r.ot require ire to keep th water cool at all times. It consists of a covered receptacle for holding the pail of water and is made of cei!ui.j.r brickware, which is manufactured of clay, sawdust and asbestos i.ber. In the process of manufacture the sawdust is b,irnd out at a white heat in the kiln, leaving the product cc-llaiar. or poms. By reason of this porousness it is made a perfect nn -conductor of heat and cMl, and is perious to water. The receptacle, with the water t' be kept cool within it. stands in a tray of ealvanized iron which hoiis v.ati'r to h. d-pth of two or three inches. By reason of the porosity of the cool.-r. and the force of capi! ary attraction, the wat'ir in the tray constantly rises through the cellular walls of the rec'emaele and is as constantly evaporated. This rapid evaporation chills th air inside and keep;? the water as cool as it is usually drawn from a well or pprins. It. this nuans it i claimed, the temperature of the water can be kept as low as 41 degrees. "There is a milk cooler or creamer similarly made, suitable for for either dairy or household use. The s;me method used f"r keeping the water eol is employed, and it is claimed for tne n-.TiK-coobr that not only does it do away with the c"st of ice in tlv cooling ar.d preservation of milk an 1 thripeninsr of the crcsin, but also preserves a uniformity in the tempc rature. which can be maintained without Il.ictuation at 44 de;rrees. I.irs. Ilomuc-y says that the warmer the weather the greater the evaporation and consequent lowering of the temperature inside; the cooler the weather the les the evaporation, and correspondincly less, the necessity for lowering of the temperature, which thus remain" at about the same degree the year round. A Modern Dinner Pall. "But what will especially interest tha hundreds of thousands ot housewives wha have to put up a lunch every day for tha bread winners of the family is that Mrs. Romney has invented a dinn-r pail which will keep the food placed in it, for several hours, as hot as when it left the cooking stove in the morning. " -Jiv Dad's Dinner Pail.' as the old song had it. used to be made of tin that 'sparkled like silver, so worn and bright. The song will have to be modi'ied now, 83 that henceforth. In storm or In sunshine. In snow, rain or hall, It will keep hot forever. My dad's dinne r pail. "The new dinner pill that Pat and Tim and Michaelo and Pe-dro will scon have to hold their 'dejeuner a la fourchette' will be. made of brick. It will rrn!t of a case made of the cellular brickware manufactured alter the same style us that of th water cooler and milk cooler, only that it will not need another pail inside it. unless to hold liquid, such as tea or coffee, it will have suitable 8i;d separate reeeptacles for meat, vegetables, pie, etc. If th inventor's statement may be relied upon, the contents will keep as hot up to no m, 0r even longer, as when they left tha stove at o'clock or 7 o'clock in th. mornine. when Pat and Pedro issued forth for their day's work. Of Interest to ilonnewive. "In addition to these articles Mrs. Romney has constructed out of the same products namely, clay, .sawdust, and asSesTos fi'oeT. a refrigerator for the household, a mi:k ret ri-zt raior. a ref rieeratinj closet or storeroom, a refrigerating cellar or chilling room for slauuhter-houe purpost's, a heat o in server or closet, in which food may be kept warm for fii indeiinite time for dilator .- mer.il ers of the boarding house or for late coiners at the restaurant, a warminsr closet for but er s pantries, a domestic water-tiltc r, warranted to prove a mystic labyrinth in which ths ramhlin? micrcbe is sure to .act lost, a foot-stove for carriages or ccmpartment cars " and a waur-l.lter and water-cooler combined. She has also invented a restaurant conveyor, both simple ar. 1 compound, for carryinV food from restaurants to outside customers, by means cf which th food is delivered as hot ?s it could be had if served in the rcsteur.int. The simpla one consists of a rack of scran iron, containing spaces for half a duzen basins, more or less, of setui-cire thir ierrn, arranged two on a shelf. The shelves ara arranged one alwe another and ar fastened together by longitudinal supports which also lock the basins in, when turned a little way rovnl after b ing put In place. The whole -iff air is then hi down ii.to a receptacle of cellular brickware with a cover ar.d a bi.il. !n the compound conveyor there is a series of simp' ones arranged in piceon hol s alon;;- the sides of a covered wagon for the use of restaurants, co-operative kitchens, etc. " 'The Woman's inventions company' has been chartered for the manufacture of Mrs. Koinnev's inventions; stock, !.': shares, Rij each.
