The Atlantic & Pacific express on the Southern Pacific railroad, due in San Francisco at 8:45 p. m., was Wrecked, on the 17th, near Towles, Cal. *' A Pullman and a tourist car rolled down ton embankment, injuring several passengers, but none fatally. The Cuban .insurgents, in spite of the reports of their defeats have crossed the military lines between the city of 8anta Clara and Cinefugos, the headquarters of Gen.

As soon as the reading of the journal in the house of representatives was concluded, on the 18th, a bill appropriating $100,000 to pay the expenses of the Venezuelan commission suggest- • ed by the president in his message, was offered by Mr. Hitt (rep., 111.) and unanimously passed. Georoe Fremont, the leader of the car burglars recently arrested in Buffalo, N. Y., confessed, on the 19th, that for nearly a year the^ gang had been robbing the railroads on an average for each month of goods worth SI2,000. The property was sold to second-hand dealers, one of whom has confessed to buying plunder worth S13,000. Whittier’s birthday anniversary was observed at Amesbury, Mass., on the 17th, by the public schools, in each of which exercises appropriate to the occasion were held.

Information comes from Secretary Herbert's office that he has interceded, through the State department, with the authorities of Colombia, South America, in the interest of his old friend, Judge Frank C. Randolph, now a prisoner there, and has received assurances that he will be accorded fair treatment at his approaching trial.

The Cologne Gazette, semi-official organ of the German government, discussing President Cleveland's message to congress,- says: “Against pretensions of this kind, all the European states will stand by England * * * Great Britain has the fullest moral and * material right to persist defiantly in a conflict so passionately instituted.” Gov. Rice of Michigan said, on the 18th: “While a dignified and just enforcement of the Monroe doctrine is to be desired ’ and commended, I am not prepared to say that it should be enforced to the limit. The question now at issue is one which the great powers can be depended upon to decide upon its merits without resorting to arms.” It was reported, on the 18th, that every coal mine in the Indian territory had been closed by strikers numbering over five thousand men. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Co. had ordered that no coal be shipped out, and that stocks on hand be held for railroad use. This, it was said, would cause a fuel famine throughout northern and central Texas. * The Manchester Guardian claims to have knowledge that the British foreign office will placidly proceed without regard to President' Cleveland's message, and the demand for indemnity for the arrest of members of the British colonial police will be steadily pressed upon Venezuela and, if necessary, enforced by the admiral commanding the West India station. The Glasgow Citizen publishes a statement to the effect that Henderson, the ship-builder, has received an order to build a racing yacht that will be of larger dimensions than Valkyrie III. It is stated that the craft will be designed by Watson, will carry 20,000 feet of canvass and will take part in the international races next season. The owner's name is not divulged. Just as the epidemic of yellow fever that had been so awfully fatal among the Spanish troops in Cuba was subsiding, a report from Havana, on the 17th, said a flew and even more terrible scourge had appeared in the form of variola nigra, or black smallpox, imported from Africa on the Spanish troopships lately arriving with reinforcements. About ninety per cent, of the cases so far reported have proved fatal. A special from Washington, on the 19th, said President Cleveland and Secretary Olney were surprised at the expressions of Ambassador Bayard at the Actors’ club dinner, in Boston, England, on the 18th, as well as at his remarkable statement apparently discrediting the sincerity and importance of the president’s message. The ambassador's recall was hinted at, as was the fact that Mr. Bayard would probably take up his residence in England and seek to become a member of parliament.

CURRENT TOPICS. THE HEWS IN BRIEF. LIV. CONGRESS. (First Session.) Ill the senate, on the 16th. Mr. Stewart (pop..

A concurrent resolution was passed providing for a holiday recess from December 30 to January 3. In the senate, on the lOth.an informal discussion of the house bill appropriating |10);000 for the expenses of the proposed Venezuelan . commission was marked by a unanimity of sentiment in favor of the position taken by the president in his recent message, while singularly free from passion or excitement. Senutors Morgan (dem., Ala.) and Voorhees (dem., Ind.) favored immediate action, but the majority of the speeches advocated reference to the committee on foreign relations. The debate was by consent, as there was really no question before the senate, and no action was taken....The house was not in session on the 19th.

PRESIDENT'S APPEAL V* th* UrUlatlre Branch of thniGorna* Moot For Aid to the Country** FlaancM —Ho Atk> Coo(m« to Footpoao It* Holiday Adjournment Until K*-medial Ujtalntlon 1* Ennc ted—The Cana* of t he CrUU. Washington, Dec. 21.—The Senate, at 4:30 p. m., reopened its doors and the following1 special message was received from the president on the subject of bonds: - To the Congress: In my last Annual message the evils of our present financial system were plainly pointed out. and the causes and measures of the depletion of government gold were explained. It was therein stated that after all the efforts that had been made by the executive branch of the government to protect our gold reserve by the issuance of “bonds amounting to more than fl«:.(vO.00p. such re* serve then amounted to little more than STD.OOo.OOO. that about fP'.OOO.OtX) had bo-'a withdrawn from the reserve during the month previous to the date of that m- ssa e, and quite large withdrawals for shipment in the future were predicted. The Contingency then feared has reached us and the withdrawals of gold since the communication referred to and c*Aers that appear inevitable, threaten such a depletion in our government gold reserve as btings us face to face with the necessity of further action for its protection. This condition i> intensified by the prevalence in certain quarters ti s adden and unusual apprehension and timidity in business circles. We are in the midst of another season of perplexity caused by our dangerous and fatuous financial operations. These may be expected to recur with certainty as long as there is no amendment to our tinancial system. If in this particualr instance out predicament is at ali influenced by a recent insistence upon the position we should occupy in our relations to certaip questions concerning our foreign policy, this lurnishes a signal and impressive warning that even the patriotic sentiment of our people is not an adequate substitute for a sound financial policy. Of course there can be no doubt in any thoughtful mind as to the solvency of our nation. nor can there be any just appreheusion that the American people will be satisfied with less than an honest payment of our public obligations in the recognized money of the world. We should not overlook the fact, however. that arousecl fear Is unreasoning and must be taken into account in all efforts to avert public loss and the sacrifice of our people's interests. The real and sensible cure for our recurring troubles can only be affected by a complete change in our financial scheme. Pending that the executive branch of the government will net relax its efforts nor abandon its determination to use every meaus within its reach to maintain nefore the world American credit, nor will there be any hesitation in exhibiting its confidence in the resources of our country and the constant patriotism of our people. In view, however, of the peculiar situation now onfronting us. I have ventured to herein express the earnest hope that the congress in default of the inauguration of a better system of finance will not take a rece<s from its labors before it has by legislative enactment or declaration done something not only to remind those apprehensive among our people that the resources of this government and a scrupulous regard for honest dealing afford a sure guarantee of unquestioned safety and soundness, but to reassure the world that wi h these factors and the patriotism of ourettitens the ability and determination of our nation to meet in any circumstances every obligation it incurs do not admit of question. 1 ask at the hands of the congress such prompt aid as it alone has the power to give to prevent, in a time of fear and apprehension, any sacrifice of the peoples*s interests and the .public funds or the impairment o* our public credit in an effort by executive action to relieve the dangers of the present emergency. uaoYKB- Cleveland.

ILL-ADVISED AND UNNECESSARY The President Severely Criticised for Ills Latest Message to Congress. Washington. Dec. 21.—'I ho special message of the, president, which reached the capitol yes tel lay afternoon, was received with widespread astonishment on all sides. Up to midnight few could be found who cared to express an opinion for j/ublication either upon its merits or as to the course which congress would probably pursue. Privately ' republican members of the house severely criticised the preside! t. They contended that the message was ill-advised and unnecessary: that its effect would be to add to the gravity of the situation, and that congress is in no position at the present time to afford the relief desired. Leading republicans say that no measure satisfactory to them can either pass the senate or receive the president's sanction. On the other hand: the house, they assert, will not agree to any measure looking to the retirement of the greenbacks and the substitution therefor of gold interest-bearing bonds. Two things, however, are considered as certain. One is that congress will not adjourn to-day, as was expected, and secondly, that the announcement of the committees will be made shortly after the house meets. IT ISN’T WAR, But the Effect of the Panic on Stocks that is Feared. London, Dec. 21.—The stock exchange market closed very unsettled, in regard to the panic in American railroad stocks, the Pall Mall Gazette says: It isn’t war that is feared, but a premium on gold if the American shipments continue.” The Westminster Gazette says: “Not only are investors in railroad stocks selling, but large speculations for a fall are being entered into. It is not that war is expected, but the transactions are being made through fear that negotiations between the United States and Great liritain will be protracted, at the same time the operators are bearing in mind the currency position in the United States, and have no desire to hold railroads.” Call for Special Meeting Withdrawn. New York, Dec. 21 —Secretary Wilson states that the call for the special meeting of the chamber of commerce j to take adverse action on President Cleveland's message bn the Venezuelan question has been withdrawn. Failure of a Live Stock Insurance Com. pany.
