PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

Band* Most B» Issued to Moot the Treasury's Critical Condition. Washisgtoh, Jan. 17.—Secretary Car*' lisle has addressed a letter to Senator Voorhees, the chairman of the finance committee of the senate, pointing ont the reduced state of the treasury and especially of the gold reserve, and urging a prompt change of the existing law regarding the issue of bonds to meet the emergency. He takes this action with the sanction of the president His letter is as follows: “In compliance with your verbal request I have the honor to submit for the consideration of the ilnanclal committee of the senate state, ments showing the actual condition of the treasury on the 12th day of the present month and an estimate of the receipts and expenditures during the remainder of this month and the month of February. It will be seen from the statement that there is an urgent necessity for such immediate action as will replenish the coin reserve and enable this' department to continue the payment of public expenses and discharge the obligations of the government to pensioners and other lawful creditors.

“When my annual report was prepared it was estimated that the expenses during the current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount of about 828,000,000, and I asked congress for authority to issue and sell bonds or other forms of obligations to an amount not exceeding 250,000,000, bearing a low rate of interest and having a reasonably short time to run, to enable the secretary of the treasury to supply such deficiencies as might occur in the revenues “Theestimate then made was based upon the assumption that the worst effects of our financial disturbances had already been realized, and there would be a substantial increase in the revenues for the remainder of the year. While jt was not believed that the deficiency then existing would be supplied by increased revenues in the future, it was hoped that no additional deficiency would occur, but the receipts and expenditures during the month of December and up to the 12th day of the present month show that the estimate of a deficiency o' 128,000,000 at the close of the year was much too low. The actual receipts and expenditures from July 1 to January 1 have been: Receipts. (162,080,384.05: expenditures, 1205,6t3,428.99, showing a deficit of *43,558,044.94. “If the same average monthly deficiencies should continue the total difference between the receipts and expenditures on Juhe 30 next will be *78,167,542. According to the best estimate that can be made, the total receipts during the present month and the month of February will be *41,900,000 and the total expenditures will te (60,300,000, showing a deficit during the two months of (18,400,000; but this does not include any payments on account of the sugar bounty, claims for which to the amount of nearly 15,000,000 have already been presented and are now under investigation in thTdepartment. • “With the permission of the committee I have prepared and presented for Its consideration a bill which, if promptly passed, would, in my opinion, meet all the requirements of the situation by providing the necessary means for defraying the public expenses and replenishing the coin reserve to such an extent as to assure the maintenance of the parity of all forms of United States currency. “While this proposed measure of relief has not yet been disposed of or considered by the committee the great differences of opinion which are known to exist in both branches of congress concerning the propriety of granting additional or amended authority to issue bonds in any form or for any purpose render it doubtful whether new legislation upon the subject can be secured in time to provide the means which are imperatively demanded in order to preserve the credit and honor of the government. “Authority to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of maintaining specie payments was expressly conferred upon the secretary of the treasury by the act of January 14, 1875, but it has not been exercised since 1879, and on account of the high rate of interest provided for and the length of time such bonds would have to run I have not been satisfied that such an emergency has heretofore existed as would clearly justify their issue. "But the necessity for relief at this time is so urgent and the prospect of material improvement in the financial condition of the government is so problematical that unless authority to issue and sell shorter bonds or other obligations bearing a lower rate of interest than that specified in the existing law is granted by congress at a very early day I shall feel constrained by a sense of public duty to exercise the power already conferred to the extent, at least, of providing an adequate coin reserve. If this action should be taken congress ought, nevertheless, to provide promptly for the deficie&j'y in the revenues during the current fiscal year, and I will from time to time advise your committee of the condition of the treasury in order that this subject may receive due consideration. I have the honor to be, yours, very respectfully. “J. G. Carlisle, Secretary.” The bill, which is referred to in the foregoing letter, is entitled: “An act to amend section 3 ot 'An act to provide for resumption of specie payments,’ approvod January 14, 1815,” It provides for the amendment of sections so that in lieu of the descriptions of bonds therein authorized, the secretary of the treasury is authorized to issue from time to tithe as he may deem necessary, and in such form as he may prescribe, coupon or registered bohds of the United States in denominations of (-J5 and multiples thereof, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after two years from date, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per cent, per annum, payable quarterly in coin, and to sell the same at not less than par in coin, the proceeds of such bonds to be herd and used to maintain the parity of all forms of money coined or issued by the United States, but the secretary of the treasury is authorized to use from time to time such part of such proceeds as may be necessary to supply df ficiencies in the public revenues during the fiscal year 1894.

INTO A CREEK.

A Locomotive Plunges Through a bridge —Seven Lives Lost. San Rafael, Cal., Jan. 17.— As engine No. 6 of the North Pacific Coast railroad was crossing Austin creek at 7 o’clock Sunday evening the bridge gave way and the engine rolled into the stream below, a distance of 40 feet, . drowning seven men. The men were on their way to a washout along the road and were going at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred. The only man saved was Conductor Brown, who jumped. The names of the drowned are Hart, Sabine, Collister, Briggs, Rice, Bremrner and Gould. Only two bodies have been found. The creek has reached the highest mark known in years and in consequence the bodies of the remaining five undoubtedly will be carried out to sea.

SHOULD NOT WAIT.

»«««ti Financier* Think Carlisle Should at Once Issue Bonds. Washihgtox, Jan. IK.—A meeting ol the senate finance com ip it tee was held Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of considering Secretary Carlisle’s letter and bond bilL After the conclusion of the meeting Senator Voorhees, as chairman of the committee, handed to an Associated Press reporter the statement given below. In making it he said he did not assume to represent the views of the entire committee, and yet he knew of no opposition in the committee to the opinions expressed. He submitted his statement to the full committee before giving it to the public. It is as follows: “The embarrassed condition of the treasury and the necessity for prompt action for its relief are fully realized. There is not the slightest ground, however, for apprehension that public credit will suf. fer or be endangered, for the reason that ample authority already exists by law for the secretary of the treasury to strengthen his coin reserve to any extent required and to meet every demand that can be legitimate. The power of the secretary for the issue of bonds needs nothing beyond what is given by the act of January 14, 1875 i The only desirable object to be attained by new legislation at this time on that subjeot is to ma';e a shorter time oond with a lower rate of Interest, and yet the secretary feels assured that he can negotiate bonds issued under the act of 1875, running only ten years on practically a 3-per cent basis. "It seems, therefore, that it will be wiser, safer and better for the financial and business interests of the country to rely upon existing laws with which to meet the present emergency rather than encounter the delays and uncertainties always incident to protracted discussion in the two houses of congress. This view of the condition ot the treasury admits of but little if auv delay and of no uncertainty at all in the final action to be taken. It would be trifling with a very grave affair to pretend that new legislation concerning the issue of bonds can be accomplished at this time and in the midst of present elements and parties in public life with elaborate, extensive and praotioally indefinite debate. It is also Obvious to everyone that the consideration and discussion of the tariff now going on in congress will render any financial legislation at this time far more difficult and complicated than it mfight be under other and different circumstances. “The interest of the committee will by no means be abated frem this time forward. The fact that much remains to be done is fully recognized. Whatever deficiency in the revenues may exist during the current fiscal year will be promptly provided for by appropriate and efficient legislation at the earliest moment.” The senate finance committee authorSenator Voorhees to introduce the Carlisle billin the senate and also to present the letter from the secretary of the treasury for the consideration of that body, which was done.

LIVES CRUSHED OUT.

Meager Details of a Disastrous Collision Down South. Chester Court House;, S. C., Jan. 18. —The limited train No. 35, from New York to Florida, on the Richmond & Danville, was run into by a Georgia, Carolina & Northern train at the crossing here at 1 o’clock this morning. Twenty-five people were either killed or injured. The sleeper was full of people and was struck in the center and crushed. Not a person escaped unhurt. The day coaches were turned upside down on the side of the track. They were nearly full of passengers and few on board escaped some injury. The passengers on the sleeper comprised chiefly prominent people of Washington and New York. Those in the day coaches were persons who, making a short trip, all had retired before midnight and when the crash came few except the trainmen were awake. There was not a moment’s warning and almost in an instant the monotonous rumble of the train’s wheels was succeeded by the cries of the stricken passengers. Those in the sleeper bore the brunt of the disaster, and to them all attentions were immediately given. The car presented a ghastly specta cle. Pressed against the broken fragments of the car were almost shapeless masses with life and identity crushed out almost simultaneously. Scattered about were others in whom life still remained, hut whose piteous cries were as hard to endure as their companions who were dead. For a minute the terror of the scene, exaggerated if that be possible by tha darkness and the hissing of from the engine, baffled the courage of the few who were able to render any aid. They soon recovered their self-possession enough to turn to the practical work before them and the work of rescue began. There was an awful plenty of material for stretchers, and the wounded who could be reached were quickly placed on the backs of car seated and placed beside the ’ttfrcck until they could be removed to a more suitable place. Others of the wounded were so hemmed in by the debris that it required considerable time to free them from their imprisonment. They, too, were finally got out and placed on the hastily improvised cots.
