Country's Credit Threatened
, The Immediate danger confronting the
ipnvprninpnt Is a concerted attack on
the country'B credit. The public fenr
Ihnt the government enn be forced to
fttwpeml gold payments Increase dally.
This would be the crowning achieve
ment of the revolutionists, who
are natlsfled that with the . at
tending financial crash the whole
house would come tumbling down. The
chances of driving the government Into
bankruptcy they profess ,to believe
would be mnterlally Increased If the
confidence of the foreign holders of
Kusstan obligations wus undermined,
nnd the news that the French Inves
tors who hold four-flfthn "f Ilussla'H
immense foreign indebtedness were un
loading was received wllh Jubilation
by the revolutionist*. At the same time
It created n veritable panic on the
bourse. Imperial 4s falling to 74, 5b to
Pl l-2 and the government lotteries to
'245. Banking ami Industrial shares
went clown with a rush. Putlloff going
(from 'J3 to SB and iron shares like. Ko
lomo and Moscow, which a month ngo
were quoted nt 450, closing at 3fiO. The
pavings banks were subjected to a run
nnd nt the Btate bank a long line of
nervous men and women waited for
hours to exchange paper money for
ffold. The bank officials did not at
tempt to dissuade them and exchanged
piles of gold for bills as fast as the
latter were presented.
Roth the runs on the banks nnd de
mand for foreign exchange were nc
celerated by circulars which the strik
ers and revolutionaries are spreading
broadcast.
Fifty Million Withdrawn
At the ministry of finance It Is esti
mated that about $50,000,000 has been
thus fur withdrawn from the state
banks. The balance of gold In the
treasury and abroad now stands at
$586,500,000 and the outstanding paper
totals $553,500,000. leaving the govern
ment a margin of legally issuable paper
of about $45,000,000.
The government perfectly under
stands the purpose of the assault upon
Its credit. At the ministry of finance
the Associated Press was authoritative
ly Informed that the situation of the
government has not greatly changed,
financially or economically.
"All depends." continued the official,
"upon political developments. If the
government possessed thrice Its present
reserve It would not suffice to prevent
the present scare, which, like all habits,
must ,run Its course. But we have
ample resources to meet our obligations
and the present demands. It Is non
sense to talk of the government de
faulting the January coupons nnd of
'Its inability 'to take up I -c short term
§ treasury bonds sold to the Men
delHsohnK, which are due in February.
Much has been made of the possible
Inability to collect taxes In many prov-
Irces. As a matter of fact the entire
direct taxation in the cities and coun
try Is $67,500,000 nnd the tux nn indus
tries $33,500,000. If both. were altogether
lost It would be lops than one-tenth of
Russia's tutnl income." '
The only break in .the ranks of the
telegraphers is reported from Kazan,
middle Russia; Klsewhere all the gov
ernment's attempts to resume tele
graphic communication have been un
successful. In this city there was a
partial resumption of mall delivery by
means of volunteers, but it requires
two policemen or two soldiers to escort
every carrier. In the postofßce the of
ficials who can be spared are working
In other departments with- volunteers,
some of whom are of high rank. Prin
cess Olbensky, Princess of Huebin,
Countess Merlnoff and Countess Ozer
off are sorting letters in the mailing
room.
(At one mail station the strikers stole
a march on the military. The guard
of soldiers had gone to dinner, leaving
their titles stacked outside. The strikers
raided the station und hammered off

SAKHAROFF'S BRUTALITIES

Prussia, Dec. 7. — The news of the c.s
sassinattor. of Lieut. . Gen. SakharofT,
former minister of war, who was shot
in the governor's palace at Saratoff
December 5, had been preceded by the
most horrible stories of the manner in
which Sakharoft had been repressing
the agrarian disorders. He corraled
peasants with Cossacks and then had
them beaten with the soldiers' whips.
In so doing Sakharoff pursued the sys
tem adopted by Prince John Oboleosky,
former governor general of Finland,
In suppressing the agrarians in
the vicinity of Kharkoff several
years ago, when the prince
caused the peasants to be whipped by
relays of Cossacks and compelled them
in turn to beat their comrades.
The assassin of Sakharoff has not
been identified. When the woman who
committed the crime was arrested she
declared that she had executed a de

that for tho bulk of tho Russian Jews

Subjects for Discussion
In the Senate
(Continued from Pars Ons.)
000. proposed liy Mr. nonyngo of Colo
rndo.
Bond Proposition Opposed
A provision which would operntn to
reimburse the trensury for thn $10,000 -
000 already expended In the construc
tion of the cannl from the sale nt the
canal bonds wna proposed by Mr
OverMreet of Indlnnn. Vigorous op
pooltlon to this whs mmle by Mr. Wll
llumn of Mississippi, who declared dra*
tnatlcally: "Take this Btep, |f yo u
flare! The Democracy challenges you.
There In n. drop of water somewhero
which will overflow the cup. Whfit
excuse nre you to offer the American
people for borrowing money nt 2 per
rent whon you already havo nbundnnt
funds In the treasury and deposited
In national banks?"
Mr. Payne of New York followed also
in opposition to the nmondment. This
sum had already been paid and there
wns no need to put It back Into the
treasury.
"We are running, prrtty close," he
Mild. "Our rs-nlpts und expenditures
nro about squal. If this abundant
prosperity should continue to the end
ot tho fiscal year we may not have a
deficit. Hut no man or set or men will
ever bo able to work out the revenue
problem so as to make the receipts and
eipendlturea even."
A surplus, ho Kiilrl. was absolutely
necessary, notwithstanding the gentle
man from Mississippi, who had been
I'f.rklng Into that hole for a long tlmo,
but without attracting very much at
tenlcn from the American people.
Talks of Disaster
In arguing for tho necessity of main
taining a surplus in the treasury, Mr.
Payne referred to what he contended
was the "possible disaster of Demo
cratic rule," and added that "one of the
cycles of depression which Mr. Wil
liams had often argued about might
arrive."
"Then," Interrupted Mr. Williams, "I
understood that the $61,000,000 surplus
in the treasury over and above that
$75,000,000 declared necessary as a work-
Ing balance by treasury officials, and
$5,000,000 of which Is on deposit In na
tional banks, with interest, Is necessary
to guard against a recurrence of Demo
cratic rule or one of Mr. Williams'
cycles?"
The amendment wqb defeated.
An amendment striking out the bond
ing" provision of the bill was next
moved by Mr. Williams. The amend
ment was defeated — 107 to 152.
Mr. Williams offered an amendment
making it discretionary inßtead of man
datory for the secretary of the treasury
tc reimburse the treasury by the bond
sale for the amount carried In the bill.
This amendment was also lost— B9 to
131.
An amendment giving the secretary
of .war authority to fortify the canal at
each terminal was offered by Mr. Bur
gess of Texas.
The fortification amendment was lose.
Amendments requiring detailed state
ments of canal expenditures und esti
mates to bo furnished to congress at
the beginning of each regular session
were submitted by Mr. Tawney of Min
nesota, Mr. Fitzgerald of New York
and Mr. Mann of Illinois.
Mann Amendment Adopted
The Mann amendment prevailed. It
provided as follows:
"That the president shall annually
and at such other periods as may be
provided, either by law or by his order,
lequlre full and complete reports to be
rrade to him by the persons appointed
or employed by him In charge of the
government of said canal zone, ths
construction of said Panama canal and
the operation of said Panama railroad,
including an Itemized account of all
moneys received and expended, which
said reports shall be by the president
transmitted to congres. And any of
the persons appointed or employed by
the president in connection with the
Balfl government or the said work of
construction or operation shall give to
congress or to either house of congress
puch Information as may at nny time
be required, either by act of congress
or by the order of either house of con
gress, in relation to their respective
acts and doings, and the receipt and
expenditure of money. The president
shall annually cause to be made, by
tt:o persons appointed and employed by
him, In charge of the government of
paid canal zone, and the construction
o? said canal, estimates of expenditures
and appropriations in detail as far fes
practicable, which estlmutes shall bo
Bubinltted to. congress, and no money
shall be expended for any of the pur
poses named In this act except In ac
cordance with appropriations hereuftor
made by congress, except that the
moneys received in the ordinary coursfl

Panama railroad und tho property and
rights appertaining thereto, may by

fraying the expenses of such operation.
Including maintaJnance, without being
covered in the treasury of the United
States, and such moneys are hereby ap
propriated for such purpose and month
ly reports of Buch receipts and expendi
tures shall be made to the president by
the person or persons In charge."
The bill was then pasßed without op
position.
The house, at 8:35 p. m., adjourned
until Monday.

the president's recommendutlona for
the punishment of bribery In electiona;
with Senator Platt'b testimony before
the New York Investigating commit

whs couched in characteristic lan
muigo and attracted much attention*

A liirgo number of bills were Intro

Mr. Tlllmnn Palled up hl« resolution

reports of bank rxanilners show the
payment of rnmpntßn contribution*
by national hftnfcft hih! nddressed the.

commendation by tbo president In hIM
Annual niednnge of 1!>0l and IW> for
the enactment of n law for the protec

connection with elections. He quoted
with especial rmphnftls the president's
remarks concerning cnmpalgn contri
butions by corporations.
"Our chief executive hns taUen a
very progressive otanrl to secure purity
In elections." he sfild, nnd added:
"Kvery Rood Aniorlrmi will say 'well
• lone, 1 mid Inok for progress along that
llnp."
Hcfore. Mr. Tlllmnn had proceeded fur
Mr. (ialllngcT, who hntl yesterday oh-
Jected to the consideration of the reso
lution nt that time, salt] that he had
done so only for tho purpose of In
specting It; Ihnt ho had done, so, and
being entirely hm I lulled ns to Its pro
priety, would support tho resolution.
Objects to Supporting McCurdys
Continuing, Mr. Tlllman Bald
"I am the holder of a email policy
In tho New York Mutual, and I don't
like to have my dividends cut down
In order to give Mr. McCurdy $IGO,OOO
and his sisters, bis cousins and his
mints $75,000 each."
He expressed doubt na to the rlsht
of thn federal authorities to take con
trol of the Insurance companies and
Mr. Hale Interrupted to say that he
BKieerl with Mr. Tlllman on that point.
He nald further thnt thn recommend
ation providing for such a provision
Wttß nnt properly considered, and he
did not consider It binding.
Mr. Bailey asked whether the Insur
ance company contributions to the Re
publican national committee hud been
returned to the donors.
"I understood," replied Mr. Tfllmnn,
"that the president was going to have
Mr. Cortelyou return them, but I don't
know whether he has done so. I know
that I have not got my share."
Mr. Spooner — "In yours a life pol
icy?"
Mr. Tlllmnn— "lt is."
Mr. Spooner — "Then it is not yet time
to realize on It."
Mr. Tlllman replied that It was divi
dends, and not the policy Itself ho
wanted paid.
"These," ho said, "were pitifully
small, while Mr. McCurdy "has been
getting fat without doing anything."
Mr. Bailey said he had not supposed
that the president would make a sec
end recommendation on the subject of
punishing campaign contributors until
the money had been returned.'
Results Not Yet Apparent
"Ah, Mr. President," responded Mr.
Tillman, "all the Turveydrops and
Pecksniffs are not dead yet, although
I would not for a moment be under
stood as comparing our occupant of the
White House with' those characters.
What we want is results and those do
not Beem to have been procured so
far."
Quoting the testimony of Senator
Platt before the New York committee,
Mr. Tlllman congratulated Senator
Platt upon his straightforwardness.
"There was no dodging," he said, "and
I do not believe that a dollar of the
money ever stuck to his lingers." He
added his conviction, however, that tho
contributions had had the effect of
controlling the Mew York legislature
in the Interest of the insurance com
panies.
Mr. Tillman quoted the charges made
by Judge Parker In the last campaign,
connecting the Republican campaign
contributions with the fact that Chair
man Cortelyou . had recently retired
from the office of secretary of the de
partment of commerce and labor.
He also quoted the president's re
ply, which he said was "red hot," and
added that not a dollar had been
used to elect the president. Notwith
standing this fact, he said, It had been
shown that $1,900,000 had been contrib
uted for that purpose; that Is, if the
newspaper men may be believed, and
he added: "They are about as reliable
ns any other class. They will lie some
times, as we do, and occasionally they
get orders that such and such a man
shall be flyblown. They then proceed
to plant the microbes, but upon the
whole, they may be depended on."
He also made reference to the charge
that large expenditures had been made
by the Democrats in the Cleveland
campaign, saying It would have been
fortunate for the Democratic party if
Mr. Cleveland had never been elected.
He closed with an appeal for a thor
ough investigation, saying such a
course was necessary to restore the
confidence of the public.
' The resolution was adopted without
opposition.
Tho senate at 2:03 p. m. went into
executive session and at 2:18 p. in.
adjourned until Monday.
