LOS ANGELES: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26, 1893.
FROM WASHINGTON.
An Extra Session of Congress
Called.
The Annexation of Hawaii Be
comes Less Probable.
The Gold Reserve to Be Maintained
by Boudß. #
Morgan, B-rexel & Co. Beady to Pur
chase the Bonds—Political
Gossip from the Nation's
Capital.
By tbe Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 25.—The president
haß ißiued a proclamation canvening an
extra session of the senate March 4th.
The supposed purpose is to make sure
of action on the Hawaiian treaty. Ac
tion was probably taken at the instance
of, or with the consent of, President
elect Cleveland.
THE PROCLAMATION.
I, Benjamin Harrison, president of
the United States, do hereby proclaim
and declare that extraordinary occasion
requires the senate of the United States
to convene at the capital, In the city of
Washington, on the 4th of March next,
at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons
who shall at that time be entitled to
act aa members of that body are hereby
required to take notice.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 26. —The legislative
appropriation bill waa taken up after
being amended, but no important par
ticular passed. Mr. Dawes moved the
senate to iusiet on its amendments and
ask a conference. The motion wae
agreed to, and confereea on the part of
the senate appointed. Sherman moved
to proceed to executive business. Gor
man thought the senate should rather
go on with it« legislative work, and he
called for the yeas and naya on Sher
man's motion. Tbe motion was defeat
ed —yeas, 21; nayß, 20.
After paying a tribute to the memory
of the late Representative Spinola of
New York, the senate adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, Feb. 25. —A fight, which
may next week prove to be a eerioua
one, was inaugurated in the house today.
It was over the sundry civil appropria
tion, which containß the Sherman bond
amendment. There are in all 207 amend
nentß to the bill. Holman desired that
all except the Sherman amendment,
upon which there ia to be debate, be
-">n-concurred in.
Mr. Bland, as the leader of the oppo
sition to the Sherman amendment,
objected, unleaa it be agreed that the
amendment should be after debate also
non-concurred in. This suggestion of
Bland's raised tbe antagonism of Coch
ran, and no agreement was arrived at.
The silver men then resorted to filibus
tering tactics, which were effectual, and
after a speech the Bland bill went over
without action.
After some farther debate the commit
tee rose, and, public bußinesß having
been suspended, the house proceeded to
pay a tribute of respect to the memory
of the late Senator John Barbour of
Virginia, and then adjourned.
KNOCKED OUT.
The Hawaiian Treaty Dead for the'Tlme
Being.
Washington, Feb. 25. —The Hawaiian
treaty is thought to be dead for this ses
sion. Thia is reluctantly conceded even
by friends. The action of the senate to
day in refusing to go into executive ses
sion, thaugh the action doubtless had
some reference to the Hanchette circuit
judge nomination, is aloo accepted as a
conclusive indication that the treaty
would be shelved for the balance of the
session. The treaty matter can of course
be taken up in the extra session which
will convene immediately after the
present congress dies, but unless some
marked change occurs there is believed
to be no prospect of action upon it dur
ing the life of tne present administra
tion. Possibly the knowledge of its dis
position on the part of tbe Benate has
some reflex influence on the action of
tbe house.
There wae to have been a meeting of
the waye and meana committee of the
hotiße today to consider the Springer
resolution, hut it did not take place.
One of the Republican committeemen
eaid hie colleagues united against the
resolution. He concluded the resolution
would be permitted to fall to the ground.
The Democratic members of the com
mittee are still examining the subject,
but it does not seem likely that the
resolution will be pushed.
THE GOLD RESERVE.
Bonds All Beady for Issue nod a Pur-
Chaser Found.
Washington, Feb. 25. —Secretary of
the Treasury Foster was before the ways
and means committee of the house this
morning, explaining the condition of tbe
treasury. He eaid there was no occaßiau
for fear that the treasury would be bank
rupted, but admitted that the situation
demanded serious consideration. He
believed the available cash In the treas
ury at the close of the fiscal year would
be only $17,000,000 instead of $20,000,
--000, aa he had eatimated in hia report,
becauee he had not taken into consid
eration tbe payment of the Choctaw
claim of $3,000,000.
On the present basis of revenue ho ea
timated that there would be a deficit in
the treasury at the end of the fiscal year
of 1894.
He believed $50,000,000 more revenue
should be raised, but did not say wheth
er by taxation or by the issue of bonds.
He also thoueht the gold reserve should
be raised to $125,000,0G0.
BONDS READY FOR ISSUE.
Washington, Feb. 26.—1t is stated on
reliable authority that Secretary of the
Treasury Foster has bonds ready for im
mediate issue, and tbat he has con
tracted with Drexel, Morgan & Co. to
take (25,000,000 of them and pay for
them in gold whenever it is necessary to
keep the gold reserve intact.
This action ia understood to bave been
taken after consultation incoming Treas
urer Carlisle.

The Hawaiian Provisional Government
Orders Supplies.
Columbus, 0., Feb, 25.—A firm in this
city has received an order from tbe pro
visional government of Hawaii for mili
tary clothing in all respects like that of
fatigue uniforms in the United Stateß
army, to be shipped by steamer from
San Francisco March 14th, for the use
of tbe national quern. The order is
eigned by John H. Soper, colonel com
manding N. G. H. The army consists of
494 men.
A dark blue silk battalion nag was alao
ordered, similar in size to the United
States regimental flag, bnt with the coat
of anna of Hawaii on a blue abield in
center, surmounted by one star. In the
center of this shield is another shield
with three white and four white vertical
stripes, bearing aome resemblance tothe
United States shield. Over thia shield
ia the word "Hawaii" and the date of
the revolution, January 17, 1893.

Allen Manvel.

tbe late Allen Manvel, president of the
Santa Fe, took place from the white
parlor of Hotel del Coronado to Mount
Hope cemetery at 2 p. m. today.

ing A. Spear, Santa Fe director; Bryant
Howard of this city, E. S. Babcock of
Coronado, and five railroad men. A lot

man's grave, as Mrs. Manvel prefers to

Beautiful tributes of ferns, violetß and
roaes were sent by friende.
An Address to Irishmen..
New York, Feb. 25.—The National
League of America tonight issued an
address to Irishman. It was eigned by
tbe president, secretary and treasurer.
It ia in part as followB:
Irishmen are inclined to congratulate
themselves on the seeming beginning of
an era of liberty, peace and prosperity
for Ireland. Home rule for Ireland un
doubtedly sounds well, but Irishmen
should ponder before arriving at con
clusions and not allow mere sound to sot
their sympathies above their reason.
This measure cannot be accepted as a
full and complete settlement of the
claims of the people, and we have no
hesitation in declaring that, instead of
a of a blessing, it would prove a curae to
our country. It ia absolutely unworthy
of the traditiona and wanta of the
people.
Cleveland's Gtionts.
Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 25.—Hon.
John G. Carlisle arrived from Washing
ton today. He was met at the station
by Mrs. Cleveland and driven to the

until 3 o'clock. Then Judge Gresham
was driven to the Btation by Mrs.
Cleveland, and Cleveland and Carlisle

guests over Sunday.

demy at Cbepultepec. The distin
guished party was called upon by your

low interview:
"I am on my way to Washington to

ter to the United States. I have baen
succeeded in Mexico by Hon. Jobb Lima
tour."
"There is no truth in the report that
the object ol our visit to Washington is
to negotiate a new loan for the Mexican
government, none whatever. Mexico is
not attempting to negotiate a new loan
with any country."

A Fatal Family Ojnarrel.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 25.—Miss Julia
Force, sister of a leading shoe merchant
of this city, this afternoon shot and
killed her two sisters. The shooting
was the result of a quarrel. They all
moved in the highest social circles ol

insane. She has been considered irres
ponsible at times, and frequently threat
ened to kill members of her family. To

sent the servants out on errands, and
then, going to tbe room where her sis
ter Florence was sick in bed, placed a
pistol at her right temple aud shot her
dead. Then going to the kitchen, where
the other sister was, she shot her in the
same manner. None of the neighbors
heard tbe shots. Miss Force calmly
locked the doors and went to the polics
station. The bodies of the women were
found by a brother, to whom she sent a
message to the effect that her sister
Florence was worse. In response he
went home to find the bodies of his dead
sisters.

Valparaiso, Feb. 25. — There ia •
probability of a temporary settlement ol
the troubles in Rio Grande do Sul,

great vigor. Santa Ana is now in tha
hands of Tavars. Telegraph lines art
cut, aud it ie impossible to get nartica*
lira oi the capture of the city. Federali
