revenue to meet the expenditures of the
Government and should lower the rate of
interest on bonds and open the books for
their subscription to the people of the
United States.
Similar support to the bill was given by
Btewart (R.) of New Jersey. McLaren (D.)
of South Carolina said he should oppose
the bill, because it would not only increase
the burdens of the treasury, but legalize a
series of improper and unfounded assump
tions by the Secretary of the Treasury,
and for the further reason that he believed
rather in restricting than extending the
discretionary forms of the Treasury De
partment.
All sufficient relief could be afforded, he
said, if the Secretary would obey the law
and establish an American system of
finance, treating all obligations oi the
Government alike and in accordance with
their plain terms.
Cannon (R.) of Illinois«aid the resump
tion act of 1875 was a Republican measure
passed in time of peace authorizing the
issue of bonus. Under that law Secretary
Sherman sold $96,000,000 oi bonds and se
cured the gold with which to resume specie
payment? in IST9. From that time until
1893, when Cleveland came in the second
time, there was no necessity for our issue
of bonds. There was never an hour in
in that period when the revenues were not
Btifl* ient to meet the expenditures. In
tbattim? the interest-bearing ueb: was de-
creased $1,200,000 and the annual interest
charge reduced from $53,500,000 to $23,
--000,000.
Ever s ; nee the Democratic administra
tion tame into power there had been <ie
ficiency, dist'.-c-Fs, illness, poverty and
. Cleveland came to Congress a:;d
asked relief. The Republican Housa, the
oniy Republican branch of the Govern
ment in existence to-day, practically for
got its personal interests and desires and
re; ponded to the appeal by the measures
reported from the Committee on Ways
and Means.
'What are you Democrats doing?' con
tinued Cannon. ''You offer nothing, and
you offered nothing in the last Congress.
The Republican House, being the doctors,
proposes a remedy which, in their opinion,
will reach the root of the disease. You
Democrat? do nothing but criticize and
object. God Almighty never made such a
set of men, so ready to tear down and
criticize, without the power to build up."
(Laughter.) .
The proposition to lower the rate of in
terest, Cannon said, the Democrats could
have had at the last session, but they
voted solidly against it. "And you will
vote against it to-day, you free-silver
coinage, 16-to-l Democrats, because you
want to impair the value of currency;
and you cuckoo Democrats because the
President has sent down his orders for you
to vote against it. If the Senate and
President shall pass this bill well and
good; if they shall not the House of
Representatives will have done what it
believes to be the best thing to restore the
credit of the country."
Bartleu (D.) of New York opposed the
bill, he said, because, in his opinion, it
would tend to spread still further distrust,
instead of confidence, in the financial sys
tem of the country.
"I have listened to this debate," said
Tawney (R.) of Minnesota, beginning his
remarks in support of the bill, "with some
interest and- astonishment. Before pro
ceeding to discuss the proposition of the
bill, I desire to state a few fai ts which pre
ceded the presentation of this bill to the
House by the Committee on Ways and
Cleans."
Tawney read from the President's mes-
Bage, requesting Congress to do something
to sustain the credit of the Government.
It was well understood by all, including
the President, that a gold bond bill could
not by any possibility be passed through
this House or through the other branch of
Congress. And yet now it appeared that
the administration was of the opinion that
a bill to sell gold bonds is the only possi
ble form of relief.
"Why?'' asked Tawney. -"Because they
hHve already arranged to sell another issue
of $100,000,000 of bonds to a syndicate who
want that form of obligation."
Tawney said the plan of relief proposed
was in line with what had been advocated
by the Republicans in the Fifty-third Con
gress, the support of which met the uni
versal approval of the Republican party.
As to tne ability of the people to take the
bonds provided for in the bill, Tawney
read from a letter received by him to-day
from a constituent living in a small village,
who said he could sell $uOOU of them in a
week and get gold for them.
Bailey (D.) of Texas declared that the
coinage of bullion in the treasury was the
wisest aud best solution of the situation.
Connolly of Illinois announced that he
did not like the bill, but argued that if the
Republicans had prepared a bill making
gold, silver and paper dollars equal to
each other, the other side would still op
pose it. The greenback was consecrated,
he said, by the blood of the country, and
he created considerable laughter by his
assertion that it was line the man who
went from Jerusalem to Jericho— it had
fallen among thieves. He wanted the
greenback to maintain its integrity among
the moneys of the world. For this reason
he would vote fox the bill, although he d\d
not like it.
Payne (R.) of New York insisted that
the fear that this bill would tie up the
greenbacks was groundless. If the Secre
tary of the Treasury could tie them up
under this bill, he could under the existing
law.
Other speeches were made by: Hopkins
(R.)of Illinois, f.urton (R.) of Missouri,
Nash (lc.) of Illinois and Russell (R.) of
Connecticut.
Closing the debate in opposition to the
bill, Crisp (D.) of Georgia said the Repub
licans could not urge the passage of the
purely political proposition and at the
same time claim that it was a response to
the President, which was the administra
tion, to &ell gold bonds. They were in
favor of it or they were not, and they
ought to deal fairly and frankly with the
President and the people.
Boutelie — Is the gentleman from
Georgia in favor of it?
Crisp — I am not.
The Democrats, he said, were united in
their opposition and united" on principle.
They beiieved there was no necessity for
the issue of bonds.
If the Republicans believed that bonds
were payable in gold, they ought to make
them bear on their face thaf fact The
Republican proposition was purely a po
litical one, Crisp said. The Becretary of
the Treasury had informed the House that
a coin bond could not be sold at this time.
The object of the Republicans, he insisted,
was, while pretending to respond to the
request of the President, they were pre
paring for a condition of the treasury dif
ferent from that which the Executive had
asked.
Dalzell (R.) of Pennsylvania closed the
debate on the bill in favor of its passage.
He said that if the legislation it proposed
had been on the statute-book, it would
have saved to the people in the matter of
interest upon bonds issued by the present
administration alone over one hundred
millions of dollars. He reviewed the Dro-
Visions of the bill, and asked what was the
objection to the relief proposed. What
was the President doing ? By all the force
and power of the executive position decry
ing the legislation proposed. What is the
Secretary of tlie Treasury doing? By au
thorizing interviews in the morning papers
denouncing the bill as it is proposed.
"I am surprised and amazed, Mr.
Speaker," said Dalzell, "and I speak with
a deep sense of responsibility, that a gentle
man who has been a member of this
House, a member oi the other branch of
Congress and a Cabinet officer, should
have so little regard for the proprieties
and decencies of public life."
The administration, continued Dalzeil,
opposed the bill because it wanted nothing
but gold bonds and to deal with foreign
syndicates. If he had stated the truth
and the facts were as he said. Dalzell
asked why any Republican should play
into the hands of a Democratic adminis
tration.
"I appeal," he impressively said in con
clusion, "to my fellow Republicans to
think long and earnestly before they join
the Democratic forces on the other side of
the aisle. The division is not for this time
merely."
In accordance with the provisions of the
order of debate, Johnson (R.) of Califor
nia, at 3 o'clock, demanded a division on
the question, and the vote was taken on the
tirst section of the Dill.
It resulted— Ayes 170, noes 136. The an
nouncement wes received with applause.
There was no division upon the second
section of the bill and it was declared
adopted, and the bill passed at 3:25.

Hitt (R.) of Illinois, chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, reported
and the House agreed to the resolutions
calling upon the President for the corre
spondence upon the Waller case; the case
of th# American steamer Henry Crosby,
fired upon by San Domingo troops
December 10, 1893, and the matter of the
Cuban insurrection; and in regard to
the reported Boston (Eng.) and Edinburgh
speeches of Emba^sador Bayard, whether
or not the President knows that such
speeches were made, and if so, whether any
action has been taken in regard thereto.
Dingley, chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, stated that a general un
derstanding had been reached by which no
business would be transacted next week, so
that members who so desired could spend
New Year's at home. Three days' ad-
journment would be taken and business
resurued on Monday, January tf. Under
that arrangement he moved that when the
House adjourned to-day it be until Tues
day next. Agreed to.

period within which, under the Jaw, evi
dence could betaken. He asked that the
resolution and affidavits be referred to the

Introduction of a Bill to Establish the
Institution.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 28.-An
other bill to establish a National univer
sity at Washington has been introduced
into Congress. It provides for a univer
sity of the highest type, vests the govern
ment of the university In a board of six
teen regents, with the President of the
United States at the head, and in a univer
sity council embracing the said board and
twelve eminen* educators, representing as
many institutions of high rank belonging
to as many States, the regents to have
charge of all business affairs and the coun
cil oi all else.
It further authorizes the university to
establish co-operative relations with other
institutions in the country; prohibits par
tisan or sectarian preferences in any form ;
makes admission depend on competency
only, and so guerds degrees to be granted
as to protect tho interests of all collegiate
institutions entitled to recognition.
In consideration of the financial condi
tion of the country, it appropriates for the
fiscal years 1897-% barely enough to enable
the board of regents to organize and do
such preliminary work as should not longer
be delayed, at the same time opening the
door to all such as may desire in imita
tion of George Washington to contribute
in any way to the great enterprise orig
inated by him.
The Petrel Will Return.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 28.— Orders

directing the gunboat Petrel, now on the
Asiatic station, to return to San Francisco.
The Petrel has been in active service for
five years and is badly in need of new tubing
for her boilers. The cruiser Boston, now
at Mare Island ready to sail for Yokoha
ma, will rolieve the Petrel.

M'KINLEY ON THE TARIFF
Ohio's Governor Satisfied With
the Passage of the Bill
for Relief.
By the Time It Expires the Republicans
Will Enact a Permanent
Protective System.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 23.— "1 think
the tariff bill passed in the House yester
day is a suitable answer to the President's
appeal for aid," said Governor McKinley
when asked for his views of the measure.
GOVERNOR McKINLEY OF 01110, WHO IS PLEASED WITH THE PRESENT
TARIFF LEGISLATION.
"Of course it is only an emergency
measure. Chairman Dingley of the Ways
and Means Committee gives a very com
prehensive and sensible statement of the
bill and the situation in his report to the
House. It will be observed that, as he
says, the bill is intended to.be in force
only two and a half years, and by that
time, he states, it is expected the Republi
cans will be returned to power, and will
re-enact a permanent protective tariff
system.
"Under the present circumstances it
doubtless would be folly to endeavor to
enact a substantial protective tariff bill. It
probably would not go through the Sen
ate, and even if it did the President would
veto it."
Asked what he thought of the present
status of the controversy with England,
McKinley replied:
"There is nothing now which seems to
call for any statement on that question
from me. The commission to investigate
the Venezuelan boundary line has not
been appointed, and no action has been
taken since the President's message that
throws much light upon the question. As
to what the finale will be, it is too early to
predict."
PZEADED GUILTY Of THEFT.

tentiary. His stealings run into the thou
sands.
Shortly after his arrest Phillips, who
was out oa bail, escaped, but was re

BOOM FOR PUGILISM
Reception Tendered Peter
Maher at Madison-
Square Garden.
ALL KINDS OF BOXING.
Stars of the Lesser Magnitude
Punished Each Other to the
Delight of Beholders.
THERE WAS A FINAL FBOST.
Hisses for the Man of the Emerald
Costume Whose Work Was
Disappointing.
NEW YORK, N. V., Dec. 28. — The
reception tendered to Peter Maher at
Madison-square Garden to-night devel
oped into one of the greatest demonstra
tions seen m connection with pugilism
since the days of John L. Sullivan.
When the regular programme opened
with a bag-punching competition, soon
after 8 o'clock, evrery seat in the great am
phitheater was filled and the greatest en
thusiasm prevailed.
The bag proved too lively for the first
few punchers, but when the experts took
a hand they soon reduced it to submission.
Jimmy Handler of Newark showed all his
customary cleverness and a little more,
and proved an easy winner of the compe
tition. Kid McCoy was second.
The boxing-bouts were for the most part
exhibitions of the tamest pattern, and
were between Danny Mcßride and Jack
Grace of New York, Martin Joyce and P.
Cronin of Brooklyn, ancV'Harry Woods of
San Francisco and Charlie Miner of New
York.
• Things assumed a more lively com-
plexion, however, when J. Caulfieid and
(ieorge Justice of Now York appeared.
They smashed each other in lively style
and acted as effective curtain-raisers for
the first pair of star?, Peter Lowrey of
Dublin and Young Griffo of Australia.
The pair put up a good give-and-take con
test during the three rounds.
The brothers Casper and Benny Leon
sparred a neat bout and were followed by
John L. Mitchell of Brooklyn and Kid Mc-
Coy of Astoria. Ti:e bout was unpopu
larly dull until the final rally, when Mc-
Coy swung his right across lightly and got
dangerously near a chance knockout.
Tim Murphy and Johnny Gorman, the
old-timers, were introduced, but th« up-to
date talent were more demonstrative over
the rattling bout between FranK Erne of
Buffalo and his pupil, Frank Zimuher. It
was a fast, clean and stirring exhibition
and the boys were generously applauded.
The rival "spiders," Tommy Kelly of
Harlem and Ike Weir of Boston, were the
next pair.
Young Griffo then reappeared for an
extra bout with his countryman, Paddy
Gorman. The latter was put' on instead of
Mike Leonard. Gorman kept Griffo going
at his best pace for three rounds, and im
parted just enough ginger to tickle the
audience without having the bout stopped.
About 11 o'clock a ripple of excitement
preceded the appearance of Ma her, who
was cheered to the echo as he Btepped into
ttie ring clad in his customary emerald
green costume.
Then Announcer Burns came forward
and apologized for the absence of Jim Hall
and Jim Dwyer, two of the men billed to
meet Maher. The temper of the audience
changed in a moment and a perfect storm
of hisses broke out as Maher fooled with
Billy Woods of Denver for three brief
rounds. Maher's regular partner, Peter
Burns of Harlem, then appeared to wind
up with the beneficiary.
Maher's showing with his opponents to
night did not altogether suit his admirers
and many left the building before the last
bout was half over.

gressmen to important committees by
Speaker Reed is a subject of much com
ment among politicians. Ohio and Indi
ana were neglected, and this gives rise to
the belief that Mr. Reed does not fear his
rivals, McKinley and Harrison, but real
izes that Allison is the man he is to beat.
Reed's disposition of committeeships
has incurred for him the enmity of many
Republicans, and it was shown in the op
sition of forty-five Republicans to his
bond scheme which passed the House
to-day. Many of these w«»re opposed to
bonds on principle, but their caucus at the
Ebbitt House the other night demon
strated that there i 3 considerable personal
feeling against the Speaker.
Among those who delivered bitter
speeches was Grove L. Johnson of Califor
nia.
Meanwhile Mr. Allison is making friends
rapidly. He is to-day by far the most
popular of all the Presidential candidates.
He is very courteous and affable in his
manner, and is a great favorite among
brother Senators, who delight to listen to
his seemingly inexhaustible supply of
anrcdotes. One of the Pacific Coast Sena
tors shul to-day:
"Allison, shortly after his return from
Europe, told me a story illustrative of the
man, and which speaks of the force as well
as the absolute lonic which are so strongly
characteristic of the Senator.
"'I was riding on a German railway,'
sad Allison, 'where they lock up passen
gers in small compartments. A big-ruus
tached, warliKe person sat at one window
of the compartment while I sat at the
other. My window was up, for I like cool,
fresh air, and as I was gazing out at the
landscape racing by and sniffing the
breezes, suddenly and without a word to
me, and without excuse or explanation,
the man with noble air and warlike mus
tache arose and, stepping around to my
seat, put down my window. Then he re
turned to his own perch and settled him
self with much massive calm.
" 'He paid not the slightest heed to me
from lirst to last. To say that I was aston
ished at the insolence of the action
might faintly express my feelings, but the
whole affair was such a surprise — so un
looked for — that before I recovered to the
p int where I might have interfered it was
all over. The deed was done; my window
was down. Now, what do you think 1
did?'
" 'Can't say,' l replied. 'Put your win
dow up again ?'
'"You are wrong,' replied Allison. 'I
did not put my window up. After a sec
ond's thought I stepped around to the
teat of my noble stranger and put his win
dow up.'
The Coast Senator continued:
"Allison will be very popular in the far
West, and I predict that he will have
more votes west of the Missouri River
than any other candidate. He is broad
gauged and liberal and altogether one of
the brainiest men in public life. He is con
servative and at the same time courageous."

BURIAL OF THE VICTIMS.
Funerals of Those Killed in the Theater
Stampede.
BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 28.— Six vic
tims of the Front-street Theater horror
were buried this afternoon. A large crowd
collected in front of each house of mourn
ing, and many morbidly curious persons-
Jews and gentiles— followed the corteges
to the cemetery.
The Hebrew Free Burial Society has
been requested to assume the expense of
nterring live other victims of the catas
trophe by the poverty-stricken friends of
the dead and has arranged to bury them
to-morrow afternoon.
The number of fatalities was twenty
three, as sent out last night.
Many persons were injured and were re
moved to their homes before their condi
tion could be ascertained, but up to a late
hour to-night no further deaths had been
reported to the health officials. Of the ten
patients at the City Hospital four had re
covered sufficiently to be removed and
were sent to their homes this evening.
