Washington, Jan. 17.—Secre-
tary Carlisle late this afternoon
issued the following circular in-
viting proposals for 5 per cent
bonds:
Treasury Depertment, Wash-
ington, Jan. 17, 1894.—By virtue
of the authority contained in the
act entitled "An act to provide for
the resumption of specie pay
menta," approved Jan. 14, 1875,
the secretary of the treasury here-
by offers for public subscription
an issue of bonds of the United
States on the amount of #50,000,-
000 in either registered or coupon
form in denomination of $50 and
upward redeemable in coin at the
pleasure of the government after
ten years from the date of their is-
sue and bearing interent, payable
quarterly in coin at the rate of 5
per cent per annum. Proposals
for the whole or any part of these
bonds will be received at the treas-
ury department office of the secre-
tary' until 12 o'clock noon on the
first day of February, 1894. Ppro-
posals should state the amount of
bonds desired, whether registered
or coupon and the premium which
the subscriber proposes to pay
the place where it is desired that
the bonds shall be delivered, and
the officer, whether that of the
treasurer of the United States or
an assistant treasurer of the Uni
ted States where it will be most
con% enient for the subscriber to
deposit the amount of his
subscription. Failure to specif}
the above particulars may cause
the proposal to be rejected. As
soon as practicable after the first
day of February, 1894, the allot-
ment of l>onds will be made to the
higher bidders therefor, but no
proposal will be considered at a
lower price than #117.22 which is
equivalent of a 3 per cent bond
and the right to reject any and all
proposals is hereby expressl> re-
served. In case the bids entitled
to allotment exceed the bonds'to be
issued, they will be alloted pro
rata. Notice of the date of deliv-
ery of the bonds will be issued to
the subscribers to whom allotments
are made as soon as practicable
and within ten days from the date
of cuch notice subscriptions must
be paid in I nited States gold coin
to the treasurer of the United
States as the subscriber has desig-
nated, and if not so paid, the pro-
posal may be rejected. The bonds
will be dated Feb. 1, 1894, and
when payment is made theaefor, as
above, accrued interest on both
principal and premium from Feb.
1, 1894, to date of payment, at the
rate of interest realized to the sub-
scriber in his investment will be
added. All proposals should be
addressed to the secretary of the
treasury, Washington, D. C., and
should be distinctly marked "Pro-
posals for subscriptions to the 5
per cent bonds.

$30,000,000; January twelve days,
receipts $10,000,000, expenditures
#16,000,000; total receipts for
these months $162,000,000 and the
expenditures $205,000,000, leaving
an excess of expenditures of $43, -
000,000.
He said that at this rate by June
we would be behind about #70,-
000,000. He announces that he
will not sell the bonds at a lower
rate than would net the purchaser
above 3 per cent interest, though
he will have to give 5 per cent
under the act of 1875. If he sells
these bonds a fraction over 1.17
then this will amount to a 3 per
cent interest rate. He will not sell
for a lower price than this. There
is great divergence of opinion
about the matter. One side de
clares that the issuance of the
bonds is the only way to pursue to
prevent national bankruptcy and a
panic, while others say that Wal
street wins again.
commissions expiring.
Washington, Jan. 17. — The
largest number of commissions of
presidential postmasters will have
expired during the three months
ending Feb. 28 than in any pre
vious quarter of the year. The
number of clerks who commissions
expired last month was 480. Al-
ready this month 125 commissions
have expired and the expirations
during this month will aggregate
350. The number of commissions
which expire during February is
about 175.
fifty million bond issue.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The sec-
retary of the treasurer proposes to
sell #50,000,000 worth of bonds,
as he said he would do some time
ago. He thought in the early days
of the congress that though the re-
ceipts were falling off very rapidly
still he would be able to get along
till congress could pass a law au-
thorizing him to issue bonds at a
lower rate of interest and for a
shorter time than now permitted
under the law of 1875. By this
law the secretary holds he has the
right to issue bonds bearing 5 per
cent and of a life of ten years for
the purpose of keeping up the gold
reserve fund that stands as the
jacking of the ontside greenbacks
and the coin notes which were is-
sued for the purchase of bullion
but have been by this and the
ormer administration redeemed
n gold in order to keep up the
parity between silver and gold.
The receipts have been falling
off so rapidly that there is no time
"or delay, and hence the action of
the secretary. The- secretary to
show how the expenditures re-
quired by law are exceeding the
receipts furnishes a statement
which in round numbers are as
ollows:
Last July receipts $30,000,000,
expenditures $39,000,000; August
receipts $23,000,000, expenditures
i *33,000,000; September receipts
$24,000,000, expenditures $25,-
)0 J,000; October receipts $24,000,-
00), expenditures $29,000,000; No-
t« aber receipts $23,000,000, ex-
pen litures $81,OOOjOOO; December

republican caucus.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The
publican senators will hold a cau
cus at the capitol tomorrow at 11
o'clock to consider a plan of pro-
cedure of matters before congress.
The lack of interest which the re-
publicans have generally shown in
the bill for the repeal of the fed
eral elections laws will probablj"
make a fight against it further
than has already been made.
collector earnest.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The pro
tests against and for the issuance
of a commission to Mr. Earnest,
the collector of the Corpus Christi
port, was laid before the president
today and he considered them.
They were afterward returned to
the treasury department but they
came without intimation as to
what the president intends intends
in the matter since Mr. Earnest
has been confirmed by the senate
and is in the office doing the work
and nothing is left to be done ex-
cept to sign his commission. With-
out having a fact to base the opin-
ion on, yet it looks as if the com-
mission would be denied. The
president is very friendly to Sena-
tor Mills, who is fighting Mr.
Earnest, and if it were not for this
fact he would not hesitate to sign
the commission and de done with
the affair.
j. scott harrison rejected.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The sen-
ate in executive session today re-
jected the nomination of J. Scott
Harrison to be surveyor of cus-
toms at Kansas City. Mr. Harri-
son is a brother of ex-President
Harrison and was appointed over
the protest of Senator Vest. A
yea and nay vote was not asked
upon the nomination after a state-
ment of the case had been made by
the Missouri senators.
There was~ some discussio^n over
a minor Illinois postmaster where
charges had been filed, but no ac-
tion was taken.
There were a number of con-
firmations made, where no oppo-
sition existed, but tuey were not
announced as the president had
not been notified of the senate's
action.

bailey's bond resolution.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The sub-
committee of the judiciary commit-
tee of the house, to which was re-
ferred ths resolution of Represen-
tative Bailey, providing that the
secretary of the treasury has no
right to issue bonds to supply the
present treasury deficit, held a
meeting today. Representative
Goodnight, a member of the sub-
committee, desired to confer with
the secretary ol the treasury be-
fore voting on the resolution* and
in order to enable him to do so
the committee adjourned until to-
morrow. This does not, however,
delay the progress of the commit-
tee, because the full committee
could not receive its report before
the regular meeting on Friday
next. There seems to be no doubt
that the sub-committee will make
a favorable report on the resolu-
tion.

Mrs. Benson had been regretting her

"They'll treat him just like one of the

"I dunno's that's much of an outlook,"
said the father in a dubious tone. "They
used to let their Aunt Hannah chore
round from momin till night an never
give her a cent for it, an then they let
Jekiel git all run down 'fore they let him
come home to live."

A Little Hint.
He (devoted, but bashful)—There'#

about political combines and rings and
such things.
She (determined to help him out)—
Yes, I've noticed. Do women ever get
mixed up with them?
He—Certainly not. Why do you ask
that?
She (with a "now will you tumble?"
emphasis)—Because I feel as if I would
like to get into a ring of some kind my-
self.

A student had been bragging of his
various accomplishments until one of
the company, losing his patience, said,
"Now, we have heard quite enough of
what you can do—just tell us what you
can't do, and I'll undertake to do it my-
self."
"Indeed. Well, I can't pay my bill,
and I am very glad to find that you can
do it," replied the student.

guest redeemed his rash promise Tit-
