A Letter from Secretary Carlislc to “Chairman Voorhces—Unless Con- gress Acts at Once, Bonds Will Be Issued Under thelliaw of 1875— Critical Condition of the Treasury. VVASI-IIXGTON, Jan. 16.—Secretary Car- lisle has deemed it proper to make public through a letter addressed to Mr. Voor— hees, chairman Of the senate finance com- mittee, with whom he has been in consuls tation several days, an authentic state- ment of the present critical condition of the "United States treasury and of its urgent needs, as follows: WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 13, 1894. HON. D. W. VoommEs, Chairman 3f the Committee on Finance, U. S. Senate. DEAR SIR—In compliance with your verbal request, I have the honor to sub« mit for the consideration of the finance committee of the senate statements show- ing the actual condition of the treasury on the 12th day of the present month, and an estimate of the receipts and expendi- tures during the remainder of this month and the month of February. It will be seen from these. statements 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 ex- penses and discharge the obligations of the government to pensioners and other lawful creditors. .- then my annual report was prepared, the current fiscal year would exceed the re- ceipts to the amount of about $28,000,000, and I asked congress for authority to issue and sell bonds, or other forms of obliga- tions, to an amount not exceeding 350,- 000,000, bearing a low grade of interest run, to enable the secretary of the treas- ury to supply such deficiencies as might. occur in the revenue. The estimate then made was based upon the assumption that the worst effects of our financial disturbances had already been realized and that there would be a substantial in— crease in the revenues for the remainder of the year. \Vhile it was not believed that the deficiency then actually existing would be supplied by increased revenues in the future, it was hoped that no addi- tional definciency 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 of $738,000,000 at the close ofthe year was much too low. If the average monthly deficiencies should continue, the total differences be- tween receipts and expenditures on the 30th day of J 11116 next will be $78,167,532. According to the best estimates that can be made, the total receipts during the present month and the month of Febru- ary will be $41,900,000, and the total ex- penditures will be $60,300,000, showing a. deficiency during the two months of $18,— 400,000, but this does not include any pay- ments on account of the sugar bounty, claims for which to the amount of nearlv $5,000,000 have already been presented, department. On account of this critical condition of the treasury, I have considered it my duty, in addition tothe earnest recommendations contained in my annual report, to appear twice before your committee, and, after full explanations of the situation, urge prompt legislative action on this subject. \Vhile 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 pro- priety of awaiting 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 main- taining specie payments was expressly conferred upon the secretary of the treas- ury by the act of January 14, 1875, but it has not been exercised since 1879, and, on account of the high rate of interest pro- vided 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 issu 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 obliga- tions, 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 pub- lic duty to exercise power already con- ferred, to the extent at least, of providing an adequate coin reserve. J. G. CARLISLE. The publication of this important let- ter, it is confidently expected, will be fol- lowed by some immediate consideration of the question by congress. Troubles of Princess Coionna.

' President Rogers took the chair, a cheer lllllllllii reunions The Democratic Senate Legally Or;- ganizcd, and Formally Recognized By All use Members Duly Elected, and ‘Vho \Vere Present at thepTimc. TRENTON, N. J.,-Jan. 16.—-The demo- cratic senate met in the senate chamber at 7:301ast night. After prayer the roll was called and 10 senators answered to . their names. Senator Winton, who was in the chair, said there was no quorum present, and ordered a recess of 15 minutes. In anticipation of scenes of excitement the corridors were again thronged with people, and a. cordon of police was on hand to keep them in order. The police had nothing to do but stand in line and look as handsome as possible. The house met at 6 o’cloCk, received a few bills which were introduced and then adjourned until to- day. A half hour later the republican senate met in the assembly chamber. Three thousand people crowded the auditorium and galleries and when went up. Prayer was offered and then a motion to adjourn was carried amid hisses and jeers from the galleries. The repub- lican senators then went into conference in the speaker’s room to discuss the opin- ion of the attorney general. This opinion is in favor of the demo- crats. The attorney general, it is un- derstood, after refering to the fact that the senate is a continuous body, and that there can be no new senate, says that there cannot be a doubt . but that it was the duty of the nine senators to or- ganize and to proceed to the performance of such duty as the constitution imposed uponthem. Their action was according to the constitution, according to law and according to the custom which had al-- ways existed,and more than two-thirds of the existing senate was present at the time. The attorney-general cites the fact that after the chosing of a president pro tem there was a call of the senate, which resulted in nine senators being reporetd as present, upon which a. recess of five minutes was taken, and on motion of Senator Daly, at the expiration of five min- utes, the journal says, under the direction of the president, the secretary called the senate when the following senators ap- peared and answered the call ' ' numbering thirteen, and accordingly it was ordered that the thirteen be recorded as present. This, he goes on to explain was the : whole senate of the state. Every individ- ual entitled at that moment to be present and take part in the proceedings was there present and did take part. They all permitted themselves to be recorded as present, they were, in fact, actually pres— ent, and there is no record on the journal which shows that the whole body was not present at the time the resolution was passed communicating to the governor the fact of their organization. It will be observed that the whole ex- isti ng senate acquiesced and ratified the organization by treating Senator Adrain as the president of the body. He concludes by practically advising the governor to use his discretion as to the recognition to be acceded to eitherbody. SIXTEEN PERSON S KILLED. Others Badly Injured in 3. Railroad \Vreck in Cuba. HAVANA, J an. 16.—A frightful accident has occurred on the Timina~Matanzas railway at a point eight miles from On— manayagua, in the province of Matanzas.
