Secretary Carlisle Declares That thile He Should Have Authority to Issue I Short Term Bonds He Is Not Very Likely to Need Them. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—There was a large attendance on the floor of the senate, today, and the galleries were well filled in anticipation of a struggle and perhaps a vote on the silver bill, which had been adroitly forced to~ the front last night as the uiifinished business. There was hard. 1y an’absentce on the Democratic side, in- dicating the anxiety of the different ele- ments to present full ranks on the im- pending cOntest. It was evident at the outset that the silver strength would be augmented by another vote, as the creden: tials of Mr. Wilson, the new senator from Washington state, had been received, and Mr. Wilson was ready to be sworn in. The desk he was about to occupy was piled high with a profusion of crimson flowers. ' A report from the secretary of the treas- ury was read in response to the resolution concerning the need of legislation to meet the.deficiencies. The secretary stated that an available balance of $99.87 5,000, exclu- sive of over $55,000, 000 gold reserve, is on hand. He expressed the opinion that it ‘ would be desirable for the secretary of the treasury to have authority to issue and sell short time bonds to meet deficiencies. The secretary added. however, that no such de- ficiency now exists or is likely, and he was of opinion that there would be ample rev- enue for the coming fiscal year. The Silver Bill Again. Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) secured unani- mous consent for taking up the bill to aid in the erection of a moniunent at Balti- more to the Maryland heroes in the Revo- lutionary war, and Mr. Gibson (Dem. Md.) thereupon began a carefully prepared man- uscript speech. It was thought for a time to be an obstruction move on the part of Mr. German and his associates to hold ofi the silver bill, but this was not the case, as the silver men were' among those who gave unanimous consent. At the close of Mr. Gibson’s speech the bill was passed. Mr. Jones (Dem. ,- Ark.), in charge of the 'sllver bill, was at once on his feet with a request that the senate proceed with his silver bill. ‘ Mr. Jones pressed his motion. Great in— terest was shown while the yea and nay -‘ vote was being taken. The motion prevail- ed by the decisive majority of 9—yeas, 36; nays, 27. After the silver bill had been taken up, 'J ones (Ark) tried to getatime fixed for a vote, but senators objected. Mr. Jones gave notice he would ask the senate to sit until a vote was reached. Mr. Vilas then took the floor for a speech. \Vork of the House. In the, house today the senate amend- ments to the house bill to authorize the Oklahoma Central railroad to construct a railroad through Oklahoma and Indian territories were agreed to. Bills were also passed as follows: To correct the military records of Captain Abraham 0. Waueop and Elisha B. Bas- sett; to prevent the transportation of mer- chandise in bond through the United States into the free zone of Mexico; to re- tire Colonel Don Carlos Buell, United States army, as a brigadier general. Mr. Talbott (Dem., Md.), in charge of the naval appropriation bill, then demand- ed the regular order in the interest of that bill, but Mr. Brown (Dcm., Ind.) antags onized the bill by calling up the contested election case of Williams versus Settle from the Fifth North Carolina district. Mr. Talbott raised the question of considera- tion against it, and the house, by a vote of 50 to 81, decided against proceeding with the contested election case. The considera- tion of the naval appropriation bill was then resumed, the pcndipg question being TRY IT i—Hold the edge of acommon visit ing card to line so that m shadow will fall on either side; then hold your nose to the card and on will see how_ easy it is for the mu 1:! swal ow one of 1):. herce's Pleasant Pellets.

WASHINGTON, Feb. .20.—-—A memorial ~from'the legislative assembly of Arizona has been presented to congress requesting that the lands covered by the petrified for- est be withdrawn from entry until the ad- visability of making a public park of it can be settled. The lands are in Apache County, are ten miles square, and, according to the memorial, are covered by trunks of trees, some of which measure over 200 feet in length and from 7 to 10 feet in diameter. The legislature represents that ”ruthless curiosity seekers are destroying these huge trees and logs by blasting them in pieces in search of crystals, which are found in the center of many of them, while carloads of the limbs and smaller pieces are being shippcd'away to be ground up for various purposes,” and that the ‘park or “chalce- dony forest” is “annually visited by hun- dreds of scientific men and travelers from Tomake it a public park would preserve the tract from vandalism and injure no one, as there are no settlers upon it.

MINORITY WOULD NOT SIGN. Text of the Document thich Is Intended .as a. Defiance to Platt—The Tioga States- man Goes to Albany—Cornelius ‘ ‘ Van Cott With Him. ALBANY, Feb. 20.—The Republican as- :semblymen of New York city were asked today to sign the following testimonial for Mayor Strong. The signatures of all but ‘ Assemblymen Hoops, Hamilton, Adler, Wilkes, Halpin and Bell were obtained. The document reads as follows: “ Ve, the undersigned Republican as~ semblymen from New York city, desire to give public and formal expression to our opinion upon the existing political situa- tion in New York city. In making this statement we do not mean to reflect upon the personal character or political gnotivcs of any person. The judgment of any lead- er, great or small, is always open to ques- tion or criticism. “Mayor Strong'was not elected upon a Republican party platform. As a candi- date he stood upon the platform of the committee of seventy. The Republican party in the city and county of New York subscribed to that platform by nominating him as its candidate, and it stands pledged to his support. As a candidate Mayor Strong had the confidence of the independ- ent men whose votes were absolutely es- sential to the success of the city ticket. He still retains the confidence of those men. Republicans \Vill Be Held Responsible. “Public opinion in New York city de- mands the passage of certain reform meas- ures relating to municipal affairs. The Republican party will be held responsible for any delay or failure to pass the meas— ures. N o mistake of Mayor Strong nor any personal disappointment over the dis- tribution of patronage will excuse such delay or failure.” The assemblyinen who sign this indorse- ment of Mayor Strong’s political acts are: Alfred R. Conkling of the Eighth district, Frank D. Pavey of the Eleventh, Robert Miller of the Seventeenth, Welton C. Percy of the Nineteenth, Howard Payson Wilds of the Tyx'cntyffii‘st, Judson LawsOn of the Twenty-third, Louis H. Bold of the Twen- ty-fourth, Harvey T. Andrews of the Twenty—sixth, Philip W.

Adler of the Third, Henry William Hoops, J r., of the Seventh and Alonzo Bell of the Twenty-ninth refused to Sign. Mr. Platt \Vas Jovlal. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Mr. Thomas C. Platt went to Albany this afternoon on the 1 o’clock train, and Cornelius Van Cott went with him. The two men boarded the Sixth avenue elevated together from Mr. Platt’s ofifice, which fact gave more significance to their joint journey than would otherwise have been attached to it. It is known that Mr. Van Cett has been Mr. Platt‘s choice for one of the new pc- lice commissioners, and their journey to Albany together naturally gave rise to the rumor that one subject of the conference with Governor Morton and the members of the legislature will be the matter of naming the commissioners in the bill to be passed and thus take the power away from Mayor Strong. When Mr. Platt was seen on the car, he was in unusually good spirits. “Who is going with you?” he was asked. ‘ “Well, I don’t know of anybody, ” rc- plied Mr. Platt. “I see Van Cott’s here. ” And Mr. Platt almost winked his eye. ‘ ‘What are you going to Albany for, Mr. Platt?” “I am going up to see what’s to be seen and to do whatever is necessary to be done,” answered Mr. Platt, and the latter part of the sentence was spoken most em- phatieally. "What about the rumored conference between your friends and Mayor Strong?” “I can’t say yet. Really I don’t know what will be done. But”—and here Mr. Platt’s face wrinkled up in a broad grin—- “you must not ask me about Strong. I am not in his confidence, you know. ” It was a noticeable fact that Mr. Platt did not call on Dr. Chauncey Depew, al- though he had a good quarter of an hour to spare after he reached the station. Afflicted With Rheumatism. Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies Without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.
