Washington Dec 31 When the sen-
ate met today Mr Perkins Rep Colo
asked unanimous consent for the con-
sideration of a resolution directing the
committee on finance to report an
amendment to the bouse tariff bill lay-
ing an Import duty on raw sugar igual
to the other Increases of the bill
Mr Berry Dm Ark objected
It was agreed to adjourn over until
rrldaj Mr Morrill Rep Vt explain-
ing that tho finance committee desired
to consider the bund and tariff bills on
Thursday
Mr Chandlers resolution offered yes-
terday directing the committee on na-
val analrs to Investigate the prices paid
by the government lor urmor plate and
as to whether any otllcluls of the gov-
ernment were Interested In patent proc
lbcc vtai emitted up
At the suggestion of Mr Gorman
bem Md tht words directing an In-
quiry Into the factB as to whether the
prices paid by the United States wero
as low as paid by foreign govern-
ments were stricken out Mr Mills
Dem Tex could not cee the reason
for the amendment Mr Gorman ex-
plained thut It was well known that an
armor plate company had been formed
In New England for furnishing armor
plate for a Russian vessel Ihe priced
asked were lower than received from
the United States The contiact he
thought had been made at a loss
There had been no concealment about
It
As to the remainder of tho resolu-
tion Mr Gorman euhl It contained an
Intimation that there had not bnen
careful business conduct of tho milce
of the navy department and further
that officers of the government were In-
terested In armor plate patents If
the Information of the senator from
ew Hampshire warrants these Intima-
tions he had no objfctlon to the resolu-
tion but he regretted that anybody
slmuld deem it necessary to make sueh
an Inqulr He spoke of the fact that
both political parties had united In thn
last twelve ears in the rejuvenation of
our navy Great discretion had been
given to tho secretaries of the navy
and the result had been marvelous to
the world Tho honest Integrity and
Intelligence of tho heads of the navy
department had not been questioned
Mr Hale also spoke of the achieve-
ments of the navy department and ex-
pressed the hope that nothing would be
found a ml st
Mr Chandler said lie shared the gen
oral regret but he wis ready to assume
tho responsibility for the resolution
Facts had come to his knowledge he
said that required Investigation and
publicity In order that future contracts
for armor in the equipment of vessels
now being and to be built should be
above suspicion and reproach
The resolution was adopted
Mr Sbirman then introduced the fol-
lowing resolution which was listened to
with keen Interest In view of the sen-
ators utterances In reference to the re-
tirement of greenbacks He gave no-
tice that on Prlday he would submit
some remarks on It The resolution
was as follows
ReKlv ed that by Injurious legisla-
tion by the Pirty lhlrd congress tho
revenues of the government were re-
duced below Its necessiry expenditure
and the funds created by law for the
redemption of United States notes had
been Invaded to supply such deficiency
that such a misapplication of the re-
sumption funds Is of doubtful legality
and generally Injurious to the publlo
credit and should be prevented by re-
storing said fund to the sum of not
less than 100 000000 In gold cotn or bul-
lion to be paid out only In the redemp-
tion of United States notes and treas-
ury notes and such notes w hen re-
deemed were to be re issued only In ex-
change for gold coin or bullion
Mr Mitchell Rep Ore then took
the floor and spoke in favor of his reso-
lution Instructing the finance commit-
tee to restore the McKlnley duties on
wool In any revenue bill reported to tho
senate Senator Mitchell declared that
no Industry has received such a stag-
gering and deadly legislative blow as
that Inflicted upon the wool Industry
bv the WHfon tarlfT net It had drain-
ed from the United States within the
lost vear 4500uoo In gold to pay for
foreign wool and had ocoisloncd a loss
to the wool irrowers of this country of
more than SluOOOOOOO Unless this leg-
islation was changed the sheep indus-
try or the Faclflo coast would be an-
nihilated Senator Mitchell referred to
the condition of the treasury and the
presidents appeal and added
Whllo providing at the earliest pos
slbe moment legislation which nill pro-
duce sufllclent revenue to relievo the
administration of Its present embar-
rassment other simple questions should
not be lost sight of In the performance
of our patriotic response to the presi-
dent and we should legislate so as to re-
lieve from danger of destruction some
of the great Industries stricken down
br the Wuon tariff act
Mr Mitchell said the arirf bill past-
ed by the house -will probably Increase
the revenue 10 000 000 a year Amend-
ed as It should toe by affording wool
lumber barley hops and other agricul-
tural products adfqtm projection It
tlI Ktve an additional revenue of S89
000 000 and place s block on the o
calltd endless chain fcy which gold
Is drawn from the treasury stop all
necessity for further Issue of bonds
and rescue from Impending ruin the
wools and other agriculture J Interests
of this country
While Mr Mitchell waa contending
that the secretary of the treasury
could have Mopped the gold raids by
using hid discretion to redeem nots In
com Mr Hill Dem N Y nsked him
If it wax not true that greenbacks had
ben redeemed In gold by eery secret
tary since 1S79 Mr Mitchell teplled
that It might bo true but In hH opin-
ion It was very poor policy
The treasury whu ha v only been
redeemed in gold elnce 191 Inter-
posed Mr CockretlDem Mo
is that a fact asked Mr Mitch
ell
It Is replied Mr Cockrell emphati-
cally In 193 In response to a tele-
gram sent by mo to Sect a tary Poster
he replied tliat the first treasury note
had been redeemed uy him In gold In
1891
I am talking aliut greenbacks
said Mr Hill Havt not all the seere
tarles of the treasuij redeemed these
notes In gold since 1S79T
Greenbacks were never presented
said Mr Cockrell There was no de-
mand for gold and that can be shown
on the record The senator from Ohio
Mr Sherman since that time pro-
posed to redeem retire and cancel
ever one of those greenbacks -with sli-
ver dollars and his amendment I
that effect Is here on record nnd lu
addition to that I want to say that
becrctary Curl Isle January 20 18J3
said before tho house committee on
appropriations that if In the begin-
ning the secretary of tho treasury had
exercised his discretion of paying
cither In silver or gold It -would have
operated well and would have been of
great benefit
In answer to Mr Hill Sir Cockrell
said he did not know whether Secre-
tary Foster had redeemed greenbacks
In gold
iou said It hadtoeen done said Mr
Cockrell I repeat that no secretary of
the treasury until October 1591 ever
Melded the option to holders of United
Stales notes United States notes weie
not redeemed In gold at the option of
the holder The option was nover given
the holder until 1KJL
At the conclusion of Mr Mitchells
remarks his resolution -was referred to
tin finance committee
Mr Stewart recalled the fact thit at
n dinner at Delmonieos New York
November 11 1E91 Secretary Foster
had declared that he would redeem
United States notes la gold and that
President Harrison In bis annual re-
port the isnie jear hid said that the
policy of the treasury department had
dono much to restore confidence In
the country
Mr Llklns Rep W Va asked for
the Immediate consideration of a reso-
lution declaring It to te the sense of
the senate that no bonds of the United
States should be sold ut private pale or
nt private contract but that they
should be advertised and sold to the
highest bidder
As that resolution would seem to re-
flect on the senator from Ohio Sher-
man who when eecretcry of treaRtiry
nlwavs disponed of bonds by private
contract and as he is now absent I
think the resolution should go over
sail Mr Hilt Dem N Y
I do not undeistand how the reso-
lution can reflect on Mr Sherman
said Mr Elklns
I cannot make It plainer replied
Mr Hill
The resolution weit over
Mr Nelson Rep tlnn addressed
the senate on the geieral financial
question maintaining that the great
outward movement of gold could not
be stopped until the bnlanee of trade
was In our favor and that that result
could not be obtained without an ade-
quate Increase of tariff rates An In
crerse of tariff rates and adequate rev-
enue In the treusury would Bolve the
pioblem He thought the banks shoull
bear their share of the burden of
maintaining our vast paper currency
on a parity with gold When he took
his seat Mr Elkins renewed his re-
quest for immediate consideration of
his resolution but Mr Hill objected
and at 2 20 o clock the senate adjourned
until Trlday

London Dec 31 The Westminster
Gazette thU afternoon In a leading
article on the Venezuelan controversy
headed A way out sass
While the question Intrinsically 1m
not Important Incidentally H is of
great importunce that Great Britain
cannot retreat from tho position sha
has taken up and that the United
btates cannot retreat from theirs The
only mathods of escape from this dead-
lock which shall Impost neither humili-
ation nor retreat on either side Is to
find something which Is not arbitration
but which Is as like It as possible
Continuing the Westminister Gazette
suggests that both countries agree
upon a board of conciliation not bind-
ing themselves as In the catue of arbi-
tration to accept Us decision but on
the chance of the conciliations being
able to suggest a compromlso accep-
table to both countiles
In conclusion the Wesmlnlster Ga-

Impartial sensible men nay the chief

New York Dec 31 The Evening
Post In Its last edition says A con-
tract was signed this morning by all
the members of the new bond syndi-
cate subject to Ihe formal acceptance
of the government The syndicate
agrees to furnish one nnd a half mil-
lion ounces of gold amounting to about
3200000000 the government to take
une half of this sum first and to June
the option of taking the other half
and to deliver 4 per cent thirty jear
coin bonds at about the same price as
paid for the last Isauo of bonds the
managers of the syndicate to receive
n commission of 1 per cent Tho prlco
nt which the lust bonds -were ttikcn
wae 101 at which they yielded 3 3 4
per cent Interest
Tho same paper says further The
most Interesting piece of news In finan-
cial circles today next to the report
that a contract had been signed by
J P Morgan Co for a new govern-
ment loon was the announcement
that Law son We rd en Meld Co had or-
dered J50UOoo in gold from London
and that It will leave on Saturday
Tne firm mentioned Is a new one A
member of It when asked for some
particulars of the transaction would
only nay that tho Arm wanted the
gold that they were not acting for an
one else and that It was necessary
they should procure the cold from out-
side the United Mates A curious
thing In connection with the Importa-
tion of gold by Iawson Wctdenfeld A
Co Is that bankers who sold them the
exchange on which to Import the gold
will have to export gold to cover their
Wlls Foreign however said
that no doubt that for some time im-
ports and exports of gold would occur
simultaneously in consequence of the
unintelligent action of congress and the
terms on whkh the subscriptions to
the new government loans would be
received
It was reported today that the syndl

bank and a German bank that Messrs

pate at a price In what Is virtually to
be a blind pool the four members of
the syndlcato mentioned hnndllng tho

today of the orders given to Iindon
bankers to claim gold for all coupons
payable In pold due on January 1
and remit gold or as In some cases
retain It subject to order In the event
of non payment in gold protest there-
of Is to be made
New York bankers also received
similar InstiuctionH today from In-
terior banks with regard to coupons of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
and the other interests railing due on
January 1 These bunks some of them

of a new bond Isiuo but the rplnlon
now prevails that It may be postponed
for a number of da a jet The ce mo-
tion of tho largo withdrawals tf gold 1
for export and the fact that one or
more orders have been placed for Fold
shipments from abroad are Important
factors tn the question of an early Is-
sue On the other hand the almost

able quantities are bslng withdrawn In
