General Master Workman.
\VAfiHiNGTXJN, Jan. 19- Secretary Car
.isle declined to say anything about the
threatened injunction by the Knights
of Labor to restrain him from issuing
rJ.iUi.iW in bonds
Officers cf the tieasury department
uere not surprised as the feeling of
labor unions on the b nd question
were known to be unfavorable. Otfl
ciaU were of the opmlou that the
ses-retary had Dothlng more than a
temporary delay to fear if the iDjunc
Hod wa- procured, and even this they
did not *hink in the least degree prob
able The secretary consulted the at
forney general and the president be-
fore issuing the bond call.
Representative Culberson of Texas
says there is to doubt of the power of
the secretary to issue bonds for the
purposes of the resumption act . The
-opinion among lawyers of the house in
the proceeding would have no stauding
in the court.
\ strong sentiment i9 expressed
among silver men concerning the gold
clause in Secretary Carlisle's notice of
the bond sale.
Representative Bland says it is the
. L. _ I________ ____444 z, l o 1
first time he has ever seen an official
statement deollning to adopt sliver as
one of the various forms of legal tender
and requiring payment in gold only.
“The standard silver dollar is full legal
tender," said Bland "and it oan be
offered and reoeived in payment for
these bonds. The aot under which the
bonds are issued provides they should
be payable in coin. It does not say
gold. At the time of the act the stand-
ard silver dollar was a full legal tender,
so It must be inolnded in the meaning
of the word “ooin.
Some anti silver men take issue with
Bland on this point. They say the
bonds are Issued under the resumption
aot of H75, which provides the hoods
should be sold for “ooln" but they
point out that before this, in 1873,
silver was demonetized. Aside from the
legallity of gold olaase, the silver men
say it is against publio policy to make
publio desorimation against one of the
many metals now in UHe and that the
effect of the secretary's action is to
tend to send gold to a premium and to
distribute the premium between the
gold and silver ooins.
Dksmoines, Iowa, Jan 19—General
Master Workman Sovereign was seen
by an Associated Press reporter to
night in regard to the proposed in
junction against secretary Carlisle.
"A petition praying for an injunction
to restrain the secretary of the treasury
from issuing bonds." Mr. Srverign
paid, "would be drawn here by Judge
Cole and would be sworn to by Mr.
Sovereign and sent to Washington, to
toe Hied in the United States oourt of
ihedtstriot of Columbia the drat of
next week.”
Touight Mr.Sovereigu seat a telegram
to Senator Alien of Nebraska asking
liim to make an oral argument before
the federal oourt.
The following specific claims are
made by persons seeking the injunc-
tion against the bond issue; there is
nothing in the law providing for a ta
serve fund at this time In the Unitec
Spates treasury of $100,000,000; there
is no provision in the law for any spe-
cial reserve, as oonstrued by the pres-
ent government. The fact that the
eeoretary of the treasury is to offer for
sale a greater amount of bonds than
the so called legal reserves indicates
that he is not offering them for the
purpose of redemption, and it further
shows be has not offered them for sale
for any of the purposes specified in the
law of January 14, 1875, known as the
resumption aot. The secretary of the
treasury has no authority to offer bonds
for sale for any purpose. There is no
deficit in the United States reserve
fuud and the silver at present in the
treasury is more than double the so-
called deficit.
The Hoait.
Washington, Jan. 19—At the open-
ing of the session in the house the re-
port of the committee on eleotionsin
favor of O’Neill, the Democratic con-
testant in the contested election case
of O'Neill verson Joy, wee presented
and ordered printed.
The consideration of the tariff bill
was than resumed, the pending amend-
ment being that of Johnson, (Demo-
crat) of Ohio, to plaoe steel rails on the
free list.
Before Dalzell was recognized to pro-
ceed with his speech begun yesterday,
Mr. Wilson asked unanimous oonseut
that three hours be s-t apart next
Monday for consideration of amend-
ments to the sugar schedule. This was
agreed to.
Jobusoo replied to Dalsell in a semi
humorous vela.
As to the grave oharge that in chang-
ing the reoord he had praotioed daoelt
upon the house, Mr. Johnsou ex-
plained that when he made his epeeoh
he was totally unprepared to answer
the question Mr. Dalzell propounded.
When he went Lome and consulted his
records he fouud he was slight ly in
error and be had made the ohauge to
which Mr. Dalzell had alluded, hut the
first thlug he bad done the next day
was to Inform Dalzell. Personalities,
he continued, were brought into this
controversy by the eloquent advoostes
of the steel rail trust to cloud the argu-
ment. In all seriousness he declared
this steel rail pool was only typical of
other protected trusts, the exUleuoe of
come of which was, perhaps, not so
easy to prove as this. In oouoluding
he appealed to all Democrats to de
stroy these vampires that would sack
the blood from the people.
Mr. Bland of Missouri, declared free
rails would enable many companies to
repair their roadH and take some out of
the hards of reoeivers.
Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, took a
position against Mr. Johnson. He de
dared the steel rail sohedule had been
dealt with in the same spirit of fair
ness as the others hud been
In conclusion Chairman Wilson urg
ed upon his Democratic oolieagues the
necessity of preserving the whole
scheme of the bill.
Messrs. Cannon of Illinois, Wagner
of Pennsylvania, and Adams of Penn
sylvania, argued against the Johnson
amendment.
Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, offered an
amendment to the amendment to
restore existing rate on steel rails.
This was lost. The vote was then
taken on Mr. Johnsou’s free rail
amendment which was defeated by a
vote of ICO to 79
Mr. Henderson of Iowa, was thtn
recognized to offer the agricultural
-checiale of the McKinley law as a sub
stitnte for that of the Wilson bill.
The rest of the afternoon was con
sumed in a discussion of the Hender
sou amendment.
At the night session Mr. Bell of Col
orado, spoke in favor of the bill,
although it did not go far enough to
suit him.
Mr. Morgan, of Missouri,condemned
the proposition to plaoe lead ore on the
free list. The lead schedule, he
obarged as a fact within his knowledge,
had been dictated by the lead trusts,
n the discussion he appealed to the
louse to remove from the bill any
suspeoion of jobbery.
Mr. Childs, of Illinois, closed the
debate in opposition to the bill.

were strewn about the neighborhood.

seen on all sides and the stenoh from
the putrlfied bodies was horrible.
inspector Taylor started in pursuit
of the Safas who had doue this bloody
work, aud oome close upon their trail
January 2 at Bagwtma. The frontier
poiloe managed to approach the Sofa
camp without being observed and
found the plaoe was strongly proteoted
by a blockade and other defenses. The
police, however, carried the plaoe by
storm In a quarter of an hour, killing
200 Sofas aud wounding 77 others. In
addition the frontier poiloe captured
all the guns and ammnnltion of the
Sofas and resoued 400 slaves. The vio
tory of the police completely dispersed
the horde of bloody slayers, whose
crimes have long been the terror of
that place.
Four days previously, the Sofas, on
der Chief Pori, attacked the poiloe gar
rison at Tanki, but were repelled with
a loss of fifty men killed and a large
number wounded.
Prices Coming to a Fine Point

It isn’t simply a case of underselling everybody else.
It is a case of quoting figures unparalleled in the history of
the trade. Bargain in a hackneyed word. Every merchant
uses it often and with but little justification.
We can state our position in a nutshell. This is the
time of selling Winter Clothing, especially Overcoats, and the
ordinary inducements must be superceded by special ones.
You may be able to match our prices in other stores,
but nowhere can you match the quality. If you want big

Worth $18 and $20, at $12.00.
