It I-. !-ni<l That the President Tliinbs That
Tlieru .Siloilid Bir Another Is*un of Houcl*
and That He Is Supported in the Opinion
by Secretary Carlisle—Other Note* from
the Capital.
Washington, March 22.—Involved in
the signing of the seigniorage bill is the
issue of more United States bonds. It
is the desire of both Mr. Cleveland and
Mr. Carlisle that authorization he given
for the issuance of short term 3 par cent
bonds of small denomination.
The mutter is being pressed with con
siderable earnestness, it being represent
ed that sach bonds most be issued to
aecnre the gold reserve, whether the
seigniorage bill is signed or vetoed, un
less coupled with, the coinage of the seig
nior age there is a provision made by act
of congress that all customs dues be
paid in gold.
This proposition entors into the ques
tion of whether or' not Mr. Cleveland
Will sign the seigniorage bill. He has
indicated a desire to sign the seigniorage
bill if he can see his way clear to do so
without endangering tho gold reserve;
but a consideration which has been pre
sented to him is that, he may veto the
bill with the sugges .; :'.. itif the prop
osition to coin the seigniorage were sent
to him coupled with a provision for the
issue of bonds or for f!: > payment of
enstows duties in go!d that he would
sign it.
If by taking this action he coaid se
cure the authority to issue 3 per cent
bonds there is little doubt that he would
follow the suggestion, which is under
stood to come from Mr. Carlisle. Mr.
Carlisle has given it plainly to be under
stood that it will not be possible for him
to issne bonds again under the same
conditions as the $50,000,000Were recent
ly issued—selling them at a premium to
overcome the excessive interest.
There is a strong belief that if no au-
thoritv is given for bonds there will

He was working for the
appointment of a friend, a young lady
for whom be had shown great interest,
and was very much cone orbed that she
should receive ihe place.' He was una-
able to get out of the carriage, and com-

at the different places to call out the
men he wished to coniu.t. He drove
home about dinner : :«e and went at

noon upon his < each reading and talk
ing to friends. None of his family were
at that time in Washington.
Senator Colquitt had taken the pre
caution to have bis servant, a colored
boy, who had waited upon him for

night.
It was 12 o’clock, the senator had
Slept little and arose from his bed to call
the boy. It was then the stroke came,
and his fine physique collapsed in a mo

heavily upon him. When the doctor ar

disease would prove serious, but he rap'-

Mrs. Colquitt arrived in Washington

By her faithful nursing and through
the watchful care of his physician, Dr.
Walsh, the senior was ready to leave

Once at home, waited on by the loving

tireless solicitude of his wife, Senator
Colquitt’s health rapidly improved, and
in a few weeks he was able to be wheel

President Cleveland Disposed to
Favor the Seigniorage Act.
WILL DECIDE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
- he death of Alfred H. Colquitt re
moves from the ranks of illustrious,
Georgians one of the foremost leaders of J w!
his time; a man who has been portion- S ken “ a ^
I particu
larly favored by his people, and whose
record presents nothing to be condemned
and mqch to elicit the lasting praise of
his fellow citizens who survive him.
Senator Colquitt was born in Monroe,
Walton eonnty, Ga., April 20, 1824.
and graduated at Princeton college, New
Jersey, in the class of 1H44. He studied
law-, and was admitted to the bar in
1845. He served os a staff officer with
the rank of major during the Mexican
war; was elected and served as a mem
ber of the Thirty-third congress, and
was a member of the Georgia legisla
ture in 1859, and was a presidential
elector for the state at large on the
Breckinridge ticket in 1860. He was a
member of the secession convention of
the state of Georgia.' He entered the
Confederate service as captain, and was
subsequently chosen colonel of the Sixth
Georgia Infantry, and served as a brig
adier general and was commissioned as
a major general. *~
In 1876 h*e was elected governor of the
of Georgia ferr four years, and was
3d ui ider a
re-elected under a new constitution for
two years. At the expiration of his
term as governor he was elected to tne
United States senate. He haB

critical condition, and at one time the
physicians had almost given up hope.
Her recovery was rapid, however, and
left no ill effects except a hesitancy in
her speech. The senator stood her ill

words of cheer and comfort to his wife

In March, 1893, Senator Colquitt was
Well enough to return to Washington.
He was anxious to resume his duties
there and impatient for congress to con

remained unchanged. In the summer
he came home again and went hack
once more to Washington to attend the
extra session of congress.
Last October he came back to Atlanta
again upon the adjournment of con
gress, and from then until his last trip
to Washington just.beforo Christmas he

Tho O’Nelt-Joy Contest Called Up for
Conslderatioo in the House.
Washington, March 23.—It is assert
ed in the treasury department that the
President has so far made up his mind
on the Bland silver bill that he is dis
posed to sign ii If he can convince him
self that no bnsinesa disturbance will
result from such action. It is to this
point that he is now addressing himself,
and which he will continue to keep in
mind until next week. His veto or sig
nature of the bill depends upon the solu
tion he arrives at of this question.
In the house a joint resolution was
passed appropriating $10,0<J0 for the
compensation of deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue to enforce the Geary law.
A resolution offered by Mr. Cummings
expressing regret at the death of Lonis
Kossuth, and requesting the speaker to
transmit the respectful sympathy of the
house to the family of the deceased, was
agreed to.
At 1:05 p. m. the Oneill-Joy contested
election case was called up, and the yeas
and nays were ordered on the question
of consideration.
No quorum voted and the case was
postponed until Tuesday. The Wbeat-
ley-Cobb cont.-sted case from the Fifth
Alabama district was then called np and
a resolution, declaring Mr. Cobb entitled
to a seat, was agreed upon without di
vision. After this the housfc went into
