refer Hougaard, who i* thought by
the polico to have been insane, killod
bimsclf, wifo and five ohildren at
Chicago Sunday night. Tho discov
ery was made by tbo polioo Monday.
Upon forcing open the door of IIuu-
gaard's residence they found tho whole
family asphyxiated. Hougaard had
evidently waited till all were asleep
and then turning on all the gas jets,
had calmly laid down and awaitod his
own death.
Hongaard was a Dane, living at 70"
Sixty-first streot. He wrote a letter to
friend some time during Sunday

In the house, Thursday, Mr. Liv
ingston, of Georgia, offered tho fol
lowing rosolulion:
“Be it resolved by (ho house of rep

is hereby requested to forthwith as-,
certain whothor Great Britain is ad

fore established with troops, police or
ordnance, and should the president
beoomo cognizant of the fact that
British military or polico force is ad
vancing to invade or reinforce, or
since the seventeenth day of Decem

outposts on tbo aforesaid 17th of De

December 17th is the date upon
which (lie president sent his Venezue
lan mossnge to tho house. Mr. Living
ston asked for unanimous oonsent to
rnako a brief explanation of the resolu
tion, but.Mr, lioutclle objected and tbo
egatos to tbo international maritime
conference of 1890. In presenting
some petitions from Norfolk, Va., in
favor of liberal a ppr opr Tat ion a-for sea
const defenses, Mr. Daniels called at
tention to the alarm wliioh manifestly
existed in the minds of tho people
along tho sea const in vtow of the ru
mors of war. He thought thoir appre
hensions of bombardment were exag

our sea ooasi cities should be adequate-

Mr. Baker, republioau, Kansas, offer

AFTER PHOSPHATE LAND9.
South Carolina Syndicate Negotiating
With Tennessee Capitalists.
A South Carolina syndicate is nego
tiating with a party of Nashville capi
talists for the purchase of largo tracts
of-phosphate lands in Hickman and
other counties in Tennessee. It is
said that $000,000 is the price to bo
paid, if the investigation of the prop
erty now in progress proves satisfac
tory*,.
Making it possiblo to change the rules
without previous notice; regulating
the privilege of the floor granted to
the representatives of the pri ss associ
ations, and striking out tho regula
tion governing tho printing of docu
ments that have been covered iu the
new printing law. At 3:15 p. ra., on
motion of Mr. Hendersffa, tho house
adjourned until Monday.
Monday, being the second of tl s
month, was, under the rules, set aside
for tho consideration of business re
lating to the District of Colombia.
Although the consideration of tho
house rules has not been completed, it
was decided to give the day to the Dis
trict of Columbia committee. Two
unimportant bills were passed, after
which the house weut into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
tho pension appropriation bill

coed with tho consideration of that bill
ucoording to the notioe previously
given, but ns Mr. Stowart insisted Mr,
Jones was compelled to yield. Mr.
Stewart in his remarks advocated the
passage of tbo Elkins resolution as
amended by Mr. llijtlor, of North
Carolinn, prohibiting the salo of any
bonds in the future except with tho
express oonsent of congress.
During tho morning hours in tho
senuto Friday, on motion of Mr. Voor-
hees, demoorat, Indiana, a resolution
was adopted appropriating $250 for
tho purclinso of a portrait of tho late
Allen G. Thurman. Mr. Pritchard,
republican. North Carolina, called up
tho amendments he offered to the rev-
nue bill to increase the duties on cer
tain kinds of clny, marble, iron ore,
tiinbor, livo stock, oeronlB, fruits,

dressing the senate thereon. Ho fa

lie denounced tho southern demo
crats for their rooreanoyto their own
section. Thcic tariff laws had brought
unexampled prosperity to New Eng
land manufacturers and bankruptcy
and ruin to tbo farmers and producers
of the south.
When Mr. Pritchard bad finished,
Mr. Hill, democrat, New York, chided
tlio former for tho inconsistency of
bis state. North Carolina, ho said,
occupied a peculiar situation in con
gress, and ho did not seo how bor peo
ple could bo gratified. Borne time ago
tho saino legislature in North Carolina
had eloeted two senatois by tho same
combination. A fow days ago one of
them (Mr. Jlutlcr) bad denounced the
domocratio party for being fulso to its
plodges of tariff reform. Today the
other end of the combination told tho
senate that ho favored tho ro-euaot-
ment of tho McKinley law.
Mr. White, democrat, California,
consumed tho remainder of tlio time,
before the expiration of tho morning
hour with a speech in favor of some
practical modifications of tho senato
tules. Hu did not miuco words in his
characterization of the rules and tho
“ancient fictions” they perpetuated.
The great evil which he especially in
veighed against was that which per
mitted interihiuaVilo dobato on any
question nnd placed it in tho power of
a single senator to bold tbo senate at
his mercy so long. Tlio senate then
adjourned until Monday.
Tho vico-president laid boforo tbo
senate Monday a letter from tho
secretary of the treasury in reply to a
resolution of inquiry presented by Mr.
Puffer as to whether one hundred mill
ions of dollars in gold had at any time
been set apart from other funds. The
secretary states this has never been
done, there being no prevision of law
authorizing it. Mr. Call, democrat,
Florida, submitted a number of peti
tions in regard to Cuba nnd a^ked
that they bo printed. Objection was
made by Mr. Platt,' republican, Con
ncctiout.
Illioiles’ Resignation Accepted.
Disymtclics received at London from
Cape Town, Africa, say that the resig
nation of Cecil Rhodes as prime min
ister of Cap* Colony has been accepted

Campos Has a "Word.
Tho Spanish ministor at Washing
ton lias roceivod a cablegram from
Madrid, stating tbfft Marshal Campos,
in a cablegram rcooivod there Wednes
day morning, says: “Tho'main body
of the enemy has marched to the pro
vince of Pinar del Rio. I have ad
vanced tho columns of Generals Vab
dez, Garoia, Navarro, Ecbngue and
Luquo to follow them. I have the
other columns on the railroad between
Havana and Batanbano. They will
take rations and proceed in a parallel
lino to occupy this lino from Muriel to
Artomiaa.
Tho columns of Pratz, Gulvis, Fort
Aldipoa nnd tho battalions of Valencia
and Enpanaare chitsing tho small bands
that are burning and committing otbor
depredutions. Thu situation in Cuba
from a {unitary point.of view remains
unchanged. Tho insurgents hnvo pro
ceeded west without daring to stop in.
any place, and are avoiding all en
counters. They are oontinunliy push
ed, although the results are not eatis-
factory on aocountof their destruction
of proporty. Nothing iB in danger,
and it is absurd to suppose that they
will pretend to attempt to Surround or
enter Ilavanna, wliou until tho pres
ent moment, they have not dared to
enter auy town of medium importance.
In tho department of tho oast, tho
principal villas, and ovon in Matanzas,
nothing of importance has occurred
in tho past few days, notwithstanding
that a largo number of troops have
been withdrawn from there. Tho in
surgents uro not BUpportod by tlio
population.”
Monroo Doctrine Discussed.
The sonata committeo on foreign
relations hold a spooial mooting Sat
urday morning for tho purpose of con
sidering tho Armenian and Cuban
questions. There are more important
matters before this committee this
session than thero have ever been in
many years,owing to many recent for
eign complications.
Tho discussion of tho Venezuelan
resolution brought out tho fact that
tho loophole left in tlio president’s
message sanctioning auy amicable
settlement mado between tho Ven
ezuelan government nnd Great Britain
by the cession of territory would
bn. aeqnirsced in by tbo United
Stntes, would bo probably accepted by
Great Britain as the best way out ot
tho difficulty. This probable resul
of tho difficulty was deplored, but tin
ground was taken that inasmuch as tin
president lmd committed tho United
Staton to this policy in tHis particular
case, wo could not protest. Tho Mon
roe dootrinc, ns it will bo affirmed by
congress, however, will, it is said, re
pudiato any Mich acquisition of terri
tory in tho future. Tho report ha
gained credence Hint tho British gov
eminent either has, or will, iu tin
near future, make an offer of £100,00f
for tho territory claimed liy Circa'
Britain nnd disputed by Venezuela.
Cuban nffairH have been plneoil ii
Iho hands of a subcommittee, eoDsist
ing of Seuators Sherman, Lodge and

A meeting of (his subcommittee wil

matter carefully considered. The sen

unanimous iu favor of helping the in

mitteo subsequently ri marked, tlier

The announoement sent out from

mature. His nomination for governor
and that o( Booth for Ueiltenanl .gov
ernor was decided oft. in .canons, but
after Judge Gnuby's arrival ho decided,
that ho did not Want the nomination. 1
Ho notified the fomtnittee appointed
to wait upon him to this effect.
When the oonvention met Thursday
afternoon A, B. Booth, of Ncif Or
leans, was nominated unanimously aud
enthusiastically for governor. A
strong effort was made to hnvo Judgo
Guuby accept tho nomination for at
torney general, but he declined. Tho

CARLISLE REPLIES
TO AN ENQUIRY REGARDING
THE GOLD RESERVE.
Snys There Is No Law Authorizing i»
Separata Fund.
Secretary Cnrlislo sent to the senate,
Monday, his reply to a resolution
adopted January .Tnnunry 3d asking
"if tho sum of $100,000,000 or any
part thereof hns nt any time sinoe the
establishment of the so-called gold ro--
serve actually segregated or set apart
from the other currenoy or money in
tho treasury department, in gold coin,'
or gold coin nnd certificates, or eilher,
for tho redemption of tho legal tondor
notes nud different forms of papor ......
money of tho government?” Also when “
and liow tiio gold reserve was estab
lished. Tho secretnry says:
"Tho senate is rasps otlully'l'nformoil
that at no timo since the establishment
of the so-oalloil gold reserve has tho
mm of $109,00(1,000 or ony other sum
been segregoted, or set apart, from tho
general cash iu tho treasury for ^tho
redemption of tbo legul tender notes
of the United SfateB or for the re
demption of any other form of papor
monoy for wliioh tho United Stutes is
liable. There is no provision of law
requiring a sepnrato fund or separata
account to bo kept nud nil mbuoys re- ...
ceived into tho treasury, from
whatever source, nre deposited
iu tho gouernl onBh. Tho fund
for the redemption of United States
notes was accumulated under authori
ty of tho act of January' 14, 1875,
whioh direoted tho secretary of tho
treasury to prepnro nnd provido for
such redemption on tho 1st day of
January, 1879. No specific sum wits
presoribod, but the secretary of tho
trqaBury was authorized' to use tho .
surplus revenues from time-lib timo
and to sell cprtniu descriptions' of ‘ "-a
bonds to an extent necessary to carry *
the act into full effect.
“In the - exoroiso of tho.discretion
thus conferred npon him, tho VrwS-etarw
sold fnr redemption purposes'in 1877" ’ -■
aud 1878 united Stake -f per cent aui
4J per coot, bonds tactile’ amokut of
$95,500,000 and deposited tho ■ pro- 1
needs—$00,000i000 in gold—in the - , *
general oath in tho trenRiiry. This,
with other gold which had been ‘ro- -
oeived as surplus revonpes, constitu
ted tho fund -prepared and provided 1 •
bv the secretary of W10 .treasury: for
the rsdorifption directed ifl the hot 'x>I
January 14, 1875.
"The existence of tho reserve fnrnl
was generally recognized from tho
tjmo of its establishment as above
stated and.ono of tho moaenres adopt
ed by the secretary of tho treasury to
prevent its unnecessary deplotiou was
tho discontinuance of tho issue of tho
gold certificates authorized by the uot
of Maroh 3, 1803. This not authorized
but did not direct such issue.
"Some inoonvouiotico resulted from
this discontinuance nnd by section 12
of tbo bank not of July 12, 1882, tbo
secretary was authorized nnd direoted
to recoivo dopoaits of gold ooiu and
bullion and to issue certificates thoro-
for, but it was providod ‘that tho sea-
rotary of the treasury bIirII suspond thd
issue of such gold certificates whenever
the amount of gold coin und gold bul
lion in tho treasury reserved for tho
redemption of United Statos notes
falls below one hundred million dol
lars.’
“No other rcfejonco to tlio resorvo
fund is contained in tho laws of tho
