TO CHECK CARLISLE.
Another Bond Issue Will Meet a
Determined Resistance.
A JOINT RESOLUTION PREPARED.
Mr. Bailey, of Texas, Is Also Ready to
Spring BIS Fortner Resolution Question¬
ing the Secretary's Authority to Issue
Bonds to Meet Current Expense* and Be¬
lieves It Will Pass.
Washington, May 80.—The free sil¬
ver Democrats and the Populista are
getting ready for a vigorous protest
when Secretary Carlisle offers more
bonds for sale, M he will have to do in
a few weeks. Mr. Talbert has prepared
a joint resolution which reads:
"The secretary of the treasury is here¬
by enjoined from a further iasue of
bonds, and all laws and parts of laws
whatsoever on the statute books or in
appropriation bills giving him authority
to do so, either directly, by implication,
inference or otherwise, are hereby re¬
pealed.” with this
Coupled ia the following
mandate: •, .
“The secretary of the treasury is here¬
by directed, in order to meet the pres¬
ent pressing need of the treq*ury for
money, to at once Coin the silver seign¬
iorage in the treasury cash.” and turn it into
available treasury *
also Representative bring forward Bailey, of Texas, wili
again his resolution
questioning Secretary Carlisle’s author¬
ity to issue bonds to meet current ex¬
penses in case another .bond Issue is de¬
cited termined much on. The Bailey resolution ex¬
comment when the recent
issue of *50,000,000 bonds was made,
but failed to have any effect in check¬
ing the issue, as the bonds were on the
pilot market his before resolution Mr. Bailey through was able to
the judici¬
ary committee and get it before the
house.
Now, however, Mr. Bailey is pre¬
paring to move before another bond is¬
sue is undertaken. His resolution is on
the calendar, and he says he will en¬
deavor to call it up on the first intima¬
tion that official action is being taken on
another sale of bonds. There have been
reports that the rapid disappearance of
gold at would early necessitate date, but another Mr. Bailey bond
issue an
will not move on these unofficial re¬
ports. He says the resolution may be
changed and strengthened by being
made a joint that resolution, and he expresses
confidence both the senate and
house will pass it if it can be brought
to a vote.
IN CONVENTION.
Georgia Sunday School Workers Con¬
vened In Atlanta.
Atlanta, May 30. — The Georgia
State Sunday School association, 200
strong, composed of earnest, consecrated
and faithful workers, is now in session
In this city at the First Methodist
church.
The opening meeting was an interest¬
ing prelude to the work of the conven¬
tion. A large amont of enthusiasm was
manifested, and the delegates seemed
to be thoroughly interested in the scope
and purposes of the convention.
The meeting was called to order by
the president of the association, Mr.
John M. Green. Mr. Green is one of
the most active Sunday school workers
in the country, and much of his time
has been devoted to this employment,
although a prominent and active busi¬
ness man with large commercial inter¬
ests in the city.
Dr. E. H. Barnett, the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, in a fervent
and earneat prayer invoked the blessing
of God to rest upon the convention
throughont its entire session, and to
make it a strong influence for good in
the commnnity.
BY HIS OWN CLUB,
Wairlnf Russell Is Exonerated of the
Charge of Political Corruption.
Savannah, May 30.— The report of
the committee appointed by President
W. W. Osborne, of the Citizens’ clnb,
to investigate the chargee against Mr.
Waring Bussell that he had attempted
to barter the nomination of the clnb for
the senatorship from this district to Mr.
B. D. Uuerard for $5,000, was read to
the club and was unanimously adopted.
It exonerates Bussell of the charge
made, and also vindicates him from all
chargee of improper conduct. In refer¬
ence to the conversation with Mr. Gue-
rard in which $5,000 was mentioned,
the finding was that Mr. Bussell simply
mentioned it as the probable amount
that would be required to pay the ex¬
penses of Mr. Guerard'a nomination and
election.
The report also exonerates Mr. Gue-
rard from charges of auy improper con¬
duct. The report was made within the
sanctum of the club. No outsiders
were allowed to attend.

arrest on forgery. The
company, by cutting away a small
piece of its advertising contracts, con¬
verted them into promissory notes and
collected money twice. They have made
thousands of dollars in Chicago alone by
the practice, and it is supposed much
more outside of it.

There is a movement on foot by sev¬
eral hundred idle mechanics to march
to the Pratt mines and to camp there,
so that in case there is a conflict be¬
tween the miners and militia they can
aid the strikers. These reports, when
known to contain the essence of truth,
made the situation look more gloomy.
The strikers are not at all put out by
the presence of the militia, and are
straining every effort in order to make
the strike more effective,, realizing that
the cutting off of the supply will do more
in this line than anything else. They are
trying to prevent the importation of
negro will labor, and it is feared that this
bring about a race riot.
