Washington, Feb. 11.—For three hours lotay the ways and means commltte of the house was in eesslon. For two blurs of this time Secretary Carlisle km before It. He furnished the com mittee a copy of the contract made between the administration and the foreign syndicated, which recently ;? reed to purchase the new bond issue, rite contract was very short, but at the secretary’s request, a resolution L-as adopted by the committee that ton? of the procecd.ngs connected with liis document should be made public. Hie secretary was subjected to a run- ting tire of questions from the mem- jors present. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio vanted to know why these bonds were o be sold to a syndicate at a price 6 ;cr cent, below the quotation for the I s. The secretary replied that the ad ministration had made tho b"*t terms llh the syndicate it could. Being led if an attempt had been made to cure the sanction of the country upon , the secretary replied In the negative, 'bis precipitated a discussion in which jhe attitude of the tulmnistrat. was rerely criticised by both Republicans Democrats. Before leaving, S.cre- Carlisle, suggested that a propost- be reported from the committee relieve the treasury from redeem- if national bank currency and com- llin* the banks to establish an agen- tor the redemption of their own cur- The* effort of the proposition ouli be practically to restore the law it stood before 1874. Mr. Tiumney of Missouri offered a ilutlon that power be given to the n.st ration to Issue a 3 per cent. Id bond whenever such action be- necessary to protect the gold re in the treasury. It also provided at none of this money should be used r the current expenses of the govern- *? 1'ho resolution offered by Mr. Wilson West Virginia, the chairman of the mmittee, yesterday, looking to the 1 uince »f sixty-two millions of bonds ruble In gold, also came up for con trition. and It drew from Repre- native Cockran of New York an hntlc declaration that he would op- fe this proposition, and any other h .uoked lo the Indorsement of tile rnct with the foreign syndicate, -rs, Reed and Hopkins questioned ri-tary Carlisle at considerable rill regarding the necessity for an a .- of gold bonds. Old he think that h an Issue of bonds would stop the In of gold, and wot/.d not some of money be used to meet current ex- dltures? They also asked about the mated receipts of the government the remainder of the calendar year, the secretary r ally believed r - would be a surplus within the t* eight or ten months. The secre- ')' nnswereil these questions frankly, coming back again, to tho mios- "f contracting for the sale of tile **. ho Insisted that no favoritism been shown; that the administra ted consulted with leading Enst- bankers upon tile subject; had 'he best terms It could and would done better If possible. ! °r tills secretary's withdrawal the committee room, the various ■ IMona ponding were ordered to fr-rred to a sub-committee, which .report to the fuK committee later '• afternoon.

It was for this “ 'bat tie subsequently suggested *“ amendment be made to the la w which would relieve the treasury from redeeming Oho national bank notes and compelling the banks to es tablish an agency for the redemption of titielr currency. No Inconsiderable part at Secretary Carlisle's remarks had reference to this provision of the na tional bank law. upon which the mem bers seemed to desire the fullest Infor mation. and which he gave them in de tail. The suh-commtttce to -whom the different propositions were referred -was In session late in t.he Any Thee were in session an hour and’ it was anally agreed that a bill should be reported to the full oommiVttoj embody ing the president's recommendation f..r a 3 per cent, gold bond.

The question was asked if a minority re port would be made on the bill. Mr. Reed replied -Unt this was not his plait and t'hutt hie would favor a proposition looking to an Increase of revenue.

No progresa waa made on the post, office appropriation bill, although It was ostensibly under consideration most of the day. Ttte question of election fraude In Alabama waa discussed at much length by Mr. Allen (Populist )of Nebras- k:i, in continuation of his Bpeccn on Monday and wound up by the pre- scntatlon of a protest on the port of »■- two Alabama senators, Messrs. Morgan and Pugh, against the arraignment of their stats under such circumstances.

Mr. Allen’s speech, while the postal appropriation bill was up, waa two hours long and w»as devoted entirely to the Alabama election, when Mr. Morgan took the floor and said that his colleague (Mr. Pugh) and himself considered it their duty to place on the records of the senate a protest, which he proceeded to read. He began thus: “Tho undersIgnM s< n- ators, accredited t othls bldy by the state of Alabama, respectfully and earn estly protest against the proceedings in thiv senst© op the pirt o? the senator from Nebraska, who has occupied tho attention of the senate for nearly two days, in clear abuse of parliamentlary law, In disregard to the urgent necessi ties of the public business and In a dls. courteous assault on the rights of Ala bama as a state of the Union, and on the character of the government and peo ple.” The protest goes on to state that the subject was not, in the remotest degree, iv la van t, pertaining to the senate or any* thing in which It was particularly con cerned. Due respect for their state forbade tho the senators from Alabama from /*■- know!edging the rights of the sei(» / admitting Its Jurisdiction to hear * termlne a question relative to he ™ Cvr* ns one of the sovereign statef vJHVnst Union.

"Don't vou know there was nothing In tho paper that day about Bllxt?" asked Mr. Erwin. "No; 1 don't. I knew he was reading the paper; 1 was not." "On October 7, 1891, were you not out of your mind?" "1 can’t say as to that-” "Did you curse and sweor and threaten to kill your father and mother?" "Was that on Sunday?" "Yes." “Well; I had some trouble over money. Harry came In dragging father and ho lay down on the lounge. There was n shortage, but I explained it. Harry was trying to straighten It.” Harry smlloJ broadly at this point. "Yes, you smile," sakl the witness, "but you know It's so. 1 accused Harry of stealing the money from my flat—mind. I don’t say ho did It. but I accused him then and there. Mother spoke up and I told her that It oho could not trust her sonB, why did she raise such u litter of pups. Then I got mad and when Harry threatened to rip me up with a knife, I went to get my revolver and said I woud tet Harry wound me, - but If he did 1 would blow his brains out. My wife can swear to that-you need not shake yaur head, mother." cried the wltn-ss noticing his mother—"that was the first troublo I hod with my mother, and If It had not been for Harry I would never had had that trouble." During the examination th© witness said he did not blame Harry for trying to defend himself In tbe suit, but he did blame the family for letting Itself be brought into disgrace by helping him out.

Thero Will Be No Further Proceedings Till April or May. Chicago, Feb. 12.—The Deb* Jury waa discharged thU morning, and the case was set for a new trial on the first Monday in May. The physician attend ing Juror James Coe, whose Illness hat caused the hitch in the trial, this morn ing declared that the sick man would not be able to resume bis duties as a Juror for at least thirty da. Uroaacup then held a conference with the counsel of both sides, ami it was agreed to leave the matter to the court’s decision. When court finally convened at it o'clock Attorney G)e* defense moved that the Jury be dis charged, but that the eleven men then In tbe box be again empanelled and a twelfth Juror secured. To this the gov ernment objected, and the motion waa denied. Mr. Gregory then made a mo tion that the present trial be contin ue J. but that the taking of testimony be adjourned from time to time until I Juror Coe waa ready for duty. Mean while the court was to dispose of the Jury as he thought proper. Jud-'e Grosscup said that such a course would be impossible. To keep the eleven men In custody for thirty days, he said, would be an Infliction of unnecessary punishment. On the other band, it would be decidedly Improper on his part I to allow the men to mingle with the B iopie and then resume the hearing, e therefore denied the motion. The 1 trial was set for May to suit tbe con venience of the court. The Deha hits-ns corpus proceedings will occupy the 1 greater part of March and April. Judge I Grosecup will bold court at Peoria.
