"L. lrt declariius that there was no
flthorltv in to" tor the purol * asc ot
‘ ^n in preference to other coin,
laid before the senate and Mr.
L, too k advantage of It to reply
the attacks marie last Saturday up-
th( , president of the United States
-onnection with the contract for the
,un*aee «f ^ »>y the Issue ot 4
or cent- tt*rty-y«ar ‘bonds. Mr.
A entered into a defense ot the ac-
Hon ot the president ail'd showed that
he president had twice appealed to
onrress for aid In sustaining the credit
f the United Stakes; Omit congress had
at dumb and Irresponsive to this aip-
Jji nni .that the executive action was
Mated bv Ms duty under the laws.
I M3 entirely the fault of congress,
L 0 t the president if the government
ad to tav interest at the rate of 3 3-i
<s cent.. Instead of 3 per oent., and
I,d been Obliged to make a hard bar-
pin with tho money lenders.
" sir. Sherman made a strong argu-
1 <ri i" viv.'v that all heads peyttble
coin roust be paid In the coin of
tlrhest value. No secretary of the
uury wound dare in the dace e£ the
iiblic onlniFn undertake to pay bonds
irfifch the government had re-
red gold coin—to anything less vol
te than that coin.
The right of the bondholdes and tho
nity oit the bondholders to demand
e same kind of mondy as that which
[ey K ijj was clear and plain os the
rht of day. As to finding fault with
e president for this tote contract, Mr.
•man said that the president had
' ini whatever to do with the fl
eets ot the government. That eub-
.-ct has not tr.'en entrusted to his
jf-rlng. but that of the secretary of
■ treasury. The president had no
,.re right in tho matter than he bad
• occupy the scat of a senator in the
note chamber.
'Hut when you talk about a thlrty-
tr 4 per cent, bond Issue you are
illns with an arttcle available In
■>rv market in the world. That bond
.nnlnz thirty years nt 4 per cent,
ouhl bo sold In England within sixty
ivs from this time at 120. I say that
think that that contract was Improvi-
mt. But It is not going to break the
tilled States. It Is not going to hn-
llr our credit or affect our liabilities.
believe that it was a hard bargain
Hven by men whose sendees were
et uCCCSSirV lit iJ;? nom^jlaMana nf fh*
nn. All our exnerlenoe convinces me
at no bonds should be placed on the
irk'-t without being first offered <0
ie ric >nlof the United States. They
ild find a way to obtain the gold,
re.sonable proposition had been
for each of these clwsea of bonds
.tart, men of New York. Boston.
Itotebhga and Chicago would find
Mt.r them. Those 4 per cent, thlrty-
ir binds would have brought 420 In
i. That Is my Judgment. I have
1 ooe word of rritlcUmi for the presl-
nt or the secretary of the treaoury.
' ive no desire to mike factious
islll'gl. I do think tt was a faulty
min. but we cannot argue It and
v» to comply wJlh It, because, un-
ubtedlv. the secretary' of the trra-
ry bad the right to mako the bar-
|n. And if he has made a bargain,
must do as other poolplo do who ha vo
maelves or by tibclr agreoment made
Uul bargain—suornlt and bear It as

NO HIGHER BEER TAX.
The Increase Not Needed—The Work
of Printing New Bonds.
Wellington, Felb. 18.—The Mil to In
crease the tog on beer Is probably dead.
It -was referred to a sub-committee of
the house committee on ways and
means ot which Mr. MoMlIHn of Ten
nessee Is chairman. ■ The favorable
showing made by Secretary Carlisle
satisfies Mr. MoMIllln that the tax Is
not needed, and it Is understood, there
fore, that no further action will be ta
ken upon the measure.
Secretary Carlisle, late tM» evening,
gave orders to proceed with the print
ing of 862,400,000 4 per cent, bonds on
Mum Waohter, the stenographer of Mr.
Odell, your attorney, .who was In your
cell the day before Christmas. Have
"No, sib I have not," 11118 the prompt
raply.
The defense then called Thomas Wa
terman to the stand to prove »n alibi
for llay-ward tho afternoon of Decem
ber 3. Waterman was .with Hayward
all day and detailed tho various places
where they were together. He was to
see Miss U.ng and meet Hayward at
Fisher’s cigar store, corner Fourth
street and Hennepin avenue.
“Well, -what did you tell ilayivanl
■when you returned'!”
'I told Harry that 1 thought every
thing -was an right That 1 thougnt
Miss Glng was sincere."
Moggie Wachter, the star witness for
the defense, told her story this after-
noon, and the true Inwardness of the
Hayward defense la coming to the sur
face. From Increasing evidence that
Adry was in some way connected with
the murder the belief la gaining credence
that both men were mixed up In the
plot Bllxt's remark that Adry said to
him, "Be sure you bring the Iron,” gains
fresh significance every day ns the cnee
unfolds. There Is certainty expressed in
some quarters that the state la aware ot
Adry’s complicity, but has promised him
Immunity for his testimony against Har
ry. In thla event the detenu,will be
able to prov* Its alibi for Harry Key
word, and that It was Adry who met
Bllxt on Kenwood Boulevard.
When Miss Wachter was called to the
stand she looked indignant, and her
looks did not belle the foot. When asked
as to &e statement that Bllxt had ac
cused Adry of being an accomplice In the
murder, she started to talking at a rapid
rate. In answer to the queslons, she

THE RECENT GOLD LOAN.
Inft.de Ifacta From the Treasury Given
to the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 18.—A statement
prepared In tho treasury department on
the ooevi 1 tltm of the gold reserve In
the treasury and the necessity for tho
recent bond sale to the Belmont-Mor-
gan syndicate, was made publlcproper-
ljela.vare. Tn his remarks to tu
ate ho made use of some of the figures,
but did not burden the senate by read
lng ail of the facts.
The statement, ns hold by him In
his hand, set forth toat on February 2.
there was In the treasury:
Gold bullion, 843,938,868; gold coin,
361,320,816; gold certificates, 315,760.
Tills >rt tho net coin and bullion, only
336,670,516, gold certificates being In cir
culation against the remainder. Of
the coin, only 39,700,334 was in New
York, -where alone redemption of
United States notes could be made in
the East. It was on Wednesday, Jan
uary 30, that Sub-Treasurer Jordan at
Now York telephoned the treasury
here that he “thought he could hold
out untdl Saturday," or. In other words,
that If the 19.000,000 gold coin was with
drawn, aa then Seemed probable, the
government would have to decline re
deeming United States notes and treas
ury notes in gold.
From December 1, 1894, to February
2, the withdrawals of gold amounted to
3S0.786.302, of which only 336.862,369 was
exported, leaving 343.000,000 hoarded, or.
In other words, as the statement puts
It, "the citizens of the United States
had lost faith In the government to
continue to pay gold tor its notes, and
a run on the treasury had commenced."
it was In this condition of affairs
that tho Morgan-Belmont syndicate
agreement was entered Into. For four
days th'- treasury officers tried to get
a reduotlon of 3 6-8 ocnls Interest, but

Thereafter Ml*a Wachter testified that
Bllxt did not mention Adry Heyward's

— ”■ ‘ When asked whether she had been
threatened by attorneys In tba esss. Miss
Wachter replied
••I should think I had.' 1
She then told of the viatt of Sir. Hell
leet Saturday. The attorney hod flat-
_ . . -- . tered and threatened her. He had at-
a largo supply of which t* on | tacked her character and threatened her
with loes of employment. 8he had aleo
been threatened by the attorney
Bllxt, and. In abort, b*r Ilf* bail been
made one of misery. She continued:
"Mr. Hall came to my aliter'e at tan-
gram about midnight Sunday night, lie
knocked at the door three times. My sla

for the state.' My sister said he could
not see me, ai)d I met him again the next
day. I went Into the parlor with him.
He Mid lots of nice things to me and
•oft-soaped me. Oh. how he talked.”
During her denunciation of Mr. Hall
Miss Wachter looked pointedly at him.
She mocked his manner nt speech, and
threw the court room Into epee ms of
laughter.

ndmlralble plan of sending personal
representatives here to see for them
