Special to the Recori>-Un-iox. San Francisco, Jan. 15.—At a late hour this afternoon news of a fatal rail- road, accident on the line of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, between Duncan's Mills and Cazadero, was received in this city. As the engine was crossing Austin Creek last evening the bridge gave away. The engine rolled over in the stream be- low, a distance of forty feet, drowning Keven men. The men were on their way to a washout along the road. The only man saved was Conductor Brown, whose telegram stated that ho preserved his life by jumping. The dead are: Frank Hart o; Cazadero; Sabine, station agent; Col- lister, fireman; Briggs, engineer; liice. iiremer and Gould. Ip to the time the dispatch was sent but one body, that ol Hart, which was picked up half a mile from the wreck, had been recovered. The creek has reached the highest mark i known in years, and in consequence the j bodies of the others will be undoubtedly i carried out to sea. As soon as the news of the accident at Austin Creek reached this city a United I Press representative went to the othce of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, where one of the oilicers of the road stated that so far the bodies of Collister and Bremer were the only ones recov- ered. All on the engine were precipitated into the "water and drowned. The con- ductor was walking ahead of the locomo- tive, which was proceeding very slowly, tho weather being stormy. To this fact \ the conductor probably* owes his life, j The Superintendent of the road is now | on his way to the scene of the accident, j and no eli'ort will be spared to recover the j remaining bodies. Hart was v local artist of some promise j and has a brothes^ connected with the Ji'tilj/ Examiner here. This is the first | accident on the lino in which lives have been lost since it has been in operation. EVANS AND MOUKELL. An Officer's Story Which Finds Little Credence. Fresno, Jan. 15. —Sheriff Scott and posse, who left on a special engine for Goshen Saturday night, returned rather crest-fallen. They were summoned to that locality by Marion Childers, who had been sent down by the Sheriff's oiiice to spy around in that neighbor- j hood. Saturday evening Childers sent \u25a0 up word that lie had been held up by two j men, who shot at him and killed one of j his horses, adding that he believed the men to have been Evans and Morrell. It now appears that Childers, who is con- i Bideredavery unreliable officer, punched ! holes through his buggy cover with a stick, ana shot the horse himself, in order to pose as the hero of an encounter \u25a0with the lamous bandits. The officers here are much disgusted, and are in a mood to give Childers a drubbing, if they catch him. llu wisely skipped be- Jore the oflicers had quite come to the oouciusion that he had fooled them. The remainder of the Sheriff's posse came down irom tho mountains last night, but some of them will probably resume the hum in a day or two. All trace of the bandits has been lost. The return of all officers is criticised, as it is believed that a small posse should have remained behind to beep a lookout. ROBBBB KKLLY. Ho Will Have to Stand Trial for His Crime In Smn llernardino. Sax FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.— Judge Belcher to-day, in the case of Frank J. Kelly, wanted for robbery in San i'.er- uardino County, discharged the writ of habeas corpus ami remanded Kelly to the custody of tho Sheriff. The robbery Kelly committed Was a particularly ag- gravated one. A few weeks ago he went into a house in San Bernardino and, {hid- ing Aggie Abbott there, presented a pistol and demanded her money. She had no | money, but he saw two valuable rings on j her fingers, and witnout waiting for her j to give them to him he brutally two them from her hand. After his escape he \u25a0went to his own house, near at hand, and when the Sheriff came along Kelly got j him into a corner and, pressing a pistol i to his abdomen, told him to stay there ! until he (Kelly) returned. That was the last seen of him until he was arrested in this city, on last Friday. DISABLED THE MACHINERY. Work of Unknown Parties on a ! Dredaer >rar YV;ikelic:<l. Stockton, Jan. !.">.— Some time last j night some persons boarded the dredger Rough and Beady, which is at work in the San Joaquin River near Wakelield, ! si\ miles from this city, and disabled tho i machinery by reason ef the removal of a number of bolts and also the collar of tho steam-pump. Six people were on board the dredger—Jive men and a woman who cooked ior them, 'lho dredger was about a hundred feet from the bank of the river, and was accessible only by means of a small boat. Following ia \u25a0 latter found in a conspicuous place in the en- gine-house. It was addre^ed to Engineer Crawford. "Crawford, we have killed your engine for hiring Italians. The woman on board saved 3-ou Irom getting blown up. Dis- charge the dagoes, or wo will blow you up. Drsdqk&man." There is but one Italian employe'i on the dredger, and he is a Large stockholder, j The others are Americans. A HOT MILL EXPECTED. Juck McAulllTe a:sd Jim Hyan Will Meet iv the ltinjrTo-Nijjlu. San 1-kan'lsco, Jan. 11.—Jack Me- AuiiU'e, lightweight champion, and Jim: Kyan, the Australian, meet in a six- i round contest to-morrow night. Both nun are in excellent condition ibr the mill, and 1 an exciting exhibition will ; surely be given. McAuliffe is no; given to talking much, but is confident of vie- : tory. lie claims to be acquainted with the Australian's siyle ol fighting, having boxed with him in public. While he ad- mits that he may not be able to put his man out, he claims thai there is no doubt that he will get the decision. Kyan, on tie other hnnd, declares that there i> no doubt but that he will win, and do tue ' trick easily at that. He cannot figure how- j .. lightweight can do him, a big middle- ; weight. If he does not gather in the coin | to-morrow night ho says he will retire trom the ring. With two nieu imbued | with such ideas, it is evident that a hot ! mill will result. FIELD TRIALS. Ualn Causes tlie Postponement of the \ Sport lor a Da 3". Saunas, Jan. I*s.—This was a day of disappointment to the field-trial men, but a great one for this section, which needed rain. A storm began here about 5 a. v, and continued steadily all day, making it impossible to start tue dogs on the trials J to-daj'. Jt is clear to-night, however, and as it never rains long here at a time, the prospects are good for pleasant weather the remainder ot the week. In fact, to- j day's rani will improve the condition of \ the lieid-trial grounds. A number more vi visitors arrived to-day, including Paris I Kilburn ex-Surveyor of the Port; J. "M. JhSasftford of \ acaville, Judge C. N. j Post oi Sacramento and other sports- I ineu. Attorney-General Hart also arrived j this evening. During Mieir eulorced He-| j tention in town to-day the visiting spot tq- j men had an excellent opportunity i Ludt ! tue hospitality ol tne good citizens oi sa- liaati, and their reputation in that respect was luily sustained. At ;t meeting of the Executive Commit- tee of the 1- ieid Trial Club to-iii;,'lii <'. N. | I'osi of Sacramento and Andrew Jackson ! ofSan Francisco were selected to act as I | judges in place of K. T. \ andervort and j i D. M. i'yle, with J. M. kilgantf as alter- nate. The dogs drawn to go in tho Derby were Crittenden liobinsou's black pointer dog Rex against A. P.

Ker- j \u25a0 IcofiPs black, white and tan setter bitch Betsy Mark. MOTHEB AND CHILDREN DEAD. Mysterious Case ot Poisoning Reported Irom san Jaclnto. Sax Diego, Jan. 15.—A mysterious j case of poisoning is reported from San j Jacinto. On Saturday last Mrs. Jennie j ! Barnett, a widow with two children, one : ! a boy of 4, and a girl of 8 years, called on j Dr. Toland for medical assistance. The ; J doctor discovered symptoms of poison- ing and informed the woman, who was greatly surprised. Yesterday neighbors called at the house and found the little boy and girl dead in bed, and the mother ! dying, though she iived until last night. ' There is no clue as to where or Irom ; whom the poison came, but it was cvi- \ dently of a slow nature, as it took three days to have a iatai effect. Mrs. Barnett said the first symptom was a failing Of ; the eyesight. Gradually the muscles ' were paralyzed and then came un- ' consciousness and death. The contents of the stomachs will be analyzed. Many Chickens owned by Mrs. Barnett have jdied and ihe police are investigating that i clue, thinking maybe the chickens had ! been poisoned by unknown parties, and | the family in turn poisoned by eating ! the chickens, but the doctors say tho i chickens were evidently poisoned" from I eating the vomit of the deceased family. ! THE GREAT YORBA RANCH. A Suit to Foreclose a Mortgage on tho Property. San Diego, Jan. 15.—Among the pas- sengers arriving on the steamer Pacheio from Enseuada this evening were H. C.

The ranch was sold j some years ago to one Domingoni, who agreed to pay $5,000 the first year. .>"»,<aiu tho second and $Iu,OUO the third, giving a mortgage on the property to secure pay- ment. Messrs. Foster and Yorba claim that the Colonization Company purchased Domingoni's interest and obtained pos- sessiou, but that the terms of the sale were not complied with, and that there- lore the mortgage should be foreclosed. TLe property is now of much greater value, and the case will no doubt bo stuo- bornly fought on both sides. C. W. CUOCKEK ESTATE. An Order for a Partial Distribution of the Property. San Francisco, Jan. la. —Judge Levy has made an order for a partial distribu- tion of the estate of the late Clark VY. Crocker. Tho estate is to be distributed as follows: Seven-twelfths to Julia SA.

IMPOIU'ANT KULING. A Decision Which Practically Nullifies j a Chain Gaujr Ordinance. San Diego, Jan. 13.—A decision was handed down in the Superior Court to- day which is of general importance, mas- j much as it practically nullifies the ordi- nance creating chain gangs. Arthur j Bosnian was taken before Judge Tor- rance on a writ of habeas corpus, issued at the instance of Bosnian's attorneys, \\ ho in the petition recite that Bosnian was some weeks ago arrested in this city on a ( charge of vagrancy aud sentenced by Po- I lice Judge Dudley to six months' impris- ! onment, with an additional sentence of ri tho chain gang during his incar- | ceration. Ihe release of Bosnian was prayed for on the ground that the Police t <.urt had no authority to sentence the prisoner to more than confinement.

They will have to be thor- oughly overhauled, new water tanks put in, and her machinery patched up before , she can again go to sea. The vibration i of the machinery was so great toward the i end that the hull was slightly strained | and the vessel is leaking a little. llii;u Water In Oregon. Portland, Jan. i-~>. —A continuous heavy rain for forty-eight hours has | raised tho Willamette River and its trib- j utaries, but thus far tne damage has been small. The river at this point is about seventeen feet above low water mark, and an additional rise of two or three feet is expected, though the rain ceased this morning. In this city the lower docks are submerged, causing the wholesalers some expense in moving goods to higher places. At Eugene the channel oi the river has changed, causing serious dam- age to the water power of tho Eugene MillCompany. Sullivan AVIII Have to Ilantr.

Special to the IlEcoKn-Uviox. Washington, Jan. 15.—The following letter was to-day forwarded by Secretary Carlisle to Senator Voorhees, Chairman ! of the Finance Committee of the Senate: Treasury Department, I Washington, Jan. li, LS(J4. j Hon. D. ii. Voorhees, Chairman Com- mittee on /\u25a0'm iarc, United States Senate— Dkab Sib: In compliance with your verbal request, 1 have the honor to sub- mit for consideration of tho Finance Com- mittee of the Senate statements showing the actual condition of the Treasury on the liith day of the present month, and tiio estimate of receipts and expenditures during the remainder oi'this month and the month of February. It will be seen from the statement that there is urgent necessity for such immediate action as ! wiil replenish the coin reserve, and en- able this department to continue the pay- ment of public expenses and discharge the obligations of ihe Government to pensioners and other lawful creditors. When my annual report was prepared, it was estimated tn;is the expenses daring tho current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to tho amount of about S-5.000,- --000, and 1 asked of Qpngress authority to issue and sell bonds or other forms of ob- ligations to an amount not exceeding .'-.,i>,(m o.i> (>, bearing a low rate of interest and having a reasonably short time to run, to enaulo the Secretary of the Treas- ury to supply such deficiencies as might occur in the revenues. The estimate then made was based upon the assumption that the worst effects of our financial dis- turbances had already been realized, and there would be a substantial increase in tho revenues for tho remainder of tho year. "While it was not believed tho de- liciency then existing would be supplied by increased revenues in the future, it was hoped that no additional deficiency would occur, but the receipts and ex- penditures up to the 14th oi the present month show that the estimated deficiency of $28,000,000 at the dose of tho year was much too low. The actual receipts and expenditures during each month of tho year and tho monthly deficiencies are as follows: 1893. Receipts. Expend'ea. Excess.

If the same average monthly deficien- cies should continue, the total differences between the receipts and expenditures on the 3Uth of June next will be £78,167,- --bll.

Total liabilities. $132,377,889. It will appear from this statement that | the coin reserve has been reduced to $7 1. 108,] 19, anil it is evident irom the con- dition of the treasury that the department will have no means to defray the ordi- nary expenses of tne Government unleHs i a large part of tho payments hereafter oe made out of that rand, if this is done, the coin reserve will be reduced by the Ist of February to about $66,601,864—a sum wholly inadequate lor tho purpose lor which it. was created. Un account of this critical condition of tho treasury, 1 have considered it my doty, in addition to the earnest recom- mendations Contained in my annual re- port, to appear twice before your com- mittee, and, altor a full explanation of tho situation, urge prompt legislative action on this subject. With permission of the committee, 1 have prepared and presented for considerationu biil which, it promptly passed, would, in my opinion, meet all the requirements of the situation by pro- viding the necessary means for dolray- ing tno public expensed and replenishing the coin reserve to such an extent as to assure the maintenance of the parity of all forms of I lined Mates currency. While this proposed measure of relief has not yet been disposed of or consid- ered by your committee, great differences of opinion which are known to exist in both branches of Congress concerning the propriety of granting additional or amended authority to issue bonds in any form or for any purpose, rentier it doubt- ful whether new legislation upon tho subject can be secured in time to provide means which are imperath ely demanded in order to preserve the credit aud honor of the Government. The authority to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of maintaining specie oayments was ex- pressly conferred upon the Secretary of i the Treasury by the Act of January 14, 1875j out has not been exercised since K'.i. and on account of the high rate ot inter- est provided for and the length of tuno such bonds would have to run, I have not been satisfied that such an emergency has heretofore existed a< would clearly justify their issue, but the necessity for relief at this time is so urgent and tho prospect of material improvement in the financial condition of the Government so problematical, that unless authority to ; issue and sell shorter bonds or other ob- j ligations bearing a lower rate of interest than that speciried in the exist- ing law, is granted by Cougre^s i at a very early day, I should leel • constrained by a sense of public duty to exercise the power already conferred to the extent at least of providing an ade- quate coin reserve. If this action should be taken, Congress ought, nevertheless, ! to provide promptly for the deficiency in ' the revenue during the current fiscal | year, and 1 will Irom time to time advise yuur committee of the condition of the treasury, in order that the subject may receive due consideration. I have the honor to be, yours very respectfully, J. d. Carlisle, Secretary. The House of Representatives, by a rule adopted some time ago, has dedi- cated all its time until tbe '2!»th of the I present month to consideration of the Wilson tariff bill, and therefore it would have been impossible for the Secretary of the Treasury to procure any legislation in that body before that time, and for that reason Carlisle thought it necessary to make application first to the Committee on Finance of the Senate, which he hopes will act upon the measure in time to pro- vide the necessary means for the Govern- ment. The bill referred to in the foregoing letter, is as follows: "An Act to amend Section 3 of an Act to provide for the resumption of specie payments, approved January 14, 1875. "lie it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives, that Section o of an Act to provide lor the resumption of specie payments, approved January 14, 1875, be and tbe same is hereby so amended that in lieu of descriptions of bonds therein authorized, the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to issue from time to time, as ho may deem necessary, and in su:h form as he may prescribe, coupon or registered bonds of tbe I iiited States in denominations of $Jf> and multiples thereof, redeemable in coin at tho pleasure of the United States, after years from date, bearing inter- est at a rate oi' not exceeding •'> per cent. per annum, payable quarterly, in coin, and sell the same at not less thau par in coin, and tho proceeds of such bonds -shall be held and used to maintain the parity of all forms of money coined or issue i by the United States, but the Sec- retary of the Treasury is hereby author- ized to use from time to time such part of such proceeds as may be necessary to supply tbe deficiencies in public revenues during the fiscal year ISH4. "Section ii. A sum sufficient to carry the provisions of this Act into effect is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropri- ated." CON G RESSION AL. Tho House Judiciary Committee Op- posed to the Issue of Bonds. Washington, Jan. 15. —Bailey of Texas to-day introduced the following resolu- tion in the House: "Mesolved, That it is the sense of the House that tho Secretary of tho Treasury has no authority under the existing law to issue and sell bonds of the United States except such as is conferred upon him by an Act approved January 14, 1875, an Act to provide for the redemption of specie payments, and that money derived from the salo of bonds issued under that Act cannot be lawfully applied to any purpose except those specified therein." The resolution was referred to the Ju- diciary Committee. The committee is understood to bo against tho issue of bonds. Mitchell of Oregon to-day introduced in the Senate a bill for the protection of the fisheries of Alaska, its object being to prevent the destruction oi the salmon lisheries. The President's message conveying the Hawaiian correspondence sent to the blouse on Saturday was delivered to the Senate while in executive session to-day. It was not permitted to interfere with the consideration of Horn blower's confirma- tion. Lane of Illinois has introduced in the House the following bill: That all con- tracts for tho payment of any sum of money, whether in gold, silver or coin, may bo discharged by any money which is by law legal tender for the payment of debts when the contract matures. PUBLIC POSITIONS. Far Western States Get Nothing Like Tholr Share. Washington, Jan. 15.—1n accordance with the provisions of the last appropri- ation bill, the latest Blue Book, contain- ing a list of persons holding positions in the various departments, gives also the States from which they came. Houck of Tennessee has made up a table therefrom, showing the numbers employed from the various States and the number such States are entitled to in proportion to the population, as shown by the census of LB9O. The table shows that the East and the States near the Capital have more than their just proportion, while the West and South lall short of their share. Houck suggests that the Civil Service Commission make no more certilicates from states having an overplus of office- holders, and that their number be speed- ily reduced. It is likely the amendment will bo inserted in the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial appropriation bill, directing the appointment of officers be equalized according to the population. In the following, taken Irom the tables, the first figures show the number of office-holders, from the States mentioned, and the second the number to which they are entitled on the population basis: No. of No. en- officeholdcrs. titled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Chairman Me- Creary of the House Committee on For- eign Affairs, and Representative Holman of Indiana conferred this morning as to a proDOSition which would be submitted to Congress for the solution of tho Hawaiian problem. After the talk McCreary said: "The solution to the question will un- doubtedly be ready to submit to the ' House before January 29th." Holman said: "1 will not present my Hawaiian resolution, lor the members of tho Foreign Affairs Committee are acting very fairly in trying to solve the prob- lem. ' >ne thing is certain, the question I of restoring Liliuokalani to the throne for I all time is abandoned, not only in execu- i tive but Congressional circles.

Two Express Trains Collide In a Heavy Fog, Telescoping: Two Cars, Both Full of Passenaers, Many of Whom Were Crushod to Death or Terribly Mangled — List of the Killed and Injured. Special to the Record-Uniox. New York, Jan. 15.—An accident oc- curred this morning at the Hackeusack bridge on the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Road, near Jersey City. Two passenger trains collided with fatal re- sults. The collision was between the Dover and Grange express trains and was caused by a log. The two cars were telescoped. -Nine people were killed and thirty-seven injured. The Dover express left Roseville at 8 a. m., followed four minutes later by the regular commutation train. Ap- proaching Hackensack bridge, the engi- neer of the express slowed up, the fog preventing him irom seeing the signals. The commuters'train following did not slow up and crashed into the rear of the express, completely wrecking the last two cars. Both were full of passengers, who were crushed to death or horribly mangled. The engineer of the commutation train is missing, and supposed to be among the killed. The most authentic account shows that nine people were killed, while the in- jured number thirty-seven. The dead are as follows: William Gur- geson, Summit; William R, Adams, Sum- mit; William Turner, Busking Kidge; Edward Kiusey, Barnardsvilie; John rish, .Summit; Walter R. Turiugton, Short Ilili; John M. Rimmer, Summit; P. J. Ryan, Milburn; Edwin Morrell, Summit. The injured are as follows: David Hoffman, South Orange; Arthur Ardner, Short Hill, seriously; Theodore F.

Engagement Between a Rebel Gun- boat and Land Forces in Brazil. Rio Janeiro, Jan. 15.—The engage- ment between the rebel vessel Guana- bara, supported by the guns of Cobras Island, on Saturday, and the Government positions along the shore, was very hot while it lasted. The Guanabara had the best of the light, running closo in shore and making very effective use of her guns, which caused the Government forces to retire from their positions, leav- ing a number of dead and wounded be- hind, l'eixoto's officers, while the Guanabara was within easy distance of the shore, suddenly made an attack upon her by means of a number of small boats tilled with troops, but this movement was unsuccessful, as the Guanabara opened such a deadly fire that she easily beat oil' the boarding parties, killing a number of the soldiers who manned tho small craft. It is difficult to get at the facts in regard to the number killed and wounded. The rebels claim that at least a hundred of Feixoto's troops were killed or wounded during the attack upon the Guanabara by small boats, and probably as many more during the rebel ship's attack upon the laud batteries. On the other hand, re- ports say the losses are trivial, arid the insurgent reports of the number of killed and wounded grossly exaggerated. PANIC IN A SCHOOL.

Washington, Jan. 15.—The Cranch public school, East Washington, was thrown into a panic .this morning, when Grovor Mummer, a child seven years old, was seen nourishing a pistol he brought from home unknown to his parents.

No one was injured in the scramble of the children to get outside. Starvation in Manitoba.

Special to the Recori>-Un-iox.San Francisco, Jan. 15.—At a late
hour this afternoon news of a fatal rail-road, accident on the line of the NorthPacific Coast Railroad, between Duncan'sMills and Cazadero, was received in thiscity. As the engine was crossing AustinCreek last evening the bridge gave away.The engine rolled over in the stream be-low, a distance of forty feet, drowningKeven men. The men were on their wayto a washout along the road. The onlyman saved was Conductor Brown, whosetelegram stated that ho preserved his lifeby jumping. The dead are: Frank Harto; Cazadero; Sabine, station agent; Col-lister, fireman; Briggs, engineer; liice.iiremer and Gould. Ip to the time thedispatch was sent but one body, that olHart, which was picked up half a milefrom the wreck, had been recovered. Thecreek has reached the highest mark iknown in years, and in consequence the jbodies of the others will be undoubtedly icarried out to sea.
As soon as the news of the accident atAustin Creek reached this city a United IPress representative went to the othce ofthe Northern Pacific Railroad Company,where one of the oilicers of the roadstated that so far the bodies of Collisterand Bremer were the only ones recov-ered. Allon the engine were precipitatedinto the "water and drowned. The con-ductor was walking ahead of the locomo-tive, which was proceeding very slowly,tho weather being stormy. To this fact \the conductor probably* owes his life, jThe Superintendent of the road is now |on his way to the scene of the accident, jand no eli'ort will be spared to recover the jremaining bodies.
Hart was v local artist of some promise jand has a brothes^ connected with theJi'tilj/ Examiner here. This is the first |accident on the lino in which lives havebeen lost since it has been in operation.
EVANS AND MOUKELL.
An Officer's Story Which Finds LittleCredence.
Fresno, Jan. 15.—Sheriff Scott andposse, who left on a special engine forGoshen Saturday night, returned rathercrest-fallen. They were summoned tothat locality by Marion Childers, whohad been sent down by the Sheriff'soiiice to spy around in that neighbor- jhood. Saturday evening Childers sent \u25a0
up word that lie had been held up by two jmen, who shot at him and killed one of jhis horses, adding that he believed themen to have been Evans and Morrell. Itnow appears that Childers, who is con- iBideredavery unreliable officer, punched !holes through his buggy cover with astick, ana shot the horse himself, inorder to pose as the hero ofan encounter\u25a0with the lamous bandits. The officershere are much disgusted, and are ina mood to give Childers a drubbing, ifthey catch him. llu wisely skipped be-Jore the oflicers had quite come to theoouciusion that he had fooled them.
The remainder of the Sheriff's possecame down irom tho mountains lastnight, but some of them willprobablyresume the hum in a day or two. Alltrace of the bandits has been lost. Thereturn ofall officers is criticised, as it isbelieved that a small posse should haveremained behind to beep a lookout.

ing Aggie Abbott there, presented a pistoland demanded her money. She had no |money, but he saw two valuable rings on jher fingers, and witnout waiting for her jto give them to him he brutally twothem from her hand. After his escape he\u25a0went to his own house, near at hand, andwhen the Sheriff came along Kelly got jhim into a corner and, pressing a pistol ito his abdomen, told him to stay there !until he (Kelly) returned. That was thelast seen of him until he was arrested inthis city, on last Friday.

round contest to-morrow night. Bothnun are in excellent condition ibr themill, and 1 an exciting exhibition will ;
surely be given. McAuliffeis no; given
to talking much, but is confident of vie- :
tory. lie claims to be acquainted withthe Australian's siyle ol fighting, havingboxed with him in public. While he ad-mits that he may not be able to put hisman out, he claims thai there is no doubtthat he will get the decision. Kyan, on
tie other hnnd, declares that there i> no
doubt but that he will win, and do tue 'trick easily at that. He cannot figure how- j.. lightweight can do him, a big middle- ;weight. Ifhe does not gather in the coin |to-morrow night ho says he will retiretrom the ring. With two nieu imbued |
with such ideas, it is evident that a hot! mill willresult.

It will be seenfrom the statement that there is urgentnecessity for such immediate action as
! wiilreplenish the coin reserve, and en-able this department to continue the pay-ment of public expenses and dischargethe obligations of ihe Government topensioners and other lawful creditors.
When my annual report was prepared,it was estimated tn;is the expenses daringtho current fiscal year would exceed thereceipts to tho amount of about S-5.000,---000, and 1 asked of Qpngress authority toissue and sell bonds or other forms ofob-ligations to an amount not exceeding.'-.,i>,(m o.i> (>, bearing a low rate of interestand having a reasonably short time torun, to enaulo the Secretary of the Treas-ury to supply such deficiencies as mightoccur in the revenues. The estimate thenmade was based upon the assumptionthat the worst effects ofour financial dis-turbances had already been realized, andthere would be a substantial increase intho revenues for tho remainder of thoyear. "While it was not believed tho de-liciency then existing would be suppliedby increased revenues in the future, itwas hoped that no additional deficiencywould occur, but the receipts and ex-penditures up to the 14th oi the presentmonth show that the estimated deficiencyof$28,000,000 at the dose of tho year wasmuch too low.
The actual receipts and expendituresduring each month of tho year and thomonthly deficiencies are as follows:

If the same average monthly deficien-cies should continue, the total differencesbetween the receipts and expenditureson the 3Uth ofJune next will be £78,167,---bll.

The assets of the Treasury and cur-rent liabilities in excess of certificatesaud Treasury notes outstanding wore asfollows on the 1:1th day of the presentmonth: <_;old, $74,108,14y; silver dollarsand bullion, $8,092,287; fractional silvercoin, $12,133,903; I nited States notes,$5,031,272; Treasury notes ol 1890, $476,000;national bank notes, $14,020,735; minorcoins, ##8,825; deposits in banks, flo,---470,863; total cash assets, $132,327,8b9.
Liabilities: Bank noto o per cent,fund, $7,198,219; outstanding checks anddrafts, •>>. 163,917; disbursing officers' bal-ance, $28,176,149; Fostoiiico Departmentaccount, $3,897,741; undistributed assetsof failed national banks, $1,9^7,727; Dis-trictofColumbia account, $144,230; totalagency account, $46,99U,3t»5; gold reserve,$74,017,549; net balance, $11,2^3,374. Totalliabilities. $132,377,889.
Itwill appear from this statement that| the coin reserve has been reduced to$7 1. 108,] 19, anil it is evident irom the con-dition ofthe treasury that the departmentwill have no means to defray the ordi-nary expenses of tne Government unleHs
i a large part of tho payments hereafter oemade out of that rand, if this is done,the coin reserve will be reduced by theIst of February to about $66,601,864—asum wholly inadequate lor tho purposelor which it. was created.
Un account of this critical condition oftho treasury, 1 have considered it mydoty, in addition to the earnest recom-mendations Contained in my annual re-port, to appear twice before your com-mittee, and, altor a fullexplanation of thosituation, urge prompt legislative actionon this subject. With permission of thecommittee, 1 have prepared and presentedfor considerationu biil which, it promptlypassed, would, in my opinion, meet allthe requirements of the situation by pro-viding the necessary means for dolray-ing tno public expensed and replenishingthe coin reserve to such an extent as toassure the maintenance of the parity ofall forms of Ilined Mates currency.
While this proposed measure of reliefhas not yet been disposed of or consid-ered by your committee, great differencesof opinion which are known to exist inboth branches of Congress concerningthe propriety of granting additional oramended authority to issue bonds in anyform or for any purpose, rentier it doubt-ful whether new legislation upon thosubject can be secured in time to providemeans which are imperath ely demandedin order to preserve the credit aud honorof the Government. The authority toissue and sell bonds forthe purpose ofmaintaining specie oayments was ex-pressly conferred upon the Secretary ofithe Treasury by the Act of January 14,1875j out has not been exercised since K'.i.and on account of the high rate ot inter-est provided for and the length of tunosuch bonds would have to run, I havenot been satisfied that such an emergencyhas heretofore existed a< would clearlyjustify their issue, but the necessity forrelief at this time is so urgent and thoprospect of material improvement in thefinancial condition of the Government soproblematical, that unless authority to ;issue and sell shorter bonds or other ob- jligations bearing a lower rate of interestthan that speciried in the exist-ing law, is granted by Cougre^s iat a very early day, I should leel •
constrained by a sense of public duty toexercise the power already conferred tothe extent at least of providing an ade-quate coin reserve. If this action shouldbe taken, Congress ought, nevertheless, !to provide promptly for the deficiency in 'the revenue during the current fiscal |year, and 1 willIrom time to time adviseyuur committee of the condition of the
treasury, in order that the subject mayreceive due consideration. I have thehonor to be, yours very respectfully,
J. d. Carlisle, Secretary.The House of Representatives, by a
rule adopted some time ago, has dedi-cated all its time until tbe '2!»th of the
I present month to consideration of theWilson tariffbill, and therefore it wouldhave been impossible for the Secretary ofthe Treasury to procure any legislation inthat body before that time, and for thatreason Carlisle thought it necessary tomake application first to the Committeeon Finance of the Senate, which he hopeswillact upon the measure in time to pro-vide the necessary means for the Govern-ment.
The bill referred to in the foregoingletter, is as follows:
"An Act to amend Section 3 of an Actto provide for the resumption of speciepayments, approved January 14, 1875.
"lie itenacted, by the Senate and Houseof Representatives, that Section o of anAct to provide lor the resumption ofspecie payments, approved January 14,1875, be and tbe same is hereby soamended that in lieu of descriptions ofbonds therein authorized, the Secretaryof the Treasury is hereby authorized toissue from time to time, as ho may deemnecessary, and in su:h form as he mayprescribe, coupon or registered bonds oftbe I iiited States in denominations of$Jf>and multiples thereof, redeemable in coinat tho pleasure of the United States,after years from date, bearing inter-est at a rate oi' not exceeding •'> per cent.per annum, payable quarterly, in coin,and sell the same at not less thau par incoin, and tho proceeds of such bonds-shall be held and used to maintain theparity of all forms of money coined orissue i by the United States, but the Sec-retary of the Treasury is hereby author-ized to use from time to time such part ofsuch proceeds as may be necessary tosupply tbe deficiencies in public revenuesduring the fiscal year ISH4.
"Section ii. A sum sufficient to carrythe provisions of this Act into effect ishereby appropriated out of any money inthe Treasury not otherwise appropri-ated."

PUBLIC POSITIONS.
Far Western States Get Nothing LikeTholr Share.
Washington, Jan. 15.—1n accordancewith the provisions of the last appropri-ation bill, the latest Blue Book, contain-ing a list of persons holding positions inthe various departments, gives also theStates from which they came. Houck ofTennessee has made up a table therefrom,showing the numbers employed from thevarious States and the number suchStates are entitled to in proportion to thepopulation, as shown by the census ofLB9O. The table shows that the East andthe States near the Capital have morethan their just proportion, while theWest and South lall short of their share.Houck suggests that the Civil ServiceCommission make no more certilicatesfrom states having an overplus of office-holders, and that their number be speed-ilyreduced. Itis likely the amendmentwill bo inserted in the legislative, ex-ecutive and judicial appropriation bill,directing the appointment of officers beequalized according to the population.
In the following, taken Irom the tables,the first figures show the number ofoffice-holders, from the States mentioned,and the second the number to which theyare entitled on the population basis:

HOT WHILE IT LASTED.Engagement Between a Rebel Gun-
boat and Land Forces in Brazil.Rio Janeiro, Jan. 15.—The engage-
ment between the rebel vessel Guana-bara, supported by the guns of CobrasIsland, on Saturday, and the Governmentpositions along the shore, was very hotwhile it lasted. The Guanabara had thebest of the light, running closo in shoreand making very effective use of herguns, which caused the Governmentforces to retire from their positions, leav-ing a number of dead and wounded be-hind, l'eixoto's officers, while theGuanabara was within easy distance ofthe shore, suddenly made an attack uponher by means of a number of small boatstilled with troops, but this movement wasunsuccessful, as the Guanabara openedsuch a deadly fire that she easily beat oil'the boarding parties, killinga number ofthe soldiers who manned tho small craft.Itis difficult to get at the facts in regardto the number killed and wounded. Therebels claim that at least a hundred ofFeixoto's troops were killed or woundedduring the attack upon the Guanabara bysmall boats, and probably as many moreduring the rebel ship's attack upon thelaud batteries. On the other hand, re-ports say the losses are trivial, arid theinsurgent reports of the number ofkilledand wounded grossly exaggerated.
