TARIFF BILL CHANGES. rnent should issue bonds to protect theSold reserve. It is denied, however. It,atany agreement over existed by which tnebanks were to !nrni«h go^d.

A prominent Democratic senator saidtoday that Secretary Carlis'e would notailow the goid r*r*rv« to fail below SoQ.-000,01.0. and shoa l the reserve bo reducedto nearly that point before congress acted.Carlisle would immediately issue bonds.When this statement was shown to Sena-tor Voorheea, chairman of the financecommittee, he declined to either verify or

it, only saying: "The secretary ofthe treasury has the authority and dispo-sition to protect the credit of the govern-ment, and I bare no doubt he w;!| actpromptly and effectively if an emergencyshould arise." Senator Voorhees does notdeny the report that he ts preparing a billto meet the emergency, but this statementwould seem to indicate that he does notexpect to be called upon to formu ate. ameasure. With reference to the opinion

that a bill for a bond issue cannot originatein the senate, it can be stated that thelawyers of the senate are generally of theopinion that it can originate there as wellAS in the house. Senator Gray says thehouse would probably make a row oversuch action on the part of the senate, butin his opinion the issuance of bonds wasnot raising revenue as provided for in theconstitution.

East Cuiuv, Jan. 14.?[Special. -Theschooner Norway and achooner FanniaHutard collided in tha straits about 11o'clock on Thursday night, while off Clal-lam bay. The Norway was lumbar ladenfor >an Quentin, Mexico, and left T acorn alast Monday. Tha Dutard waa going toNanaimo. It was stormy and vary dark,and the vesaeia pitched into one anotherbefore their lighta ware seen. Tha Dutardescaped with little injury, bat tha Nor-way's bow on the atarhoard aide waa badlyantaahed in. ."ha seemed in imminentdanger of ainking all night, *nd waadooded with water, but the other achooneratood by, ready to give any aasiatance Ifcalled for. During the night tha stormcarried the diaabled achooner over nearVancouver island. As eoon aa daylightappeared Capt. Charlaen, of tha Norway,left in a boat with his wife and child andfour sailors, and reached East Clallamafter a hard hoar's pull.

Port Tawmkkb, Jan. 14.?[Special.]?Capt. John Charlaen. family and crew ofthe Norway, armed here tonight on thatug Wanderer from Clallam Bay. Capt.Ch&rlsen said tonight to the POAT-IsTEi-t.toi!»« rb correspondent that ha aaw thaDutard some diatanca away. Bothachooner* were laying to. waiting for thastorm to abate. An unusual fall of rainobscured the Dutard's light*. The Norwaywaa on bar port tack, and the laat seen ofthe Dutard before tha accident aha was ontha starboard tack. A few momenta latertha latter Teaael ran into tha Norwayar.idshlpa, cutting her down to the wa-ter's edge, and she became waterlogged intan minutes The storm continued in futlforce. The Dotard lay by while tha Nor-way drifted over to the Vancouver shore.At daybreak Friday morning the Norwaydropped both anchors. CapL Charlaenlaunched a boat and left for Clallam Baywith hia wife and child, the atorm in thameantime having abated.

At Clallam bay the tag Tyee was en-gaged to go acroas to Vancouver ialand,where tha achooner waa anchored. TheNorway had parted both anchor* and waarapidly going to piece* whan the Tyee ar-rived. Lumber was strewn along the ahoreand the remainder of tha crew cam pad onthe beach. Nothing was saved, not eventhe captain's personal effects. Theschooner Fanny Dutard had her head gearcarried away and pnt back for repairs. Shepassed up to Fort Blakeley last night.

WA«»R»«»TO* CITT, Jan. 14.?Work onthe tariff bill will commence tomorrow,

when the bill willbe read by sections and beopen to amendment voider the tire-minuterule. From now on the bill will be in con-stant danger of amendment, and the houseDemocratic leaders have nrged upon alltheir colleagues the absolute necessity oftheir continual presence until the finalvote is taken. Chairmah Wilson saya: "Itis of the utmost importance that everyDemocratic member be present in the

house from this time until the passage ofthe tariff bill. From tbia time forwardactual voting on amendments will pro-ceed from day to day. It will be necessaryto maintain a quorum, as the absence atany time of a sufficient number for a votemight involve the loss of a day or two inconsideration of the bill. What is of moreconsequence is that amendments will bemade while friends of the measure and amajority of the house are present to ex*press preference, lor it would be most un-fortunate if amendments were madethrough the absence of a sufficient numberof Democratic mem beta to prevent them.For this reason it is essential that a Demo-cratic majority should attend the sessionuntil the debate closes. Committeeamendmenta necessary to correct imper-fections discovered in the bill will haveright-of-way. The bill will first be readby sections under the special order, andthereafter be open to amendment in anypart."

The Democratic members of the waysand means committee bad a meeting thisafternoon and decided upon amendmentsto be offered. The decision of the Demo-cratic members of the committee to re-port the income tax and other internalrevenue features of the committee's reve-nue plan aa a separata measure removesone of the main dangers to the bill, as theopposition to the income tax feature waaformidable. The fact that the propositionia not included in the bill will, it isthought, strengthen the attempt to re-move the sugar bounty and substitute inits stead a duty of 1 cent onaugar. Shouldthis be done it would raiaa $35,000,000 ofrevenue and save $10,000,000 of sugarbounty, and remove the nseesslty for andprobably kill the income tax propoaition.There is great difficulty in tba way ofmodification of the bill in this particularin that the Repubiicana will not vote torestore the duly on sugar, which waaplaced on the free lrj» "by the McKinleylaw.

Cnrmtr*. Jan. 14.?'Special. A worktrain was wrecked on the t'hehalis-Southl'»end branch of the Northern Pacific thiamorning, and the engineer, A. S. Moore,was killed. Yesterday the continuousrains had caused a couple of serious land-slides and washed out the tra«-k about halfway between here and South Hend. Kariythis morning the train was sent out tohelp clear up the wreck. About a mileand a half from Chelialis, and 'JUO yardsbeyond the first bridge across the Newau-kum. one side of the track went doon.The engine and pile driTer went Into theditcb, which is about fifteen leet deep andfull of water. Fireman F. M. Howejumped and was not lojured, but theengineer had no time to get out and wentdown with bis engine.

The Newaukum ts higher than for manyyears, and this morning waa runningeighteen inches deep across the trackwhere the wreck occurred. The enginewas completely covered with water, andthe ptledriver waa on top of it A wrecktrain waa sent for by Superintendent Mo-Cabe, who waaon the work train at thetime of the wreck. Boats were securedby the men. and all morning theytried to get out the body of the unfor-tunate engineer. Grappling hooks wereused, but the body was last in the cab andcould not be taken out.

WASHISOTOW CITY. Jan. 14.? r Sr>ecial.]?The postal administration of Tern hascalled the attention of the I'nited Statesto the circumstance that packages ofprinted matter mailed in other countriesfrequently reach Peru with the wrappersso torn that the addresses are illegible andconsequently the packages oannot be de-livered. This applies to articiee sent toany foreign country, and in accordancewith thia suggestion the superintendentof foreign mails has issued instructions toall postmasters to advise the public thatthe address of all packages intended forforeign countries be written not only onthe wrapper ot the package, but alsoon the article itseif, so that if the wrappershould be entirely destroyed the articleitself would show fot whom it waa in-tended, thus rendering delivery possible.It would seem that this recommendationwould also apply to domestic mails, judg-ing from the wagon loads of undeliveredarticles that annually accumulate in thedead letter office in this citr and are soldat public auction for whatever they willbring.

The engine which was wrecked is Mil,the same one that took a plunre from theferry boat into the Columbia at Kaiamalast winter.The Dairy Industry of Denmark.

Prof. George-son also treats of dairy bacteriology andthe construction of ice-houses, and devotesaeveral pages to a description of the dairycattle in common use in that country andthe improvement which has taken p'acein them as a result of more careful breed,ing for dairy purposes. Any dairymancan get one of these books by applicationto his congressman or senator.

Although a large force of men werekept at work on the wreck all day, it wasimpossible to recover the body of Engi-neer Moore. Under the personal directionof Superintendent McCabe every effortpossible was made. A pile driver whichlay partly above the engine wastorn to pieces by tip wreckingtrain, but the engine could not be moved.Mr. McCabe wired tonight for a diver andoutfit, and tomorrow the body will be re-moved if possible and the wreck will beleft till the water goes down. The waterhas not fallen much today, and aa it iaraining now it may rise still further.

CARLIsLI TO I«BI'K BONDS.

! He Will Sot I.et the Oold Reserve FallBelow ?50.000,000.

WABHIWOTOS CITT, Jan. 14?Soma de-cisive action to replenish the gold reservein the treasury will be tsken within thenext few weeks. Ifcongress does not takekindly to the suggestions offered by Secre-tary Carlisle in his annual report and pro-vide at once some mode of relief, the onlycourse left to the officials of the treasurydepartment will be for the secretary toex-erc.se the authority granted him by thelaw of I>C,*> and issue bonds for the purposeof maintaining the gold reserve.

The position which confronts the ad-ministration is one which it has decidedto hand e with promptness. All tbe avail-able money now in the treasury cons.stsof the so-called "gold reserve,'* which hasnow l«een invaded $26,000,000. and by ther.rst of the month the department believestrie tota. amount will have been reducedto Such a situation, it is

thought, wiil agam'start a movement ofgold toward Europe, which would stillfurther reduce tbe amount of gold neid bythe United Mates. Secretary Carlisle haatwice appeared before the Senate commit-tee on nuance, and his presentation of thecase to the members of that committeehas been clear and explicit tn his state-

ment of the situation. When he next ap-pears before the committee, which may betomorrow, it is probable he will emphasushis argument by the presentation of acarefully prepared statement of tne con*

j dition in which he tin Is the nationalfinances, as well as the methods preparedby him to sfford relief. Carlisle prefers

! that congress should deal with this mat-\ ter, bat if the national legislature ta..sI within three or tour weefcs to show any

indication that it intends to aid the secre-

J vary of tbe treasury it is known he willbe forced to avail himeeJ of the authority

i granted him by the act of 1575 and issue

tbe bonds necessary to reptenish the re-serve. A.l statements to the effect that

; orders have be*n riven the bureau ot en-graving and printing for plates, etc., arepure fabrications. Absolute.y no actionhas been taken, and no p;ans have be«adecided upon. This much can be officially

I stated.Tbe attitude of Sew York banks, as ex-

pressed in recent publications, t& regard tofurnishing gold for ex nor t, should necessity?rise, has possibly had some effect in

I strerftaeoiug the feeling that the govern*

T.ie customs people are spending moneyfreely in endeavors to pack the conventionand allay public sentiment. County At-torney Jennings and Customs InspectorDelaney effered one of the club's man-agers last night the choice of any positionin the service. The offer was indignantlydeclined, and tfcat matter, too, will begiven out at tomorrow's meeting.

When Judge KLuhn read Saunders'state-ment in today's Poirr-latti i.iotM ia tbathe (the collector) did not owe his oftice to

sny political organisation or set of menin this state, he sarcastically remarked toa party of friends: '?Yes, that's right.Saunuers received his appointment fromGod."

appeal to the supreme court, he eecapedfrom jail and was brought back from St.Louis at great expense to tbe state toserve his sentence, which has always beenregarded as extremely light. A Seattle

lawyer was recently here getting petitions.

Many signed who would applaud there-
