SECRETARY WINDOITS ACTION TO REUETE THE The Keeper ef "Uncle SaxaV EheisLi Interviewed on the Financial nation The Exfetli Paxitf not Attributable to Wail street 1 ..4 Manipulation; Nmr YoRk.v 15. Secretary Wln dom said, in reference to the financial iltuation and the manner to be adopted for relief that he. had decided" to purchase sixteen millions of: per 'cent, bonds aftd prepay the Interest on fifty or sixty millions of 6's.

In regard tq the cause that lead to the present stringency WIndom said: do not attribute It to Wall street manipulations, though advantage may haTe taken of tha ex isting conditions to Intensify: the stringency. Neither do I attribute the con dition of 'affairs to general specu lation throughou Vthe country. Neither Is It do to an. influx of. money into the treasury from customs dues, or Internal revenues taxes, for, as Is shown by the published statement, the outflow of money from the treasury in payment of our bondod debt during the last year has exceeded by $41,000,000 the entire receipts.

I believe this state of affairs, is attributable to the remarkable activity in busidess of all kinds, in connection with the great advance Jn values during the last eighteen months. This Increase in values requires a much larger amfunt of money to handle the products, hence the unusual demand from the sooth and west. Another cause may be found In the large Increase of requires the shipment of gold abroad. In reply to the question as to what further means he had decided to adopt In the present emergency, Mr. Windom said: "I have named the $16,000,000 as the amount of four's to be purchased.

because Iblr together, with what will be required to pay the interest on the six a will consume the entire available surplus. I have sent a notice to. to receive offers for these bonds at 13 o'clock next Wednesday, and havo. or dered the prepayment of Interest on the six per cent, bonds. I know of nothing else that tber secretary can do.

There Is no doubt but what this will bring fnll and satisfactory relief, If the holders of these bonds are disposed to cooperate with the treasury. I do not think there Is danger of serious financial trouble, but if it does come, it will not be the fault of the treasury. This offer is exceptional and made to meet exceptional conditions, and is not to be regarded as the policy of the Secretary Windom left the city for Williamstown, 'where he will join his A DEADLY BOLT ENTERS A SHANTY OF ONE HUNDRED ITALIANS And KUlg Four 1 of the' Dagos The Others Rush From the House in' Frignt In the Same Neighbor hood a Woman is Fatally Stunned.

The Senate's Tariff Amendments to Absorb the House's Attention The Reciprocity Measure Other 7 Bills Anxiety for Ad 1 jv Jonrnment.

Washington, Sept. 13. The program for the: coming week in the house and senate looks to as rapid preparation for adjournment as possible. In the house the tariff bill is expected, to take up a good share of the week. The north western members are very much la favor of retaining the senate amendment for free binding twine, and the southern members will insist upon free cotton bagging or cotton ties or both, or an equivalent which ought to be granted the south.

The reproclty amendments will elicit some though there Is a general belief that something of this kind ought to be adopted. The question as. to date at which goods now in bond shall be required to pay duty will be likely to receive some attention It Is possible that a part of the week may be given to the consideration of the contested election Should further filibustering on these cases follow here Is a prospect that Congressman Frank's amendment of the rules, which permits a roll call on the pending question the moment a quorum is obtained by a call of the house, will be adopted. This proposition makes the record of the call of the house a test as to the presence of a quorum on' the vote, which Immediately follows the call, and thus prevents the success of fill postering methods, such as those of the past week. It Is probable that with the absence of delay of this character all the contested election' cases will be disposed of before the close of the session of this congress.

In the senate the land forfeiture bill, the anti lottery bill and a number of other measures agreed upon at the cau cus of Thursday will be given considera tion. i PBJESIPKNT OOMPBBS, Of Federation of lAbor, Reads the Slot Act to the Bocislists.
