I DEVOTED TO THE BEST WASHINGTON NEWS. -:o:- TIII2 NEW - BONO ISSUE REALITY. A How Will the Bond Issue be Received by the Public. Home Financiers Favor Making it Lrger and Secure the Treasury Against all Demands. Washington' Nov. 13. Allques" tion as, to the proposed issuance of fifty million dollars in bonds by the Government was settled to day by Secretary Carlisle's circular letter call ing for proposals on the new issue, same to be dated February 1st 1895, rate of interest five per cent, and the bonds will be in denominations of 50. and upwards. - . The success of the new issue is well assured as New York bankers stand prepared to take the entire issue. Just what the public subscriptions will: amount to is at this time not known with any degree of certainly. There is every reason to believe that the President is inviting by his proposed action a vigorous and em phatic protest fron Congress It is not difficult to recall the irritation ex hibited by a large number of Demo cratic members last session when the first issue was suggested. It was like flying a red flag in the face of an angry bull to mention the subject to the Southern and Western men, while even a few Northern Democrats were of the opinion that the crisis could be averted in soma other way. Indeed, there are now several resolu tions on the calendar directly prohibi ting the Secretary of the Treasury from taking advantage of the old re sumption act for an issue of bonds, and one of these resolutions would be sure to pass next session. The most bitter opposition to further bond issues might naturally be expected from the defeated and, perhaps, des perate silver men, like Bland, to whom anything in the nature of a deal with Wall street is an irritating goad. 11 this hostile faction is foiled in an attempt to-prevent a bond issue, it will be certain to make itself heard in loud and angry assaults upon the ad ministration. Whether this feelinsr will spend itself in words or whether it will be sufficiently strong to secure therpassago of a resolution of condem nation remains to be seen. The fear of adverse action is hot, however, likely to interfere with the sale of bonds. Whejn it existed last session it interfered Very materially with the attempt to float the bonds which were then put upon the market. As it was not realized and no question as to the validity of the bonds was successfully raised, the quotations for them has risen from the upset price of 117.223 to 119 and 120. The new bonds are certain to offer equally good invest ment, and, as the dispatch from New York intimates there will be no ques now of their ready disposition. j There is naturally a good deal of gossip as to the reason of restricting the issue to $50,000,000. There is a general impression that it would be a WHAT -WOMEN WILL WEAR NEXT. THE Autumnal Fashions are almost ready to burst upon us, and our store, which tries always to keep a little ahead of the styles, will contain many' highly novel and useful hints from the fashion cen tres of the world.

All assertions agree, however, that -not moie than fifty millions will now be asked, and even this amount will swell the public debt to an extent which will be sdYe to create considerable criti cism jamong a certain class of Demo crats The debt, less cash in the Treasury, has already increased from February 1, 1894, to November 1, 1894, $81,000,000. The gossip, over the bond issue in cludes some rumors as to the possible retirement of Secretary Carlisle from the Treasury. Tim administration leaders continue to assert that there is no likelihood of a vacancy. On the other hand a rumor was current yes terday to the effect that Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, would take the Treasury portfolio, and would be sue ceeded by Mr. Carlisle in the Senate. By this move, it was stated, the position of the administration on the floor of the Senate would be materially strengthened. Five presidents of national banks, who are regarded as the leaders of the bank presidents in New York city, met in the office of Henry W. Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank. They were: Mr. Cannon; Presidents Nash, of the Corn Exchange National Bank; Tappen, of the Gallatin National Simmons, of the Fourth National, and Williams, of the Chemical National Bank, to discuss the impending gov ernment "K&n7The consensus of opinion was that the bankers of New York would give up large amounts of gold for the purchase of the nevr issue of government bonds. It is expected that investors wilM subscribe largely for the new bonds and the banks will furnish to depos itors freely the gold necessary to take the1 bonds. This decision is of import ance, as the Union Trust and United States and Central Trust companies, hold the bulk of the gold in New York. Presidents King, Stewart and Olcott, of the trust companies men tioned, have already extended to the administration their assurance that the new issue will be taken care of. When the February issue was made deposi tors had difficulty in taking the gold from banks, and many only secured legal tenders which were presented at the sub-treasury to obtain the gold. The government thus failed to secure over $38,000,000 gold for th.e $58, 000,000 netted by the sale of $50,000, 000 bonds. ! The decision of the bankers to give up their gold freely will consequently net a larger amount of gold to the government as ths result of the forth coming $59,000,000 bond issue. The amount, it is estimated, is over $50, 000,000. t All bankers concur in the opinion that the withdrawal of nearly $60,000, . 000 of money from general circulation will have more effect than in last January, as there is a better demand for money at present.
