Tbe wltb drawsl jeeteHay of 18.150.000 in gold for shipmmt to day leaves the Treas ury reserve tt t73.804.T60 The World this morning p-ints a lung story of a promised bond isson by President Cleveland when ths reserve reaches the sixty million limit. It ssrt: President Cleveland, sering tbst a bond Issue cusS come, bas been in personal consultation with meuibt-isof the syndicate which adiisrd and man aged the la&t Issue. The detsile of a plan of thuliums were partially agrsed upon, and it Is understood that the President will order the Imu aa soon as the reserve strikes the $00,000,600 mark. Tbe issue will be for at leaat 150,000,000. possibly $100,000,000. The syndicate will not agree agsin to try to protect the Trrasury reserve by controlling the exchange rate It is the general feeling thatto-day'a shipment will be tbe laet fur some time, but it is thought that the Presl dent's msrk of (60.000.000 will be reached in the flint fortnight of the new year, when the bond issue may be expected Mr. Cleveland will present an ulti matum to Congress before cloeing a bond del. It was well understood that tbe New Yoik banks and they represent tbe banks of the whole country will not do anything in the way of voluntary assisttn-e. there will be no patriotic donations of eoin from them, though they will gladly furnish gold If' they enn dictate their own terms of profit. They do not desire any each half aad-half arrangements an was made last Ptbruar.". Then it was the under etanding that half of the gold was to some from abroad and half of tbe bonds wsre to go there to stay As a matter of fact the gold didn't come from abroad, as agreed, except in the Pickwickian sense that it came from abroad because it did not go there. And a considerable smount of the bonds sold lo London are ddw here, the gold for them helping to swell the exports. All this is to be avoided in tbe new deal, and an underetandlng bas teen reached between Mr. Cleveland and hi financial associates on all the es sential features of ths next issue. An issue of $50,000,000 or 1100,000,000 would place the Tieasury in easy cir eaautaaece. Mr. T. Ii. Jones Pasecs Away. Mr. Tbos. L. Joues, died st the resi dence of his daughter, Mrs. J. N.

GOLDEN RULE APPLIED By Peaceful Treasurer Worth "Qreat Message on a Great Sub ject, by a Great Man." All abont town today the pople had a new and novel topic of oonver nation the message of President Cleveland to Congress. The ring of that message has seized upon the peo ple; it has struck a popular ohoi d of patriotio manliness and, while all olasses hope that war is still distant, there is yet enough of probability in its coming to arouse tbe people to a feeling, not of Jingoism, but of deter mination and proper enthusiasm. Sectional lines in Raleigh, already seem to be sinking into insignin oanoe ; men who have never before had a good word for Cleveland now say "a great message." Auditor Farman came in from Ashevllle today. When asked about tbe message, he smiled with satisfac tion: "It is a great message, on a great snbjeot, from a great nun." Next was seen General Franc's VI Cameron: "The message has the true ring about it It is the strong est and most masterly communica tion ever sent to Congress by a presi dent, certainly within my reool lec tion. England must simply tike water or fight, for Congress is with tbe President However, I do not seriously think of war. Yes,I mean by that that I think England will oonolnde to arbitrate. The Treasurer's office presented a scene of ldyllio peace. At his desk sat Mr. Worth; bis quiet features were never more peaceful ; and the blaok working skull oap sat serene ly at rest When the reporter asked f r his opinion the glanoe that oama from mild brown eyes was one of loving good fellowship: War," he said, "why I certainly am not in favor ofnghtiDg. The idea of two Christian nations fight ing with one another is both wicked and absurd. By no means let ns have war 1" When asked by tbe reporter whether. U England again defied Uncle Sam, be would change bis view, he replied emphatically in the negative : "My religion would never let me sanotion blood shed. Do you know the golden rule? Well, that Is my prinoiple. Before that tbe national honor that you speak of becomes in significant Yes, if we cannot do bet ter, I say submit." From this Christian atmosphere the reporter dived to the Agricultur la Station. There, tbe cleaning of gems was going oa, but it was ex plained that they were not weapons of war. Commissioner Patterson said that he admired the tone of thq message "Modern war, though, is too deadly to be indulged in. Secretary Bruner remarked that he was in favor of two wars one to free Cuba, the other to enforce tbe Monroe Doctrine. Editor Hal Ayer tried to throw cold water on the message. "This thing has been held in abeyance to distraot attention from tbe issue of the day. Let us get ourselves in gcod trim, before we talk war PRAISE FOR THE MESSAGE. Widely Discussed, the Governor not In Favor or War. The Presidsnt's message created wide spread interest yesterday and copies of ths Press-Tlstnr were In de mand every where up the street. Tbe faot that every Senator was in bis seat and all applauded heartily whea the messsge was read without respect to polities wonld Indicate that the messsge would be weleomely re ceived by all classes. Not a word has been spoken In thia eity in condemnation of the message, so far as th Peem-Tisitob can learn. For instance, a certain leading Popu list said that h believed the Presi dent made a bid to regale some of hi lost popularity la framing th mesesre bat say he, "I sudors that messsgs." To (how bow Importaat the message waa, soasidered, nearly evetr New York aewepaper telegraphed Goverarr Carr for aa ipreesloa of opinion aa to it eoatenU.
