Bonds for Continuance.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The amount OF
coupon 5 per cent. bonds OF 1881 re-
ceived for continuance at 81 per cent,
up to the close OF business to day, was
$50. 1921 1t is the opinion OF the
Treasury officials that nearly all OF the
outstanding coupon tves will be re-
ceived during this month There are
upwards OF five millions OF registered B
per cent. bonds now in the Treasury
Department, which were forwarded by
the holders previous to the 23rd ultimo,
the date fixed for the receipt
of the bonds for continuance,
awaiting the inspection Of the Secretary.
The cause OF the retention OF these bonds
is attributed to the fact that the details
connected with the process OF extension
we not strictly adhered to, and conse-
uupntly il remains for the Secretary TO
determine what portion Of them, ii any,
shah be passed for continuance. IL is
now quite certain that the excess oil the
limit : per cent, converted into 81 per
cent, will reach ten or twelve millions.
The exact amount cannot be stated,
however, until il is known what dlspo.
sition the Secretary will make OF those
now awaiting his action.

JOHN SHERMANS DIZZY SPEECH.
CAUCUS CRY.

The stslvart Wall Heard Once More.
ALBANY, June 8--The Conkiing
fellows have renewed their clamoring
for a caucus. and it is amusing to hear
them taunt the administration members
and defy them to go into caucus. "What
are you afraid OFF" they inquire. with
the leer OF street gamins. "You say you
number seventy five and We only thirty;
ii that is the case, and the vote shows
it, then why don't you join us In a
caucus and outvote US there? Ii you
can do it We will quit, and the dead
lock will be broken. II you can beat us
according to the rules laid down in the
party discipline, We will submit; Don't
ieel very sorry for us because
we are little; We will bar
siza this once and meet YOU on the level.
O come! Dow Talk like this is not
without force, and it makes the patriotic
and powerful seventy five feei as sheep,
ish as the bigdunce at school, 1t would
not be surprising if the machine men
did eventually succeed in bullyragging
majority OF the Republican members
into holding a caucus. Then II the ad-
ministration people persisted in keeping
ont they would be put on the defensive
instantly, and the chances OF victory
would be reversed. II they should go
into caucus and the Conkling minority
could. outvote the opposition majority,
which is by no means Improbable, II
would still be a machine victory. This
is one OF the lurking dangers the Hall
Breeds have to guard against.
The Administration Soured on Cornell.
Cornell continues TO grow in dlslavor
with the administrator members. Ihey
say if he had done as he more than hall
promised Robertson and others he
canld have broken the deadlock last
week, but that by his failure to do 80 he
has injured himself. They say that II
he had been put forward for the long
instead of the short term all would have
been lovely. That is the rock upon
which more than one combination Is
liable to split. The different cllques
and factions into which the aimlnlstra-
tionists have divided themselves are
struggling for the upper hand, The
dozen or fifteen half Stalwarts, who are
running Cornell for the long term are
mulish and hard to drive or pull. They
will insist on having an iron clad Stall
wart in one OF the vacancies, and they
will stubbornly contend for the long
term.
For the Short Term.

ton assembled at noon. Lieutenant
Governor Hoskins was in the chair Tor
the first time since the meeting OF the

FIRE MATTERS,
COx's COmml.tco Hearing Ap

COXs COMMITTEES Hearing Appeals.
1t will be remembered that recently
Chief Engineer Arnold, of the fire depart
ment, imposed fines of $40 on the Shiffler
company for refusing to lend their hose, and
s25 each on the Friendship and American
companies for indulging in water fight
on Plum street, on Sunday, August 81.
These penalties were subsequently con-
firmed by action of councils. Last evening
Chairman Cox, of the committee on fire
engines and hose companies, gathered his
committee about him in select council
chamber, for the purpose ofhearing the ap-
peal Of the companies named from the i'm
positions of the chief. There was a large
crowd of firemen in and about the cham
Der during the deliberations. Alderman
Barr and Assessor Haines plead the cause
of the American in eloquent phrase, while
that of their opponents in the water fight,
the Friendship, found champions in Messrs.
Thos. B. Cochran, George S. Lands.
Lewis Haldy and James Burns. Chief
Engineer Arnold being called upon ex-
pressed tho opinion that the Amt rican
people were responsible for beginning the
fight, whcreupon the committee decided to
sustain the action of tho chief with regard
to that company, and to let up on the

their fine $15. Messrs. P. 8. Goodman

committee after weighing the words of the
gentlemen named was that s5 fine, instead
Of the $40 imposed by the chief, would be
