per cent. The remaining $92j,0OO was re-adver-
fised nj per cent interest, on May l. On Tuesday
the bids were opened and il was found that only
$4,000 was bid for, and in one instance II was
proposed to take the bonds at par, the average
being thrce-fouTths of per cent premium. Mayor
Low and Controller Brinkerhoff decided yesterday
to reject all the bids and wait until the money mar
ket is more settled before selling the bonds. On
talking of the matter an official referred 70
at 9S and Troy bonds find no bidders as an indica-
ton that fnanciers were exceedingly cautious
about Investments.
Mayor Low said that the city believed it advan-
tage0ns to decline all the bids in the present con-
dition of the money market. lie thought that the
rate of interest would soon be lower and money
much more plentiful than now, 50 it would be
better for the city to wait than TO sacrifice the
bonds They would certainly bring what they
were thought TO he worth. If people would not
pay that they could do without them

Outline of the Report of the Commtte on
Foreign Affairs.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE subcommittee
of the House foreign affairs committee, consist
ing of Messrs Curtin, Rice and Eaton, to whom
the Hiscock resolutions on the Lasker matter
were referred, at a meeting to-day adopted sub
stitute fol the resolutions and prepared a report
to accompany the substitute. At the meeting
of the full! committee the substitute for the
resolutions and report of the subcommittee
were laid before the members Considerable
discussion followed, as Il result of which the re
port was referred back to the subcommittee
with suggestions as to certain changes the full
committee deemed judicious to have made An
other meeting of the subcommittee will
be held tomorrow, at which the report
will be amended in conformity with the sugges-
tons of the full committee, following which it
will probably be adopted by the full committee
and with the substitute the resolutions will
reach the House on Monday next The senti-
ments which will be expressed in the report Of
the subcommittee are:
First-That the House of Representatives had
the right to adopt and transmit to the German
Reichstag resolutions expressing its opinion of
the character and ability of the deceased German
statesman, its sympathy with the democratic
ideas entertained by him. and its coincidence
with that party in German politics to which he
belonged in the loss they suffered on his death.
Second-That it would not be dignifed
course for. the House of Representatives to
indulge in abuse of Prince Bismarck for
asserting his right to say when the resolutions
reached him that they should go no further, as
the question of his right to assert that authority
is one to be settled between him and the Reichs-
tag Thrd-The action of our State Depart
ment in the matter is deserving of eommenda-
ton.
The resolutions which are to be reported as a
substitute for the Hiscock resolutions will not
differ substantially from the latter, except in a
modification Of the language respecting Prince
dation of the State Department in the matter.

the Laclede National Bank, while summing up
business, to-day, found Frederick J. Deiterichs
their paying teller, short in his accounts $50,

There was an informal caucus in one Of the

of the proceedings and the absence of many of
the leaders in the opposition to any disturbance
of the existing tariff, no definite conclusion was
arrived at. The sentiment of those present
however, was emphatically against the idea of
obeying caucus mandates III a matter of this
kind. A Pennsylvania member said that the
bare fear of horizontal reduction would defeat
every Democratic aspirant for Congressional
honors and as the Democrats of Pennsylvania
had not forced this issue upon the party, he
would certainly not vote for any measure that
would bring certain defeat to every candidate in
Pennsylvania that supported it. Among the
New York members who were present the deter
mination was equally strong to resist any at
tempt to force adherence to caucus rule in the
matter of tariff debate even at the risk of be
ing read out of the party, One of those who
was present says that if a motion to kill the bill
is made by any Republican, it will go through
like a streak" Upon the return of Mr.. Randall
an effort will be made to get together the Demo

that some plan of procedure may be agreed up

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.


Prospect that the Delegates to Chicago Will
BE Less Hampered than Formerly.
Special to tho indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN, March Ill think the South
will have more influence at the Chicago conven-
ton in June next than it has ever had in a nomi-
mating convention, said Register of the Treas
uly Bruce one of the most prominent colored
Republicans in the country, in a conversation
with your correspondent tonight.
What tack is the South taking, to which you
referl" / inquired
Heretofore our people have gone to the ma
tional nominating conventions as a unit, under
Imperative instructions. The candidates have
been able to sit down and figure just so and so
on the South. 1t will not be so this time. Many
delegates will go to Chicago free to act for who
ever they choose, and tell you they will have
some influence. was sorry to see that nearly
all the delegates selected in Louisiana the other
day were federal officeholders. That will be de
cidedly embarrassing and it should not, in my
opinion, have been So"
''You evidently do not believe in instructing

those from the South. They lose all individual
ity of the South when they 90 instructed.
