A HALT IN BOND BUYING.
OFFERS OF $9,o17eoo IN 4s RE-
JsCTED BY THE SECRETARY.

Many Theories Advanced in Explana-
ton of the Supposed Change of
Policy by the Government-The Date
OF Maturity Believed to Have Had an
Influence.
| WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-Total Offering Of
bonds to-day amounted to $l4, ,237, 300, of
| which S9,917, 500 were IS and $4, ,3l9, 500 were
415s. All tho IS were accepted at 10S1%,
and all the Is were rejected, notwithstand-
ing the fact that more than nine-tenths of
them were offered at 129, the rate at which
about S4,000000 As were accepted yester-
day. There is considerable comment on
this apparent change in the policy of the
department, and many theories are ad.
vanced to account for it.
AN OFFICIALS EXPLANATION.
The most plausible one according to a
treasury official, is that, other things being
equal, the department prefers to apply the
surplus to the redemption of loan which
| natures inside of three years, rather than
exhaust it in the purchase of bonds which
| have so much longer to run. The same
| Official said that, having met the require-
ments ot the sinking fund for the present
! year, the department can now afford to ach
of bonds, and applying the surplus to that
purpose would naturally desire to secure
| the bonds nearest maturity.
Acting Secretary Thompson declined to
say anything for publication in regard to
his rejection of A., except to remark that
he had bought $l5, 100000 bonds in the
last three days, and regarded that as doing
worry well.
REDUCTION OF BANK CIRCULATION.
A .,g, 90
found that the total deposits of lawful
money for the reduction of national bank
circulation since Sept. 30 aggregated $2,-
sos, $50. Az the act of 1882 provided that
not more than $3,0O0,000 of lawful money
shall be deposited in any one month for the
reduction of circulation and withdrawal Of
bonds, tie balance receivable during the
| remainder of this month was at the begin
niug Of business this morning. only $l9l,-
$50.
PUTTING ONE AND ONE TOGETHER.
These large deposits are connected with
the purchases Of bonds by the government,
and as tho magnitude of the offerings yes-
terday Indicated that there would be prob
ably to-day further deposits rendered, the
comptroller of the currency appointed
committee to receive the registered mail and
record III tho order in which the various
packages might come to hand.
THE LIMIT ovERLEAPED
This committee received this morning
nine packages of which six were found to
relate to deposits OF lawful money for the
withdrawal of bonds amounting to $3.50, 500.
The balance was made up from these offer
Jugs in the order of their record, and the
banks were notified. As soon as the 80, ,000-
GOO limit was reached, the treasurer tele-
graphed TO the various assistant treasurers
to receive no more deposits this month for
the reduction of national bank circulation.

the Chairman.

Mr.. Dougherty OBJECTS to q Ruling OF
the Chairman.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-ln the House to-
day, Mr.. Dougherty of Florida, rising to a
question of privilege, declared that he
wished to have the journal corrected so as
show that the Senate bill providing for the
electoral count passed the House yesterday y
without quorum. He said that
the chairman (Mr. Stone of kentucky
had not recognized him (Mr. Dougherty) to
make the point of no quorum. either be-
cause he did not hear him, or refused to
hear him, and he did not wish the precs-
dent established that by quick decision of
the chair member could be deprived OF
his rights. The speaker promised to have
the record examined in relation to the sub
ject.
Mr.. Burnes of Missouri asked unanimous
consent to set aside the vote by which the
House tabled the motion to reconsider the
vote by which it was passed.
TAYLOR PACIFrED.
E. B. Taylor of Ohio in view Of the i'm
portance Of the bill objected, but subse-
quently withdrew his objection on a repre-
sentation made by Mr.. Burns that such a
course would facilitate the adoption of the
conference report on the deficiency bill.
Mr.. Stone of Kentucky, who was in tho
chair yesterday when the bill was passed
stated that, notwithstanding what the jour
nal might show, his recollection was that
no motion was made to reconsider the vote
on the passage Of the bill. The speaker
stated that an examination of the notes of
the official reporters showed that no motion
was made to reconsider. The journal would
be corrected accordingly.
MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
Mr.. Dougherty then entered motion to
reconsider, which Z. B. Taylor moved to
lay on the table. On Mr.. TayIor's motion
the vote stood 40 10 8, and Mr.. Dougherty
raised the point Of no quorum. Mr..
pougherty asked where the bill, In fact,
was
The speaker stated that it had been re-
turned to the Senate.
Mr.. Burnes then asked consent 10 offer a
resolution requesting the Senate TO return
the bill to the House.
Mr.. Baker OF New York objected to Mr..
Burnes request. Subsequently Mr.. Baker
withdrew his objection, but it was renewed
by Mr.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky. who re-
garded the presidential count bill as far
more important than the deficiency bill.
MIR. Barnes then called up the conference
report on the deficiency bill, and after some
time spent in persuasive endeavors, Mr..
Burnes was successful in inducing Mr..
Dougherty to withdraw his opposition, and
the report was agreed to. This disposes of
the last Of the general appropriation bllls.)
The House then, at 40 o'clock, adjourned
until Friday

THE SURGEON GENERALS REPLY.
DR.. Hamilton replied as follows.


The persons named have been detained at
Capp Perry ten days, during which period they
have not been exposed to infection. They are
not now. and are not likely to become, sick and
their baggage has been twice fumigated. They
are not forced upon you. The officer at Camp
Perry permits them to depart under the reg1lla-
tions in force all summer. AS they are desti-
tute, l understand he has furnished them
tickets. You can keep them out of New
Orleans if you desire. ! suggest that you notify
them through Surgeon Hutton where they must
stop. The government has no regulation de
tanning them beyond the quarantine period Of
ten days.
SURGEON HUTTON ASKS ADVICE.
Surgeon Hutton wired to-day as follows
f. O. Saltmarsh, OF Pensacola, telegraphs
that the authorities of Mississippi and Louisiana
will not allow nurses from Camp Perry to enter
these states These nurses have been in Camp
Perry from seventeen to twenty four days each.
There Is absolutely no infection in the camp
nor has there been. The question now confrontS
us whether Mississippi, louisiana, or the United
States are supreme in the matter Please
advise me. In the meantime / shal hold the
nurses.
Surgeon General Hamilton sent the fol-
lowing reply:
Allow the nurses to depart and go as far as
they will be allowed. While the regula-
ton forbidding their entry to New Orleans in
my judgment, is entirely unwarranted by any
state Of fact, the government cannot override
local regulations under the present laws, but no
community can force the government to retain
persons in quasi confinement beyond the period
the general judgment of sanitarians has agreed
on as safe and proper.
The nurses in question are residents of
New Orleans who volunteered to 90 to
jacksonville under the auspices of the Red
Cross Association, and are desirous to return
home.
