THE MATURING BONDS.

Secretary Foster Still Considering the
Question of Extending the Four-and-a.
Half Per Cent. Bonds--The Interests of
the East and the West In the Matter
Probability that, If Extended, it will be
mt the Two Per Cent. Rate.
WASHINGTON, June o.-Secretary Fos-
ter said yesterday afternoon that he
had not yet determined what to do
about the AZ per cent. bonds. The
New York bankers insisted that if the
bonds were extended at lower rate of
interest than 2 per cent. they would
lose money. At the same time they adj
mitted that the government was in a
position to force them to take the bonds
at whatever rate of interest it saw fit
to allow. Many offers were being re-
ceived, he said from western banks to
extend the bonds at any rate of inter-
est the secretary of the treasury chose
to fix, and 81 have no doubt" said
Secretary Foster, ''that the western
banks would extend their holdings of
~ per cent. without any interest. ;"
The secretary here picked up a state
ment showing that AZ per cent. bonds
held by national banks to secure circu-
lation and government deposits were
distributed as follows: New England
states, So, 743, $50; middle states, S.
695, 400; southern states, S3. AT, 500;
western states, $13, 7S4, 900.
''The western banks" continued Sec
retary Foster, receive as high as to
10 per cent. for money while per
cent. is the ruling rate in the east.
Western banks could perhaps better
afford to have their holdings of AZ per
cent. bonds extended at per cent than
the eastern banks could at per cent
interest. These latter banks, he said,
argued that rate of less than 2 per
cent. would reduce the bonds to par or
fraction below, and when they
reached that point the bonds would be
presented to the treasury for payment
and would have to be redeemed of
course, at par"
Il think myself" said Secretary Fos-
ter, that it would be we'll to have the
bonds command premium in the mar
ket"
"Then again." continued Secretary
Foster ''these eastern banks offer to
take all the ~ per cent. bonds not now
held by national banks-some S25, 900,
000-and increase their circulation to
that extent. This is consideration
not to be overlooked, espe cially in view
of the heavy export of gold to Euroge,
which of course reduces the circulation
considerably"
1t was gathered from all that Secre-
tary Foster said, that if the western
banks would take all the AZ per cent.
bonds at l or ~ per cent. he would let
them have them; if not, rather than
force the eastern banks to take less
than 2 per cent, he was inclined to ex-
tend them at that rate, provided they
would take them all, and increase their
circulation to the amount of Az per
cent. bonds held by other banks, about
$25, 900, OOO

The Labor Element About Norfolk, Neb.,
Object to Indian Children Being Allowed
to Weed Beets at the Beet Sugar
Station.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Some time
ago the managers of the beet sugar sta
ton at Norfolk, Neb., requested the
commissioner of Indian affairs to allow
the Indian children at the Genoa train
ing school to pick the weeds from the
beets and generally make themselves
useful. The commissioner heartily in
dorsed the proposition and notified
Superintendent Backus, of the
training school at Genoa, to
make the necessary arrangements
and preparations to transport the chill
dren to Norfolk, which is only short
distance Before they had started,
| however, the citizens of Norfolk, prin-
| cipally the labor element, at a meeting
| held to take action in the matter,
passed resolutions vigorously condemn
ing the plan. This information was
| contained in a communication to Com
missioucr Morgan, who thereupon no
tilted Superintendent Backus to make
no further arrangements and allow the
matter to be dropped.
