President and Cabinet.
New YoHN, May 3O.-The Herald's Wash
ington special says: The financial question
engaged the attention of the president and
his cabinet at the meeting today. Something
has to be done soon in regard to the So, ,OOO
600 Of AZ per cent bonds which mature Sep
tember q. After examining the situation and
condition of the treasury it was decided
unanimously that the ninety days call re-
quired by law for the redemption Of these
bonds be issued next Monday. This, however,
does not mean that thoy would be called in
Several treasury officials, Secretary Foster
included, it. is understood, believe that the
bonds could be extended mt per cent and tho
redemption money held in the treasury
against any contingency that might arise.
This scheme is based on the principle that
where the money could be used advantage
ously per cent would be a tritliug interest
MIR. Lacey, comptroller of the currency, is
certain that the national banks which now
hold between 3?3OOOO00 and $4,000, 900 of
these bonds, viii be willing to keep them at.
| per cent.
The legal question new arises, does tho
issuing of the call for tho bonds destroy the
Cover! mcuts option upon themi This ques-
tion will have to be settled before final de-
cision is reached in the matter Of extending
the bOnds.
At the meeting today President Harrison
expressed a desire that the bonds be re-
doomed, He is anxious to continue the policy
which has resulted in the cpncclliug of
SO GOO OF the bonds. Mr. Foster urged
his plan, and while there was difference of
opinion between him and the president, tho
latter will likely yield to his sccrctary's
Judgment, a decision rs to the bond cXten-
sion will not be reached for some time Sec
rotary Foster Wlll visit New York within the
next few days and while there will confer
with the leading inancicrs regarding the
matter.
