WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb, u, '0s.

Of oankers and Others.
In It's membership, |
formed for the express purpose OF CON-
polling new issue of bonds, presents
a problem of grave Importance, not
only to the present administration, but
to all future administrations IL this
combination can by creating an artifi- |
cial demand for gold compel an issue
of bonds to the extent of $50, 900, 900,
what is to prevent the same tactics re-
sulting in an issue of as many billionsa
The President believes that IL the
members of THIS combination are once
convinced that no bonds will be issued
the unusual and uncalled for demand
for gold will cease as suddenly as it
began, and for that reason he is unal'
terably opposed to issuing bonds.
Some disgraceful scenes occurred in
the cloak rooms and corridors of the
House during the all-night session of
the House this week caused by filibus-
tering on the part of southern menu
bers against the passage of the bill
compelling railroads to adopt an auto
matte car coupler, which has already
been once passed by the House and is
now back there with Senate amend
ments. Whisky made monkeys of
some of the members. A vote on the
bill was STAYED off until next week.
Secretary John w. Foster officially
retired from the Cabinet yesterday,
and tomorrow he will sail for Eu-
rope to take charge Of the case of the
United States before the Behring Sea
tribunal. The vacancy will probably
not be filled. as assistant Secretary of
State Wharton prefers to act as Secre-
tary while retaining the present posi-
ton.
