HAS ISSUED NO BONDS.
Secretary Foster Shows Just a Bit of
Indignation.


New YORK, Feb. 2O.-A Sun Washington
special says: The attention of Secretary
Of the Treasury Foster was called to the re-
port that arrangements had been made
with New York bankers for the sale of
SOS. coo. 600 of United States bonds in Eng
land. He emphatically denied it. The Sec
rotary was inclined to think that certain
American capitalists, having sent large
quantities of gold out OF the country
through foreign Wall-street bankers, were
endeavoring to avoid the just criticism of
their actions by having censure fall upon
the heads OF those who acted AS their
agents. These bankers became impatient
at being made scapegoats of, and have
ceased, in measure, gold shipments.
This policy. the Secretary thinks, will be
continued. and as result there will be
much less gold sent out hereafter. The
Secretary said the treasury is in much
better shape now than it has been. There
is S80C0,0O0 on hand in addition to the
500, 100000 reserve fund. with no prospect
of an unusual reduction at present, but,
rather, substantial increase. In answer
to the direct question whether he had issued
any bonds the Secretary said:
mo. have not / would not take such
step unless in the case of necessity, which
does not exist. / have the right to issue
bonds under the existing law, and l would
not hesitate to do my duty in case of an
emergency. Before issuing bonds would
feel obliged to consult my successor. for l
have but two weeks to remain in Office.
and l would not care to do anything in that
direction without first consulting him."
The Secretary concluded by saying even
If he desired to issue new bonds he would
hardly have time to prepare them at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing before
the close of the present administration.
