FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Secretary Foster Has Contracted
to Sell Bonds.
Drexel, Morgan s. Co. Will Take All
That Offer and Be Very Glad
to Do 1t.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Foster was before the Ways and
Means Committee of the House this morn
ing, explaining the condition of the treas
ury. He said there was no occasion to fear
a bankrupt treasury, but he admitted the
situation demanded serious consideration.
He believed the availa Bile cash in the treas
ury at the close of the fiscal year would
be only seventeen millions instead OF
twenty millions as he had estimated in
his report, because he had not taken into
consideration the payment Of the Choctow
claim of 100000. On the present basis
of the revenue he estimated there would bs
a deficit in the treasury at the end of the
fiscal year 1894. BE believed that $50. .000, 600
more revenue should be raised, but he did
not say whether by taxation or by the
issue of bonds. He also thought the gold
reserve should be raised to S125, 100000.
1t is stated on reliable authority that Sec
retary Foster has bonds ready for immediate
issue; that he has contract with Drexel,
Morgan & Co. to take S25. coo. 900 OF them
and pay for them in gold whenever IL is
necessary to keep the gold reserve intact
This action is understood to have been
taken after consultation with the Incoming
treasurer Carlisle.

no documents or vouchers to show tho

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Ex-Secretary of

OF Alabama sailed on the steamer New

Sea Commission. Speaking to a party OF
friends, who bade him formal good-by on
the steamer, Morgan said: "The Bering
arbitration includes the control of the
Northern Pacific coast. The Nicaraguan
canal, is of concern to the Southern coun-
try and the Haw allan Islands are the key
to the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific is sur
rounded by countries more productive than
those which border on the Atlantic, and
gathered around it is large population.
These three questions make the present
time an important era in the history of our
Government. Never was so much wisdom,
discretion, manhood, foresight and Ameri-
can pluck required as now. Grouped to-
getber. these questions form a pivotal
point in American hstory-a point when
we must either go forward or go back.
There is no standing still. The annexation
of Hawaii will give us chance to dou-
Bile, perhaps to ouadruple, our commerce
on the Pacific. We do not see the outrages
reported which were perpetrated when
Newfoundland, the Bahamas, the Bermudas
