Secretary Carlisle Sells Them to
the Stewart Syndicate.
THEY BRING A HANDsoMEPREM

The Syndicate Takes the Whole Issue of
Fifty Million Dollars at 177.077 - The
Government, Therefore, Gets Over Eight
Millions in Premiums.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 27.-Seorctaty Car
Isle yesterday acted in the matter of the
allotment of the $50,000,000 8 per cent.
bonds, bids for which were opened at the
treasury department Saturday. He ac-
cepted the proposals submitted by the syn
dictate represented by Mr.. John A. Stew
art, Of the United States Trust company,
OF New York, and others to tako the en-
tire issue Mt li7.077.
1t is the expectation of officials that the
deposits of gold for the payment of the
bonds will be made very promptly, and as
the understanding is that none of the gold
Is TO be taken from the treasury an early
restoration of the gold reserve to above the
Sl00O0O,000 mark will be the result. The
bonds, including premium, will realize to
the government about s5s, 100000.
The gold balance, which is now in
round numbers $57, 100000, will, if the ex-
pectations Of the officials regarding tho de-
posits of gold for the bonds are borne out,
be Increased to about S1l6,00O,O00. Before
yesterday, however, there had been 81 $780,
600 in gold drawn from the sub treasury
at New York, presumably to be used in
the payment for bonds. The bonds are
deliverable as soon as the gold is deposited,
and as the bureau of engraving and print
ing has been busy ut work preparing for
the issue they will, it is expected, soon be
rcady for distribution.
The bonds are to be delivered as follows
s4o,00O, 900 at New York, s'3.0000o0 at Bos-
ton, s3,o00,0Oo at Philadelphia, &, 900, 900 at
Chicago and s2,0O0,O0O at San Francisco or
other United States treasnries, as may be
approved by the treasury department.

The Mile river exploring expedition sent
out In the spring by the London Anthro-
biological society report some wonderful
''finds" among the old deserted tombs of
the pharaohs. Near Carnao and also at
Heyleh they found dozens of curious carv-
ings on gold which were perfect represen.
tations of the human eye. Some of these
queer plates represented the left eye, but
the majority seem to have been intended
for the right optic. The work is beautl-
fully executed, tho brows, lids and pupils
being deeply carved on rectangular plates
of hammered gold. Each plate seems to
have originally been provided with either
a notch or tongue, the idea being per
