WOMEN VOTED STRAIGHT.
Colorado's Entire Satisfaction with n
Female Suffrage Experiment..

BY the United Press.
Denver, Col, Nov. 12-The surpris-
ing interest taken by the women Of
Colorado in the late campaign is be-
ginning to be fully appreciated. Among
the great crowds that thronged Six
teenth street on election night the
women were most prominent. They
screamed with the men whenever the
bulletin boards before the newspaper
Offices and before the county headquar-
ters of the Republican party displayed
returns or estimates of returns from
the state.
The intelligent women have taken q
decided interest in politics. This inter-
est developed in many ways during the
campaign, and was fully demonstrated
by the avalanche of votes cast last
Tuesday. More women voted in pro-
portion to the registry lists than did
the male voters. Several women very
close 10 the century mark went to the
polls and voted. 1t is the general re-
port that the women knew better how
to handle the complicated Australian
ballot than the men did, and fewer mis-
takes were made by them. 1t is also
true that the womn did the most of the
stralght-ticket voting.
The municipal problem in Denver has
awakened a great deal of interest. and
the women, regardless of all party
lines, assert that they will take up the
issue presented in this field in the effort
to secure a better local government. \
better class of office holders will prob
ably result from the change.

Washington, Nov. u.
President Cleveland is likely to raise

December as important, in an economic
sense, as the one which he raised in
1887 in regard to She tariff.
The new measure which he will rec

reform of the currency upon Demo-

credit currency issued by the banks for
the present system of forced legal ten

BANKS WILL PUT UP THE METAL
Presidents Of Five of the Leading Bank
ing Institutions OF New York City
Agree to Furnish Gold 10 Deposit
ors Who Desire to Invest.
BY the United Press.


New York, Nov. II.
According to announcements made on
good authority the government loan
win be issued as soon as the details are
perfected and the circulars are printed,
probably on Wednesday morning.
The issue will be $40, 100000 of per cent.
bonds redeemable in ten years, ana no
upset price will be fixed by the govern
ment. Assurances have been received
by the leaders in the movement which
warrants the assertion that the issue
will be largely over-subscribed, and
bids VIII be on triie better basis than
per cent.
The banks late today refused to make
time loans on the rates which have pre-
vailed, as it is expected that the por-
ton Of the $5O.0OO0OO gold paid for the
bonds will be withdrawn from the New
York banks and trust companies. This
will raise the rate of interest, and in
anticipation of this result the banks
and trust companies decline 10 loan
money until the effect upon interest
rates can be fully calculated.
All bankers concur in the opinion that
the withdrawal of nearly S60,OO0,00O
from general circulation will have more
effect than in last January, as there is
better demand for money at present,
and the improving prospects of busi-
ness Indicate still greater demand
when the manufacturing for the spring
business begins.
Gold Will he Forthcoming.
Five presidents Of national banks,
who are regarded as the leaders Of the
bark presidents in New York city met
in the Office of Henry w. Cannon. presi-
dent Of the Chase National bank, late
today. They We're: Mr.. Cannon: Presi-
dent Nash, of the Corn Exchange Ma
tional bank; Tappen. of the Gallatin
National bank; Simmons, of the Fourth
National. and Williams, of the Chemical
National bank. These gentlemen gath
cred in the office of the Chase National
bank to discuss the impending govern
ment loan. The consensus of opinion
was that the bankers Of New York
would furnish To depostors freely the
gold necessary To- take the bonds. This
decision Is of Importance, as the banks
represented at this informal conference
with the Union Trust and United States
and Central Trust companies, hold the
bulk of the gold in New York.
Presidents King, Stewart and Olcott,
of the trust companies mentioned, have
already extended to the administration
their assurances that the new Issue
will be taken care Of. When the Feb
ruary issue was made depositors had
difficulty in obtaining gold from banks
and many only secured legal tenders.
The government thus failed to secure
over S3S,000,000 gold for the $5SOOOOeO
netted by the sale Of $jOOOO,0OO bond.
The decision OF the bankers to give up
their gold freely will, consequently,
net Il larger amount of gold for
the government as the result OF
Forthcoming $Ic,OOO,OOO bond issue. il
Is understood in New York that
the new issue will be announced within
forty-eight hours, if circulars and sub
scription blanks can be procured in
that time.
