Bonds Sold in Lump-The Issue of
! $5O,00o,00O Taken by NY
-alA aE93os Syndicate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Secretary
Carlisle has accepted the bid of the
New York syndicate, represented by
Mr., John A. Stewart, of the United
States Trust Company, for the en-
tire issue of $50,000,O0O of per cent
bonds, and a preliminary payment
Of $8,000,000 in gold was made to-
day at the sub-treasury in New
York. The offer of the syndicate
|, was S1l7.07T and accrued interest
from the first of November per $500.
Its acceptance, secures for the COVER
ment the most satisfactory loan it
has ever, obtained. The rate of in
iterest is q per cent, lower rate
than has been obtained heretofore,
not excepting the $25,000,00o in 2
per cent. bonds now outstanding.
The 2 per cent. bonds while appar-
emily on a better basis than the new
issue, were given out by Secretary
Window during the early part of
the Harrison administration as pay
ment for portion of the then out
standing 4 per, cent, bonds, which
the government purchased at prem
mm. The premium was sufficiently
large 10 induce holders of 4 per cent.
bonds to exchange them for 2 per
cents, 50 that it may be easily con-
ceivedthe government gained nothing
by the transaction. The only loan
that compares with the present one,
so far as the advantages to the
government are concerned, was that
of last February, when the uniform
interest rate was fixed at 8 per cent.

I Almost Billion Dollars Congress.

---' WASHINGTON, Nov. 24,-Chairman
Sayers of the House Appropriations
Committee said to-day that he would
call a meeting of the committee for
Tuesday, December 4.
"The progress already made by
subcommittee" he said, "is suffi-
cient to indicate. that the pension
and Notifications appropriation bills
will be ready for submission to the
full committee by that time, and it
viii be our aim to have the House
begin its work on the appropriations
with the beginning Of the session, if
SO disposed"
Mr.. Sayers expressed the opinion
that appropriations at the approach
ing session would aggregate about
the same amount appropriated for
the present year, in round numbers
$492,O00,000. While there will be
no river and harbor bill at the com
ing session, expenditures necessary
for carrying on contracts already
made will help to make the total as
high as if there were a separate bill.
New ships nearing completion will
also be among items which will in
crease the totals, as will the provis-
ion for putting the income tax law
into operation.

If the B. & o. r. r. Co. would
utilize their shops here, with the
skilled hands they have, and also use
their large yard for despatching

on funds invested elsewhere. 1t is
strange and strangely so, that, so
much should be expended on untried
experiment as against the grand
work done at home. The cost of, a
