WHAT NEW YORK BANKERS SAY.
The Proposed Bond Issue is Universal.
~ Approved.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1S-Interviewed on
the issue Of s5o.ooo.ooo bonds, Henry Clews
said:
1T is a step in the right direction. II
gives the present administration a policy. q
thing 1T has not had up to date. The want
of a policy thus far has been a powerful
factor in the general business demoraliza-
ton of the country. Therefore I regard
this bond issue extremely important
and desirable step Ii will repair the treas
ury's s10.9D.0oo reserve. give the govern
ment a good working balance. and there viii
come with IL confidence I'm all quarters.
which should give vigorous impetus to
the return of business prosperity.
1T is very important in a go-ahead coun-
try like this where all eyes are turned to-
ward the government in connection with
financial affairs. that the treasury should
be kept in a sound condition. IL the head
is not right and healthy the body cannot
be- The government at Washington occu-
pies in relation to the country the same
position as the head Of an individual TO the
rest of his body. and II st is disordered the
disease spreads through the whole system.
But does IL not seem strange that .
country like this should have to borrow
money in time Of peaceg" was asked.
mo. do not think so. When the civil
war terminated our outstanding bonds bear

5000 100000. The liquidation OF this debt
1T the rate of slo0.0oo.0o per annum is
and the quick reduction Of the debt TO about
$500 600. coo. which now remains. justifies
the government in adding sJo.e8.oo to the
nations obligation at a time like the pres
ent When compared with the 81. 4Vo.0Soo0
lipuidated since 1866 il seems ridiculous for
anybody to object 20 this SJO.ooo.ooo. IL Is
only a temporary debt in any case. as with
a proper adjustment of the tariff and in
ternal revenue laws. the country will soon
be in a position TO give the treasury a sur
plus when IL can start anew to liquidate
the balance of the debt"
other opinions about the bond issue fol-
low:
Iadenburg. Thaiman & Company: We
believe the bonds will be readily absorbed
and the bulk of them will be taken here
Europe does not care TO pay the premium
asked. The general effect ought to b.
good"
l.. Won HOFFMAN, & Company: "The Is
sue will be favorably received abroad We
believe that the issue win be subscribed
four times over"
II. Fiske & Sons, the bond experts: I'VE
believe the issue will have a good effect at
home and abroad. and will be successfully
placed"
Vermilye & Company: THE effect will he
favorable and will tend largely to restore
confidence in our securities abroad"

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.
A Proposition to Change the board OF
Directors.

Directors.
Senator Morrill, today introduced bill
amending the act of 1S45 creating the
Smithsonian institution. The amendment
consists of a provision making the Presi-
dent, Vice President, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court and the heads of the exec
utive departments eX-officio board of di-
rectors. The original act makes the board
consist of the President, Vice President,
Chief Justice, heads of certain departments
that are named, including all then in ex-
istence, and also the commissioner of pat
ents and the governor of the District of
Columbia. Thus the amendment adds the
Secretary of Agriculture and excludes the
commissioner of patents and the long
abolished office of governor of the District
The other amendment expands the umita-
ton placed upon the Secretary of the
Treasury in receipt of sums for the insti-
tuition. The original act authorized him
only to receive sums from the heirs of John
SmithsOn to the extent Of S1OOO,UUO. The
amendment provides that this shall not op-
crate as limitation Of the powers of the
Smithsonian Institution to receive money
or other property by gift, bequest or de-
wise, and to hold and dispose of the same
in promotion Of the purposes of the insti-
tuition. The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on the judiciary.

4 REPUBLICAN CAUCUS,
Senators Informally Discuss Matters Pend
ing in the Upper House.
The Federal Elections Repeal Bill and
the Territorial Subject Talked
Over, but No Action Taken.

The republican Senators met in caucus
this morning to consider matters connect
ed with legislation now before the Senate
and to agree upon some concerted plan Of
action. After an hour of discussion no
definite conclusion was reached, and the
caucus adjourned, after having transferred
the question to the usual committee, which
Will consider the matter further and re-
port to a future caucus.
The only subjects discussed were the
propositions to admit the territories and
the bill to repeal the federal election laws
Upon the latter question there was a una
nimity of sentiment that there was no
good reason for the opposition to so zeal
ously push the question to a vote. 1t was
argued that this was the long session and
that the democrats had no excuse for the
undue haste that appeared to be mani
tested.
The Federal Elections Bill.
There appeared to be no disposition to
resort to so-called filibustering, but the
drift of the discussion showed that
demand would be made for rea-
sonable discussion and debate, and no
time could be fixed for the vote until the
attitude of the democrats was shown. II
tney intended speaking. II was thought
that some of their speeches might need re-
plies. and II they proposed to refrain from
participating. then the debate, Senators
thought, might be shortened. Under the
most favorable circumstances it was agreed
that the vote could not be reached in less
than a fortnight. 1t was not considered
good reason because republicans had en-
deavored to force a new bill through dur
ing short session, that democrats should.
during the opening Of a long session. at
tempt 10 Apply the same procedure.
The Territorial Subject
In the discussion of the territorial subject
1t was seen that while the sentiment was
practically unanimous in favor Of the ad-
mission Of the territories. there was a dir-
ference as to the details. Senators were of
various minds on this subject; and while
some argued for the admission OF the terri
tories as they now stood, there were others
who insisted that there should be some sort
OF consolidation, as, for instance, that
New Mexico and Arizona should be merged
into one state and Utah added to the state
or Nevada. The proposed admission OF
oklahoma gave the caucus some trouble
ana an effort was made to find a way out
OF the diMculty arising from the condi-
tons that exist in Oklahoma and the In
dian territory. where the Indian and the
white people are so thoroughly mixed. Ii
was SHOWN that there were as many white
people in the Indian territory as there was
In that part OF the territory now proposed
to be admitted as a state. Just what was
best TO be done was not agreed upon. The
whole discussion was OF an informal char
acter, and no set speeches were made, al
most every Senator present taking part In
the general discussion.
