AGAINST BONDS
A GROWING SENTIMENT OF OPPOSITION IN
TEE HOUSE,
Belief that Eastern Financisrs are Depicting the
Treasury Of Gold in Order to b Ready for an
garly Issue Of Bonds-Ths Reserve Impaired
By This Movement


Special - ths Rs0isss--
WASHINGTON, December 20.-There
is evidence of a growing sentiment in
the House favorable TO 8 resolution for
bidding the Secretary of the Treasury
TO make another bond issue. The fact
that over twenty-five millions of gold
mas been Withdrawn from the treasury
since the bond issue of few weeks ago,
leads members of both parties in the
House 10 believe that Eastern financiers
are simply depicting the gold reserve
in order 10 have gold in hand by the
time the next bond issue is made.
1t will be rsmembe that the Presi-
dent in his message 70 Congress, plainly
indicated his purpose to make another
bond issue IL necessary. IL is thought
that the moneyed men are getting into
line for that issue, and while supplying
themselves with cash to take advantage
Of IL, are at the same time helping TO
bring il about.
The movement adverse TO bond issues
was az first confined to q few members
who were opposed TO increasing the
public debt under any circumstances
Prominent men Of both parties are now
joining the movement, however, belieV-
iug that it will result, in s small degree
at least, In protecting the gold reserve
and stopping the withdrawal Of gold.
They say that with no prospect for a
bond issue the moneyed men will have
no occasion 10 withdraw gold, and that
any harm TO the national credit which
would follow the Impairment OF the re-
serve would hurt them. Therefore, ii
will be 70 their interest to help 10 main
tain the reserve.
In the absence ot having recourse TO
q eond issue the responsibility Of main
tanning the reserve will rest somewhat
upon the moneyed men themselves. II
Is thought that a resolution 10 stop
bond issues would pass the House at
this time and the only reason that it Is
not Immediately proposed by the party
leaders is the fear that If joint reso-
luton should pass the Senate and
House the President would refuse TO
sign it and a simple House resod dlion
would be ignored by him. 1t is pOssi-
Die, however, joint resolution may be
attempted, II the withdrawal Of gold
keeps up at the present rapid rate.
Every one believes that under exist
ing circumstances another bond Issue
will be rendered necessary within thirty
days. The discussion Of the currency
bill is alarming capital with fears OF a
panic in case Of it's passage and 1t is be-
lieved that banks all over the country
will begin TO hoard their gold aud draw
all they can from the treasury in antici-
patton OF trouble.

COLDBL0ODED MURDER.
The Shocking Discovery Of Officers at
Topeka, Kansas.
ROBBERY WAS THE INCENTIVE,
Though the Villains Had Outraged
the Woman Before Taking Her
Life-She Was Quite Prominent
In Topeka, and Was Supposed
to Have Considerable Money.

TOPEKA, kansas. December 2o.-Ths
body Of Mrs. A. d. Mstson, stin and cold,
lying in pool OF her own blood, was dis
covered in her home at Fifteenth and Mon
roe streets. at 3 80 this afternoon. To all
appearances the woman had been dead
about ten days.
1t is undoubtedly case Of cold-blooded
murder, with robbery as the incentive.
Mrs. Matson lived alone aud IL was gener-
ally supposed she had considerable money
about the house A criminal assault had
preceded the horrible murder.
The only person who seems 10 know
anything about IL is a deaf and dumb coli
ored man named George Knight, who saw
TWO men probably on the evening OF the
llth, enter the window Of the murdered
woman's house and afterwards saw them
run away.
No Ineligible account can be arrived at
from Knight except through his brother,
VINO is the only person who can under
stand him. The two will be brought to-
gether tomorrow 81 the coreuer's inquest
The first inkling OF the murder was made
known this afternoon by milk boy who
had noticed the can Of milk ne left on
Mrs. Malson's step ten days ago bad been
untouched. He Immediately made known
his fears 70 the police aad al Investigation
followed. Officers dispatched 10 the scene
were unable 70 gain admittance. and break
ing in the rear door, soon learned the
cause thereof. Il q little back room. lying
on her back in pool Of blood long
since dead. lay the murdered woman. Two
sacks of potatoes had been rudely thrown
over head, while bundle Of rags and old
clothes half covered her body. An In
vestigation showed the most brutal treat
ment had been dealt the woman before
her life had been taken. Her clothes were
thrown up over her head and clotted
blood held them TO the floor The entire
top of her head was crushed in, evidently
accomplished by some heavy blunt instru-
ment. She lay on her back with her arms
at her sides, her head turned TO the right,
her right limb straight out and the other
drawn up a little.
Mrs. Matson was member OF the
Topeka Equal Suffrage Association, and a
prominent suffrage worker. SFor many
years she was a member Of the city board
of education from the Fifth ward and took
an active interest In the city schools. She
was at one time a city teacher and
was very well known locally. She was
generally supposed 70 have considerable
money, aud owned Eve or six houses on the
East Side. Her husband left her four or
i've years ago and took up homestead In
California, where he has since lived.

BASE BALL QUARREL.
Byrne and Barnie Have a Red Hot

FRED PFEFFER NOT REINSTATED.

New YORK, December 20 The National
Board Of Arbitration met here to-day 10
take action on the question OF relnstetlng
Pfeffer and Barnie. Barnie appeared De-
fore the board and, after answering ques-
tious, was asked 70 sign an agreement sim
liar TO that signed oy Buckenberger. Bar
ME consulted his lawyers and reIuseu 70
do it.
Pfeffer was not present, but offered a
long statement in writing, covering MS
alleged connection with the new league
last fall,
aAfterithe meeting President Byrne said
that all Barnie had said had
been taken down stenographically
and with the finding would oe
made public later: He announced that he
and Young and Soden had signed recon-
mendation that Pfeffer's disabilities Do not
removed because his statement had not
been satisfactory. AS 70 Barnie, the dlsa-
0ility was removed, but the order removing
1t ends asSfollows:
'In taxing this action this board desires
to say that while Mr.. Barnie admits he
was factor ia the framing OF the original
national agreement, he declines IN any way
to put himself on record as owing ale
glance to the national agreement OF pro-
fessional base ball clubs. All parties lden-
titled with the national agreement can
take due notice Of the ABOVE facts and gov
ern themselves accordingly"
This part Of the paper is offensive 70
