/ Washington, January 24-The Discussion
of the bond question before Mr. Culber-
1 sons committee tomorrow is awaited with
great interest especially by Southern and
/ Western members, VINO are almost unani-
mously opposed 20 the issue, as stated in
this correspondence last night. AIr. Car
Isle is collecting a big amount Of stnt!su-
ca and legal matter with wnich to appcpr
before the hostile committee and to bc
prepared for some OF the sharp questions
which CuIberzon and Bailey may ask MIN.
Mr.. Bailey IS practically the leader Ia
the house OF the Southern and Western
members OF this opposition, and in speak
ing TO The Post correspondent tonight on
tho subject he completely echoed the sem
timent which the secretary of the treasury
Will have TO cuus)at tomorrow. He sad.
Il think IL beyond any question that rae
secretary OF Nne treasury can se.l bOaQs
unGcr Inc resumption act in order to pro-
vide for the redemption winch 1t requires.
! think Il equally clear. however that alter
he has 500 the bonds ne can not then
use the proceeds 70 meet the current eX
pend.turcs OF the government or 10 re-
deem any currency except tha1 particular
Inn his authority. My objection to the
sale Of bonds Is Inlt there is not the least
necessity 10 sci them for the only purpose
to watch the money derived from their sac
can be applied. No man in the country
ever presents our Grecnblck currency for
redemption except when he desires gold
con Tor export, ana the reserve Is stu
ample TO protect the government from any
embarrassment from this source. Surrey,
If there Is any danger thaT $40 100000 now
in the treasury VIII be sufficient TO meet
all demands Of this kind until congress
could legls.ate on The subject II must
impress us with the supreme folly Of the
United States becoming a gold banker for
all the world and undertaking TO maintain
n god reserve from wn.ch all the
nations OF the earth can draw at pleasure.
With only three hundred and forty-six mil
lion loilaEs of grcenbacks outsthnd.ng a
man never supposcs a reserve
fund really necessary 10 support their
CREDIT, The only object In Keeping a re,
serve Is that that their holder can have his
coin when 4 IS needed for export, and It Is
absolutely useless 10 keep this reserve

this purpose. II god reserve OF 5000

AWA|TIAG THE DECISIONS.
Will Capts. Price and Martens
Be Fined or Dismissed
Police Commissioners May Want to
Fill -Four Vacancies.

The result OF the trials OF Police Cap
talns Price and Martens, who are ac-
cused OF failing to discover disorderly
houses In their respective precincts, is
awaited with increasing anxiety In police
circles.
1t was aid yesterday thai the decisions
would be rendered at the meeting OF the
Police Commissioners to-day. but such
was not the case. The matter did not
coine up at the meeting. one OF the
Commissioners said yesterday that the
voluminous evidence taken in both trials
you'd be read first. and up to late last
night the stenographer had not made his
report.
An important matter was under discus
sion by three of the Commissioners late
Yesterday afternoon In President Mar
tins office at Headquarters. What the
subject was Is not yet apparent. Com
missioner Sheehan was the only MEM
Der OF the Board not present.
Part OF the subject discussed by the
trials of the Police Captains, but no
agreement was arrived at as far as was
learned.
1t is believed tina at least one Of the
Captains. undoubtedly Martens, will be
declared guilty OF conduct u%nbecoming d
police officer. and that "a thirty days'
pay fine will follow. with n transfer to
an obscure precinct. Then It Is believed
that IA thorough reorganization OF Capt.
Martens's precinct Will be one of the
results.
capt. Martens Is a Republican in poll
ties. and that IL why he may fare worse
than Capt Price. who Is "A Republican
backslider. The latter has a greater
pull with the Commissioners.
The. thirty days pay fine and possible
transfer of both Captains on the surface
is, the most feasible outcome Of the
trials. but there is another view of the
With the investigating Com
inittee from Albany at work on Police
Department affairs. II is' not Improbable
that the four Commissioners may lose
their official heads in the general shuttle.
1t !s reasonable, therefore. to y
that the. Police Board would like to
make four new Police Captains, as "A
last II parting official act.
In this fact lies the possibility that
both capts. Martens and Price may be
dismissed from the Department. II
found guilty the Commissioners can do
this. Their deposition would make two
vacancies. There Is one already by the
of Capt Mccullough. and aged
Capt. Ryan could be forced to retire.
