DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
Secretary Carlisle Gives a Hearing tn
the commissioners.

Secretary Carlisle is engaged in the
thanI.less, but important work of preparing
estimates fer the support of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year for submits
sion to Congress on the day of meeting.
AS a general proposition. he has found 1T
necessary to curtail the estimates submitted
by each of the executive departments, in
order to bring the grand total within the
economical limit fixed by the President.
With the others the estimates of the Dis
trct Commissioners come in for reduc-
ton. In order to scale them down with the
least 20: sible detrin emit to the interests of
the service, Seer etary Carlisle gave hear
ing to the District Commissioners at the
Treasury Department this morning. Audi
tor Petty was also present. The Secretary
lstened attantively to the arguments of
the Commissioners in support of their esti-
mates as already submitted, and promised
to carefully consider tEeir wishes in the
fiji al revision of the figures. He would not
be able to pass upon the estimates finally,
he said until he had received the complete
estimates from all the other departments
of the government. Their amount and i'm
portarce would naturally influence him in
the consideration of those of the District.
The Commissioners were especially solicit
Gus for the retention of the estimate of
100000 fer beginning work on municipal
building.

RUM ORED BOND ISSUE
Secretary Carlisle Denies That Any Steps
Have Been Taken
A Consultation Behind Closed Doors
mt the Treasury Department
This Morning.

Secretary Carlisle is authority for the
statement that there is no present intention
of issuing any more government bonds. This
statement was made in direct contradiction
of a report current in Wall street and pub
lfshed in ell the New York newspapers, that
another bond issue of $50,OOO.OOO had been
determined on as absolutely necessary for
the protection Of the gold balance. 1t is
said this afternoon, on authority, that Sec
rotary Carlisle has not made the slightest
change in his financial policy, and that he
sees no reason for the report that he pro-
poses to do so.
What Secretary Carlisle Says.
In conversation with visitor this morn
ing, he said that these constantly recurring
rumors about more bonds were evidently put
in circulation by a certain class of brokers
in Wall street for the purpose of influencing
the market, and also for the purpose of fore
ing another issue of bonds. He is also
quoted having said:
THE public credit will be main tained
and III to this end it is found necessary to
issue bonds, they will be issued without the
least hesitation, but no action or this kind
is in immediate contemplation. If there
should be heavy and continued withdra walls
of gold for export it might be necessary i'm
order to maintain the government credit,
to place another loan, but the present con-
ditions do not warrant such action"
ConsuItatiOn Behind Closed Doors.
The publication of the bond story created
considerable of stir at the Treasury De-
partment, and Secretary Carlisle, Assistant
Secretary Curtis and Assistant Treasurer
Jordan were early in consultation behind
closed doors. The last named came over
hurriedly from New York to confer with
his superior officials in regard to the sub
ject While they were in consultation Fri
vate Secretary Thurber came over from the
White House to see Secretary Carlisle. In
asmuch as Mr.. Thurber has not seen the
President since yesterday afternoon, ii Is
not likely that he had any message to de-
liver from him in regard to the bond sem
sation, which was not sprung on the public
until this morning.
The Associated Press says ii can be
stated with the utmost positiv eness that
there are no preparations now being made
at the treasury for another bond issue.
A Positive Statement.
Notwithstanding these assertions to the
contrary, the New York Times, which
usually speaks with authority on the acts
of this administration. publishes a positive
assertion that the President has decided to
issue bonds to maintain the gold reserve at
$lUO, 90 The treasury, it declares, needs
about $2O,OOOOOO, and Congress will not be
asked to authorize the call. which, accord
ing to this story, to be made within three
days allowing ten days for subscriptions.

THEY LOOKED RESPECTABLE.
But Are Held on "a Charge of Attempt
ed Robbery.

Two young women, well dressed and
good looking. were prisoners in Judge Mil
ler's court today and they were repre-
scented by Lawyer Darlington. One of
them, whose name was given as Iona
Creagh. alias Green, met a charge of
grand larceny of $40 from a young man
named w. Simon Capp. a real estate man
from Norfolk, Va. The other woman gave
her name as Bessie Dayton, her alias being
given as Dolly Mitchell. Iona Creagh told
Judge Miller that she received weekly
remittance of $3.50 from her husband. who
is New York real estate dealer. These
women occupy a room i'm the Hotel John
son, where it is alleged the larceny occurred
at early nour this morning. 4.r4s-.
According to the evidence in the case,
Capp made the acquaintance Of the women
at the race track yesterday, and last night
he met them on Pennsylvania avenue, and
they drank two bottles of wine. Then Capp
and Iona went to the room occupied by the
women, and there he charges, she robbed
him. There was lively tusse In the room,
and Capp's new overcoat received a large
dose of ink, which necessitated it being sent
to a cleaner.
The Mitchell woman appeared on the
scene just before the ink bottle episode and
took hand in the affair.
Policemen Kilmartin Emmert and Barry
responded to the complaint made by Capp,
and found the women in the hotel room.
While they were there two men appeared in
the room. They said they roomed in. the
hotel, and one of them claimed that he was
the owner of bottle of whisky that was
on the bureau. Iona objected, and, in her
efforts to prevent being arrested, she strip
ped herself of her clothing, and 1t was only
when the officers threatened to wrap her in
a sheet and take her that she put on her
clothes and went with them.
Judge Miller commented on the fact of
the two men appearing in the room, and
it turned out that they were in the audi
ence. 60.
Iona was held in 81, 900 security for the
action of the grand jury, and Bessie was
required to give real estate security in the
sum of $3.50, or go down on the farm.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

NEW YORK, November IO.-The rebuke
administered to the pessimistic element
during the last few days was emphasized
by further advance in prices this morning
and almost complete humiliation of the
short interest. The investment public, as
usual was slow to realize the change in the
speculative undertone. and is willing to
purchase, at prevailing prices, stocks which
lad nothing to recommend them when five
points cheaper. Commission houses report
a good demand for all classes of securities,
and the present movement, although found
ed on sentiment, seems likely to be further
ed by legitimate purchases for long account

suited, and until they are the present move

clearly outlined than at present. Railroad
earnings will be no longer compared with
the heavy worlds fair traffic of a year ago,

ulative factors before the year is out.
The willingness to disregard all but the
favorable elements now existing is espe-
ciafiy marked in the case of Sugar. The
reopening of the refneries and the demands
of the trade for a replenishing of depleted
stock Of the refined product are utilized. to
good advantage, because it suits the pur-
poses of the manipulators to mark up the
price of the stock. The possibility that
Congress may impose certain adverse re-
strictions on the operators of the company

of this policy can only be determined after
