BONDS ARE CHEAPER.
Made Less Valuable BIZ the
Threatened Currency Bill.
cARNEe'E's CALL ON HERBERT.


Washington City. Dec. .s-Secretary
Carlisle had nothing 10 say today in re-
gard 10 the published statement TO the
effect that the new currency plan. il was
thought, was responsible for the decline
or the price or the new issue OF bonds TO
q point below the syndicate price. As
sisiant Secretary Curtis was of the opili-
ion that the pending currency bill had
little il anything to do with the matter.
The fact that several small holders had
lquidated their bonds he regarded as not
significant. In many cases these liQuida-
tons, he thought, were for the purpose OF
raising funds 70 meet obligations falling
due January 1. In Mr.. Curtis opinion
there was TO significane in the reported
fact that the syndicate had sold only 50
per cent. of their holdings. IL Was his I'M
Outstanding that many of the larger
holders, PAL ticularly trust and insurance
companies, had purchased bonds with
view to holding them permanently as a
security or reserve The bonds with ac-
csued interest should now be worth ap-
proximately III 5i5 on the basis Of the pur-
chase price.

The recent change by which the Post
Intciiige ncer absorbed the Telegraph is an
important one and viii directly affect the
business interests of Seattle. Had the
Telegraph been conducted as il was under
iss original management there is reason
for believing that the paper would not
so soon have given up the ghost. Wnile
it was a good newspaper, il Is 10 dis
paragement TO say that the P--I. has been
a better, and that with its years Of es-
adjustment, known ability and large cir
cuIation, ii has easily held first place as
the representative paper OF the North
west. In many particulars It IS q SUI
perior paper to any published on the Pa
cific coast. and with the Eew arrange
nlents it may be depended upon 10 show
even more vigor ana take higher rank
as newspaper. There is no denying the
truth that Seattle has been supporting
two first-class morning newspapers, either
OF which was a credit to the city and
state when there was only patronage TO
sustain one wei. The existence OF both
called for a greater tax upon the business
men of the community than was neees-
sary TO the profitable advertising Of their
stocks, and the balance of expense de-
pended upon political generosity. With
the discontinua1ce of the Tslegraph a
large part of the tax upon business
mes will be removed ant. the P.-I. VIII be
in q better position tran ever TO convey
TO consumers the announcements of dealers
who advertise en- business lines solely.
The evening field is well filled by the
Press Times. published BY John w. Pratt,
and the News, BY T. IL. Dempsey and
others. II Is safe to say that il will be a
long time before such another Important
change In the newspaper field will take
place in Seattle as thar of the absorption
OF the Telegraph By the Post-Intell!-
gencer.

ms WIFE HAS VANISHED.


The people of Latona are considerably
agitated over the sudden and mysterious
Disappearance of Mrs Ida NJ. Castletcn,
buxom woman. aged about Is years. whose
husband is employed at the Washington
iron works as a moulder. The unlocked
for event took place last Christmas even
ing. and. although Mr.. Castleton has ex-
erted himself In no small degree to find
out his wife's whereabouts. he has so far
been unsuccessful. Mr.. Castleton refuses
TO talk about the case or give his opinion
as 10 the probability that Mrs. Castleton
eloped with Pascal j. Douglas. q young
man who lives in the same neighbcrhood,
and who left Latona on the sane night as
Mrs. Castleton. Young Douglas returned
home yesterday. but he was alone and
from people who talked with him IL would
appear that he had nothing TO say about
the whereabouts or Mrs. Castleton.
The disappearance of the woman is
made more serious by the fact that she is
mother and has left a email child Her
husband is a hard worGing, honest man,
who has the sympathy and respect OF all
who know him
