ment that the administration is contem-
plating another bond issue, but it is
significantly added that there is enough
money in sight to keep things running
until about August l, and therein lies
the milk IN the cocoanut. 1t required
all the influence at the command OF the
administration To keep down an open
revolt among tbs democrats in Con-
gress VIII, n Secretary Carlisl, issued
those bonds few months ago, and
now that the administra ion hos fewer
offices to give out it would be still more
difficult. For that reason the admins
tration wishes to postpone another
issue OF bonds until Congress has
adjourned, and it hopes that il will
have adjourned by the first of August.
The southern democrats in the House
are in state of mind over the hap
penings OF the week in Congress, and
they are indulging in threats which are
not calculated to increase the serenity
Of the bosses Of the party. They do
not like the protection given 10 the SUI
gar trust by the adoption of the
Cleveland-Carlisle sugar trust schedule
OF the tariff bill. and say they will defeat
it when the tariff bill goes back to the
House. and to show their ability TO do
it they refer t. the very decisive ma
jOrily by which the House defe ated a
proposition to put duty of one-fOurth
OF one cent a pound upon refined
sugar. They ara even worse disgrun-
tied over the death blow administered
by the House to the favorite scheme of
southern wildcat money
