II Causes Much Discussion Among
COngressmcE.
WASHINGTON, Feb 13-There is
much discussion over the stipulation
in the bond contract that in case the
government desires TO issue any more
bonds between now and Oct. l, 1895.
the Morgan-BeImont syndicate shall
have the preference right of purchase
all of the conditions being equal
By some members of the ways and
means committee it is held that this is
an option in favor of the bond syndi-
cate. while others claim that the pro-
vision is just and merely gives the
present purchasers OF the bonds an op-
pOrtUnity to maintain the price at
which the present issue was sold and
not allow a bond at q much more IA
vorable price to be put on the market
to the detriment of the bonds already
purchased by the syndicate. There is
nothing. il is claimed, in the contract
to prevent the treasury from rejecting
offers of the syndicate and making
bond sales elsewhere, nor is it forced
to sell entirely TO the syndicate if il
chooses to sell elsewhere, but it is said
by this very provision the government
is assured that it can dispose Of fut-
ure bond issues on equally favorable
terms to itself. Members of the COM
mittee favorable to the bond resoIu-
ton declare that there is nothing in
the contract that is not right and
PROPER, while those opposed to it say
it should never have been made.

BraineId, who would have voted with
the majority, was absent on the cac-
tus commission. Cooper made the
sensational charge that the resubmis-
s1onists had had meeting at Grand
Forks and sent a committee to St
Paul and Minneapolis to secure funds
from wholesale liquor dealers and rail
roads to carry resubmission; that rail-
roads had been threatened with ad-
verse legislation unless they contrib
uted. Simpson denied, and claimed no
money had been offered or available
The proposition came alone from cities
where regulation against the present
blind pig system was necessary to
good government. The next PROPOSE
ton will be a $1,000 license for cities,
leaving prohibition elsewhere, and car
rying the penalty for non-enforcement
into the constitution. Senator Little
offered memorial to congress for the
restoration of the wool tariff, also a

cial term at Bismarck on twenty days

to S25. Wineman tried to sidetrack re-
submission by a divorce bill, which
comes up tomorrow. Richards intro
duced a bill authorizing the use OF con-
victs for making brick for public i'm

$1,000 for expenses and salaries. The
committee cactus bill will be intro
duced tomorrow as it will be placed
before the commissioners at st. Paul.
The sheep growers dog license bill,

commission $500, unexpected balance,
for services, was defeated.
