WALL STREET Waiting
Operations Practically Suspend
ed to Await a Government
Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 1895-Wall street s
chief interest again today centered in the
pendency of another bond issue. That
an issue is near at hand, whether or not
Congress takes action, no Wall street
man doubts. 1t is also believed that the
arrangements for its underwriting have
been practically completed. The visit to
Washington this week of Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan, whose firm headed the last
bond syndicate, was a step in the mat
ter. Since Mr.. Morgan returned numer-
Gus informal interviews have taken place
in the Office of J. P. Morgan & Co. Va
rious prominent bankers and heads of
large financial institutions have talked
with Mr.. Morgan.
They have been unwilling to make any
statements as to what has been done or
is about to be done, but that arrange
ments bearing upon the subscription to
a. new issue of bonds have been made,
Wall street thinks is positive, so far
as anything can be positive, which has
not yet received the verifcation of a
formal announcement.
In the opinion; OF those % well able 1;,ot to
to exceed the last issue. 1t is thought
the amount offered will be s100,000,0 600.
No obligation, it is believed, will this
time be undertaken by the underwriters
of the issue to maintain the Govern
ment gold reserve, though otherwise the
terms under which the issue will be made
are likely to be the same as those of
the last loan.
Until everything has been arranged in
regard to the underwriting of the issue,
Wall street in general will probably be
kept guessing. 1t is altogether improbable
that any informa ton will be given by
those directly interested until thal time.
When everything, however, is ready, a
formal statement is likely to be made.

Another amendment inserted by the
committee in Section l today provides
that the bonds shall be payable in fifteen
years after their issue.
In the Senate the House bill OF yester-
day "to temporarily increase the reve-
nue. to meet the expenses of the govern
ment and provide against deficiency,
was received from the House. read a
Finance Committee.
Mr. Hale (Rep., Me.) introduced a
joint resolution authorizing and direct
ing the Secretary of the Navy to accept
the ram Katahdin and make her part
of the United States Navy. He asked
present consideration of the joint reso-
lution; stated the facts in the case-how
the ram fell a little below the contract
requirements of speed and said that
both the President and the Secretary OF
the Navy were in favor of her accept
ance and wished to authorize it.
Mr.. Pettigrew (Rep., S. ID opposed
the joint resolution as establishing a
bad precedent; but, after hearing Mr.
Hale's explanation he withdrew his op-
position.
Mr.. Hill Dem., N " introduced a
joint resolution directing that any bonds
hereafter issued under the laws now in
force may, in the discretion of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, be made pay
able in United States gold coin of the
present weight and fneness, or in stand
ard silver dollars, at the option of the
holders of such bonds; but no bond con-
tanning such option shall bear rate OF
interest exceeding three per cent. per
annum, payable quarterly
Mr.. Hill addressed the Senate in sup
port of the joint resolution.
In his speech Mr.. Hilh said:-s"The op-
ton is here presented to save the peo-
pie millions of dollars in the shape OF
interest; and why; not avail ourselves
of it? If those who have money to loan
are willing to charge US a lesser rate of
interest if the bonds to be issued are
made payable in gold it is difficult to see
what reasonable objection can be urged
to making them 50 payable at the option
of the holder. Why" he asked, SHOULD
any prejudice against gold be permitted
to interfere with such transaction?
Why should any question about independ-
ent or international free coinage be al
lowed to prevent the iconsummation OF
a favorable bargain to the government
and the people?'

HELD FOR GRAND JURY,
Emma Ford and George Washington
Attacked an officer.

Emma Ford and George Washington
Attacked an officer.
Emma Ford and her admirer, George
Washington, were prisoners In Judge Mil
lers court this morning, and the charge
against them was using personal yio-
lence toward Thomas Hanley, a member
OF the police force. The officer appeared
In court to prosecute the case, and the
several yards of cotton about his head
gave the court an idea of the extent of the
injuries that had bean inflicted Emma
Ford started the trouble which had such
a painful ending, and fortunately for the
officer a Bulldog revolver in the hands
of the man did not go off when the trigger
was pulled, and that was the only reason
Why the case was in court instead of be-
fore the coroner.
Emma Ford is better known to the police
of the third precinct than any other of her
sex and her reputation is that of police
fighter"
During the past eight years, so Sergt.
keefe said this morning, she has whipped
almost every policeman in the precinct ard
only once did an officer use his club on her
She was arrested last week, in company
with another woman, and she succeeded in
convincing the court that she was in the
right and was discharged.
Yesterday Emma had been drinking and
was near her home in Green's alley near
10th and L streets, when Officer Harley
came along and informed her that she
would have to 20 to the station for dis
orderly conduct.
Emma knew she had whipped many po-
licemen during the past several years, and
she thought she would have no difficulty
in administering this officer a thrashing
When she had informed the officer that
she would not go with him she started to-
ward her house. Reaching a vacant lot
she turned and said: If you come up
here - I'll kill YOU
Then the officer started toward Emma
and she entered the house. The officer fol-
lowed, and when they got in the house to-
gether the woman. SO the officer said, made
the remark: Now, we've got the Irish
- in here, let's give it to him."
Then there was trouble. The policeman
dubbed the woman and shot at her, while
George Washington, who was in the house,
dubbed the policeman, and attempted to
use a weapon on him, but did not sue
coed. He pulled the trigger several times
weapon, and the filled chamber was not
reached before he was relieved Of the
weapon.
The officer attempted to fire a second
shot, but his weapon missed fire. large
crowd gathered in the alley, but none OF
them went to the officers assistance.
When quiet was restored, the officer left
the place with his prisoners. His head had
been badly battered by George Washing
ton, while Emma had scratched him and
The woman's head was injured and her
dress was stained with blood.
officer Hanley although badly used up,
succeeded in holding his prisoners and
landing them in the station.
Judge Miller heard the evidence of sew
$500 security for the action of the grand
jury.
The court did not dispose of the charge
of disorderly conduct against the woman.

Victory for the Government.

Judge Bum, in the United States court
at Madison. Wis, Saturday overruled the
demurrer of defendants in the case of
the government against Heydlauff. Nc
Cord, Osborn ct al. charged with conspi-
racy to defraud the government by
scheme to obtain title to large tracts of
pine lands in the Ashland district. Heyd-
lauff was receiver at the land office at Ash
land. The demurrer was based on the
ground that the facts alleged did not con-
stitute cause of action, and was strongly
contested. The decision means that the
cases will be tried according to the indict-
ment, and will probably come up In June.
