A REV SUTTON IN BoGOTA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Senators known
 10 be friendly to the policy oi the admin | istration are being flooded with telegrams I from all parts of the country from business
 men and mercantile men urging them to | stand by the recommendations made by
 MT. Cleveland on the financial question
 and insisting that something shall be done. | These telegrams are addressed chiefly to | the senators from eastern and middle l states, and the senators from those sec- | tions have quietly canvassed the situation 1 for the purpose of showing their constitu- | ents just how the vote h the senate would
 stand on any proposition that might be ad- | vanced. This canvass shows that upon
 any legislation on the line asked for by the | president the vote iu the senate would be | 39 for the administration measure and 47 l against it. The presence of Messrs. Clark
 and Wilson Of Washington will make the
 majority two larger, for both of them are
 silver men and opposed to any sort of an | issue of bonds.
 The following poll of the senate, made | by those who favor the presidents recom- l mendation, shows the temper of the senate l on the question:
 For the bond issue-Messrs. Aldrich ,Alli-
 son, Brice, Burrows, Caffery Camden Carey, Chandler, Cullom, DayIs, Dixon, Dolph,
 Frye, Gailinger, Gibson, German, Gray,
 Hale, Hawley, Higgins, Hill, Hoar, Lind l say, Lodge, McMillan, McPherson, Man
 derson, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Morrlll,
 Murphy, Palmer, Plat, Proctor, Qaay, | Wilson of 1owa-39.
 l Against-Messrs. Allen, Bate, Berry,
 Blackburn, Blanchard, Butler, Gail, Cam
 Faulkner, George, Gordon, Hansbrough, Harris, Hunton, lrby, Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, McLaurin, Martin,
 Mantle, Mills, Mitchell of Oregon, Nor

 1 TREASURY GOLD GOES DOWN AGAIN. | The treasury gold reserve stood at the l close of business at S42, ,749, ,7S7. The with l drawals for the day amount to the trifiing l sum of $15, ,000, taken out at New York. No intormrtion whatever was obtained at | the treasury department about an impcnd- l ing bond issue. It is positively stated, all l reports to the contrary notwithstanding, l that no preparations in the way of prepar- | ing plates for such issue have been
 made so far. The we'll equipped condition
 of lhe bureau of engraving and printing | would enable 1t to promptly carry out an | order to print bonds as soon as the descrip- 1 tion of bonds to be struck O fl is determined l upon.
