DOESN'T LIKE TT
The President Said to Object
Seriously to the New
Bond Bill.
It Is MOI Thought the Proposed
Bonds Could Be FlOated
at Par.
Also Objected That Popular Sub
scriptiOn Doesn't Protect
the Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Dec. est is under
stood the president and his advisers
strongly oppose the house bond bill.
Aside from the objection that the bonds
are to be redeemed in coin instead Of
gold. it is understood that the require
ment that they are to be sold by sub
scription is disapproved. The exper-
fence of the government, it is said, with
sale by advertisement, shows the in
effectual character Of this means of pro-
lection to the gold reserve. On former
occasions it has resulted in heavy with
drawals of gold in excess of imports
where under sale to the syndicate very
few withdrawals were made for export
during the life of the contract. Again,
in these advertised sales individual sub
scriptions only amount to a small per
cent Of the total, the balance going to
banks and other institutions. The
ability of the government to float any
great amount under the terms of the
pending bill is also questioned. The
1925 4 per cents now net the purchaser
over 3 per cent and the administration
therefore does not believe short term 3
per cent bonds can be sold at par.

THE FIGHT AT >ZEITOUN.

Twenty-Five Hundred Armenians aud
$50 Turks Killed.
CONsTANTINOPLE, Dec. est is Off
cially announced that most obstinate
fighting preceded the capture of lei
toun by the Turks.
Semi-official advices from Zeitoum
say that the Armenians lost 2, 500 killed
during the engagement, and that only
$50 Turks were killed.
The narrow pass between the hills
leading out Of Zeitoun is said to be
crowded with Armenians, men, women
and children, and it is feared they will
be massacred. The ambassadors of
Great Britain, France, Russia, Ger
many, Italy and Austria sent their
dragomans to the Office in order to make
representations with the view of pre-.
venting the Armenians from being mas
sacred, and pointed out tho gravity of
such a deed. Little hope is felt, how
ever, that the representations of the
ambassadors will avail, and the general
belief is that the survivors of the Ar.
menians at Zeitoun have already been
killed.

The best patent flour in Minneapolis
sold this week for $40. Ter barrel the
lowest price ever known since that city
was founded. This of course was only
for the largest lots and immediate deliv-
cry. Prime No. l northern wheat sold a
day or two at 5Ol4 cents in Mime
apolis and 5Ols in Duluth, the lowest
ever known in these two cities in the
history OF the trade. The wheat that
goes into a barrel Of flour at the lowest
price made costs 1920, and the barrel
about 80 cents additional, which leaves
a loss OF some Is cents, were all the
flour made to be patent, but as only
about 70 per cent. is of the highest
grade and the rest runs from red dog
down to bran, there is an additions. loss,
which it is impossible to figure, except
from the records OF individual mills, and
these are not obtalnable.

The vigor with which the republican
congress takes hold OF legislation to pro-
tect the credit OF the nation and restore
prosperity to the country is IN striking
contrast to democratic incompetency.
Already bond bills have been prepared
and a tariff measure passed by the house
which will give relief at M to our
straitened circumstances. These bills
are only for temporary relief, but none
the less important. The tariff bill which
repeats the Wilson-Gorman bill is for
two years and a half, and may be amend
ed in the senate, but in general provides
for a duty Of 60 per cen Of the Mckinley
rates on lumber and wool and woollens,
except the carpetings get "a higher duty.
schedules A, b, G, ID, F, G, II, l, j, l., NJ
and N OF the present tariff law are raised
Is per cent all round, save that no duty
shall exceed the Mckinley rate, nor any
increase take effect if the present rate is
higher than the Mckinley rate. Bill
No. l, submitted to the full committee, is
the bond bill, and authorizes the secre
tary OF the treasury, at his discretion. to
issue 3 per cent ive-year coin bonds "for
the redemption Of United, States legal
tender notes and for other purposes"
the bonds 20 be ioated by public SUBJ
scription. 1t also authorizes the issue of

States to be taken in payment therefor.
The proceeds Of these certificates shall

ticianclas.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.

Absence of News Of tho Movements Of
Insurgents Alarming Havana.
HAVANA, Dec. 2S.-The absence Of
news of the movements of the insur-
gents is causing some anxiety among
their friends here. The only news OBJ
tainable is that furnished by rumor,
and if the authorities are in possession
of any additional facts all such matter
is carefully suppressed. In the mean
while, active preparations are being
made here for the defense Of the city
and forwarding to the front all the
troops which can be spared. 1t is un-
derstood that the Spanish columns i'll
the rear Of the i%nsurgent army have
been ordered to concentrate a quickly
as possible to the frontier of Matanzas,
and that every effort is t. be made to
prevent the retreat of the Cubans into
Santa Clara. While these preparations
are being made to apparently stop the
insurgents from escaping back into
Santa Clara, the
Land Fertilization Of Havana
are receiving attention day and night.
A number of additional earthworks
have been thrown up during the last
month also, and these are being hastily
completed and supplied with guns as
rapidly as possible. The magazines are
being plentifully supplied with ammu-
milton and the outposts of the Spanish
troops around Havana are being
strengthened and more securely forti-
fed.
Throughout the night and all day
there has been an air of hurry and
anxiety at the different headquarters
here which does not seem to indicate
that the supreme authorities are in any
way satisfied that the insurgents are re-
treating, and, if military activity goes
for anything, the most determined eff
forts are being made to prevent a sur
prise.
Says Insurgents Are Retreating.
1t is reported here that the insurgents
have taken up a line of retreat from
about the city of Matanzas through
Sidra, Navajas and C~orralfalso in the
direction of Jaguey Grande, in the
southern part of Matanzas. This is be-
yond Union Reyes. where it is reported
that the Spanish troops were being con-
centrated TO cut off their retreat. The
insurgent leader Acebo was executed
during the day at C%ienfuegos.

The Men saloonkeepers n and
Hate.
Liberty Bell, an organ OF the liquor
traffic, says:
"We have every respect for a minister

sincere in their belief. 1t is their duty
to preach, and so long az they preach

and gambling and horse racing, and
about saloons being the curse Of the

"But there are a class of preachers

increaslng-who are not content to stop
at this, but have the sudacity to declare
from the pulpit that no man can con-
sistently serve the Lord and vote with
any political party that does not in its
platform condemn our business; these
are the men we fear and hate"
Sentiment along the line of temper
ance reform has developed rapidly dur
ing the past few years.

Though the friends Of the saloon may
