WILLING TO FLOAT BONDS.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Regarding reports
in banking and financial circles that the
plan for new government loan for $780,
100000 has been agreed on, the Evening Post
says: "Mr. J. p. Morgan is willing to help
the government by floating new loan of
s1O0. 100000. This he will do in conjunction
with and by the cooperation of the banks,
If it is desired by the government Negotia-
tions have been advanced by him far enough
with the banks to enable him to enter into
such an arrangement with the treasury
The plan is for Mr.. Morgan and a syndicate
organized by him to take S50,00OU00 of bonds
at once, paying gold for them in INSTALL
ments as the money may be required, and
also to agree to take $50 100000 more On the
same terms If the treasury should later need
further gold. 1t only depends now on Mr.
Cleveland whether such an arrangement
shall be carried out. Persons in a position
to know The facts to some extent said it
was understood that the Messrs. Rothsch,ld
did not care to have anything to do with the
loan and, therefore. Mr.. Belmont, would
not be a party to the transaction as their
agent, although his firm might possibly take
some of the bonds.

noon on board the Umbria for England. In

Mr.. Glennie was a little more commune
cative, and, when asked what was
the reason of Dunraven's sudden de-
parture, said. ominously: 1T is a
very sad ending" Mr. Gennie | did
not feel inclined to qualify nor define this
statement when urged to do So He said
that there were only two men left behind
TO look after the interests OF Lord Dun
raven, namely, lawyer Asquith and Secre-
tary Hamilton. The reporter asked Mr..
Glennie If all the evidence in the case. as
far as the Dunraven part of it went, had
been submitted. The reply was: You can't
expect Lord Dunraven TO speak before the
committee when he is the ocean and as
to my testimony-well. I'll be on the ocean,
too.
AS the ship moved out from the dock a
few of those who knew him said: Good
bye, Lord Dunraven, but the moment the
cry went up his lordship hurried TO the
other side of the steamer. Mr.. GIennie
however remained leaning over the rail

MERELY HAYWARD LIES.
Mr.. Hale Denounces Part Of the Con.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2S. - William E.

the publication of one of the suppressed por-
tions of Harry Hayward's confession, to the
effect that he QIayward) had caused the
murder of DR.. Haworth, the husband Of Mr..
Hale's daughter. in Chicago, in April, 1894,
said: There is absolutely no truth In the
story / was called into the Hayward case
while he was undergoing an examination at
the West Hotel, and 1 was his counsel until
other counsel came into the case. While he
was In Jail information came to me of a
plan to lynch him, and it was thought best
to remove him to st. Paul. He was in great
fear of a mob and sent for me- When /
came he stated that he did not believe he
would live TO be tried, and wanted to make
a statement to me, so that If he was hung
his parents would know the exact facts. He
then went on and told the story Of the Cling
murder. substantially as Blixt told it on
the stand. He did not then, or at any time,

DR.. Haworth's death. But / withdrew from
the case, knowing his guilt. l thoroughly
investigated the cause OF DR.. Haworth's
death at the time IL occurred, and had
post-mortem examination by some of the
best physicians In Chicago, and l want to
say now that all the facts and circum-
stances absolutely preclude the idea that
Hayward or any other person had anything
to do with his death. Any statement that
Hayward may have made concerning this
matter is absolutely false and untrue The
statement that Hayward was in Chicago at
the time of DR.. Haworth's death. and noti-
