A Statement from Authoritative Sources as
 to the Procedure.

Washington, April 25.-The argument to be made before the supreme court Monday, May 6should Justce Jackson full fill the present expectation and be on thJ bench at that time, twill be upon the whole merits of the income tax cases and not simply upon the question whether or not there shall be a rehearing. This was learned this morning from authoritative sources.
 Should Justice Jackson not be here there will be no argument, and in any event the decree of the court announced on the 9th instant will not be vacated nor set aside until a majority of the justices have determined that it shall be after hearing another argument. Should there be such a reversal of the court S position it will be announced upon dis hearing. There will be but one argument. It has not been settled who shall partic- ipate in it.

jection will be offered on the part of the United States.
 It is positive that no United States war vessel has been ordered to Corinto. The two American warships reported in a Nicaragua cable dispatch as having been seen on their way to Corinto are mythi- cal creations, growing out of the feverish hopes of the Nicaraguan people of United States intervention. It is conceded even by friends of Nicaragua that no harm can come to Corinto or to the republic itself from a temporary occupation of Corinto by the British. It is believed that after a few days have elapsed and the United States should fail to receive any extension of time or change in the mode of payment as asked at Nicara- gua's request, Nicaragua will then grace fully yield to the inevitable and come for ward with the indemnity.

WILL ISSUE BONDS.
Latest Story Told About President
Cleveland.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Journal
this morning says: President Cleveland
has decided that he will not wait for
action by Congress before making an
other issue of bonds. The Washington
authorities are already in correspond
ence with the New York bankers rela-
tive to the issue and it is probable
that the bankers will accept their pro-
position. Here is the proposition:
When the gold reserve falls to 49,
100000 the banks shall deposit S25,000,-
900 worth of gold in the subtreasury
and take in return per cent. bonds
on per cent basis The decline of
the gold reserve to a danger point last
spring forced the government to pay
934 per cent. for the gold procured from
the acknowledgment syndicate. Credit
has been re-established by the opera
ton and the administration desires to
take advantage of the greater business
confidence now prevailing to secure the
gold at the low rate of 8 per cent.
