ANOTHER BOND SCHEME.
Plan to Secure Foreign Gold by the Issue
of One Hundred Million Dollars Worth
of Four Per Cents.

By the United Press.
New York, Jan. 31.-Assistant Secre-
tary Curtis was at the sub-treasury
this morning and had a length confer
ence with the representatives of large
foreign houses.
1t is understood that the result Of the
conference is as follows:
A call for subscriptions to 100000, 600
4 per cent. bonds will be issued. The
syndicate of foreign houses will take
whatever bonds the public do not sub
scribe for on basis of 319 per cent.
The foreign bankers We're willing to
take the bonds at once, but the gov
ernment wished to give the public an
opportunity of securing whatever bonds
are desired here. Gold will be brought
from abroad to pay for the bonds taken
by the foreign syndicate.
Mr.. Belmont, it is understood, Of
fered to take S5OO00,000 fours for the
Rothscbilds on a 3ia per cent. basis.
The bankers also offered to deposit $780,
100000 of gold in the treasury at once if
it could be legally arranged that the
treasury receipts should be immediate
ly convertible into bonds when deliv-
cradle.
These propositions will be laid be-
fore a cabinet meeting tomorrow, and
| if deemed satisfactory, call for $780,
OOO,O0 fours is expected as soon as the
cabinet adjourns. The call, it is be-
lieved, will certainly not come later
than Saturday.
The opinion in Wall street is that the
| administration will err to issue a gen.
eral call for subscriptions if bonds can
| be sold abroad by definite agreement
| The gold deposited for bonds taken in
this country will be speedily withdrawn
again as in the case of the last loan.
Only the sale of fifty to seventy-five
millions abroad would effectually put a
stop to the gold drain by checking the
gold exports and restoring confidence
among the foreign investors who are
! pouring their securities into this coun-
try. The per cent. bonds, which it is
proposed to issue, would mature in 1909,
and on a Sla per cent. basis would net
lO5-O3 to the government; on a SA basis
lOL65. The BE per cent. basis would
leave wideimargin for possible profit,
but the foreign houses would have Il
face the possibility of a reluctant in.
Nesting public, and wish to provide
against the possible contingency that a
large portion of the bonds might have
to be carried for a long period before be-
coming absorbed by the foreign public

not only poor substitute, but is
positively injurious to the cotton,
having materially damaged it in
several localities. We understand
that an investigation is being made
and that the parties guilty of viO-
lating the State law relative to the

ished. Unless some decisive step
is taken the farmer will have to
