Rumor That the Paper for 100000

WASHINGTON, Feb. $50 far as can
DO learned, there has been no change in
the bond situation. All the ofioiala are
extremely reticent on the subject, and
decline to either affirm or deny any Of
the rumors brought to their attention.
One rumoy. which had an apparently
good basis, was that the bonds for the
new iseue were already being printed at
the bureau OF engraving and printing,
but like the others, it could not be con-
firmed. The concensua of opinion is
that bond ieeue 10 foreign purchasers,
directly or indirectly, will be made very
soon, aud that ell arrangements to this
end are substantially complete
The amount which the administration
contemplatea issuing, aud may give
notice at any time now, is 500, 900, 600
TO run 80 years. Arrangements, it is be-
lieved. have been practically concluded,
assuring the government that thees
bonds will be paid for with foreign gold.

NOW COMES MIR. REED.
The Republican Leader From Maine Has
Financial scheme.

The Republican Lead or From Maine Has
Financial scheme.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Oalculations oil
the supporters and opponents OF the
new administration financial bill were
upset today by the interjection of new
factor in the campaign. Mr.. Reed oil
Maine, the Republican leader. brought
forward q new plan, for which he is en-
dsavoring 30 enlist the entire strength
of his party, and which he will offer as
9 substitute for tho administration
scheme, if he thinks his plan can COM
msnd sufficient support to make it q
factor in the fight.
There are but two sections to the Reed
plan in the form in which he has cub
mitted it to his colleagues. The first
proposes to restrict the law of 1875,
which authorizes the secretary Of the
treasury to ieaue bonds to redeem the
greenbac by per cent bonds. The
second section authorizes the secretary
of the treasury when there is deficit to
issue certificates of indebtedness to pay
current expenses, the certificates to be
in sums of $25, $50 and 500, and any
multiples thereof, bearing interest at 3
per cent and payable in coin.
The bill, as Mr.. Reed explained to the
Republicans whose support he sought,
ie but temporary expedient TO tide
over the present distress. The substi~
tuition of coin" for the gold provisions
of the administration is expected to win
for it federation, if not support. OF the
free silver men who bitterly oppose all
propositions TO discriminate by stipuls-
ton in any bill in favor OF gold. Its
comparative simplicity, il ia expected
will commend the bill to the house in
preference to more complex plGns.
Mr.. Reed devoted himself sssiduously
throughout the day to cloak room con-
sultatlons with the Republicans. He
frat endsavored 30 elicit the opinions of
the gold men and then tackled the silver
men. Tas measure of his success is
difficult TO estimate The plan is to
offer the bill as a substitute for the adj
ministration bill and by polling the
solid Republican vote while the Demo-
crate are divided on the administration
bill, make it the most formidable propo-
sition in the field and perhaps induce
the Democratic opponents of the ad =
minissration bill to rally to its support
Chairman Springer and his colleague 8
have counted on most OF the Republican
votes for the administration aud have
prophesied it would poll about the same
support that wac given to the repeal OF
the purchasing clause OF the Sherman
act.
Accordingly Mr.. Reeds move over
turns their calculations to a great ex-
tent
