1t VIII be Taken Up by American and
Foreign Capitalists.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Press to-
morrow viii say: On reliable authority
the Press is able to announce that the
new bond issue will be taken up by a
syndicate composed Of American and
foreign bankers. The issue will be at
least 100000, 900 of gold fours and may
be more. The delay is understood to be
due to the exact figures at which they
will be sold.
The men who will underwrite the new
issue, according to the best information
OF " all street, are the ROthschilds, repre-
sented here by August Belmont,J. Pierre
pOnt Morgans and several prominent
local tinanciers, who are heads of big
mOneyed institutions i'll this city.
Several important facts have contrib
uted IN bringing the local huanCiers into
the deal. In the first place, neither the
MOrgans nor Belmont have much gold
here, and hence would have to draw on
the banks, 50 that the latter would have
to tlgure in the transaction in that way.
In the next place, the Rothschilds, so it
IS said, are just as anxious to have the
local moneyed men in the deal as the lat
ter are anxious TO be i'll themselves.
Assistant Treasurer Jordan. in discuss
Ing the situation, had this to say: Il do
not expect Mr.. Curtis will find it neces-
sary TO come to New York again. Judg-
ing from the inquiries we have received,
I think there will be plenty OF demand
for the bonds when once they are ready
to be issued. The general conviction is
that the loan will be announced in very
short time"
The Press also learns from trustworthy
sources that there will be an opportunity

the local tinauciers will take about $5O,-

more who attend the school yearly, very
few are women, and the children who are
taught to cook and clean, set table and
make bed, are generally the children of
parents who are so educating them for
service In their own households.
As matter of fact, they would sooner
see their children suffer than serve in a

for positions in life, teachers, SeamStreSSeS,

said one old lady "a we'll equipped train
ing school must be established; the ser
wants must be given diplomas, when they
graduate, and they must receive the con-
sideration that knowledge always COM
mands. A scientific cook should know
as much chemistry as is required OF a
trained nurse; she is even more important
in household for she is often able to
keep her patrons so healthy as to obviate
the necessity for the services of nurse;
and trained nurses, to-day, are making
for themselves social position and are
Undoubtedly earning good livings.

servant is educated, when her occupation
is elevated into a profession, should she
not hold position equally honorable and
important as the trained assistant to
the family physician"

1t is an open secret IN Washington that
the recent appointment of the President,
that of selecting the former Attorney Gen
eral TO fill the vacant place of Secretary
OF State. was sore disappointment to the
present ambaSsadortoth the CourtoISt James.
Mr.. Bayard's friends in the city generally
thought that he would be selected for that
place, especially when it is understood
that for some time past the glories of the
British court have pailed upon his taste
that he has in fact yearned TO return TO
America upon the first tangible preteXt
that would seem to warrant such an i'm
portant step as resigning the position of
ambassador.
Moreover. what is undoubtedly the most
important factor in the case, Mrs Bayard
does not like the life abroad and yearns
with a great big yearn to return 10 this
country in general and to Washington in
particular.
Such being the facts of the case, and
these facts being known to the President,
it was anticipated that his first choice
of person TO fill the portfolio of Secretary
of State would fall upon the American
ambassador to England. In other words,
that it would be another case Of history
repeating itself in the former Senator
from Delaware occupying the position
Of Secretary Of State in the Cleveland
administration. The President, how
ever, willed it otherwise, and MIR. Olney
instead OF Mr. Bayard, has been sworn into
office as the first Presidential possibility
after the Vice President.
