Austria and Tariff

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The new

though the formal note in which ne

the neigh borhood of SIS, 100000 ana
as the bond issue was made when II

the last issue was made, there Is a
very nervous feeling coursing up anu
down the backbone of the treasury

two reasons: The first is caused oy

no one knows but what this remark

The second is caused by the Ill
temper of tho bankers who openly de-
clared that when the next per cen
bonds were issued, as they are tn
only kind that can be issued, con
gress refusing to change the resump
ton law so as to make the interes

A Great Day for Them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Saturday
was what is called here obituary day
in both houses. In the senate the
members were saying kind and pleas
ant things about the late Senator
Vance. and in the house the members
were saying nice things about the
late Representative Lisle. The sena-
tors have some respect for this kind
of services, and Saturday many OF
them listened to the speeches. among
them being real gem from Senator
Ransom of the Tar Heel state. In
the house, however, these occa-
sions are hailed with pleasure as they
afford opportunity for members to
absent themselves without running
any risk of roll call showing their
absence. Breckenridge made speech
which every body said was as fine as
could be uttered. These funera
speeches give great scope to the ora
