fixing upon line of conduct. This
they have substantially accomplished,
only few men whose position might
be doubtful remaining yet TO be con-
suited. The plan supported by the
leaders is to drop all collateral ques-
tions and appeal directly 10 the simple
provision for the relief Of the Treasury
by the issue OF bonds.
Mr. Reed expects to otfer as suosti-
tute for the whole bill OF the committee
d bill of few lines, giving the Secre-
tary of the Treasury authority TO issue
low-lnterest bonds. This provision, II
is believed. will have the support OF
nearly all of the Republicans. II any
thing at all cau be passed, it has the
best chance OF being adopted.
The position taken by the Repnbli-
cans is not that of opposing other leg
islation for the Improvement OF the
financial system. They bold, however,
that nothing except simple and unen-
cum oered proposition eau be adopted,
and that they should devote themselves
to that which there seems some
prospect of plishing, and
which would give Immediate relief.
Other legislation which may be
deemed desirable may be taken up by
the next Congress, but to attempt 1t
now would simply render IL impossible
TO do anything at all.
IL is probable that considerable
number OF Democrats will vote for mr.
Reeds substitute, and it's advocates be-
Iieve that il can be put through the
House on Thursday, and that 1t Is possl-
BILE to secure it's passage by the Senate.
The proposition is for low interest coin
bonds, the term gold" not being used.
At first it was suggested that 1t should
be gold bonds, but discussion OF the
question led TO the conclusion that this
would be unnecessary, and would inJure
the value of bonds now outstanding oV
implying that they were payable in
something other than gold, whereas the
settled policy of the government makes
all coin bonds payable in gold.
SAYS IT Is ALL ARRANGED.
New YORK, February 4.-On reliable
authority the Press is able TO an
nounce that the new bond issue
will be- taken up by syndi-
cate composed Of American and foreign
bankers. The issue will be al least
SlOO, 600, 900 Of the United States gov
ernment fours and may be more. The
delay is understood TO be due to the
exact figures at which they will be sold.
