She Was Capable,

Mr.. George ". Childs always regarded
the women contributors to The Ledger as
among the most valued assistants, and
one Of his favorite stories was of a woman
who came to him and told him that for
some weeks, because of her husbands i'll
health, she had been writing the special
articles supposed to be furnished by him.
She requested as her husbands illness
threatened to be Of long duration that she
be permitted to continue the work.
"Certainly," said Mr.. Childs. If YOU
have been writing the articles, there is no
reason why you should not continue. but
do not speak of the change to any one"
Not long after the husband died, and
the editor in whose department his work
had been published met his employer with
a gloomy face. "So-and-so is dead" he
said, land who is to fill his place 1 don't
know. His articles were our biggest
trump, and 1 know of no one else with
ability enough to write them"
Don't you think they have fallen off a
little Of late?" asked Mr.. Childs.
"Fallen off! No indeed!' exclaimed the
editor. "They have improved. That is
the worst Of it. We can never fill his
place"
"Oh, yes, We cam" calmly remarked
Mr.. Childs. sin fact, for a year past Mr..
So-and-so has not written q line for The
Ledger. Mrs. So-and-so has supplied his
supposed articles, and she Is still capable
OF doing them" And she did.-Philadel-

BONDS FOR EVERYBODY
New Issue, It Is Said, Will Be
Offered to the Public in
a Day or Two.
Failing in That the President
Will Fall Back on the
Syndicate.
Senators Devote a Day to a
Discussion Of the
Situation.

New YORK, Jan. Ga World spe.
cial from Washington says: Secretary
Carlisle will at once issue a statement
TO the public on the bond question. 1t
will almost undoubtedly announce that
the president will order a public loan.
This information comes from a source
which makes it impossible to question
its truth. The exact terms Of the
statement are still unsettled, but the
chances are 10 to / that the Loan VIII be
offered to the public first. If that call
fails, the government will fall back on
the syndicate.

THE QUESTION OF BONDS,
Senator'S Devote the Day to the Discus
sion of Finances.

49,
sion of Finances.
WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-The senate
heard a stirring debate during the day,
the bond question being the theme.
Mir. Sherman's speech, which had been
anticipated with much interest for
some time, initiated the financial dis
cusSlon. The veteran senator was in
good voice and his speech was closely
followed. This, however. was merely
a prelude to an unexpected financial
controversy, vigorous and personal in
character. Mr.. Elkins of West Vir-
glnla sought to secure an immediate
vote on his resolution directing that all
bond issues be advertised and the
bonds offered to the public. Mr.. Hill
attempted to have the resolution re-
ferred to committee, but on a roll call
the vote was overwhelming in favor of
proceeding with the question.
Only Six Negative Votes
were cast. namely, Chiffon, Gaffery,
Hill, Mitchell (Wis.), Murphy and
Brice. Mr.. Hill spoke vigorously
against the resolution. He asserted
that Mr.. Sherman, when secretary of
the treasury, had made bond contracts
with New York syndicates similar to
the one now assailed. This brought on
a sharp personal debate, in which Mr..
Hill, Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Hoar, Mr..
Teller and others participated.
At $50 the senate agreed to adjourn,
although the motion carried by a bare
majority Of one During the day Mr..
Morrill,, from the finance committee,
reported that the tariff and bond bills
would be ready on Tuesday, to which
day the senate adjourned.

THE PREMIUM ON GOLD.
Treasury Department Officials Afraid 1t
Will Cause u Raid.

CHICAGO, Jan. GA Washington
special to The Post says: Treasury de-
partment officials are somewhat per.
turbed over the new hat gold is COM
handing a premium Of l to IL per
cent in New York, subscribers to the
new bonds being the bidders. The fact
that the gold bid for must be ''outside
go!d'-that is. gold outside the treasury
vaults, affords only momentary relief,
for with the coin selling for any such
tempting premium, as that they fear
it will not be long before some means is
found of drawing on the reserve to
meet the demand. 1t is certainly a
ticklish position, and officials are watch
ing developments with ~undisguised
solicitude. At the first indication of a
raid, or heavy Withdrawals, the presi-
dent will be asked to bring the bond
sale to a quick close.

plaintiff charging that the dispatches
supplied by the defendant regarding the
Chino-Japanese war were largely ex-
banded, was concluded in the high court
of Justice today, the Central News con-
senting to a verdict for the Times for
f5 damages and costs the Times having
withdrawn all charges of fraud in the
complaint upon which the action was
based. In the course of the proceedings
the Central News established the fact,
through the testimony of Mr.. Moberly
Bell, manager of the Times and the
plaintiffs chief witness, that the eX-
panslon of cable dispatches, such as the
Times complained of, was customary
with Reuter-, Dalsiel and other foreign
news agencies. In the course of his tes
timony Bell praised the Reuter- agency,
but when he was shown a specimen of
Reuters expansion of foreign dispatches
he promptly condemned 1t.

Madrid to the Pail Mall Gazette says
that United States Minister Taylor and
a number of the Spanish ministers deny
that President Cleveland has sent a note
to Premier Canovas del Castillo explicit
ly laying down the policy of the Ameri-
can administration in regard to Cuba
Premier CanoYas, the dispatch says, is
i'll, and it is impossible in consequence to
obtain any interview with him, but rela-
tives connected with his household con-
firm the existence of such note. The
dispatch also says that the government
will refuse to accept any proposals based
upon the terms of the alleged note, and
adds:
1.-THE coming cortes will grant to Cuba
every reasonable franchise that may be
enjoyed under the Spanish flag. The
Cuban question might ultimately be sub
mitted to European opinion, but Spain
will never allow it to be directed by
American arbitration"

There was not a dissenting voice to the
proposed pool. The manufacturers pres
