THE NEW BOND ISSUE.
All Bids Below 11O.6S77 Rejected by
the Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Late this
afternoon Assistant Secretary Curtis
announced that he was able to state
that from a complete analysis of the
bids for bonds that they showed that
bids aggregating S66, 7SS650 above
110.6S77 had been received, and the
7S0 persons making these bids would be
awarded bonds. The Morgan syndi-
cate bid of 110.6S77 for $100,000000
bonds or any part thereof would be
accepted for $33, ,211, $50. All bids be-
low the figure, 1106S77, are therefore
rejected.
The gold reserve at the close Of busi-
ness to-day stood at $44, ,4S3, 1856. The
Withdrawals for the day at New York
amounted to S730000.
DENIAL FROM ECKELS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE follow
ing statement was to-day telegraphed
by Comptroller Eckels to the New
York world:
I'm dispatch from Washington
printed in the World apears the fol-
lowing as coming from me: Both Mr.
Stewart and Mr.. Morgan added their
decimals in different ink in the bids
they had originally put on their blanks
No statement of this kind was made
to the Worlds correspondent or to
anybody else by me, and there is no
foundation in fact for it. 1t is wholly
and unqualifiedly false.
THE only thing said upon the sub
ject of price which appeared in the
bids of Messrs. Stewart and Morgan
was that the Morgan syndicate was
one bid only, while that of the Stew
art syndicate numbered over 100, and
that it was evident that the body Of all
these bids of the Stewart syndicate
had been filed in by their subscribers.
while the uniform price Of 11075 had
been inserted by the manager of the
Stewart syndicate. In this connection
it may be said that each figure upon
both the Morgan and Stewart bids is
in the same colored ink as each other
figure, and every statement to the con-
trary which has been sent ont is abso-
lutely false. JAMES H. ECKELS."

No Change in the sftuation-State
Troops Not Called Out.

FRANKFORT (Ky) Feb. THE
Senatorial situation presents no sensa-
tional features, and there is less indica-
ton of trouble than there has been.
The crowds of prospective deputies
around the doors are smaller and more
orderly The State authorities are not
telling their plans, and no authoritative
statment can be had as to the exact line
that will be adopted to suppress the pro-
posed deputies, should they be sworn
in by the Democrats of the Senate.
Governor Bradley positively denies
the stories in the morning papers to the
effect that it had been decided to call
out the State troops to suppress any
possible conflict in legislative circles.
The Governor did not deny that the
proposition was discussed in the Re-
publican caucus last night, but he said
that he had not even looked up the law
on the subject. The talk was that per-
sons attending the joint assembly to-
day might have to march through
line of bayonets before getting into the
Assembly 1oobies, and the result was a
bigger general attendance than ever
For the first time in several days many
ladies were present.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Vene-
zuelan Commission turned the first
month of its existence at its regular
weekly meeting to-day, all the mem
bers being in attendance at the opening
except Frederick r. Coudert of New
York, who came in late. The delay in
receiving the documents in the Vene-
zuelan case has caused the commission
some annoyance, but as an average of
twenty-five days must eIapse for a re-
ply to a communication to Venezuela,
and the commissions formal request
to Great Britain and Venezuela was not
dispatched until January 18th, the an
swer of the latter Government cannot
be expected for another week.
Minister Andrade this morning re-
ceived official mail from Caracas, dated
as late as January Both, inclosing a de-
cree of January 10th, constituting a
commission to prepare the evidence for
transmission. He thinks the documents
may come by the next steamer, or at
any rate he will be authorized to pre-
sent all the papers in his possession.
Up to this time nothing has been
heard from Great Britain, but the mem
bers of the commission incline to the
opinion that the report to Parliament
will contain an exhaustive argument in
such shape as to be readily considered.
Justin Winsor, the Librarian of Har-
ward College, who had been requested
by the commission to come to Washing
ton as an expert, appeared before that
body and gave much valuable informa-
ton on geographical subjects. He has
been a deep student in cartography, and
for several hours the Commissioners
cross examined him, with excellent re-
suits
Marcus Baker, the principal United
States Government map expert, was
also present at to-day's session, and
will follow up the commissions ideas
as to map-making in the geological sur
Vey which, by permission of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, has been selected
for that purpose. The great map upon
which the commission will eventually
draw "the true divisional between the
Republic Of Guiana" is now in course of
preparation, and will be an elaborate
affair. 1t will show only natural feat
ures, and will be of composite nature,
its accuracy being verified by reducing
various authentic maps to the same

to take part in most of the proceedings.
He returned home tonight, but the

WILLIAM H. ENGLISH.
The Indiana Capitalist and Politician
Passes Away.
Was the Democratic Nominee for Vice.
President of the United States on
the Ticket With Hancock.

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd.), Feb. 7.-Hon.
William H. English, capitalist. politi-
clan and literateur, died in his rooms
at English's Hotel at 1876 o'clock this
afternoon, after an illness of six weeks.
He was unconscious for an hour before
his death Around the bed were his
son, Will e. English; his daughter, Mrs.
Rose Walling of Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall, Miss Hedges, Mr. English's s
stenographer, and DR.. Franklin w.
Hays, who attended him.
Mr.. English had been i'll for about
six weeks. He was at first attacked by
grippe. This was followed by infiam-
nation of the air passages and the
membranes of the throat. OF this he
almost recovered, but two weeks ago
he was seized with inflammatory rheu-
matism, which, with organic disease of
the heart of several years standing,
completely exhausted him. His con
dition had been very bad for the past
twenty-four hours, and it was said as
early as Thursday that his demise was
but few hours distant.
He leaves an estate variously esti-
msted at from S5.000,0 600 to $4,000, 600.
The funeral will be held at 2 pm. Sun
day. Interment will be in Crown Hill
Cemetery in this city.
William Hayden English was a ma
tive of Indiana. He was born at Lex
ington. Scott County, August 27, 1922.
He was educated in the common schools
and at Hanover College, studied law
and entered upon the active duties of
life young. When he was only IS years
old he was one of two delegates from his
county to the Democratic State Con-
vention at Indianapolis. The other del
gate was his father.
For over half a century he was active
ly identified with about all the Demo-
cratic State Conventions held in In
diana. He was licensed to practice law
before he was u years Of age. He was
four times elected to the Congress of
the United States, serving during the
eight years of intense excitement i'm
mediately preceding the great civil war,
and was the author of a compromise
measure in relation to the admission
of Kansas as a State, which became a
law and was a prolific theme of con-
troversy in the heated political contests
of that day under the name Of the
English bill"
He was ever a friend of the union of
the States, and was always a Democrat
in politics. In 1861 he declined a re-
election to Congress, and since that time
engaged in banking, street railroad and
various other enterprises.
In 1880 Mr.. English was unanimously
nominated for Vice-President of the
United States on the ticket with Han
cock. Although the ticket was de-
feated, it received a greater number of
votes in Indiana than the State ticket
of the Democratic party received at the
election held only a few weeks before.
During the last ten years Of his life
Mr. English was engaged in the work
Of preparing and collecting material to
perpetuate the early history of his ma
tive State. This work he only par

oGALALLA SIOUX INDIANS.
Dissatisfied Because Their Annulties
Are Not Given in Cash.

LINCOLN CNeb.), Feb. 7-Reliable
reports from Northern Nebraska and
South Dakota tell of feeling of unrest
among the Ogalalla Sioux Indians.
There is no fear of any hostile demon
stration, but in order to give vent to
their feelings a council will be held at
Wounded Knee on the 10th of the pres
ent month, and a delegation selected to
visit Washington and confer with the
President.
The principal complaint is that they
dc not get their annuities in cash, as
they claim was promised them. The
system of issuing blankets, clothing,
ETC., is very unsatisfactory, as they are
given out regardless of the needs, size
or fit 1t is thought that old Red Cloud
viii head the delegation, as he has
expressed a desire to shake hands with
the Great Father again, and then re-
turn to the agency and die.

No sure Thing That the Big Fight VIII

Ell PASO (Tex.), Feb. 7.-Maher and
party came down from Las Cruces on
the afternoon train, and say they will
return in the morning. 1t is not
thought their visit is Of any special
significance. 1t is believed the reason
the fight did not come off before noon
to-day was because Maher refused to
fight until the 18th. Owing to Maher
refusing to fight when asked to do so,
there will likely be a hitch about get
ting his forfeit should the management
not be able to pull off the fight ON the

Had Maher gone into a fight to-day
it would have been to his disadvantage.
as he had not the training here that
Fitzsimmons has. The morning was
quite stormy, snow falling heavier than
it has before during the winter.
Governor Thornton of New Mexico
arrived this evening, and states he has
been in correspondence with Delegate
Catron and the Attorney General, and
that he is satisfied the Catron bill was
presented to cover the necessities as
outlined by him There is no danger
whatever of the fight coming off in
New Mexico now, as neither Maher nor
Fitzsimmons will take any chances.
Fitzsimmons is in fine form, and it
looks as though only an accident would
lose him the fight if it should take place
between now and the 14th
There is no doubt the way matters
stand tonight that Dan Stuart and
those in his confidence believe they will
get a concession from the Mexican Off
cials, but they are having much harder
roads to travel than they anticipated
Should they succeed in securing the
concession, it will probably cost them
about all they can make out of the
carnival, for if there is any intention
upon the part of the officials to grant
the concession, they are likely holding
off for more. money.

With such a revolution in business
suddenly affected, the customary rec
ords of the past week and month are OF
less value than usual But there have
been signs of improvement in the iron
manufacture. Although the average OF
prices is nearly 1 per cent. lower this

Sales of wool have been 100000
pounds, against $3.50 last year,
and with reported reduction in clay
worsteds and mixtures, the orders for
other woolen goods being still unusu-
ally delayed.
The cotton mills continue generally
active. Though talk of decreasing the
production still continues, print cloths
do not rise above 234 cents, and some
goods tend lower. Speculation in wheat
has again lifted prices. The speculative
market has been largely influenced by
rumors of injury to the coming crop and
by foreign advances. Corn has been
comparatively quiet. Cotton has been
practically unchanged, receipts contin-
uing to accord with yield of about T.
100000 bales for 1895.
The stock market has been growing
stronger all the week, until the sale OF
bonds, though yielding little on real
izing.
Railroad earnings in January have
been 10.6 larger than last year, but S.S
less than in 1893, and the tonnage East
bound from Chicago was, in January,
nearly 1 per cent. larger than in 1893.

They Come Near Causing a Serious
Riot at Madrid.
MADRID, Feb. This city was the
scene to-day of a demonstration that
would have required but very little to
have turned it into a serious riot. AS
told in these dispatches on Tuesday last
a number of men hooted General Cam
pos as he was driving to his residence
from the railway station on his return
from Cuba. A number of the hooters
were arrested, and one of them broke
away from the gendarmes who had him
in custody and sought to make his es-
cape The gendarmes fired twice at
him and killed him. The shooting caused
great excitement and the Government
was bitterly condemned by Republi-
cans
This afternoon the funeral of the
victim took place, and was attended by
an enormous crowd. Fully $1,000 men,
most of whom were Republicans,
marched to the cemetery shouting
''Down with the policeR' Down with
Campos!" and Long live the repub-
Hcl'
The Government anticipated trouble,
and there was a strong display of gen
daFmes, who, however, appeared to be
afraid to interfere in any way with
the procession, and consequently the
crowd shouted itself hoarse. When the
cemetery was reached the assemblage
stood with barred heads until the fu-
neral rites had been completed. The
greater portion of the crowd then dis
persed, but 1000 again formed in line
and marched unmolested back to the
royal palace, in front of which they
gathered and shouted Death to the
Kingi" Death to the Queen Regent
and Long live the republic .
Even the guards who are always on
duty about the palace seemed to be in
Inundated by the sullen temper of the
mob, and made not the slightest at
tempt to drive them away.
After partly venting their anger
against the youthful King and his
mother, the crowd marched to the resi-
dence of General Campos. where a sim
liar demonstration of disapproval was
made.
The apathy Of the police, which was
unquestionably due to fear, was signifi-
cant. So far as known the civil author
tiles made no request of the military
for aid in dispensing the crowd, the
members of which did as they pleased
until nightfall. However, they COM
mitted no overt act.
After darkness had set in it was pro-
posed to gather under the windows Of
the hotel at which were stopping a
number of Republican delegates, who
had come to Madrid especially to at
tend the funeral of the victim Of the
gendarmes, and serenade them. The
police had in the meantime mustered
their courage and told the leaders the
serenade would not be allowed. The
crowd, after insisting upon carrying
out their plan, finally listened to their
leaders and dispersed.
