on Harrison street and found Morey in

at first looked surprised, but he was ut

He led the searcllers to a big pantry

In the pantry was occupied by the

The officers placed Morey under ar.

ladies of various sizes, and files. The
money was next counted and $24 in

1888; Of the silver dollars, 1880, 1880,

coins. and, in their opinion. they are
the best counterfeits that have been

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE

All ARRANGEMENTS Are Said to Have
Been Completed.
Washington, Jan. 1.-There is now
no reasonable doubt that another bond
Issue has been fully agreed upon. and
that the details of contract with a
syndicate, of which J. p. Morgan is
the head, have been arranged. no that
nothing remains to be done to carry it
into effect but for the secretary of the
treasury to sign his name thereto.
Thus the president is prepared for
any emergencies. and there is no doubt
that should heavy withdra walls Of gold

would be announced. The fact that
there have been no Withdrawals for
export within the last several days. al
though sterling exchange las ruled ut.

credence to an opinion held in treasury
circles that the market has already
begun to feel the syndicate influence
against exports. The amount of the
next issue, 1t is almost certain. has
been fixed at $1OO,OOO,OOO.
