ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-At an open meeting
OF st. Louis Council, No. 6, Legion of
Honor, tonight, Hon. John w. Noble, Pres
ident Harrison's Secretary of the Interior,
delivered an eloquent address on the Mon
roe doctrine. After briefly outlining the
principles involved in the message of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the fault found by
Lord Salisbury and others with Mr.. Cleve-
lands application of the doctrine, General
Noble intimated that the Nicaraguan canal
question was deeply involved in the Ven
ezuelan matter. The settlement of one,
he said, would settle the other, and
England would have 10 keep her hands off,
Inc speaker paid a tribute TO the members

american government, established by its
conduct and history for more than one hun

reiauon with foreign nations for fairness
and justice and peaceable disposition in its
connection. General Noble drew a scathing
contrasting picture of the aggressive and
oppressive career of England.
continuing, General Noble said: "It will
not come 10 a matter of war, but even war
Is not always TO be avoided if peaceable
measures fail. No nation can expect to
prosper that does not respect itself and is
not respected by others. A true Amer

to-day the treasury officials had received
only few kilograms concerning the new
loan, and these were not of a character to
indicate how the announcement had been re-
ceived throughout the country. Although
the President was constrained TO make this
a popular loan, so far as possible, by solicit
ing individual subscriptions ii is understood
that neither he nor Mr. Carlisle place any
reliance in its success except through the
aid OF the syndicate, not because of any
lack OF confidence but for the reason that
the gold of the country is very largely in
the hands OF the bankers, who are unwilling
to part with it except to their own material
advantage, especially at this time, when 1t
is at a premium.
The treasury to-day lost $685. 900 in gold
coin and bullion, leaving the true amount

pledged themselves to take over sl5.OOOoOO

specifying the amounts to be taken. In ad-

Willingness and, indeed, eagerness TO sub

be doubted that these banks represent at
least another Sl5, COO, 600. All these answers
are to an inquiry as to whether the banks

There will be no trouble to float fair pro-

nent early this morning that the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury had asked for bids
for bond issue Of $lOo,0oO.OoO was some
thing of a surprise to the subordinate Off
cials of the Treasury Department. as no
intimation Of his purpose had been given
to any one. 1t is quite probable that no
one here outside OF the President and prob
ably Secretary Olney knew OF Secretary
Carlisle's intention. Indeed. 1t is believed
the conclusion was not reached until late
yesterday afternoon. The new bonds will
not differ in any respect from those is
sued to the syndicate and such as are needed
after the supply now on hand has been ex-
