Inc Secretary of the Treasury has sent a

assistant treasTers of the United States
IN regard to the receipt of gold in payment
OF the new bonds, in which he says:
AS soon as practicable the department
Will furnish you list of the accented bid
ders for the per cent bonds of 1925. You
VIII receive payment for the bonds in
United States gold coin or gold certificat ties.
by installments or in full, as heretofore
provided. Each payment Of an. INSTALL
ment should include the principal, premium
at the price named in the bid and accrued
interest from February1, 1885, to date of
such payment, so that the proportionate
amount OF the bonds representing the in
staimsht Will be paid for in full. You will
Issue for each payment your certificate of
deposit, in duplicate, in the name of the
depositor. ~
You will deliver the full set to the de-
pUsltor' with instructions to retain the du-
plicate and to forward the original to the
secretary of the Treasury, accompanied by
letter from the depositor. giving complete
Information as to the kind and Cenomirla-
their delivery.
The bonds will be issued only upon re-
ceipt by the Secretary of the original GER
tincate OF deposit. Any depositor may as
sign the original certificate issued in his
name IN which case the bonds will be is
SUED upon the order of the assigned The
department will begin the delivery of both
registered and coupon bonds as soon as GER
tihcates of deposit therefor are received by
the secretary, as above indicatec'
;. Inc treasury has already in hand for de-
livery $4o,OO,000 registered bonds and
sZ2'oo,ooo coupon bonds. Bonds of the lat
ter character, principally of $1,000 denomi-
nations, are being printed and delivered at
the treasury at the rate of 81. OO0, 600 a day.
me treasurer lost 81, O73 500 in gold coin
ana 10000 in bars yesterday, leaving the
true amount of the reserve s45,29S, 10. Not
Wlthstanding the success of the new loan.
Iears are entertained that a considera Bile
snare Oh the gold offered in payment will
nave been Withdrawn from the treasury for
t .tat purpose. In anticipation of the loan,
.lie soio Withdrawn from the treasury dur
ing the month from January 6 to date
amounted to about $S,500000. The magni-
tuoe OF the subscriptions to the loan, which
amounted to over $55S O0O,OO0, calls atten-
tion 10 the fact that the total amount of
solo com and gold certificates in circula-
.lon IN the United States is less than
S9oo.ooo,oo, and the natural inference is
tnat great number of bidders must have
depended upon getting their supply from
the treasury or outside sources. What will
DC the result upon the reserve is matter
OF grave concern, and; while it is expected
that 1t will be augmented by at least SILL
ooo,ooo as result of the present sale, it is
not SO apparent that on the date the last
instrument becomes due the reserve will
not nave been reduced q to point not
greatly in excess of the $10O,0OO,OO re-
qurement.

ASSETS IN LITIGATION.
Hearing I'm the Controversy Ov,
Washington EndOMm AsnOcfnt 10

Hearing In the Controversy Over
Washington Endowment AssOcfat ion.
The hearing in the controversy over the
assets Of the Washington Beneficial En-
dcwme1t Association is still on before Chief
Justice Bingham in Equity Court No. /.
and it appeared today that it would con-
tinuc several days longer.
AS explained in The Star several DAYS
ago, Judge Bingham is DESTROYS of first de-
termining to whom the assets belong. They
accrued from the sale of the assoc ton
building, 40 10th street. The receiver of
the now defunct Commercial Life lnsur-
ance Company of New York claims them,
while the receiver of The local concern, its
judgment creditors. beneliciaries policy
holders and other alleged creditors insist
that the New York company was never
able, financially, to assume the liabilities of
the Washington association and continue
its business Hence, they contend that the
transfer from the local to the New York
concern was obtained through fraud, and
that it should, therefore, be set aside and
the assets divided among the creditors of
the home asSCcia ton.
Receiver A. A. Lipscon1b of the Washing
ton association he's submitted a great mass
Of testimony, which shows, he contends.
that the New York company never pos
SeSSed any real reserve fund, or, indeed.
airy available capital. OF course counsel
for the receiver of the New York company
deny that. Should Chief Justice Bingham
hold that the assets do not belong to this
company, the next question to be decided
would be- it is said, How shall they be
divided? From remark made by the court
during the present hearing it is believed
that he would decide the judgment creditors
of the Washington association to be EN-
titled to first show in the distribution Of
the assets. 1t is also believed that policy
holders will be the last to share in the dis
tribution. If that should be the case. it is
said that they would receive practically
nothing, as it is believed that the assets
would be wholly exhausted in the settle
ment of the claims of other creditors
