NOT PUTTING 1T IN WRITING.
HE DOES NOT THINK 1T PROPER TO
FRAME A LETTER ON THE
SUBJECT.
WHAT THE CONVENTION MAY DO.
If 1t Gave Him a omplim entary
Nomination He Could Put Him
self on Record.

. CHICAGO, Jan.15.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: A demand hav-
ing been made informally on President
Cleveland for an authoritative state
ment at this time On The third term
proposition, he has given it out that
the Democracy will be entirely safe in
proceeding upon the theory that he is
not and will not be a candidate. He
has not put this statement in writing,
not deeming it the proper time for an
epiStolary communication on the sub
ject, but the announcement has prac-
tically the force of a letter from the
president, and it is so construed. Those
who speak for the president say that
he sees an improperly in making for
NAL remuneration Of a third term in
writing now, but that he has no hest
tation in letting those entitled to the
information know that he must not be
considered as a third-term candidate.
If the time should ever come requir-
ing a stronger and more explicit state
ment of his position on that point, he
will give it. That is construed to mean
that if the convention should give him
a nomination, he would then go on
record in a patriotic utterance, de-
Ginning the honor Whether the con-
vention will take the hint and tender
him the compliment of a nomination,
just to give him the chance to exploit
his views in a letter of declination, is
somewhat problematical. The feeling
is abroad that he would be grateful for
such an opportunity.

about the basis of the contract of Feb. 8,
and am in a position now to make such
contract for the full amount
I do not hesitate TO affirm, in fact to urge,
that such contract would in every way be
for the best interests of the government and
the people, and would be followed by less
arrangement of the money market, of trade,
in fact of all interests, including foreign ex
changes, all Of which until recently were
in such an increasingly prosperous condition,
and l urge your serious consideration of such
a contract. At the same time recognize the
effect of legislation which has been proposed
and the discussions thereupon in both houses
of congress, all of which might lead you to
hesitate to make a private contract, and con-
sequently, in view of the gravity of the stu
alton l feel bound to say that If, after
conference, in which l can more fully lay the
matter before you, and without expressing
any confidence, in such mode of procedure,
in face of previous failures Of similar at
tempts. but recognizing as l do that the re-
sponsibility OF decision lies with you, l pledge
to you every influence and effort in my power
to assist the government in its endeavor to
make successful a negotiation by public adj
vertisement which shall result in the sale to
the treasury of IL 500. 900 ounces United States
gold coin ($200 900, 000), and further l will
so far as l possibly can, take such steps as
will enable the syndicate which | represent
to join in making the negotiations success
full to its full amount.

WHEN THE TIDE TURNS.
Gold May Then Come to America
Very Rapidly.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-At the half year.
ly meeting today of the Union Bank
of London the new governor of that
institution, F. o. Schuster, said the
prevailing impression that the large
increase III the stock of gold in Lon
don was due to increased production
was only partially true. 1t was from
the United States, he added, chiefly
that the increase was obtained. The
imports from the United States, con-
tinued Mr.. Schuster, were due to the
currency troubles and the want of con-
fidence arising therefrom. But in his
opinion the troubles would not con-
tinue much longer, and when
these difficulties were over
come, as he could not but
hope they would be sooner or later,
the tide might turn the current in the
opposite direction, and it might set in
with great rapidity and force.
In reply to a question on the SUBJ
ject, he said it was true that Mrs.
Langtry had brought an action to re-
cover for the loss of her jewels, which
were entrusted to the care of the bank,
and which were obtained from it by
a forged order; but the bank was re-
sisting her claim. The jewels have
been variously estimated to be worth
from $50 900 to $500. COO

WOULDN'T SEE HIM.
Cleveland Refused to Grant Morgan
an Audience.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The an
nouncement that the bond syndicate
had been dissolved was received here
with some surprise, although among
officials conversant with the changed
situation no other course has seemed
open to Mr.. Morgan and his asso-
ciates. The reason given for the dis
solution is accepted as the true one
since Mr.. Morgan and his. friends are
fully aware of the fact that the sue
cess Of the loan by popular subscription
is no longer a matter of doubt The
only criticism so FAR heard of Mr..
Morgan's public statement is that his
assertion that he was invited to
Washington for conference is mis-
leading, as the natural inference is
that this invitation came from the pres
ident or by his sanction from some
member of the cabinet. This, it is said,
is not the fact When Mr. Morgan
came to Washington the president de-
clined to see him, nor it is added. did
he confer with any member of the cab
met at the presidents suggestion 1t
is stated on high authority. that the
president and Secretary Carlisle have
received such assurances from a large
number of prominent bankers through
out the country that there cannot be a
doubt as to the loan being a success.
Secretary Carlisle this afternoon, in
speaking of the dissolution of the syn
dictate, said he could be quoted as say
ing that the success of the loan was
assured" Further than this he de-
clined to make any statement. The
treasury today lost $390.OO0 principal
ly for export, and received deposits
amounting to $3.50 coo. making the net
loss for the day $4,000.

OPPOSED TO HARRISON.
Congressman johnson, of Indiana,
Not Afraid to Tell 1t.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The Posts
Washington special says: Congress
man Harry N. Johnson, of the Sixth
Indiana district, has caused something
Of a sensation by coming out flat-footed
against Gen. Harrison for the presiden-
tial nomination. He says he has care
fully considered the possible effect of
his declaration upon his own chances
for denomination. and reelection to
congress, and has concluded that he
would rather be defeated for congress
than sacrifice his self-respect by join
ing the Harrison chorus under coercion
He says fatty that Harrison is not his
first choice for president, and that he
will exercise his right to support any
of the other great Republican leaders
for nomination to that high office. Mr.
Johnson's announcement cannot fail to
cause the liveliest kind of a sensa-
ton in Indiana, and it will undoubtedly
be followed by a determined effort on
the part of Harrisons friends to throw
him down."
