Senator W. f. Chandler Of New Hamp-

vention of that State as the pronounced
friend OF Thomas 3. Reed, and who met
Senator Proctor there as the friend OF
jur Mckinley, has come back to Wash
inGton for the winter. In regard to prospects
he says: iHl.
II do not think we can do much at
this coming session, but l do think We
can give the Secretary of the Treasury
authority To borrow money necessary to
run the government until the revenues are
sufficient. .. t.r a.
II believe we can authorize a short
. time loan, limited to hundred or a
hundred and fifty millions. / am not in
favor of the retirement OF the greenbacks
at this time. At present the banks need
them in their reserves. II they did not
have them they would have to hold their
reserves III gold.
THE thing TO do now is to provide
means for getting money until we can put
revenue legi station into effect. There
will have to he an extra session of the
Fifty-fifth Congress. in my Judgment, and
we shall then enact both revenue and
financial legislation

The foregoing letter does not refer specifi.
caily 10 the matters which Were published
In The Times A reporter for The Times
therefore, called yesterday at the Govern
ment Printing Office with a view OF a seer
tainlug in what respects the article ir
The Times was erroneous.
Mr.. Espey said that he had nothing
further TO say than what was given in til,
above letter, of which he was handed the
original. He did not admit that there
was any trouble" He, however, said tina,
the arbitration committee had called on him
Friday la st, when there was an ''amicable
adjustment of certain matters growing
out of the work on the machines, as
stated in The Times.
Mr.. Espey declined point blank to say
what the matter under ad ju stnlent was bu,
that IL had been settled" on Friday la st
He said that there was evidently som,
spite work or politics in it. as the state
IEent was made by the infornIants of Tn,
Times that he, Mr.. Espey, was '.tryinr
To make q record" He maintained that
he had already made a record.
Mr. w. Is. hyde, tle president OF the
Bookbinders' Brotherhood and chairman OF
the arbitration, committee, was also seen.
He was told THAT Mr.. Espey had admitted
tliat the arbitration committee had been
before him on Friday and that the INA tier
was settled" Mr.. Hyde said that such was
the TACT. Nothing, however. could induce
Mr.. Hyde 10 say what was the matter
which had caused a call on Mr.. Espey by The
committee, except that IL was the adjust
ment of work and prices since the intro
ductIon of the machines. Mr.. Hyde was
also very certain that the whole interview
was very pleasant
1t was stated yesterday at the building
that the agreement between the arbitration
committee and Mr.. Espey was yet to be
reported to the Bookbinders' Union for
adoption or rejection and that the matter
was still pending. The men were very
chary about giving any information owing
no doubt, to the publication OF a letter in
one of the morning papers. That publica.
ton, however, said one of them. says
nothing except that there have been con
Ierenccs beiw cen the arbitration com
mittee and Mr.. Espcy.
1t was desirable to know from Mr.. Hyde
what was the proportionate increase of
work under the hand and the machine sys-
ten, but as stated they would not take the
pubic into their confidence, so that people
could know what that mysterious con-
ference really was about.
