PREMIUM ON GOLD No LONGER EMS rs
Bond Syndicate and Its Followers Stop
Proceedings for a While.


New York, Jan. 6.-In it's last edition
today the Evening Post says
This afternoon the bullion brokers re-
sumed the payment of the premium for
gold, paying five-eighths of l per cent.
This, they said, was mainly an arbi-
trary transaction to settle contracts
made last week. Some gold ordered last
week in London could be stopped. They
said they thought it likely that no pre-
MUM will be paid for gold after today.
New York, Jan. 6.-The Evening Post
says:
The call for the government loan
caused the premium on gold to disap-
pear this morning, and 1t was said that

Divergence of Opinion As to Its
Necessity.
WAS ASURPRISE TO THE HOUSE
Many Believe the Popular Loan Will
Fai1-premium on Gold
Has Ceased.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The senator's
did not seem disposed to talk about the
bond call issued by Secretary Carlisle.
The democratic senators generally were
non-committal. Senators Harris and
Vest, both members of the finance COM
mittee, said they had not read the call
and had nothing to say.
Senator German said that the call was
all right, and was the same as the first
two bond issues by this administra-
ton.
Senator Teller said he was gratified
that the president had decided upon
a popular loan, and he had no doubt
the people would respond in a way to
justify the course decided upon.
The call was an entire surprise for
the house. The plan is generally APP
proved by members of both parties,
who believe there is a necessity for
bonds and those who are opposed to
bond issues altogether think the call
for bids is much better than an arrange
ment with a New York syndicate, which
was generally expected.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts, chair
man Of the banking and currency COM
mittee, said:
when the president has a chance to
issue 10-year bonds and issues 30-year
bonds he does an act that will be uni
versally condemned in the near future,
if not today"
The announcement last night that the
secretary had asked for bids for the
bond issue of 500, 900, 900 was a surprise
to the subordinate officials of the treas
ury department. 1t is prObab bic no one
here but the president and probably
Secretary Olney knew Of Carlisle's in
tentiOn. Indeed, it is believed the con-
clusiOn was not reached until late yes
terday afternoon.
The new bonds will not differ in any
respect from those issued to the syndi-
cate, and will be printed from the old
plates.
Persons we'll qualified to judge of the
result of the issue do not look for large
subscriptions from private individuals,
and the opinion is expressed that the
syndicate's bid for the entire issue will
be accepted.
DUBIOUS OF IT'S SUCCESS.
Up to the time Of closing the depart
ment today the treasury officials had
received only few kilograms concern
ing the new loan, and these were not
of a character to indicate how the an
nouncement was received throughout
the country. Although the president
was constrained to make this a popular
loan as far as possible by soliciting in
dividual subscriptions, it is understood
that neither he nor Carlisle place any
reliance in it's success, except through
the aid of the syndicate, not because of
any lack of confidence, but for the rea-
son that the gold Of the country is very
largely in the hands of bankers who
are unwilling to part with it except to
their own material advantage, especial
Iy at this time when it is a premium.

charming place. The drawing room, in

Edison is ever known to indulge in, and
that only upon rare occasions. Mrs.

Grant gave a brilliant reception in Washing

On his return to Providence he was given a
reception, to which was invited, but which
did not attend. He was believed to have

he spent small fortune In the effort to se-
cure second election. But he was defeat

There is a little schoolhouse just over the
Bristol line. Placide had once taken a great
interest in the school here, and the chill
dren had loved him. Here the horse stop

great nests of ospreys. The white sails

moved on in silence. Suddenly the horse
