II was well understood that another
syndicate had been formed ready to take
this loan as soon as announced, but in
Difference to public sentiment the Presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle decided to offer
the bonds first to the people at large, Civ
ing them a chance to take them in small
sums. The general opinion al banking
and financial circles is that the issue will
not be a success as a popular loan, but
that in the end the bulk of 1t will be taken
by syndicate or some similar association
of capitalists who can command gold.
There is no doubt of the wish and disposi-
tion of the people to take the loan, but the
question is whether they possess or can Sc
cure the gold to buy the bonds. 1t is true
that there is large stock of gold in the
bank vaults and private Golfers of the coun-
try. Some fix this amount at S500,000,-
600, while others declare it to be not less
than $700,000,000. Whether there is
enough in the hands of individual holders
to supply the government with the $780,
100000 in gold which 1t needs is quite
another thing, and the result of the offer TO
the public will be awaited with interest.

The statistics from the Harpoot massa-
ere are appalling--138 towns desolated,
1904 houses burned and IL, 70S Armenians
slaughtered. The utter helplessness of the
victims is seen in the fact that not single
Truk is reported killed. The so-called
Christian powers of Europe are gathering
these statistics, but, sad to say, they do not
seem to be greatly impressed by them.
The Fur Trade Review of New York
prints list of failures of fur importers in
New York during the past season whose
liabilities amount to more than $500, 900.
With this as text it suggests the advisa-
Oility of action looking toward regulation
of credits in the fur trade. Its remarks
against careless and unreasonable liberality
in granting credits would apply to other
lines beside the fur trade.
Gov. Morton's presidential boom has
been brought out under the patronage of
the Platt machine. On the surface the
New York Republicans appear to be unit
for him, but the threat is made privately
that if he continues to play into Platts
hands there will be open revolt. The anti
Platt men say that the governor is being
hoodwinked and that Platt has no serious
intention of nominating him, but when the
time comes will throw him overheard and
give the New York delegation to some can
didate with whom he can make terms.
Mrs. Cleveland, assisted by Miss Nor
ton, the sister of the secretary of agricul-
ture, has undertaken the task of promot-
ing Sabbath observance among the official
circles and fashionable society set of Wash
ington. The practice of using Sunday
afternoon and evening for social entertain
ment has been growing for some time, un-
til now almost all the members of the diplo-
matte corps have selected that day to hold
their receptions and dinner parties. The
plan proposed by Mrs. Cleveland aud Miss
Morton is to persuade society leaders TO
give up Sunday entertaining, and thus set
an example for those who follow their
fashions.
