Nothing could have been more unfor-

tho boundary dispute was on the eve Of

adds that II II convinced by careful re-

line, and that II would be a grave error
to imagine that rigid insistenee on the

JONES ON A STRIKE.

washington, Jan. 9.-The senate finance
committee failed to meet today, notwith-
standing the instruction of yesterdays
caucus, because it was discovered that
Senator Jones, OF Nevada, would not act
with the Republicans Of the committee
in reporting the bill without the amend
ment providing for a duty on sugar. He
takes the position that the people of the
Pacific coast are largely interested in
the beet sugar industry. and any tariff
bill passed should provide for the protec-
ton OF this interest. IL he maintains this
position, and the Republican caucus does
not reverse its instructions, it will be
necessary to report the bill adversely. If
at all.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Of Subscriptions Not obtainable.

New York. Jan. 9.-The sentiment pre-
walls in Wall street that more or less
definite understanding exists between ths
administration and powerful barking In
terests. Late in the day rumors were
current that pressure was brought to
bear upon the president and Secretary
Carlisle to have the interval OF time for
subscription abridged.
First. that OF blank application forms
for subscription TO the new bonds was re-
ceived ct the New York sub-treasury
and was quickly exhausted. Requests
for an additional supply OF blanks were
forwai ded 10 Washington. For obvious
reasons, definite information regarding
the extent OF subscriptions is not oL-
tainahle. Almost without exception, how
ever. Wall street men believe that the
inability on the part OF the public TO Sc.
cure gold TO pay for any considerable
proportion OF the $40. .Oo0, 900 issue OF bonds
will compel the treasury TO avail itself
OF the syndlcate's assistance. II is also

Lloyd Montgomery VIII Not Hang on

Albany. Or. Jan. s--Action has been
taken by Lloyd Montgomery's attorneys
which will no doubt prevent his eNecu-
tion on January 81. The time had ex-
pirel in which 10 file bill Of exceptions,
but Prosecuting Attorney Mccain today
signed stipulations extending the time
until January 20 for perfecting an appeal
rhe case will then he appealed TO the
supreme court and Montgomery's attor-

he appeal for new trial can be heard,
The main point upon which the de.
'rnso relies In the appeal Is its claim that
the court erred In admitting in as evi-
donce Montgomery's confession before
the grand jury. No credence is placed
In the conflicting stories OF the murderer
nor his statement that he only killed
McKercher and not his parents.
