Divergence of Opinion As to Its
Necessity.
WAS A SURPRISE TO THE HOUSE
Many Believe the Popular Loan Will
Fail-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 adminlstra-
ton.
Senator Teller said he was gratified
that the president had decided upon
popular loan, and he had no doubt
the people would respond in way to
justify the course decided upon.
The call was an entire surprise for
the house. The plan is generally ap-
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 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 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 surprise
to the subordinate officials of the treas
ury department. 1t is probable no one
here but the president and probably
Secretary Olney knew of Carlisle's in
| Tn to
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 ITS SUCCESS.
Up to the time of closing the depart
ment today the treasury officials had
received only a 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 cOnSlIdlueu 10 lldhe tnlS pOpuidi
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 tC
their own material advantage, especial
ly at this time when it is at a premium

HAS BROKEN WITH THE SYNDICATE

Story That the President VIII Wait for
Congress TO Authorize a Bond Call.
New York, Jan. A special to the
World from Washington says it is Civ.
en- out by senator, who has on previ-
Gus occasions represented the admins
tration, that the president has definitely
broken with the Morgan syndicate
Cleveland is, this senator says, intense
ly angry with Morgan, and declares the
syndicate's action in preparing to take
the loan was entirely unauthorized, and
has greatly embarrassed the govern
ment. There will be nc bond call, 1t is
said, until congress has a chance to
act

UNANIMOUS CONSENT LEGISLATION
Work OF the House VIII Not Be Defined
Before Wednesday.


Before Wednesday.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The house this
week will settle down to the routine
work of the session. Until Wednesday,
however, the work will not be we'll de-
fined, as none of the committees have
reported the bills, and the first three
days will therefore be devoted to unan-
imous consent legislation. On We'd
nesday or Thursday the pension appro-
priation bill will be reported and it's
consideration will be entered upon.
AS a rule the deficiency bill is the first
appropriation bill considered, but esti-
mates for the deficiencies will not be
submitted until next week. and as the
pension bill is ready, save for its formal
approval by the full appropriation COM
mittee on Wednesday, it has been de-
cided to dispose of it while the work ON
the other regular appropriation bills is
proceeding.

MAJOR ARMIES WAS ReMANDED AGAIN
Quarrel With General schofield TO Re-
suit in a Trial.

washington, Jan. 6.-The sensational
Armes case, arising out of the arrest of
Major Armes and his confinement by
order of General Schofeld, acting Sec
rotary of war, and just about retiring
from command of the army, had anoth-
er sensational sequel today when the
district court of appeals overruled the
order of Judge Bradley, who released
Armes on a writ of habeas corpus and
ordered that he be remanded to military
custody. Armes doubtless will appeal
to the United States supreme court. In
the opinion of the court of appeals,
Judge Bradleys action was erroneous
and should be reversed.

TERRIBLE MASSACRE AT oRMAH
Two Thousand Christians Said to Have
Been Murdered.

Constantinople, Jan. 4.-The recent mas
sacre at Ormah is stated to have been

A SUGGESTION
That the City Democratic Executive Commit.
tee Reconsider Its Recent
Action.

To John H. Miller, Chairman; Syl DAILY,
julie L. Lockwood, ]. M. McMeaghan,
w. HI. Hill, J. L. SaltZman, W. w.
Tomppert, NJ. M. Williams, Charles G.
Brown and Others of the City Demo-
cratic Executive Committee.
Gentlemen: Judging by the criticisms
of the plan put forth a few days ago by
your committee for the selection of nom
inses for mayor and aldermen, l would
suggest the advisab ility of a special call
of the committee for reconsideration of
said plan.
The people do not understand why 1t
was considered necessary to have a con-
vention for the selection of the nominee
for mayor, and have the aldermen sels ct
ed by primary elections
The people do not understand why a
registration was not provided for by the
committee. They say that there should
be registration now, if we never had
one before, owing to the redistricting of
the city into nine new wards instead of
eight as at present. 1t will tend to pre-
vent repeating
The people say 1t is possible for the
material interests of the citizens to be
made of secondary consideration, that
some clique or gang may secure control
OF the city government, Respectfully,
A. C, LOWREY.
