BANK PARLoR CONFERENCES,
New York Bankers Trying to Arrange fol
an Average Bid for Bonds.

( New York, February 3. There were a
number of informal conferences in the
bank parlors down town today in regard
to the new government bond loan. The
chief point at issue was the prices to be
bid for bonds. Local bankers are en-
deavoring to arrange for an average rate
to be rendered by New York city capi-
talists. 1t was said that those who were
the most enthusiastic for popular loan
little while ago, have materially lower
ed the prices they were to gay for the Is.
sue. According to good authorities, the
bids put in by these parties will run
from 1861 to 100. It will be remem bered
that the syndicate bid was 1O4A net, with
guarantee that the gold to be turned
i'll would not be taken from the sub
treasury. Bullion dealers report brisk
business in gold today at three-eigths
premium for buying fve-eigths for SELL
ing. At the sub-tressury there was quite
a rush for subscription blanks and the
demand was larger than at any time
since the forms were received from Wash
ing ton.

New York, February "a special t

Is little else than gigantic political or
ga1ization, which is just now bending
all it's energies toward securing the

The association was started in Atlanta,
the central idea of its orginators being to
secure by concert Of action representa-
tives of American wares at a series of
expositions beginning with the one just
held here and including these in M on
treal, Mexico and the Argentine Repub-
lilo.
1t soon developed, however, that high
protective tariff was the corner stone of
the desires of the members, and this was
particularly apparent in Chicago. One of
the Georgia delegates said that if it had
been Republican National convention
it could not have tried harder to make
Republican political capital. Those peo-
pie figure that the coming national cam

financial question being neutralized by

and will have great effect upon the St.

NOW ITS MINNESOTA
About Which We May Now Have Boun
Diary Argument.

New York, February 3.-A ST. Pau
despatch says: "The northern boundary
of Minnesota from present Indications,
seems certain to assume an important if
not grave international oharao ter. Few
people are aware of the exte mt to which
Minnesota has been the loser in territory
by reason Of the erroneous loca tion of tine
boundary line by the English commits
sion of 1S42. The land in those days was
thought to possess little value, but today
it is found to be rich in timber and in
minerals. The state is said to be the
loser of no less than 1000 square miles of
land by those appointed TO locate the line
definitely. Hunters island, covering an
area of 800 square miles, is the principal
tract in dispute. Minnesota it is report
ed, will now take steps to protect her
rights in the matter.''

AeovERNoR GENERAL RECALLED.
An Astonishing Series of Acts of Miscon
duct and Fraud.

London. February "a despatch from
Lisbon says that R. De Andrade, Gov
ernor General of Goa, the Portuguese
colony in India, has been recalled by the
government. Goa has been the scene
of "a revolt against the Portuguese
Authorities and a number of troops there
joined the rebels
1t has been discovered that kilograms
sent to Lisbon by De Andrade, telling
of bloody oombats with, and victories
over the rebels, were apooriphal. In his
despatch he mentioned officers worthy
of distinction for valor displayed by them
in the face of the enemy. These officers
it transpires, are personal friends of
this governor general and it has been
further proved neither they nor their
troops ever met the rebels. De Andeade
increased his own salary from six to
ten oontos of reis. and permitted his
adherents to plumber and murder people
in the colony. 1t is likely that he will be
severely punished.

toreSt.
New York, February s.-Murat Hal
stead cables the New York journal from
Havana, as follows:
Your correspondent, Nicholson, having
left to witness the important military
operations which it is anticipated will
take place at once. summary of he
situation may serve, in the course of
possibly decisive events, TO aid the gener-
al reader who has not been a critical
student of these affairs.
The Cuban insurreetion began in the
East end, but the insurgents have made
rush, to the West, and are beyond Ha-
vana in that direction. Regular troops
have been largely placed in line across
the narrow part Of the island south of
Havana to prevent rebels from returning
eastward. The press dispatches except
those of the Journal, have for some days
placed Gomez cast Of the line drawn
against him, but he is not there. The
organized forces of the rebellion are
southwestward from this point, and the
regular forces are handled with the in
| tention to cut them off, but the .nsur-
gents have shown wonderful facility in
eluding serious combats by galloping
around the f1anks OF the masses Of Span
ish infantry.
The rebel raid westward was rather
an assault upon the finances than the
military power of Spain. The policy of
Gomez is not to fight battles, but to de-
stroy the industries from which revenue
| flows. and 1t is his game now to make a
demonstration In this direction and move
for the centre of the island. His forces
are betuer armed than provisioDed. They
have no abiding place, if they risk en-
gagements and still have to move on.
their wounded must be taken prisoners
Hence Gomez evades pitched encounters.
Ihe Spanish troops are sparsely ex-
tended, for there's are many points to
guard. and the chances that the insurg-
ents will break line thirty Lmiles long
are quite good.
They have mules and horses and a
thorough knowledge Ut the paths On
the other hand, the regulars Of Spa in
have the railroads and the better coun try
roads. and plenty of artillery and ammu-i
milton and can care for their disabled.
The arrival of the governor general,
now on his way, is awaited with the
deepest interest by all parties. and the
people of every shade of opinion have
their anxieties. There has been dispo-
stion to cultivate excitement in Havana.
and it is aided by the imperfection Of in
formation.
Some agitation has arisen about the
alleged action of the American Congress,
but it Is as difficult here to know what Ia
going on in Washington as it is in Wash.
ington to ascertain the actual news here.

Hon. Jehn K. Gowdy, Indianapolis, Ind:
In view of the resolutions passed by the

Hitherto I have declined to speak to
the public on this matter, but scores of
friends to whom have talked and many
scores more to whom l have written will
recognize in this expression, the sub
stance of what have said to them.
When asked to say something to promote
my nomination I have said: s'No-there
never has been an hour since left the
White House, that have felt wish to
return to it," My Indiana friends have
been most devoted and faithful and 1
am their grateful debtor. The Republi-
can party has twice in national conven-
tion given me its Endorsement and that
is enough. / think the voters of our
party are now entitled to have new
name. For sentiment, great or small,
that has been manifested for my nomi-
nation am grateful, and of that wider
respect and kindness breaking party
lines which has been shown in many
ways, am profoundly appreciative
/ cannot consent that my name shall be
used in the St. Louis convention and
must kindly ask many friends to accept
this as a sincere and final expression
upon this subje6t.
