SUB-TREASURrS FATE SEALED
SECRETARY CARLISLE SAYS THERE
IL No NEED OF ONE.

The National Banks in This SECTION
Designated as Government DEPOSIT
tories Declared Able TO Handle All
the Business-The Sub-Treasury at
Charleston Discontinued on Ac-
count of the small Amount of BusI-
ness Handled.
Washington. Feb. 5.-Representative FL
lott. while at the treasury department
to-day, had a long talk with Assistant
Secretary Curtis on the subject OF the
establishment of sub-treasury at
Charleston. IL was apparent from the
outset that Mr. Curtis did not look with
favor upon the proposition, for he in
formed Col. Elliott that he had just re-
ported adversely on the bill OF Repre-
sentative Lester. providing for the es-
tablishnlent of a sub-treasury at Savan-
nah.
Under the circumstances, Col. Elliott
says. there seems 20 be very little prob
ability Of any of the South Atlantic states
being provided with sub-treasury by
the present congress. Mr.. Curtis. who
has jurisdiction over that branch OF the
service. stated to Col. Elliott that the
only object to be accomplished by the
government in establishing a sub-treas-
ury is to provide a place for the deposit
of government bonds. where the deposits
are too large to permit of suitable
bond being given by national bank as
a government depository In the South
Atlantic cities at the present time, says
Mr.. Curtis, all the purposes of sub
treasury are served by having national
banks appointed as government deposit
tories The government receipts In that
section are not so great as TO make II
impossible for the national banks to give
proper bond to serve as q depository.
Charleston was discontinued in 1875 be-
cause of the small amount Of the gov
ernment deposits, which were about S.
100000, and to-day the sub-treaSury receiV-
ing the smallest amount of deposits receive
at least six times that amount. Upon
reaching the capitol, Col Elliott learned
that Mr.. Curtis letter on the Lester bill
had been received by the committee on
ways and means.
In spite Of the adverse report of the
friends Of Savannah and Charleston are
not discouraged and they propose 10
press the matter before the committee
with the expectation of securing favora-
ble report in favor of one Of the two
cities.
Secretary Carlisle also opposes the prop
ositlon to establish a sub-treasury at Sa-
Vannah. The secretary shows In a letter
to Chairman Dingley that there are now
national bank repositories at Savannah
and Atlanta and in the adjoining states.
These, he says, transact the public busi-
ness satisfactorily and without expense
20 the government In his opinion, there
fore, there is no necessity for savannah
sub-treasury.
The practical effect of the seeretary's s
letter win probably be to defeat the BILL

Connersville, Ind, Feb. 5.-Ex-United
States Treasurer j. N. Huston made an as

SUCCESS of THE BOND CALL.
Secretary Carlisle Delighted at the
Rush of Bids.

Washington, Feb. 5.-President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle have a right
to rejoice tonight, because their faith
in the people of this country has been fully
justified by the magnificent response to
the can of the government for financial
Two days after the latest bond call was
issued the enemies of the administration
endeavored to dscredit the proposed loan,
and abused both the President and Sec
retary Carlisle for Issuing the call. 1t
was freely predicted on all sides that the
loan would be failure, and the secre-
spite of the wild predictions of failure, the
statement was made in these dispatches
at that time that the loan would be
success. That statement. which was
printed exclusively in these dispatches,
was inspired by Secretary Carlisle, just
after protracted consultation with Pres
ident Cleveland. The secretary an
nounced that the proposed loan would be
a success, because the government had
1t in its power to make ii a success. Ger
tain persons were disposed to condemn
such a bold prediction at that time as
unworthy of serious consideration, yet to-
days demonstration at the treasury
department proves there Is plenty of
money in the United States and the credit
of the government is beyond reproach.
1t was with feeling of supreme pride
that Secretary Carlisle sat in his office
to-day and heard the reading of the list
of bidders. The aggregate amount sub
scribed was far in excess of the most
friendly and enthusiastic predictions, and
Secretary Carlisle could not conceal his
qualification at the result.
To your correspondent he stated that
he was surprised and delighted at the
liberality of the bids and the Unexpectedly
large number of bidders.
The most gratifying feature of the bond
issue is that in spite of the free silver
agitation the practical people of the
country discounted the bluff of the free
silver cranks in congress and came 10y
ally to the support of the government
