SYNDICATE DISSOLVED.
Banker Morgan Confident That the Pub

Banker Morgan Confident That the Pub
lilo VIII Take the bonds.
New YORK, Jan. IT, The bond syn
dictate has been dissolved. Members Of
the government bond syndicate received
in their mail q circular letter from J. p.
Morgan & Co., releasing them from
their commitments to furnish their
pro rata of 500, ZOO, 900 in gold. and a
second $1OO, 900, 900 if desirable, taking
their payment therefor in per cent
government bonds. Accompanying this
letter was circular explaining why the
syndicate was forme |, what action was
taken in its behalf, and why 1t was dis
solved.
The reason given for dissolution of
the syndicate is that the syndicate con-
tract called for bid Of "all or none"
and therefore Mr.. Morgan was unwill-
ing to make q bid under the present
circumstances as he might seem to
present for consideration by the secre-
tary of the treasury the throwing out
of smaller bids made in good faith IN
der the public CALL
The only emergency in Mr.. Morgan's
judgment which would justify such q
course would be the failure of the
public to respond to the call of the gov
eminent. 1t has been necessary to de-
lay the dissolving of the syndicate up
to the present time, as every financial
interest required protection afforded by
the knowledge that the syndicate was
in existence, prepared to make the loan
q success under any circumstances. The
circular concluded:
II feel perfectly satisfied that there
is no question a. to the success Of the
loan."

WINNIPEG. Jan. 1B.-Results in the
Manitoba general elections were most
disappointing to the opposition and a
complete victory for Greenway. The
school question was made the sole issue.
The day was cold and stormy, which
prevented hundreds of farmers from
going to the polls. 1t is a notable fact
that the towns and villages generally
gave majorities for the government
candidates, while the country places
usually went the other way. In Port

LONDON, Jan. l8.-Hon. A. j. Bal
four, first lord Of the treasury, speaking

human nature that tho present oondi.

that President Kruger would recognize

ing line of the combs back emphasizes
the curves of the head and gives class
ic effect to the profile that is desirable
with the modern costume. Side combs
are at their best when worn with tiny
hats and bonnets, but they are tucked
beneath even such large and SNOWY hats
as the one pictured here. The gist OF
the matter is that if a woman has
handsome pair of combs she can be
trusted to display them at every oppor-
tunity. While they are worn with such
hats as this one, they add very little to
its general effect, because the hat itself
is SO big and elaborate. 1t is made of
violet felt, with wide brim and a mod
erately low crown, which is encircled
by ruffle of violet satin, headed with
narrow lace frill at the top, banded
with narrow black satin ribbon in the
center. In back spreading black bow,
with double loops, sets up against the
crown, and on either side are aigrettes
of fine black feathers. Then a jabot of
lace falls over the brim on the right
side. This hat may be faced with violet
