THE NEW BOND ISSUE.
In regard to the recent popular bond
issue, the secretary makes these sugges-
lions, in view of the fact that the whole
issue Of 5000, 600, On0 could have been sold
at premium of probably IL per cent.
1t Is evident that an attempt by Con-
gress to fix the proper rate of interest to
justify an offer of the governments
obligations at par will always be suDJeot
to one of two dangers:
First, II the rate of interest be fixed too
iow-time and circumstances being con-
sidered-the loan may fail, with the con-
sequence of serious arrangements to the
treasury; or,
Second, If the rate of interest be fixed
too high, and the issue offered at par.
while it will be early taken, the result
may be e great economic waste to the
treasury.
The secretary urges upon Congress the
necessity of currency and banking re-
form, and repeats the recommendations
made by him last year.

LONDON AFTERNOON P.PERs.
Like Presidents Message All But AIIus-
ion to Nicaragnan Canal

London, December 6.-The afternoon
papers here express satisfaction at Presi-
dent McKinIey's message to Congress,
with the exception of his allusion to the
Nicaragua Canal which, to the minds OF
editors does not show sufficient apprecia-
tion of British treaty rights.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "In
language of studied moderation but which
leaves no room to doubt it's meaning, the
President foreshadows the fixed determi-
nation of the government to stand by the
policy of the open door in the East.
That declaration brings the United States
in line with us, IL ever the time comes
to speak with enemies in the open door
way.
referring to the Nicaragua Canal, the
Gazette remarks: while fully admitting
the validity of the Presidents claims for
the complete protection OF the commerce
of the United States. We may be per-
mittsd to point out that British Interests
are no less entitled to consid sration and
that the government at Washington Is al
ready bound by definite obligations. We
are convinced. however, that when 1t
comes to business there will be no dis
position in the United States to question
the position of friendly equality of the
two countries in this matter. "
The st. James Gazette says: .sThe mes
sage viii be read with pleasure. The
President faces new issues in a broad
minded way and suggests the solution of
their problems on large and generous
lines.n
The ST. James Gazette reads the
Nicaragua and friendly relations with
Great Britain sentences of the message to-
gether and draws the Inference therefrom
that President Mckinley recognizes the
binding character of the Clay tom Bulwer
treaty.
"It would be strange" the article con-
tinues, s'if the opportunities just now
afforded by ths Canadian negotiations do
not result in the near future In a DOM
prehensiye unde-s standing between the
two great branches of the English speak
ing race, not merely on the broad, gen.
eral lines of common commercial interests
but on such closely related lines as the
creation and guarantee of the interccsanic
waterway.
