WAsHTNeToN, June is.-The secre-
tary of the treasury informed the
members of the cabinet at yesterdays
session that the SUI descriptions to the
war loan we're coming in very rapidly
and that the indications pointed TO q
very large transcription. 1t is
now believed the entire amount could
have been disposed of at less rate of
interest than three per cent, and re-
Rretis expressed that the act authoriz-
ing the issue did not name a rate a
fraction less. On the offer received
yesterday to take 500, 900, 900 at IOl, the
government would have made 81, 900, =
900. In allotting the bonds the great
est possible care will be taken to pre-.
vent the acceptance of STRAW" sub.
scriptions. Bids evidently coming
from the members of the same family
will be treated in the aggregate, and
where there is a suspicion of an at
tie mpt to violate the spirit of the law,
the closest scrutiny will be made. 1t
is the purpose of the treasury officials
to carry out the spirit of the law, and
the bonds will be distributed to the
largest possible number of people, the
small subscribers being given the pre-
ference above all others. Up to this
time the subscriptions have far ex-
ceeded in number and amount the ex-
pectations of the officials.
