MR. GAGE TALKS OF BOND ISSUE.
HIS CONFERENCE WITH NETWORK BANKERS
EMrNENT1.Y SATISFACTORY.

Washington. April 2s-secretary Gage re-
turned this morning from New-York. where he
had a conference yesterday with prominent
bankers in regard to the proposed bond issue for
raising war funds In speaking to-day Of the
conference the Secretary said that the principal
purpose Of his visit TO New-York was TO obtain
from representative fnanciers and capitalists
their views the proposed bond issue. He had
definite proposition to make. and none was
expected from the bankers The result Of the
conference however was emnently satistact-
ory All seemed disposed TO do anything and
everything possible TO give any needed financial
support TO the Government In the present emer-

ducement for capitalists TO invest In per cent
bonds. when time loans were bringing per
cent and more the question OF profit
would be put 70 ore side. and whatever assist
ance the Government needed would be forth
coming All favored the popular loan idea. and
thought that the people should have an oppor-
tunity to invest In the new issue. Some Of tho
bankers expressed doubt To- the ability OF the
Government TO place among people OF small
means as much az 500 900 900 OF the bonds at

banks throughout the country were paying 81 ?

assist in disposing OF whatever was left and
they had no doubt that the whole amount Of

possibly two or three times over. Most of the
bankers present thought that the first issue
should be 5000 900, 900. War. they knew. was
an expensive business. and although there might
be no need for that amount in all probability
