NO NEED OF BOND ISSUE.
Seer etary Gage Explains the Condition
OF the Treasury.

Washington. February "a Secretary
Gage said today that there was no truth
whatever in the published statement that
another bond issue was in contempla-
ton. He pointed out that there Is now an
available balance in the treasury Of over
S27l ,Oo0, 100 and although the expendi-
lures are now and for some time are ex-
pected to be in excess Of the receipts, the
treasury situation is not such as to war
raEt any apprehension for the near flu
ture. Indeed, 1t is believed by treasury ex-
perts that'after deducting the payment to
spain OF $50, 0Oo.0D0 un Ter the treaty
agreement and So 900. 900 to the Cuban
army, there will be cash balance In
the treasury on July /, next, OF at least
SEQ. Oo0, 900. Already the proceeds of last
bond issue OF 5000. 900, 600 have been ex-
hausted and SIC, 900. GOO additional In the
prosecution oil the war, and 1t Is expected
that heavy pay ments on this account
may continue for one or two or even
three years, although probably in de-
oreasing amounts. Notwithstanding these
heavy dis burs ments, the officials have
nd doubt that the receipts on account of
the nav revenue act will be in excess Of
300 OOQ Ou0 yearly, making the total re-
osiuts approx imatsly $4s5, UO0, 900. With
this heavy income and the expenditures
gradually decreasing it is the opinion Of
the officials that no bord issue with be
necessary. Should 1t become necessary,
no viewer, to recoup the cash in the treas.
ury, under no oiroum stances would the
treasury issue any bonds but would take
advantage Of the authority granted by
the war revenue net TO issue three per
cent short time certificates. The bonds

beautiful Lady Rosamond, the favorite

Rosamond and Fair Rosamond's Well
is one that the folk around Blenheim

1t is pretty, though pathetic tale.
King Henry II. lived in Woodstock

who, though queen of England, was
never queen of his heart. Henry loved
Rosamond, the daughter of Earl Cliff

had built for her in the forest sur

which the vines and shrubbery were
trained to grow, till. in time. they hid

which also were hidden from view by
overgrown shrubbery, there was
spring of crystal water which flowed
into pool, used by Lady Rosamond
for her morning bath.
From one of the rooms in his palace
the king had dug out an underground
passage, through which he could 60
part of the way to the retreat of Rosa
mond. From the underground passage
he emerged into the forest, and
through the maze from the passage to
the bower, Rosamond had twined
silken thread in and out among the
