Secretary Believes Price of Bonds is Un- -
 reasonably High

Washington, March 1.-The secretary of the treasury has announced that he will discontinue for the present the pur- chase of United States bonds of the 5 per cent. loan of 1904, the 4 per cent. funded loan of 1907, the 3 per cent. loan of 1906-S and the per cent. loan of 1926, such discontinuance to take effect at the close of business to- morrow.
 The secretary believes that the price of bonds is unreasonably high and that the effect of the government being per manently in the market stimulates and helps to maintain this price to the prei- udce of national bank circula tion. Banks are said to be retiring circulation as rapidly as possible, presumably for the purpose of selling the bonds now on deposit at present prices or for the pur- pose of using them with the treasury as security for government deposits, In making government deposits the secre- tary Is disposed to discriminate in fa- vor of such banks as maintain their and by these two methods hopes to overcome the tendency to re- tire national bank circulation.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Senators McLaurin and Hnrrts Oppose
 the Measure.

Washington. March 14.-Throughout the session of the senate to-day the ship subsidy bill was under considera- tion. The measure was discussed by MT. Foraker of Ohio, MT McLaurin of Mississippi and MT Harris of Kansas MT. Foraker supported the bill all though he admitted that he would have preferred to build up the American merchant marine by the levying of dis crirninating duties. He was willing. however, to defer to the judgment of the majority that the pending measure embodied the better plan. z
 Both MT. McLaurin and MT. Norris opposed the measure on the ground that in their judgment it was not cont sttutional. They maintained that it was class legislation which amounted to little short of robbery of the people for the benefit of few ship owners. Mir Harris made the point that the United States now was paying more to the American line for carrying of ocean mails than was paid to foreign ships for greater service.

Washington, March 12, 1902

Washington, March F, 1902.
 "Sir--Referring to the resolution re- gently introduced in the house, 1 beg to make the following statement of facts: A few days ago a. young gentleman called and asked whether this depart ment would issue passports to Rev, MT. Thomas and Mrs Thomas, who were intending to go to South Africa for the purpose of distributing funds which had been collected in Illinois for the benefit of the sufferers by the war 1 said at once that the department would issue the passports desired and that I would also give MT. Thomas a letter commenting him to every one whom I could influence and asking their assist ance in his errand. Inquiry was then made whether this government would ask of the British government permis- sion for Mir. and Mrs. Thomas to go at will through the British military lines and camps-a suggestion which l thought iinpractcable.
 This department is ready at any time to consult with representative of Governor Yates as to the best means of getting into the proper hands sums contributed by charitable people in Illi- nois for the relief of the sufferers by the war in South Africa.
