STAND BY THE SECRETARY.

The leading newspapers Of the east
are giving great credit to Secretary
| Shaw, for the excellent manner in
which he handled the recent issue of
Panama bonds. Considering that
these bonds only drew 2 per cent 1t
was good management to sell them
even at par but the secretary, by the
exercise of a little financial good
sense, raised them to premium which
comes very near per cent. The
Philadelphia Inquirer, in commenting
on the excellent work of the secretary,
says:
Under the circumstances Secretary
Shaw must be congratulated on his
remarkable feat of selling the 2 per
cent, short term bonds at an average
premium of about per cent. This
gain of $1,200,000 to the treasury is as
pleasant as it is unexpected, and is
the result of the secretary's efforts to
create an artificial market. Some
| weeks ago it appeared that there
would be no bidders for the bonds at
more than 1 per cent premium. The
outstanding long term per cents are
selling very slowly at about 1903, based
on their value as deposits for national
bank circulation, and there appeared
to be no eagerness on the part of the
banks to take any more for circulation
purposes.
"The secretary had foreseen some
such condition, so moSths ago he no
titled banks holding federal deposits
that on July 20 he would call in a
large amount of the money. At the
same time he notified lot of small
banks throughout the country that
they could get federal deposits if they
gave government bonds as security.
This whetted the market appetite so
that the offers for the bonds, as stat.
ed, averaged about 104. And this at
a time when the money markets of the
world were decidedly upset and our
own railway and industrial securities
were declining in price.
Comparatively speaking, the result
is remarkable. French rentes are sell;
ing below 81, British consols were be-
low 81, but recovered fractionally on
Saturday. Russian As were below IL
and the IS below 81 on Saturday, and
with the dismissal of the douma were
likely to go lower still this week.
Nearly s6O0,000,000, or two-thirds Of
the total funded debt Of this country,
are in 2 per cent bonds. In the next
two years about s233, 100000 of and
per cents will fall due and it is the
intention to extend them at per cent
and in the meantime further sales OF
canal bonds are probable. 1t was for
this reason the secretary was anxious
to make a good showing on the pres.
ent sale and he has succeeded beyond
all reasonable expectations.
while the sale Of these bonds by
no means indicates that per cent is
good rate for money in this country,
the bonds being easily worth 3 per
cent considering their special uses,the
showing is good as compared with 9TH
err nations. Moreover, gold is coming
this way and more engagements are
expected during the present week.
The business of the country is excel
lent, crops are exceeding the most lib
eral estimates, while speculation alone
languishes. On the whole, therefore,
the secretary and the country are to
be congratulated"

NOT A MoNEY.MAklNe SCHEME

While it is not compulsory upon
any citizen to attend the sessions OF
the Oskaloosa Chautauqua, yet it is
something of duty. The Chautau-
qua association lost money last year
and without grumbling borrowed the
money and made the deficit good.
All the association hopes for is reve-
nue. sufficient to pay the Indebtedness
at the close of the sessions. They ask
and expect no more. If there should
be a surplus it will be set aside and
used to make the next years assem-
bly, more attractive and beneficial.
The association has but one object in
view, that of entertainment which
may prove intellectually profitable as
we'll as providing days of rest and
recreation for those who may attend.
The program this year is high pric'
ed as we'll as high class, and some
thing of value can be derived from
every days session. You owe it to
yourself and family to encourage a
continuance of such excellent form OF
entertainment.

WORK IS SUSPENDED
IN Anthracite FIELDS

Philadelphia, April 2.-Reports re-
eeived today from the anthracite
fields state that the order Of the min
ers' scale committee. directing that
mining be suspended until an agree
ment could be reached with the oper-
ators i. being obeyed almost to the
man.
In ali three districts preparations
we're made by the operators for a re-
sumption of work this morning. Whis-
ties we're blown at the regular hour
and everything was in readiness for
the men to 60 to work, but there was
no response by the miners and the day
took on holiday aspect. Foremen,
engineers and pumpmen, who are not
affected by the suspension order, re-
ported as usual, but it was apparent
that the scores of epmty coal cars
which had been hurried to the collier
les would not be needed unless an
agreement was reached between Presi-
dent Mitchell and the coal presidents
IN their conference in New York to-
morrow.
That great many miners believe
there will be bitter struggle between
the werkmen and their employees was
evidenced by the departure Sunday
and today of scores of miners from the
schuylkill region. A majority OF
these men are foreigners, who will GO
10 their homes in Europe and there
await the outcome of the pending
strike.
At many of the collieries in the Lu.
