MORE NEW YORK BONDS.
Metz Talks It Over With Wall
Street-Rate Lower.

NEW YORK, May 2.-There Is so much
idle money around Wall street that tha
bankers and bond brokers have been ap-
pealing to Controller Metz to make big
issue of revenue bonds in anticipation Of
the taxes which become due October L.
AS rule these bonds are sold in patches
of few millions at a time just as the
administration needs the money to pay its
current expenses, and they are redeemed
after October /, when the taxes begin
to come in.
When it was suggested to Mr.. Metz that
IL he cared to make a large issue at this
time he could get them taken off his
hands at bargain prices. the controller
replied that he wouldn't mind borrowing
in bulk all the money he needed to carry
the city through until October IL he could
sale of revenue bonds money was strin-
gent and the city had to pay 6 per cent
At conferences held yesterday by Mr.
Metz with some Of the members OF the
syndicate which bought this issue it was
minated that the syndicate would take
up the bonds at per cent.
The offer was not accepted by Mr.. Metz:
Just at present the city is not in need OF
petty cash. and in order to offset the q
per cent he had to pay for the last sale
Mr.. Metz suggested that 311 per cent
interest rate would be equitable. Those
with whom Mr.. Metz conferred yesterday
didn't think SO. but it is understood that
they intimated that they might be willing
to take the bonds at 3b per cent. The
negotiations ended there. Mr. Metz said
he would think the matter over. and the
probability is that the $4OO0O,00 of rev
enue bonds will be sold at. around ~
per cent.

KINGS FINE STROKE
EDWARD SIMPLIFYING THE So
CALLED NORTHERN PROBLEM.
Special Cablegram TO The Star.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
STOCKHOLM. May The round of
visits which King Edward is paying to
the Scandinavian courts is of consid-
cradle interest in view of the so-called
settlement of the northern problem.
which was embodied in the recently con-
cluded Baltic and North seas treaty. In
reality very little has been settled so
far. Norway is not mentioned, as its in
tegrity is guaranteed and it's position is
we'll understood. Denmark's position. for
all practical purposes. is unchanged or,
rather. Interchangeable Sweden agreed
with Great Britain and France to de-
nounce the treaty whereby these TWO pow
ers jointly undertook to protect her
against Russia.
The amiable assurances of a desire to
maintain the status quo. which is the giSt
OF the new Baltic agreement that is sup
posed to serve in place of such protection.
may do Well or may not: but one fact
stands out clearly: Sweden. being under
the protection of no particular power or
powers, is at liberty to throw whatever
weight she possesses in whichever direc-
ton she may see fit.
This is the first fruit of the new king S
diplomacy. He has achieved a certain
amount of freedom of action and i'm
mensely increased the risks of the stu
alton in the Aland Islands. The question
will now be thraShed out between ST.
Petersburg and Stockholm. Sweden is not
a signatory to the treaty forbidding their
fertilization, but should she assent to the
denunciatiOn it is Difficult. to sse on what
grounds Great Britain and France could
object. If they should object Sweden will
have gained point by showing good will
toward Russia.
Again, should Swedish opinion be too
strong against the abrogation Of the
treaty, neither Great Britain nor France
could very well afford to yield to Rus
sian pressure. it would throw Sweden
into the arms of Germany and paralyze
Norway and Denmark. 1t is an interest
ing enough game. and is just as likely to
promote peace as anything else. 1t Is
said that with the possible exception OF
the King of Italy and the sultan there Is
no cooler head than that Of Gustav
around the European board today.
The decision of King Edward to include
Stockholm in his itinerary in the face OF
several points of etiquette in such mat
tiers is fine stroke. 1t is mooted point
with whom it originated. and it does no.
matter much. If with Edward, 1t shows
that he thoroughly understood the new
situation.
