OMAH/ T rm— TUESDAY MO DIFFICULT PROBLEMS SOLVED. | Maturing Bonds to be Extended and Silver | Ooinage Continued, SUBJECT ~ THOROUGHLY CONSIDERED, cretary Foster Advised With the ntry pted the Unani- mous ld¢ Best Financiers of the Co and Ac WasHINGTON BUREAU 0F 513 FounrTreNTI Wasiinaroy, D, ( y 0. Two of the most difficult problems which Secretary Foster has had to settle sinco ho assumed offico have been in conncetion with the refunding of the bonds which fall due this autumn and the coinaze of silver. Tho secretary realized, when eallod upon to mako his plans, that he had to steer botwean the devil and thedeep sea and that no matter how carefully he might navigato, his course would certamly bring down on him an end- less amount of criticism, but in order that ho might have tho vicws of some of the best fluanciers of the country, he sent out a num- ber of lettets to bankers in the different states and asked for their views on the ques- tion of refunding the maturing bonds at a lower rate of interest and aiso for their opin- ions as to the silver coinage continuance, the silver act having given him autnority to use his own discretion in the matter of con- tinuing the coinage of silver bullion after July 1, Coutrary to the usual customs of the gen- tlemen to wlom the secretary wrote, thoy promptly responded and, very much to his surprise, the roplies were unanimous in favor of extending the bonds, and with the excep- tion of a few eastern bankers, thero was also an almost unanimous endorsement of the con- tinued coinage of silver. The general tenor of the replies to the latter question was, that inasmuch as there exists an impression throughout the country that tne volume of the currcucy was too small, it_could do no harm to continue the existing coinage rates, Secretary Foster at the same time con- sulted a number of seuators who take the | grand jury greatest iuterest in financial affairs and they, without exception, coincided with the views of the bankers to the effect that tho bonds should be continued and that silver coinage should mot be stopped. Secretary Foster therefore had the endorsement of the best financial minds of the country bofore adopt- ing nis policy, and since it was announced thut the bonds would be extended and that silver coinage would continue, he has con- stantly received assurances that in both of these matters ho has pleased the public, and the barking of the democratic press uas in cousequence no terrors for him. IMPORTANT DECISION RENDERED, Assistant Secretary Chandier has rendered an_important decision iu the matter of a right of a mortgagee to lands entered, mort- gaged and_subsequently sold by the'ent man, which will probably st a precedent in a number of other cases, Frank L. Smith made a pre-emption cash entry for a quarter section in the Huron land district July 18, 1883, He mortgaged itto G. M. McKenzie for £00 inScptember, 1836, and in Octobor of the same yoar sold and conveyed the laud to Robert F. Stewart. A special agent re- ported the entry illegal, and it was held for cancellation in March, 1887. The register and receiver found against the validity of the entry in November, 1888 and recommended its cancellation, Tho commissioner of the general land office affirmed this recommendation. -An appeal to the secrctary was made by the Muscatine Mortgage company, the present mortgagees, and Mr, Chandler decides in their favor under the act of March 3, 1391, on the ground that no fraud has been found on the part ot the mortgagee, RECENT ARMY ORDERS.

Clarkson today shown tho dispatch in thy morning papers purporting to quote Senator Qugy s stating that he had decided to resign tho chawmanship of the ropublican national com- mitteo immediately aftor the election. Mr. Clarkson said: I am abls to state that this is true. Immediately after tho election Son- ator Quay stated to his colleagues on the ox- ecutive committeo that he desired to rosign as chairmun; that he did not desire to do tho detail work and have the de- tail correspondence of a political committeo, and still more that ho felt that a Umted States senator ought tot to be the chaiwrman of a national committee or any political com- mitteo, His colleagues in the committee ro sisted this and persuaded him not to resign, He renowed the wish four or five months afterwards and about the time of the inaug- uration insisted upon it with a great deal of determination, The judgment of the committes was opposed to it, and they were unanimous in the desire that the orgamzation, which had gone through a great struggle and which had performed a great work, maintaining abso- utely harmonious relations and the members becoming endeared to cach other thereby, should remain vnbroken until changed by the new national committeo created by the next national convention of the party. I nctly that the senator wus very pos oln hs desive to ratire’ and. was only changed from his purpose by the advice aud appoal of his colleagues, His health was frail ut times and he desired to bo rid of tho burden imposed by those details of a commit- tee which are much larger in the intervals of a campaign than is erally supposed. In the dullest time the chairman of the national committee receives an average of 100 letters a day which he has to answer. When his health failed in the senato and he went to Florida on his fishing tour he stated to me then his unalterable determination to resign.” Mr. Clarkson in the 1aterview spoke i tto highest torms of praise regarding Senator Quay, for whom ho had a high regard, affec- tion and respoct. was Senator Sherma innati. Ciyersyat, 0., July 20.—Senator John Snerman arrived here this evening and took rooms avthe Gibson house.

There wera numerous republicans in the oftice of the Gibson, evidently awuwiting an audienco with the distinguished states- man, the senator has been in Mansfield since Inst May and has evidently boen bene- fited by rest and the pure air of the countr; His ciean complexion shows the ruddy glow of health and his eye is clearer and brighter than that of many a much younger man, The remark that the papers of Cincin- nati had been busy in conjectures that his os fn visiting hore were political, ho ro- leerfully: *“That is the lot of all public men,” said he, ‘‘to be talked about in the papers and sometimes the information is not accurate, In the present case [ am here not by appointment for any meeting or con- ference. T hiave been in the habit of making annual visits to my constituents here and this is one of them. That isall there is to it. I'shall be here certainly until, Wednesday and possibly until Thursday.” The Commercial-Gazette will tomorrow print the following, written by General Foraker: “The only man I have had any conference with on the subject is Mr. Amoor Smith. He came to see me on General Sherman’s request to kaow what my position was, 1 gave it to him and he told me that he had written the same to the senator. This telk about hold- ing s conferenco for the purpose of citing me to appear before it, as though it were some august tribunal empowered to take jurisdiction of such matters and compel a man to explicitly define his position, which is only another way of saying get out of some one else’s road, and all that kind of stuff is simply s0 much nonsense, indicating that the fool friends are again abroal in the land. The whole business if true would be simply & pieco of preposterous gall and impudence with which noone would have any patience, " When the contents of ex-Governor For- aker's interview on the senatorial question wera repeated to_Senator Sherman be said : “Governor Foraker feels much about the matteras I do. I never requested him or desired any one to request him to withdraw from the candidacy for the senate. He has as clear and unquestioned a right to aspire to the position as I have. According to this statement he is a candidato very much as I am. 1 will not scramble for the support of the members of the legislature, ana if T should bo re-clected to the senato I would accept the trust and perform it as best I could.” The I given we here yesterday herc today to fix matters senatorship for himself.

PiiapgLpis, July 20.-The councilmanic committee mquiring into tho afMairs of ex- City Treasurer Bardsley and the wreck stone bani held a meeting this afternoon in the select council chamber. F'he report of the committee of experts was presented. “This report has already been publishod in these dispatches. Committceman Hicks offered a rosolution that another meeting of the committee be held on Thursday and that the prosidents and cashiers of the banks that are alleged to have paid interest to Bardsloy on doposits of city and state funds be subpeunaed. Tho resolution also requests that the editors of the newspapers that arc alleged to have paid a 40 per cent rebate for state aavertising and Auditor General McCamant, who is alleged to have received a portion of ~the said rebate from Bardsley. be also subpanaed. The next witness was Samuel B. Huey, counsel for the estate of John O, Lucas, late president of the Keystoue.bank, who road u statement of his knowledge' of Lucas' indebteduoss to the Keystone bank. He pro- duced lottors that corroborated Postmaster General Wanamaker's statement of his con- nection with the loan of 0,000 which the latter_obtained from the Grand trust com- pary for Lucas’ use, the collateral furmshed beitii 1,000 shaces of Keystone stock, which had been charged on the check book stubs to Mr. Wanumaker. Mr. Hucy's statoment shows that the in- debtedness of Mr. Lucas to the bunk at the time of his death in 1839 wa 1,000, not £1,000,000, a8 had heaa printed in the papers, This indebteaness had been, he said, sottled by the widow. Mr. Hue rofuced letters and memorandums which corroborated Post- master Geoeral Wanamaker's explanation of his connection with the loan of $40,000 he had obtamed for Lucas from the Girard trust company, the collateral furuished being 1,000 shares of Keystone bank stock, which the certificate book showed had been issued in Wanamaker's name, but which that gen- tloman denied having owned. Mr. Huey said he questioned Marsh as to the manner in which the overissue occurred and the lat- ter rephied that the certificates were all genuine in that they had been regularly taken from the ceruficate book and signed by the oficers of the bank, but that as stock which ad_beon sold was brought in for transfer and new certificates 1ssued the old certificatos were not always cancelled, but were sometimes thrown intoa deawer and usel again if occasion required and that this pubtless was the way in which these certi- ates held by Mr. Wanamaker had been vsed. Of course,” he udaed, “Mr. Wana- maker knew kunowing of this and there as nothing on the certiiicates to indicate any ir- rogulavity,” Mpr. Huey spoke of the efforts on behalf of the Lucas estate to redeen these cortificates and said that after a settlement had been made soon after Mr. Lucas' death #15,000 would have placed them in the hands of Mr. Lucus, but s time went on and the losses in Reading railroal stock increased the indeb edness of the Lucas estate to Mr. Wanamaker likewise lnereased Colonel A, K. McClure, editorof the Times, who nad been mentioned in Bardsley's “Sstatement,” positively denied Buardsioy's charge that he was to profit by the advocacy in bis newspaper of the sale by the eity of the gas works 1d the South mountain water schome. Mr. McClure said the single grain of truth in Bardsley's refereuce to hun was that he did request that Magistrate Smith be appointed as one of the collectors of the delinquent taxes in which a fee is re. tained. His renson was that Smith was in poor health, becuuse of his sufle from a wound received during the war, and he wanted to help him, An atdavit signed ) had b ir mmittee by Judg 1in th Bardsl Finletter, “statoment was read Judge Einletter denies thut ho ever had any porsonal, political or other business relations with Bardsloy, except that soon after Bards loy's sloction” Mark H.
