No Conference Willi Bankers on the Latest Bond Issue. MR. MORGAN WAS NOT CONSULTED The President Makes a Sweeping Denial of Charges Made In Senate Speeches, and Declares That the Popular Bond Issue T.'aa the Only One Suggested Wasiiinoton, .Inn. 10. Tho dobuto on tlio Klklns resolution in t j sonnto lust Friday, when t'iu administration was ac cused by suvcrol senators ot having en tered into an agreement with a syndicate to lloat tho expected lssuo of bonds, Is tho subject of a letter written by President Cleveland to Sonntor Caffroy, of Louis iana. Tho knowlcTlgo that such a letter had been addressed to Sir. Caffroy was ob tained last night, andthu letter was made public by tho latter. It is in tho hand writing of tlio president and covers sis pagos of clorely written note paper. It is dated Jan. 5, unil Is in part as follows: "I nin nniuzed at tho Intolerance that leads oven excited partisanship to adopt as n basis of attack tlio unfounded accusa tions in id assertions of a maliciously men dacious and sensational newspaper. No banker or financier, nor nay other humuu being, has been invited to visit Washing ton for tho purposo of arranging in nny way or manner for tlio disposition of bonds to meet tho present or f uturo needs of tho gold reserve. "No arrangement of nny kind has boon mndo.for tho disposition of such bonds to any syndlcato or through tho agency of any syndicate No assurance of such n disposal of bonds has boon directly or in directly glvou to any person. In point of fact, n decided leaning towards a popular loan and advertising for bids has been plainly exhibited on tho part of tho ad ministration at all times when the subject was under discussion. "Those charged with tlio responsibility of maintaining otir gold reserve, so far as legislation renders it possible, havo anxi ously conforred with cacli otlior, and, as occasion permitted, with thoso having knowlcdgo of llnanclal affairs and present monetary conditions as to tlio best and most favorable menus of selling bonds for gold. "The secretory of tlio treasury, from tlio first moment that tho necessity of another sale of bonds seemed to bo approaching, desired to oiler them, If issued, to tlio pcoplo by public advertisement If they could thus bo successfully disposed of. After full consideration ho enmo to tho conclusion, to which I fully agreo, that tho amount of gold in tho reserve, being now $20,000,000 moro than it was in Feb ruary last, whon a salo of bonds was inado to a syndlcato and other conditions differ ing from thoso then existing, justifying us in offering tho bonds now nbout to bo issued for sale by popular subscription. "This is the entire matter, and all thoso particulars could havo been oaslly ob tained by any member of tho sonnto by simple inquiry. "If Mr. Morgan or nny ono else, reason ing from his own standpoint, brought himself to tho bollcf that "tlio government would at length bo constrained to again sell bonds to n syndlcato, I supposo ho would liavo a perfect right, if ho chose, to take such stops as seemed to him prudent to put hlmsclfiu condition to negotiate." OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. Important Questions llpforo Tomorrow' Meeting of tlio Senate Committee. Washington, Jan. 10. Very general interest Is manifested about tho senate in tho special mooting of tho commltteo on foreign relations, which has been an nounced for tomorrow, to consldor tho various measures boforo it bearing upon tho foreign quostlons which havo recently boon receiving such goneral attention. It Is understood now that tho seuato will to day adjourn over until Monday, and in enso It does tlio commltteo will probably hold an all day session. It Is tho purposo of tho commltteo to tako up especially tho Cuban, Venezuelan nnd Armenian questions, with incidental roferouco, In connection with tho Vene zuelan subject, to tho Monroe doctrluo. Tlioro nro so many bills and resolutions boforo tho commltteo bearing upon all piloses of thoso questions that It Is qulto probublo that moro than ono day's sitting will bo necessary to dlsposoof thorn or any ono of them. Whllo tlioro is no posltivo Information obtainable at this tlmo, there nro reasons for boliovlng that proforenco will bo given to tho Cuban question. This question will bo considered when takou up on tho basis of tho propriety ot recogniz ing tho belligerency of tho insurgents. Thcro is unquostlonably a majority In tho commltteo favorable to granting this recognition, but tlioro may bo a division of sentiment as to tho tlmo when It should bo glvon. There is n fooling on tho part of conservative sonators that too great precipltateness In tills direction may do tho Cuban cause more Injury than bonoflt. It Is, therefore, posslblo that ovoti uftor investigating tho situation in Cuba as fully as Is posslblo positive action by tho commltteo will lie deferred to u tlmo which may be decided to bo moro opportune than tho present. Some of tho members of tho committee feel that tho tlmo is almost ripe fur a posi tive demonstration on tho part uf this country In Turkish waters, to omphaslzo tho determination of tlio United States to protect Its subjects in that quarter. Tho commltteo will consider the odvlsnblllty of a move for that purposo. It is believed that tlio Venezuelan prob lem, while the most Important ot all, may be postponed longer than tho others, in view of tho fact that tho appointment of tho special commission has hud the effect of postponing any crisis In that connection (or tho present.
