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.
