The Treasury Department Overwhelmed With Bidders. THE LOAN A STUPENDOUS SUCCESS. Over Four Thousand Offers Received, Aggre gating $558,269. 850 Morgan Syndicate the Largest Bidders The Whole Is sue Will be Floated at Above 110. Washington Feb. 0. Four thousand tlx hundred and forty bids for $558,269,850 worth or bonds. Such Is tlio tremendous total of tho subscriptions opened ut tho treasury department yesterday. In accord ance with tho terms of tho call Issued a month ago Inviting proposals for 100,000, OOOof United States 4 per cent, bonds to run for thirty years from Feb. 1, 1895. These figures do not lncludo about J120, 000,000 ot "ornnk" bids rejected as boRiis. Tho Immense oilerlugs astounded ex ports. The bids literally swamped tho treasury department, which was so token by surprlso that at 0 o'clock last night, al though oxtra clerks had been hurriedly drafted, the work ot tabulating tho bids was still In progress, and It was Impossi ble to tell with dellulteness how many bids and for what aggregate had been re ceived at figures In advance of tho upset price of 110.0877, at which a syndicate composod of J. P. Morgan & Co., Harvey Flsk & Co. nud tho Deutsche Bank of Bor lin offered to take tho whole loan. The bids ranged from par up to a sluglo 150 bid at 160. It Is Impossible, therefore, to say at this time how tho awards will be made. Treasury officials regard the loan us a complete Success, both as to tho popu lar subscription feature and the prices ob tained. Bids came front several thousand Individuals und from hundreds of national banks und other banking tustltutlons. Nearly all the leading New York bankors und blginsurnnco companies were repre sented in tho list of bidders, but with fow exceptions thoy wero out maneuvered by the Morgan syndicate. Owing fo the confusion caused by tho magnitude of the offerings and tho conse quent delay in classifying aud scheduling the bids any nuthorltatlvo statement of the policy that will bo pursued cannot bo made ut this time. As the great bulk of tho of ferings were below tho Morgan figure it Is believed that tho syndicate headed by tho great Now York banker will bo ac cepted for nt least $50,003,000, and possibly more. In any event no bid below tho syn dicate rate of 110.0877 will bo accepted, as that rato.covers tho entire lonn. It is un derstood that Mr. Morgan will procure part of tho gold from abroad, and will not need to deplete tho treasury to furnish nny part of tho gold called for under his bid. There wero a vast number of bids for figures fractionally rising 110, but under the Morgan figure, and for amounts ag gregating sulllclcnt to take up the entire loan. Among them wero tho oilers of the Stewart and McCall syndicates, Including the big lnsurauco, banking and trust com panies of New York city, which stood ready to take hugo blocks ot bonds at fig ures In excess of price named a week ago us high mark for long lots. Secretary Car lisle was greatly pleased at tho success ot tho bond offerings. Ho said no deflnlto Btatoment could b3 mado as yet concern ing tho awards to successful bidders, nor how far, if at nil, he would exorcise his op tion of rejecting any or all bids. When tho department closed Tuosday night about 8,000 bids had beon received, und at 7;30 yesterday morning a force of clerks was set to work classifying and scheduling them. Tho bulk ot the work wis then thought to bo over, at least ex cept for a fow bids for large amounts, but the morning mulls brought In at least S.O00 moro bids, which hud the effect of greatly disarranging tho plans. Tho Intorest manifested in this loan far exceeded that of any of tho preceding ones, und when tho hour for opening tho 4blds nrrlved tho south corridor of tho treasury building In the vicinity of Mr. Carlisle's otllco was crowded with bidders or their representatives and newspaper correspon dents. Wneu nt 11:30 tho door ot tho secretary's oflice was opened a rush was mado for teats, and in a very short time no avail able space remained uuflllcd. So great was the crowd that to afford easier en trnnconnd exit tho door was removed from Its hinges. Among tho last to urrlvo wero Messrs. J. P. Morgan and Harvey Flsk, of Now York, who found in tho crowded room nhoad of thorn numbers of well known financiers. Tho committee to superintend the open ing of tho bids conslstod of United States Treasurer Morguu,ComptrollcrKckols and Mr. Huntington, of tho loans and cur rency division. It was an Interested crowd that listened to Mr. Kckols ns ho read the names of the bidders and tho amounts subscribed for, aud it is probable that moro millions wero represented in Mr, Kckels audience than wore ever before gathered together In tho treasury build ing. Three or four of tho bids carried with them evidences of being fictitious, und they were accordingly omitted from tho list. It would bo lmposslblo with any ordi nary telographto or typographic facilities to give a complete list of all bids, und save us a matter of history no Importance at taches now to uny bids naming below 110.0877. From the list or bidders ut und above that figure tho successful bidders undoubted! will como. The Controller Act. County Controller Severn and his attorney are in Philadelphia In attendance ut tho supremo Court. It is expected that the court will clthor to-day or to-morrow consider the Controller act, on an appeal taken from Judge Lynch i decision, in Luzerne county, declar ing tho act unconstitutional.

After a de liberation of four hours tho jury In the Fitzgerald case, nt 0:30 o'clock last night, brought in a verdict of guilty of nrsou'ln tho second degrco.

Ho was captured, convicted and Is now serving u year's term nt Auburn prison for arson In tho third degree. Father Fitzgerald was out of town nt tho tlmo of tho fire, but evidence was introduced nt tho trial that this was part of tho conspir acy, tuul that tho defendant wix away simply for tho sake of an alibi.

MORE ROOMS FOR PUPILS NEEDED The Borough wm Furnish Water Free of Charge to the Schools, the School Board to Make the Connections. Thanks Voted to Council. A regular meeting of the School Board was held last evening with tho following Directors in attendance) : Messrs. Ogdeu, Treziso, liaugh, Edwards, Price, Hanna, Lee, Morgan, Connors, Books, James, Manley and Smith. Before tho regular order of business Vias taken up Mrs. Greenhurg, of West O.ik street, appeared and stated that boys attend ing tho West street public school continually annoy her; that they broke tho door of htr house and soveral window panes in the synagogue with stones. Tho matter was le ferred to Superintendent Whitakcr for in vestigation. Superintendent Whitakcr made his report forthe month of January, giving the follow ing statistics : For day schools : Term enroll ment Hoys, 115S; girls, 1030; total, 3097. Monthly enrollment Hoys, 1117 ; girls, 1301 ; totul, 2508. Average daily attendance Hoys, 101! ; girls, 1110; total 2151. Percentage of attendance Hoys, 01 ; girls, 88 : total, 00.

Vikits by citizens, 50 ; by Directors, 12. Tiie Superintendent supplemented the statistics with tho statement that tho thir teen evening schools, including tho girls' schools, had an average attendance hut month of 231, while for the corresponding period last term the nine schools had un average of 230, The attendance has fallen off so much that tho supciintendent thought tho question of closing some of tho schools should lcceivu consideration. He ulso called attention to the question of tho erection of a new school building and said that if the Hoard intended to cicct one work should be commenced early enough to havo it com pleted for the next school term. The ne cessity of an additional school becoims ap parent, ho slid, when it is considered that the High school has outgrown Its present class, and the attendance at the schouls will probably he Increased by 300 when tho com pulsory educational bill goes into operation. The building and lepatrs committee also recommended that the building question be taken up. The Hoard referred the matter to that committee, tho president of the board and the superintendent, with instruc tions to call a special meeting, if necessary. Theic was considerable discussion as to the evening schools. Mr. Hooks said he favored a canvass of tiie schools to see how many pupils desired and would take ad vantage of a six months term, and if a sulll ( ient numher are ho desirous schools be kept open for their benefit. Thu term is now in its fourth month. The matter was disposed of by a motion that tho matter he referred to the evening school committee with in structions to make tho canvass and call a special meeting, if necessary, when icady to report. The oath of oil'iee of Charles E. Kmith, who was elected nt tho Hoaid's last meeting to succeed the late Joint T. Stanton, was read and filed and the president instructed Mr. Smith to take tho places on the com mittees mado vacant by Mr. Stanton's death. The building nnd repairs committee stated that tho water committee of tho Borough Council had received the Hoard's applica tion for water supply very courteously and tho schools will be supplied with water fiee of charge, on condition that the School Hoard bears the expense, of making connections. On motion of Mr. iiauiia tho Hoard ten dcicd thanks to tho Water Committee (or its courtesy and to the Borough Council for its liberality iu granting a supply of witer to the schools frco of cost. Mr. Edwards, of tho financo committee. stated that there is a balance of $8,522.77 in the treasury. M.J. Scanlan, the Tax l!e- cclver, has paid tho Hoard $8,000 since the last meeting, and (22,000 for tho school year, making a full payment on tho 1801 dupli cate Secretary Treziso called attention to the filthy condition of closets iu tho basement of tho West street school building, duo to mis chlevousness of boys, and upon his sugges tion ;he Hoard went Into tho basement iu a body and Investigated. They found many obscene marks iu addition to tho filth. No definite action was decided upon. After re turning to the meeting room the Houtd in structed the superintendent to notify all teachers that any pupils found guilty of de facing school property will bo immediately expelled. Director James took exception to a report by the Building aud Itcpairs Committee against his proposition to increase the salaries of janltorsand havo them look alter tho le imiring of the heating apparatus in their respective buildings. A warm oxchango between Directors James and Leo ensued. Director Edwards said the janitors would have no tlmo only during vacation to do the. work and would want their salaries raised to $50 per mouth if requited to do it, A motion by Director James that tho salaries of tho janitors bo increased $0 per incnth nndj'that thoy ho required to do tho work failed by reason of not being seconded.
