New York, Nov. 22.—A number o£
foreign bankers held a conference wltU
the presidents of tlio leading trust com
p-lira's this afternoon in die United
states Trust Company's office. There
were represented the tollawing houses:
Speyer & Co., Kuhn, loeb. & Col,
Drexel, Murgua & Co., Heideibadh,
kkullwimer & Co., hazard Frcres &.
Co. ahd J. and W. Sellstnuo.
The amtugoments were perfected for
tab ng a block of bonds, but wheither
tho bids would be for Uxo wbolo
amount or not Mr. John A. Stowort,
president of the United States Trust
Company, declined to say. There Is no
syndloaito fiormeil In tho technical sense,
buit a general uiulersmndlng as to the
price at which bids would bo put in
was reached. Arrangements wore also
perfected for securing tho gold.
Xolnvitkslhmding tho mystery with
which prospective bidders ore envelop
ing their intentions, it is understood
Hint tho national banks will put in
llidr bids on a 3 per cent, basis, while
tho coinlinntioii of trust companies
aud foreign bankers will bid sligh/tly
under 3 per cent.
There has been uo formal agreement
between the banks regarding the tueth-
•otl of furnishing the gold, but this
is not necessary at the present time,
us tho terms of tho subscription only
require payments in inshtllments. A
dozen bonks held the major portion of
the goto in Now York city and it is
espeoted thrut tho tanks will part with
40 per oent. of their gold holdings. It
is extremely unlikely that the banks
will ooobe togwlher to determine what
shall bo done regarding die gold until
Monday next. The bids will all bo in
then, and the banks holding tlio uulk
of die goljl will bo able to determine
fully what they will he oalled upon to
do. As It Is expeoted that tile Issue
will bp- over-subscribed for, uach stilt:
seriber will not know what nmonnt
of gold he will need uufc'l the treasury
allotment Is made. Tho Now- York
banks will then know how much gold
will be required by lhelr depositors
and can act Intelligently.
OTiie presence of a representative
from each of the foreign houses wihldh
condluot the gold shipping business
also leads to the belief that If the New
York banks Should tall to do their full
duty, the gold wilt be sent abroad.

WILL TAKE ALL THE BONDS.
Two New York Syndlccutes Make Large
, Subscriptions.
New York Nov. 23.-It was rmor-M
late in the day that after a protracted
oonferened, a syndicate was mode up
tills afternoon to take one-htilf of the
$50,009,000 government loan. President
Stewart of the United States Trust
Company and hia friends subscribed
for the other half. The new syndicate
is said to comprise the Chemical, Park,
Importers and Traders, the Chase, ;he
Fourth National and the Bank of Com
mentoe.- These banks are among the»
largest holders of gold, and if they
take the loan Ohe treasury will be a
large gainer of the yellow metal.
The agents In this city of the Bank
of Montreail will receive $600,000 In gold
from Canada this week and $400,000
next week.
I*t*.is understood that this gold is to
pay for subwcrlptloua to- the govern

DISPENSARY-MURDER CASE.
The Case'at BarnWell Is Only Half
Finished.
When the fore Ism houses know* what
amount of bonds is awarded to them,
-they dan begin drawing their bills
of exchange on London, and ua ample
time Is allowed for making the full
payments to the government if any
large blocks of bonds are taken by
them, their bills will force down the
foreign exchange market and (permit
gold to be Imported more dheaply than
the present condition of the foreign
exchange market would-seem to war
rant.
The local treasury offletais. who are
watching the bankers very closely,'
have reduced their estimates of the
amount of gold that wil be secured
through the bond issue, and are not
sanguine that over $30,000,000 gold will
be furnlrfhed by the New Yortc banks.
It Is believed, however, that some gafd
which was hoarded during the panic
by timid capitalists, will be tempted
from the prlvaite hoards by the bond
Issue.
It is estimated by New York bankers
tbit the surbscriDtions will not aggre
gate less than $75,000,000 if the bankers
in other cities’ are experiencing the
pressure of Inquiries that arc pouring
into this city.
ONLY ONE WITHDRAWAL.
Washington. Nov. 22.—The only
withdrawal of gold today from the sub-
treasury at New York, was $50,000, by
Carles Hathaway & Oo., making the
total withdrawals since November 13,
$4,300,000. There are no onger any
doubt Chat the bids for the lew issue
of bonds will gar exceed the amount
to be sold. Indeed, ithe In-dlcitlons ore
that the bids already received - mere
than cover the $50,000,000 and that arge
bids are expected tomorrow fr>m New
York :ind other near-by clti?s will raise
the total to nearly $75,000,000. Accord
ing to the official figures the pr»ce to
be pjald nevt Saturday on per
cent, bonds, so as to realize 3 per cent.,
is $110,000 in addition ta the intcicat
reckoned from November 1 to the date
of payment.

of eighteen miners wfto had gone to
Paine mine on June 10 to induce the
men to quit work w^ho were supped
to be at work, it was proposed to kill
th*dr employer, but that was voted
down.
A second proposition to burn «ho
tripple was unanimously ••arri.'d and

act was ^ttied by Moyers v/.unt *ving
to do the deed. The men then ran
