"There will no serious drain upon our
gold reserve and it will ba Imiwsslblc to
cause the TnMsury department any serious
embarrassment unless there continues to bo
needless apprehension and constant agita
tion of the subject by the newspapers , " said
Secretary Tester today when asked whether
it was true that he intended to
issuu a special scries of bonds to
bo oxclnnsod for pold Thoi bccretary
then went on to say that the Innkers of New
York \olunturily offered to exchange at
least $50 ( XX ) 000 of sold coin for a like sum of
treasury notes , if ncce sirj , to sitisfy the
demand for exiwrt He did not think that
jnoro than half the amount would be neces
sary to turn the Inlance of gold flow to the
credit of the Trcisurv depirttnont , or to tide
over the run of our available gold to a period
% vhen by the laws of trade the balance must
of nccessiu be in fa\orof this government
SecreUri Foster declares that ? there is
not the least danger tint gold will goto'a
premium or that there vill be an embarras
sing clos"ness in the money market He-
fipccting the position of President Harrison
upon the question of an Issue of bonds to
meet the much discussed , but not danger
ous "gold panic , " it c.m be stated upon
authority that ho has from the day ho en
tered the white house , and is now. opposed
to any increase of bond issue Ho w ould of
course prefer an issue of bonds to a financial
disaster but ho has no fe.irs of
nuch n contingency When there was
n panic threatened two or three jears
ago probvbly with a Uew to forcing
nn issue of bonds in the Interest of specu
lators , the president stated most emphatic
ally that ho w.intpd his record clean on that
subject nn 1 that there must be no bonds is
sued , except as a la l resort to sue the com
mercial interests of the country
No panic resulted , and none is feared now
Tlio president has not changed his policj
There will bo no bonds issuc-d and there will
bo no flnanrl.il trouble , unless force is em

Collector Alexander' * Interpretation of the
lurlir Ia Sustained.
A letter was received at the customs office
yesterday from Acting Secretary Spaulding
of the Treasury department , authorizing the
free entry of certain printed sheets which
have been hold for duties by the collector at
Now York. Some months ago the Swcdlsh-
Amtrican Publishing company of this city
began the Importation of Swedish books ,
which , under the _ McKlnloy act , are to be
entered free Later on this companj under
took to handle an issue of 12,000 copies of a
book written by a Swedish-American The
company has facilities for binding , and con
ceived the idea of importing the books un
bound For convenience of packing , etc ,
the octavo folders , of sixteen pages each ,
were packed as sheets
Collector Alexander passed them as books
unbound , though the paragraphs covering
those items are liable to another Interpi ela
tion While books in foreign languages nro
free , printed sheets are dutiable at'Jjpcr
cent ad valoiem The second shipment of
leaves by some Inadvertence was consigned
U a New York agent of the company , and
the importers in Omaha were notified of the
arrival and asked to pay duties amounting
to $000
While not able to act officially in the mat
ter. Collector Alexander interested himself
In it and endeavored to bring the New York
nuthoiities to his way of thinking , so as to
socuio free entry The\ interpreted the law
differently , however , and there the matter
stood Both collectors submitted their argu
ments to tlm department for consideration ,
and Mr Alexander has iccelved notice that
his view had oeen sustained Mr Alexan
der's argument rested uixm three points
First , that the sheets should not bo classi
fied us "printed sheets , " because thej weie
useless alone , and could not bo considered
except as related parts of a whole , second ,
if finished and related parts , which would
bo free if together , thej should bofieo when
detached for convenience of handling and
not for sep irate use third , the object in
separating was to secure the work of bind
ing to American workmen and this was ono
of McIClnley's principles ,
On making the derision the department
states that the sheets are valueless separate ,
being regularly paged and in octavo form ,
and that thei are therefore entitled to bo
returned as books unbound , in a foreign
language and free of duty Tills decision
w ill be of Interest to publishers generally ,
it being the first upon this particular point.

A REUSIOX OF PENSION LAWS
It Was the Oausa of-Much Discussion in the

WASHINOTOV. D C , Fob 10. Ocncral dis
cussion of an annual appropriation bill is
usually a pro formi proceeding. It wns sup-
iwsed , lie c\cr. that when the pension bill
came up in the house today there would be

which , though bristling with statistics and
delivered in his courteous manner , did not
attract close attention.
Mr Grout of Vermont also spofco with
great earnestness asjilnst the propased re
vision of the pension la\\s , but bo also
failed in securing the attention of tbo house
Mr Tarsnej of Missouri w ho is one of tbo
great stump orators of the house , failed to
do himself justice Ho read his speech.
Mr McIClnncy.lio is said to be on tbo
slate" for commissioner of pensions , was
also powerless to secure an attentive audi
ence
Mr O'Nell of Massachusetts was In better
condition In fact a bill uhicb carries more
than $100,000.000 was considered as though it
carried no more than ICO cents.
liiinlld Pciulon Hill.
After the routine business had been dis
posed of the house proceeded , in committee
of the whole ( Mr Wilson of West Virginia
in the chair ) , to the consideration of the In
valid pension appropriation bill.
Mr Mutchlcr in charge of tbo bill stated
that the appropriation recommended was
5100,100,000 It was proposed to amend the
measure so that that amount would bo re
duced to * W.oyO,000 The bill carried about
.OOiiOOO in excess of the amount that
would be expended during the current \oar
Tiiis was the hciricst appropriation bill that
had over come before an American congress
Onlj three j ears in the history of the pox era
merit ere the expenditures for a sinsle j er
preater than would be the expenditures
during the next fiscal jear The committee
on appropriations bad come to the conclu
sion that there would be some re
trenchment , that reform In the prantlng
of pensions must bepin somewhere , and that
the time had come when that reform should
be inaugurated It was not the desire of the
committee to deprho nnj union soldier who
was deserving ol a pension of am pension
that he now received There was nothing in
the bill til it would take a penny fiom any
pension that had been granted to a dcservim *
soldier The committee had recommended
several amendments which It thought would
institute a reform The first ( and bethought
the most Important ) was that providing for
the transfer of the pension bureau from the
interior to the War department The pen
sion bureau could not bo taken out of politics
until it was put where political influence did
not count
Mr Mutchler then proceeded to argue In
supj > ortof the cluinpes in the pension laws
recommended by the committee on appro
priations
Did Not Ilrllo\o In n Chance.
Mr Grout admitted that the amount of
money required for the payment of pensions
was a large one But it must bo remembered
that the bulk of It was for invalid veterans ,
or for widows of men w ho had laid down
their lives for their country He was
opposed to the transfer of the pension
bureau as proposed by the bill He did not
think that such a transfer would tike tbo
bureau out of the domain of politics But ho
did believe that an appropriate amendment
could be framed In that line , w bleb would bo
beneficial to tto pensioner
Mr Tarsnoy , In spenking In favor of the
proposed amendments , said that tbo man
who hazarded his lifo for his country was a
patriot , but that the man who hazarded his
life in war for a government , or In any cause
under contract for his hire , was a hireling
merely , and every obligation of the em
ployer ceased when the stipulated price was
paid In the name of the hundreds of
thousands of patriots who in 1801 and 1SOJ ,
not stopping to inquire what wages would
be paid , impelled only by the love of their
country and a sense of patriotic duty , went
forth and hazarded their llvss that
the government might live , he de
nounced as Impious the doctrine of a
contract relation between them and the
government The 500,000 pensioners now on
the roll did not constitute one-twentieth of
the voting and tax-pajing populatio'iT'of the
country and the otherswho bore the burdens
of the system wcro becoming dissatisfied
and discontented They would not have the
name of one deserving soldier stricken from
the rolls , nor would they have his allowance
reduced one farthing , but thev had a right
to protest against being taxed to support
these who had no claim on the gratitude of
the country
Without concluding the general debate ,
the committee rose and the house took a re
cess the evening session to bo for the con
sideration of private pension bills.

In the senate today on the automatic car

Phcrson , democrat , from New Jersey , who
bad offered a resolution to let the bill pass
In its present shape on the assurance that it
would bo carefully considered in conference
and made as nearly unobjectionable as
possible
The proposal was not accepted , and the
discussion went on Finally the vote was
