WAfiftNOTOif, Jan. 11.—The debate on the Likina resolution In the Senate laat Friday when the administration wae accused by several Senators of having entered Into an agreement wil h a ay ndirate to float the expected inane of bonds, lx the subject of a letter written by I’realdentf-Teyeland to Sen ator Caff cry, of lioulaiaua.

My I fear Senator:—I Iiiiye read to-day In the Congressional llei-ord the debate In tha Senate on Friday, concerning the financial situa tion and bond Issues. I am aina/m at the Intolerance that leads even excited partisanship to adopt, a* a haul* of attack, the un founded accusations and assertion* of a maliciously mendacious and sensa tional newspaper. No banker or financier, nor any i.ll.ar lax.re.Mil lioiflif little lift’ll ifivit.fffi to visit Washington for the purpose of srrsuging In any way or manner for the disposition of bonds to meet the present or future needs of tbs gold reserve. No arrangement of any kind has been made for the disposition of such bonds to any syndicate or through the agency of any syndicate. No assurance of such a disposal of X bonds hsa lieen, directly or Indirectly, given to any person. In jednt of fact, a decided b ailing towards a popular loan and advertising for hula has been plainly exhibited on the part of the administration at all times when the subject was under discussion. Those charged with the responsi bility of maintaining our gold reserve, so far as legislation renders It doss I* blc, have anxiously conferred with each other end as occasion permitted With those having knowledge of finan cial affairs and present monetary conditions ax to the heat and most favorable means of selling bonds for gold The unnoial importance of a suc cessful result if the attempt is again wade, ought to be apparent to every American citizen who bestows upon the subject a moment's patriotic thought. Tbe secretary of the treasury from the first moment that tbe neceaslty of another sale of bonds seemed to thi ap proaching, desired lo offer them If is sued to the people by public adver tisement If they could thus be success fully disposed of. After full consider ation he came to tin* conclusion, to which 1 fully agree, that the amount of gold in the reserve, being now (XXl.OOO more than It wax in February lu t, when a sale of bonds was made to a syndicate, and other conditions differing from those then existing, justify us in offering the bond* now about to be issued for sale by popular sohacrip’ 'on. 'i bis Is the entire matter and all those particulars could have been easj Uy obtained by any member of tbe Senate by simple inquiry. if Mr. Morgan or anyone else, reas oning from his own standpoint, brought himself to the belief that tbe government would at length be con strained to again sell bonds to a syn dicate, I suppose he would have a per fect right, if he chose, to take such step, as seemed to him prudent, to put himself in condition to nego tiate. I expect an Issue of IKinds will be advertised for sale to-morrow and that bids will be invited not only for those now allowed by law, but for such otn<T »nu am^renv nunui as inav authorize during the pendency of tlie advertisement. Not having had an opportunity to confer witn you in peraon ainoe the present session of Congress began and noticing your participation in the de bate of last Friday, I have thought it not amiss to put you in possession of tin- facts and information herein con tained.
