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. The
knowledge that euch a letter had been
add l eaned to Mr. Lalfery was obtained
leal night, and the letter wae made
public by the latter. It la In the hand

six pages of closely written nots

Executive Mansion, Washington, If.
( ,, ,lun. f», lenfl. 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. Your* very truly,

we*t'm Nebraska in the way of irri

some facta pertaining to government
land. At the United Males land office
in this city Anal proof* were made dur
ing the year Just p*»t for r>*.*00 acres
of government lend. The records show
74A.OOO acres iu this land district that
are vacant, subject lo homestead entry
Ud In thia (Lincoln/ county there are
240,000 acres of reonnt government
land, or l,42A farms of 140 acre* each to
be given by the government upon pay
ment of from III to 81* per quarter
section and residence on the lend for
flee years Much of thin la better and
more productive, if Irrigated, than the
valley laud* along the rivers. It raises
sweeter and better keeping vegetables
of all kind*, finer fruit and la eleaner
and easier lo farm tl«an any of the val
ley landa
No person should think of trying to
make a living for a family upon these
lands, however, unless he has a atifll- *
cient amount of push, perseversneeand
money to construct a small Irrigation
plant as soon as he estahliahe* resi

required for a good well, windmill and
reservoir sufficient to water from five to
forty acre* is from 8200 to 8400, and
ten acre* of such laud, properly water

more in money value than nine-tenth#
of the farmers in any southern etete

Nkw Yokx, Jan. ft—In response 14
tlia World'* telegram for tbelr view*
on the bond Issue, th* Rothschild* re
plied us follows:
••hast year whaa there wa* a finan
cial crisis in th* United Mtatcs, w*
made an offer for a J par cent gold
loan, and falling, Congress giving th*
treasury no power to enable such an
issue to l»* made, wc undertook with
others to place a certain amount ot ♦
per cant coin bond* A* you now have
don# ua the honor of asking our opin
ion. we must tell you very frankly
that in our Judgment the scrara finan
cial situation at present is ohlafly
caused by tha political crisis, and
as soon as tlia American and Knglish
governments have satisfactorily aetl lad
the question* at issue th* financial
strain will he considerably relaxed, If
ft dues not altogether disappear.
IJntil this boundary question la ar
ranged w# do not believe either th*
European public or capitalists will
take many American bonds for invest
. meat. If any, and we believe that al
i though a certain number of people on
this side of the Atlantic have signified
, their Intention of taking a share in a
syndicate to lie formed in New York,
they have only done so In the belief
i that at the present moment they
( would obtuln terms which would en
t able them at once to resell the bond*
, In America. When the political
t hori/.on Is quite clear and it is
1 finally established in the minds
i of all men that the good feeling
and understanding which exists in the
heart* of the people of Knglaud and
America is beyond doubt, and is ac
knowledged and ratified by the two
1 governments, then will be the time
and opportunity for America to apply
. to the British capitalist*. We offer no
suggestions how tiiis is to be accom
plished. It is for the government* to
* decide between themselves. AH w#
can say la the good feeling exists
f among our people on our side, aud
l you, sir, have proved by your patriotic
f elf or Is, that HsxUta on the other aide
. of the Atlantic.
