WASHINGTON, A11g.2"—Stc.etary Fos-
ter is giving close attention to financial
matters in connection with his pl: 111 to‘ éifi
tend the 4% per cent. bonds at 2 per cent
after Sept. 1. There are $51, 000. 0110 of these
bonds, of which a fraction 11. as th 11: $.30,
000, 000 have been presented to the txe usury
department for extensiion.
The balance in the treasury today is
$55,000,000 not including the $100,,_000
gold reserve, so no doubt is expressed, if
no more 4% per cent. bonds are presented
for extension, that there will be ample
funds to redeem the $31, 000,000 4% pet
cents outstanding.
The matter, however, excites much' in
terest in treasury department circles,‘ :1 til
it is freely stated that Scoletary Fostel
will visit New York next week to coufel
further with bankers and others on the
subject.

A Threat to the Vatican.

dinals to prepare accurate statistics of the .
relative strength of the political parties in

the number of citizens opposed to. the
monarchy. The news of this order having
been issued has caused a sensation in
Rome, and has increased the friction be-
tween the quirinal and the Vatican.

are well educated.
