The 4ate appearing after the printed name on the paper I the date or the KXPIRATION of ubacrlptlon. D1WI BY TMLMm Washington, Feb. 2. Telegraphic advices received here from Europe In dicates the offering lor the now five-er-ccnt. funded loan of the United States to be In excess of tho amount advertised for sale. Part of the loan has been reserved for sale in this coun try. Tho Treasury Department has received numerous applications and letters from National banks showiug a general disposition to exchange firosont securities iu the Treasury for ho new fives. This action is precipi tated bv tho fact that the loan will be open for subscription but for a short, time, and by tho further fact that other issues authorized will bear only four "and fivo and a half per cent, henrafter. There is no likelihood that the Ad mnstratlon will recede from the clvil-scrvlco rules applet! to tho Now York Customhouse, where the pressure for place has been the greatest. Tho prospect seems to be that their opera tions will be extended. All tho mem bers of tho Cabinet are in accord. with tho President's views, and the attitude of Congress toward the measure has ?;reatly changed since the begluit ng of tho season. New York. Feb. 3.
