Continuation of Hond * .
WASHINGTON , August 1. The books
of the 4A per cent loan , kept in the
office of the register of the treasury ,
will not be closed during the month
of August for the preparation of the
September schedule as has been the
custom heretofore. This change is
caused by the fact that the schedules
will not be required for the final divi
dend of l.j per cent on the loan , as the
last interest on the bonds being re
deemed for continuation at 2 per cent
will be prepaid to September 2 , 1891 ,
while the interest on bonds not con
tinued will cease on that day and be
paid only when bonds are presented
for redemption.
The redemption of 4A per cent bonds
will not begin until September 2.1891 ,
the date of the maturity. Up to date
about : ? ! 1,000,000 of these bonds have
been continued at 2 per cent. The
comptroller of the currency has issued
the following circular to national banks
in regard to this loan :
Sir : Your attention is respectfully
caik-d to the circular of July 2 , 1891 ,
issued by tlie scretary of the treasury
authorizing tenders of 4A per cent
bonds to present them for continuance
at 2 per cent. This option will expire
on September 2. 1891 , after which day
any of said bonds outstanding and not
continued by request of the holder ,
will cease to bear interest by virtue of
the call for redemption issued June 2 ,
1891 , rendering them unavailable as
security for circulation after that date.
It will be absolutely neces.-ary. there
fore , as far as minimum deposit bonds
are concerned , for national banks hav
ing 4 ] pei- cent bonds on deposit as
security for circulation to first secure
the continuance of these bonds , or second
end to deposit other United States in
terest bearing bonds in their place.
Banks desiring to continue their
bonus should perfect the papers which
have already been sent from this de
partment and forward them , accompa
nied by tile treasurer's duplicate re
ceipts representing tiie bonus , to the
office of the secretary of the treasury.
Banics desiring to substitute other
bonds or return their circulating notes ,
should apply to the comptroller of the
currency for the necessary banks.
Your attention is also called to the
fact that under the act of July 14 ,
1870 , the last bond issued thereunder
must bo first called , and that is , there
fore , to be obtained by early applica
tion for the continuance of these bonds ,
as the new bonds will be issued in the
order of receipt of perfected papers.
Very respectfully ,
F. S. LACEV , Comptroller.
Columbian Cclolirntifiti in Italy.
WASHINGTON , August 1. The fourth
centennial of the discovery of America
is to be celebrated at Genoa , the birth
place of Columbus , with many festivi
ties. Letters just received by the
Latin-American department of the
world's fair describes the attractions
proposed and confirm the information
that there will beheld in Gene in 1892
an Italian exposition to which the kinir
of Italy has consented to give his
patronage and for which he allows the
use of his name as honorary president.
The programme announced includes
the following features : 1. A new op
era. 2. Monuments will be erected
and unvciied uuring the year in mem
ory of Garibaldi and of the late duke
of Caiiiera , the nob.email who planned
Fort Fine , the new harbor of Genoa ,
and who gave the sum of $1,000,000
toward the construction of the new
breakwater which protects the port.
3. A Columbian museum will be estab
lished in the old Hunart port of San
Andrea which the father of Columbus
bought in 1157 and in which the great
navigator is supposed to have passed
his early youth.
Inoculated Chincli Ititjr * .
MADISON , Wis. . August 1. Experi
ments have been made in Dane county
with the inoculated chinch bugs from
Kansas , lleports have been received
from the operations on the farm of
Frank Sink in College Grove. A box
of dead bugs was brought to the city
which were picked up near a single
stalk of wheat on Mr. Sink's farm.
The inoculated bugs were placed in the
field on July 8 and the insects are dy
ing by the million , but so late that
although the experiment has proved
to be a great success , the wheat was so
far gone before the inoculated bugs
were put in that but little of it can be
saved. The infected bugs were
brought from Kansas and the belief is
held by those interested in the experi
ment that it is a sure success if tried
early in the season. The box of bugs
was scooped up at the base of a wheat
stalk , and although it is but a small
sized capsule box , it contains hundreds
of these dead insects.
Competition lor a. I'ostoflicc I'lacc.
WASHINGTON , July 81 , The first
competitive examination for a promo
tion in the postotfice department under
the postmaster general's order took
place today. There are twenty-three
candidates at salaries from $720 to
$900 who take the examination for the
promotion to a $1,000 clerKship , there
being one vacancy in that office. The
greater portion of the candidates were ,
women. The postmaster general was
present this morning at the examina
tion and made a brief address , in which
he spoke encouragingly of the pros
pects opened up to the employes of the
department by the new departure of
today. He gave the assurance that
hereafter advancement in the depart
ment would depend solely upon the
results of the examinations and their
olfice records. Hitherto , he said , a
person that obtained a place in the
department landed at the foot of the
staircase and stayed there until strong
backing and "powerful influence" '
pushed him upwards. The postmas
ter general described the operation of
that state of affairs and assured his
hearers that it should no more prevail.
Follow Tliclr Father' * Status.
PIEKKE , S. D. , July 31. Considera
ble commotion has been aroused by the
decision of the United States court in
regard to the status of children born
of Indian women and white citizen hus
bands. The case was that of the United
States vs. Ward on the charge of sell
ing liquor to half-breeds. Tb.e evi
dence was that the half-breed in ques
tion had a negro father , who was a cit
izen , and an Indian mother. The
decision of the court is that
the children follow the status of
their father and hence are citizens
of the United States and amenable to
its laws. If the decision holds good
it will atTect the ownership of the
greatest part of the lands taken up in
the vicinity of Fort Pierre and Stanley ,
across the river from Pierre , as it is
nearly all held by squuw men's chil
dren or their wives.
The department officials at Wash
ington have always held to the con
trary and the allotting agents are now
at work performing their duty under
instructions to give all people of In
dian blood a preference for lands under
the allotment law.
Humored Cabinet dilutees.
Sr. PAUL , Minn. , August 1. A spe
cial to the Dispatch from Washington
says : It is understood that when the
senate meets next December the pres
ident will send to that body nomina
tions of the three cabinet officers to
fill the vacancies caused by the resig
nation of the secretary of war , the
secretary of the interior and the attor
ney general. The gentlemen now hold
ing these portfolios will have retired
before December. Each ollicer will
leave the cabinet with the kindest feel
ings for the president and will have
the esteem of the chief magis
trate. The retirement will be vol
untary in each casu and due
solely to the desire of the
retiring officer to place himself in a
position to avail himself of other hon
ors. The secretary of war will re
sign to take a seat in the senate made
vacant by the resignation of Senator
Edmunds. The secretary of the in
terior will resign to accept a judge-
ship. The attorney general will re
sign for the same purpose. The ten
ure of the office for judge is for life
at a salary of $6,000 per year. The
successors of the office are problem
atical. It is thought , however , that
Land Commissioner Carter will be sec
retary of the interior. Ex-Governor
Cheney of New Hampshire will be
secretary of war and Solicitor General
Taft of Ohio will be attorney general.
The Wizard Will Slave to Put Up.
MILWAUKEE , Wis. , July 30. Kos-
well Miller , president of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad , ar
rived in the city yesterday. He wore
a larger smile than usual and it could
plainly be seen that he felt consider
ably elated over the important decis
ion rendered in Omaha covering the
great bridge fight between the Hock
Island and the Union Pacific roads.
Mr. Miller is generally a very hard
man to interview , but Judge .Brewer's
decision has evidently softened his
heart , for a correspondent had no diffi
culty in getting him to talk of the new
celebrated case.
The tenor of Mr. Miller's talk gave
evidence that Jay Gould will be called
upon to pay heavy damages to the St.
Paul road for his arbitrary action in
depriving the company of the use of
the bridge after it had a valid contract
to use the structure.
In speaking of the decision of Jus
tice Brewer , Mr. Miller said : "The de
cision handed down Monday in the
llock Island case is virtually a decision
in our own suit , as the two companies
had exactly the same grievances and
sued in the same court and on the same
points. \ hile the decision as tele
graphed spealcs of the Rock Island only ,
it means the Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
Paul suit as well , as it covers it. I
presume the Union Pacific will appeal
the case as a matter of form , but that
will do the other side no good as it has
no foundation whatever on which to
base its claims. Yes , we expect to
carry out the idea of the original con
tract as soon as the order of the court is
formally made and we will then run
trains to and from Omaha over the
Union Pacific bridge between that city
and Council Bluffs. No , we have not
figured out yet what our damages
amount to per day for each day that
we were prevented from crossing the
bridge after the contract was in effect.1
It was learned from another source
that President Miller will soon order
the solicitor of the St. Paul road to
begin suit for heavy damages against
the Union Pacific company. As the St.
Paul people had a strong contract with
the Gould road they will have little
difficulty in collecting a large sum. It
is understood that the St. Paul road
will ask $10,000 a day damages.
p Ireland Call * on niorcan.
WASHINGTON , July 31 Archbishop
Ireland of St. Paul called upon the
commissioner of Indian affairs and had
an interview with him touching the
recent action of the commissioner in
deciding to make contracts for educat
ing Indian children in Catholic schools
instead of through the bureau of Cath
olic Indian missions. The commis
sioner desires the statement made that
he has received an absolute and satis
factory assurance that no part of the
money received by the bureau of Cath
olic Indian missions from the govern
ment for the education of Indian chil
dren was used for the expenses of the
bureau , but that the entire amount so
received has been paid to and used by
the schools for which it was intended.
Fourteen men were drowned at Es
sen. Germany , by the capsizing of a
boat.

has disregarded the pied ires of its II
party with regard to civil bervice re I !
form and a reduction of taxes incident
to the tariff. The civil service of the
United States as a whole today , it de
clares , is a partisan organization doing
political service for the administration
by which it is employed.
President Harrison and the republi

The republican party , through tft * .
agency of the speaimr , had deprived
democratic representative of their
rightful seats and sought to perpetualo
its power and destroy the a : tonumy of
the several states by means of the no
torious force bill. The uemo ditie
