filed in the Treasury Department, showing
that forty miles of the second division of the
Kansas Road has been completed, and appli-

that the bonds are all in their possession,
and ask that the bonds be issued to them,
and not to the Kansas & Leavenworth party.
The Secretary has all the papers and docu-
ments ready to be submitted, and will rem
der his decision in few days.
