JHS JAY Cooke BANKRUPTCY-An Error Of
>l.'cO,NO COrTeCted.-A correspondent of the
Tribune teieRraphs from PhiladeI phia, March
-: IAN important amendment was IN ade this
afternoon TO the JAY Cooke bankruptcy sche-
dulles, by which it appears that the amount of
Northern Pacific Railroad bonds TO be distrib-
uted among the creditors is lessened by about
Sl,joo,OO0 This discrepancy between the former
statement OF the firm and the actual facts seems
To- lie in the filed exhibit, which alleges that for
some 1000 600 advanced to the company in
cash by Jay Cooke x Co., that firm held
S6,l61 400 of bonds collateral, whereas it ia
row discovered that, instead OF holding these
toDds a. collateral, the firm made an ac-
tual purchase of the bonds received by
them at eighty-three per cent. and interest
amounting in the aggregate to only S4,767 800.
Il he sfhdavits of + livestock and Garland throw
little more light on the subject, as tending to
show that the Northern Pacific railroad compa-
ny seems to have been looking into their rights
IN the premises: Harris g. FahnestOck and
James A. Garland, in making affidavit to this
petit'ion for the amendment, say that they be-
lieyed the first schedules were true but they
have sinced learned that the Northern Pacific
railroad company has claimed that jay Cooke
X Co. had taken to their account the unissued
bonds as alleged in the petition, and they are
advised by counsel that the facts connected
with the transactions between the company and
Jay Cooke X Co, and the declarations made by
Jay Cooke x CO., would prevent Jay Cooke *
20; from recovering upon the claims proposed
TO be amended.
