settlement Of Outstanding Claims
Against the District.

The bill signed by the President yesterday,
providing for the settlement OF all outstanding
claims against the District converts, after the
Court of Claims has adjudicated thereon, out
standing claims into 3.65 bonds and also pro-
vldes for the immedediate conversion of DO ard
OF audit certificates into 3 365 bonds. The bonds
are to be Issued from the date of August 1st,
1874, the date of the issuance OF the board OF
audit certificates. The coupons on the 3.65
bonds issued for the certificates are
to be cut off up to August 1st, 1874
NO money is appropriated to pay the interest on
the bonds after August 1st. 1914. 1t Is therefore
doubtful II immediate conversion OF certificates
into tOndS can be made. The question hinges
on the point whether there is permanent an
nual appropriation for the interest on 3-65 bonds
The Secretary is directed. by law, to pay the
Interest on these bonds and this may cons =
tute permanent annual appropriation. The
question will probably be referred to the law
officers OF the Treasury for decision. Treasurer
Gifillan has not yet seen a certified copy of the
