IT BELONGS TO US,

+ contemporary, in an article discussing the
sudden rise in confederate bonds recently, makes
! an alluson to the money belonging to the con-
tederate governments account with the Bank
OF England which, for some reason, not
withdrawn upon the collapse of the confederacy.
Our contemporary is not quite correct in its
statements. On the 1st day Of April, 1865, the
confederate government had ,e16000O to its credit
in the Bank of England. When the crash came
the confederate cotton had disappeared, and
although the United States Consul-General at
Liverpool made dilgent search, he could not find
a bale. although he had reliable information that
there were some thousand bales of confederate
cotton in Liverpool a fortnight before. Where
il went, and the manner of its disappearance,
constitutes Of the most interesting chapters
of the unwritten history Of the late Why
the money belonging TO the confederacy was
not withdrawn from the Bank of England at
the time of the crash, is not easy to say. One
of the reasons given is that the officer on whose
check alone ii could be obtained was out of Lon
don i'll. And when he did return it was too late
Three attempts have been made by the Treasury
Department to get this money. The first was in
1867. The American Minister Mr. Reyerdy John
Sou, Was tolu Dy her MajeStgS government
that the money would be turned over to the Uni
ted States executor, but if the American Gov
eminent claimed the assets, it must be response
bic for the liabilities Of the confederacy. This
view of the matter was not entertained by Mr..
Johnson, who advised his Government of the con-
dition upon which the money could be obtained.
Mr.. Boutwell,, while Secretary of the Treasury,
made an attempt to get the coveted e16O,O0O.
Hesent Hon. Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina,
then, now, Solicitor of the Treasury, to Lon
don, to see if some plan could not be devised by
which the Government might obtain this money
without becoming responsible for the liabilities
of the confederacy. But he was as unsuccessful
as Mr.. johnson had been. Since Mr.. Blaine has
been in office he has also caused inquiry to be
made, but without any results. The money will
probably remain in the Bank of England's vaults
until some more vigorous course than any thus
far taken is adOpted.-Neac Orleans Times.

1t is said that four applications for the office
of Governor of Arizona were filed within two DAVIS

General Banks is said to be among the aspirants

In the discussion in the Senate over the con-
sideration of the Sherman resolution, calling for
the report of the Pitney investigation, Senator
Farley made the singular statement that the re-
port was not quite ready. 1t was understood
some months ago, on the authority of Secretary
Window, that the report had been submitted to
him, but at the time he refused to make it
public, giving as his reason that he had ordered
it for his private information alone, and did not
consider it should be made public property.

A SONG OF THE CAKE.

With features heated and red.
With head that throbs and aches,
A woman stands in the kitchen
Turning buck-wheat cakes.
Bake! Bake! Bake!
In autumn, winter, and spring,
And still with a voice of trcmulous quake
She but Of the cake doth sing.
Beat! Beat, Beat!
While the batter is foaning high.
And bake bake bake!
TIL il seems that the man must die
But he-he bears him bravely,
And the woman continues TO bake,
Spreading and lifting and turning,
While the man. he takes the cake.

now prominent member of Congress- for the
collection OF an income tax due from him. aud
which he neglected and refused to pay. The
property was sold In March OF til At year. and
was declared by the collector to be purchased
bJ bim for the United States The law, how
ever, allowed MI. Springer one year after the
safe In which to redeem his property. He neg
lected TO avail himself OF this privilege, and IN
1874 the collector executed deed OF II to the
United States. In 1915 suit was brought In the
I. s. circuit Court at Springfield, to eject Mr..
Springer from the premises. This suit was
there decided against him, and he took il to the

The Chinese Treaty Publication.

"hSI SENA1OhS SAY AbJUT Ii.
The Senate committee on privileges and eiec-
tions held secret meeting this morning, when
the proposed investigation of the publication Of
the Chinese treaty was discussed. No witness ses
were ordered summoned nor has it been
positively determined to make an inve5tiga-
ton. The purpose OF the movement originally
was to ascertain If any Senator had given out
the treaty. There Is no idea, says a Senator, OF
man for publishing the treaty. Nobody biatnes
the newspapers for publishing Information
10 fact very little interest is felt by Senators ia
not think the Chinese treaty worth making a
1uSS over, that there was nothing in 1t neces-
sary to De kept secret and besides the commits
soneIs ss had given al the points Of the treaty
dreadiDg arrest and punishment because OF
their having published the treaty may rest
easy. The investigation is not likely to hurt
aLybody-lr any Investigation shall be at
tempted.

was just coming in from New York. The state
menis made by those On board both vessels are
very clear, ana the accident seems to have been
the result OF mistaken signals. The Gamma
was steaming very slowly, and consequently
could not answer her helm quickly. The Wild
oriDgton appeared to be under pretty good
lead OF steam and was crossing the formers
track heading toward the city. AS soon as this
was perceived the Gamma reversed her engines
under full speed and ported her helm, but be.
fore she could lose her headway she ran into
the Widdrfngton. The Gamma had her stern
twisted and q few bow plates started, but be-
yond this sustained no very serious damage.
The Warrington ran into the gas wharf with
crash that might have been heard half mile
OF. She was found with her bow two or three
yards Into the wharf and apparently sinking
