was the strongest the seamstress went for
help. Mabel then threw herself on bed

INTEREST," ON STATE WAR LOANS.

Opinion OF the Attorney General on the
+ Claim Made by the State OF New York.
The important question whethor the United,
States by act of July %, 1861, entitled IAN act
to indemnify tho states for expenses incurred
by them in defense of the United States"
rendered itself liable for the payment to the
state of New York, which borrowed money to
meet such expenses, of the interest paid by
that state on such borrowed money, was pre-
sented to the department Of Justice by Secre-
tary Folger in a letter dated juno Z, 1882.
Under date of July 90, 1888, the attorney
general rendered his opinion.
After reciting the various acts of congress
hich have been passed on the subject and
referring to the reimbursements that have
already been made to the states for money
expended for the purposes af the act of July
81 1861 and making reference TO the fact that
when moneys expended by states during
the Mexican, Seminole, and Creek wars were
reimbursed no interest expended by such
states was reimbursed until after special
legislature, he concludes as follows:
Undoubtedly, the interest paid by the
state of New York on money borrowed and
applied to the objects specified in the act of
july 27, 1861, forms part of the burden
borne by that state for the general public
defense and constitutes Just charge against
he United States; and the obligation to re-
inbursc for payments of that kind made
under similar circumstances, has frequently
been recognized by congress, as appears by
statute above cited. But to construe the pro-
visions Of that act so as to include such eN-
penditures, would be giving them meaning
much broader than that which has in practice
been given ether legislation of like char
acter and purpose or than seems to be
warranted by any sound rule of interpreta-
tion. When n judgment from the treasury is
claimed under a statute, the Judgment, in
order to be allowed, should appear to be au-
thorized either expressly or by very clear inn
plicatiou. The language of the act under
consideration, viewed with reference to
claims based upon expenditures for interest
does not satisfy that requirement; for, while
no authority to reimburse the states for in
terest paid by them is expressly
conferred thereby, such authority is
not clearly to be implied therefrom
Indeed, the absence of any provision
in the act expressly authorizing reimburse
, ment for interest rather gives rise to the i'm
plcation that such reimbursement was no
meant to be allowed hereunder as in simi
, lar cases reimbursement for interest has gen
orally been made the subject of express au
thorzation where congress intended its allow
ance,
4" am accordingly of the opinion that th
claim Of the state of New York, referred to il
the question submitted, does not come within
t the provisions of the act of July 27, 1861"

AN ENJoYABLE STAG PARTY.

Reception Given by the Younger 20 the
Older Members OF the Potomac Bont
Club distinguished Guests Who Were
Present.
The younger members Of the Potomac Boat
club gave reception to the older members
last night. The affair was strictly stag"
and it is needless to say that 1t was an ap-
proved success. Tho Potomac has been en-
joying boom this season, having takon in
about hundred new members The infusion
of new blood has proved highly beneficial
and, as an evidence of their kindly regard for
the seniors, the young blood resolved two or
three weeks ago upon having good time and
inviting the "old stagoTs" TO participate.
The alair, as has been stated, took the form
of reGyy,ion.
The "younger members" and their invited
guests, to the number of nearly 900, as
sembled at the boat house NJ o'clock, and at
$3.50 departed for q trip up the river. About
thirty per cent. of the boys rowod up in their
boats and the remainder were assigned quar-
ters on n barge which was towed up stream
by q tug.
Among those present were observed the
following: Sam Wheatly, president; Austin
Hcrr, vice president; Oscar Schmidt, secre
tary; G. q. Warden, treasurer; j. ID. Doyle
w. &. Mckinney, first lieutenant; Z. IL. Zap

Assistant Secretary of State Davis.
The marine band and Apollo Glee club ac-
companied the boys and the departure was n
merry one. On passing the Columbia boat
house the Potomacs gave rousing salute the
racket ringing out upon the evening air,
clear and strong, the hills catching tho echo,
and sending it back again and again. The
Columbias responded heartily to the salute.
The party went up to the chain bridge,
where there was display of fireworks, and
after remaining there q time the return trip
was begun. The Potomac's landing was
brilliantly illuminated, and the picturesque
scenery was made doubly brilliant by the
splendid radiance. The scene was inspiring
There was good music, good company, and
good cheer
The landing was reached at 10 O'clock, and
from that hour until midnight the air re
| sounded with laughter and merrment
There were stories, and speeches, and plent,
to eat and drink, with games and music, an,
CAB galore. Altogether the reception wa
an exceedingly l&ely and an exceedingl!
pleasant affair." The boys and their guest
will long remember it with pleasure.
