ATLANTA, March 22.-The following is
part of a sensational interview with Jas.
L. Harm, of Jacksonville, Fla, in the Star

don's removal to Florida. He says:
cit is a common theme of gossip in
jacksonville that he is likely to run for
Senator at the end of Senator Call's term.
Senator Jones is not as popular in Florida
as he might be. The manner Of his elec-
ton has had much to do with this feeling.
You know when he was elected he was
member of the State Senate, and the vote
was a tie. He had not voted, but when the
tie occurred he said: Il cast my vote for
Jones' He is literally a self-made Sena-

CHANGES IN THE POSTAL LAW.
When the Postal Notes are Likely to be
Ready.

A special dispatch from Washington
says: DR.. Macdonald, Superintendent
| of the Money Order System, is making
active preparations to carry into eff
feet the new law providing for the
issue of postal notes for fractional
amounts less than So, and also reducing
the fees on money orders and increasing
to 500 the limit OF single postal money
order. There will 10 no difficulty in put
ting the last two provisions into operation
on July l. In regard to the postal notes
superintendent Macdonald to-day said to
correspondent: "We shall push matters as
rapidly as practicable, but great many
details are to be arranged and probably
the new notes will not be ready for the
public until the beginning of September,
Ii the new note shall be issued on Septem-
Der /, one month will remain before the
law reducing letter postage to two cents
Will become operative. In that month
publishers, merchants, ETC., who habitu
ally receive hundreds of thousands of
postage stamps each month, will probably
receive postal notes instead and be able to
reduce thelr stock OF three-cent stamps on
hand"
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen
said to-day that he anticipated material
railing OH OF the revenue from sales of
stamps and stamped envelopes in the
next six months. Orders for sreturn',
stamped envelopes, he said, have already
begun to diminish. The matter of re-
deemlng the unused three-cent stamps.

has not yet been maturely considered. II
is quite probable that, as a matter of pre-
caution, the department may decline to
receive single stamps or any number less
than say five, and it may be required that
these shall be presented attached to each
otheF as IN the original sheets. Several
designs for the new twO-cent stamp have
been received, but the one to be used has
not yet been chosen. Some of the designs
are very attractive. Each one contains
an engraved head of Washington. To
avoid confusion some other color than
green will probably be selected.
The officers of the department have re-
Gently been trying to devise an enyeloDe
which, while not too costly, will be strong
enough to resist the abrasion and tearing
caused by coin. The ordinary envelope
tears too easily, and it is a frequent oc-
currenee to ind in the bottom of a pouch
containing registered packages a quanti-
ty OF loose coin, which has forced its wav
through the envelopes. 'tOf course we
could make suitable cloth-liued envel-
ope," said General Hazen, Vbut it would
be pretty expensive, In England such
envelopes are used, and the sender of a
registered letter is compelled to buy one.
They cost or cents each. If we should
adopt that practice, l should expect a
pretty general and loud complaint

The Difficulty Between Mr.. seligman

PAilndfzphin RnlIst.

Philadelphia BaJIstia.
Mr.. Washington Seligman is the son of
one Of the well known New York bankers
of that name, and is himself member of a
highly respected Stock Exchange firm in
New street, New York city. Baron
Bleichroeder is the SON of the government
banker at Berlin. The senior Bleichroeder
is also a special partner in a leading
banking and stock commission house in
Exchange Place, and IL is in connection
with this business that the son is now on
visit 10 this country. At the Purim

black hair and a good-natured expression.
The Baron's intimate and closest friends
state that he simply touched Mr.. Seligman
upon the arm and said politeIys ss ssIiwould

as you are at leisure.9 u
). IL - esefzResl zby MS friends that the
Baron had overheard Mr.. Seligman make
rather openly some disparaging remarks
in reference to the abilities and courage
of young gentlemen who hail from Father
land, and he desired an interview with
Mr.. Seligman on the subject. The Baron
was soon afterward joined by Mr.. Selig-
man, who is alleged to have called him ga
Dutch loafer," asserting that the Baron
had insulted him and the lady with whom
he had been pr0menading ny addressing
him in an offensive manner while in her
company. The account of what followed is
thus given by the Baron's friends: The
Baron said little, but promised to send a
friend to call upon Mr.. Seligman the fol-
lowing morning. Mr.. Seligman was at
the place of business of his firm early the
next morning. He was soon ioined there
by two friends of the Baron, who pre-
sented him with a communication from
that gentleman. They asked the honor of
a visit from friend or two of Mr.. Selig-
man, in order that the necessary arrange
ments might be made. Two friends acting
for Mr.. Seligman called upon the Baron's
friends and endeavored to effect a peace
full settlement, but at first without a
favorable result. In case meeting was
agreed upon pistols were accepted by Mr..
Seligman's friends as the weapons to be
used. Further correspondence, however,
led to better understanding, and on
Saturday Mr.. Seligman accompanied his
two friends, who made call upon Baron
BleichrOeder. The latter was present
with the two gentlemen who had acted for
him, and in the presence of these four
gentlemen Mr.. Seligman withdrew his OBJ
Jectlonable remarks and apOlOgiZed to the
Baron for the words used.
MIR. Washington Seligman, when seen by
reporter last evening in his rooms at No.
~ w. Twenty-fourth street, declined to
talk about the affair at all until he had an
opportunity of consulting some of his

How an Alabama Bank Will OutIive a
BoOk-Keeper's PeculatiOns.
MONTGOMERY, March 22.-The directors
of the Merchants and Planters Bank
have been working ON the books of Mr..
Ray, the late bOok-keeper. When the eX-
animation was made by Mr.. Curtis, the
National Bank Examiner, the deficit
was said TO be $4,000. 1t is now
ascertained to be fully 100000. The
bank will meet the loss by using
$50. 900 of the reserve and accumulation,
and by reducing the stock $4,000. These
amounts will Obviate any demand on the
stockholders for additional payments. Mr..
Rays bondsmen will pay $4,000. Specu-
lation in cotton futures, cards, ETC., was
the cause of the deficit. The bank has
sufficient money to meet all demands upon
it. No run has been made on it, and there
is no sign of one.
