ST.. LOUIS. July 30.-Notwithstanding
the assertion made during the week by the
Saloon-keepers' Protective Association
that all the saloons would be kept open in
defiance Of the Sunday law, it appears that
about one-half Of them were closed yester-
day. The police report that 1900 violated
the law. They include saloons, beer gar
dens, livery stables. breweries, liquor
stores, barber shops, theaters, street rail-
roads, express companies, newspapers and
little shops. No arrests were made. All
the ~violators observed by the police have
been reported to the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, who will Immediately proceed against
/ them in the Court Of Criminal Correction.
It 10 said in police circles that arrests will
be made next Sunday. It is asserted that
q strong combination is formed to resist
the law, and seven prominent attorneys
are engaged to carry the test cases up to
the United States Supreme Court. 1t is
| estimated that 40, 900 barrels Of beer are
| consumed evsry Sunday in st. Louis,
which, with the whisky and wines, proba-
bly, makes an aggregate cost to consumers
Of over SEQ, 900.
Holders of Confederate Bonds.
CHICAGO, July 30.-A special London
cable says that q syndicate of the holders
Of Confederate bonds has been formed to
press their payment, and they have out
lined . campaign which contemplates a
financial pressure on the Southern States
by attempting to close the Europen money
markets to Southern enterprise. A syndicate
has been for a long time in correspondence
with prominent men in the South, all Of
whom, without exception, agreed that
some compensation should be effected at 9
low figure. The syndicate also entertain
the same sentiments Of hopes of assistance
on the part of the United States Govern
ment. They have . project OF getting the
Southern States to petition the United
| States Government to transfer to the bond
holders the unappropriated balance OF the
Alabama award and OF the large amount OF
money received from cotton seizures in the
| South during the war. 1t is thought by
them that $40, 1000, 900 are lying idle in the
Treasury at Washington. This would be
$13, 900, 900 or $14.0 00, 900, or about one
| third OF the amount they would be satisfied
| Confederate debt is said to be S400, 000, 900,
held mostly in Europe. How much of this
the syndicate will be able TO recover re-
mains to be seen. At any rate the syndi-
cate. if successful, will reap . vast reward
for their outlay.
