TO PAY AS FAB AS THE MONEY GOES.
It is learned at the treasury department
that although the circular in regard to the
prepayment of bonds, embraced in the
120th cal, provides only for prepayment of
bonds to- the amount of $5,000,000 on
Wednesday next, the bonds which may be
offered in excess of that amount will be &C
cepted, provided the department has, as it
now expects to have, surplus funds which
may be used for that purpose. AS interest
| on these bonds is allowed only to the date
of redemption, the government would save
on interest charges in proportion to the
amount of bonds redeemed.
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN.
There is q curious bit of gossip in con-
nection with the Washington Republican
newspaper. Brady bought the Republican
in November, 1880, more to assist Gorham
nd fo,s 9th
They were Immediately placed in charge,
and conducted the paper as they pleased.
They opposed Garfield and stood by Con-
king. This probably hastened Brady's
removal from the postofice department,
but he did not grumble, although ne was
spending money fast 80 support the paper.
When Arthur became president Brady
thought there would be stop to what he
believed to be persecution but, instead of
letting up,Arthur pitched IN with addition
al hostility. Then Brady sent for Cor
ham and Kilbourne, and told them he was
tired of publishing an organ for an ad-
! miristration that was trying to send him
to the penitentiary, and notified them that
they must buy or turn the paper into an
out-and-oUt anti-administration paper.
Kilbourne and Gorham would not consent
to oppose the administration, believing
tLey were pets of Arthur's, and being ex-
pectant of plums and crumbs from the
public table. Then they set to work to
purchase the paper. They went to the
president and stated the situation. The
president sent for Patton, and, after con-
sultation, Patton returned to New York and
saw the friends he had been referred to, and
pool was made up, and the sum demanded
by Brady was paid for the paper. Kill
bourne expected the stock to be transferred
to him, but instead it went into the hands
of others, and Kilbourne was ultimately
frozen out. Gorham was put on half ra-
tions, and Hatton and Chandler were
brought into the management, and now
the paper is run in this way: Half of the
force of editors and reporters are on paid
salaries in one or the other departments
of the government. OF these the Hon.
Frank Hatton, assistant postmaster gener-
al furnishes the brains,and also invites all
the postmasters of the country to subscribe
to the daily and weekly editions.
NO SPY SYSTEM TO BE ENTERED INTO.
There is the best authority for the state
ment that no correspondence whatever has
passed between this government and the
government of Great Britain, with regard
to a system of International police or to a
reciprocal watch to be kept in each country,
upon criminals or enemies of the other.
GERMANY's CONTRIBUTIONS.
The president to-day received from
Brasch 4 Rothenstein, bankers of Berlin,
Germany, an additional contribution of
1890 marks, for the benefit of sufferers
from the floods IN the west. OF this
amount, 500 marks were contributed by
the emperor and empress OF Germany.
The funds were turned over TO the Ameri-
can association OF the Red Cross for dis
tribution. The total amount of these con-
tributions from citizens of Germany thus
transmitted through Brasch IL Rothen-
stein is $500 marks.
NO OBJECTIONS.
The secretary of state has authorized
Minister West to say to the Canadian au-
thorities that this government has no OBJ
lection to such changes of Canadian Gus
toms regulations, as will admit of importa-
tion of bonded whisky into Canada from
the United States in packages of less than
100 gallons. 1t now remains for the Can
adian parliament to decide whether such
q modification of THAR ra0uIa tions shall ha
