settlement, as it has been generally under
stood, that no couponmaturing after July
1st, 1882, should be funded. In other

Bond, holds that all coupons maturing
after July LIST. 1882, can be funded at par
in new three's bearing per cent. inter

MIN RIVER OPEN TO THEWoRLD
Admiral Cpurbet Announces the Com
pletiOn of His Work


PARIS, Sept. 1.-Admiral Courbet an
nounces that he has completed his oper-
ations In the Min river, and that it ia now
safe for merchant vessels to ascend to
Foo Chow.
The merchants of Hamburg, Germany,
who are engaged in trade with China, have
decided to present petition to Prince Bis
marck asking him to use his influence
with France to prevent the blockade of
treaty ports.
A private dispatch from Tein Tsen
says that China is not disheartened in
view of recent occurrences. The gov
ernment has issued an edict encouraging
the troops to fight and warning local au-
thOrities everywhere to protect nOn-com-
Blatant Frenchmen.
The rebels made an attack on Suakin
as usual last night. A mine near the
town exploded when the enemy passed
over it and nine of their number were
killed.
A dispatch from Pekin says: Imperial
edicts and diplomatic circulars recently
issued by the Tsung-li- Y Yarmen indicate a
spirit of defiance as a result of the Foo
Chow disaster. Placards are posted in
the streets proclaiming war with France,
but enjOin the people, under severe penal
ties, not to modest citizens of other ma
tiOns."
Admiral Courbet will receive the deco
ration of the Legion of Honor.
The report that China had formally de-
Glazed war against France is without
foundation. Prime Minister Ferry has
gone to st. Die for a weeks holiday,
which implies that further immediate
complications with China are not likely to
occur.
Admiral Courbet has left the Isle of
Matson and is believed to have gone to
Hainin. Five hundred French troops
have been ordered from Cochin China
to Ke Lung.

has been appointed a special pension

him Prof. Gregory said: ''This son of
mine is in business in Atlanta and has
been for a year or more, having as part
ners a son of the late Senator Hill
and Mr.. White. He is, therefore, a
legal resident there. His examina-
tiOn was made in my absence, and he
stood the highest upon the list
of applicants from Georgia. / did not
know that he had been examined till
saw his name in the list, and had nothing
whatever to do with either his nomination
or his appointment. He has not been un-
der my care or dependent on me in any
way for five years, but has been acting as
his OWE man, and had the same right to
be examined and seek a place as any
other citizen of the country. The Com
missioner of Pensions will tell you that
he was appointed solely on his merit, and
without any intervention of myself or
any other party" Prof. Gregory
added that his son wrote to
know if his application would embarrass
him (his father), and the latter replied
that as the young man was his
own master, he had the same rights as
any other citizen. Commissioner Thomas
said: "Youug Gregory was examined
with three others on his order, and during
Commissioner Gregory's absence, and
that the latter knew nothing about it.''

pease Consul Schamberg.
PITTsBURG, Sept. 1.-The attempt of
Chief of Police Braun some time ago to
compel the Austro- Hungarian Consul,
Herr Schamberg, stationed in this city,
to take down the Austrian flag, because
he regarded it as a violation of the mu-
nicipal ordinance prohibiting obstruc
tiOns, has been taken eOgnizance Ofby the
Austrian Government and the State De-
partm ent of the United States. In a let
ter tC Gov Pattis0n. Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen requests that the Governor
notify the Mayor of Pittsburg that any
proceedings which may have been insti-
tuted by the Chief of Police against
the Consul should be at once dismissed
without any charge to that gentleman,
and at the same time that courteous and
fitting explanation be made to him. The
Secretary Of State says:
American Consuls have precisely the same
rights in Austro- Hungary as are claimed by
Mr.. Schamberg in this instance, and ! have
no doubt but you will coincide with me in
the statement that international courtesy,
no less than treaty obligations, demand that
these rights should be respected by all local
authorities in the United States.
Mayor Fulton says that he was absent
when the differences between Consul
Schamberg and Chief Bruan occurred,
and that he will take no action until he

WAsHINGTQA.%ept. LIN 1859 John
H. Rogers, 81 RHnois, was appointed In
dian AgentSR Utah and Eastern Nebras-
ka. When his accounts were audited at the
end of his term it was found that $14, 900
had been expended by him for which no
satisfactory vouchers could be produced.
He explains that in the winter of 1923
the Indians had been so restless that he
had felt constrained to buy large quanti-
ties of presents for them from local ira
ders. Upon these representations $4,000
of the $4,000 was allowed. Recently
Rogers was So impudent as to
apply for the remaining Sc, 900.
The Indian Office sent man to the old
agent who quietly investigated the mat
ter. He found the men whose names were
given in the vouchers, but learned that
they were never post traders or traders of
any other sort, but always herdsmen and
teamsters at the agency. Not only does
Rogers lose the $4,000 which he wanted
but he will also probably be prosecuted
to recover the $4,000 which he originally
obtained on the fraudulent vouchers.
