DefauIted In Payment of Interest.
NV telegraph 10 the Dlspatch.l

lbN W ~hN bi0P@e>H't
NEW ORLEANS, February 1.-The state
to-day defauted in the payment OF interest
due on the per cent. bonds, known as the
..babv" bonds. 1t would require about
SlS, 900 to pay the coupons due to-day on
the bonds, most of which are held here.
The fiscal agent explains that owing to the
late decision OF the Supreme Court making
the bonds not only receivable for property
sold for back taxes, but also for costs,
penalties, and interest, little cash is being
received TO the credit Of this fund. While
the settlements of the tax-colectors with
the Auditor and Treasurer during the
present week have amounted to over
$50, 900, only s72 was received ior interest
on the "babyv bonds. Therefore the
S,afe National Bank, the fiscal agency, now
having over $4,000 in unredeemed cou,
pons Of the 'baby" bonds, did not feel
Justified in cashing any more coupons OF
these bonds.

PITTSBURGH. February 1.-Secretary Da-
Wis, OF the State Miners Association, says
that two thirds of the miners in the State
are out of employment. but that the pres
cnt outlook is brighter than for several
months past. In the anthracite districts
not over half the men have work, and mat
ters are in about the same condition in
Clearfeld county. In the Pittsburgh dis
tTct il is estimated that 5000 men are idle.
All the river mines are closed. and many
OF those along the railroads are running
hali-time. In view, however, of the glass
men going to work. and the revival OF the
iron trade. Secretary Davis anticipates in
creased activity in the near future.

FRANKFORT, February AT the begin
ming of the caucus several efforts were
made to drop the lowest candidate after
each ballot. but all were voted down. Hal
lam appealed to Harcourt to withdraw Car
hsle's name. Harcourt refused. Dobbins
was an original Carlisle man, but felt that
he reflected the wishes OF that gentleman
in saying he could not be candidate. But
for the magDanimitv Of Blackburn Carlisle
could not nave been elected Speaker, and
ii WAS but just that Carlisle should not
now be projected into this fight.
Mr.. Hallam followed with similar re-
marks, saying that Mr.. Carlisle could not
be a contestant for this Office, and could
not accept it unless it came to him with
out his seeking. To give the members
time for reflection he moved an adjourn
ment, which was carried by vote OF 6S
10 80.
There is strong feeling that this action
points 10 the nomination of Mr.. Carlisle to-
morrow night.
