PROF. BELLY says this country is to

submit to the deyastations of an Egypt

come after harvest they can Go no ma

WASHINGTON, May 27.-An interest

bonds has been decided by Judge Dur
ham, first comptroller of the currency.
Mr.. Freunit, citizen of Belgium, re-
Gently presented for redemption three
mutilated coupon bonds of 81 600 each,
which he said he had found in Brussels
in 1874. The first comptroller refuses TO
consent to their. redemption on the
ground that tho finder of the notes only
has qualified interest in them, and
simply holds possession of them against
all persons except the rightful owner.
he holds that the finder of the bonds
| acquired no title therein as against the
owner, or the government by which
| they were issued and cannot maintain
an action for their red emption. He
further holds in regard to mutilated
bonds thst they cannot be redeemed,
unless the trearury department is. salts
fed that the parts presented are all that
remains of the bonds;or, in other words,
that the introduced parts must be sat.

on such starvation salaries is, however, re-
moved by the remark dropped by an Eastern
manager. Says that long headed person.

The Chicago papers of yesterday contained
numerous paragraphs urging citizens to vote
'for city election law" and particularly
charging them to be careful that their ballots
did not read, 'for the city election law or
sfor the new city election law" as the use of
either or both these words "the" or new
would invalidate the ballot so far as that re-
form was concerned. Just such preposterous
rulings as that kill the spirit of law and Grip
pie its enforcement.
