The PURCHASE OE BONDS.

WASHINGTON, April 4-The action Of
Secretary Window today in rejecting
large offerings of AZ per cent bonds at
1885, 1881 and 1885 is regarded at the
treasury department as indicating his pur-
pose Of not paying over 108 for these bonds,
for the present at least. When asked
this afternoon why he had not accepted
any of today's offerings the secretary re-
piled: 1.-The rate is too high" and declined
to say anything more on the subject. A
prominent official of the department,
however, said today that it was strange
there were SO few offerings of per cents,
as there was no good reason for supposing
the secretary would not buy bonds of that
loan provided they were offered at reason
able rates.
The last offer of per cents was at 1884.
1t was rejected, the official said, because it
was above the prevailing market rates and
not necessarily because the secretary does
not wish to apply any of the surplus to
payment of that particular loan, as has
been conjectured.

Saturday only to have their sports inter-
rupted sgain by rain. There WAS every
promise OF a day of fine sport until the
rain about o'clock ruined the track for
any more speedy contests. Despite these
drawbacks, the 400 people who attended
were much pleased with the three races
which were finished, particularly the
running race, which had large held OF
good starters. The 800 GLASS was the
most interesting trot of the day on
account of the difficulty to pick the win
ner. II took five heats to decide the
race. In the 2.40 class, Fannie led the
entire way in every heat and always
came under the wire under strong pull.
She trotted her three heats without once
breaking. The first heat in the 2.S5
GLASS was procession from beginning to
end and was hardly interesting. Ellie
Hardy won both heats in the running
race handily by several lengths, but the
other horses were well up. The balance
of the race meet was abandoned. DR..

Constable.
Special correspondence OF Gazette and Journa
ELKroN, June 1.-THE first primaries

Ia defeat for the last named In the first

The most interesting contest OF the day
was in the Third or Elkton district,
where the friends Of State Senator Clin-
ton Mccullough, friend of Senator Cor
man and of ex-United States Senator
Groome, were pitted against the friends
of John 8. Writ. The contest was sharp,
and there were several exciting scenes at
the polls when voters were challenged.
A heavy rain prevailed for some time
while the polls were opened, interfering
considerably with the vote. Notwith-
standing this 512 votes were polled. Con
siderable money was spent, nearly Alto
gsther by the German men, and whisky
was given to voters. The purchassables
| were paid almost openly. Probably four
or Eve hundred dollars were expended,
votes bringing from SO to 81. The
result was as follows:
Constable Writ ticket--Register of
Wills Il. 4. lamar, $50; ex-Sheriff Morris
Dunbar. 277; Samuel j. Keys, 276; David

1856; John Kennedy, 23i; Thomas Dren-
men, 23l; Harry Garrett, 232; John Nc
Cauley, 233.
Average majority for the Constable
Writ ticket 45 votes. The names of the
three candidates for sheriff were pre-
scented IN the tickets. James A. Lewis re.
eeiyed 2I6, William I. Lee 1866 and James
p. Merritt 1873. In the First or Cecilton
district the contest was between friends
of Mr.. Constable. The ticket backed by
Thomas Pearoe for house of delegates was
successful over one for James p. Mccoy
for the same position. Three hundred
yotes we're polled and the majority was
1902. In the Second district the delegates
are friends Of MIR. Constable and Mr..
Writ. In the Fourth district friends OF
Mr.. Constable were elected. They will
support Heister Hess for state senate, II
he can make the nomination. In the
Fifth, friends of MIR. Writ were elected
The Sixth has not been heard from. A
delegation faVoring James T. Graham fol
