THE Ala PER CENT. BONDS.
Duo Next September. but Holders Can
Get Their Money Now.

WAsHINGToS CITY, March 27.--The AZ
per cent. loan, of which little more than
$50, 600. 600 is now outstanding, will mature
September next. Treasury officials say
there will be no trouble whatever in meet
ing it, and that it was regarded as matter
of so little concern that it was not thought
necessary to bring it to the attention of
congress. The department stands ready
now to redeem those bonds with interest
to maturity, and the small amount pre-
sented each day is taken as an indication
that holders are in no particular hurry to
dispose of it. A prominent official said
this afternoon that the department would
be able to redeem them all on tho date Of
maturity, if they shall be presented, but
the history of all government loans in
dicates that there is no possibility of such
a thing. and it will be found that a large
amount of these bonds will not be pre-
sented for redemption for many months
after interest has ceased to run.
While the available cash balance in the
treasury is only about $4,000 900, the gov
ernment has about $3o.00O.0 900 additional
on deposit in the national banks, which
can be used in case of necessity.

NEUTRALITY OF BELGIUM.
TO Be Maintained by Great Britain n
the Event Of Continental War.

40 Dc Malntomed by Great Britain In
the Event Of Continental War.
LoNpox, March 27.--TA Associated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. Lord Salisbury, lust
before starting for San Reno, held long
conference with Lord Knutsford and Mr..
Currie of the foreign Office A supreme
dlfhcuity requiring the most delicate
handling was contided to Currie, relating
to the engagements of England to protect
Belgium. King Leopold during his recent
visit pressed for an answer as to what
practical cooperation England would give
under the existing treaty for the defense of
Belgian neutrality in the event of war.
Lord Salisbury, it is reported, promised
English aid by q feet and contingent
troop to defend Antwerp, leaving the
Belgian army free for defensive operations
in the forts Of the Meuse.
Something occurring behind the scenes
OF European diplomacy sharpens the APP
prehension that the final move in the
long game preluding war will not be long
delayed. 1t is reported that an agreement
has been reached between the French and
German governments in regard to stimuli
taneous movements of troops and other
events of war. Heads of European DOW
ers seem to be informed of the Russian
system Of attack, which is likely to declare
itself in the autumn. The question of
Belgian neutrality is ultimately associated
with England's attitude in such conflict,
and will be Salisbury's justification if the
agreement with King Leopold comes up
in parliament.

CarbOlic Acid.

CarbOlic Acid.
j TACOMA, March c7.-[Special. David e.
Sloan, aged p, said to be the son of the
Rev. George Sloan, of Steilacoom, was
l6und dead in bed at the Spokane lodging
house in this city at noon today. Sloan
had been working as laborer with E. c.
Burlingame's street-grading gang, and had
been at the lodging house three days. being
respondent and sick during that time. An
empty one-ounce laudanum bottle found
in his pocket indicated that he had at
tempted suicide before. Yesterday he Sc
cured two ounces of carbolic acid, and last
night swallowed half Of it. Paroxysms Of
Min, following the taking of the acid,
probably caused Sloan to lunge
sidewise out of bed, in which position
he was found, his head resting in .
pool of blood. Some letters and S.. so in
money were among the effects found; also
note to his father. brother and sisters,
bidding them an afiectionate farewell, and
saying life to him was not worth the liv-
ing. The note was signed sd" No in
quest will be held, the remains being held
subject to the order of the deceased's Steil-
accom- relatives.
The Rev. George Sloan, supposed to be
the suicides father, is one of the oldest
clergymen in the state, having established
the pioneer Presbyterian church of the
state at Steilacoom. A couple Of months
ago he circulated the sensational report
about the steamer Olympian sinking with
large number of passengers, legislators
and law-breakcrs. Later he was committed
to the SteiIacoom asylum on the charge of
insanity. He was sentenced by Judge
Beverly, of this. city, and seemed pleased
when told that he was to be taken to the
asylum
