to probable hostilities have been freely
circulated. So far, however, the diplo
matte stage of the controversy has been
hardly opened, and, while the reply OF
the CHILEAN foreign minister to the Amer.

at the State Department that the outrage
on the BaltimOre's sailors was entirely
unjustified, and, while Chilians will be
given full time to investigate, there will

ton, has closed its doors and is in great
trouble.

bank examiner has been at work on the
books of the concern endeavoring &c
learn something of its condition, and the
notice that the concern was closed on
Monday created a sensation.
The bank has been carried down by
the wild speculations of the late Merry
Evans, who committed suicide about
two weeks ago. Persons having intiu-
ence with the bank managed to get good
sized sums for the dashing broker, and
now it is learned he was bankrupt.
1t is said now that instead of there be-
ing a margin in Evans's favor his firm is
over $3.50, 900 in debt, and that a good
part of this and other sums are due to
the Maverick Bank.

A Circular to Pension Attorneys.

The Commissioner of Pensions has is
sued the following circular to attorneys
practicing before the Bureau of Pensions;
"Afidavits and other important papers
filed by many leading attorneys through
out the country are not properly briefed
by them, and as result it is impossible
for the bureau to properly file such docu.
ments withour a search of the records of
the bureau for the purpose of iden-
LITIGATION. This oversight on the
part of practitioners not only in
creases the work of the bureau,
but necessarily delays the ADJUDICATION of
the claims to which papers relate, and
desire to call the attention of the attor-
neys to this fact in order that they may
see that all papers forwarded by them are
so Endorsed that no delay will ensue in
their reaching the proper cases. Many
meritoriOus claims are delayed by the
failure of evidence to reach them, owing
to lack of sufficient data to identify the
claims.

1t is daily becoming more clear that
French financial houses are saddled with
more Russian stocks than they are able
to carry, especially too much of the new
loan, to unload themselves of which they
are taking every quiet method known.
Spanish securities also weigh down the
foreign markets. The negotiations with
the Paris Rothschilds, undertaken by the
Bank Of Spain to secure gold loan, hang
fire, and the gold premium at Madrid
keeps high An uneasy feeling, there
fore, prevails there regarding the outcome
of the approaching Paris settlement.

Some of Jerseys Swamps to Be Dried.
Three powerful hydraulic steam dredg-
ing machines will begin work early next
month on filling in and retaining the
marsh lands back of Atlantic City. The
novel part of the work of the dredging
machine is that the dredgings may be
forced through pipe mile and quar-
ter long to the mainland. There will
thus be saved the expense of towing
barges. The method will be to dredge the
material from the Inlet by means of
a centrifugal pump and force it ashore
through pipes carried on scows or pom
looms. The land where the deposit will
he made will be diked to prevent the de-
oosit from running into the water again.
These machines have done wonderful
work on the California coast, having been
used to reclaim hundreds of acres of land
at San Francisco.
