WASHINGTON, June 3.ANotice has
been given by Secretary Foster that
the principal and accrued interest ON
the AZ per cent bonds issued under the
acts of July IA, 1870, and January 20.
1871. as may be outstanding Septem-
Der 2, 1891, will be paid at the treas
ury of the United States in the city of
Washington, ID. c., on that day and
that the interest on said bonds will
then cease. Suggestions have been
made on the part of the holders of
these bonds of desire to extend the
payments thereof at the option of the
United States at the rate of and Ia
per cent per annum and the secretary
OF the treasury will hereafter consider
whether the acceptance of such offers
OF them will be profitable to the gov
ernment and in that event reserves
the right to exempt such bonds from
this call. 1t is officially stated that
the suggestions as to the ex-
tension of the AZ per cent loan
added to the call made today is made
more as matter of precedence than
of necessity. The treasury depart
ment it is said. is abundantly able to
pay all OF the $51, 900, 900 A. per cents
outstanding, but in view of the uncer-
tainty OF future receipts and expendi-
lures it is judged better to take the
side OF safety. The secretary not only
believes that he has ample means to
defray all expenses of the government,
but is confident that he will be able to
retire any considerable amount OF the
public debt in addition to the 1896, :
900, 600 already paid during the pres
ent administration. One of the pur-
poses in suggesting an opportunity to
extend the maturing loan ut a nominal
rate of interest is the desire to avoid
the enforced retirement OF part OF all
of the $23, 600, 900 national bank cir
culation now secured by Al per cent

WATERFOWL, S. d., June 4.-Tues-
day afternoon about $3.50 small. dark.
funnel-shaped cloud suddenly appeared
in the south, and soon developed into
hurricane. 1t appeared close to the
ground, and in its whirling motion peo-
pie soon saw that it was the dreaded
cyclone. The roar which accompanied
1T was like hugh swapping and crack
ling, sucking up in its onward course
everything that came in its path.
Fortunately it struck the city on the
extreme eastern line, where the build
ings were scattered, and the whole city
is thankful that it came no nearer.
Six barns were demolished. The
path OF the storm was only about one
hundred feet wide and it was miracu-
lous that not n single house within the
city limits was in its way. Horses were
lifted from the ground, hurled into the
air and sent sprawling TO the earth.
Wagons were taken up bodily and
broken to atoms.

houses and two barns were literally

its line for nearly n mile.
At Wavery, twelve miles northeast,
two coal sheds were ruined and brick

dler and his son were in one of the
barns when the storm struck it and
they were pinned under the boards.
They were only slightly injured.
Three people were killed at Hazel.
sixteen miles south OF here, and the
storm Is said to have been very severe
in that vicinity. No other fatalities
have yet been heard Of A heavy rain

no damage.
This is Watertown's first experience

were greatly frightened. The damage

MIdglcy Draws The Line.

CHICAGO, Dune ). Chairman Midg-
ley OF the western freight association
has issued notice calculated to nut a
stop to the manipulation OF rates on
packing house products from western
points to the seaboard. He saws the
western roads have been vulnerable in
one point-the maintenance of the en-
gagement whereby the Indiana, ILL
nols and Iowa lines have allowed a
per centage OF the revenue accruing
east OF the Missouri river to the Chi
cago rate point. This was contrary to
the principle stoutly asserted on all
other traffic interchange with the east
ern roads. As the eastern lines show
little disposition to cooperate in cor
recting the matter, Midgley has de-
clded that the western roads must cor
rect the error themselves. He gives
notice to the interested lines that this
must be done.

IT is unquestlonably true that the
child who shows any marked talent Ito
use word frequently abused) for any
particular form of useful occupation is
rare exception to the general rule.
but is not true that the careful study
OF boys temperament furnishes no
suggestion of value for his rearing and
training with view to his success in
life. The chief benefit OF suoh study
on the part of conscientious parents,
guardians or teachers consists, per-
haps, more in lettering them from
persistency in forcing child into a
wrong channel than in aiding their
selection of the right one.

WASHINGTON, June 8. The navy
department received information last
night OF the peaceful surrender OF the
Gillian insurgent steamer ltata al
1quique. This information was con-
tanned in dispatch from Acting Rear
Admiral Mccain. received by Secreta-
ry Tracy several hours after the regu-
lar time OF closing the department.
The dispatch came in cipher and II
took about two hours to translate it.
and even then there were several in
stances in which its contents had not
been fully interpreted. In effect the
dispatch stated that the Itata had ar
rived at Iquique last night and was
placed at the disposal OF Admiral Nc
Cam this morning. She had on board
the dispatch says, 5000 rifles and am
munition taken from the Robert and
Minnie in the port of San Diego. Cal.
She had no other munitions of war
than those belonging TO the ship and
had transferred nothing to the Esmer-
elda, with whom she communicated off
Acapulco. After communicating with
this insurgent cruiser she went direct
to Tocopilla.
Admiral McCann says also that the
cruiser Charleston arrived at Iquique
today and tho Pensacola was expected
before nightfall. The 1tata will now
be sent back TO San Diego probably
under cover of one of the cruisers OF
the admiral's squadron. as soon ms she
can coal and prepare for the return
trip. She will be delivered to the
United States officers at San Diego and
the proceedings against her for the
violation of the neutrality laws will be
resumed at the point where they were
interrupted by the departure of the
steamship, and the responsible parties
Will, If they appear also be called on
TO answer the additional charge of con-
tempt Of court in running away while
under injunction.
Secretary Tracy gave to an Asso-
ciated press reporter tonight the chain
OF circumstances that has led TO the
Pc"Celul SURRENDER 10 Jne United States
Of the ship. He said that the desire
for surrender came from the leaders
OF the lnsurgent party at lQuique and
were made through Admiral Mccain.
Inc offer was communicated to the
office at Washington and were in due
time accepted by this government
without however. implying any re-
cognition on the part n the insurgents
as beligerents. The proposition was
put in the hands OF the Charleston,
which was ut Acapulco replenishing
her coal supply. As soon rs the offer
was accepted telegram authorizing
him to cease the chase was sent to
Captain Remy Of Charleston. bat the
steamer had already sailed when the
telegram reached Acapulco. ami the
captain. unaware OF the turn affairs
had taken, proceeded on his search
for the escaped vessel. The fact OF
the acceptance OF the offers to surrender
the ltata on her arrival in Gillian
waters was therefore communicated to
Admiral Mccain, who was therefore
prepared to receive the ltata on her
arrival Secretary Tracy said that
the ltata would be sent up the coast to
San Diego to answer the charges
against her in court.
