BOUNTIES FOR VETERANS.

Michigan WIN Distribute Over Million Dol
lars Among Her Old Soldiers.
LANSING, MICHIGAN. March pa good many
Michigan soldiers received war bounties from
the state. good many others did not. Sew
eral legislatures have talked in a des-
ultory way about equalizing the thing
and paying all the veterans NOR
ally entitled to bounties. 1t remained
for the present legislature to set about the
matter in earnest. communication was re-
Gently sent to Attorney General Ellis asking if
in his opinion the state could now issue more
bonds for the purpose Of paying bounties.
The attorney general replies that the state
can still issue bonds to the amount Of 1864, 900,
that amount of the total issue of bonds author
lied in war times having never been issued, and
In addition the state can devote to the payment
of bounties the 5000 which it will
soon receive from the general government as
its share of the direct tax levied during tho
war and now about to be refunded. This
COARSE will probably be adopted and over 81,
OOO, 900 be distributed among the veterans who
volunteered early in the war and received moth
ing from the state, while those enlisting in
1854 were paid liberal bounties.

Overdose of Choral.

Mr.. Fl. II. Steele, who was taken to Provi-
dence Hospital last night in a comatose condi-
ton from an overdose Of choral. died at 10 80
o'clock this morning at the hospital and the
body YVES removed to the morgue.
The deceased. it has been ascertained. having
been refused by DR.. Cobb. went TO another
store and SO insisted that the poison was for
experimental purposes that il was given 10 him
and he returned to the Ashton.
As stated above he was well known through
out the District and had the reputation Of be-
ing an excellent canvasser The family
formerly lived in the neighbor-
hood of Rockville and removed to Georgetown
many years ago. The deceased was educated
in the Georgetown schools and at Georgetown
College. He was possessed of some literary
ability and for time Immediately after the war

be was a genial companion, and but for his
drinking habits he would have made his mark
in the world. He was about forty-five years OF
age and has brother and some other relatives
in the District.
While the circumstances connected with his
death point to suicide it is the belief of many
that being addicted to drink and the choral
habit he accidentally took an overdose

THAT CHINESE CONCESSION STORY.
The Latest Version of 1t Denied at the
Chinese Legation.

The Latest Version of 1t Denied at the
Chinese Legation.
1t may be that some of these days the Oft
repeated story Of great concessions to be made
by the Chinese government TO American CAPT.
talists for the purpose of founding system of
national banks in the Howery kingdom will
come to be regarded as snothe
one Of the evidences of immortality.
That story will not die. The Chi
nese government has killed it, as far an Of
fetal denial can do it, the Chinese legislation in
this city has officiated at its interment more
times than few but it viii be not be laid. This
time it has made its temperance for its Gus
tomary little ghost dance in rather round
about way.
The legation hes just been advised by the
consu! at San Francisco that a Chinese paper in
that city had published Especial telegram from
Chicago to the effect that a duly accredited
attache Of the Chinese legation was there for
the purpose of interesting Chicago capt.
talists in this great banking. railroad
and telegraph scheme, in which the Chinese
are to do all the giving and the Americans all
the making. STAR reporter was told by one
of the attaches of the legation this afternoon
that this unknown was, in all probability, no
other than Mr.. Tu Yen Ku, one Of the
secretaries, who recently resigned to go
Francisco on his way thither has not yet been
received here and the presumption is that he
has stopped at Chicago and is being used to
forward the scheme. This belief is strength
ened by the fact that he was known to be in
communication, before he left this city,
with the man who was the origi-
nal promoter and presumably the sole
beneficiary Of the scheme. The members Of
the legation are extremely wroth to think that
they should in any way be brought in to sup
port scheme that they have SO often done
their best to explode. Mr.. Tu is not a repre-
sentative of this legation nor has he any ere
dentials, )" said one Of the attaches to the re-
porter.
"He has resigned and surrendered all con-
nection with the Chinese government. But it
is easy to see who is at the bottom of all this.
Mr.. Tn can only speak very few words of
English. so do not see how he can interest any
one very much. He is simply being made
tool Of in order that some one else may catch
the suckers.
1T is certainly to be hoped that none will
get caught. This scheme has not the sanction
of my government at all. Years ago the idea
Of making the concession involved in 1t was
abandoned and has never been revived.
There are going to be no concessions,
valuable or otherwise, to any one for the pur-
pose of organizing a national banking system
in China, together with the control of all the
railroads and telegraph Lines in the country.
The whole story is false in every particular"

CHICAGO, March 26.-There was a general
liquidation in wheat this morning in anticipa-
ton of better weather tomorrow and conse-
quently lower prices A decline of over
cent in both May and July was noted
May opened firm at S1.038, ad-
vanced Is, but as everybody was trying to sell
out the price soon declined to 102h. By IL
O'Clock it had advanced H from this. The
range in the fluctuations of the July option
closely followed that of May.
The most excitement was in corn, which. up
to IL O'Clock. declined over three cents for
both options. This easing up in
prices was caused by the large num-
Der Of selling orders. Oats partook of
the decline, falling of about two cents in
the same time. In provisions, which opened
slightly lower than yesterday closing, there was
a drop in prices, followed later by an advance,
which brought things up to about the opening
figure.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Because Of the grip,
which prevails to an alarming extent here, the
death rate is increasing. and the undertakers
