Boston. Mass, March 27.-The

points in New England voicing the
sentiment OF the farmers on the pro-
posed alliance movement in the east
ern states. A dispatch from Pittsfeld
says: 1T is the sentiment OF the lead
ing Berkshire county farmers that the
New England tour of the alliance lead
ers, Kyle and Simpson, will be a prac-
teal failure"

Four and "a Half Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Al
per cent loan, OF which little more
than $50, 600, 900 is now outstanding.
will mature September next. Treas
ury officials say there will be no trou-
BILE whatever in meeting it, and that it
was regarded as u matter OF so little
concern that it was not thought neces-
sary to bring it to the attention of con-
gress. The department stands ready
now to redeem these bonds with inter-
est to maturity, and the small amount
presented each day is taken us an indi-
cation that the holders are in no par
ticular hurry to dispose of it. A prom
lnent official said that the department
will be able to redeem them all on the
date OF maturity if they shall be pre-
sented. but the history OF all govern
ment loans indicates that there is no
possibility Of sucn thing. and that it
will be found that a. large amount OF
these bonds will not be presented for
redemption for many months after the
interest has ceased to run. While the
available cash balance in the treasury
is now only about $l3, 900, 900. the gov.
eminent has about $50 900, 900 addi-
tional on deposit in National banks
which can be used in case of necessity

The World. Fair sight Fight.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Many of
the worlds fair stockholders living on
the west side are determined to open
the site question again. They are out
soliciting proxies and concentrating
them in the hands OF men known to be
in favor OF the dual site. The election
OF any considerable number of direc'-
ors pledged to the lake front would
mean another attempt to get the down
town site. There can be no doubt that
the west division stockholders will get
larger representation on the board
OF directors than they now have, but
that they will be able to bring the site
question up again is not probable, as
the north and south divisions will GER
lalniy be strong enough to defeat any
attempt that might be made.

Sugar I'm RODd.

NEW YORK, April Huge quanti-
ties of refined sugar now in bond under
the Mckinley bill or bound to various
distributing points throughout the
country are unique in the history of
the trade. To prevent If possible q
scarcity Of sugar at one distributing
point and relieve as much as possible
the refineries and warehouses in their
vicinity, the pNvilege allowed by tho
government OF transporting the sugar
in bonded cars and from thence to
bonded warehouses in cities to which
the sugar has been sold and consigned.
is being pretty generally taken advan-
tage OF by the refining companies of
this city. Up to the present time fully
70, 600 barrels OF refined sugar have
been shipped from this city OF which
amount by far the greater portion has
been consigned to Chicago and St.
Louis. The amount OF sugar refined
daily in Philadelphia reiineries, all of
which are refining under bond. is over
ten thousand barrels, OF which num-
Der z. 500 barrels daily are being loaded
in bonded cars and shipped. The re-
mainder are stored in reilneries and
warehouses in that city for local dis
tribution. 1t is estimated that by April
l the product OF Philadelphia refine
ries refined in bond will have reached
nearly il not quite two hundred thous-
and barrels or about sixty-seven mill

sugar. The number OF pounds OF raw
sugar now being consumed daily in the

Two Dollar Counterfeit.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The secret
service officers declare the 81 silver
certificate most dangerous one. The
vignette of Hancock is as fine as the
original. and the lettering and lathe
work is an exact copy ofihe treasury
note. In fact the only difference is too
minute to be visible to the naked eve.
In the upper left hand and lower right
hand corners of the genuine note is a
figure ''2" and on its face is engraved.

Ineligible except under magnifying
glass, the word 1.-TWO" and repeated
twice. In the counterfeit the word
1.-TWO" is similarly engraved the same
number OF times, but in two cases the
counterfeiter has made the letters read
''owt." The discovery of the counter
felt is not new thing. Attention was
called to it some time ago. but the un.
known counterfeiters watch the secret
service bulletins closely. When the
discrepancy was discovered in the note
bearing the check letter '.A'' and the
signature of &c. N, Jordan, " the coun-
terfeiters changed The check letter to
''B" and the name to that OF Treasurer
Hyatt.
The entire circulation of the genuine
note may have TO be called in.

This will be but the preliminary stcp
and an adverse decision is as certain to
be appealed to the supreme court of
the United States by the petitioner as
a favorable decision to him would be
by the government. But in any event
the case is not likely to reach the court
OF last resort until the October term.
and then in all probability it will have
to take its regular course. which will
delay the final decicision for several
years. In the meantime there is not
the slightest chance that the secretary
OF the treasury will consent TO accept
any silver for coinage except that
which MAY be purchased in the regular
business of the department.

farmers have become so expert of late

Samuel Cosler. an old farmer of Beaver
Creek township. Greene county, can be
believed. MIR, Cosler arrived in Xenia,
eighteen miles from this city looking
for gang of lightning rod swindlers,
who came to see him Friday. Mr.. Co.'S
Ter says that they induced him to sign
paper, of which he did not even
know the contents. He is now salts
hed, however, that it was u note for
several hundred dollars. lie claims
that he was induced to sign the note
while under some strange mesmeric or
hypnotic influence, and declares
that he will make this defense against
the payment of the note if it
turns up for collection in any ones
haLds. Cosler says the men came to
his place and commenced to talk with
him about having lightning rods put
on his house and barns. The men
talked good while, and soon strange
feeling came over him. He was awake
and conscious. but seemed as one
dreaming. He appeared to have lost
all will of his own. The sharpers then
brought out paper they directed him
to sign. He felt that he ought not to
DO it. but could not resist the ..hypno-
tic suggestion" given by the men to
sign. He did not even know the con-
tents of what he was signing The men
left soon afterward, and shortly after
they were gone Mr.. Cosler experienced
a sensation such as one feels after his
foot awakens after being asleep" He
took the first opportunity to come to
town and warn the people against
taking any note signed by him.

CHICAGO. March 2S.-Dr. w. G..
Gentry of this city has secured in a
novel way what he thinks is undoubt-
edly microbe of la grippe. The doc
tor has been studying the peculiar in
huenza since its appearance over a
ear ago. He found that thirty-four
years ago and again sixteen years ago
la grippe was epidemic among human
beings, and that seventeen years ago
1t attacked horses, causing the we'll
remembered ''epizootic' epidemic.
DIR. Gentry was inclined to believe
that the earth at intervals passed
through a stretch of space impregnat-
ed with what astronomers call ,.star
dust Several days ago it occurred
to him that he might trap some of the
DUST or microbes. Carefully polishing
blank microscope slide he took it out
doors and passed it through the air
Placing the slide under the microscope
he counted seven heretofore unidenti.
he'd microbes. He had the slide
mounted and then, obtaining some
mucus from a patient afflicted with la
grippe, he found in it microbes iden-
teal in every respect with those
caught in the air. The microbes as

IT has long been known that there
are few among the medical colleges of
this country whose diplomas are recog-
uized in Europe, although many Ameri-

there are striking defects in our sys-
tenn OF medical education which would
not be tolerated under any other gov
eminent in the world. Among them
are the lack of stringent requirements

in hospital facilities for students, the
shortness of the time spent in actual
preparation, and the insufficiency of
