Circular Drawn Up Containing the Govern
ment's Oher.
WASHINGTON, July "a special meet
ing of the cabinet was held yesterday
for the purpose of clearing up official
business prior to the presidents de-
parture for Cape May. Secretary Blaine
was the only absentee. 1t was decided
to extend the "A per cent, bonds at 2
per cent.
The following circular, extending the
A. per cent. bonds, has been issued
from the treasury department:
In pursuance of tn reservation contained
in the circular of January 2, 1891, whereby
the bonds of the Ala per cent. loan were called
for re iemption on and after September 2.
1891, public notice is hereby given that any
of the bon of the said loan may be pre-
scented Mt this Office on or before Sep ember
q next, for continuance during the pleasure
of the government with interest at the rate
of z per cent per annum. in lieu of their
payment the date above specified.
Bonds presented for continuance should
be accompanied by a request substantially
in the form herewith prescribed, and upon
the SURF nder of the bonds, with such re-
quest, the secretary of the treasury will re-
turn TO the owners registered bonds of the
same loan with the fact that such bonds are
continued during the pleasure of the gov
ernment, with interest at the rate of per
cent per annum stampe upon them, in ac-
cordance with this notice. Upon the receipt
of bonds to be continued as above pro-
vided the interest thereon to September 2,

would be sentenced was not gem
orally known, so that when District
Attorney Graham arose to ask that sem
tence be passed upon the prisoner there
were not more than fifty people in the
court room The district attorney spoke
briefly. He denied Bardsley's conten-
tion, made in his statement to the court
a week ago, that the ex-trcasurer had
not misappropriatcd a dollar. Mr..
Graham showed that by Bardsley's own
statement he must have appropriated
at least 1920, 900, as that amount was
required to be made good by his sure
ties, Mr.. Graham practically admitted
that Bardslcy's declaration that he had
placed S945,O ,OOO in the keystone bank,
taking due bills for the money, was
true, and that the money was deposited
in the bank. Although not able as yet
to specifically show where the money
had gone, Mr.. Graham said that Bards-
ley's cmbezzlements would amount to
between S4O0, 0G0 and S500,000
Mr. Alexander, counsel for BardSley,
reviewed the statements made by his
client and appealed to the court for
mercy on the ground of Bardsley's plea
of guilty and his past services to the
city. Mr. Alexander said that Bards-
ley did not get dollar of the money
he put into the keystone bank, and
that within two months it would be
shown who did. Mr.. Alexander vehe-
mently declared that his client had not
stolen IA dollar. but that he had only
pleaded guilty to the statutory offenscs
of loaning, speculating with and re-
ceiving interest on the public funds.
While his counsel was speaking
Bradsley sat with bowed head, nerv-
ously tracing imaginary lines with the
back of pen upon the table before
him. With the exception of his
brother-in-law, not one of the hundreds
of friends that Bardsley had year ago
were present when he rose to receive
the sentence of the court.
AS Bardsley got up Judge Wilson
motioned him to be seated while he de-
livered the lecture and words of ad-
monition that a judge usually prefaccs
sentence with. Judge Wilson's Sc
we're words caused Bardsley the most
palpab!e distress. When Judge Wilson
spoke of the past friendship between
himself and the man awaiting his
sentence, Bardsley's hands opened and
shut convulsively, and his face flushed
and palcd and his head sank upon his
breast.
The sentence of Judge Wilson was
that Bardsley undergo fifteen years
solitary confinement in the eastern
penitentiary and that he pay fine in
the sum equal to the amount of his en-
bezzlement arising from the transac-
tions to which he pleaded guilty.

Physicians Report That He Is Not Seriously
Suffering.

Physicians Report That He is Not seriously
Suffering.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 3.-Secretary
Blaine, although not feeling so well to-
day as yesterday, took n walk on
Main street and his accustomed ride
from 11:3O until 1870. He is by no
means a well man, but there is no rea-
son why he should not be well or
strong by autumn. Many false rumors
arise from the fact that the public did
not know how sick he was in New
York. Since his sickness there he has
steadily improved. Drawbacks have
not been for more than day or two in
duration.
DIR. Taylor, specialist in nervous
diseases, says his patient eats well,
sleeps we'll, has no organic disorder and
is rapidly recovering his usual health.
He takes no medicine whatever except
simple remedies to regulate digestion.
He has had no trace of the paralytic
affection from which he suffered three
years ago.
The principal benefit the physician
can render the sick man is to encourage
him and tell him what to do. He gets
respondent with himself. His sickness
in New York was the result of over
work combined with la grippe.
Notwithstanding the statements of
his physician and the strenuous denials
of members of his family, many people
here believe Mr. Blaine has broken
down so that he will never again engage
in active life, yet it is evident to every
one that he has improved since his ar
rival her1.
