Uncertainty n to the Rate ut which the
Loan VIII BE Extended.

"
Uncertainty n to the Rate at which the
Loan Will Be Extended.
At the conference between the President and
Secretary Foster in regard to the extension of
the AZ per cent loan, as stated in The STAR
yesterday, no conclusion was reached and the
subject will be considered at the cabinet meet
ing today. There is great conflict of opinion
as to the future action Of the Treasury Depart
ment with respect to this loan, but it is under
stood that Secretary Foster favors its extension
at per cent. he said yesterday afternoon
that such course would raise the credit Of the
government and at the same time enable the
national banks to increase their circulation--a
thing greatly needed after the recent heavy
shipments of gold. He said also. however,
that there were SO many arguments in favor of
an extension at lower rate Of interest that he
really did not know but it might finally be
concluded to fix the rate at per cent
A statement prepared at the Treasury De-
partment shows that the Az per cent bonds
held by the national banks are geographically
distributed as follows:
New England states, 50, 743. $50; middle states,
$685., 400; southern states. S3,447 800, and
western states, Sl3, 754, 9O0 total, $40 67l $50.
This shows that the western banks, which
are said to favor the 1 per cent rate. hold
more than one-half of the entire amounh owned
by the national banks and more than the banks
Of the New England and middle states COM
bined.
The strongest point in favor Of the per
cent rate is the agreement of the eastern bank
ers to purchase the entire outstanding loan of
S53, 100000 at that rate. while the western
bankers, known to favor the / per cent rate,
have SO far spoken only with respect to the
bonds now held by them.

AN ARREST OF JUDGMENT.

Opinion OF the Court in General Term IN
the Case of Frederick Barber.
In the Court in General Term today Judge
James delivered the opinion Of the court in the
case OF Frederick Barber, eolored, convicted Of
murder. sustaining the motion in arrest Of
Judgment Barber was charged with causing
the death OF Agnes Watson on June %. 1855,
and it WAS alleged that they had some words.
when he left the house and abe followed him on
the banks Of the canal in Georgetown. when he
threw her overheard and she drowned Bar
Der claimed that she fell in the canal. He was
indicted for murder and Messrs. d. Z. Cahill
and A. W. Ferguson defended him. and on No
vember Z, 1883, he was convicted. The
counsel at once fled . motion for new trial
which was denied, and a motion in arrest of
Judgment claiming that the indictment charg-
ing that Agnes Watson was then and there
mortaliy drowned" was not suficient TO war
rant conviction Of murder and that il should
have distinctly charged that she then and there
died. The case went up to the General Term
and then before the chief justice and Judges
James: Montgomery and Bradley. Judge James
said that the chief Justice and Judge
Montgomery twho tried the easel agreed with
him in the conclusions that the law requires
in an indictment for murder that the death
must be set out clearly, and that while from
the words used, .'mortally drowned" death
could be inferred, it was not for the court to
infer, and death must be clearly charged.
According TO decisions read in this indict-
ment Agnes Watson's death is not alleged.
The words in the concluding paragraph. that
defendant did, by the means aforesaid. Kill and
murder, do not cover the defect in the aver
ment in the preceding charge. The order
would be that the motion in arrest is sustained
and the cause remanded.
Judge Bradley dissented, stating that the
charge Of murder WAS plainly enough made.

San Francisco. June 9.-The Examiner pub
fishes sensational letter from its correspond
ent at Acapulco, in which he says that in an in
terview with Silva Palma, the captain of the
Esmeralda, the latter told him that the Esmer-
aida met the Itata at point 100 miles south Of
Manzanilla, Mexico.
They were about to put coal on board the
Esmeralda when the steam launch which had
been sent north as a lookout signaled that a
pursuer was in sight. Instantly the Itata was
ordered to fly, and she sailed away at the top
Of her speed. The pursuer was the Charles
ton, and the Esmeralda prepared to meet
her. The meeting occurred off the har-
Dor of Acapulco at about o'clock in the
morning. The Esmeralda had her
search light playing over the sea and shed it
full upon the United States cruiser as she
steamed down upon her. The result was that
the Charleston beat to quarters and put every
man at the guns. The Esmeralda was equally
prepared and her decks were sanded for action.
Capt Palma says if pistol shot had been fired
on either side 1t would have been the signal for
instant engagement
Capt. Palma says he tried to buy coal and
provisions from the Mexicans. but they refused
to sell him anything. He at length told the
authorities that if he did not get coal to get
outside he would fight in the harbor. 1t is
small and land locked, and the fight would
have destroyed the town. After this threat he
was allowed the needed coal.

POLICEMEN AS sTABLEMEN.
Demands of the Situation Produced by TIL
London Bus Drivers Strike.

Demands OF the SITUATION Produced by the
London Bus Drivers Strike.
LONDON, June 9.-There was little change in
the situation of the strike here this morning
Very few road cars were running. The COM
panies says that they have received 400 appli-
cations from men who are DESTROYS OF filling
places made vacant by the strike Of the drivers
and conductors. The companies, however,
have engaged none of these men,
their object in declining to employ the appli-
cants being to give the strikers time to reconsider
their position and return to work. In order to
prevent the horses from suffering through
their being few stablemen to care for them a
number of policemen have been detailed to as
sist the companies in feeding and in other ways
taking care of the horses. At Hornsey one
hundred Of the men employed about the
stables have abandoned the strike and gone
back to their work.
The position of the strike Of the employees of
the omnibus companies is to all intents and
purposes unchanged. The Road Car Company
day and the General Omnibus Companv's
vehicles are at complete standstill. The
result naturally. is that the pirate
or ''scab' omnibuses are reaping q
harvest OF fares. The pirates" it should be
added, are plying with the consent of the
omnibus employees union. and in addition sew
eral minor omnibus lines have been permitted
to start their vehicles. having conceded the
hours Of work and other terms asked for by the
men.
Many OF the owners Of the pirate buses
have sent agents into the provinces in order to
bring into the city as many omnibuses as
possible.
In consequence of the enforced idleness of
the London omnibuses the horse car lines are
besieged with people and find themselves I'M
able to carry one-quGrter OF those travelling
upon the tram cars.
The strikers now show signs Of alarm at the
great increase IN the number Of pirate"
buses and are discussing the advisability Of
limiting the number of these vehicles which
the union will allow 20 ply for passe myers with
the idea Of putting the public to as much in
convenience AS possible with the view. the
strikers claim. of bringing the public to sup
port the strikers.
Strong squads of police are protecting all the
omnibus companies yards, which. as usual in
all strikes. are surrounded by crowds OF Ioafers
in addition to the pickets stationed there by
the strikers. The latter keep their temper
admirably and appear to be sanguine of ulti-
mate
