! WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Acting Secre-
tary Nettleton has written letter to ex-
Representative C. H. Brogden of Goldsboro.
| n. c., in response TO certain inquiries in
regard to the conduct of public affairs
under the last and present administrations
| To the question, ibid President Cleveland
| or his Secretary of the Treasury let banks
have the use of deposits of public money
| belonging to the government without iu-
| terestW Mr.. Nettleton says that the treasury
| department has no authority TO loan public
moneys with or without interest, ana that
as a matter Of fact, no interest has been re-
ceived for deposits made with banks, bn
that during the last administration public
deposits with national bank depositaries
were increased from the surplus revenues
from about $50, 900, 900 to about $62, 900, 900,
which deposits bore no interest and were
fully secured by United States bonds. De-
posits, however, have SINCE been withdrawn
from time to time until at present the en-
tire amount on deposit with national bank
depositaries is only about $4,000 900, in
Guiding nearly $4000,00 to the credit Of
United States disbursing officers.
The question as to whether President
Cleveland ever borrowed gold 10 England

the United States has not for many years
found it necessary TO borrow money either
at home or abroad TO pay interest on its in

chases and redemptions Of United States
bonds during the last aud present admins

were purchased at cost of 1861 ,264, 642,
and that their cost at maturity would have
been 1894, 097, $50, making a savings OF
S92, 1872, 538. During the period from March

In the history of Savannah has there been a
time when SO many of the conditions were pres
ent TO favor purchasers of real estate.
There has been no imitation Of prices. Money
is plentiful here and at the (other) important
financial points.
The loan companies and hnanciers are seek
ing borrowers
The several railroad projects. which have been
held in suspense on account of stringent money,
are rapidly Undertaking., and all focused
on Savannah as their objective point.
Deep water is assured and the good effects Of
its assurance will be developed this winter and
spring.
The disastrous "slumps' in stocks and bonds
is fast emptying the funds OF investors into the
laps of real estate brokers.
The fact that the cotton and naval stores men
will take less money than ever will force lenders
to seek real estate operators for borrowers, and
willencourage real estate operations.
The influx of population this fall and spring
will be greater than Savannah has ever ex.
perenced.
The demand for houses for rent and for sale
will be unprecedented. There is demand now
that cannot be met.
My representations of the real estate fore
cast in the past have "been the making" OF
many who have forgotten to rise and call me
blessed, but am still ready and anxious to help
Others get home, and will be satisfied with my

One of the most unfortunate African
princes in history is William Lucas
formerly OF Alexandria, Va, recently of T.
K. Burk's show and at present in Jail at
New Brunswick, N. J. He lapsed into bar
barism Monday forenoon during a street
procession, provoked by the prosecutions of
a gang of small boys. The cannlbalistic in
stincts Of his native Jungle revived within
him. He sprang toward his tormentors
seized one terrified Youngster and bit him in
the arm. Then he caught and bit another
boy and then little girl. A mad dog could
not have stampeded the crowd more quickly
or efTectually.
The prince was a conspicuous figure in
the procession. He was half naked, law
ishly adorned in feathers and paint and
skins Of wild beasts, bearing some general
resemblance to his picture in the show bills.
He affected vacuous indifference toward
his civilized surroundings. His face was
gloomy, sphinx-like, mysterious.
"Hlw shouted one small boy, "look at de
cannibal! Look at de cannibal, will you'll"
The prince scowled viciously and made a
threatening gesture.
OF course. the small boys, encouraged by
this resentment, rallied in force. They
Ruyed the prince numerically. They made
all sorts OF impertlnent inquiries and suR-
gestions, very provoking to one Of royal
blood. Their imprudence grew and their
enjoyment increased in proportion to the
princes discontinue. The music OF the
band was drowned in the shouting Of the
ra6ble. Finally the boys began throwing
stones and sticks. The prince lodged some

A Settlement to Be Attempted at an

WASHINGTON, Aug. u.-Minister Egan
has definitely agreed with the Chilean gov
eminent upon convention for the settle
ment OF all uuadjusted claims of citizens of
the United States against Chile by means
Of a claims commission to meet In Washing

icles satisfactory termination Of the ne
Rotiation which has been pending
for long time. No general
claims convention has ever been
contaminated with Chile and the claims of
American citizens date back for more than
half century, though the greater portion
Of them have their origin In the Chilean
