The BIDS were Opened.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The bids for
tue $50,000,090 bond issue recently Of
ierred by Secretary Carlisle were opened
at the treasury department little before
l o'clock today. At 4 O'Clock it was
stated at the department that hurried
calculation showed the total number Of
bids was 296, aggregating $l54, $40, 900.
The largest bids were those by the SYM
dicate of the Uuited States Trust Com
pany. Drexel, Morgan & Co. and others,
at III OFT for the whole amount or none,
and $5O,OO0,OO0 at 116,s9S, for all or
portion. The first of these was the best
bid offered, as the aggregate on the honds
above this figure were about $40 324 100,
leaving about $39 675, $50 at less figure.
1t, therefore, seems quite probable that
the syndicate bid will be accepted, all
though Secretary Carlisle stated that he
could not express an opinion as to the
result until next Monday, when the
awards will be made. According to the
terms of this bid the government will
paw 9 1878 per cent interest on the $780,
600, 1000, as against 8 per cent carried by
the first issue. There is possibility that
close calculation will disclose the fact
that there Is sufficient number of bids
at better rate than this, winch. with
the second syndicate bid at $l16 1913, or
2 500 per cent, may make a combination
slightly more advantageous to the gov
ernment than the other, although this ls
very improbable. Altogether the result
of the bid is eminently satisfactory 10 the
treasury officials, as 1t shows that not
only was there a brisk rivalry for the
bonds, but the rate of interest demanded
was even lower than was generally ex-
pected.
The call for these bids was made by
circulars from the treasury department,
November 13, last, aud was for new
bond issue of $5O.0O0,O 900 United States
per cent bonds TO bear the date of No.
vember 1, 1894, and redeemaole in coin
at the pleasure of the government after 10
years from the date OF issue.

The UnfortuDate Kontmore.

Early yesterday morning word came up
from the cape that the four.masted ship
RentniOre had dragged her anchor and gone
onto the sands about 1000 yards east of
Sand Islands. The Escort had already gone
down to the bar, and as soon as the news
was received Of the Kentmores difficulty, the
Relief hurried TO the scene. 1t seems that
early in the morning heavy gale from the
south sprung mp, and soon the ship began
to drag her anchor. The second anchor
was cast, but it did not prevent the huge
vessel from gong slowly onto the spit.
Both tugs soon had hawsers to the ship, but
they were unable to move her from tne soft
mud into which she had become firmly inn
bedded. They pulled and hauled until q
hawser snapped, when they gave 1t up, the
tide having started to ebb. It was the
opinion of all who were on the spot that she
was in no immediate danger. and that about
the only thing left to do was to await calmer
weather when the ship could be lightened.
During the afternoon the steamer Htraco
landed the Fort Candy life saying crew on
Sand Island, and it was arranged that If at
any time during the night the ship should
need tug, rockets would be fired as q sig
nal. The Point Adams crew were over
during the afternoon. but returned to their
station before nightfall.
Both Captain Mccoy and Captain Howes
of the tugs, say that there is but little dan
ger of the Kentmore sustaining any damage,
unless an unusual gale should drift her onto
the hard sands, thing that is altogether
unlikely.

SOME GREAT COMPOSERS.

MEYERDEER could sing popular melo-
dies at two years of age, at seven he
was an accomplished pianist, and at
nine was considered the best performer
in Berlin.
BELLIN1 was the son of an organist
in Catania, in Sicily, and began his
musical career by playing on the
organ while held in the arms of his
father.
DERLIoZ, the composer of many ma
jcstic works, never learned to play any
instrument save the guitar, and that so
badly that no one would willingly
listen to him.
SPoIIR always declared that he owed
his knowledge of composition and
harmony to the study of Mozart
scores, who, in turn, admitted his obi
cations to Bach.
MOZART was small and slight. His
face was very thin and pale, and his
nose, always prominent, became much
more so from the extreme cmaciation
of his later years.
HAYDN was fond of initiating animal
sounds in his symphonies. In these
compositions will be found limitations
of the cat, horse, cow, cuckoo, grass
hopper and donkey.

FARMS ACROSS THE SEAS.

ATTEMPTS to cultivate potatoes in
the Eilgiri hills, India, from imported
English seed have been only partially
successful, on account Of the deteriora-
tion of the seed before it reached its
final destination.
OVER 4 million acres of coffee land
were sold during last year in the single
state of Vera Cruz, Mexico. The pur-
chascrs were of various nationalities,
including Americans, Englishmen,
Germans, Frcnchmcn and Delgians.
TIE coffee plantations of Coorg,
India, have been invaded by borcrs,
which threaten great damage. There
are two varieties of the coffee borers,

equally destructive in the larval stage.
TROUT culture has been successfully
undertaken in South Africa, the eggs

NEARLY onc-fourth of the arrests in
