Dogged From Liverpool to London by Il
Customs Officer, Who Watches Him
Closely at All Times-In Roths-
child's Vault.

Considerable interest is evinced in to-
morrow's shipment of $30,O0O,0O0 1 per
cent bonds, per steamer Paris, for delivery
to members of the Morgan Belmont syndi-
cate in London, but, as told in yesterday $
Star, the details of the transaction will
be withheld from the pubic for the pres
ent.
There is not the same difficulty In get
ting information concerning former ship
ments of bonds to foreign countries. Mr..
J. X. Upton, formerly assistant secretary
of the treasury, and now assistant super
intendent of the life-saving service, is
thoroughly cOnversant with the history of
government loans, and has taken a lead
ing part in the placing OF them abroad.
THE government sold none of its bonds
issued during the war to parties outside
of the country" said Mr.. Upton to a Star
reporter today. They were all taken by
our own people, but in time large portion
of them found their way ITO Europe
Through the ordinary commercial channels.
The question of the bonds being payable
in coin being settled by the act of March
IS, 1862 the credit of the country rapidly
improved, and in July, 1870, congress au-
thorized the issue of per cent bonds at
not less than par in coin, the proceeds to
be applied to the payment of like number
of q per cents, on which the government
had an option of redemption.

MIR. UPTON'S TRIP.

"The bonds were in five steel boxes,
weighing, when packed, about 400 pounds
each, all fastened by combination locks
of which we had no key. We rode with
the boxes to New York in Il postal car.
At the Jersey City station we We're met
by the superintendent of the subtreasury
of New York, who had secured for us
the necessary transportation to the boat,
where the bonds We're deposited in the
specie vault, under the immediate control
of the purSer, but until the boat left the
pier some one of our party kept an eye
on the boxes. Once at seat, however, we
relaxed our vigilance and renewed it only
when again approaching land. AT Liver
pool, where we arrived after q pleasant
voyage. | had some trouble in getting
the boxes through the custom house, not
being able to declare under oath that |
personally knew their contents. and there
being no way to open them. A cOmDro-
mise was finally effected by my taking
with me a customs official. who should
lee that the boxes reached the consignees
hndisturbed, and when opened contained
the bonds as alleged, his expenses to be
paid by the syndicate. This delay caused
us to remain in Liverpool all night. We
had the boxes taken to our rooms, and
there we took TURNS in watching them
through the night-the English official
however, had no relief from his vigils.
In the morning, Through q little British
gold, l obtained the practical control of
Il passenger car into which we nut our
personal baggage and the five boxes. for
which we paid as for eXtra-weight bag
gage. The exclusive use of the car was
deemed important the bonds representing
such am enormous amount of wealth.

NEGOTIATING IN LONDON.

SIN the spring of 1871 Assistant Secre-
hurry Richardson. now one of the count OF
jaims judges, and Gen. Spinner, then
limited States treasurer, were sent to Lon
lon to see if any of the new bonds could
be placed there. In July a report was re-
ceived that Il syndicate, represented by
Jay Cooke & Co., would take whatever of
the 200,0OO,00O authorized was not sub
scribed to for in this country. A contract
to that effect was entered into with that
firm. and in August, | think, the first ship
ment of bonds was made. John p. Bige-
low, chief of the loan division, went over
to remain until the bonds were disposed
of. He never returned ITO this country,
except on brief visits, and died in London
year or two ago. Mr.. Richardson re-
manned for some time and the retunding
of the per cents into is was a success.
Subsequently under Mr.. Richardson as
secretary, and under all his successors to
and including Secretary Window, bonds
for refunding purposes were sent to syn
dictates abroad, and payments therefor
made in cancelled bonds and coupons re-
ceived from them. Cash balances were
paid by 1.-THE syndicate direct into the treas
ury, at least after the transaction under
the first contract.
"Without exception | think all the con-
tracts provided that the bonds subscribed
for should be delivered in London at the
expense of the syndicate.
Treasury officials accompanying the
bonds drew no pay from the treasury dur
ing their absence on this duty. The syndi-
cate usually allowed them the same pay
as they were drawing at the Treasury and
a fair per diem for subsistence, in addi-
ton ITO the cost of transportation of
themselves and bonds. This plan was
much cheaper than to have shipped the
bonds as public securities; for the bonds
bore interest coupons, payable to bearer,
and We're complete in form, ready for is
sue, and their loss would have greatly
the treasury.
The largest shipment, SO far as [ can
was made in 1919, and con-
sisted of twenty million coupon As. 1t
was made under my charge, and ] pre-
sumo my experience was about the same
as that of others serving in like capacity.

Turbulent Republican Conventions.

The Republican Legislative district conven-
tons in Baltimore to select delegates to the
State convention, held on Tuesday night, were
nearly as turbulent as the primaries in two of
the conventions. In the third district con-
vention the Master men had walk over, and
the convention was orderly. In the first dis
trict convention the Lowndes men rode rough
shod over the Master delegates. The latter
left the convention but at the door the oppos
ing factions INDUCED in a scrap. The Lowndes
men then put through their program in the
most approved machine manner, and the
Master men went to another hall and elected
Master delegates to the state convention. In
the second district convention the proceed
ings were lively. Among the delegates were
J. Frank Supplee and George R. Gather,
Jr. Mr. Gather is but recent convert to
Repubheanism, but he has rapidly gone to the
front and developed into a boss. He bossed
the convention, and turned down Capt. Sup
plee, who wanted to be delegate to the state
convention and was endorsed by his ward, the
18th. Capt. Supplee made vigorous protest

been defeated in his ward and he had been
fighting for the party since the days when
many of the delegates were in their swaddling
clothes He also said that he regarded the
action of the convention as stab in the back.
Capt Supplee evidently had Mr.. Gather in
mind when he was talking, and the recent
convert to Republicanism was given another
hit BY W. A. Hawkins, colored, who said the
rundown of Capt Supplee meant the pro
bable loss ofthe Eleventh and Twelfth wards to
the Republicans. He paid high tribute to
the Captain, whom he said was Republican
from principle and not policy. This latter
declaration would seem to indicate that Hawk
ms thought Mr.. Gather was a Republican
from policy rather than principle.
The result Of the conventions was seven
delegates each for Lowndes and Aalster, with
contesting delegations from the first district
convention

The Republican Ticket.

The Republican state convention on Thurs
day nominated Lloyd Lowndes, Of Cumber.
land, for Governor; Harry NJ. Clahangh, OF
Carroll. for Attorney General and Robert
T. Graham, of Wicomico. for Comptroller.
Mr.. Master withdrew after testing his
strength on the votes for temporary chairman
and a motion for recess. These votes demon.
strated that he had but AL delegates 10 6s}
