PACIFIC RAILROAD bonds.
The First Series Have Matured and
Are Being Redeemed.

The First Series Have Matured and
Are Being Redeemed.
The first series If the government bonds
issued thirty years ago in aid Of the Pacific
railroads matu:ed yesterday and the United
States treasurer is now engaged in their
redemption. They are U. s. 6 per cent
bonds, issued to the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company of California under the acts
of July /, 1862, and July 2, 1864. and are
commonly known as currency SKIES"
They aggregate $780, 600, including ac-
crued interest. They are entirely in the
hands of 199 corporations and individuals.
The Secretary of the Treasury recently
gave public notice that they would be paid
on presentation on or after the 10th in
start. So far, however, he has been called
on only to redeem about S5O0, 900 of these
bonds. According to their terms they are
redeemable in lawful money of the United
States," and the checks In payment are SO
drawn. The disbursements on this ac-
count will, therefore, lot necessarily af-
feet the dwindling gold balance Of the
treasury.
The total amou nt Of Pacific railroad
bonds outstanding is $64623, 900, and of
this amount $G4O, 90 fall due in November
next and SS,O00,0V mtre in January and
February next. Sd far no action has been
taken with regard to the method of re-
endorsement fromfthe railroad companies
benefited by the 81 g of these bonds. The
Attorney General has been investigating
the legal rights o1ethe government in this
matter with vieV to plan of action for
the protection of Its interests in case of
default on the part Of the railroad com.
panies. 1t Is understood that the matter
will be submittedHto Congress for settle

MIR. suERMAN's BANKING BILL.
1t Is to Provide for n Temporary De
Gciency of Revenue.

Senator Sherman today introduced a bill
ITO provide for temporary deficiency of
revenue" The bill sets forth that its pur-
pose is to enable the Secretary of the
Treasury to maintain the redemption OF
United States notes according to the pro-
visions Of the resumption act of January
"a. 1878, and also to enable him to pay cur
rent deficiencies of the revenue. 1t au-
thori7es the Secretary to issue and sell at
his discretion at not Il SIS than par, in coin,
either of the description of bonds author
ized in the resumption act or coupon or
registered bonds to an amount sufficient
for the objects stated, not exceeding the
current deficiency of revenue, bearing not
TO exceed per cent interest, redeemable at
the pleasure of the United States in coin
after five years.
In lieu of any of these bonds the Secre-
tary is authorized, at his discretion, to Is
site certificates of Indebtedness of the
United States, payable in coin after five
years ct the pleasure of the United States
in denominatio frcnn So to 500 at ; per
cent interest. The certificates are TO have
qualities, privileges and exemptions like
those described in the resumption act for
the bonds authorized. 1t is also provided
that upon the deposit of United States
bonds or certificates bearing interest any
national banking association making the
same shall be entitled TO receive circulat-
ing notes not exceeding in the whole
amount the par value of the bonds de-
posted and not to exceed the amount paid
in as capital stock.

TO ENLARGE THE NAVY YARD.
Fl-fbusteriiE Prevented Action on tn
Bill Today.

The committee on naval affairs today at
tempted to pass the bill for the purchase
of square adjoining the Washington
navy yard to enlarge the yard. Opposition
was made to the bill py several members
of the committee on public buildings and
grounds because the bill had not passed
through that committee, and Mr.. Dockery
whose baleful eye vas fixed upon the ap-
preparation carried by the Lill. aided and
abetted the opposition in their attempts to
prevent its passage. Filibustering was
used until the limit of time for considera-
ton of the bill was reached and the meas
ure went over without action.
