Officers of National Banks Make a Zig
orOtts Dental.
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 17.-Officers of
every National bank rumored to be MEM
ber of a pool to make big bid for millions
of the new bond issue denied to-day the
existence of any such combination. The
Illinois Trust and Savings Sank is the
only one which has made bid for the
bonds, the officers admitting that bid for
$l.0o0o00 has been forwarded to Washing
ton. They refuse to give the price offered,
but it is believed to be 11L9S. 1t is the
general opinion among local bank officials
that the banks will need all the gold they
have in their vaults or can get hold of, as
they cannot tell when they will want to
use it or when gold will be at premium.

the pecullarities of this region. While all
about this particular locality they have been
having quite cold wintry weather with con-

NEW YORK, Dec 31.-A special corre-
spondence to the World from Georgetown
Demera, dated December 12, SAYS: Intelli-
gence has just been received from Mapa
the principal settlement within the contested
Mapa territory, between French Guiana and
Brazil that Cabral, the self-apponted chief
Of the territory, has completed the erection
OF substantially fortified forts at Mapa
Cochfour and Carsevene for the purpose OF
forcibly resisting all interference with what
he claims as the independence of the terri
tory. His army has been considerably in
creased and recruits are being regularly re-
ceived. They have a great deal OF arms
and ammunition on hand. A machine for
launching torpedOes into the river at Mapa
is now fitted UP, and, altogether the in
surgent chief and his army are in a state Of
readiness to oppose any force that may be
sent against them
At CAYENNE, the capital of the French
colony, the news created surprise. In Of
fetal circles 1t was accepted as declara-
the event of decision in the arbitration
proceedings now pending being unsatisfactory
to a certain section of Brazilian politicians
1t is also believed to mean the closing OF
the territory against France until the matter
has been settled and Cabral's power
effectively broken Cabral has claimed that
the territory disputed by France belonged to
Brazil and that his administration of the
affairs Of the province was In the interest of
the original BraZlians. He now claims the
independence of the territory that has been
for so long time the subject of dispute
between France and Brazil.

Two cases against Frank e. Moores, clerk
Of the district court, were filed in district
court Monday, in which MeilSle & Gaines,
attorneys, seek to recover the penalty pre-
scribad by law for overchargng court costs
against their clients The law provides that
a penalty of $50 shall be imposed in each
case established, and the two cases already
filed include four counts, or total penalty
of $500.
Although the cases were filed early Mon
day afternoon, no summonses have bean is
sued, nor do the cases appear on the docket.
The statute of limitations provides that such
an action must be brought within one year
from the time of the alleged overcharge.
In two of the items included in the cases in
question, the charges which are cited as
excessive were made December 81, 1894, so
the action will be annuled by the statute
of limitations tonight. The attorneys de-
clare that if the summonses are not issued this
afternoon they will apply for mandamus
to compel Mr. Moores to issue the necessary
papers in the case. They state that the two
cases are preliminary to large number
of others of similar character, In which they
will claim the penalty for alleged overcharges
