6IDDING FOR THE BONDS
The Various Offers Are Filed Away and
Kept Secret.
Foreign Bids Expected to De Numer-
GUS Owing to the Improved
Political Conditions.

Nothing definite can be learned at the
Treasury Department as to the number
or amount of bids already received for
the new bonds. AS fast as received the
bids are deposited in a. safe. where they
will remain until next Wednesday. wher
they will be opened and their contents an
nounced. 1t is certain, however, that a
large number of bids have been received
ard every mail brings considerable addi-
tions. AS to the amounts or prices offer
ed, even the Secretary of the Treasury
knows nothing, except in some few cases,
where he has been privately advised by
letter. There seems to be no doubt that
the amount of the bids will exceed the
s1O0,00O,OOO to be offered. and it is ex-
pected that the foreign offers will he con-
sfderably more than was expected when the
loan was announced. The improved po-
litical situation abroad, it is believed, will
contribute to this end. The semi-otficial
a nount ement that bidders who intend to
pay for their bonds in foreign coin will be
given the preference In making the awards
is expected to stimulate foreign c0anpeti-
ton for the bonds. The thing most to be
feared in coEnec ton with the sale, it is
said at the Treasury Department, is
possible combination by which a large
percentage of the offers will be at uniform
1y low rates. Should this prove to be the
case, there seems to be no doubt that Sec
retary Carlisle would not hesitate to re-
iect all bids below what he would regard
as fair both to the government and 10 the
purchaser.
The Monthly Deficit.
The forthcoming monthly statement of
the government receipts and expenditures
for January will show the aggregate re-
ceipts to be approximately $29,237 $50, and
the expenditures So, COG, $50. leaving the de-
ficit for the month about s., ,459 16O, and for
the seven months of the present fiscal year
about s1S,S53. .S67. The receipts from GUS
toms during the present month will amount
to about $3.50, 796; from internal revenue,
s11.0i1 ,4O1, and from miscellaneous sources
about s1,S15,472. This is decrease of
about s1,O00,OOO in the receipts from cus
toms as compared with January, 1885,, and
an increase of about 100000 in the re-
ceipts from internal revenue. AS compared
with last month, there is an increase of
over s4,OO0,00O in the receipts from GUS
toms, and a decrease of nearly $1,7j0, 900
in the receipts from internal revenue The
pension payments this month amount to
about s9,9SD,0OO, decrease from last month
of about s1,3S6,OOO.

AMERICAN CITIZEN IMPRESSED.
William C. Schweder of Illinois Scrv
ting i'm the Prussian Army.

HAMMOND, Ind. January 31.-William
Carl Johann Schweder, resident of Cook
county, ILL.,, is asserted to he a victim of
a violation of the rights Of American cit
izenship by the German empire. He is
doing military duty in the Prussian army,
into which ne was drafted last summer,
and efforts thus far to secure his release
have been futile. Schweder left Germany
in 1889, coming to West Hammond. He
was naturalized in due time by a Chicago
court By mistake of the clerk the pa
pers were made out in the name Of Will
lem Shuader. Schweder returned to his old
home in Germany on visit last July, and
upon his arrival at Stettin was pressed into
military service. Four months ago copies
of bis naturalization papers We're sent to
Germany, but were returned indorsed:
1.-The man named within cannot be found
Schweder wrote to his father a few days
ago that he was still doing military duty,
and row steps are being taken to secure
his release. The facts will be presented to
Secretary Olney at once.

THE ST. PAUL STILL FAST.
Vain Efforts to Pull Her Into Deem
WATER.

NEW YORK, January 31.-At high tide
this morning, with the wind north north
east and blowing eight miles an hour, there
was an effort made to pull the American
line steamer st. Paul out of the sand of
Long Branch. The big windlass on board
the steamer pulled on the cables attached
10 the Hedges, and several tugs spent what
power they could attempt, but with all the
great craft was moved only a few feet to-
ward deep water. The probability of the
81 Paul being foated today is very re-
mote, but an effort in that direction will
be made again ct the next high tide.

dered that the minting of silver dollar be
dropped, and there was not another dol
lor coined for thirty years. If the act OF
1873 was crime, and do not admit it,
it was restored in 1878, for since that
time there have been 100000 times as
many silver dollars coined as during the
eight years under President jackson.

COW kept going faster, which increased
both the speed of the calf and the boy.
