BALTIMORE, Md, September 27.-It Is
announced here today upon reliable au-
thortty that the receivers of the Baltimore
and Ohio railway have arranged to pay
the interest on the bonds of the Baltimore

tenn, upon which default was made on
June /, and that they are in a fair way to
do the same with that of the Pittsburg
and Connellsville branch, on which default
was made on July 1. In this event the

REGIMENT will be ayerted, at least for the
present.
1t is also announced from the same source
that the interest on the bonds of the Phil
adelphia division will not be paid when it
falls due next month. The reasons put
forth to explain this action upon the part
of the Receivers is that the earnings of
both the Pitsburg and Connellsvtils and
the Baltimore and Ohio and Chicago
divisions have been SO Unexpectedly large
because OF the immense shipments of
grain that the receivers will be able TO
carry out their policy OF paying interest
wherever the earnings of the division
directly affected justifies it, while on the
Philadelphia division this has not been the
case The receivers declined to affirm or
deny the report when asked about il.

Sale of Property Near Catholic Uni

The mystery attending the sale by Mr..
George e. Hamilton, several months ago,
of large tract of land about one mile
from the Catholic University continues as
deep as ever The latest rurnor is to the
effect that 1t will be used for the erection
of mother house for the Capuchn monks,
who propose to place the institution under
the patronage of the Catholic University
A Star reporter today made inquiry of the
authorities of the university regarding the
truth of this report and was informed that

Survey Completed Of the Blackfeet
Indian Reservation.

Indian Reservation.
Information received at the office of the
commissioner of the general land office Is
to the effect that the survey of the Black
feet Indian reservation in Montana is COM
pleted. The reservation is now ready to be
thrown open to settlement as soon rs the
reports can be prepared and approved by
the Interior Department. There have been
charges that the department was delaying
the survey in order to give favored persons
an advantage in securing the rich mineral
deposits which 1t is believed will be found
upon the lands of the reservation. Com
missioner Hermann said today that the
work had proceeded with all possible dis
patch, and that the approved plat of the
survey. which would be the final act OF the
survey, would probably be filed in the local
land office within the next ninety days.
The lands will be subject to entry only
under the mining laws. and Mr.. Hermann
calls attention to the fact that the ori2i-
nal provision giving those who have already
located mining claims the right to hold
them for ninety days has been repealed.
