TWO $1,000 NOTES
When Presented at Treasury Prove to &c
Counterfeits.

Washington, Aug. 17.-There We're
presented to the treasury department,
today, for redemption two $1,000 seven
thirty notes of the issue of June Is,
1865. The persons making the presenta-
ton We're a business firm of Louisville,
Ky. Upon examination the notes were
found to be counterfeits, being a part
of very large issue of counterfeit
notes which appeared in the principal
bond markets about 1865 and 1867. The
imitation of the genuine is so complete
that many of the principal dealers in
United States securities purchased
them freely and only discovered that
they had been victimiZed when the
notes were thrown out by the authori-
ties at Washington. The loss to bank
crs and dealers through this counter
felt amounted probably to several hun
drcd thousand dollars.

May Import Laborsrs.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 1.-THE strike
leaders for some reason have aban-
doned the idea of having a meeting of
the heads of the different labor organi-
cations to devise ways and means of
battling with an adverse ruling Of the
court on the miners injunction. Presi-

1t will be for another purpose.
There is q rumor current that the
De Armitts have arranged for the Inn
,portation of 200 foreign workmen next
Monday to work in the Turtle Creek
and PLUM Creek mines. This is denied
by Thomas De Armitt. who says that
the company has enough men worlkfne

law. the report says: "A more useful or
thoroughly prepared statute on CONNER
eial law would be difficult to find. All the
fundamental principles and essential def
nitions of the law on commercial paper,

cases, is, in substance. condensed into Sc

those of the American Bar Association.
will result in placing the law on the stat
ute books of all the remaining states
within a reasonable period of tme?''
The report concludes by recommending
the appointment of committee to cor
respond with the several state associa
tons and look generally after the pas
sage of the law by the state Legislatures.
The remaining report on the programme
was that of the committee on formation
of a bureau of education, submitted by
Chairman William G. Cornwell. He said
If the bankers of the United States would
establish Il bureau and employ speakers
to present the claim of the banks prop
erly before the public men. who could in
plain speeches show the farmers and 9TH
ers that if the banks charge high for ac
commodation, it is the fault of legislation
and not of the banks themselves. much
of the present hostility which exists
against banks would be removed.
Letters favoring the idea of such bu-
reau of education We're read from Comp
troller Eckels and others.
The committee will be ready in a short
time with the first pamphlet to be ISSUED.
and the matter of bureau of speakers
can then be taken up and tried. in a small
way at first, and if successful will be
gradually developed.
After the announcement of meetings of
state delegations for the appointment of
committees and other routine business,
the convention adjourned until tomorrow
