BANK TO PAY FULL.
Senator Platt Intimates That It Will
Probably Resume.

Owego, N. Y, Oct. 1s.-Au day a
crowd of excited depositors assembled
on Main street and gazed at a f1utter-
ing piece of paper pinned to the door
of the Tioga National bank. which
read; BY order of the controller of
currency at Washington this bank will
not open today
Though Owego is a small village and
news travels rapidly the majority of the
Inhabitants did not know of the defaI-
cation of Assistant Cashier Stone until
they awoke this morning to find their
deposits tied up.
Senator Platt was reticent when here
but, however, he said that a meeting
of the board of directors had been held
and the books carefully gone over. 1t
was found the discrepancy would not
exceed $4,000, and the depositors will
be paid in full. Senator Platt has no
paper in the bank. with the exception
of note on which he is the third en-
dorser. His brother has a small note
which is protected by collateral secur-
ity.

TWO POINTS SETTLED.
Spain Comedies Porto Rico and Aban-
Comment of Cuba.

Paris, Oct. 1S.-The Gaulois today re-
views yesterdays session of the joint
peace commissions and referring to the
delay caused by difference in the lang
uage spoken by the commissioners,
adds: But according to the Spaniards
the main cause of the difficulty encoun-
tered in the negotiations is the lack of
Cancellation in the attitude of the
American commission. It is known in
regard to Porto Rico and Cuba that
articles of the protocol are absolutely
positive-Spain comedies Porto Rico to
the United States and relinquishes and
abandOnS sovereignty over Cuba. These
two points are definitely settled and
are not open to discussion. Besides the
Spaniards make it a, point of honor to
scrupulously abide by their engage
ments towards their conquerors.
THE question of the Cuban debt re-
mains. Upon which power should the
Onerous obligation of guaranteeing the
debt rest? Here is where the two COM
missions differ IN their views and neith-
er is inclined to yield. The Spaniards
agree on the following lines: When a
power annexes territory it is implied
that it assumes all the obligations pre-
viOusly of such territory. 1t is interna-
tiOnal law, sanctioned by usages which
has always been complied with. Thus,
when France annexed Savoy, she as
sumed all the debts contracted by the
latter while still an Italian province.
Lastly they remind their. opponents
that Cuba is virtually the key of the
Gulf of Mexico, a startegic position of
the first order to the United States and
an immense advantage which calls for
same sacrifice upon the part of the
Americans.
ITO this the latter replied at first
that they could not listen to any dis
cussion of the matter being under for
NAL instructions from their govern
ment. But on the Spanish commission
insisting and in the presence of its very
firm attitude; not that they entertain
the intention Of yielding to SPANS in
functions, but they consent to argue
against the Spanish position. These ar
gumentS may be briefly summed up as
follows: The Americans insist upon
the fact that the money raised by the
Cuban loans was not applied to the
requirements or interests of the island:
but was chiefly borrowed to the end of
improving the financial condition of
Spain and to procure funds which she
could no longer raise in the peninsula
and that the debt therefore is personal
to Spain. On the other hand the Amer
leans say that America has no intention
of annexing Cuba and could not there
fore assume such obligations.
FINALLY it is held that owing to the
fabulous cost of the late war. the Amer
lean people would not cOncede the right
to thus assume such obligations"

OPPOSE SLOT MACHINES.
Ministers Look on the Playing of
Them as a Growing Evil

The Ministerial union has opened a war
on slot machines. At the meeting Mon
day the following resolution was approved

Whereas, Slot machine gambling is

denunciatiOn of the maintenance of slot
machines, and arousing the public con-
science in regard to the evil.
Third, That we unite with other relig
ious orga nizatiOns and churches Of the
city in petitioning the city council to pass
an ordinance abOliShing slot machines and

The resolution was originally adopted at
the meeting or the Men 5 league OF the
First Presbyterian church on Tuesday Of
last week.
Slot machines have been used in Topeka
for five years. During that time their
use has become general. The city passed
an ordinance designed to tax them out of
existence, but 1t was declared Invalid 1t
was thought they would come under the
provision of the state anti-gambling law.
but no attempt was ever made to enforce
it against the slot machine.
The business has grown to such an eX-
tent that every drug store, cigar store and
many candy stores and restaurants use
slot machines. The operator puts nickel
in the place provided for that purpose,
wheel turns around and If the indicator
stops on a certain number he receives hVe
times the value of his nickle in trade. If

HARD FOR A TOPEKA FIRM.
Sudden Movement of Troops at Kan
sas City Makes Trouble for VIM.
Green g. Sons.

Two Topeka. firms have the contract
for feeding the Missouri volunteers en-
camped at Paramount park in Kansas
City. The sudden move of the soldiers
into the city this morning will be a
source of great loss to the Topeka con-
tractors.
The firms are VIM. Green & Sons of
North Topeka and the Charles Wolff
Packing company and Mr.. Green is now
in Kansas City to look after the change
in the location of the troops.
The Kansas City Times says:
Moving the men into the city will be
most acceptable to them, but hardly SO
to the Topeka firm which received the
contract to feed them The firm as wen
it might have, supposed the soldiers
were to remain in their present camps
and built regular ovens and Kitchens
there Now they must abandon them
and the loss will be total one. How
they can feed the $500 soldiers when
the two regiments part company and
get away from the ovens and Kitchens
is difficult to see, and trouble is to be
expected from that source. Altogether
it is a disastrous termination of what
was more or less disastrous cam
paign."
pie will not lose anything after all. A.
L. Green of the firm of VIM. Green &
Sons said that the two firms had ex-
pended several thousand dollars in ma
king preparations to feed the soldiers
and that they would lose money unless
they could feed the troops for some
time but he said that their contract
with the government called for meals
furnished to the troops at Paramount
park and that the firm could not be held
responsible for the movement of the
troops to some other location.
Vim. Green, senior member of the
firm who is also president of the Tope-
ka Commercial club has direct charge
of the business for the Topeka people
and it cannot be known what the result
will be until Mr.. Green returns to To-
peka which will probably be in a day or
two.
Nearly everything used by the Mis-
souri, troops has to be shipped to them
from Topeka and this fact has caused
some jealousy On the part of Kansas
City people.
This same firm was the lowest bidder
for feeding the troops at Leavenworth.
but the LeaVenWOrth people made such
a strong protest to awarding them the
contract that all bids were declared off
and since then the soldiers have been
living on allowances and have been al
lowed to feed themselves where they
choose. This contract is to be award
ed soon, unless the Topeka people are
the lowest bidders, it is presumed.
The Kansas City contract provides
that the Topeka contractors shall be
paid % cents a meal for feeding the SOL
diers. This means over 81, 500 a day.

TO BUY CUBAN BONDS.
Anglo-American Syndicate Forming
for That Purpose.

New York. Oct 1s-A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
1t is regarded here as a good sign
that a large Anglo-American syndicate
is being formed to buy up Cuban bonds.
This, of course, is interpreted as evil
dence that a satisfactory arrangement
is at hand.
There is good reason for supposing
that the big cannon mounted at Ha-
Vana will fall to the Americans
There are two outstanding issues of
Cuban bOnds-one for "a, 800, 900 pounds
per cents, issued in 1886 and the other
1890. OF the latter, Is, 200, 900 pounds
were reserved to retire the 6 per cent
bonds while the remainder were sold
at IS. The skies issued in 1886 were
sold at 81. In each case the bonds are
for 20 pounds each, or 500 pesetas and
they mature in so years from date.
The amounts outstanding are "a, $780,
900 pounds of the skies and 25,300 600
pounds of the fives or go, 100, 900 pounds
nual interest is 8, 1853, 900 pounds (S16,-
765, 0O0). The interest is payable in
London, Havana, Madrid, Barcelona and
Paris. The loans are secured by all Of
the revenues of the island of Cuba, and
is guaranteed by Spain.
There was a prior issue of Cuban
bonds in 1880 to pay off the loan adj
vanced by the Banco Hispano Colonial
to fund the Cuban floating debt ana to
exchange for these bonds the per cent
obligations of 1873. There were 15,000,-
they were redeemable in 20 years. Most
1886 and those not converted were paid
off

G. C. CLEMENS DOG.
An Old Pet of His Has MysteriousIy
Disappeared.

There is mourning in the household
of G. G. Clemens. The cause is the alb
sence of a little black-and-tan dog,
which has been a household pet for
years and was considered one of the
family.
THAT dog has been our pet for a long
time" said Mr.. Clemens mournfulIy.
He is fifteen years old, and he and I
have grown gray hair together. We
took him to a neighbours last Saturday
to stay while Mrs. Clemens and myself
were both away from home, and along
in the evening he ran away and that
is the last he has been seen. I have
been to the police station and told them
If they would find the dog they might
fine me for anything from murder to
chicken stealing, and I would cheerfully
pay the fine and S. in addition to it,
but it hasn't brought me back my dog.
I haven't done anything for nearly
three days but look for that dog
