Those Who Present Checks Get the Klnd
OF Money Asked For
How little the members Of the Sem
ate and House of Representatives know
about the practical bearings of the
questions they are discussing was IL
lustrated when a telegram was reeelv-
ed at the Treasury Department ask
ing whether persons who we're paid
interest on bonds were allowed to elect
what kind of money they should re-
celve' From five to forty similar in
qu1ries come in the mail every day.
1t is also stock question that has to
be answered several hundred times
every month whether the interest or
principal Of the public debt has ever
been paid In silver or greenbacks, ur
whether gold alone is used. | have re-
ceiVed four such inquiries within the
last three days, says W, e. Curtis. It
is the practice of the Government to
make all disbursements, for ordinary
expenses, for the interest of the public
debt and for the redemption Of bonds
that have matured, by checks, drawn
upon the sub-treasuries at New York
Chicago and elsewhere Persons hold
Ing registered bonds receive these
checks by mail Persons having cou-
pom. bonds cut off the coupons and
deposit them as 50 much cash in banks
where they keep their accounts. The
checks, when received, are deposited in
the same manner. The banks send
tnem to the clearing house, which
sends them to the Sub Treasury for de-
poslt, and to settle other accounts. so
that it is entirely a matter of book
keeping, and the actual cash Is not
handled one time In thousand. At
very rare intervals some one will come
into one of the sub-treasuries with q
government check or a coupon and ask
for cash. The paying teller invariably
inquiries, How will you have it?" #
they say gold, they get gold if they
say greenbacks, they get greenbacks;
but they usually express no choice
and the cashier hands them the money
that is most convenient. II all the per-
sons receiving interest checks should
bring them to the sub-treasuries the |
same thing would occur. They would
be given whatever money they asked
for. as long as 1t held out, and if the
cashier got short of gold certificates
or gold coin or greenbacks, or any
other particular kind, he would tell
them so and give them something else.

DISTURBING ELEMENT.
Youngsters Who Wanted Fight
and Got Too Much of 1t.

Magnolia Lodge of Good Templa1s
holds its regular meetings at 800 j
street, and for some time there have;
been mutterings raised by number Of
young fellows who, it is alleged, are
making it their business TO break up the
organization.
AT the meeting last night matters
came to head, and the Objectionable FL
en.ent, consisting, it is said, of Harry
Holmes, Grant Mckay and a young man
named Curtis, after engaging III
rough-and- tumble fight with sevetai
other members, were elected.
Several ladies who witnessed the row
were thrown into Mysteries and were
taken home in hacks, and it is under
stood that warrants will this morning be
sworn out for the arrest of Mckay ana
Holmes Officer Naghel was called IN,
but when he arrived the trio Of disturb
ers had been elected.
The presiding officer, Mr.. Button, III
spea king to a Record Union" reporter,
SAID Holmes and Mckay had tried to run
the meeting from the start, out that he
had held them down until they at length
became insulting TO some OF the 1adles
present, and the mix-up followed.
| Other members of the society Informed
the reporter that both Holmes and Nc
Kay insulted several ladies present, ana
that the fight was the result Of their
actions
