The report states that the total number

exceeded twenty per cent more than in
five months the business handled has been
twenty per cent in excess of that of the

DEFAULT IN INTEREST.
Action Probable in Respect to n. mn
O. ObliUaffOns

D. Obligations.
Messrs J. r. Morgan & Co. have an
nounced In financial circles that in view OF
the 1act that the receivers of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad have defaulted
upon the interest on the per cent gold
bonds Of the Parkersburg branch of that
read. 1t may become necessary to take
legal action for the purpose of enforcing
the lien Of the mortgage in case the de-
fault continues and they, therefore, invite
all holders Of such bonds to deposit the
same with them under bondholders'
agreement. It is also intimated that in
case the default continues 1t may be neces-
sary for the bondhoiders to reorganize the
property.
A member of the Baltimore reorganiza-
tion committee of the Baltimore and Ohio
Is authority for the statement that the
receivers of that company appear to have
adopted policy Of general default on all
bonds, and the payment of only the in
terest on the receivers certificates and
upon car trust obligations. Continuing, he
said:
ION the 1st Of March default was made
on the sterling SIS of 1902. and this was
followed April on the Parkersburg branch
8s and the Philadelphia division "A per
cents. At the latter date the Baltimore
and Ohio Company had defaulted on the
following bonds:
Loan of 1872. sterling 6s interest due
IN March and September. the principal Of
which amounts to s96sO, 600; loan of 1883,
sterling ~ per cents, Philadelphia division.
interest due in April and October, prin-
cipal. $l1 $4,000; loan of 1877, Parkersburg
branch Gs. interest due April and October,
principal, $3.G00.OO0; loan Of 1875, sterling
Gs, Pittsburg and Connellsville division, in
terest due January and July, principal,
s6.64S.224; loan Of 1885. Pittsburg and Con-
nellsvtlle per cents, interest due February
and August. principal, $10,OOO.OOO; Balti-
more Belt railroad per cents, interest
due May and November. principal, $1,000
coO, making grand total of $46.944.224.
1T is presumed that default will in future
be made on the interest on other bonds as
they mature. 1t is tine opinion of many
financiers that If the receivers of the~Bal-
timore and Ohio had defaulted generally
from the first, instead of straining every
nerve to restrain interest payments, and
had used the net earnings in building
up the property instead of borrowing more
money. it would have been better for oil
interests. 1t Is not thought that any plan
for the reorganization Of the company will
be announced until the situation is restored
to a normal condition"

FEAST OF PASSOVER.
Its Observance the Occasi for n
Patriotic Address.

Patriotic Address.
The passover or feast of unleavened
bread, which began Wednesday evening at
o'clock, is being observed by all orthodox
Hebrews. The orthodox society will keep
the feast for eight days. Their reformed
brethren will observe 1t but seven days.
During this time food that contains leaven
In any form Is not permitted. The usual
bread is substituted by the fiat cakes term
ed matzoth.
The passover services were held by the
Washington Hebrew Congregation yester-
day morning at Carroll Institute Hall. A
large number attended. The music was q
special feature Of the services. Rabbi Stern
delivered the discourse from the text, Le-
viticus, 42d chapter. 25th verse-'They are
My servants. whom 1 have brought out OF
the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold
as nondmen.' The address was a most pa
triotic one.
In referring to the text the rabbi said this
was a message which Israel, through Its
redemption 5000 years ago, had conveyed
to the people of the earth.
He said: Nowhere was that message
accepted as readily and needed as fully and
consistently as on this western continent,
In this our blessed republic. Here more
tnan anywhere else did the grand truth
of our text become deeply rooted and
firmly established that Gods children are
His servants and not the servants of man.
and that as such they cannot be sold as
pcndmen. This noble truth sustained the
pilgrim fathers when, fleeing from perse-
cution, they sought refuge on this virgin
soil. 1t strengthened, the hand Of the IA
ther of our country, and of all the noble
patriots who followed his lead in their he
roic struggle for freedom and independence.
1t inspired the trainers of our matchless
Constitution. 1t stirred the great heart of
our martyr President, Abraham Lincoln,
and the hearts Of the hundreds of thous-
ands who, obedient to his call, went forth
to battle and die for the preservation OF
the Union and the cause of humanity in
order that millions of Gods children should
enjoy their brthright and no longer be sold
as bondmen."
The rabbi referred to the Cuban situation
In stirring tones. The dream of the prophet
ana the hope of all lovers of humanity, he
continued. was that war should cease be-
tween nations. 1t did not appear to him,
however, that the time has come yet So
long as the greed and seifishness of nations
Is greater than their sense Of justice and
humanity, SO long will the consummatton
OF that hope remain a fair dream.
Let us still hope and pray that Spain
Will yield and war be averted," the rabbi
said but come what may, with the help
OF God, Cuba will be free, and once more

OUR COAST DEFENCES.
1t Would Be Suicide for Enemy to Attempt IL
Enter Large Atlantic Ports.

Cleveland. Ohio, Nov. 15.-CoI. Jared
A. Smith, q. S. engineer, has just re-
turned from the Atlantic coast de-
fences at New York, Boston and Port
land. He said:
Our harbor defences. while not yet
completed, are so far advanced that it
would be suicidal for a Warship of any
foreign country to enter any of these
harbors, if we objected. a great deal
of work is yet necessary to be done,
but work is rapidly being pushed for
ward.
Very few people have any idea CT
the power or accuracy of our coast de-
fences. Our defences are as good as
any in the world, for their purposes.
No better can be found anywhere The
works are being rapidly completed and
it will not be great while until the
coast is we'll nigh impregnable.
