scented. Later MIR. Clements learned
that the stranger, after turning the cor

the whole being enclosed in rich gilt

II is to be remarked that Secretary Long
in his letter Of tTausmittal makes refer
ence to a letter from the secretary or
state compllmenting Admiral Dewey
upon his direction OF affairs since the
great naval victory, formal evidence
that the state department is thoroughly
well satisfied with the diplomatic quail

THE RAR LOAN.

It's Popular SueosaS-Firut shlpmsnt oT
New BoHdB Made Yosterdpy-SOO, 600
Subscriber.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The follow
Ing statement concerndng the new bond
issue was made at the treasury dspart~
ment to-day:
1.-THE first shipment Of the new war
bonds was made to-day. They consist-
ed Of 1000 bonds OF $50 each, and 1000
bonds Of $500 each. The public mind is
prepared TO comprehend the enormous
labor and multitudlnous details cons
nected with this great popular loan In
the first place, after the rejection OF
thousands Of subscriptions to which no
allotment could be made, there remain
about 100000 persons to whom bonds
Will be allotted and forwarded in due
course by express. It Is not a question
only OF 100000 names. The name, in-
Guiding, state, county. town, and street
number Of each subscriber must be
transcribed and rewritten in various
ways at least ten times. This Is equiv
nlent to entering once, thus fully e2>
tended, three. milton or more names.
Another important feature Is the
limitation In the ability OF the express
agency to receive. forward and deliver
the bonds after they are committed to
their care for this purpose. This llm~
itRtion Is estimRted By the express COM
pany at 5000 items per day.
'Tf1e facts thus cited go 70 show, that
while subscribers in the sums Of A,500
or less, may rest secure in tine certainty
that the bonds VIII come to them all In
due time, they must patiently wait the
operation OF the government machinery.
It is understood that deliveries on tho
subscriptions to $500 and less, for which
the money has been all received. viii be
made before the larger subscriptions
are attended to. OF these small sub.
scrlptAons there are 100000 in number,
and Ii is estimated that forty days WIN
be required for this delivery. From
this 1t will appear that subscribers in
amounts larger than $500 Will not begin
10 receive their bonds until after Sep~
tember /. From that date on the bonds
Will be put in the hands OF the larger
subscribers quite rapidly, since, nu-
mcricaliy speaking, they aggregate less
than one-third of the number Of small
subscribers. In the meantime the
larger subscribers Will be officially no-
iifled by the treasury department. when
and how payment in addition to the two
per cent deposit will be required and
before renting funds they are res
duested to await such notice. Much
confusion will thereby be avoided"
