ANTICIPATED.
The Treasury Will Pay Interest on the
Public Debt Up TO July |, Next.

WASHINGTON, October 10.--Assist-
ant Secretary vanderIip has decided to
anticipate the interest for the entire
fiscal year. the period ending with July
/, 1900. The interest due November /.
will be paid in full without discount,
but If the holders Of bonds wish to
take advantage OF the offer to antiei-
pate interest due at subsequent dates. a
discount rate OF two-tenhs OF one per
cen. a month will be exacted. The
amount of interest due from now until
the end Of the fiscal year is about $780,
coo. 1000. The payment OF this amount
will, 1t is believed, be a relief OF much
importance to the present stringent
money situation; while, on the other
hand, the discount win be a saving OF
large amount to the government

he has achieved greatness and made q
name for himself that will live through
ages. He has rendered transcendent SER
vices to his country when crisis was
upon it.
Admiral Sampson received a generous
mead of applause and thanked the assem-
blage and the people of the State for the
greeting they had given him, and spoke of
the gratitude with which he encountered it.
The bands then combined in playing
"America," and a general reception and
Misunderstanding took place. An hour was
taken up with this. Hundreds of people
pressed forward to shake hands with
Chadwick and Sampson and many old
friends of the captain saluted him efru-
sively. The scenes at times were deeply
affecting.
The crowds then began TO dispense. and
within few hours the town was cleared.
They got out with much greater ease than
they had arrived, as the railroad was much
more able to handle them than in the
morning. when everything was delayed

In THE WESTON FIELn.

WESTON. w. Va, October 10.-Ths
Camden we'll, the last twenty-four
hours ending this morning, put 1S0
barrels in the tanks. The previous
twentyfour hours it made $50 barrels.
1t is said tonight that a valve was
put in the two-inch pipe running to the
tanks to turn it down, and that they
pinched it too much, causing an up
heaval at the cap, upon which many
hundred pounds OF old iron is placed
to hold it down. Five ESQ barrel tanks
have been filled and full that much oil
lies in the creek. Two more 250-bar-
rel and one 1,200, two 500 and two GOO
barrel tanks are being shipped in to
arrive in the next day or two.
Two new locations were made this morn
ing by Guffey & Galley, OF Pittsburg. on
the Edwards farm. adjoining the Camden.
They are both located southwest, one two
hundred rods and the other mile.
The Harrison well, located six miles
east is drilling at coo feet. Tho Arm well
is northeast about forty-fve degrees. tho
same distance, and Is drilling at 100 feet.
Fully three hundred oil men are in the
county. Guffey & Galley commenced thu
erection Of the derrick this afternoon upon
their two locations. Mr. Galley says to-
night these two tests viii be pushed as
fast as steam will drill them.

NEW YORK, October 10.-OWing to
heavy fog and no wind to-day's yacht
race was declared off at 1925 o'clock.
At 1906 o'clock the Shamrock and
the Columbia were at their mornings.
The fog was thick and the breeze not
strong enough TO make the yacht en-
signs tail out. There were only five
men beside Capt Barr on board the
Columbia when the Associated Press
tug went along side. Capt Barr was
walking the deck impatiently. On the
st. Michaels Mr.. G. Oliver Iselin and
his friends were reading the newspa-
pers. When asked if he would race
to-day Mr.. Iselin replied that he would
not unless it cleared. He could not say
whether or not there would be a race
tomorrow, but was waiting to have
consultation with representatives of the
New York and Royal Ulster Yacht
Clubs. Sir Thomas Upton also said
that he should not attempt to race to-
day in heavy fog and with little or no
wind. The Shamrocks full crew was
on board this morning, and man was
at the top masthead working for an
hour.
The weather conditions remained
practically unchanged until 1925, when
it was decided to call off the race.
The committee has decided that the
next yacht race will be on Thursday.
the subsequent races being sailed on
succeeding days thereafter, except Sun
day, until the contest is decided.

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Upper Part of Young Woman's Body Dis
covered in New York Harbor.

tONCAch 'h NC" AoL AhaTOpFs
NEW YORK, October 10.-The up
per part of woman's body was found
on the beach at quarantine, station at I
a. m. to-day by John Heineman. u
years old. The portion of the body
found was from the waist line to the
neck. The appearance of the flesh is
quite fresh and It had been put a short
time in the water. 1t was tied up with
Irvine and pieces of Manila paper and
newspaper clinging to the Irvine. Most
Of the paper is washed away Over the
right breast is cut about two inches
long, but DR.. Doty, the State health Of
ficer, says it was merely a flesh wound
and probably inflicted while cutting
the body in pieces. The doctor says this
portion of the body is the upper part
of young woman who had never been
a mother. The part where the head is
cut off is quite jagged and the head
had evidently been hacked off the arms
were cut OF close to the shoulders.
and are also cut off in clumsy man
ner
The first portion of the body was
picked up in Seventeenth street near
Seventh avenue, and was the right thigh
from a few inches above the knee TO
the waist The second part, which was
recovered from the river, was the left
loin and this fitted upon the upper por-
ton of that found in the street. The
description of the find at quarantine in
dictates that the trunk Of the body is
now complete. The latest found part
has not yet been brought to the morgue
where the other parts are kept

transports and warships to pilot them
into the harbor. 1t is quite certain,
however, that the transports would not
go to Lourenzo Marques unless the Brit
ish were about to fly their flag over the
port.
The cabinet has been summoned to
meet at the foreign office on Friday
next.
War preparations by Great Britain
are already being pushed with the
greatest energy. The Woolwich arse
nal has already been forwarded to
South Africa over 100000 cartridges
for rifles and machine guns and the re-
servists continue to respond eagerly to
the mobilization proclamation.
A despatch from Pretoria dated Mon
day evening says:
Owing to the state of the country
generally and the sad circumstances
which prevail it has been officially an
nounced that there viii be,no birthday
reception at the presidency. Matters
are becoming critical and many of the
Burghers in the three main commandos
are impatient and feel that it is sui
cidal to wait the arrival of overwhelm-
ing reinforcements from Europe. The
president has done his utmost to stem
this feeling, in the hope that diplomacy
might still settle matters.
During the past few days tele-
graphic conferences have been held
with President Steyn and whatever
course shall be taken by the Transvaal
will receive the recommendation and
support of the Orange Free State.
1T is freely rumored in the town and
is believed to, be correct, that the gov
eminent assumed its firm position be-
cause Great Britain's new proposals
have not arrived, though Mr.. Conyng-
ham Greene, British diplomatic agent
at Pretoria, informed Secretary of State
Reitz nine days ago that they would be
formulated in few days time. Con-
sequently the Burghers are alarmed at
