TO FLOAT SECURITIES.
Most Local Capitalists Prefer Home to
Outside Investments.

Bankers and others who control large
sums of money frequently receive visits
from representatives of interests in other
cities who desire to place here blocks of
bonds or of other securities of enterprises
located in their respective towns. 1t is
evidently thought the opportunities here are
excellent, and hence efforts are being con-
stantly made to secure the market 1t is
believed by some that applications of this
sort are more numerous since the events Of
the past year, which have to certain ex-
tent brought Washington prominently into
notice in the financial world, on the theory
that as the holders of such large blocks of
street railroad and other local securities
have disposed Of them, in all probability
the opportunity for directing d portion of
the cash into particular directions was es-
pecially good.
on the other hand it is said that oppor-
tunities of this kind have always been pre-
scented in this market, and that the pecu-
liar local conditions which have existed
here during the past year have made no
appreciate change. In fact, it is said the
bulk of the money realized from the sale
of the various properties in this District
was reinvested in local enterprises inciud-
ing, of course, real estate, and that the
Partially of Washington capitalists for
home investments is still as strong as ever
and that the outside chances which are pre-
scented so frequently find very little patron
age in this city.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
COunterfeiters of Canadian
Money Arrested.

Chief Wilkie Of the secret service has
received information Of the arrest Of W. L.
Davis and wife at Guthrie, Oklahoma ter
ritory and has directed that they be held
on charges of counterfeiting Canadian
money in this country.
The story of Davis capture reflects credit
upon the secret service. Some time ago q
man named George Chisolm was arrested
in Nova Scotia for passing Canadian coun-
terfeits. He confessed that he obtained
his supplies from Davis, who then lived in
Boston. A secret service officer visited
Davis house, but found that he had hastily
moved away, leaving no trace of his where
abouts. A printing press and a few other
things were found in his home.
The detective finally learned that Davis
had brother on oxford street, Boston.
Last Saturday a letter went to Oxford
street, pOstmarked Guthrie. As a venture
Chief Wikie directed a detective in Okla
homa to see if he could find Davis and
wife of whom descriptions were given
The detective found the man. Since then
the Boston detective has located the plates
which Davis used in printing Canadian
counterfeits. If convicted Davis will re-
ceive five years 70 counterfeiting foreign
money in this country.

Great Britain produced "a per cent of the

ALASKAN MILITARY ROAD,
1t Has Been Completed From the
Coast Range to Copper River Valley.

The War Department has received an inter-
esting report from Capt. w. r. Abercrom-
bic, commanding the Copper river exploring
expedition.
Capt. Abercrombie's report bears date of
October ., 1899, and was written at Fort
Valdez. He reports progress in the con-
struction of the trans-Alaskan military
read with which he has been so prominent
ly identified since its inception.
Capt. Abercrombie says that the military
road is now completed. through the Coast
range OF mountains into the Copper river
valley. 1t is entirely free from glaciers,
and in his opinion is as cheap piece of
work as ever undertaken by the War De-
partment in opening up d new country.
An inclosed letter from Engineer Gillette
states that the line for the new military
road is now down for a distance of seven
miles He has found one pass through the
coast range of mountains into the Copper
river valley available for commercial pur-
poses. He says the work thus far done has
not been heavy, and that he has been COM
PEELED to build only three bridges. There
is no question in his mind that he will be
able to show up good line for mountain
country

American Claims for Damages.

Claims have been filed up to date on ac-
count of damages sustained by American
citizens through the Spanish war to the
amount of S25, 100000, and the President is
expected to submit recommendation to
Congress in his message looking to the
creation of a commission to adjudicate
these claims and make provision for the
payment of such as are found legitimate.
This action will be taken under article VII
of the treaty of peace.
This article excuses Spain from paying
indemnities upon claims that have arisen
since the beginning of the recent insurrec-
ton in Cuba, and requires this government
to adjudicate and settle such of these de-
mands of its own citizens against Spain as
are relinguished in the treaty.

Creek. IN Virginia. IN 1G19-'2l. and Beverly
wrote that the iron proved reasonably
good. but before they got into the body Of
the mine the people were cut off in that
fatal massacre" II appears that the
works were not rebuilt. and ne iron was
made there after that time. and but little
before.
At Lynn in Massachusetts John Win

the Saugus river in 1913. which was eighty
seven years before that on the Warwick
farm.
History states that in 1876 the agent of
the company bought some of the coun-
try's guns to melt over at the furnace. II
was at this foundry that Joseph jerks
made the first iron casting, small iron

Looking After British Prisoners

Mr.. Macrum, the United States consul at
Pretoria, has been instructed by cable to
impress upon President Kruger that in
the view of this government the usages of
ali civilized nations sanction the ministra-
ton of neutral representative in the in
terest of the citizens and captives of one
of the parties to the war, and he must
further insist upon performing the sacred
duties imposed by all considerations of hu-
manity. This is practically an announce

Talk of Making Reciprocity Agree
ment.
STATEMENT OF COUNT MOURAVIEFF
Preparing Arguments for the
Senate.
TREATIES TO BE RATIFIED

Relative to the statement attributed to
Count Mouravieff, the Russian minister OF
foreign affairs, that the rropriety of remod-
cling the trade treaty of 1882 between the
United States and Russia was now under
consideration, it is learned that about two
months ago movement to that effect was
initiated by the Russian embassy here The
success of the French government in nego-
tiating reciprocity treaty was probably
the incentive to the Russian government
to follow the example of that government.
From the number and scope of the reci-
plocity agreements and special treaties
which have been drawn up under the terms
of the Dingley tariff act, besides those
which are nearing the point of conclusion
under the broad constitutional powers of
the President, 1t began to appear that a
European nation unfortunate enough TO be
omitted from the list of privileged nations
would be at a great disadvantage in con-
tinuing its trade with the United States

Germany After Reciprocity.

That fact first dawned upon the German
government, and it has been struggling.
though so far without success, to obtain a
reciprocity treaty, the obstacle being The
uncompromising attitude of the agraran
interests against the United States meat
and provision trade, though that promises
to he modified by the reIchstag in the near
future.
Russia was the next power to see the
advantages of remodeling its trade arrange
ments with the United States, and the FIRST
oVertures in that direction We're noted about
two months ago. The matter has not moved
very speedily, and ii is not yet possible to
forecast the exact form the new arrange
ment will take. 1t may be, as indicated by
Count MouI avieff, revision of the trade
treaty of 1882, the two governments
may decide - frame a pure reciprocity
treaty under the general terms of the Ding
ley act, such made with France.
though owing to the expiration of the
term allowed by the act for The completion
of such agreements and treaties, this one
may be drawn up under the reserved pow
ers of the executive, and so be free of
special limitations as to scope.
1t is suImsed that the deliberate progress
in part to the difficulty Of finding articles
of trade between the United States and
Russia which may advantageously be made
the subject of diminution in duties. This
is owing to the fact that both parties are
a large scale agricultural countries and
are under the necessity of protecting such
products as well as the producers of raw
material, so that the basis of exchange
will be difficult to reach.

The Treaty With France.

The indications of rather formidable OPP
position to the approval by the Senate of
the French reciprocity treaty have given
considerable concern to the officials of the
State Department, who have had much to
do with its negotiation. That treaty was
perfected with the greatest difficulty, and
was in itself the means of restoring the
good will and cordiality between the
United States and France, which had I'M
dergone a severe strain during the last two
years. It's failure now, it is said at the
State Department, would be most unfortu-
nate, and the department is prepared to
show to the Senate by statistics, that the
United States has secured all of the ad-
VantageS from a purely economic point of
view that could be expected, having re-
gard to fair treatment of France.

Preparing Arguments.

The State Department has, in fact, pre-
pared itself on a large scale for the de-
Tense of the treaties and arrangements
which must go before Congress during the
approaching session, and the only question
still open is whether it shall lump all of
these arrangements and treaties in "a gen
eral argument and statement, or shall
make each the subject of separate repre-
sensations. Because of the number of the
treaties and arrangements which have been
negotiated since the adjournment of the
last Congress, number far in excess of
the most sanguine advocates of reciprocity
arrangements in the State Department, ii
would appear that the latter course would
impose great labor upon the department,
and it may be from consideration Of this
fact that the conventions will be turned
into the Senate all together, and left TO RELY
for support upon the strong representa-
tons which the PRESIDENT viii make upon
that subject in his annual message.
