 Bonded Debt.
 The bonded debt of the county is $500, 900 
 Liabilities.
 The countys liabilities on September 3Oth were follows:
 Bonded debt, $60o,0OO; fine and forfeiture claims, $91, 44.43; bills payable, s20000 reg istered warrants, $297O.57; total of $714,- 6S50O. MT. Camp adds: 'In addition to the liabilities the board of revenue has since the close of the fiscal year borrowed $10,- 000 I find no law authorizing the county to borrow money or pay interest thereon, and without discussing the eXpediency of this action, it is beyond doubt dangerous precedent, the misuse or abuse of which might cause serious complications in the future"
 The average monthly cash balance for the year was $43,67O against $SO 234 during the preceding year, a decrease of 451a per cent.
 Court Baiiffs.
 Paid out to court baiiffs last year $5,- 46950. Mir Camp says: 'The amount paid for baliffs appears excessive and investiga- tion might show that a material reduction can be made in this item of expense.
 Jail Guards.
 Speaking of the $146O paid for jail guards, MT. Camp says: q see no reason why the county should bear this expense, as it is the sheriffs duty under the general laws to properly guard all prisoners under his custody"
 Paying Witnesses.
 MT. Camp says: q renew recommenda- tions made last year as to changing the law regulating the fine and forfeiture fund. State witnesses should be paid in like man ner as jurors, thereby putting in their pockets the money that now goes to the scrip scalper in the shape of enormous profits
 Tax Rate.
 The tax levy for the year was: County tax, 25 cents on the $1OO; road tax, 10 cents; bridge tax, cents; school tax, cents; to- tai, 45 cents. MT. Camp adds that if the county sewer is built another 5-cent tax must be levied

GOOD FRIDAY IN NEW YORK.
The Church Day Generally Observed
I'm the Metropolis.

NEW YORK. April 13.-Good Friday was
very widely observed throughout the city
today, and downtown business was to a
considerable extent suspended All the eX-
changes we're closed, and the merchants,
who kept their doors open, sold to holiday
visitors as a rule and not to their regular
customers.
Special services were held in all Episco-
nal and Roman Catholic churches, AMI in
many churches of other denominations,
and for the day many Of them had prepared
musical programmes of more than the or
binary length. Good Friday is the most
solemn fast day Of all the Christian year,
and the custom Of observing it has grown
greatly within recent years.
As usual Holy Cross buns were on many
tables. and the bakery men who supply
them to customers said that never before
had the demand for them been so great in
this city For days signs telling of their
coming had been displayed in shop win
dows the city over, and so many were or
dered that the daily delivery men had to
start out on their first trips soon after day
light The big bakery shops had sold sur
prisingly great numbers OF them, and their
delivery wagons were often required TO
make two or three trips before all orders
were Ulltu.
The florists. too, had a busy day selling
and delivering Easter lilies. Most Of their
stocks had been ordered days before, but
lilies were plentiful this year. and no one
had TO 20 without them who had money to
pay for them. There have been casters
when lilies were scarce and very high
priced, but this year was not enc OF them.
A week ago consignments began to come
in from Bermuda, and this morning found
about all Of the dealers in this city well
supplied. Practically all the Easter lilies
purchased here came from Bermuda, and
from this city they are shipped TO inland
towns in great number. Lilies were once
raised in Bermuda on land not exactly
suited for other purposes. and then not IN
great number but Of recent years many
land owners have made them 4 speciality,
and as a result. steamships have come into
port recently with the flowers making up
a good part Of their cargo.

CHARGES VIOLATION OF LAW.
The Complaint OF y. c. Lane Against
District Authorities.

The District Commissioners have sent
replv to a letter from Senator Mcmillan,
enclosing a letter from n. c. Lane, who
charges that the law relating to the let
ting of contracts in the District Of Column
bia has been frequently violated to the
.iniury of contractors and business men
generally"
Mr.. Lane disclaims any implication OF
fraudulent transactions but complains that
the law has been violated in the giving out
OF the public work Of the District. As
quoted by Mr.. Lane. the law provides that
bids be asked upon all work calling for
an expenditure Of 81 600 or upwards.
Mr.. Lane then cites the instance of the
grading of Pennsylvania Avenue and OF
Branch Avenue southeast. calling for an
expenditure of So 600, and claims that 70
bids we're asked for and that the work
was done bv day labor by the employees
Of the District Government.
Other similar instances are given where
81 coo was appropriated for grading Kan
sas Avenue, from Brightwood Avenue 10
Trenton Street, where $4,000 was appro-
priated for granite block and asphalt road
way on Benning Road, together with $50
600 for grading, excavating and filling, and
where s.. 500 was appropriated for the sew
er in Mount Vernon Square. In all these
instances Mr.. Lane says no proposals were
asked for, and, in his opinion, the law
was violated.
The Commissioners In their reply state
that the law has not been violated in the
instances named by Mr.. Lane, and in one
case cited by him they gay that no money
whatever bad been spent from the appro-
priation when his letter was written. The
commissioners state emphatical that they
are ready 10 appear at any time before the
Senate Committee and present the facts
regarding the alleged violation of the law:
complained Of by Mr.. Lane.

MOORS SETTLE CLAIM.
Thsfat of Visit From Uncle Sans Warship
Hurries Up.Payment of Indemnity.


Washington, Dec. ia message
from United States Consul Gummery.
at Tangiers. informs the state depart
ment that the Moorish government had
settled the claim of the United States
for $4,000 indemnity on account of the
murder of Marcus EsZagui, Il Natural
lied American citizen, in Morocco last
year.
ESZagui was of French BIRTH but the
fact that he was naturalZed as an
American citizen relieved the French
government from the necessity of join
ing in the demand for indemnity The
Moorish government pleaded as u
basis for its first declination to pay the
fact that the man was killed not by
Moorish officers, but in fight with
the rabble The claim for indemnity
however was based on the failure Of
the Moorish government to make any
effort to arrest or punish the perpetra-
tors of the murder. The navy depart
ment. at the instance of the state de-
partment, was making arrangements
to send a naval vessel to Morocco to
give moral support to the demand of
the American consul for settlement
