MISSING.
icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l

Washington. April 1.-THE Treasury Depart
ment and the authorities of the State of Louisi
are trying TO secure a final settlement of the
old Louisiana State bonds. These bonds, original
ly amounting to 81. .4I6,OOO, were confiscated by
General p. H. Sheridan at Shreveport. La.
July II, 1865, but the capture occurred after
the war had officially ended the National Gov
ernment has claimed title to them.
From time to time, upon Identification by
proper State officers, certain certificates have
been delivered. until the value of those remain
ing in the Treasury is now not more than Solo,
600. A short time ago the Louisiana legisat-
ure appointed agent go TO Washington. to
find out what bonds still in the care of the
government. and upon his report Governor
Heard of Louisiana came to Washington and
made a personal examination of the account
More recently one of the Louisiana representa-
tives in Congress became interested in the
States claim and called upon the Treasurer to
furnish to him a complete statement. giving
full information about the dates and numbers
of the certificates which have been turned over
to the State Treasury. 1t has developed in this
investigation that number of the bonds.
amounting TO several hundred thousand dol
lars, for which the National Treasury holds
descriptive receipts, apparently missing
from the State Treasury. Until they be
located it is not likely that Louisiana will make
formal demand for the remaining bonds known
to be in the vaults of the Treasury Department.
There is some mystery as to the whereabouts
Of the missing bonds II would appear that they
had been misappropriated by State off,
Ger. but officials call attention to the fact that
at the time of the confiscation Of these bonds
many of Louisianas State records were 6e-
strOyed and removed. 1t may be that the bonds
supposed to be lost were returned within a few
months after they captured. and not ac-
curately recorded The State authorities will
be fully advised of all the facts. that they
can make a more thorough search. The descrip
ton of the missing certificates has been with
held for the present by the Department.

Tacoma, Wash, April l4.-The steamship

This result is the elimination OF one of the
strange dramas for which the Corean capital
has long been noted. 1t seems that the entire
court at Seoul is divided between the Kim fac
ton, which is pro-Japanese, and represents the
alleged aspirant the throne. and the Min fac
ton, which is pro-Russian. and backs the claim
of the Prince Imperial. Minister Kim Van
Chuns plot involved taking Lady ON and her
son out. az the palace, tor Tear the opposiIi
forces would imprlson or kill them. The Min
faction learned of these plans and. gathering
their forces. made open attack Kim Yam

temporarily successful, and in consequence Min

HEHAD MEsSAGE FOR SCANNELL
POLICEMAN WHO ARRESTED SWIFT RIDING
WHEELMAN WONDERING WHAT
WILL BECOME OF HIM

Bicycle Policeman Worst yesterday arrested a
young man who came down Broadway and
flashed by Thirty-sixth-st. at a fourteen-mile-
an-hour pace.
"Le'me go. le'me go; I got message for
Scannell. Commissioner Scannell." protested the
rider. I'm on me way to the Seneca Club, at
No. 20 West Twenty-seventh-st That's why
I'm in such hurry. or 1 wouldn't ride SO fast,
dye see?"
That's all right, sonny, but Scanneu amt
biggern the law replied Worst. Come along
to the station and We'll let the sergeant fix it
up" AT the West Thirtieth-st. station the rider
SAID he was Charles StoerZer, twenty-siX years
old, Of Third ave. He repeated that he had
message for Commissioner Scannell
Usually scorchers are allowed to go at once if
they leave their wheels for bail, but the SER
geanl seemed diSincined to allow StoerZer to
do this, thinking the man posing as a
friend of the Commissioner without warrant
StoerZer pulled out letters and other documents
to prove he had message for the Tammany
chieftain, and then he was allowed to go, His
bicycle was held to assure his presence in court.
Policeman Worst did not seem happy at Stoer-
zers parting salutation to him, "Pu get you

EMPEROR WANTED IN PEKLNG.
HIS PRESENCE WITH SOLDIERS NEEDED
TO SOLVE THE MANCHURIAN
TROUBLES.

Peking, April 14.-Komoura Yutaro. the Jap
anese minister accompanied by General Yama-
guchi, the Japanese commander, recently called
upon Prince Ching and told him that the return
of Emperor Kwang Su to Peking was urgently
desired. Prince Ching informed that the
Emperor's wishes would be respected by the for
eign troops, and that every courtesy would be
shown him.
1t was pointed out to the Chinese plenipoten-
tiary that the Emperor's return was Of the high
est possible Importance as affecting the main
tenance of the integrity Of the Chinese Empire.
and that he should accompanied by every
available soldier, by at least 10000 men If pos
sible. These troops, il was further said by the
Japanese minister. must be sent into Manchurla,
as the Russians reported great disturbance
there. and it right that the task or
quelng the trouble should be thrown upon the
shoulders of one nation Finally, Prince ChinS
assured that if the 10000 Chinese troops
could not suppress the disorders in Manchuria
other powers would send international force
to cooperate with China, which all the powers
regarded as friendly power.
No reply having been received to this COM
munication notice to the same effect was given
Ii Hung Chang to-day, and he was told that
Emperor Kwang Su must give immediate
answer.
Prince Ching says all his reports go to snow
that the missionary statements regarding a re-
bellion in Mongolia are not supported by the
facts Neither does he believe that the rebellion
of General Tung Flu Hsiang amounts to much

dition of constant broil, rendering it unsafe for
the foreign troops to be withdrawn. Those VINO
have this in view will magnify a village quarrel
into big rebellion. The missionaries, naturally
timid take these reports in good faith
The conduct OF the ministers of the powers
over the negotiations with the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries causes much adverse comment among
the military authorities. Their dilatory tactics
have prevented what might have been accom-
plished two months ago. Even now the meet
ings of the ministers postponed Tor the
most trivial causes. For instance, the desire OF
one minister to go a picnic to the tomps OF
the Ming dynasty prevented the holding of
meeting for a number of days. Then M de
Giers and other ministers insisted upon cele-
surned In q third case unnecessary visit by
one minister to Tien-Tsin held up the negotla-
tions for four days These are fair illustrations
of what has been almost continuous from the
beginning.

making for an early start indicate tnat they
still expect war between Russia and Japan
