searching for a set of the plates of the bank
notes of the old State Bank of this city Their
information was that set of the plates was to

The plates were found without difficulty. They
were in the possession of Adam Ludwiz. junk
dealer, in Richmond-st., but he accounted fer
their history and possession satisfactorily
The plates originally the property of the
late Colonel John ". Newell. receiver OF the
State Bank. and kept by him souve-
Mrs, together with large number of the notes
of the old bank. After mis- death d few years ago
the plates and notes were purchased, with other
junk by Ludwig. He disposed of most of the
notes TO local historians and collectors, but re-
tanned the plates as curiosites He made
secret of owning them. and never opened the
original sealed wrappers in which they were
inclosed when the banks receiver took pos
session OF them.
Ludwig was al first unwilling TO give up the
plates and the officers had no right 10 seize
them, a they were not counterfeits Of United
States money and IL was no infraction OF the
Federal law 10 have them in possession. The
Secret Service officers purchased the plates from
Ludwig, representing to him that their appear
closely resembled those from which
United States notes are printed that IL would
be better 10 destroy them. Notes OF this old
bank have recently appeared in circulation In
several parts OF the United States. and arrests,

FIGHTING FOR A FORLORN HOPE.
LORD KITCHENER DESCRIBES THE RESIST
ANCE OF THE BOFRS.

London, Aug. 21.-In n dispatch dated July g.
detailing the condition Of affairs at the front at
that time Lord Kitchener says:
There are no more than II. 500 Beers now un-
der arms Although they not able longer to
undertake extensive operations, their apparently
inexhaustible supplies Of food enable them TO
maintain obstinate resistance without
tanning anything or defending the smallest por-
tion of this vast country.
The wearing down process is necessarily slow,
rendering the employment of a large gambler of
troops still necessary. Great pateSce is still
required to the inevitable end of an nsensate
resistance which, while II cannot affect the
suit. has become unjustihable in frolonging the
war and the sufferings of women and children.
Since this dispatch was written the losses of
the Beers have brought their forces down to
about ! 600
