Union., will have to face within the next five years. The money is pouring into the school fund, and, under the Constitution. shall not be invested or loaned except upon United States or State securities or registered county bonds of this State"
 The State is now attempting to pro- cure $300,000 of Massachusetts bonds, but it awaiting the decision of the Nebraska Supreme Court on a test case brought within the last week before completing the purchase. The bonds were offered to the Nebraska board, consisting of Sec retary of State Marsh. Land Commis- sioner Follmer, Treasurer Stuefer and At- torney-General Prout. The board has that sum of schools funds still uninvest- ed and greedily jumped at the offer. as the bonds are forty-year gold bonds. drawing 3 1,2 per cent interest and con- tain no option of previous payment. But the question arose as to whether the words "State securities" meant Nebraska securities or those of any other State ip the Union. It is to decide this point that the present test case has been brought.
 It is regarded here as an indication of the growth of the West, that a young Western State Is already in a position to buy the obligations of the older States of the East. If the pending test case be decided favorably. Nebraska will be seen on the Easterne market almost monthly seeking State securities, these being deem- ed preferable tos Government bonds in one respect, that of the higher rate of in- terest obtainable because of reduction iE the amount of premium required to bl paid,

MIRKO'S LOVE LETTERS
FRINGE MAY LOSE THRONE ON
 THEIR ACCOUNT.
Actress to Whom They Were Written Bought on by Mirko's Envoy, Who Turned Traitor to His
 Employer.

Vienna, Dec. 1.-Some stolen love letters may cost Prince Mirko second son of the reigning Prince of Montenegro, his cher ished ambition to ascend the Servian throne. for which, in the event of King Alexander having no heir. he is a strong candidate.
 Prior to Prince Mirko's marriage last July with Natalie Constantinovitch, daughter of the Grand Uncle of King All exander he had a love affair with Ser vian actress and wrote her many letters containing criticisms on the policy of several European States. The Czar and German Emperor were especially hard hit, while the Servian people were slight ingiy and scornfully referred to.
 After his marriage. Prince Mirko sent trusted adjutant to buy the letters from the actress She readily sold them. but the adjutant, who is a native of Servia, sold them to the Servian government for a considerable sum after having had printed copies made. In the event of the Montenegrin dynasty making any active move to acquire the Servian throne 1t Is anticipated that the publication of the letters would alienate Prince Mirko' servian friends and ruin his prospects of succeeding King Alexander.

coNCHA IS RELIEVED.
His Delay in Canal Negotiations the
 Cause.

Washington, Dec. l.-Senor Concha has been relieved as Minister from Colombia bv orders from Bogota and 1t is believed that pr. Thomas Herran, the present Sec retary of the Legation here, will be ac- credited as Minister to succeed Senor Concha, in the course of few days
 Meanwhile pr. Herran has been clothed by his government with full authority to prosecute the negotiations looking to canal treaty with considerably enlarged powers.
 Minister Concha having stood fast against several strong representations from his own government favoring, a treaty, the latter decided to place the further negotiations in the hands or Dr. Herran. It is, of course. assumed from this course that the chances of the treaty have been bettered.
 It Is believed that the question of soV- ereignty which has thus far held up the negotiations of treaty Is in fair way to be settled between Colombia's new representative and Secretary Hay. There is no doubt but that the State Depart rnent will give its cordial assent to the succession of Dr. Herran as Minister.
 pr. Fferran called at the State Depart ment today and acquainted Acting Sec retary Hill with the facts in the case.
