SOUTH DAKOTA COLLECTS.
North Carolina Pays Repudiated Rail-
road Bonds.


Des Moinas, April S.-Information
the attorney general of North Carolina
has deposited with the clerk Of the
supreme court of the United States
the sum of $4,000 to satisfy the judg-
ment obtained recently by South Dako-
to on account Of bonds held, by the
latter and issued by the former.
These bonds were presented to the
state of South Dakota, in effect, by the
private citizens who owned them. They
could not sue the state, of course, but
a state can sue another and when
South Dakota secured title to the bonds
she brought suit before the United
States court to get judgment.
The bonds in question were railroad
issues which were guaranteed by
North Carolina. North Carolina repud-
lated them and the private individuals
who owned them had no hope of getting
back their good money till Senator
Pettigrew and others conceived the idea
that If the bonds were turned over
to a state they could be collected.
The default occurred about thirty
years ago and the $4,000 represents
the principal and interest on bonds
amounting to $4,000. Since the princi-
pie has been established that North
Carolina must make the bonds good
if they are presented by a state for
payment, it is supposed the most of the
issues will become valuable and that
state can be found which will act as
agent in collecting them for per cent
of the amount collected.
Iowa was offered $4,000 of these
bonds. which would amount in all to
about $4,000 now. The governor
turned down the offer. 1t is not thought
to be the best kind of business to go
into the mission of collecting repud-
lated debts of this character But some
other state probably will profit In the
sum of millions.

with the avowed weakness of the Mo-

our consuls for support. We seek to
make the Moroccan authorities under
stand the practical advantages of hav-
ing the nominal, precarious authority
OF the sultan fortified and extended so
that the condition of the population
may be ameliorated. We put this be-
fore them mildly as friends, and will
continue our task with the tranquility
Of people who are wronging no one and
who contemplate nothing wrong to
the interests Of anyone"

announcement that Rojestvensky's S
squadron was passing Singapore, but
tho admiralty does not admit that it
has received official confirmation of
the report. In fact officials have OBJ
served unusual reticence for some
