SOUTHERN WAR BONDS.
Governors of -Four States Which Re-
undated Them to Meet.

Atlantic CITY n j. June 8 (SpeciaD.-A con-
ference of the Governors of four Southern
States will be held here within the next ten
days. Governor Glenn. already here. will be one
OF the conferrees. and the others are expected in
a day two.
These Governors have facing them the ques-
ton lately reopened over the repudiated
bonds of their respective States. North Caro-
lima alone has war bonds amounting to S10.-
100000 outstanding, which have been outlawed
by acts of the State legislature and by pro-
vision in the State constitution. 1t appears that
certain of the States have passed acts
to accept Southern war bonds and to bring suit
for collection against the State issuing them.
South Dakota received bonds of this kind and
the United States court held that while suit
could not be brought by individual for the
amount of the bonds one State could sue an
other.
The State of New-York has acquired vast
sum in war bonds OF North Carolina, and it was
TO come TO some understanding regarding set
tIement that Governor Glenn visited Albany
and consulted with Governor Higgins and other
State officials.
The question of Southern bonds" said
Governor Glenn. "is that is involving many
of the Southern States. There seems to be much
complication connected with the same. The
bonds have in mind where North Carolina is
concerned have been bought up by NewYork
syndicate as a speculation They thought that
they could do as did South Dakota to collect
them. 1t happens, however, that the South
Dakota bonds were issued to complete rail-
road and secured by stock in another
railroad company. The payments made
a basis of % cents on the dollar, the amount
they sold for, plus interest. The other bonds
issued by the carpet bag government are worth
less, and they are in the nature of political
bonds
Il went to New-Yo for a conference with
Governor Higgins on this subject. 1 informed
him that any attempt to would only mean
costly litigation for both New-York and North
Carolina. as my State would not pay them, and
there was no court in the land which would
decide that they ought to be paid when the con-
oitions under which they were issued We're taken
into consideration"

[BY rrLEGRApH 40 THE TRIBUNE.


Los Angeles. Cal. July 9.-In special train
consisting of Pullman sleeper, diner and a
baggage car. Walter Scott, the once poor mining
prospector, left Los Angeles on the Santa Fe
Railroad at 1 o'clock this afternoon. and to the
cheers of 1000 onlookers started record
breaking trip to Chicago and New-York.
The Santa Fe road has agreed to land "Scotty
in Chicago in forty-fve hours or forfeit $500
of the $500 in gold paid IN advance for the
train which made the first 141 miles in 141 min
utes. The miner is trying to arrange by telegraph
to continue his journey to New York at a record
breaking speed. and he talks of chartering an
ocean steamer to make sensational voyage to
England.
The railroad trip with all its champagne and
accessories. will cost him about $4,000. The
larder stocked like that of prince. He
took along his wife, two boon companions. repre-
sentatives of all the local newspapers. and last
but not least, a NANCY yellow dog, picked out
of the streets, for which "Scotty" bought a
$1,000 diamond collar. "Scotty' says he is go
ing to give the dog the time of his life"
I'm going to feed him till he almost bursts"
said this latest Monte Cristo. for 1 was yellow
dog once myself"
Scott has discovered a bona fde gold mine In
the Mojave Desert. 1t is located in Death
Valley, an almost inaccessible place-just where
nobody knows. He disappears for two months
at time and comes out loaded with gold, which
he spends as fast as he can.

his appointment as assistant to the white post

of the Iandins on the island Of saghalisn is
generally admitted. both in newspaper comment

of the island Is regarded as foresole con-

The "Novoe vremya" voices the general sen

powerful argument in the possession OF Japan

gible to throw into the scales with the sword
at the coming conference.
There is a divergency Of opinion with regard
to the effect which the occupation viii have
on the negotiations at Washington. some Of the
war party saying that it makes peace at the
present juncture more impossible than before.
as Japan will be able to demand the cession OF
the island and heavy indemnity as well. but
the more prevalent view is that japan has now
in her hands enough trumps to take the game.
The attack on the island certainly dissipates
one of the hopes OF the peace advocates. who
have been suggesting that its voluntary cession
might be an offset with Port Arthur and the
