FINANCE.

What is regarded in Washington as
the finest bargain offered to New York
bankers In recent years will be brought
by Senior FREDERICK Velasquez minister
of finance for Santo Domingo who has
sailed for New York to float the long
pending Dominican loan of $20,000,00
which is to be secured by bond issue
bearing FIVE per cent interest, prac-
tically guaranteed by the United States
government. and, aside from the fact
that they will be subject to taxation
and that they cannot be deposited by
national banks as security for govern
ment deposit or for circulation. are
pronounced by the few financiers who
have investigated the object as good as
United States bonds. Officers of the
United States government will con.
tinue to collect the Dominican Gus
toms under the terms of the treaty
ratified last session. and will pay into
the hands of the trustees, who will
pay the interest and accumulate the
sinking fund, Sl,200,000 a year; the
remainder of the custom receipts, at
ter the cost of collection shall have
been deducted, to be covered into tht
| Dominican treasury. The bonds mus
be sold at 90, will run for forty years
and bear interest at per cent, and
may be redeemed at the end of ter
years at 1902 IL. Three million three
hundred thousand dollars is already de
posted toward the sinking fund, in the
National City Bank of New York draw
ing interest at 1-2 per cent.
The control of the customs houses
in Santo Domingo by the United States
has prevented all revolutions, as wa,
predicted by the late Secretary Hay
as the customs receipts constituted
the only incentive TO revolution, ant
thus the permanent tranquility of tn,
Dominican government Is insured. Tn,
loan about to be floated will pay OF
all foreign creditors, obvlating all dan
ger of interference from other gov
ernments

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1iamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is Moth
ing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrl) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

that Mr.. and Mrs. Charles d. Tiffany,

Yesterday, will get along without any
words, not because they have both been

THE LUTHERAN SYNOD.
Cedar Rapids Delegate Starts Contest
In State Convention.

Special To Times Republcah.
Sioux City, Oct. IA stir was ere
ated in the convention of the Iowa
Evangelical Lutheran church by the
introduction of a resolution by G. w.
Maggart. of Cedar Rapids, demanding
that pastors OF only mature experience
be elected to the general synods of the
church. He further asks that they be
at the head of charge for four years
before they can qualify.
A number of delegates were instantly
on their feet in opposition to the pro-
posed resolution and condemned such
a proceeding. The matter was laid on
feeling among the clergy that
the resolution is unconstitutional
and therefore not valid. 1t is expected
the new ruling will either be with
drawn or voted down on the floor OF
the convention.
This is the most important day of
the sessions and more actual work
is being done than any other single
day. The synod this morning pledged
itself to raise $4,000 toward the $780,
900 being raised for Carthage college
in Illinois, President i. l.. Sigmund,
of the institution, is here in the inter
ests of his school. He says to date
$61,00 has been subscribed and
he expects to get the balance of the
sum before next June at which time
the college will receive another $780,
600 from Henry Denhart, wealthy
banker of Washington, ILL.,, who offered
the college the money, provided 1t
raised an equal amount Added to this
will be $4,000 from Andrew Carnegie,
who gives the amount Internationally
to build science hall.
