Vienns. April Is - The Second Army
Corps OF Turkey is marching from itI

stsntinople, according to dispatches re.
ceiyed here today. 1t is not known
whether It's intention are TO join the
mutineerS or oppose them, as the GEN.
sorships on Turkish news is such that
the exact status of affairs is hard to
learn.
The Second Army Corps hiss hereto.
fore been loyal In its support Of the
Young Turks, but it Is believed here
that 1t has joined the movement which
overthrow the Young Turks.
II is uncomfortable here that Young
Turks will submit to the new order
without desperate sttempt to regain
their position. They are now trying
to rally their forces in several Of the
Turkish provinces and the new ministry,
If it is TO continue, must strike deci-
sive blow without delay.
A return to power OF the Young
Turks would assuredly mean the death
of the sultan and the knowledge OF this
fact bias aroused tremendous religious
enthusiasm In support of the present
regime.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL i5. 1909.

A SMALL pamphlet of Interesting
facts relating to municipal bonds hes
been issued by N. W. Halsey & Co., OF
New York, who say:
Iu view of the nature OF municipal
bonds, the quality Of the security under
living such Issues, and the protection az
forded municipal bondholders by the
oourls. as evidenced by repeated de-
cisions. such bonds have come to be re-
gatded ss premier securities. The de-
maud for them 10 the past has been Gaore
largely with savings banks, trustees, in
surauce companies, and other iuStitu-
tionsl investors. Oflate years, however,
a large demand has developed on the
mart of individuals, and it is our belief
that this demand is bound to grow, as
investors become better acquainted with
the great merits of municipal bonds as q
reliable form of Investment security.
While municipal bonds are usually pur-
chased by investors with the intent to
hold az q permanent investment until
maturity, nowadays they will generally
be found quite readily available IS COL
lateral for loans, or for resale.
The above applies to Alexandria bonds
a. we'll as to the bonds of any other city Of
her clsss. Just now this city is refund
ing her debt aud is offering for sale $3.50, F.
600 of her four per cent bond that will
prove good investment The city in
recent years has reduced her bonded in
dsbtedness from nearly million dollars
to s745. 600, about 1918, 600 of which
has been refunded. The bonds are BE-
cured by all the city's property and the
interest coupons are receivable for all
taxes, gas bills &c. due the city.

The brisk winds of the past week and
the heavy rain fall of Tuesday night and
Yesterday were followed today by bright
skies aud milder temperature. The
rain laid the dust in the cities and put
an end to the spring'drOuth which has
been prevailing for the past few weeks,
and revived the spirits of the farmers
who had begun to feel blue about hay
and pasture prospects. Flowing can
now be resumed for corn and other
spring crops and all vegetation is taking

in extinguisbing the many forest fires
which for weeks have been destroying
