CANADIAN NOTES
OVERSUBSCRIBED
Three Times as Many Asked
for as Are AvaiIable-Small
Investors Favored.

Sixty seconds after subscription
books were opened yesterday for S45,-
C00,O00 Of Dominion of Canada notes
they were closed A small part Of the
notes had been withdrawn from the
sale by the bankers who purchased
the issue in the middle of last week;
for the remainder there were appli-
cations amounting to more than three
times the total available.
No information was obtainable at
the Offices Of the syndicate managers,
J. P. Morgan & Co. and Brown Broth
ers G. Co., of the amount that the
bankers retained for their own pur-
poses, except that it was relatively
small. 1t was understood, however,
that the aggregate Of outside subscrlp-
tons was well over $l00,00OC0O.
Applicants for small amounts will
get all the notes they asked for, but
the big subscribers will not fare so
well. In some cases the allotment
will not be more than % per cent OF
the subscription.
With Brown Brothers & Co. and J.
7. Morgan 90. were associated IN
the purchase Of the notes from the
Dominion government, the National
City and First National banks and the
Bank of Montreal. The last named
is the fiscal agent for the Dominion
OF Canada.
The notes are in two maturities.
There are $25,000000 Of one-year Sc
curites and $20,000,000 of two-year
Each bears interest at the rate of D
per cent and the principal is repay
able in New York or Canadian funds
at the option of the holder The one
wear maturity was offered at par and
the two-year at 99h, a price that
yields the purchaser about ga per
cent. To add attractiveness 10 the
notes it was provided that they might
be converted at par into twenty-year
Dominion of Canada per cent bonds
at any time earlier than three months
from their maturity.

LONDON'S FIRST TRAM.

The London tram was not kindly re
ceived on its first appearance in the
city in 1861. remarks "The London
Chronicle" 1t aroused much the same
indignation among citizens as the ad-
vent of the first motor bus. The form
of rail first introduced was considered
so dangerous that the tramways soon
had to be removed, after one Ct them
had been successfully indicted as a
nuisance. However, they returned
again in ten years, lines from Brixton
TO Remington and from Whitechapel
to Bow being opened in 1870. And as
proof OF the growth Of our tram sys-
tenn all over the country since the '7Os

1878 i46.00O.000 passengers were tram

THE LAST STUART BATTLE.

In the middle Of the eighteenth cen
fury the last battle was fought on the
soil of the British Isles, says a writer
in "The San Francisco Argonaut." It
partook OF the nature of domestic
strife, for while George II was n
gagged in the war Of the Austrian sue
cession Charles Edward, who was
called the young pretender, a grand
son Of King James II OF England, land
ed in Scotland and made two attempts
20 obtain the throne Of his ancestors.
He was victorious in the battle Of Fall
kirk, but the Duke Of Cumberland, son
OF George II. having been recalled
from the continent 20 take command
OF the kings forces, the pretender was
defeated at Culloden Moor. a plain n
Scotland, four miles from Inverness.
This also marked the last attempt on
the part Of the Stuart family to re
cover the throne Of Great Britain.
