allowed TO wrap his tongue around the
English language and discharge misin-
formation at the rate Of 600 misses
per minute.
The senate is composed largely Of
men who ere not in need Of ready
money and can look an overdue laun-
dry bill iu the face without a tremor.
There is a great deal of wealth in the
senate. but it is not making so much
noise as Il used to- This is due TO the

heavy losses were sustained but on the

Check for $43,538,BIH
In Payment For Steel Bond
Issue Is Gi0en In New York.

New York, April S--One of the larg-
est checks that has ever been paid in
the United States passed through the
New York clearing house during the
past week. It called for the transfer Of
funds amounting to S43.B3s.131.11 in
payment for bonds Of one of the steel
companies which have recently been
sold by a syndicate Of bankers.
So far as could be recalled, there have
been only four other checks drawn in
the whole history OF American finance
for amounts approaching that repre-
scented in. this check. The largest check
which has ever been drawn in this
country was for s62,075, 900 in payment
for a sale of bonds fsf one OF the large
railroad companies. which also received
a check for $40, 100000 early last year
as a result of a bond issue. In May.
1904. the secretary of the treasury came
to New York with check for $4,000
600 which the United States govern
ment paid to the French syndicate in
the Panama canal purchase. In the
same year a check for $4,000, 900 was
turned over to the Mexican government
in connection with an issue OF Mexican
bonds.
