London. Feb. 81 Pierpont Morgan

tomorrow after a ten days stay here,
IN which he succeeded completely in
Keeping his presence from becoming
known publicly in one OF the greatest
iucognito feats on record.
During his stay here Mr.. Morgan,
together with Thomas W. Lamont,
opened negotiations for conversion of
British government short-term notes
INTO long-term securities.
This will include the balance of the
twenty-year 81 bonds not taken up
by the noteholders, to whom they will
be offered in exchange for the note
maturing March l.
This step is taken by the British
government owing to the necessity of
adjusting the exchange rate as well
as the necessity OF raising money.

COL. PENDLETON,
VETERAN, DEAD
Picturesque Civil War
Soldier Was Member of
Mosby's Band. 4

Col. C. Mason Pendleton, prominent
in Capital society, and once a MEM
Der of the famous Mosby band of Con-
federate raiders, is dead at his home,
PIG Eighteenth street, northwest.
In the guerilla warfare of Mosby
Col. Pendleton's optic nerve was af-
fected, causing total blindness during
his last years. Although regarded as
one of the handsomest men OF the old
school in Washington, few knew that
he was blind, no outward evidence of
the fact being visible.
Largely on account of this handicap, },
Col. Pendleton retired from public
life shortly after visiting the New
Orleans exposition in 1883, as COM
missioner from the State of West
Virginia. He came to Washington in
1886, and had lived here ever since.
Col. Pendleton was one of the fore
most spirits in the Southern Society,
and in the United Confederate Vet
eranS
One of the anecdotes related of his
career as a raider ascrtbe to him the
robbery of his own father IN line of
duty. ,a .a
The elder Pendleton was acting as
for the union forces. He
was going along a road with pay for
his regiment when he was ambushed
by Col. Mosby's band Of guerillas.
The son took the money, according
to the story.
Full military honors will be ac-
corded at the interment tomorrow in
Cemetery. The late colonel
will be laid to rest in the shadow of
the Confederate monument.
His one survivor is his brother, f.
Gray Pendleton. of Palm Beach.
