Loxpox, June 17.—A rather lively affair oc- curred today at the theater built in this city for Mr. Augustin Daly, the well- known New York theatrical manager. The structure is almost completed, and it is Mr. Daly's intention to open the theater on June 27. The contractor in charge of certain of the decorations employed a num- ber of men who did not belong toa union to decorate the boudoir intended for the use of Miss Ada Rehan. ‘The fact that these men were non-unionists excited the ire of the unionists employed about the theater, and they decided to strike unless the non-unionists were discharged. “The black legs” were not discharged, and today the unionists refused to work. Further- more, they attempted todrive the aon-unionists from the building, but in this they were un- successful and wore themselves ejected. The | trike will not cause any delay in opening the theater on the date set by Mr. Daly. > ZIMMERMAN SAILS. t ‘The American Champion Bicyclist Leaves Southampton. Loxvos, June 17.—Arthur A. Zimmerman, the American champion amateur bicycle rider, | sailed today from Southampion for New Yor ou the American line steamer Paris. Zimmer- man intended to take part in tho championship races of the National Cyclist Union of England, but as he declined to ride on any but a machine of his own selection he was refused a license to ride as an amateur. He therefore decided to take part in no races here, but to return to the United States. It was thought that Sanger, the American bicyclist, would return to America with Zim- mermun, but he changed his mind and remained behind. He took part in the Dulwich mile race, which took place on the Hernhill track today. He proved himself superior to the other contest- ants, winning the race in 3 minutes 49 3-5 sec- onda. Harriv was scoond and Pope third. ‘The track at the Hernhill grounds has a smooth board floor and is very fast. It is blan: keted all the way around and the bankiny very high on the turns, There are three and a half laps to the mile. —._—_—_ AMUSEMENTS.

AN OUTSIDE COMPANY Recommended by the Brick Commission— The Tests That the Samples Were Sub- mitted to—Mr. Holbrook Speaks for Home Industries—Other District Matters. “Home industries should be patronized, everything else being equal. So spoke President T. L. Holbrook of the Washington Brick Machine Company iu his opening address to the Commissioners this morning. It was a special meeting of the board, called of Mr. Holbrook, to consider the award of the contract for furnishing the Dis- trict with paving brick and for the purpose of investigating the teats of the brick commission at the reque and its recommendation in the matter.

Steps have been taken by the Attorney Gen- eral, at the instance of the Secrotary of War, to condemn a parcel of lund in Mont- gomery county near the District line for the purpose of improving the receiving reservoir of the Washington aque- duct. This is in accordance with the project of Col.

No Naval Vessel Yet Selected to Proceed to Those Waters. No selection has yet been made of naval vessel to proceed to Samoa, Navy Department has not yet been requested formally to send « ship. The reason, undoubtedlv, is that the available unde- tached naval force in the Pacific is | known to be inadequate. It is believed to be bad policy to take either the Boston or the Adams away from the Hawaiian Islands at this juncture. The presence of the Alliance, which sailed today from Panama, in Peru is felt to be very necessary, and ‘the little incapable practically ‘unarmed Thetis, which is the only remaining seagoing vessel on the Pacific const, can wcarcely meet the needs of the care. At present the matter is under considera- tion by the cabinet, and it may be that the decision finally reached will be to order the Philadeiphia or some of the other vessels on the Atlantic coast, now fitting out for the Pacific #tation, to proceed to Samoa as soon as the necessary preparations can be made, —— PURE MILK. | i Prof. Hird Examining Samples of Milk Brought to the City.

THE REGISTER’S FIGURES Estimates Made in Census Reports—Bet ween Eighteen and Nineteen Millions of Regis- tered Bonds Estimated to Be Owned Abroad—Difaculty of Obtaining Data. Mr. 8. G. Brock. chief of the burean of sta- tistics, recently addressed a letter to the Trexs- ury Department making certain inquiries as to the amount of United States bonds owned abroad at the present time. ferred to Acting Register H. H. Smith, who to- day made the following repl; From the nature of the case it is not posei- ble to give any estimate of the amount of coupon bonds et present heid abroad which would be more than a very roughapproxima- tion. Being payable to bearer they pass by de- livery without notice to the department. To Prepare a statement of the amount of registered bonds owned abroad would re- quire a large amount of work and be involved in quite a little uncertainty when done. Much the larger portion of the regis- tered bonds owned abroad or at least owned by those having foreign names and titles is con- trolled by American agents, and frequently the residence of the owner is unknown or in doubt. So far as I am aware the only serious attempt to make an estimate of the amount of bonds owned in foreign countries was in connection with the censns of 1880—see volume eight, Pages 489 to 520. In regard to coupon bonds Teports were obtained from all the prin- cipal bankers in the United States who dealt in American securities, showing the amount of coupons in connection with one dividend received trom abroad. From this it was possible to ascertain the amount of the coupe of the bonds from which they had en detached. and this was assumed to be ap- proximately the amount of coupon bonds held abroad. ‘The estimate given was for coupon bonds, as follows: Loans, feercont bends, Piven cont bonds ber cent bonds 6 per cent bouds. Total., 08,425 587,522,250 At the time of the taking of the census of 1880 the interest upon the 6 per cent registered bonds due in 1880 and 1851 was payable upon schedules prepared in this oaice and forwarded to the treasurer of the United States and his assistants in ten of the principal cities of the country. The ownersor their agents called at the treasury or subtressuries and receipted on the scheduies for the amounts due them. The ad- dresses of the owners usualiy were not given upon the schedules, snd the difficulties in- volved iu securing them were so serious that apparently it was not considered worth while to attempt to obtain them. The amount upon these 6 per cent schedules was $190,926,700. The interest upon registered bonds of the Inter loans (vir: those at 4 per centand 434 and 5 per cont) was in 1880 payable, ax it is now, by checks for interest forwarded to the owners or to their representatives. Summaries were pre- pared from the interest schedules payable on or near July 1, 1880, from which it appeared that the amounts owned by foreign holders and , be total amounts of registered bonds on these three loans were as follows: ‘Heid by Foreign Total Register- Loans.

On the Ist of the present month the amounts of bonds ontetand- ing upon current loans were as follows: Coupon bonds, 72,860,850; registered bunds, eo. 102,200. ‘An approximate estimate of the amount of United States registered bonds owned abroad is 818,500,000. ‘This includes both the bonds of holders who reccive their interest direct from the Treasury Department and bonds of foreign owners who for convenience have their interest lives, for some extensive investments have been made by persons of foreign birth who have taken up a residence in the United States, and a foreign name is no certain indication of foreign residence.

Henry Clews’ “Weekly Financial Review,” irsued today, says: “Affairs in Wall street are in an oscillating condition. Although the im- provement in tone and confidence that set in last week is still maintained, yet a series of small disturbances have one after another come to the surface, which have prevented the realt- zation of any fixed and important advance in the value of securitien. Even the most favor- able events seem to have a dark side, which counteracts their influence. The active for- warding of western produce for export, while it has stopped the export of gold, has also had the effect of drawing very large amounts of cur- reney to the interior, and the local money market has consequently become unsettled. ‘This demand for currency, however. seems to have ite climax, atid ‘today's bank state- ment is likely to show a decline last week in the net loss of currency. The western banks appear to have now money enough to handle the grain movement: and as two months must elapse before the movement from this city to the west sets in, it is within probability that, in the course of a week or two, we may witness some retarn of the currency sent to the interior within the last two weeks; the more so us the west will now be enabled to remit on account of postponements of payments to the east that have occurred under the late extreme string- ency of credits, ‘The city banks have found some compensation for their shypments of cur- rency westward in liberal receipts of money was being done, but did it, He wason the second yy pe oy mediate ar: Browns Me: Prec and. that order.

To one—the action of ine clearing house—we have already made reference. The other is, in broad sense, still more vitally important.
