About $4,000,000 re- mains to be paid amount paid at the close of the week was $107,287,700, of which $96,397,550 has been on account of the principal, $10,734,879 on account of premium and $155,271 for ac- erved interest. It will not be surprising, so far as domestic demands are concerned, if the completion of the payments is followed by dimfinished redemptions, without any effect upon the treasury. $49,676 of the money paid for the bonds to remain in the hands of naticnal banks. The amount originally paid into the banks on deposit for the government was $31,606,. 756, but of this only $5,612,163 in gold and $10,237,513 Im currency is still Lands. A considerable number of the benks which hope to obtain the new bonds and to use them as a basis of circulation have notified Controller Eckels that they failed to obtain the bonds upon the original allotment and have not found it profitable to buy them in the market. This being the case, they will not take out the circulation which they ordered early in the year. It is estimated that about $6,000,000 of new notes will thus remain unissued for the present. Letters were addressed recently to sume forty barks instructing them that notes were ready in compliance with their orders, and inquiring why they did, not take them. The circulation during will probably not increase much over $1,000,000, which will carry the~ national bank-note circulaticn at the end of the month to $222,500, an increase of about $10,000,000 since Jan- uary 31, before the new bonds were avail- able as a basis of circulation. Some of the notes thus neglected by the banks for the present may be put to use later in the year, in case there should be a sharp de- mand for money to move the crops or to meet an expended volume of business.

The results of the recent bond sale con- tinue to be viewed with reagonable satis- faction at the Treasury Department, but grave doubt exists in administration cir- cles whether these results w!ll be perma- nent or will restore business activity.

The Administration Theory. The theory which appears to be gaining &rcund among friends of the administra- tion is that European investors distrust countries whose financial system rests upon legal tender paper money, and that some assurance of its abo#ftion is required, such a8 was given by Austria in 1892, in order to restore confidence in our credit and sol- vency. As the treasury eae today, while the gold reserve is sufficient for present needs anti will probably enable the present administration to refrain from another is- sue of bonds, it is felt that currency troubles ure likely to continue, and.to prove a disturbing factor under the next admin- istration. It will be an embarassing prob- lem, it is claimed, for the republican nomi- nee, if he becomes President, to have to con- sider within 2 month of his inauguration whether he shall direct another issue of bonds under existing law, or shall supinely permit the country to go again to a paper basis. Business anxiety would be intensi- fied if there were any doubt which course the new President might take, and a repeti- tion of the panic of 18%3 might occur if there were any apparent hesitation on the part of the administration. These considera- tions may be urged by President Cleveland in such a way as to constitute a strong motive with his political opponents to do something during the present Congress to require the cancellation of paper money redeemed in gold, or to permit the issue of gold bonds upon more favorable terms than coin bonds can be issued under existing law.

A step ladder was procured, and the offi- cers saw through the transom that several of the Chinamen were seated about a table enjoying a game of what the Chinamen said was “Fan-tan.” Dominoes, chips and money were piled on the table, and so the officers then walked in. At the door they met an intoxicated Chinaman, but he would give no information, for he was too much intoxicated to talk. Even the appearance of the officers did not frighten those about the table, for they continued to play the game until told that the house was raided. Then they were informed that Wah Lee wes having a birthday party. Supper had been spread for the guests earlier in the evening, and remnants of the feast were still on the table. Wah furnished security, was released. otvhen the case reached Judge Miller's court, Charlie Bing was there to interpret the testimony of his fellow countrymen, and Lawyer Sillers defended the 7th street laundryman. The usual defense was made. If the Chinamen were to be believed, they were playing dominoes for fun, and the presence of muney on the table had noth- ing to do with the game. One of Lee’s guests said he owed the money to another ong of the party, and had put it on the table for him. . “This is the same old story,” the judge said. “It’s just what was said in another cese against a Chinaman.” Lawyer Sillers argued that his client ought not to be convicted, for he said he was entertaining his friends at a birthday party. He was doing nothing more than Americans do every day, said counsel, and certainly he ought not to be convicted. “And Americans are convicted every day for doing the same thing,” remarked the court, The judge saw no reason why an exception should be made in the case of a celestial. As it was a small game, the court imposed a fine of only $10 and gave the Chinaman one day in jail. Sess Hotel Arrivals. Riggs—J. K. Easton, Decorab, Iowa; G. M. McGuilly, St. Louis, Mo.; W. H.

To the Editor of The Evening: Star: There lived, many, yedts ago, a family of Houghtons in the small,town of Stamford, Vermont, just five) miles from the busy manufacturing towt.of<North Adams, in Massachusetts, the nearest ra#road station. ‘Two bothers, Andrsw J-'and Albert C., left this old hill town in Mr. Powers’ district to make the!r fortune and get an education. Albert C. settled in North Adams, where he is the leading manufacturer and the first mayor of the “tunnel city.” Andrew J. set- tled in Boston and Gied recently, having made a fortune also as a manufacturer. Now comes Albert C., the democratic mayor of the republican city of North Adams—be- cause he has the esieem of all parties—and only last week presented to the city a mag- nificent free public library property, worth $100,000, as a memorial to his late brother. How can Mr. Powers resist the influence of this action of one born in his district? The government clerks of Washington and their families, numbering. 50,000 or more of the population, hope he may do for Washing- ton as handsomely as Mr. Houghton did for North Adams, or at least withdraw his objection to the measure before Congress HOOSAC, ih inc bes.

SILVER MEN'S CLAIMS ‘They Will Control: the Democratio Convention at Chicago. ~ | SEGCOLATION AS 10 THE CANDIDATES Aid Expected From Republicans in the West. GOLD MEN AND CLEVELAND —— The carrying of Alabama by the silver men is practically a confirmation of all the white metal people have claimed in regard to the south. There has never been any doubt about any of the southern states, except Alabama, and possibly Louis- jana, It is not now thought that Virginia is a doubtful state. The majority of the congressional aspirants in that state have declared themselves for silver. Outside of Richmond it is said that every district Is for siiver. The democratic situation is now begin- ning to clear up to some extent. The doubt which has surrounded the complexion of the national corvention at Chicago seems to be dispelled. The silver men’ are claim- ing that they will control the convention. The “sound money” champions and leati- Ts admit that, the “heresy” which they hought was a corpse is a powerful lively institution. So confident are the silverites that they will have things their way that they are planning who the nominees shall be and what kind of a platform they will put out. What Will the Flatform Bet Senator Dubois’ public statement that the republicans of the west would support a silver democrat for President is regarded by the friends of the white metal as voie- ing the sentiments of more than one west- ern Senator. It is said that they know what the feeling of the people of their sec- tion is. It is even asserted that Seaator Dubois has the backing of the republican executive committee of his state. Politi- clans have for some time figured out that there would be a bolt at St. Louis, and that the silver men would say to the dem- ocrats at Chicago: Give us a thoroughly trustworthy silver man and the right kind of a platform, and we will help you carry the country this fall. Conceding that the nominee will be for silver, what kind of 2 platform would suit the westerners? Of course, there would have to be a declaration for silver. Next, the westerners would want something for protection; that is, if there was any decla- ration on that subject at all. To catch the silver men and the populists it is felt that the national democratic convention must deal dexterously with other prob- cms. Should the convention take a pro- nounced stand for the present tariff sys- tem there is a doubt if the support from the west would be as cordial as is now supposed. Indications have pointed for menths at the fact that there has been a rapidly changing feeling on the tariff ques- tion among the democrats, but it is not likely that the feeling will have reached a strength or a boldness sufficient to effect any material change when a platform ccmes to be made. As silver is the goal tor which all are striving, could the demo- crats afford to offend their western ailies by taking any bold stand on the tariff question? Could they afford to make ceneessions in the way of protection to certain western industries? Could the convention afford to ignore the tariff ques- tion altogether and take the position that the financial disease 1s the one from which the country is suffe: Would that look like a backdown or cowardiy makeshift on the part of the democrats? All these and many more questions will have to be considered by the silver men if they control at Chicago. There are many democrats who feel that the execution of the present tariff laws has not been a suc- cess, and that there will have to be a change ifthe défocrats shall win this year: | Who Will the Candidate Bet The candidate the silver men will put up is believed to be worrying them more than such questions ought to worry a faction which looks for victory. Boies is thougnt to be looming up now as the one man suit- able to the occasion. Many republicans think he would take among the republicans of the west, but there are others who do not think he is extreme enough or has the backbone to resist pressure that might be brought on him should he be elected President. If Matthews had come out boldly on the question, it is asserted in scme quarters that he would be standing now as the hero of the silver democrats, j but his silence has produced suspicion, which will be hard to clear away should he take a pronounced stand hereafter. The talk of Morrison has about died out. At the time the silver men thought they were going to be in the minority at the convention, it is said that they were glad enough to add their praises to Colonel Morrison as the bést man for the place, but now that they think they have the same well in their hands they look to somebody else. They don’t want a com- promise candidate. They wili let the other fellows hunt the compromise person. They think they stand where they can do the eictating: Guly One Way to Win. The silver men, however, say that none of the “sound money” men now spoken of—Morrison, Campbell, Carlisle—could win in the election. The chance of all chances is for a union with the silver republicans of the west and the nomination of a straight silver man. That is the only hope. It promises victory when nothing else does. Compromises and straddles mean de- feat, and humiliating defeat. Will the Gold Men Bolt? With the outlook as it is, will the gold standard men bolt? Not many of them have declared themselves, but it is alleged that nothing could be more obnoxious to them than the contemplated union of the south and west on silver lines. It would be bad enough, they think, for a silver declaration from democrats alone, but when it comes to cuddling and loving for- mer republicans, it is more than they can stand. They will bolt, it is thought, and then the name of Cleveland will be the magic word. He will be again nominated, and a gold standard flag will be floated. Representative Terry of Arkansas express- es the belief that no party could afford to hoist the single gold standard flag, but if the gold men leave the party at Chicago that is what they will do, it is believed by many. ————_-»-—____. Clerks and Their Creditors, To the Editor of The Evening Star: T take the Jiberty to lay before your read- ers the injretice and indifference of some of the government employes in spending more money than they earn, in conse- querce of which they pay only such debts as they ere actually forced to pay. In many cases, when sickress or death occurs, collections and alms are asked. During former administrations some officials com- pelled the clerks to pay their honest debts, especially house rent, borrowed money, grocery bills, etc., but it seems that the present administration is indifferent about it, unless, perhaps, there is a desire to dis- pense with the services of a subordinate for other reasons. A person employed by the government who declires to pay his honest debts is dishonest, and should not be allowed to hold his position, especially if he receives liberal salary. I furgher con- tend that it is a reflection on the govern- ment to allow such people to remain in of- fice. If a person is dishonest to his credit- ors, he is also dishonest toward the em- ployer. Gambling, horse racing, whisky, etc, are generally the causes of such de- moralization. ANON. a Granite for the Post Office. Word has reached here that the last cargo of granite for the Washington city post office building was shipped from Rockland, Me., last week. This granite comes from the Bodwell quarries at Vinalhaven, and the quantity required for this contract took three years’ labor of 200 cutters and 85 quarrymen. —_->—_.

The Wheless Electric’ Lats. ‘These Lampe are on exhibition in the Ohio National Bark, corner of 12th and @ strects northwest, Where all particulars concerning them will be given end subscriptions for stock will be received. TO INVESTORS. THE WHELESS ELECTRIC LAMP COMPANY owns the United States patents granted Malone ‘Wheless in 1805 and 1896 for Improvements in Electric Are Lamps. ~ ‘The company 1s organixed under the laws of Virginia. wd cover Capitalization, $500,000, divided into 5,000 shares, having a par value of $100 each. ‘Thess lamps, with their marked advantages, can be sold for the same price as other standard lamps, with a govd profit to the stockholders, 7 ‘They exe adapted for strect (municipal) and indoor lighting. They. have received the highest ndorsement from practical electricians and government officers, Who pronounce them an absolutely now departure in electric lighting. Reliale electrical statistics show that there are about 1,000,000 are lamps now in use in the United States, the increase in the past four years being upward of 400,000. With the great economy end other advantages of the Wickes Lamp, it is reasonable to suppose that not_oniy will this number be increased, but that-many of the old expensive lamps will be replaced by those of the Wheless patent. The following modcst estimate is worthy the carcful covsideration of investors: If it-be calculated that 10,000 of these lamps will be sold a year, which ts 10 per cent of the Annual increase for the past four years, or at the ratio ef one new lamp to 300 of those pow im stalfed, the stackholders would reolize a nef profit of $100,000 per annum, equivalent to a dividend of 20 per cent on the entire capital stock of the company, or 40 per cent to purchasers of founders’ shares at $50 cach, at which sum a limited number of shares can be secured. It is cosy to sce that the above is a very low estimate of the probable sales, and with tudictous management it should be greatly exceeded. With the enormous savings shown we should rcasonatly expect to practically control the business, A bona fide proposition is here submitted embodying actual results, and affording an exceptional opportunity for investment.
