It is not recalled that there has ever been o much interest shown in the sale of state bonds. The bonds bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. and they run for 26 years. The sale was conducted by Costello Lippitt, state treasurer. sentatives of the bidders were all as- sembled in the inmer office of the treasury department when 11 o'clock arrived for the opening of the bids. Mr. Lippltt opened each bid in the presence of all and read the terms of the bid aloud, so that each person was able to make a note of it. Outside Bidders Highest. ‘When the bids from Hartford bidders were read and it was found that some of them were lower than the bids which had preceded them, one of the bidders remarked that the bonds of the state were thought more of out- side the state of Comnecticut than they ‘were in it. “A man is not without honor save in his owr country’ replied Treas- urer Lippitt. showing that he has not forgotten his Sunday school lessons, Joint Bid Won. There were about ninety bids th all. The repre- ! His Conduct of the Sale of $4,000,000 State Bonds Pleased —Premium of $63,920.00 Received. ‘The successful bidders were R. 1. Day & Co., and Bsterbrook & Co. of Bos- ton. They submitted a Jjoint bid. Thelr bid was for the entire issue of $4,000,000 as $1,015.98 per bond, the denomination of each Lond being $1,- 000. This represented a premium of 1598 per cent. and brought to the state treasurer the handsome sum of $63,920. Bid Eight Times Over. The bonds were bid fog nearly eight times over. The total amount of the bids was $31,093,000. This shaws that the credit of the state is in a gratify- ing condition. The bids were from par to 1.70 per cent. There were some | bids higher than that of the success- | ful bidders, but they were not for the | full amount of the issue, but merely for a part of it. For this reason it was to the financial advantage of the state t» accept the bra of R. L.

Described in Letters Received from Rev. E. H. Smith. Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. ). S. Smith received _otters deted No- vember 5 and 13 from their son, Rev. E. H. Smith of Ing-hok, China. He writes, November b: “I fear they are in for a lolg strug- gle. It may upset things, but in the end it wili_prove a great day for China, for whichever side wins, the old order 1s gone forever. The new day is uvpon us. It may have many un- pleasant things about {t, but it will mean progress and home and freedom. We hope it will also mean justice and righteousness, but that depends upon the permeating of thc nation with Christfanity which will take genera- tion: rs. Hodous and their children and Mrs, Newell and their baby all had to move for fear a battle would rage over their heads. Hundreds of Chinese have moved up to Ing-hox to get away from Foochow and Mr. Hodous wrote that 4,000 moved out of one east gate of the city in two days; they were go- ing out of the south and all the other gates in the same way. “You may be sure we shall take ev- ery percaution and if at any time dan- ger arises we have gunboats at Pag- oda anchorage ready to take all the foreigners aboard and take care of us. The later letter says: “Foochow has been taken by the revolutionists—who are the new, voung, educated party— after 4 fight that lasted two days. It seems that practically all the great rulers of Fukien province are dead or capturned. Dr, Kinnon has been car- ing for the wounded in the buildings of Foochow college. Now the new gov- ernment is striving to make good. Ev etvthing has been done in a very Christian and orderly way. As far as we can learn not a foreigner or for- eign house in this province has been injured. Last rignt word was received from the consul and the commander of the American forces in Foochow that we come down at once, but everything is very quiet in Ing-hok and we don't want to go and leave our work and our home here. “The girls’ school will probably be disbanded, but I shall hope that the boys’ school will keep on for the moral effect, if for nothing else.

They all feel that our presence ir worth a regiment in keeping order in the district. “It i8 no easy thing for a great na- tion to throw off its oppressors as they have done. Everything has gone as was planned. The peopls are jubilant, they fear only bands of robbers and desperadoes, but the new government will soon be firmly in the saddle. Ma- rines were landed in Foochow by the United States gunboats to protect mis sion propertq.
