They may be surrendered at prices ylelding to the investor an income of 21-4 per cent per annum, and the new bonds will be issued In exchange at a premium of 3 per cent. Accrued interest on both old and new bomds will be calcu- lated to date of exchange. There are now outstanding about $97,- 000,000 3 per cent bo: and $233,000,000 fours of 1907, which are affected by the circular fssued today. There are also outstanding about $446,- 000,000 of the 2 per cent consols of 1930, issued under the act of March 14, 1900. These 2 per cent bonds were issued in 1900 at par under provislons of the refunding act. If the new bonds were to be issued now at par there would be & profit to the owners of the bonds, taking the present market valuation as a basis, of about 4 per cent for the 3 per cent bonds surren- dered, and about 51-2 per cemt for the fours of 1908. The secretary desires to obtain an equit- able share of this profit tor the govern- ment, which is the reason for charging a premium of 2 per cent under the new bonds to be issued. The eircular will contain full particulars for the guidance of those who desire to avald themselves of the privilege of refund- ing and will be nt to each owner of registered bonds of the two loans in ques- tion.

It will be recalled that Colomel Mosby made a rather complete and exhaustive ex- ment regarding the practices of cattlemen and thelr agents, who endeavored to gain possession of vast tracts of public lands and fence them in for grazing purposes. Colonel | of Miss Katle Swartzlander in Mosby's report created quite a furcre at the time. The Nebraska delegation in congress cons ferred, and after many meetings with fen in congress from Wyomiug, Washington territories attempted to get through con- gress a bill which would permit the leasing of public lands in Nebraska to cattlemen. The secretary of the interior finally con- cluded he would give consent to the leasing proposition, and a letter was sent Lo con- gress by Mr. Hitchcock acquiescing in the leasing proposition. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the public lands committee of the house, had been consulted and eventually agreed, but the leasing bill failed, and now nothing remains but to enforce the existing stat- utes and pull down all fllegal fences, As the most flagrant violations are sald to have occurred in Nebraska, the eyes of the department naturally turn in that di- rection. Bpeclal Agent Defrees is to take up the Investigations heretofore prose- cuted By Colonel Mosby, and his directions are said. to be of such an explicit character that ' abuses complained of will be over- turned root and branch. A ctions Are Positive. Mr. Defrees’ instructions embrace a rigid examination of all allegations of fraud ve- garding entries upon public lands and & thorough Investigation of alleged fillegal fencing, Speclal Agent Defrees s a man of experience and mature judgment and has the entire confidenge of the commis- sloner of the general land office.

Agent Defrees was appointed from Indiana d has been three years in the service. The news of the death of Willlam E. Annin at Phoenix, Ariz., today was received by his many friends in this eity with pro- found sympathy. While his death did not come unexpectedly, hopes. were held out that he might recover in the climate of Arizona. Lately, however, Mr. Annin's letters to his friends in this city, while exceedingly brave, were very pessimistic. Staley Not Talking. James Staley, superintendent of the Yankton training school for Indians, arrived in Washington today to look after several matters connected with his official work. Among other things he secured permission to purchase $2,500 worth of seed wheat for the Yankton Indlans and hopes before re- turning home to make arrangements for immediate payment to the Indians of money due them under the treaty of 1858, amount- ing to $20,000. Asked regarding the charges of offensive partisanship made agalnst him by members of the South Dakota delega- tion in congr and the offorts of the delegation to have him removed on account of them, Mr. Staley said: “Regarding this matter I have mothing to say, as it would be manifestly improper for me to make any statement concerning the matter, which is being handled by my superior officers.

ADVOURNMENT discuseion fife House members 1avor April 4.and. senate in- clines to remaining in_session another (From a Staft (‘nrrfllpundtnl) LINCOLN, March 26.--(Special Telegram.) —The Twenty-elghth Nebraska legislature, in committee of the whole of the senate, brought to an end all consideration of the revenue bill and reported it baek for pas age tomorrow, and tho house approached the time when the sifting committee {8 to na- sume charge of the great bulk of bills on fle. This committee begins its work tomorrow, the fifty-sixth day. With the session nearing an end, the most popular question now is the time for final adjournment. The sentiment in the house favors Saturday, April 4, while the senators want to extend operations one week longer. The joint committee appointed to determi this matter will meet with Governor Mickey tomorrow. All the governor had to say on the subject tonight was that he wanted thiags to come Lo un end without working on Sunday. The revenue bill goes bofore the semate tomorrow for final action, amended in but two or three unimportant paificulars ex- cept as was done by the revenue commit- tee. Howell of Douglas secured the adop- tion of nn amendment today placing acel dent insuranca companies on the same basis of taxation as Arc and lite; Pemberton of Ouge amended it 80 as to deduct personal’ property and tesl estate of corporations from the. capital stock when otherwise - sessed. The South Omaha charter bl -uu-l the sifting Ifl»- In the house and the Omabw charter bill wis for third reading In the senate without fur-, ther consideration in committee of the whole. Hall of Douglas opposed thia course. The house adopted the report af thé com- mittee of the whole in recommcn. g for passage the bill to erect a moaumeat to Abraham Lincoln on the capitol ground; at a cost of $10,000, not including the marble from which it is to be carved. This is already on the state house grounds, having been presented some years ago by t of Tenne: Rushing Fills Along, This afternoon {n the house when mem- bers began to rush to get pet measures’ad- vanced beyond reach of the sifting commit- tee, which starts in on its work tomorrow, Douglas county members embraced the casion to wash out some cirty linen, dealt a blow to home rule government and cured the advancement and order for en- grossment for (hird reading of H. R. 267, the South Omaba charter bill, which {m- | poses on the people of that city a fire and police bourd appointed by the governor, such as now controls the destinies of Omaba. e There is to be but one difference in the makeup of these boards. The vne that is to assume charge of the political affairs in South Omaha is not to include the mayor &8 an ex-officio member. This s done to the scheme which underlies the bill of inficting punishment upon political adversaries. The fight on the bill today, though one- sided, was very crisp. But one member from Douglas county lifted his volce against the bill and for home rule. It was Kennedy. He plead with the house to re: sist this attack on home rule in the inter- est of good government. He poinfed to the present conditions in Omaha for example and sald: “We have a fire and police board in Omaha that was appolnted by the gov- ernor of the state. The faction that se- cured its appolntment argued that It was done to take the board out of politics. 8o 1 direct your attention to @ board ‘out of politics.” It 1s a travesty. It ls absurd t) suy this board is out of poliftes. It Is nothing in the world but the creature of a political gang that was seeking to appe its hunger for more power. It actually dominates the politics of Omaha and le dolng o perniciously and to the serious detriment of good government." Example of Noupartisanship, And then the speaker drew atiention to the action of the board, or at least the action of one member, W. J. Broatch, in arbitrarily closing fourteen saloons ast Saturday night and Sunda sinply to ec- commodate the wishes of a political pal who wanted to avefige his feelings upou opponents.
