4 THE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1898. DISTRIBUTION OF THE BONDS Work Involves Great Labor. FIRST SHIPMENT SENT OUT ’ SMALL BIDDERS ARE GIVEN THE PREFERENCE. Last of the Issue Will Not Have Been Forwarded Until After the Beginning of Sep- tember. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, July 25.—The fol- lowing statement concerning the new bond issue was made at the Treasury Department to-day: The first shipment of the new war bonds was made lo»dag. It consisted of 1000 bonds of $20 each and $1000 bonds of 3500 each. Tha public mind is poorly to compreliend the enormous labor and multitudinous delays connected with this great popular loan. In the first place, af- ter the rejection and return of thousands of subtcriptions to which no allotment could bs made, there remain about 300,000 persons to whom bonds will be allotted and forwarded in due course by express. It is not a question only of 300,000 names. The name, incluaing State, L‘ounlg. town and street number of each subscriber must be transeribed and rewritten in va- rious ways at least ten times. This equivalent to entering once, thus fully ex- tended, 3,0.0,000 or more names. The mere clerical work, however, {s but a part of the problem; the collection of checks and drafts received as payment for bonds, the computation of interest, preparation of cnecks in settlement for same, the engraving and printing of ten kinds or denominations of bonds, the ac- curate disposition of these in envelopes properly addressed, all these are a part of the problem that must be solved without error or omission. One simnle fact will impress the mind with the magnitude nl‘ the operation. Each envelo must be seales 900,000 seals in wax must be imprinted on outgoing bonds. Another important feature is the limita- tion 1 the ability of the express agency to receive, forward and deliver the bonds after they are committed to their care for this purpose. This limitation is estimated gy the express company at 5000 Items a Wiile subscribers in the sums of $4500 or | Of the Vancouver (Wash.) Barracks, visit- less may rest secure in the certainty that the bonds will come to them all in due time, they must patiently awalit the opera- | tion 'of the Government machinery. It is understood that deliveries on the scriptions of $0 and less, for which the | money has been all received will be made before the larger subscriptions are at- | tended to. Of these small subscriptions | there are 230000, and it is estimated that forty days will be required for their deliv- ery. From this it will appear that subscrib- ers in amounts larger than $500 will not begin to receive their bonds until after September 1. From that date on the bonds will be put in the hands of the subscribers quite rapidly, since, nu- ically speaking, they agg e less than one-third of the number of smau subscribers. In the meantime the larger subscribers will be officially notified by the Treasury Department when and how ments In addition to the 2 per cent de- posit will be required and before remitting funds they are reguested to await such notice. Much confusion will thereby be BAPTISTS GATHER AT TWIN LAKES Seventeenth State Convention Will Begins Its Sessions To- Day. avoided. ‘ SANTA CRUZ, July 2%.—The seven-| teenth session of the General Baptist Con- | vention of California and affillated organ- izations will convene at iwin Lakes to- morrow.

Finally the gale subsided and in a crippled conditign the steaemer reached Dutch Harbor. The Lightning. carried a complete con- cert hall outfit, which was to have been taken into Dawson.

WASHINGTON, July 25.—Major Sniffen of the Pay Corps will sail from New York to-morrow on the Olivette for Santiago, accompanied by three paymasters. They will begin the payment of troops on their arrival and in a very short time will be joined by other paymasters, who will as- sist in paying off General Shafter's army and will then proceed to Porto Rico to pay off the army of General Mlles. A rather interesting question has arisen in regard to the payment of troops. A telegram has been recelved from General Shafter requesting that gold and paper be sent to Santiago, as tradesmen there re- fuse to accept American silver dollars at thelr par value and rate them at 50 cents, as with the Mexican dollar. It was Pay- master General Stanton’s intention to send as little silver as possible, confining it mostly to.subsidiary coin for the pur- pose of making change, on account of the greater convenience of takin~ gold and aper, and he will continue to do so. Sonsldernbl\l indignation is expressed that American money of any kind is discount- ed, and a suggestion has been made to the Secretary of war that any tradesman | who refuses to accept United States | money of any kind at 100 cents on the dol- | lar should be removed from any territory | over which the American flag floats. It is | not known that any orders will be sent to | General Shafter on the subject. The supposition is that the refusal to | accept silver dollars is the result of the | long use of the silver of Mexico and the countries which have never passed for more than half its face | 1 value. 'STEAMSHIPS BOUGHT \ BY THE GOVERNMENT !Cmndlan Pacific Liners Will Carry | American Expeditions to the | Philippines. | McPartland a slight favorite at odds of | 100 to 90. VANCOUVER, July 25.—The Canadian Pacific Rallway steamships Athenlan and Tartar have, it is understood, been sold | | to the United States Government and will | | be used in transporting troops to Manila. | | From a well-known Canadian Pacific of- | ficial it was learned that the sale of ves- | | sels had been consummated several days ago. Three weeks ago Captain Edwards | | ed Vancouver, B. C., and thoroughly in- | | spected the steamers. Several days ago it was announced that both steamships | had been withdrawn from the Wrangel run and the fact that all their stores had been removed to the Oriental liners of the | company convinced the most skeptical | that they were going out of the com- pany’s hands for good. | The sale, it is understood, was made to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company as it could not be made direct to the United States Government. The purchase price is reported to have been $100,00 each. The steamships are of over 4000 tonnage, with a carrying capacity of 50 and 600 men.

She will prob- | ably be requested to depart at the earl- | fest possible date. | | Presumably the American lady re- | ferred to is Miss Jessie Schley, daugh- | | ter of Charles Schley of Milwaukee, | | cousin of Commodore Schley. Miss | Schley is a member of the Paris Peace | | Society and went to Madrid with the | intention of conferring with the Queen | Regent and Senor Sagasta, whence she proposed to proceed to Washington | for an interview with President Mc- Kinley.

One of the most extraordinary cases ever brought into a Police Court was called before Judge Mo- gan yesterday morning. Two deaf mutes were defendants, a deaf mute was the complaining witness and a deaf mute lawyer appeared as special prosecutor. From a written statement sub- mitted to the Judge by Theodore Grady, the deaf mute lawyer, Isi- dore Selig, the complaining witness, who is employed as a clerk by Se- lig Bros., 108 Battery street, was on his way to his home at 805 Van Ness avenue Saturda, evening, when he was confronted by the two defendants, Daniel O'Brien and Sig- mund Horn, just as he reached the corner of Eddy street. They pounced upon him, knocking him down and tearing his trousers. Tune defendants also submitted a brief written statement in which they said Selig had been calling them names with his fingers and had been writing about them and they went to his house to demand an explanation, when he showed fight and they knocked him down. Grady in writing asked for a con- tinuance till Thursday, as his wit- nesses were not ready, and it was granted, The Judge Will on Thursday call into service Sergeant John Green to interpret, as he is an adept in the language of the dumb alphabet.

TUKON RUSH IS ABATING Few Men Are Crossing the Passes. ACCIDENTS ARE NUMEROUS BOATS WRECKED AND THEIR OCCUPANTS LOST. Juneau Experiences an Earthquake Shock—Camping Ground at & Premium in Dawson. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, July 21 (by steamship Rosalle to Port Townsend, July 25).— The steamer Dora came in last night with a few Valdes passengers and a Not much progress in mining has been made on the inlet this season, owing to the high water. The Polly Mining Company, which is thought to have the best ground, had its wing dam carried away. Other disasters have serously retarded work, so the output of gold will not be as large as it would have been other- wise. No new strikes are yet reported, though many prospectors are still out. The Dora picked up a big nameless scow adrift near the entrance to Cook Inlet. The scow had aboard about 180 tons of coal and a large cargo of lum-| ber. The pickup is worth about $5000 to the finder. The scow was left at Kodiak. The steamer Del Kodiak with her tow Norte has arrived at in good condi- tion. Juneau had two distinct shocks of | earthquake yesterday morning—one at about 6 o'clock and the other at about 7 o'clock. It awakened many people who were still in bed, rattled pictures, bric-a-brac and dishes, and | caused a slight uneasiness while it} continued. No damage was done in Juneau. Passengers from Kodiak on the Dora report that nothing more had been seen of the alleged vessel cruising In the vicinity of Unalga Pass, and sup- | posed to be a Spanish privateer with designs upon gold coming out of the Yukon. The noted B'ars Nest gold mine on | Douglas Island was disposed of to-day at Sheriff’s sale for $25,000, Cyrus Dolph and Mr. Snow of Portland, Oregon, | buying it in for the bondholders. A party of thirty-six people came up | the river on the small steamers and | out over the Dyea trail last Tuesday, | only elght days from Dawson. Men | are still going down the river, but the | number of boats is not one-fifth ss! many as was on the way from two to | four weeks ago. In all the crowd and | rush it is almost impossible that ac- cidents should not occur. It is won- derful that there have not been greater | casualties. So far only about fifteen | men are known to have been lost in the water, but about 150 wrecks have ocourred, the boats and outfits being | lost. The thousands of new comers at Dawson have looked around them and begun to realize ‘the stern reality of a prospecting trip. Camping ground is at a premium. The best of order is maintained by the Canadian police. The bringing of Dawson within five days of Juneau, actual traveling time, is already having a most desirable effect upon the cuisine of Dawson. It is now possible to have fresh meat and | such fruit as oranges with considerable regularity. Juneau bottled beer is now a luxury at Dawson. A newspaper carrier came out over the Dalton trail, arriving here to-day. He reports 300 men at Fort Selkirk waiting for Jack Dalton, who is on the trail somewhere with several hundred ponies. Several droves of cattle have arrived at Dawson over this trail. . The first fresh beef sold at $1 25 per pound. Hundreds are pulling up the stakes of their tents and departing down the river on the lookout for creeks to pros- pect. Quite a number have gone on up the Klondike, deciding to risk a season’s time on that not well-prospected river. Sickness is not on the Increase, the health of the goldseekers being good in general.
