WASHINGTON, March 26.—The Secre- tary of the Treasury to-day published a | circular announcing that on and after | April 1, 1903, he will receive for refundi nig, | n two of the act | ch 14, 1900, to an amount not ex- | ceeding $100,000,000, of the bonds of the 3 per cent loan of 1908-1918 and the 4 per | cent funded loan of 1%7. They may pe | surrendered at prices yielding to the in-| vestor an income of 2 per cent per an- num, and the new bonds will be issued in | exchange at a premium of 2 per cent. Ac- cried interest on both old and new boras There are now outstanding aboul $07,- 000,000 3 per cent bonds and $233,000,000 4's 907 which are affected by the ciren'ar ssued to-day. There are ing about $446,000,000 of the 2 per cent con- sols of 1930, issued under the act of March 14, 1900. The per cent bonds were is- sued in 1900 at par under provisions of | the refunding act. : If the new bonds were to be issued now at par there would be a profit to the ow ers of the bonds, taking the present mar- ket valuation as a basis, of about 4 per the 1908 bonds surrendered and about 5% per cent on the 4's of 1%7. The Secretary desires to obtain an equitable share of this profit for the Governmer which Is the reason for charging a mium of 2 per cent upon the new bonds to be issued. | The circular will contain full particu- lars for the guidance of those who desire to avail themselves of the provisions of refunding, and will be sent to each re- corded owner of registered bonds of il two loans in question. The 5 per cent bonds of 1904 will not be réceived for refunding under this circular, but will be reserved for redemption. They mature on February 1, 1904.

Proposed Exchange of Bonds Comes Unexpectedly. NEW YORK, March 26.—The offer of Secretary Shaw seemed to come as a sur- prise to bond brokers, some of whom pro fessed to be unable to understand its scope or purpose. It was generally looked upon as an emergency or relief measure, inasmuch as the offer will release trom $5,000,000 to $8,000,000, the gmount depend- ing entirely upon the proportion of ¥'s 4's turned in. One broker thought the proposition was designed to induce banks to increase their circulation. Nobody could trace any connection between the offer and the coming Panama canal pay- ment, MERCHANTS OF FRESNO ACCEPT A CHALLENGE Chamber of Commerce Proposes to Prefer Charges Against Arthur Miot. FRESNO, March 2.—Arthur E. Miot, manager of the San Joaquin Valley Com- mercial Association’s information bureau in Los Angeles, has challenged the Fresno Chamber of Commerce to prefer charges against him to the executive committee of the association, and the challenge has been accepted. The affair was brought about by Fresno's action at a recent meet- ing in drawing out of the Valley Asso- ciation. For several months Fresno had not participated in the work of the asso- ciation in Los Angeles, maintaining an information bureau of its own. But at this meeting charges were made to the effect that Manager Miot or some one connected with his information bureau had been consistently *knocking” Fresno County to incuirers there. Last night at the meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce executive committee a rather caustic letter was read from Miot, who accused the chamber of giving cre- dence to street rumors, and challenged the committee to appear before the as- soclation’s executive committee and prove the assertions made regarding his treat- ment of Fresno's interests. The challenge was promptly accepted. The Chamber of Commerce has no interest in the matter beyond the justification of its own action, but it claims to be able to produce affi- davits that Miot has talked against the county, and will bring these affidavits to the association’s notice. L s 2 Y Dole will be taken as soon as he is well enough. It is stated that the $18,000 short- age was not originally in the Chinese fund at all, but that when Wright madc his famous I O U he .made Territorial treasury funds good by taking cash from the Chinese fund. This would mean that the transaction was known to a number of people and Wright's shortage, in fact, was no new story on the day he decided to skip. Road Supervisor Dwight is under fire. In the Senate yesterday Senator McCand- less introduced a resolution asking for a cemmitteé’ “to find out how many teams belonging to private parties had been em- ployed by the Public Works Department within the past ten days, while the Gov- ernment teams were idle.” The resolu- tion carried. It is claimed that a portion of $500 expended on road work went to Dwight himself for payment of teams furnished from his own stable while Gov- ernment teams were idle. Dwight carrics on a contracting business on his own ac- count. He was before Superintendent Cooper and made an explanation which, it is said, did not satisfy the superintend- ent. tary Honors to Suicides.

He was a little better this evening, but this is thousht to be only a temporary respite, His great age, 84 years, Is against recov- ery. No professor ever connected with Santa Clara College is more cherished and thought of by the graduates of the insti- | tution than Father Caredda. He is the oldest member of the college faculty and the last of the corps of Jesuits that helped | to found the schoel. Graduates of the col- lege all over the West are friends of the aged father. For more than thirty years, as vice president, he came in c contact with the pupils and many promi- nent men throughout the State who at- tended the school frequently there to see their aged teacher.

P som, physiclan at the institution, an u[un’nt submitted to the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly in favor of the bill of Assemblyman Knapp making an propriation for the con- struction of a bullding at the prison for the care of the prisoners thus affected. There are 250 tubercular inmates in ihe institution. Concerning the conditions Dr. ““We are able to care for, at the most, but fifty-four of these men in our hos- pital wards. We have set aside the side | of the cell block for others under trea’- ment. This leaves about 100 cases scat- tered through our population. “From ninety to a hundred tubercuiar | cases are being discharged every year from this prison upon the outside world | to carry their infection broadcast if their disease is not arrested.” — ST.
