GOVERNMENT BONDS. Two Millions of Dollars Which May Never Be Paid. They are not Easily Lost, and Often Turn Up in Very Queer Ways— How New Ones are Is sued. From the Washington Star. The proposition to issue government bonds to relievo the financial stringency and the discussion of the amount of the public debt has called attention to the that there are called bonds and other securities of the United States now outstanding to the amount of more than $2,000,000. This amount is increasing every year. It is small in comparison with the public debt, but it would make a nice little fortune for someone if he could only gather together all of the claims for bonds destroyed and all of the bonds that are now hidden away and have been forgotten. The miss ing securities run back to the loan of IM7. At long intervals a $25 bond is sued under the bounty land scrip act of February 11, 1847, comes to the treasurer of the United States for redemption. Under this act any honorably discharged officer or soldier who served in the Mexi can war for more than twelve months re ceived, at his option, 160 acres of land or a certificate for 8100. Those serving for ss period than twelve months under ue same conditions got forty acres or a $25 certificate. Certificates to the amount of $233,0.5 were issued under this act, bearing interest at 6 per cent. They were called in two years after the date of issue, and of course interest on them ceased. But there are still outstanding certificates of this issue to the value of about SSOO. Two of the $25 certificates were redeemed last year. Then there is the loan of February, 1861, the Oregon war debt loan and tiro loan of July and August, 1861, of which a good deal is still outstanding. The treas urer redeemed last year $1,300 of the loan of 1862; SI,OOO of the loan of June, 1864; $4,450 of the consols of 1865 (on which the interest ceased in 1870); $7,500 of the consols of 1867 (on which the interest had ceased in 1879), and $45,200 of other loans on which the interest had ceased between 1879 and 1887. If the government should make an issue of bonds it can count on a certain percentage of them as actual profit. ‘ The proportion of bonds unredeemed is quite small,” said Mr. Huntington, the chief of the currency and loan division of the treasury department, “because bonds are usually in the hands of people who purchase them for investment, and who take good care'of them. Bonds differ in this respect from money, which passes from hand to hand. Besides, the small est denomination of bonds is SSO. and they are very much larger than bank notes or money, and are correspondingly more difficult to lose.” A FOKTCNATE INCIDENT. Nevertheless, the government at inter vals comes across a remarkable and even a romantic story in bonds presented for redemption. One of the most interesting of these was the case of an old woman who attended an auction sale of furniture fifteen years ago and bought an old-fasli ioned book ease. She intended to use it as a place of storage for her best crock ery. When she got it home she found in one of the drawers five papers of green ish tint, with figures and pictures on them. She could not sead, and she knew nothing of the character of the papers. Her children saw them and asked for the pictures, so the papers were given to them to play with. Fortunate!>* they were not destroyed by the little ones, and they were still in evidence when the parish priest called a few days later. He opened his eyes in astonishment. "Do you know what your children are playing with?” he said. “Oh, yes,” said the woman ; “Just some papers I found in my new cupoourd.” “These papers are worth SI,OOO each,” said the priest. The woman was amazed and could hardly believe him. He went to the auctioneer aud tried to learn from whom the desk had como. It had been lying in the auction room for a number of years and all trace of the original owner had been lost. So, witli that duty per formed, the priest brought the five bonds to Washington and took back $5,000 to the little woman—enough to make her rich for life. At the time Mr. Morrill was Secretary of the Treasury a prominent southerner left among his effects a certificate of “Texas indemnity stock” for SIO,OOO. His widow supposed that it was a receipt for taxes on some Texas land. Some years later this lady was in Washington in reduced circumstances and she consulted Mr. Riggs, the banker, about the sale of some Texas land. He knew that her hus band had been a holder of this Texas in demnity stock, and he asked her what had become of it all. She said that she did not know anything abont it, but later she remembered this paper which she had thought to be a tax receipt and she told Mr. Higgs about It. He asked her to send for it without telling her of its value. When it canie ho turned it into the treas ury for her and received tho original SIO,OOO and about $2,500 in unpaid interest, all in gold. It was a remarkably fortu nate discovery for the southern woman. The treasury department receives every week millions of dollars of muti lated money for redemption, but it is not often that mutilated bonds are received. Hut about five years ago a great mass of greenish pulp was sent to the treasurer with the statement that it represented a large sum in the compound interest notes °' IS M. These notes had been in the safe of a Mississippi river steamboat which was burned. The safe had been at the bottom of the river for nearly a year. Ibe green pulp was dried out and it p, 'o'’ed ali that was claimed for it. '‘ hen Judge Folger was Secretary of the Treasury an old man from New Kng land came to the Treasurer's office one day with a collection of papers yellow with ago. He said he had found them among the effects of an uncle of his and mi l offered them to a banker in Boston for $5,000. The banker ref used to give him anything for them. The Treasurer looked oy.'i' the papers and found that they were United States securities and worth $70,- ! That is the apiount that the New England farmer took away with him wiu u he left Washington. He probably haunted it in the face of that Boston banker. ■h remarkable find was that of an army officer. Nearly twenty years ago he was if 'be tepee of a Sioux Indian, which had oeen deserted. The walls of the tepee ' ere decorated with clippings from news papers and other specimens of low art. : .' among theseclippings were compound uu rest notes of the United States to the amount of $5,000. They had undoubtedly cen found on the person of some white prisoner and the simple red man had alued them only for the engraving on , The officer produced some very uid ehronios which he had in his collec torl i Wfiodieal reading matter and uered them in exchange for the little Kfoeii pictures on the walls of the tepee, me other luliaus of tho tribe accepted •‘' in gladly, uud the officer, after mak an effort to find to whom the money acce l ,t ‘ !

It is the policy of the treas i “epartmeut tutvr to Issue registered bonds, and very few of them are lost. As they pass from hand to hand they are transferred on the books of the treasury department, and when the treasurer calls them in his notice of the call goes direct, in most cases, to the holder of the bonds. Laws have been made by congress for the issue of duplicate bonds to replace those which have been destroyed, buttheeondi tions surrounding the issue of these du plicates make them difficult to obtain. The law provides that “Whenever it appears to the Secretary of tho Treasury by clear and unequivocal proof that any interest-bearing bond of the United States has. without bad faith on the part of the owner, been destroyed in whole or in part, or so defaced as to impair its value to tho owner, and such bond is identified by number and description, the Secretary of the Treasury shall, under such re quirements and with such restrictions as to time and retention for security or otherwise as he may prescribe, issue a duplicate thereof, having the same time to run, bearing like interest as the bond so proved to have been de stroyed or defaced,” etc. The owner of the destroyed or defaced bond is to sur render the remains of the bond and file a penal boud with the treasurer in double the amount of the destroyed or defaced bond and the interest on it witli two good securities. For a registered bond to be is sued in duplicate, the owner of the origi nal has only to file a bond in the amount of tlie original and interest. These penal bonds are perpetual, as are all bonds made to the United States. Every officer of the treasury who is under bond to-day can be held under that bond fifty years hence if any shortage can be traced to his admin istration. His securities are never released. It is not easy to get together bondsmen for $500,000, and it has hap pened not infrequently that the owners of bonds that have been destroyed have gone to congress for relief. When a du plicate bond is issued it is always regis tered. The largest amount ever issued by the government in duplicate bonds was $1,600,000. These were issued under spe cial act of congress of Dec. 19, 1878, to the Manhattan Savings Institution of New York. They were registered bonds which were stolen from the bank in the robbery made fauious by Inspector Byrnes’ book, “The Great Bank Robbery. n The rob bers of the Manhattan got eight bonds of $50,000 each, and 120 bonds of SIO,OOO each. All of these bonds were on the books of the register of the treasury as the prop erty of the Manhattan Savings Institu tion. That institution went into tho hands of a receiver as a result of “the great bank robbery,” and as it was next to impossible to give a bond for $1,000,000, and absolutely impossible to prove that the missing bonds had been destroyed, the bank had to come to congress. Con gress directed the Secretary of the Treas ury to issue duplicates of the bonds “upon evidence clear and satisfactory to him be ing furnished that they have not been assigned, but are still the property of said institution.” and on tho further condition that a number of them be held in trust by the Secretary of tho Treasury until such time as would secure the United States from loss. ISSUING NEST GOVERNMENT BONDS. The business of issuing anew set of bonds is a matter of soriie moment to the officials of the treasury department, be cause it involves a great deal of labor in the bureau of engraving and printing, in the register's office and in the treasurer’s office. It takes some time for the bureau of engraving and printing to get out an issue of bonds. The engraving is a slow process. Then the paper must be pre pared. The issue of the renewal bonds of 1891 was printed on paper ten years old which was lying in the vaults of the bu reau. It had to be taken out and wet down, and it was not ready for use for ten days. Bonds go through the presses three times. First the tint is printed on the fare of them. Then the form on tho front is printed in black, and then the form on the back is printed also in black. These bonds were printed from plates which were made in 1876. The bond issue of 1891 was a reissue of the bonds of 1876; so the bond3 were printed alike. It is astonishing how little wear there is on the tempered steel plates from which bonds are printed. But this is not more remarkable than the process of freshening the plate which has been worn a little. If a bond plate looks at all dull un der the microscope, it is put into the trans fer press and the cylinders witli which the design wes cutiiuto it are rolled over it again. Any one who has seen the fine hair lines in the engraving on a bank note or a greenback will appreciate the marvelous accuracy of a machino which can bo ad justed so that the original cylinder, passing over the engraved plate seven or eight years after the original engraving, will cut again into the same lines and simply deepen the impression. The vari ation of the thousandth part of an inch in the adjustment of the cylinder would blur the plate and ruin it. The cost of transferring from the cylinders alone is about SSO a plate, and that feature of the preparation of a bond issue would cost the government fully S3,CO l. The cost of engraving and printing would bring the expense of issuing anew series of bonds up to about $15,000. The regis tered bond is about fourteen inches long by six inches wide. The old coupon bond was eighteen by twenty-four inches. This was the size of tho 4 per cent, bond which was to run thirty years with inter est payable every three months and which bore 120 coupons. In the issue of coupon bonds the signature of the regis ter of the treasury is engraved on tne coupons. It would be impossible for the register to sign 120 coupous on each bond. In some of the heavy issues of bonds the signature in the body of the bond has been engraved. But all of the registered bonds are signed by the register or his deputy. When these bonds are issued the initials of the clerk who entered, and the initials of the clerk who recorded each bond are written iu the corner of it so that if there is any mistake it can be traced very quickly. RAIL AND CROSSTIE. There is 3 controversy between the Georgia railroad and the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and the Order of Railway Conductors regard ing contracts. The principal trouble seems to be that the men complain that there are not enough crews on the trains. The feasibility and justice of the mileage system is being discussed. The engineers hold that, if the mileage system is adopted; justice would be meted out to all interested. No strike is impending, but there is some dissatisfaction. A confer ence was hold this week between General Manager Scott and committees from the brotherhoods. Neither will say what was done. It is believed that Maj. Green will assume charge of the road Decem ber 1. He is now in Richmond, aud has fully recovered his health.

The unusually high tides and heavy seas caused her to drag out of the channel and got on a shoal. The tugs Paulsen and Forest City were trying to pull heroif yesterday and expected to move her at high tide. Louis Gallovicii, the German seaman, who was one of the throe survivors of the French bark Ellen Isabelle, belongs to Solomons, Calvert county, Maryland. He speaks in the most appreciative terms of Capt. Johannesen, who is of tlie bark Arab, who saved their lives. He says that the captain’s boat filled twice while endeavoring to take them from the wreck, and it was with the most strenuous efforts that he succeeded in getting them off. After they were safely on board of the bark, the captain furnished them with clothes and treated them as if they were cabin passengers. Gallovieh says that Capt. Johannesen is “the finest skipper that ever lived.” Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Is delicious In taste and aroma, is more nour ishing and more easily digested than any other preparation of cocoa or chocolate.

Providence, Oct. 18.—Prince, the Ben gal tiger confined at Roger Williams Park, was killed this morning at 10:30 o’clock by Princess, his mate. The two tigers had been confined over night in the building, but this forenoon as is the custom, they were allowed to go to the outside cage. Prince was let out first by Supt. Hathaway shortly after 7 o’clock. Later in the morning Princess was al lowed to join him. They were apparently on good terms. They paced up and down the cell, and now and then would lie down and play together. At half past 10 o’clock tlie two evi dently tired of exercising and retired to a corner of the cage very much in the man ner of pugilists before encountering each other iu battle. Princess didn’t remain long in waiting. Suddenly she stretched her legs and walked over to where Prince was. Then she struck him a stfhging blow on Hie head with one of her paws. Prince didn't like this treatment, aud arose. But I J rincess was too quick for him. She fastened her claws into Prince’s throat, and the handsome animal could not freo himself. They rolled over and over for a minute, until they were sepa rated by the attendants. Aud then Prince died. He lingered a few minutes after the fray,-but his jugular vein was cut aud he bled to death. They picked him up and carried him into one of tho back rooms, out of tho public view. Only one person, a woman, saw the whole of the conflict. According to her story it lasted for about a minute. Park Officer Hart was in the vicinity of the menagerie building at the time. He heard the roars and groans of the tigers, but did not pay much attention to them. “It’s an every-day occurrence, and I arrived just in time to witness the end of the struggle and Prince’s death,” he said. Prince was known throughout the United States and Europe as the most ferocious tiger ever captured in India. It was throe years ago that Prince was taken, after injuring three hunters in the foothills of the Himalaya mountains. He was marked perfectly, and weighed something like 350 pounds. The tiger fought desperately, but was finally landed at Hamburg. Later ho was purchased by the Union Railroad Company of this city for the park. Since his arrival many menagerie keepers have visited the city to see him. A year ago Princess was bought, but at that time Prince was considered a fero cious animal, aud hard fighter, and they were not mated. In adjoining cages they got acquainted, and finally they were put together in a strong steel cage. They never showed any dislike for each other until a week ago, when Prince be gan to punish Princess. She took his ill treatment calmly, but this morning she was ready for him. When tlie noise of the battle ceased Princess was found with one paw u|ion Prince's head. She was very angry, hut finally became quiet. She was covered with blood and showed her pride in having killed her fierce mate. He —Lenora, it becomes my painful | duty to request a release from our uu- ' gagement.

It was in Honduras, near the Caribbean coast, while on a government survey, that Ittrst saw the warrior ants —those strange insects which march through the tropical forests in armies, attacking every living creature in their path. One intensely hot day, as I sat in a hammock under the thatched roof of my bamboo hut, a native came running in, and, with excited gest ures, bade me follow him. I did so won deringly, and going out into the open, looked in tlie direction he indicated. There on the rolling savanna stretched a wide black belt extending far back into the deep shafdows of the adjacent forest. It rose and fell with every formation of the ground, and, like a huge snake, slowly crept toward the village. “The warrior ants.” explained the native iu a strange patios of English and Spanish which I shall not attempt to imitate. “They will soon be here,” he continued. “You had better untie your dogs, or the ants will -kill them.” Acting upon Ins advice J loosed my dogs, aud, retiring to a safe dis tauce. Watoheg tho approach of the warriors. In count lossjmultitudes they swarmed over the plain, marching in compact order, like a well-drilled army. Before them scurried a heterogeneous mass of lizards, grasshoppers, frogs, bee tles and other manner of insects and rep tiles, in a wild scamper to reach a a place of safety. Presently the advance guard reach ed my hut and disappeared within, then the main column appeared, and soon the roof, floor, walls, and rafters were black with Bald Heads!

Like the soft rustle of dried grass stirred by a gentle breeze came the sound of their presence in the leaves of my thatched roof. Tho sound increased In loudness as tho rats, mice, lizards, cockroaches, centipedes, and others of their ilk, who had long made the roof their home, tried vainly to escape. Some succeeded in getting away from the house, but only to fall victims to the surround ing hordes without. One largo cockroach, X noticed, made a plucky fight, but over powered by numbers, he gradually re laxed his efforts, aud was soon dismem bered, each ant carrying off a portion of his body as a trophy. The most exciting battlo was with a snake about three feet long that tried to slip away unseen. The ants quickly sur rounded him, however, and fought with terrible ferocity. With every switch of his tail the snake killed a score of his tormentors, but their places were soon filled by the black swarm which swept unceasingly on.
