About Bond Subscriptions.
N-jw York. Feb. 23.—The allotment
of the new UWed States 4 per cent,
bonds was completed today and at 8
o'clock letters were mailed to the suc
cessful Udders. Mr. J. PierrepoUt Mor
gan stated that the subscriptions • In
London, according to his advices,
amounted to 8880,000,004, willch, with
the 8200,000,000 subscription here make
the totul subsoriipKions 8760.000,000. The

The Morgun-Belmont syndicate de
posited 8300.003 gold at the sub-treasury

without stating whether the gold was
to pay for bonds or to be exchanged
eventually for legal tenders. There was

NO CITY HALL. ,
Atlanta a Tenant of Private Buildings
for Many Years.
Atlanta. Feb. 23.—(Special.)—Atlanta te
considerably worried over the city hall
question. Tile city papas have been ag
itated on the subject for several years,
but no steps of s tangible character have
ever been token to secure tbe much cov
eted building. Ever since the old city
halt was glvan to ths state for a state
«'Pltol Atlanta has been a tenant In va
rious office buildings. At present the city
officers are cramped up In what Is known
as ths Chamber of Commerce building on
Pryor street at the corner of Hunter.
Tne building Is not only a horror of incon
venience, but some of tb i . at*, capable
engineer* in the city believe U to be un
safe, and a constant menace to the Uvea
of tbe occupants. There have been sev
eral scares on account of eettUng floora
and cracking walls, which caused the
officiate to say hasty pftyers. and It would
really be no great surprise to the com
munity If the structure should collapse
any day. But the city's officers have b-.-on
in such a tlx, that although previously
desired, the new city hall haa never been
In eight, and la not now, unless It 1a put
up py private enterprise.
Within the past week the city has had
two propositions by private cltltens to
build a city hall to suit the public needs,
on a long term lease, and In the extremi
ty of her condition, the chances appear
pretty sssd that M!f! Att«Ka : who us
ually claims tho earth as her footstool,
wlITaccept, end contlnus to Itv.. In a hir
