When President Cleveland was informed of Sena­ tor Logan's election he expressed no sur­ prise.

A special from Winnipeg to the Chicago Inter Ocean says: Your correspondent interviewed Attorney General Hamilton to-day as to how Rlel's alleged American citizenship would affect his triSl and punishment. He says: Riel can be tried by military court-martial just the same as if he were a British subject. No right of citizenship gives protection in case of such offense. Riel could also be tried in the civil courts and con­ demned, and in either case the sentence could be executed with perfect safety, even if he were an American citizen. He forfeits all protection by violating the laws of the country in which the act providing for punishment in such ca«es was passed. A military court-martial is likely to be adopted in Riel's case, and doubtless in any event the sentence will be executed. F. X. Lemiend, M.

The Committee of Revision was ap­ pointed by the Established Church Convo­ cation tho 6th of May, 1870. Of the six­ teen members then appointed only six sur­ vive. The revisers sat altogether 792 days of six hoars. The whole work wns gone over in session three times. The first time a bare majority carried an alteration. The •Iterations were then printed nnd circulated among the revisers, who hnd the advantage before the second revision began of sug­ gestions by tho American revisers. On the second ̂ revision a two-thirds majority was necessary to confirm ihe alterations. The third (revision was devoted to objections and p6int$ reserved. As for the general result--says a c^ble dispatch- When the whole work is examined it will be found that the revisers have on the whole been Very conMrrative. The alterations in the Old Testament are much fewer in proportion than those made in the New Te-tament. There have been very few--merely verbal altera Ions. The revised Old Testament Is almost cxactly the same length as the old one. There are im­ portant alterations in the arrangement of chap­ ters, which are printed in paragraphs, so as to keep the oonaeontive sense, but are not divided Into verses. Poetical passages are printed like blank verse. The first axiom ot the revised translation was: "Cling to the pure native sitcniticance of the words." This is a specimen of the blank •erse: Create in me a clean heart., O, God, And renew aripht npirit within me; Cast me not away from Thy presence. And take not Thy holy spirit from me; Restore iinto me the joy of Thy aalvatioA, And uphold me with a free spirit. Adam and Eve only take their names after the fall. Before, they are man or wife. No changes in diction are made in the first chapter of Genesis to aid or puzzle debaters on faith and science. The old account of the deluge is left as it was. The Mosaic books are but little touched. The Joshua miracle of the Bun and the moon are left intact. Job is mainly printed in blank verse. "1 know that my Redeemer liveth" stands but the marginal note destroys all its signlff cance in relation to the Messiah. "O, that mine adversary had written a hook" becomes: "That I had the indictment mine adversary had written." "Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?" changes to "with a quivering mane." "Hell," comments the ltaiiv Telegraph, "is injudiciously dismissed," and the Hebrew "sheol" is substituted throughout. The Globe says: "Go to sheol" will now be­ come a more j ieasant phrase of the angry ir­ reverent man. The italics of former editions yield to com­ mon type in the text. The psalms are divided. There are few Im­ portant changes made in them, and those with piteously scrupulous care. The beaut iiul Psalm xxih., ""Ihe Lord is my Shepherd," re- ma 11s untouched, as does the passage in lva m xxiv. beginning: "Liit up your heads, O ye gates;" but in Tsalm xxxvii.: "The wicked- man no loneer spreadeth himself like a green bay tree," but as *'a green tree in its native soil;" nor in Psalm xiv. is the KIUK'S daught r said to be "all glorious within," but "The King'B daughter within the palace is all glori­ ous." A well-known verse In Psalm xcii. now reads: •*The days of our years are three ecore and ten, or even by reason of strength four-score years, yet is their pride but labor and sorrow, for it is gone and we tiy away." The Prcverls ana Song of Solomon are ar­ ranged as poetry and triaingly Interfered with. A celebrated passage in Isaiah now reads: "As one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we esteemed Him not." The London Times, in a lengthy review of the new revision, says: The work of the New Testament Committee continued until the autumn of 1880; that of the Old Testament Committee until the close of 18N4. The whole Bible after these twelve years" labor appears in its revised English version at this time before the people of Great Britain and America. This revision is now a fact of history. Those who have labored in the pieparation of it have carefully and conscientiously re-examined every verse, sentence, and word; they now com­ mend it to the English-speaking world. That It will meet unfavorable criticism--sometimes severe, sometimes thoughtless, sometimes from the conservative and sometimes irom the pro­ gressive side--as a part of it has already met. such criticism, they do not doubt/. But they in­ trust it to the future, knowing that the book will live while the critics will die, and wishing only that their labors may contr bute in this generation or the coming ones to make the licriptures clearer in their true meaning to all men of the English race. The Bible appears bound with the New Testa­ ment. The preface opens with a statement of general principles on which the revision has been •ond.xted. Ihe revisers have borne in mind their duty not to make a new translation, but revise that already existing, and have de­ parted irom it only where it disagreed with the translators of ltill upon the meaning of a word or sentence. The terms of natural history are only changed where it is certain that the au­ thorised version is incorrect. Where it is doubt­ ful or there is an alternative, tne rendering is given in the margin. In some words of frequent occurrence, the authorized ver­ sion being either inadequate or in­ consistent, changes have been introduced with as much uniformity as practicable; for in­ stance, "Tabernacle of the congregation" has everywhere been changed to "Tent of meeting." In regard to the word "Jehovah" the usage of the authorized version is followed, the revisers not thinking it advisable to insert it uniformly In place of "Lord" or "God," which, when print­ ed in small capitals, represent the words sub­ stituted by Jewish custom for the ineflable name. Of technical terms from the Hebrew, one in three seems to have been generally intro­ duced. The word "grove* (Judaea vL, 28) has been replaced by "ashera," with its plurals, "ashcrini" and "asheroth." In the poetical books "sheol" replaces "hell," which has been changed in the prose passages to **the grave" and "the pit." with "sheol" in the margin. "Of these readings, hell," says the preface, "if it could be taken in its original sense, as used in the creeds, .would be a fairly adequate equivnlent for the Hebrew word, but it is so commonly understood as the place of torment that to employ it frequently would lead to inevitable misunrierstanding. In Isaiah, xiv., where "hell" is used in more of its original sense, the revisers have left "hell" in the text, putt ng "sheol" in the margin. "Abaddon," which has hitherto been knoyrn to Enalish readers of the Bible only from /the Kew Testament (Revelation ix., *i), has been Introduced in three passages--"once in Job and twice in Proverbs. " The term "meat offering" has been idianged Into "meal offering," the former term having ceased to be the generic name for all food. A new plural -peoples--has been introduced, although sometimes this becomes Gentiles when the contrast to the chosen people is marked. All headings of chapters have been dropped, as in the revised New Testament, and the text has been divided Into paragraphs, but the chap­ ter and verse div.sions have been retained Tn the margin fur convenience of reference. By this means the revisers have been enabled to rejoin Psalm x. to Psalm lx., and Psalm xiii. to Psalm xl!., and to begin Isaiah liii at chapter lii., verse 13. The several days of the creation are made more prominent by breaks ot a line between the verses. Thisexpedient has enabled the revisers to make use of the dialogue form and to show the dramatic character ot the song of songs, the iirst chapter of which, for exam­ ple, is divided into seven speeches. The Psalms are definitely divided into five books, the last four beginning respectively at Psalms xlii., lxiii., xc.. and evil A striking improvement is the printing o? all poetical passages in poetical form. This has been done in the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and the Canticles. But the Prophets have been lett in prose, however passionate their oratory. The songs of Lantech, Jacob, Miriam, Moses, Debo­ rah, and Hannah; the Psalms of ,Ion®h and Habaxkuk, and David's lament UnSfesond Samuel, I.) api ear in versified ballad. The origin of Joshua's m-racle: "Hun, stand thou still upon Gibeon," Is Indicated by its verse character. So, also, is the triumphal cry of fcamson (Judges xr„ 1CI. Examination of the more familiar passages and phrases discloses the fact that care was taken in preserving intact household words of the Old Testament. The old literary form has been held s icred, and the revisers cannot lie charged with any pedantic straining after the original text; but not all the familiar objects of the Scriptures have escaped untouched. The high priest no longer casts lots for the scape­ goat. He does so for Azazel. The summary for each day at the creation "now runs according to the formula: "And there was evening and there was morning, one day." "There was evening and morning, a second day," a third day, and so on, giving a suggestion of successive stages with lontr intervals. The "apples of got t," of Proverbs xxv., 11, are now cnca«td in "iigurcd work" of silver, not in "pictures." "Vanity and vexation of spirit" (Ecclestfstes it, IT) has become "Vanity and a striving after mind." "Hsnnr is the man that bath Ida quiver fnUef •iJkjkV.V.: WMMtmnssMNnmnpi thMa" (Psalms exxviii., 6) ] the man that ' llwbtB'i we <0--ssu water thonahalt not exoel,"aMri bless water, have not thou " tsdlnto 1 quiver MfS|aW- --*-77- desire Is that the Almighty would tnswer me and that mine adversary had written a book," Is revised, "Oh. that one would hour me. Be­ hold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me. and that I had the tadlctmenfrf which my adversary hath written." The authorized Psalm vili., verse S: "For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angols" Is revised: "For Thou hast made Mm a little lower than God." The authorized Psalm cxvt. verse 11: "I Mid In my haste, all men are liars." is revised; I said when I made haste to escape, ail men are a lie." Eccle*iastes xlL, 13: "Let ns hear the conclu­ sion of the whole matter; fear God," etc., has been revised to read: "This Is the end of the matter; all hath been heard; fear God," etc. Proverbs xiv., 9: "Fools make a mock at sin, but among -the righteous there Is favor," re­ vised, reads: "The foolish scorn the guilt offer­ ing, but among the upright there is good-will." Ihe above are nearly *11 of the passages In which A shook is given to old Msociatious. ID other passages there are foond variations which cannot be called rash alterations. For instance, Isaiah, chap. Hi, verse 13, in the authorized ver­ sion reads: "Behold, my servant shall deal prudevtly; he shall be exalted and extolled and be very high." The revised Terse reads: "Be­ hold, my servant shall deal wisely; he shall be lifted up and shall be very high," Isaiah liii., :t, in the authorized version is: Ha is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not." In the revised this reads: "He is despised and rejected of men: a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hid their faoes; he was despised, and we esteemed him not," The same chapter, verse 7,is changed to read: "He was afflicted, yet he opened not his month; as a lamb that he led to the slaughter," etc. Same chapter, verse 8: "He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who shall de­ clare his generation?" is revised to read: "By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and who considereth his generation?" The Christology of the Old Testament is almost entirely unattested by the revisers. The crucial passage, Isaiah vii , 14; "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son," remains unchanged, except that the margin suggests the virgin is with child and beareth." In the lifth commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the laud which the Lord thv God giveth thee." is rendered: "Honor thy father and thv mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." The following are examples in which the actual work of revision is distinctly seen: Authorized version, Genesis xxiL, 14: "Inthe mount of the Lord it shall be seen." Revised version: "In the mount of the Lord ltBhall be provided." Authorized version. Exodus xiv.. 40: "And it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave ight by night to these." Revised: "And there was the cloud and the darkness, and gave it light by night." Authorized version, Job xxvili, 4: "The flood that breaketh out from the inhabitant, even the waters forgotten of the foot, they are dried up; they are gone away from men." Revised: "He breaketh open a shaft, away from where men so­ journ ; they are forgotten of the foot that pa«s- eth by; they hang afar from men; they swing to and from." Authorized version. Job xxxi., <05: "Behold my desire is that the Almighty would answer me." Revised: "Lo, here is my sign above; let the Almighty answer me." Authorized version. Job xxvL, 18: "Feware lest He take thee away with His stroke." Re­ vised : "Beware lest thou be led away with thy sufficiency." Authorized version. Psalm xii, 5: "I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him." Revised: "I will set him in safety at whom they mock." Authorized version, Psalm Ixviil., 4: "Extol him that rideth upon the heavens." Revised: "Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts." Authorized version. Psalm lxviiL, 19: "Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits." Revised: "Blessed be the Lord who daily bear­ eth our burdens." Authorized version, Psalm Ixviil, 30: "Rebuke the company of spearmen." Revised: "Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds." Authorized version. Psalm lxxxvii., 7: "As well the singers as the players on Instruments shall be there; all my springs are in thee. vif ed: "As well the singers as they that dance; all my fountains are in thee." T Authorized version, Psalm cxll, B: "And let Him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil which shall not break my head." Revised: And let Him reprove me; it shall be oil upon the hea I; let not my head refuse it." Authorized version, Isaiah xl.,3: "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord." Revised: "The voice of one cr.eth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of the Loid." Psalms ti„ 12: "Kiss the £on," remains, and references to entirely different versions are giv­ en tn the margin. Similarly in Genesis xllx., 10: "Until Shiloh came," isf kept, but "Till he caihe to Shiloh" is noted as an alternative. In all these eases, as in many others, there seems to have been a strong minority among the revis­ ers, which held out ior the alternative readings, and succeeded in putting them in the margin, whi; h contains most of the scholarship of tho vision. The first verse in both the authorized versions is • he same. The first alteration oc- curt in the saconu verse, where, Inst- ad of "The earth was without form and void," we read, "And the earth was waste and void." The text of the story of the creation is with­ out other striking variations. The same may be said of the descript on of the fall and the iiood. In the ten commandments are eomi verbal alterations, the most striking being that bf the sixth: "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus xx., 13) becomes "Thou shalt do no murder." Deuteronomy, chap, xxxii. verse 5: "Thev have corrupted themselves; their Bpot |s not the spot of his children." Revised: "They have corrupted themselves; they are not hla chil­ dren; it is their blemish." Following is a list of the eminent Amer­ ican theologians who took part in the labors of the revision.

NOTE --The American Old Testament Cont­ ra ttee lost by death Prof. Tavlor Lewis, who died in 1m77, Dr. Krauth, who died in January, 188', and Dr. Stowe, by resignation. Of all the London papers--and each de­ votes columns to the version--the Daily Teleg raph seems to be the most tender and loving commentator on the great English classic. In conclusion the Telegraph says: Let us at once sta'e that the Old Testa­ ment has been more fortunate than th • New in its revision. The revisers not only laid down correct principles, but. generally speaking, kept to them, and the result is that we now posset-sa version which retains the beauties of the book so long familiar and that are stored in a million memories. Our first impress;on of their work is to the effect that learn ng and taste, under the control ot reverence, have achieved a great success. The grand old music rings out strong and true, and many an obscure passage has been made clear, f-uch results are well worth the fourteen years of labor .that produced them. Pr*8» > 0111111 vn t. . [New York Herald ] It Is remarkable that the alterations mada< 1 were not greater. The Bible, which has been in use for two hundred and fifty years, when tested by the critical scholarship of a very scholarly and critical age is found to need very few changes, and it is sate to say that the conscien­ tious work of the revision committee has not even jostled the old-time fafth of Christendom. TNew York Sun.J The intei national task now, after fourteen years, concluded was projected on the assump­ tion that the authorized 1- ngllsh versicn of the Bible is not treasured by English readers as a fetich, but prived just in pioportion as it is be­ lieved to laithfully repeat the actual word-' ut- teied or written by the Savior and His dis­ ciples and by the Hebrew lawgivers, prophets, chroniclers, and bards. It was also tak­ en for granted that more trustworthy Hebrew and Greek texts ot the sacred writings and riper powers of analysis and interpretation were available at the close of the nineteenth than at the beginning of the seven­ teenth century. If the new revision shall ap- I>car upon mature examination to be a marked improvement on' the old one--the esseut al fea­ tures of scrupulous fidelity to the Hebrew and Greek originals--a result yet undetermined-- then no consei vative lorce bf habit nor well- aimed objection on the score of rhetoric will perhaps prevent its gradual acceptance.

The crime for which Burton and Cunningham have been convicted and sentenced was com- plicity in the recent Tower and Parliament House explosions in London. The trial excited much public interest. Daily the Criminal Court-room in the Old Bailey was densely packed with spectators. So great was the crush, and so much was an attempt to rescue the pris­ oners feared, that only those having passes from the proper authorities were admitted to tne court-room. Irishmen Indignant. [New York special.] Irishmen In this city express aurprise and In­ dignation over the conviction and sentence of Cunningham and Burton. Patrick Ford said: "The evidence was en­ tirely in favor ot the prisoners, and I did not believe that even an English jurv would data convict upon it."' O'Donovau Rossa said: "I am not much sur­ prised at the convitt on of the pr soners, for I know English juries well; but I am surprised at the sentence. The Judge must have been thoroughly satisfied ot the falsity of the verdict when they failed to hang Cunningham and Burton." • Mr. EdwArd J. Row*, President of the Irish Confederation, said: "Public clamor in En- land demanded victims and Scotland Yard waa bound to furnish them. That is something the police never fail to do when a crime is com initted and Irishmen are credited with it. The men were convicted before they were placed in tho dock. The jury was selected for the sole purpose of pronouncing them guilty. English­ men boast of their love for fair play, but in this trial is shown what little basis there is on which rest such a boast." Re-- iSM,.,, „ K ASSER-ED-DEEN* f The Career and a Picture of the Baler of Fsr-Awajr Persia. Nassar-cd-Deen, the Shah of Persia, is a son of the late Mehemet Shah and Queen Velliet of the Kadgar tribe, and a grand­ son of Abbas Mirga. He was born in 1829 and succeeded to the throne in 1848. The Shah is well versed in Persian and Turkish, and is somewhat of a historian. Unlike many of the smaller potentates, he fully un­ derstands the position he occupies in regard to the greater powers. In manner he is mild and gentle, and his. habits in private life are extremely simple. With all his mildness, however, he is endowed by nature with considerable energy, which he makes felt at times. When the war between Rus­ sia and Turkey was begun he declared his neutrality, but before the close of that never- to-be-forgotten conflict, entered into a com­ pact with Russia. In the year following the close of the war Herat was occupied by Persian troops, and in consequence war -- THE only lady who was ever made an Orderly Bergeaut during the war, says the Cleveland Pluindealer, was Miss Theresa Kelly, now a resident of that city.

Just:ce Hawkins, in charging the furv, said the prisoners had been ab.y <ie'endedand'that their trial ha 1 been iairiv conducted J" I'1 >^ners. Justice Hawkins said 1 hat they had Item convicted of a crime as bad, wicked, and cruel as had ever entered the heart of man. The jury then retired. They remained out not longer than fifteen minutes and returned m.1 a.,vcr<lk1 guilty against both prisoners. The deep silence following the announcement of the verdict was broken by the Clerk, who •aid: "Prisoners, you are found gnilty of treason- felony. Have yon anything to say?" Immediately Cunningham, with flashing eyes, and in a sharp, harsh tone, almost deiiant. made a speech. Leaning forward, he vigorously protested his innocence. He thanked his coun­ sel and friends, and concluded bis remarks with the bitter exclamation: "You may destroy my body, but it is impossible for vou to hurt my soui! ' Next Burton rose, nervouslv, and spoke in more collected and bitter language than Cun­ ningham. and with some dignity. He also pro­ tested his innocence. "English prejudice, ho said, "sends me to eternal punishment."

After a few months' hostilities a treaty of peace was signed at Paris by Lord Cowley and the Persian ambassador, in which ample satis­ faction was given to England. Subsequently the Shah had wars with several neighboring tribes and was successful in an expedition against the Turcomans. In 1873 he visited Europe and was received with great eclat. Although he was absent froni his kingdom from May until September, not the slight­ est discord occurred there, which fact at­ tests the popularity of his reign. He vis­ ited Moscow, St. Petersburg, .Berlin,_ Co­ logne, Brussels, London, Paris, Milan, Vienna, Constantinople, and many other places of less note. During his tour he kept a diary which was published in the original Persian and subsequently transla­ ted into the English and produced in Lon­ don in 1874. In 1878 the Shah again vis­ ited Russia.

Before they had reached the top a bridge policeman came toward them brandish­ ing bis club and ordering them to "get down out of that " While be was talking w:th the young man a covered wagon containing: Prof. E. Odium and a companion stop­ ped about 100 leet behind the can. uuickly divesting himself of the blue flannel in which he was dressed. Prof. Odium, clad in a red shirt and trunks, jumped from the earriace, and sprang lightly to the ramp*- He auickly reached the top, and, poll­ ing himself for a moment, ha. steed erect and glanced hurriedly at the surface of the East River, far below him. The people oh the bridge sent up a cry of horror when they saw the Pro­ fessor prepare to plunge off the bridge Into Ihe river, 135 feet beneath his feet The po­ liceman, whose attention had now been di­ rected from the two men, rushed toward the Professor. Before he had gone a dozen feet Prof. Odium, without a moment's hesitation, had leaped out from the rail­ way and into the air. He held one hand above his head as a rudder to guide Mm in his descent. A tug and a schooner floated lazily in the stream several yards be-low the bridge. The tug was filled with club men and reporters. Boyton stood near the prow, anxious y watching the bridge. The moment Professor Odium's body was seen to leave the railing, t arry E. Dixey, the actor, started a stop-watch, which he held in his hand in order to time the descent. For nearly a hundred feet the Professor came down all right, feet fore­ most; he shot downward with the speed of a meteor, his red suit making him easily (Hsoern- ible for a long distance. When within thirty ffet his body began to turn. As if realizing his danger. Professor Odium brought down bis hand with a warlike motion to aid him in recoveilng nis balance; the movement was, however, made too late, his body had now turned so iar it was impossible to change Its caurse.

Prof. Odium's body struck the water on one side, and sank out of wight- A rowboat soon came to the rescue, and Prof. Odium was taken from the water. A few mo­ ments later he was transferred to the tug and restoratives were administered. After consider­ able rubbing the eyes of the Professor opened. "What kind of a jump did I make?" he whispered. "First-class, my boy," responded Bovton. you'll be all right in a little while;" but he wan insensible again before the words had hardly left his lips. The tug steamed hastily to h-r slip, and just as the pier was reached a shudder passed through the frame of the Professor, and then, after breathing heavily once or twice, his heart stopped beating, and he was pronounced dead.

The Kew Minister to Russia* George Van Ness Lothrop was born1 Easton, Bristol County, Conn., August 4L 1817. His early years were spent on hit father's farm. Graduating from Brown University in 1838, he entered the law school of Harvard University, but in 1839 removed on account of ill-health to Prairift Honde, Kalamazoo County, Mich., where his brother, the Hon. Edwin H. Lothrop, had a large farm. After restoring his health he went to Detroit in 1843 and resumed the study of law, beginning practice in 1844 as a partner of D.-Bethune Duffield, under the firm name of Lothrop & Duffield, which continued until 1856. In April, 1848, he was appointed Attorney General of the St ite of Michigan and held the office until January, 1851. He has |wo or three times received the complimentary vote of the Democratic members of the Michigan State Legislature for United States Senator. He was a member of the Michican State Con­ stitutional Convention of lHli7. For twenty- five years he was geneial attorney of the- Michigan Central Railroad. From the time of his entrance upon active professional life Mr. Lothrop has enjoyed a wide celebrity throughout Michigan as a lawyer and poli­ tician, and a cultured, courteous, and pop­ ular gentleman of the old school. For many years he has been considered the most prominent lawyer and orator of Michigan, and the fact was tacitly recognized that if the Democratic party ever came into power he would be given one of the best positions. Mr. Lothrop led the Michigan delegation at the Charleston National Convention in 1860, and really headed the Douglas sentiment in that body. During the war he gave cordial support to all just and necessary measures of the Government. Mutilated National Bank Notes. [Washington special.] Treasurer Jordan has made a slight change in^tbe working of the national bank redemption ngeney, whioh will resnltin some reduction of expenses--how much re­ mains to be seen. The Treasurer of the United States is authorised bv law to re­ deem mutilated rational bank .currency. It has been customary to construe'the word "mutilated" liberally, and bills not mutilat­ ed but considerably worn have been sent to the Treasury, new bil s returned, and the old ones destroyed. Mr. Jordan constmea the law more strictly. National banks have been asked to send in only really mu­ tilated bills, and when bills that are still serviceable are sent in new bills will be- issued in their places, but the old bills are to be paid out by the Treasury. It is not expected that this will make much differ­ ence with tha number of persons employed in the redemption agency, bnt it will prob­ ably reduce the amount of work required of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing; but it will Le some time beforo this result becomes appurent. This policy is the re­ verse of that pursued by the Bank of En­ gland, which never pays out the same note twice, no matter how good its condition may be. Mr. Jordan's action is based on the belief that the IAW does not authorise the retirement and destruction of bills that are still serviceable. « i MA J.
