NKW YORK, Jan. r.-A sp-vial to the Times from Raltlmore snys: President Edwin Warfleld. of the Fi delity end Deposit Company, of Balti more, hss gone to Now York to con sult Frank H. Piatt, vlce-presidmt of the company, concerning the JJO.000 bond of Charles F. W. Neely. fornit-r director of finance of the Cuban po tal service. Deir.and ha also 'fc-n made upon the company for the $PVX bond of testes O. Rathbone. President Warfleld says that the company ha neither admitted nor denied liability In these canes, nor will it do go until ful ly satisfied that th claims are Jut. Mr. Warheld further fays trot Ih fore a settlement is made the chargvs made by Xeclj v. Ill have to be sntis fHctorlly explained away. It was far ther stated that the company lies not propose to settle, except nt the end uf a lawsuit. The ettVct of a suit by the " government to collect the amount of NeHy's bond will be to throw tfct mer- its of the whole case before fcn Ameri can Jury, and it appears that one uf the grounds on which the company will contend against paying will be that Neely's guilt hns not ben established. A point which the company may raise s this: On Neeiy's preliminary hearing in Js'ew York, Captain Oorge E. BurtotJ. who first made the charges against Mm, testified that as far back as Jan uary, 1900. b hai - - . nnown w irregu larities In the accounts of the direct--r of finance of the postal establishment. In all fidelity company bonds for the form issued In Neely's case there is contained a clause which reads like this: "This bond will become void as to ny claim for which the company is responsible hereunder to the employer. If the employer shall fail to notify the company of the occurrence of such act immediately after it shall have come to the knowledge of the employer." It is said that if Burton actually kt.ew of the Irregularities In January preceding Neely "s arrest, this clause of the Neely bond becomes operative, be cause the company was not immediate ly notified. While the letter to the company mak ing the claim for Rathbone's bond d-s not allege any criminality against Rathbone. it asserts that the govern ment was a loser through him to the extent of $60,000 in "unauthorized pay ments" -which had been disallowed in settling his accounts.

Statu of Scotch and Irish Members of Parlliuwnt Impaired. NKW YORK, Jan. 59. A dispatch to the Trlbun fmtn lAndon says: The lawyers are still qu'bbllng over technical points arising fnxn the bad drafting of the act of 1ST, by which Scotch. Irish and university numbers of parliament are excluded from the operation of that measure. Close construction Is displays! and I V. Maroourt Is one of those who a?- isett these members will be forced to seek re-elections and. since It is hardly credible that parliament can be par- uaiiy aissHiiveu, it rollows thnt a gen eral election will occur within six months. If this be true, the Intent of the act of 1S07 will be rewrsed. since the object aimed at was to prevent the dissolution of parliament owing to the death of a sovereign. One point Is In favor if the cKwe constructionists. The faults In draft ing the act were known and the neves- slty for amending and rectifying it va recognised. It Is reported that the mln isters were intending to do so this spring. Apparently It is not too late. The status of the Irish. Scotch and unlversdty members Is good for six ; months In any event and during that period the law can be amended. - j AMERICA GETS ARMOR CHEAP, I European Countries Object to Paying More Than Is Paid by the United States.
