Secretary Sherman's latest circular,
railing for subscriptions to the four per
cents, states the date when they are re-
ilcemable without stating in words in
what kind of money they are to lie re
deemed. In fact, he could only state
that they arc redeemable in coin, silver or
gold. But the fact that he docs not de
clare them redeemable in gold only,
shows lie ha", abandoned the untenable
position that any words of his can change
the letter of the bond as dictated by the
law. Nor docs he call for the payment
of gold for the bonds. He says payment
“may be made in coin,” called bonds,
coupons just due or maturing within
thirty days, or gold and silver certificates
of deposit. The bonds can therefore Is:
purchased with silver, and the Interest
and bonds themselves are payable in sil
ver or gold at the option of the govern
ment. This, says the Bridgeport Farmer,
is not a change of the conditions of the
loan. It is simply an admission of lhe
exai t situation, as assisted by silver re
monetization, which has already largely
aided the placing of the four per cents
and will undoubtedly make the loan a
great success.

The subject of snpoianung the old and
: expensive system of danufheumng Cla-
iamaxizt£ as from coal by a modern in
I vention by which a very cheap n$ for
■ zhilng and bearing purposes is made
; from steam. U oecupyinr the attention
| of the people of Philadelphia aad other
| cities. We hare received from Mr.
: James Crutcbett. the inventor of the pro-
! ce*. a pamphlet on the subject, which
sets forth the great advantage* claimed
for the new procedi, and which, if its
-tatements are to be relied on, contains
many points of interest to every gas con
suming community.
In this pamphlet the process of making
the steam coal gas is not explained. The
writer claims, however, that “what great
scientists and persevering industry of
years past expected of the future as to
the wonderful elements of water, if made
use of, has now been fully demonstrated
aeff brought to oar doors for numerous
uses and blessings. The gases made
therefrom so easily, combined with refuse
coal dust, is made into fine illuminating
gas, and also into gas for heat or fuel * at
very low prices. Good D him lasting gas
is made at a cost of less than fifteen cents
per thousand feet for fuel, labor, wear
and tear, and gas for beating purposes
for about ten cents per thousand, these
prices being based on the price of coal
in Philadelphia, New York and the
seaboard cities. It is also claimed that
"by proper works and management
dearing out political manipulation;, gas
can be supplied for lighting at fifty cents
per thousand feet, and for heating at
twenty-five cents per thousand feet, pay
interest on the stock value, pay off three
per cent, of principal yearly, keep all
pipes and proper works in order and
have a large surplus revenue for chari
ties and erection of public buildings, and
similar establishments.”
It is thus estimated that at Philadelphia
prices for gas. as much illuminating gae
can be manufactured by this process for
$1 as now costs £4 30, and the new ga-
for domestic uses, hath and other rooms,
can be furnished at the rate of four
thousand feet for a dollar, whereas the
same amount now costs $8 00. The con
sumption of illuminating gas in Philadel
phia is placed at ten million feet a day,
and by the adoption of this new process
a saving of $15,000 per day will be experi
enoed in gas for illuminating purposes,
and of $30,000 a day if it lie also furnish
ed for heating purposes. It may be seen,
therefore, what an immense saving in the
price of gas will result to any communi
ty by the adoption of this new piocess,
provided it will accomplish all that is
claimed.
Certain objections have been raised to
this new gas, however. The process of
its manufacture is declared by some to
lie “altogether impracticable from the
large volume of carbonic oxide gases
made, the expensive cost to remove this
gas, and the increase of nearly 100 per
cent, for fuel,” etc., etc. Besides this it
is further said to tie a very poisonous
gas, which cannot be used without serf
ous detriment to health. These objec
tions are met by the inventor in detail,
lie declares his process lias been endorsed
by gentlemen of the highest chemical
experience both in this country and Eu
rope, and be claims that the steam coal
gas is far less expensive and difficult to
purify than is the coal gas manufac
tured by the old process, there be
ing no retorts to wear or burn
out, and little wear and tear except to
the inside lining of the furnace, which is
of plain fire bricks that are cheap and
can easily lie replaced when needed. As
to the poisonous qualities of the gas he
admits that they exist, but to no greater
extent than in ordinary coal gas. To
prove this, he mentions that some
twenty kinds of poisonous and disagree
able gases exist in coal gas, and quotes
from a well known chemist, Profeasor
Wurtz, as follows: “So far as could l>e
judged as to any poisonous or morbific
action of this gas upon men, the antici
pated objections to water gas on this
score would appear to have lieen much
exaggerated. I was surprised to find
among the men constantly exposed to the
inhalation of the pure water gas itself no
ill effects,”
He claims that the odorousness of all
gas is the great safeguard against its
hurtfulness, inasmuch as its escape then
can lie readily detected, and while the
pure carbonic oxide gas is inodorous, if
it is marie luminous by coal dust, it be
comes odorous, and therefore equally as
safe as ordinary coal gas.
We have not space to notice the sub
ject in detail further. Enough has lieen
said to show that if what Ls claimed for
it he true, it is a matter of great interest
and Importance on account of its eco
nomical features. In his address to the
Philadelphia Joint Committee on Gas, the
inventor asserts that he is ready to ex
plain anything pertaining to his inven
tion to any chemical or scientific body
which that committee may select, and
concludes his pamphlet as follows: ,
“Arrangements are now ready to be
made to supply cities and places, free of
royalty or patent right, where gas will
he wild at the before-mentioned rates.
If the government erect their own
works, the consideration of which is now
before Congress, to supply the public
buildings, etc., in Washington, the in
ventor will arrange to supply the illumi
nating gas at twenty-five cents jier thou-
sand feet, and heating gas at twenty cent*
per thousand feet, and keep all the works
in good eooditjop.”

| Of course this revelation from the musty
records of the past put an end to the

Mr. Reagan, of Texas, advocated the
j payment of the claims, having forgotten,
it seems, that the claimants had been

however, much to be deprecated that any

Baltimore Short Cut to the At
lantic.—The old project of the Maryland
and Delaware Ship Canal Company is
again coining forward. They propose to
build a canal seventeen miles long, hav
ing twenty-five feet depth of water and
one hundred feet width, between Chesa
peake bay and Delaware bay. By this |
means Baltimore will be brought as near
to Cape May, at the mouth of the Dela
ware. as Philadelphia is, and the distance
for ocean vessels between Baltimore and
New York and Europe will be shortened
two hundred and twenty-five miles, while
the saving of freight between Baltimore
and New York will be about fifty cents a
ton. The estimated cost of the enter
prise is eight millions of dollars, and the
company are authorized to levy a toll I
charge of twenty cents per ton upon all J
traffic passing through the canaL
In spite of dull times the New York I
Tier aid has, a “rush,” every Saturday, of I
advertisers for the Sunday edition. Last
Sunday the rush indicated the opening I
spring business. The paper appeared in I
quintuple form—twenty pages and one
hundred and twenty columns. It took
a hundred compositors to set up the ad
vertisements and reading matter, on
Saturday night, and three sets of stereo
type forms had to be sent to press. Seven
“doable perfecting presses” were set at
work, and fourteen to twenty-eight plates
were stereotyped from each of the twenty
pages—the whole edition requiring three
hundred and thirty-six plates, having an
aggregate weight of eight tons of type
metal, and employing twenty-fivostereo
typers, who have to do their work within
a very brief time, between two and three
o’clock in the morning.
What is Hcbtdw California.—The
San Francisco Chronicle, in ad vocating
the Tuttle mining bill for the regulation
of mining operations remarks : “The
man or the newspaper that does not see
that the chief cause of the di.stre.s3 in this
.State to-day Ls the concentration of
wealth in few hand-, through the corpo
rations and the Stock Boards, by the
heavy assessments and the constant ‘milk
ing’ process of the last three years, is
wanting in ordinary intelligence. A
more perfect machine for impoverishing
the masses could not be devised. Can an
honest Legislature permit it to continue
without attempting a remedy for at least
its worst features? No vague declarations
of general principles will do any good.
There must lie an ironclad law, with a
man of firmness to enforce it.”
The Massachusetts Republicans are
alarmed at the position of Beast Butler.
Ills followers constitute the balance of
power between the parties in that State,
and Senator lloar, his particular and
personal enemy, has aroused in him a
desire for revenge by needlessly in
fluencing Ilayes against Simmons and a
certain aspirant for the Methuen post-
mastership. The anxiety is to ascertain
what method of revenge Butler will
adopt; the fear is that he will either run
for the Governorship himself or allow
the Democrats to elect their State ticket
at the next election.
Rev. Joseph Cook, of Massachusetts*
the theological biologist, regards the re
monetization of silver as almost as great
a calamity as would lie the demonetiza
tion of original sin. He thinks that the
East is under “the bondage of uneducated
opinion” in the West, and that until this
bondage is broken the country must
travel straight toward political perdition.
Mr. Cook should continue his wrestle
with Genesis and let finance alone, unless
lie can prove that Moses was an Egyptian
bondholder and got his interest in gold.
The New York Tribune says of Ilayes:
“Thus far, his administration is a failure.
It is doubtful whether he has still the
power to make it anything else.” Upon
these two points the Republican authori
ties seem to agree. And through all the
turmoil out of which the conclusions
have grown, Hayes has lieen, according
to Republican correspondents, “calm,
serene and self-complacent.” Nothing,
one says, “disturbs the serenity which
broods over the White House.”
At the Cabinet meeting on Friday, es
timates and tables were sqbmitted by
Secretary Sherman, from which it ap
peared that under the operation of the
tariff bill the revenue would fall off
annually from $14,000,000 to $15,000,000,
and to meet the actual expenditures of
the government, it would liecome neces
sary to make up the deficiency by a tariff
on articles now on the free list.
A new play by Mr. yiinturn, called

fully presented in New York. Among
the characters arc George Douglas, a
Colonel in the Union army, Eugene
D’Arcy, an officer in the Confederate
army, and various personages of Union
and Confederate sympathies. It is a ro
mantic drama.
In Pennsylvania the “National Party”
has some strength, and shows indications
of desiring an alliance with the Demo
crats. The Republican leaders are doing
tbojr utmost to prevent such an alliance,
as it would inevjtabiy result in the choice
of a Democrat to succeed Don Cameron
in the Senate.

Lovdos, Mirth 12.—In the House of
Lords Earl Derby said the question
whether the Congress would have full mate
rials to form a judgment on all questions to
be submitted was undoubtedly of great im
portance. He considered it useless and fool
ish to go into the Congress unless it had a
real, and not merely a nominal, power of deal

Government is now in communication with
other governments on this subject.

REDUCTION OF WAGES.
London, March 12.—The Coal Owners As
sociation of North Yorkshire and South
Derbyshire have determined to reduce mi

men would probably consent to a
five per cent, reduction, but it is
thought likely they wfll resist a decrease of
seven and a half per cent. This resolution
of the Coal Owners’ Association affects
between twenty-five thousand and thirty
thousand miners. The manufacturers in
the north of England iron trade are also
demanding a reduction of wages of their
employes, varying from ten hi seventeen
percent. From preparations the men are
making, it is believed they intend to or

EGYPTIAN FINANCES.
London. March 12.—The trouble touching
the Egyptian finances is that the Khedive
show* a disposition to refuse to carry out
the agreement made by him with English
and French bondholders through Messrs.
Goschen and Joubest. It has been appre
hended for some time that the Khedive eon-
temDialed following Turkey's example of
entirely suspending payments.
RUSSIANS STILL ADVANCING.
London. Morcti 12.—A Reuter dispatch
from Constantinople reports that the Rus
sians have occupied Fekerkeni, half an
hour's march from Buyukdoc on the Bos
phorus. They also occupy a majority of the
villages around Constantinople and continue
advancing towards the citv.
The sword which Victor Emanuel wore
during the campaign of 1S59, and which
has just been presented to the munici

“Long live the Italian Republic!” “To
live free or die.” The weapon was used
by Marshal Massena in the days of the
First Napoleon.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION—REPUBLI
CAN LOSSES.
Boston, March 12.—Seventy towns in New
Hampshire give Prescott, Republican,
11,777; McKean. 10.755: scattering 191. The
same towns last year gave Prescott 12,201,.,
Macv 10.447, scattering I'M. ■ Republican
net loss 017. The same relative net loss
throughout the State will make the choice
of Governor by the popular vote very doubt
ful, and probably throw the election in the
Legislature.
I let urns from New Hampshire to 9 p. m.
indicate the election of eighty Republican
and sixty-five Democratic members to the
Legislature.
FAILURE TO AUCTION OFF DRCG3.
New York, March 12.—An effort was
made this morning to establish a trade sale
of drug? by auction, a new feature in dis
posing of such merchandise, at the saleroom
of Francis Stabler, in Cedar street. Out of
a catalogue of one hundred and twenty-
eight lots there were only sold one bale of
Curacoa orange peel at twelve cents, and one
barrel of bleached shellac at twenty-five
cents. The prices bid were so low in most
instances, scarcely reaching one-eighth of
their wholesale value, that the auctioneers
withdrew the goods. On many articles there
was not a single bid.
SCHURZ ON THE LOG QUESTION.
Washington, March 12.—Secretary Schurz
concludes a long statement to Congress on
the log question thus: “It must therefore be
conceded, I think, that the cutting or re
moval of timber of any kind from the public
lands subjects the person guilty of the of
fense to the punishment prescribed by the
statutes, and I am not aware nor have I yet
learned that the taking and removing’of
timber in violation of this express statute is
any less an offense than the taking and re
moving of any other kind of property in
violation of some other statute.*•
PRINTING THE SILVER CERTIFICATES.
Washington, March 12.—Superintendent
McPherson, of the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving, is pushing the work on the
silver certificates under the new law. The
first will be for ten dollars, with the head of
Robert Morris. The last will be for a thou
sand dollars. The engravings are proposed
to be equal in style to legal tender notes.

FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE.
London, March 12.—The Mark Ixme
Express' review of the grain trade says:
“Both in Mark Lane and the provinees
business is restricted, as growers are not
able to make up their minds to accept lower
rates, at which buyers are expected to
purchase. Sales, however, have only been
practicable at a decline of a shil
ling per quarter, although the reduc
tion principally affected badly conditioned
parcels. Imports of foreign wheat .into
London and Liverpool have large buyers,
who are enabled to satisfy their wants on
rather easier terras. The trade is somewhat
more depressed than of late, bat the
demand has nevertheless been mainly
retail. Considerable interest is centered
for the moment upon the Black
Sea ports, and the large shipments
of grain taking place in Odessa, but in
what condition these supplies will reach us
after having been stored in the up-country
districts of Southern Russia for many
months is a matter of conjecture. There
will probably be some delay iu shipping
wheat from this source, the transport ser
vices being very inefficient.”
THE HOT SPRINGS SUFFERERS.
Hot Springs, Arkansas, March 12.—The
liberal donation of five hundred dollars
from the ChieagoBoard of Trade has swollen
the cash contributions for the relief of the
sufferers by the recent conflagration heie
to sorqetbliig oyer' two thousand dollars.
Much has already been done for the relief of
the most pressing needs, but a generous
public should be informed that much still
remains to be done.
