WASHINGTON NOTES
NEWS CONCERNING THE VARI¬
OUS DEPARTMENTS.
Sayings and Doings of the President
mid Members of the Cabinet.
necretnry Carlisle has appointed
George Fort, of Georgia, chief of the
division of national hanks in the office
of the treasurer of th • United States,
vice Raker, resigned.
Tuesday Secretary Carlisle received
from Acting Attorney General Max¬
well mi opinion in which he holds that
the word “wool,’’ us used in the wool¬
en schedule of the new tariff act, refers
to the hair of sheep only, and that the
new and lower duties on goods made
of the hair of the other animals went
into effect on the signing of the act.
Ever since the decision was reached
hv the California circuit court that
Antonio Kzetn, the ex vice president
of Salvador, was a political offender,
and therefore could Dot he extradited,
1 he officials at Washington have been
expecting to hear of some movement
against either Guatemala or Salvador
from Mexico, According to advices
which have reached the state depart¬
ment, E/.eta h ;ih been in Mexico ever
since his liberation, but what his move¬
ments have been is not known.
I lie Souvenir Half Dollars.
The ('hicugo souvenir coin of the
great world’s fair is to become a eur
rent half dollar. 11 was at one time
supposed that these coins would com*
man cl fancy prices ns souvenirs, This
expectation was not realized. Tlie
whole issue authorized by congress
would have 1 M en 1 nriH d ov< r to the
world’s fair managers blit for their vi¬
olation of the agreement, which was
made a condition of the gift in r< spect
to opening the fair ou Sunday. Owing
to this l»r<aeh of the agreement, $1,
69.),980 in souvenir halves remained in
the treasury at the dost* of the fair.
A demand having recently sprung up
for them at their face value, Secretary
< arlisle has issued an order to tho
sul>treasuries directing them to pay
out on demand the souvenir coins at
the same ratio as the legalized half
dollar of the United States, namely, at
par with gold.

General Schofield's Report.
Major General Schofield, general
in-cliief of the army, has made to the
secretary of war his report on the op¬
erations of the army during the past
year. The report is of peculiar in¬
ti list, both on account of the fact that
in it General Schofield, who has been
at the head of the army since the
dt nth of General Sheridan, announces
his retirement next year, and from the
fact that it is principally devoted to
the discussion of tho necessity of
srengtheuing the military arm of
the government to cope with inter¬
nal disorder ns well us nith possible
danger from without, particular refer¬
ence being made to the Debs strike.
General Schofield is a politician as
well ns a soldier, and at considerable
length lie discusses this subject rom a
political as well as from a military
point of view. He says the prompt
and vigorous action of tho troops in
all cases, nud the great forbearance
manifested by them when subjected to
ail sorts of insults and indignities, de¬
signed to provoke retaliation, were
iv ortliv of the very highest commen¬
dation.

TRADfc TOPICS.
K. O. Dun & r'oA Report of Business
for the Past Week.
R. 0. Dun & Co.’e weekly renew of
trade for the past week rbts:
“The lowest prices ever known for
wheat and cotton necessarily imply
somewhat restricted resumption of
other products. With the chief money
crops of the west and south sinking in
value, it is not strange that purchases
of manii actured pro Juris are smaller
than was expected. Wheat has touch
ed the lowest point ever known for op
tions, and cotton the lowest ever known
in any form with the present classifi

S’ „ m H», r, al “° a
vi ry strange if the demand for mauu
fnctured products should ho quite as
large ss in other yt ars.
Cotton is one-eighth of a cent low-
1 r, the oa-h price being the lowest
known for forty-five years, and con
ridering the difference in classifica¬
tion, it is perhaps lower than at any
time in 1819, and estimates that the
crop is more than 10,000,000 bales arc
more commonly credited now than
estimates of 8,500,000 were two months
With favorable weather the
“Cotton print cloths are a shade
strong* r, as the news from Fall River
regarding the duration of the strike is
less encouraging, but for other goods
i he market is low, as might be expect¬
ed in view of tin* heavy decline in the
raw material.
“ The condition of industries is in
some respects more satisfactory, Evi
dently there is a larger demand for
iron products than there was a month
ago, though the increase in output has
lieen somewhat greater than the in¬
crease in the demand, so that prices
steadily tend downward.
“Bessemer pig iron is selling at $10.
00 at Pittsburg and bar iron at 95 cents,
with steel bars at $1.05, while a con
tract to suppress the principal western
competitor in nail manufacture is ex¬
pected to hold tho price at $1 for wire
and 85 cents for cut nails. The struct¬
ural iron market is fairly active at the
west, without change at the east, and
while the coke output has now become
the heaviest ever known, 149,775 tens
for the week, the price is declining and
steps are being taken to limit the sup¬
ply. The volume of domestic trade in¬
dicated by the exchanges at the princi¬
pal clearing houses is 11.8 per cent
larger than a year ago, but in compar¬
ison with 1892 shows a decrease of 22.8
per cent.
“In the money market more corn
mereial paper is coming into sight,
though on the whole the market is by
named no means encouraging and good single
paper has been placed at 3 per
cent, the lowest rate on record.
“Commercial failure in third qunr
ter of 1894 have involved liabilities of
$29,361,196 exclusive of banking in¬
stitutions and railroads, against $82,
F Jp o rte d - fl f €ixrn&r-4t
samo quarter, and for nine months of
1894 the liabilities have been $131,
094,502, against $251,334,265 last
year. Tho manufacturing liabilities
were $12,331,892, against $23,605,865
reported a year ago, and in trading
$14,131,280 for the quarter, against
$58,814,176 a year ago. For the month
of September the liabilities have beeu
smaller than in any other month this
year,only $6,837,124,of which $2,904,-
373 were of manufacturing and $3,-
650,092 of trading concerns.
“The failures for the past week have
been 219 in the United States, against
320 last year, and thirty-nine in Can¬
ada, against forty-five last year.”
ENGLISH TROOPS FOR CHINA.
Preparations for Sending 10,000 Sol¬
diers to tlie Empire.
A cable dispatch from London says:
It can bo stated on authority that the
developments of the past week in east¬
ern affairs will lead to concerted action
on the part of the European powers.
Ou Monday last, Mr. N. E. O’Connor,
the British minister at Peking, warned
the foreign office by cable that the
condition of affairs in China was such
that the government was not able to
guarantee protection to the foreign
residents at the treaty ports, and the
missionaries in the interior of the
country. The minister in the same
dispatch stated that the Chinese impe¬
rial eouueil was disorganized, and that
the collapse of the government was not
looked upon as an impossibility, and
advised that instant action be taken
for the protection of lives and prop¬
erty of British subjects iu China.
The substance of this dispatch was
at once communicated by Lord Rose¬
bery to tho governments of France,
Russia and Germany, with the sugges¬
tion that the powers co-operate iu in¬
creasing the guards at the treaty ports
and iu measures for tho protection of
the missionaries.
When the cabinet met on Thursday,
friendly responses from all three of
the powers named had been received,
and these so thoroughly cleared up the
situation as to enable the ministers to
give the premier and the earl of Kim¬
berly, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, a free baud to take whatever
steps in the matter they might con¬
sider necessary. No question of inter¬
vention between Japan and China has
arisen, however.
It is reported that preparations are
being made to send 10,000 troops to
occnpy the leading treaty ports, and
if the present intention is carried out,
parliament on reassembling will be
asked to graut a credit of £4,000,000
to cover the expenses of the expedi¬
tion.
The offers of mediation between
China and Japau are ail widely diver¬
gent. The truth of the matter is that
it is the general belief in ofticial cir¬
cles that the members of + ho cabinet
are uuanim nsly against any foreign
interference, and, so far as Great
Britain is concerned, favor allowing
the Japanese to reap the full fruits of
their victory, unless, of course, they
seek to injure the commercial interests
of Europe.
_
Carlisle for the Senate.
A special from Frankfort says: The
Jlaily Capital, official democratic pa¬
per of Kentucky, will announce Sec¬
retary Carlisle as a candidate for
United States senator.

a desire to have the quarantine station
placed under control of the marine
hospital service.
Communication lias been re-estab¬
lished with all points on the Florida
coast visited by the storm which raged
Monday night and Tuesday morning,
aud dispatches tell woeful tales of the
destruction caused by the wind and
w’ater. Apalachicola and Cedar Key
were directly in the storm’s path, and
the damage at those places is almost
incalculable.
A Pensacola, Fla., special says: Tho
Norwegian bark, Jabes, arrived at
quarantine Thursday night with the
crew of a bark loaded with mahogany
wrecked in the gulf and whose name
has not yet been ascertained. Tlie
Norwegian bark. Thomas G. Folk, was
spoken October 9th, in latitude 27.6

most mizzen-mast standing. She sig¬
nalled that they were all well and no
assistance was needed.
A dispatch received at the foreign
office in London from the British con

tured Che Foo.
A cable dispatch from Yokohama
says: It is reported that the Japan¬
ese have captured Che Foo, which is
a treaty port of China on the north
coast of the Shang Tung promontory.
It has a gobd harbor, an active trade
and a population estimated to number
about 30,000. •
The Westminister Gazette (London)
also publishes a dispatch from Yoko¬
hama which says that the Japanese
have captured Chee Foo. The gov¬
ernment, however, has received no in¬
formation confirming this report. A
dispatch from Hong-Kong says that
the Min river at Foo-Chow has been
closed to shipping. The British war¬
ship Undaunted has been ordered to
Nagasaki, and the gunboat Firebrand
to Xew-Chvang.
ITALY TRYING TO ARBITBATE.
The Italian minister at Pekin has
addressed a note to China, at the re¬

pourparlers with Japan in an endeavor
to bring about an end of the war. and
tendering his own offices in order to
complete such an arrangement.
The general of the Jesuits has sent a
memorial to the pope, asking the lat¬

CORBET I’ AND F1TZ
Meet in New York ami Ai range for a
Slugging 3Iateh.
James J. Corbett ami Robert Fitz¬
simmons met in the New York Herald
office Thursday morning for the pur¬
pose of arranging a match.
Captain Glori, who appeared for
Fitzsimmons, when asked by Corbett
to show the color of his money, dis¬
played 81,000 to bind the match.
Corbett then showed 810,000, and
told Glori to cover it when he pleased,
but there would be no light until after
July 1, as he would uot cancel his prof¬
itable theatrical engagements.
This was a disappointment, but
Fitzsimmons and Glori agreed, and the
work of drawing up the articles be¬
gan.
Ill answer to the question if willing
to fight after July 1, Fitzsimmons re
plied:
“I will fight him any time.”
It was finally agreed to battle. eome
time after July 1st next, at the Florida
athletic club, Jacksonville, the club to
fix the date of the fight.
FIXING THE PFF.3E.
Having yielded on tlio question of
the date, then the club was the next
problem.
The first oft'er was $25,000, by
Scholl, of the Olympic, of New Or¬
leans, which was increased to $30,000
by Williams, of tlie Auditorium Club
of the same city.
This was raised to $41,000 by “Cir¬
cular Joe” Ycndig, for the Florida
Athletic Club of Jacksonville.
Williams said $35,000 was his limit.
Scholl mentioned $50,000, which
called forth smiles. Corbett said the
bid was wild, and tko money must be
shown. Scholl produced $5,000, which
Corbett said was not enough to post
for $50,000.
Fiizsimmons evidently wanted to
fight before the Olympic, while Corbett
preferred Florida.
Fitzsimmons finally said : “Well, I
will yield every point in order to make
a match. I will sign with the Florida
Athletic Club.”
The articles will be precisely the
same as those signed by Corbett and
Sullivan, with the exception of the
dates upon which the deposits are to
be made. The articles were nut signed
by either Corbett or Fitzsimmons, but
they wmre each furnished with a copy,
as was the Florida Athletic Club.
The articles will be signed outside of
the state and will be mailed to the
sporting editor of the Herald. It is
a misdemeanor to sign articles of
agreement for a prize fight in New
York state.

a on stoek and
$25,000 on the building. The fire
started in the boiler room and shot up
the freight elevator shaft, gaining,
such a headway that the firemen were
unable to save any portion of the
lmildiiyr nr enute^-p^ M|
The floors of the building fell in at*
9:15 o’clock and the front and rear
walls immediately collapsed. The
men of engine company No. 9, chemi¬
cal No, 1 and truck No. 2 were work¬
ing in the windows and doors on the
ground floor in front. In the rear the
men of engine company No, 8 were
playing on the fire from a bridge that
spanned the alley. The men were
working close to the rear walls
and when they collapsed they
w T ere completely imbedded in
the debris. Every man in the
company, except the captain, was more
or less injured and Frederick A. Bus¬
sey, a spectator, who was standing be¬
neath the bridge, was killed. The
work of rescue was immediately be¬
gun and in fifteen minutes the men
who had been working in the alley
were taken out. The firemen working
on the front of the building did not
fare so well, however. When the first
crack of the falling floors was heard,
the men started to run, but the walls
came dowm on them so swiftly that all
were buried under tons of brick and
mortar. The walls did not fall out¬
side of the middle of the side walk and
the last brick had scarcely touched
the walk before the work of rescue in
front began.
HURRICANE IN NEW YORK.
Great Damage Results and a Number
of Lives Lost.
A New York special of Wednesday
says : The gulf storm which br’oke up¬

Southern railroad, between Sea Bright
and Highland Beach, N. J., have been
covered with sand and washed up by
the waves.
The fishing smack Louise was driven
ashore at Highland Beach, and is a to¬
tal loss. Her crew of ten men was
taken off by the life saving crew.
At Sea Bright and vicinity, a number
of buildings were unroofed.
At Long Island City the big iron
tank belonging to the East River Gas
Company was blown down to within
five feet of its foundation. The tank was
200 feet high and 185 feet wide.
