Director General Davis, of the World’s fair, called on the president I Thursday and said it was the general 1 desire that the president should eloso the World’s fair. A definite answer has not yet been given. The action of tho railroads in rais ing the rates on all Memphis freight has alienated tho sympathy of busi ness men from the roads, and Mem phis business men are Jond in their J denunciation of tho railroads.

Mr. Garrison has been more than twenty years in the treasury depart ment. j The navy department has advices of j tho arrival of tho United States cruiser ; | Charleston nt Janeiro, Brazil, Wed- I | nesday. It is anticipated that some j ’ authentic news of the progress of j of events there will now roach the j I United States through the navy de- j : partment. A dispatch of Thursday from Romo j to tho Central Newti says tho Italian ' government lias decided to refuse to j j grant exequaturs to all Italian bishops i nominated at tho last papal consistory.

It is said they were brought from Chigago, \ \ the World’s fair affording especially \ good facilities for making counterfeit bills. Tho police are certain, any how, that the bills were manufactured in America and detectives are busily j occupied in their inquiries on this sup- j posion. A cable dispatch of Thursday from Rome, Italy, says: The mail steamer Carlo R., which sailed from Genoa for | Itio, Brazil, on July 29th, lias returned j with cholero aboard her and is in j quarantine at Asinura island, near ! 1 Sardinia. Tho steamer was infected ! j when sho reached Brazil and was not i ! allowed to land any passengers. Dur ; ing the whole voyage 111 persons died ! J of cholera, most of them on the way \ , home. | A Washington special says: Fears i for tho safety of the cruiser New York, i should sho attempt to proceed to tho I Norfolk navy yard, caused Secretary Herbert to decide Thursday afternoon I to order tho vessel to tho Brooklyn ! | navy yard, where repairs and fitting ! intended to be done at Norfolk will | take place. The heavy draft of tho ■ j cruiser rendered it exceedingly risky ! for her to steam to the navy yard, j l The material to bo used in fitting out the New York will be sent from Nor folk to Brooklyn. In tho United States circuit court at New York, Wednesday afternoon, ! Judge Lacombe appointed Samuel M. ' Javis, of Kansas City, Mo., and Eo- j ! land R. Conkling, of New York, re- I reivers for tho Jarvis-Conkln Mort i gage Trust Insurance Company, Mis souri, on application of Benjamin I Fowler, of Poughkeepsie, and J. G. I Zaehry, of New York city.

Surgeon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service, received a ca blegram Wednesday from Consul Rosenthal, at Leghorn, Italy, stating that cholera was increasing at an alarming rate thero. During tho past twenty-four hours twenty-six new cases developed, making a total of sixty-five cases now under treatment, i Dr. Wyman has ordered Dr. O.

Tho Coquitlan was seized for supplying the British sealers with pro visions and taking off their seal skins in Alaska waters, without entries at a United States port. BUSINESS REVIEW. Condition of Trade as Reported by Dun & Cos. for the Past Week. R. G. Dun & Cos. ’s weekly reviow of trade says: A complete statement of failures for the quarter, which closed Friday night, is not possible, but tho number thus far reported is about | 4, 000, and tho aggregate of liabilities ! about $150,000,000, greatly surpassing tho record of any previous quarter. | For tho past week the failures have been 329 in the United States, against 177 last year, and in Canada3l against | 31 last year. ’’Hope deferred” explains the past week in part, nnd it is doubtless true that many indulged unreasonable hopes, lmt business has not entiroly answered expectations. Tho feeling of disappointment is oommonly as cribed to delay of action on tho silver bill in tho senate. It is slho true that | many works, which have resumed op erations, do not find orders as large or tho demand from customers ns vig orous as they anticipated, and with some it is a question whether they will not close again. While money on call has been abundant and cheap, and about $4,500,000 clearing house certificates have been retired, thero is n percepti ble greater caution in making com mercial loans at New York and atsonio western points. Confidence, prover bially of slow growth, has boon some what diminished, in part, bocauso ad vancing oxohango suggests tho possi bility of gold exports. Tlio cotton manufacture is gaining more than any other, and there is a stronger market for print cloths and prints, while some reduction has helped to stimulate trade !in other goods. The enormous de crease in production for tho past two months begins to bo felt, and sales are larger, though much below tho usual 1 qantity. While seventy-oiglit manufacturing 1 concerns aro reported as starting, I wholly or in part, against twenty cloa | ing or reducing force, moro than n | third of tho increase has been in cot j ton mills, and another third iu ma j chine shops, nail mills, manufacturers : of stoves anil hardware, tiols uud ears, while in tho iron mnimfailuro proper, i only seven concerns hnvo started, ; against three that have stopped, and the outlook does not seem brighter. The closing of tho largest iron inino in tho country, tho Norris, which ordina rily produces a million tons yearly, ! indicates tho limited character of tho | business. At tho oast tho demand for products | is painfully inadequate, eveu for the scanty force now at work, and the lowest prices on record little j 'business. It is said vunTrmo sale of ! steel rails has been effected by a sharp reduction in price. The* contest be tween the Amalgamated Association ! and the works in the Pittsburg region, has been but tooi'ato for most | of tho men. CHOLERA IN EtIFOPE. The Scourge Is On the Increase ami Many Victims Kepurteil. A cablegram was receiv and lit Wash ington Wednesday front Leghorn, Italy, signed by A. N. Rosenthal, Uni ted States consul, announcing that cholera is increasing to an alarming extent iu Leghorn. Twenty-six cases were discovered within twenty-four hours. There are now fifty-six cases under treatment. A CIIOI-EKA STHIOKBN VESSEL. Captain Black, of the steamer Ho garth, which arrived at New York Wednesday morning from Santos, re ports while at Santos, September 2nd, lie was informed that the Italian stenme,r, Vincenzo FJori, from Genoa to Rio, loaded with immigrants, and which was refused admission to the ports of Brazil owing to cholera on board, had for some days been lying outside in a holpless condition. Deaths reported to be from twenty to thirty daily, anil the bodies of tho ; victims, their bedding nnd clothing, were thrown overboard and washed ashore. It is supposed the vessel is without medical assistance or supplies and has insufficient provisions or cion to proceed further. MINERS DROWNED. Thirty-Seven Unfortunates Caught in a Flooded Mine. Tho Mansfield mine, a few miles from Crystal Falls, Mich., caved in Thursday night and a number of miners wero entombed beyond hope of rescue of any of them alive. Tho ac cident occurred during tho night, 'iho water of the river rushed into the mine and tho men wero entrapped like rats. It is not possible that any es caped. Most of the victims nro Cor ; nish men and nine-tenths of them aro men with largo families. The number | of the victims is now placed at thirty seven. Mansfield is an isolated sta tion on tho Chicago and Northwestern railroad. The mine was the or. ly ac tive one in the Crystal Falls district on account of its being a producer of high-grade bessemer ore. It bad a producing capacity of about sixty thousand tons per annnm, and gave employment to about one hundred men. The Mansfield mine has always been considered a dangerous one to work in, and Thursday night’s disaster often been predicted. The Work of Wieekers. The worst wreck in the history of the Mobile and New Orleanfjdivision of the Louisville and Nashvil e railroad oc curred at Gulfport, Miss., at 1 o’clock Thursday morning. Passenger train No. 2, consisting of three sleepers, pas senger and smoking coaches, mail and baggage and expreeß ( cf and engine and tender, went into i Ten switch.
