SAVANNAH. GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 188!).
BURKE IS COMING HOME.
HE IS READY TO PAY IF HE OWES
THE STATE.
The Affairs of His Office Intrusted to
ether Men During Two Years That
the Exposition Required His Atten
tion-The Major and His Wife Both
Broken In Health.
London, Sept, 27.—A representative of
tha Associa ed Press called upon Maj. E.
A. Burke of New Orleans, e c-treasurer of
the state qf Louisiana, at his hotel this
morning. Maj. Burke was very busily
engaged in the di patch of necessary busi
ness, preparatory ta his departure for
America on the Etruria to-morrow.
When asked if he desired to make any
statement in regard to the alleged irregu
larities in connection with the state bonds
when he was treasurer of Louisiana Mr.
Burke expressed regret that he was not in
condition to give full information. He bad
no knowledge of the charges that had been
made, or of t e present situation at New
Orleans, except such as had beau conveyed
to him in brief cable dispatches. Tnese
were not adequate to enable him fully to
understand what allegations had been
made, nor upon what ground. He had
gathered from them, however, that the
situation was of sufficient gravity to make
it highly expedient teat he return to Amer
ica at once.
what his return involves.
This would involve the abandonment for
the present of important badness interests
in L indo i, whioti wound be likely to re
sult in serious pecuniary loss. But he did
not hesitate to make the sacrifice, fir he
f lit that he must hasten h une in order to
meet at once any quutiou that might
arise touching the administration of the
office of state treasurer during toe nine
years of his incumbency. For two years
of tiie period lie had tae office his time and
attention were aim st wholly absorb ;d iu
the work of the international exposition at
New Orleans.
IN OTHER MEN’S HANDS.
During all this time the affairs of the
state treasurer’s office were left almost cn
ti.ely in the hands of men in whom ha had
ariiolute confidence. A’, the time when he
surrendered the office an exhaustive inquiry
into its administration was iia le by a legis
lative committee aided by experts from five
b ulks and from tue commercial agencies of
R. G. Dnn & Cos., and Bradstreet’s. The
report of this committee issued in July.
18S7, maU- s the position of the coupons
perfectly clear.
EXAMINED AT HIS REQUEST.
Mr. Burke emphasizes the fact that it was
at ids special roque-t thas tbe’commi.t e of
inquiry examine singly every coupon that
had boon paid. Ha denies that ho ever paid
any invalid c >upons. A small number of
coud ms, he declares, were put adde and
were never paid. These are now in hiapos
sevsio ■, and will show for themselves. Ho
expressed a determination to go on his re
turn fully into tue whole matter, a. he
realize; the serious ess of the situation.
But he thought it u idesiraole to discuss toe
questions now in London; he preferred to
wait till he reached home and had tue light
of full information.
READY TO PAY ANY INDEBTEDNESS.
11l c inclusion, Mr. Burke said, with em
phasis: “If it can be show that lam in
debted to the state of Louisiana in any way,
I am ready to make the indebce ines; go d.”
Mr. Burke’s health li f9oble. Ho has been
undergoing severe surgical op ra.io s
during tha past four months. Mis. Burke
also has be -n prostra ed with illness. Mr.
Burke said his intention had been not to
sail for America u itil OcS. 5, but his dis
patches snow that the situation of affairs in
New Orleans is so urgent that he had no
alternative but to bring to a sudden termi
nation the business wliich had brought him
to London.

SECRETS OF A STRIKE.
Startling Revelations Promised in the
at. Louis War.
Chicago, Sept. 27.—A special dispatch
from St. Louis says: “Important deposi
tions bearing on the great strike of 188(5

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD,
BUT INTEREST HIGHER.
Cold Weather Betters Trade in the
Northwest, and Improving Manufac- j
tures and a Heavy Export Trade
Helping Out in the East—Stocks aud
Wheat Higher.
Nf.w York, Sent. 27.—R. G. Dun & Cos.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Thu business indications this week are
generally favo.a le. Throughout the
northwest ( older weather has made trade
more active, and at the east improving
ma ifactures and a heavy export trade
stimulates busiu ss of all kinds. The
exports from New York for the four weeks
exceed last yaar’s by 25 pir cent., and a like
gain elsewhere would mean an excess of
exports over imports for the mo ith a|i
pronching $9,000,000. for the increase in
imports here has been but por cent.
MONEY DEARER.
But ttaar, excess would not meet the
month’s allowance for interest, under valu
ations and freight charges, so that foreign
exchange has advanced during the week
half a cent. The Bank of Englund lias
raised its rate from 4 to 5 per
cent., and that bank lost $855,000 snecie for
the week, the Bank of Franco also losing
$2,275,000, and the Bank of Germany
$2,214,000. The;e evidences of foreign de
ma and, with the state of the reserves at New
York, render the monetary future less clear,
and rates for money have advanced during
the week fully 1 per cent, on call,
with increasing caution in commercial
loans. The treasury has helped during the
weak by disbursing $2,250,009 more than it
has taken iu, aud reports from interior
points all indicate an ample supply of
tu mey for legitimate needs, ad no
stringency.
THE STOCK MARKET.
Until Thursday the stock market had
been compar itively inactive, though not
decli i ig. Bt a sharp advance has since
appeared, putting the average of prices
fully 50 cents higher thau a week ago. Re
ports of foreign buying of securities are
circulated, but the market is still mainly
conttued to the pr fessionsls, though its
advaucc should indicate stronger confidence
as to the monetary future, and also to on
early settlement of rates.
manufactures improving.
Manufac. ures are. clearly improving. At
Bost m the s ties of wool have bee i 2,290,000
pounds for the week, with prices about
steady and the demand more active. At

ness is going to improve.
iron and steel.
The demand for iron and steel still meets
a very large supply, and the changes in
price aro nil upwurd. Pig iron can si ill be
had at $lO 75 for southern and sl7 f r
northern No. 1, sl6 for No. 2 a.id sls
for mill, but from $1 to $1 50 more is
paid f-r preferred brands. Blooms have
advanced $1; bar, plate and structural mills
are tmsy, and while $2!) is asked for rails at
all eastern mills and $39 quoted at Puila
delpfiia, suen prices are not yet established
by considerable sates. At Pittsburg $3150
is quoted, and at Chicago $33. The rise
from the lowest point has boon $3 at the
east a dss at the west. The scarcity of
manganese ore, which has risen $5 at Pitts
burg, is an important eie cent.
COAL BTRONOER.
Coal is rather stronger, but the demand
does not yet meet the supply.
Copper has . een a shade slronger abroad,
but dull here at 11 ceu.s for lake, and the
p eparation to refine the large Amico ,di
output by electric pr cess promises to
greatly increase the supply of the better
qualities.
wheat’s rise.
Wheat has risen '2% cents during the
week, on sales of 21,099,090 bushels, not be
cau eof larger foreign demand, bit be
cause the supplies coming from tue farms
do not grade so well and are not so large as
was ex, ected. Prices are low at best, but
there is nothing t modify the belief that
the supply for the year will much exceed
all demands. Corn has fallen over half a
cent, and oats a quarter, with moderate
trading.
LIVERPOOL’S COTTON CORNER.
A Liverpool corner in cotton is threat
ened by a general stoppage of the mills and
a rapid movement from the American
plantations, the port receipts thus far ex
ceeding last year’s by 139,000 bales and the
exports by 54,000, and the price has declined
Ihreesixteentus.
Coffee is JT cent lower on sales of 312,000
bags, and oil 1 cent lower on small trading.
Pork products are rather stronger, and
butter is 2 cents higher.
AN UPWARD TENDENCY.
The general tendency of prices is up
ward, t ough the advance for the week lias
been slight. But the sign of greater
activity’ in all directions are encouraging,
and the only unfavorable symptom is un
certainty as to t e mo .etary supply.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during last week number
fo the United’ States 165, and for Canada
27; atotal of 193, against 198 last week.
