The recent count of money at the New
\ ork sub-Treasury revealed a di-crepan-
cy of $35 out of a total sum of $184,000,-

resulted from the acceptance of a few
counterfeit notes in the hurry of business,
and by the loss of a few pieces of silver.

Gitt, one of the chiefs of a division in
the Pension Office, was summar.ly dis¬
charged, although he is a Republican.
Rev. John W. Scott, the Piesident’s
father-in-law, is a clerk under Gitt, and
becaused he chased up the Rev. Scott
about his duties, the dismissal took
place.
The Fresident has accepted the resig¬
nation of Judye George A. Jenks as So¬
licitor General of the Department al
Justice. Mr. Jenks resigned upon the
change of administration, but was re
Quested to remain in office until the close

Secretary Tracy awarded the Richmond,
Ya Locomotive Works the contract
for supplying the boilers and machinery
of the battle ship Texas, now building

fixed iu the contract is $634,500.
The Richmond bidders were in compe¬

which satisfied the department of their
ability to undertake the work of this
magnitude.

pletcd plans fot the £.000 ton gun¬
boats, and is now’ hard at work upon the

general plan was originated outside of
the Thomas, Navy Department by Representative
a member of the naval commit¬
tee of the last House of Representatives.
The vessel is to be of a modified monitor
type, and her peculiarities will be in hu
heavy ordnance, great defensive power
and ability to make long cruises with
her ample coal capacity, diff rmg iu this
last respect from the o!d monitor type.

and the remainder in United States notes,
na ional bank notes, gold and silver cer¬
tificates and lraetional silver coin. Thi-

Monday rendered an opinion in the cast
Of Chae of Chang the Ping, appellant, vs. col
lector port of Sau Francisco. This
is a suit brought to test the constitution -
ality of the Scott Chinese ex¬
clusion ret. Chae Chang Ping re¬
turned to the United States from China
and endeavored to secure entrance at
the port cf Sau Francisco. He had left
tins country armed with a certificate en¬
titling him to return, but the certificate
was declared invalid by the Scott act.
The collector refused him admittance,
and suit was then brought in the United
States court fir the district of California

For some time the White House has
been infested with rats, $nd while the
plumbing was being arranged this Spring,
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
rid ti e executive mansion of the vermin.
Secretary Rusk heard of the trouble,
and when the President and family left
on their recent excursion the secretary
declared he had rid many a barn of rats,
and he guessed he would try a shot at
the TVhite House. He sent over to the
Department and had the chemist mix up
a hotrible compound of phosphorus,
corn-meal and arsenic, and it was taken
to the White House. Sunday night it
was applied all about the building, and
when the President returned Monday,
the employes had their hands full carry¬
ing away dead rats. Rusk says that a
Wisconsin farmer can do up a high-
priced plumber any day iu clearing out
vermin.

ABOUT FLAX.
Prof. Willetts, the Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, of Washington, D. C.,
has under consideration a letter from
Ireland, which he thinks may offer a so¬
lution of the economic problem: “What
shall take the place of wheat on farms
where it can no longer be raised at a
profit?” The writer, who has been fa¬
miliar with flax-growing and linen man¬
ufacturing since 1840, says in Lis inter¬
esting communication: ’There are only
two establishments weaving—one at
Webster, Mass., and doing the ether at Apple-
ton, Wis., the latter but little, and
neither weaving anything finer than
crash. There is nothing in the climate
Or soil conflicting With li. the assertion, that
just as good flax and en may be pro¬
duced in every state in the Atnerican
Union as in any country. Germany noW
spins and weaves the finest linen, and
she has no essentially differing climate
from America. Many things become
successful in America from the facility
with which the people take up and adopt
any improved processes and appliances,
and this may be the salvation of the
linen industry, of the importance of
which there is no question. There is
every reason vhy the American farmers
should produce 1,000,000 acres of flax
for both seed and fiber, over and above
what is now T produced, which would give
12,000,000 to 15,000,006 bushels of seed,
worth as many millions of dollars, and
2,500,0v0 tqns of fl-ix straw, worth $50,-
000,000, and from which 500,000 tons of
flax fiber would be obtained, worth
$100,000,000. Once established, Amer¬
ican invention would* as in all other in¬
dustries, soon woik up an industry to
consume this inateiial. I wish the state
experimental farms to grow a small
amount in each state, and such private
farmers as are disposed to do the same.
The flax should be sown on any good,
mellow soil which has been manured the
past year, or active chemical fertilizers
may be employed to a reasonable extent.
The seed should be sown at the rate of
two and a half bushels on an acre of
land, brushed in, and no further atten¬
tion is needed, excepting that the any large
weeds may be removed until flax has
“turned’’ for half its length, when it
should be pulled, curod and cared for to
keep it bright, in the same manner as is
done with hay. The seed may be takeu
off by rippling or by roller thieshing,
and there will be a market for all flax
straw thus grown at $20 per ton. The
crop should give two and a half tons of
straw to an acre, and twelve to fifteen
bu-heis of seed. The cost of pulling is
in Canada $5 per ucre. Prof. Willetts
has informed the sender that the subject
of his letter would be earnestly consid¬
ered by the Department, which would
lend its aid to auy effort to increase or
diversify th« agricultuial industries of
the countrv.
WHITECAP8 IN GEORGIA.
A band of whitecaps have taken law
into their own hands, and propose to
regulate the morals of East Spalding
county without judicial aid. About two
weeks ago they decided that old man
Wm. Cockrum was too fond of the so-

wife, so a committee from the newly es-
tablished order waited upon him and ad-
ministered to him a severe thrashing, with
the warning to desist in future or take
the consequences. Several negroes have
been dealt with, but the above is the
only case among the whites that has been
