formerly treasurer of the Catholic
Knights of America, and who default¬
ed in the sum of $76,000, called on mu¬
nicipal authorities here with a. view to
settlement. He submitted a proposition
to pay $2,500 cash and $3,000 in annual
installments until the discrepancy, which
he claims is $60,000, is made good. After
a lengthy consideration of tbe proposi¬
tion the officers rejected it, and, pending
a mere the acceptable against one, resolved to prose¬
cute case the ex-treasurer.

quently captured and indicted.

THE SENATE.
The senate held a short session
Wednesday, lasting not longer than
thirty dispo9tug minutes. Meeting at noon and
of some morniDg business, an
executive session was ordered, and, while
in executive session, a recess Was taken
till half past 3 o’clock so as to give time
to the republican caucus to complete it 3
party assignments to committee places.
When the senate reassembled, Mr. Gor¬
man, ffered Bcting for the democratic majority,
' a resolution declaring the consti¬
tution of the standing and select com
mittees, and that resolution was agreed
to, the senate then adjourned till Th urs-
day. A communication was presented
from the interior department in answer
to a rc8olutit n in last session
inquiring as to whether ptrmis-
sion for Sunday c >ncerts in the
pension office had been given. The com¬
munication states that such permission
had been applied for and bad been ex
presely refused, and that the building
had not been used on Sundays for such
purposes. The credentials of Mr. Beck¬
with, appoin’ed as senator from the state
of Wyoming were presented by Mr.
Vance and were laid on the table to be
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections when appointed. The vice
president laid before the senate the reso¬
lution of the Massachusetts legislature,
favoring the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands. After they were read, the sug¬
gestion was made by Mr. Sherman that
they should have been presented in ex¬
ecutive session. They were laid on the
table and then the senate proceeded to
take up executive business, a list of nom¬
inations having been previously received
from the president of the United States.
The only business transacted by the
various senate Thursday was the presentation of
memorials from the legislature of
North Dakota, and a refrrence of the res-
olution for tbe appointment of a clerk to
the committee on national banks (at $1,-
440 per annum). Then Mr. Gorman
moved an adjournment, and the senate,
at 12:12, adjourned until Monday at
noon.
The numerous errors that have come to
light in the enrollment of the great ap¬
ed propriation bills at the last session form¬
the subject of discussion for nearly
an hour at the time that the senate was
in set-s’.on Monday. More than ninety
such errors were stated by Mr. Hale to
have been discovered by him in the na¬
val appropriation bill alone. Various
resolutions as to clerks of committees,
changes acted of rules, etc., were off-red. but
not on, and the senate adjourned
till Wednesday. The credentials of Sen¬
ator Allen, appointed by the governor of
the state of Washington, were read
and laid on the table. Mr. Mc¬
Pherson offered a resolution, which was
referred to the committee on education
and labor, directing the commissioner to
make a report at the opening of the fifty-
third congress, comprehending facts in
relation to the total cost of producing
various iron and steel products, such as
bar iron, steel rails, etc., and of leading
articles of textile industry, and of other
articles, the cost of which may be ap¬
proximately obtained. Mr. Allison of¬
fered a resolution, which was referred to
the committee on rules, permitting pho¬
tographic copies to be taken of certain
ancient executive communications in the

his private secretary. Mr. Gaines is
nbout fifty years of age, and was former¬

For three he was busy receiving office-

One of the last ocffiial acts of General

A democratic congressman's life is any¬
thing but a happy one right now.
Postmaster General Bissell is credited
with the announcement that no local
business men need apply for postoffices
under his administration. He objects l
commissioning local business men a-
postmasters, for reason that the actual
duties are performed by irresponsible, and
often incompetent clerks and substitute .
A postmaster under Mr. Bissell mus

LOCATED IN TWO SPATES.
Bristol a Bone of Contention Between
Yirginia and Tennessee.
A Washington dispatch says: The
state of Virginia and the state of Tennes¬
see are parties to a suit which occupied
practically all the time of the United
States supreme court Wednesday. Vir¬
ginia is seeking to secure a large strip of
land now within the boundary of Ten¬
nessee, but claimed by the old dominion
to be part of its territory. The tract in
question is a wedged-shaped strip of land
stretching across the northern border of
Tennessee, adjoining Virginia on the
south. It is 113 miles in length, two
miles in width at its eastern and fight
miles in width at its western extremity. ’
The country is mostly sparsely settled,
but it is in the line of material develop¬
ment of. southwestern Virginia and east¬
ern Tennessee. One of the towns in
dispute is Bristol, Tenn., which has
grown greatly in the last decade and
enjoys two municipal governments, ac¬
cording to the present boundary line be¬
tween Tennessee and Virginia, Main
street separating the Tennessee section
of the town from the Virginia section.
If Virginia should win the 6uii the
whole town would -be »~^t of its terri¬
tory.
JULES FERRY DEAD.
> i
A Noted French Statesman Dies of
Heart Disease.
Jules Francois Camille Ferry, the cele-
brated French statesman, died in Paris
Friday of heart trouble. The affection
of tho heart, from which he suffered;
was due to the effect of a bullet striking
a rib near the base of the heart at the
time he was attacked by Aubertin, in
1887. He was seized with spasms early
in the morning, and despite every effort
made by the physicians, why were hastily
summoned, the convulsions continued to
grow in violence until, at 6 o’clock in
the evening, he expired in a terribly se¬
vere spasm.

is unabated and business is feWarfeably
large with some signs of improvement.
Exports Cattle of breadstuffs, cotton, provis¬
ion?, ,u£ 2,&1, and oil in Febtuary were but
|40 against $66,804,712 last
year, which, with We increase of nearly
$8,000,000 in imports at j^Telt ¥orfc, in¬
dicates a probable excess in that month
of about $15,000,000, against an excesss
of e*p< fts in the same months last year
of hate $21,000,000. steal!, Exports New York in March also
been at $4,540,-
000 less thafl a Weeks than lust
year. been Speculation in product has
naturally depressed, cotton being
at one time 1-4 and now 8-16 lower than
a weak ago, with sales of over 2,200,000.
Wheat is 2 1-2 cents lower,- with sales of
26,000,000 bushels, the government esti¬
mate of 185,000,000 bushel* in the farm¬
er^ hands, besides 79,000,000 bushels in
visible supply, making it clear that a
great sdrplUs would hate to be carried
over next jilly. Heceipts at the west
continue heavy, 1,700,000 bushels in four
days this week, against less]than 400,000
exported.
Corn is nearly a cent lower and pork
products have declined a little. Yet the
euorffioiis Strength uphold of speculative combi¬
nations to prices still prevents
free movement of products abroad.
Chicigo reports great demand for cur¬
rency in farming regions, active trade
in merchandise, with satisfactory orders,
but at St. Louis trade Is very heavy, es¬
pecially with the southwest, while lead
is very strong, but flour mills
are running half time. Cattle re¬
ceipts at Kansas City are lib¬
eral, the tone at Omaha is sanguine and
collections are improved at St. Joseph.
No improvement is seen at St. Paul, but
trade at Denver and Little Rock is fair;
at Atlanta and Montgomery fair. At
Columbus collections are slow and money
very tight, but at Mobile business is
good. At New Orleans sugar is dull and
rice not improved, with money firm but
in ample supply. The iron industry
shows improvement. Prices are steady,
though extremely low, with less pressure
to realize, and little more demand is seen
for bar and plate iron and steel, while
structural works are well employed,
though not at better prices. Copper is
steady, lead firm, at $3.90, but tin is a
quarter lower. The shoe business is large.
Cattle receipts at She west are smaller
and bad weather or strikes, or fear of
strike?, effect all railway movements to
some extent.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during last seven
days number 220, as compared with 225
last week. For the corresponding week
last year the figures were 240.
WHAT BRADSTRBBT BATS.
Bradstreet’s report says: The general
trend of prices is downward. Cotton
has been down 3-8 on the prolongation
of the English strike and the liquidation
of holders who felt the squeeze in money,
but later in the week it recovered 1-4
cents due to purchases on speculative ac¬
count. Wheat shows a small gain and
corn is no worse off. Foreign trade in
the United States for the seventh month
ended Jan. 31st was 5 per cent less iu
value than in a like portion of 1891-’92,
owing to a decrease in the value of ex¬
ports while importations, amounting to nearly 20 per cent,
both free and dutia¬
ble, increased only 15 per cent. The fal¬
ling off in values of domestic exports is
more than accounted for by the decreases
in values of breadstuffs, cotton and other
agricultural produce sent abroad.
In interviews with Bradstreets leading
financiers admit that the commercial dis¬
counts that are still greatly restricted, tight but

ity of commercial interests to resist the

The exceptions are Chicago
St. Louie, where leading staple lines are
in excellent condition and the volume
of transactions during February is
larger than the total for that month in
1892.
The surprising strength of the price of
wheat in the face of the most bearish
statistical position ever reported at a like
season of the year is a tribute to the
ability of the bull clique at Chicago,
aided by the enormous short interest
there. The stocks of wheat available
here and abroad leave no doubt that the
world’s reserves on July 1st next will be
heavy. The United States is evidently
able to export 6,000,000 bushels of wheat
each week, flour included, for the re¬
mainder of the crop year, if required, hardly
whereas thb weekly exports are
more than 3,060. This week the total
sent abroad, from both coasts, is 2,988,-
000 bushels, compared and with with 2,984,000 3,818,000
bushels last week
bushels in the same week a year ago and
2,733,000 bushels two years ago. The
general trade is dull in the province of
Quebec. The wholesale trade through¬
out the province of Ontario is fairly sat¬
isfactory and prices generally firm except
for graiD, which is dull. The spring this
trade in Nova Scotia will be later
year than last, as the interior is still cov¬
ered with ice and snow.
