WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Happenings from Day to Day in tie National Capital Appointments In the Various Depart¬ ment!—-Other Notes of Interest. The comptroller of the currency has appointed W. H. S. Burgwyn, of Hend¬ erson, North Carolina, a national bank examiner. The president, on Monday, ap¬ pointed Charles W. Dayton, of New Yor kand city to be postmaster of that city. Charles H. Mansur, of Mis¬ souri, treasury. to be second comptr&jtler * of the The president, Tuesday, made the following appointments: Clinton C. Duncan, of Georgia, to be Indian in¬ spector; Frank Flynt, of Georgia, to be principal clerk of surveys in the general land office. The proclamation for an early ses¬ sion was discussed at the cabinet meet¬ ing Tuesday and it is expected to be given out immediately. A large num¬ ber of the senators still maintain that it will be found to be absolutely nec¬ essary to call it much earlier. President Cleveland returned to Washington Sunday morning from his short fishing trip at Cajie Charles, Va. The brief respite from business has had the effect of refreshing him both mentally and physically. Ho has had good sport and is much pleas¬ ed with his trip. Senator Manderson had an interview with Secretary Carlisle on Friday on the question of tho Omaha public building. There has been some trou¬ ble as to what class of material the bids call for. Senator Manderson wishes the building to be built of granite, and he will insist that this be used. Secretary Carlisle has dispensed with the services of eighteen inspect¬ ors of rags stationed at ports in Eu¬ rope and directed that the work per¬ formed by these inspectors be hereaf¬ ter discharged by United States con¬ suls and United States marine hospi¬ tal officers stationed at the several ports. The total net gold in the treasury at the close of business Friday was $91,439,271. This did not take in the gold engaged for shipment from Now York Saturday. Bocause of the heavy shipments of gold from New York Secretary Carlisle has ordered gold shipped from three other subtreasu- ries to New' York to keep the supply there and this gold is now on the way to New York. The first negro to be recognized by this administration is Henry Clay Smith, of Birmingham. Tuesday he was promised the consulate at Tama- tave, Madagascar, in place of the pres¬ ent republican consul, John L. Walter. Quincy sent for him and told him ho was ready to make the appointment, and gave him his commission. Smith has been an unfaltering democrat for years, and the appointment was a re¬ cognition of his services in the demo¬ cratic ranks. HmuffgllnK .loli ii ('hinumn n. Important disclosures as to a sys¬ tematic underground railroad arrange¬ ment for smuggling Chinese into the United States by way of Canada aro contained in a report just made to the treasury department by Special Agent, C. J. Smith, stationed at Boston, Mass. He report the arrest on the charge of fraudulently introducing Chi¬ nese into the United States of five persons, named Charles L. Smith, Will Hopkins and Mrs. AVill Hopkins, all of West Charleston, Vt.; China Poy, of Lindenville, Vt., and Frank C. Park, of St. Jolinslmry, Vt. The report says: “The two last named are Chinamen, and I beg to state that warrants have also been is¬ sued for the arrest of A. F. Miles, of Stanshead, P. Q., and Frank Boss, of Charleston, Vt.—tho latter the father of Mrs. W. Hopkins—on the same charge, but as yet these two parties have not been apprehended. Of Interest to .Hillers. The department of agriculture is in¬ formed that the exhibit of milled pro¬ ducts to be held at Mainz, Germany, in August next, is a matter that will be of great interest to millers in thid country. It is expected to bring to¬ gether thousands of bakers from all parts of Germany and continental Eu¬ rope. At the same time, the national association of bakers will meet there, of which tliree-fourths of the bakers in Germany are members, and Switzerland, Holland and Austria will be represented, An exeel- lent opportunity will bo afforded American cereals, in view of the re- eent. modification by Germany of the discriminating tariff imposed upon milled as compared with unmilled products, which was an almost effectual barrier to the introduction of Ameri¬ can flour materials, etc., into that country. Tho duty is now the same on cereals, whether milled or unmilled ; and this duty is consideraly less than that levied on Russian cereals. Before tho reduction was made, the tariff was about three time as great as it is at present. The Public Debt Statement. The public debt statement issued J? .. rutay, shows that there was a de¬ crease of $739,425.99 during the month of May. Of this $657,175.50 was in the amount of the bonded indebted¬ ness of the government and $82,250.49 was in the increase of the cash in the treasury. The interest bearing debt increased $300; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, decreased $37,480, and the debt bearing no in¬ terest $619,695.50. The aggregate in¬ terest and non-interest bearing debt May 31st was $961,750,888.63; on April 30th it was $962,407,764.13. The certificates and treasury notes offset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury outstanding at the end of the month was $594,531,017, an increase of $1,485,604. The total ca^h in the treasury was $754,121,982.87, the gold reserve $95,048,640, and the net cash balances $26,516,514,30. In the month there was a decrease of $5,674,749,32 in gold coin and bars, the total at the close being $196,518,609.76. Of silver there was an increase of $5,173,874.48. Of the surplus there was in national bank depositories $11,649,142.54, against $11,270,696.69 at the end of the previous month. The Rti««inn Extradition Treaty. The Russian extradition treaty, which has been the subject of corre- spondence between the two contract¬ ing parties for more than six years, and has been amended again ami again and was threatened with de¬ feat in its final stages, has at last been formally proclaimed and will henceforth be the law of the land un¬ til it is superceded by another treaty. The ratifications were exchanged in St. Petersburg nearly two months ago, but because it was necessary to ob¬ serve extraordinary precautions to se¬ cure the Bafe transmission of the doc¬ ument to the United States the treaty M as not received at the department until a late day last week. The treaty M-as in the French language and it Mas necessary to translate the docu¬ ment into English and make very care¬ ful comparisons between the transla¬ tion and the original. This M'ork M as completed Monday and the president saM- it for the first time Tuesday M hen Secretary Gresham carried it to the cabinet meeting. All that remained to be done was to make the official proclamation and that mbs done Tues¬ day afternoon. The proclamation simply recited the provisions of the treaty and the announcement that it would go into effect tM'enty days from date—that is to say on June 24th. Tlie President's Views. 'President Cleveland in reply to a direct question by a representative of the Associated Press Monday evening said that he intended to call an extra session of congress not earlier than the 1st or later than the 15th of Sep¬ tember. unless some unexpected con¬ tingencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. He further said: “While there has been no mystery nor secrecy in regard to my intention in this mat¬ ter,! think it not amiss that our peojde should be informed authoritatively that the time is at hand Mhen their repre¬ sentatives in congress will be called upon to deal with a financial condition M-hicli is the only menace to the coun¬ try’s welfare and prosperity. It is well for the people to take up the sub¬ ject for themselves aud arrive at their own conclusions as to the merits of a financial policy M’hich obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve. One does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the gov¬ ernment’s stock is eagerly seized by other nations for the purpose of strengthening their credit at our ex¬ pense. It does not need the art of statesmanship to detect the danger that awaits upon the continuance of this action. Already the timidity of capital is painfully apparent, and none of us fail to see that fear and ap¬ prehension in monetary circles Mill ultimately bring suffering to every humble homo in our land. I think that between now and the meeting of congress much depends upon the ac¬ tion of those engaged in financial operations and business en- terprises. Our national re¬ sources and national credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost faith and confidence. If, instead of being frightened, they are conservative and contribute their sharo of help and steadiness, they will perform a patriotic duty, and at the same time protect their own interests. The things just now needed are cool¬ ness and calmness in financial circles and sturdy reflection among our peo¬ ple.” GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. The Industrial Development During the Past Week. The review of the industrial situation in the south for the past week shows the organization of a brick and tile manufacturing company with $100,000 capital, at Nen' Orleans, La., by the Southern Brick and Tile company; of a cotton mill company with $100,000 capital, at ciates; Laurens, 8.

Forty-time new industries were established or incorporated during the week, together wnh nine enlargements of manufactories, and four¬ teen industries important new buildings. Among tho new not above referred to are ebctric lighting plan's at Opelousas, La., and Rock- port, Tex.; flour and grist mills at Falmouth aud Crider, Ky., Hartshorn, Dealville and Mt. Holly, N.

The Carlsruhe Zeitung in its issue of Monday says that the German emperor replied to a telegram from the Grand Duke Frederick and the congress of military unions of Baden, pledging their support to him as the military chief of the empire, in the folloM'ing language: Tour resolution of self-sacrifice and loyal co¬ operation strengthens the confident hop® that where the safety of the empire is at stake the German people will, regardless of political dif¬ ferences, onite in a firm resolve to mainttin what was won in a memorable time with tin active co-operation of your royal highness. The Homestead Trials E nded. All of the charges of murder, etc., against H. C. Frick and others of the Carnegie Steel company officials, as well as the Pinkerton detectives, were dropped in court at Pittsburg, Pa., Saturday morning. In turn all the strikers who had been arrested and as yet untried, have been released on their own recognizance. This virtual¬ ly ends all of the Homestead cases in connection with the big strike of last year. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. Rotes of Her Progress and Prosperity Briefly Epitomized And Important Happenings from Day to Day Tersely Told. Karaner & Ingram, of Florence, the largest hardware firm in northwest Alabama, were attached Monday for $1,700 for rent. This will cause other creditors to press their claims. Dur¬ ing the boom the firm did an immense business, but the dull season and stop¬ ping of bnildihg effected them serious¬ ly. The firm had a commercial rating of $10,000 to $15,000 and owed about $3,500. The greatest excitement exists in Brethett county, Ky., over the blow¬ ing up of the Hustler office by unknown parties Sunday night about 11 o’clock. The Hustler is a weekly paper edited by Rev. J. J. Dickey. Dynamite was placed under the door of the building and wrecked the entire structure. Tho paper was the sole'cause of the local option law, recently passed in that county. A Chattanooga dispatch says: The suit of the Catholic Knights of America against the Fidelity and Casualty Com¬ pany, of New York, for $50,000, the amount of defaulting Treasurer O’Brien’s bond, was concluded Tues¬ day and resulted in a verdict for $15,- 790 for the knights. This was the amount which was stolen, between the last examination by the knights of O’Brien’s books and the discovery of his shortage. According to a Washington special of Monday dividends have been de¬ clared in favor of the creditors of in¬ solvent national banks as follows; First National bank, Palatka, Fla., second dividend, 10 per cent., making in all 45 per cent, on the claims proved amounting to $274,303. First Nation¬ al bank, Wilmington, N. C., third dividend, 10 per cent., making in all 40 per cent, on claims proved amount¬ ing to $530,483. A New Orleans dispatch says: Gen¬ eral Murphy J. Foster arrived in the city Friday for the purpose of negoti¬ ating with banks for a loan of $50,000 to aid the sufferers from the recent overflow in the Lake Providence dis¬ trict. There are over 1,000 persons, nearly all negroes, homeless, and star¬ vation is imminent. The state at present has no funds wherewith to meet the emergency; therefore, the governor is obliged to seek assistance from the banks. Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her daugh¬ ter, Miss Winnie, will, it is now pret¬ ty well settled, make their home in llichmond, after a few months. It has been an open secret ever since sho selected the city as the final resting place of her husband that it was her wish to again become a resident of Virginia’s capital, where, during her residence of nearly four years, while the war was in progress, she formed many strong attachments and was the recipient of universal kindness. A Raleigh, N. C., special of Monday says: The commissioner of agricul¬ ture states that the June crop reports now coming in show that the increased acreage in cotton will not be so great as was believed a month ago. The talk about great damage to the fruit crop by frost is found to have been without foundation. The trees are loaded with fruit, particularly peaches. Wheat is ripening rapidly and is an exceedingly large and fine crop. A great improvement in crops has oc¬ curred in the past few days. A rate meeting of the Southern Rail¬ way and Steamship Association was held in Atlanta, Ga., Saturday. The chief subject settled at the meeting M as the adjustment of the lumber rates from the south to the north and west. So sharp has been the competition with roads west of the Missisippi that lumber rates had been forced down until the revenue amounted to only about three mills a mile. A general lining up was done. The association adjourned to meet in New York June 14th to take up the subject of the re- neMal of the contract for the ensuing year. Advices of Tuesday from Columbus, Miss., are to the effect that the enor¬ mous rainfall of the past three M-eeks has injured the corn and cotton crops fully 30 per cent. High winds have accompanied the rain and the ground is beaten doM-n in places and the crops completely ruined. Tomb and Tuxa- pilla rivers are very high and have submerged crops to the lowlands. From the present outlook it is safe to predict as high floods as were had last year. No work has been done for two weeks, and the crops are more backward than they have been in years. A Montgomery, Ala., special says: In the matter of the intervention of the state of Alabama asking the re¬ ceiver of the Central railroad of Geor¬ gia be directed to pay certain taxes due to the state of Alabama, Judge Bruce, of the United States court, on Monday, granted the order and di¬ rected the said receiver to pay the proper tax collectors Mithin twenty days from date all state, county and municipal taxes, which have been law¬ fully levied and assessed against said property, of which he is receiver M'ithin this state. The total amount of this indebtedness due is nearly $50,000. Judge Brown decided a novel and interesting ease at Baleigh, N. C., Friday. Kowan Roger, the last re¬ publican sheriff of Wake county, de¬ faulted for some $12,000 in his county taxes. This his bondsmen for these taxes paid. These bondsmen recently brought suit against Rogers and the bondsmen for his state taxes, making the claim that Rogers had, in making a full settlement of his state taxes, used part of the money received from county taxes. They claimed that for such part of the funds Rogers and his state tax bondsmen were liable. Judge Brown decides adversely to the plain¬ tiffs, who appealed to the supreme court. There was never such a suit before. Money for all taxes is collect¬ ed promiscuously, and the settlement of state taxes is always made first. It is proposed to build a big dam at Lake Albert Nyanza for the purpose of giving Egypt low a plentiful supply of water plan’is during entirely the Nile. Experts say the feasible, and the beet yet suggested. BUSINESS RATHER DULL. Dun & Co f s Report of Trade for the Past Week. R. G. Dun A. Co.’s review of trade for the past week says: More dis¬ heartening conditions have prevailed during the past week and those who saw the beginning of a permanent re¬ covery in the better tone a week ago are disappointed. The money mar¬ kets have been closer, especially in the interior, and manufacturing and trade are more affected than before. Some important failures have occurred, in¬ cluding one bank at Milwaukee. Gold has gone out again in large amounts, the exports for the week be¬ ing about $5,000,000 and the treasury gold reserve has been drawn down to about $90,000,000. In nearly all the departments of trade the uncertainty about the future has a depressing influence, which is now clearly perceived in the decrease of new business, and while most of tho manufacturing works are yet employed on- full orders, as these run out the number of works that are closed has increased. Cotton and corn are moving liberal¬ ly, but loans are curtailed to the mini¬ mum and there is no market for local securities, save at the buyers’ prices. At Little Rock trade is dull, with col¬ lections slow and at Knoxville not im¬ proved. Atlanta reports fair trade, close money and slow collections. Augusta reports a slight improvement in trade, with improved farm pros¬ pects, but tight money and slow col¬ lections. Columbus, Gn., reports col¬ lections less favorable and money very tight, and at Macon trade is quiet, col¬ lections slow and money close. Mobile finds trade reasonably good with larger shipments of vegetables and money easy. At New Orleans business is only fair, but building materials are very active and crop prospects, though backward, are promising. Jackson¬ ville notes a little falling off and at Charleston trade in dry goods and shoes is dull and in groceries fair, but jobbers nro cautious in selling. The uncertainty about freights, la¬ bor, crops and finances make the iron trade gloomy, The prospect of trouble with the amalgated associa¬ tion sustains the present demand for finished products, and higher freight rates raise the price of pig, not to the advantage of the seller. The structu¬ ral mills are yet well employed, but at prices which return scanty profits. The exjjort of products still fall be¬ low last year’s in value and there is much withdrawal of money loaned in this country on foreign account. The fact that $5,000,000 of such loans ma¬ ture within the next week leads to tho expectation of further exports of gold. Money on call at New York has some¬ what advanced, but there is a strong complaint of the difficulty in getting commercial loans. The failures during the past week have been 238 in the United. States against 175 last year, and 21 in Cana¬ da, against 32 last year. WIND AND FLAME. A Dual Visitation of (lie Elements Upon Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha, Nebraska, received a dual visitation from the elements Saturday evening. All day rain had fallen in- termittingly, southeast. the storm blowing from the Shortly before dark the wind went to the north, and in a few r moments one of tho most severe 6torms ever experienced broke upon the city. Tho rain was accompanied by a heavy elecrical display and high ■winds, and in the midst of the flood came a fire that entailed a loss of near¬ ly a quarter of a million dollars, with the additional horror of four deaths and many persons injured. The dead knowm are George Coulter, B. J. Mor¬ ris, Mr. Cox and Mr. Morrissey, all firemen. When the storm was at its height flames burst from the fifth floor of the building occupied by the Shiv- erick Furniture company, on Farnum street. In response to a general alarm all the companies of the city fire de¬ partment responded, but the fire was beyond control. The loss will be fully $200,000. W T est of the Shiverick building was a structure occupied by Ed Maurer’s saloon and restaurant. On top of this building six firemen had gathered that they might better fight the flames. While they were there the west wall of the Shiverick block fell outward. The firemen heard the cry of horror from the crowd and leaped from the building only to be buried by bricks on the sidewalk. The Shiv¬ erick buiding is a complete wreck. The loss on the building and stock will reach $200,000, fully insured. Maurer loses on building and stock $25,000. He is also insured. The damage from the storm is distributed all over tho city. ______ A BANK ROBBED. Six Desperadoes Force the Cashier to Fork Over $10,000. A special from Bentonville, Ark., says: This town was thrown into the wildest excitement about 3 o’clock Monday afternoon by a band of six robbers rushing in and with drawn Winchesters robbing the Peoples’ bank of all the gold and currency, amounting to about $10,000. At the point of their guns they compelled the cashier to hand out all the cash in the vault and two of their num¬ ber stood guard at the door and fired into the streets at every man that showed his head. The citizens,however, as soon as possible got what arms they could and commenced a fusilade on the robbers,finally wounding two of them. Three citizens were wounded in the fight. The robbers quickly mounted their horses, which were in waiting at a con¬ venient point, and made their escape. As soon as possible the sheriff and posse started in pursuit of the robbers. About twelve miles west of Benton¬ ville is a postoffiee and a couple of stores, forming the village of Decatur. Here the robbers continued their dep¬ redations by robbing the stores. While thus engaged the sheriff and posse came up. A running fight ensued,and three of the citizens’ horses were shot, but no one was injured, The sheriff and most of his men then gave up the pursuit and returned to Benton¬ ville. The Caravals on the Move. A New York special says: The three caravels, towed by a tug, passed around the battery into the East river at 12 :2<J Tuesday on the way to Chicago. > / -1 /Sr I <"«r i*. ii Mrs. Theresa Hart son Albion, Pa.

Remove the bread from the pans as soon as baked, and place the loaves where the air can circulate freely around them, thus allowing the gas which has formed, but is no longer needed, to escape. An old wire win¬ dow screen, too small for modern win¬ dows, with cleats on the ends to keep them two or three inches from the table, will answer as well as a cooler. Many use a sieve, but that is too small,and leaves the markof the larger cross wires on the loaf. Never leave the loaves on the table to sweat and absorb the odor of the wood, and do not cover them if yon want the crust crisp. To give the bread that soft, tender, wafer-like consistency, wrap it in sev¬ eral thicknesses of bread cloth. When cold remove the cloth, ns that absorbs the moisture and gives tho bread an unpleasant taste and odor. Place the loaves in a stone jar or tin box wmll covered and carefully cleansed from crumbs and stale bread. Scald and wij>o dry every two or three days. A yard and a half square of coarse table linen will answer for a bread cloth. Keep a good supply of these, in order that they may always be sweet and clean, and never use them for other purposes. — Exchange. The Genuine Article.

A Matter of Health i T costs more to make Royal Baking Powder than any other, because its ingredients are more highly refined and expensive. But the Royal is correspondingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater money value to the consumer. The difference in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leavening strength, nor make good the inferior work of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impurities which such powders leave in the food. Where the finest food is required, the Royal Baking Powder only can be used. Where the question of health is considered, no baking powder but Royal can be used with safety. All others are shown by official analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum. “ MaTHPDCI I v IV-F 1 Ii L r\0 Friend’* MIKES CHILD BIRTH EASY, Colvin, La., Dec. 2, 1886.—My wife used [OTHER'S FRIEND before her third confinement, and says sho would not bo without it for hundreds of dollars.

There would be little danger of eating too much if the food w r ere always plain and simple ; in that case the natural appetite w'ould be a safe and sufficient guide.
