teriously, leaving debts to the amount
of $20,000. He was also commissioner

The opinion of tho court of appeals
in deciding that tho world’s Columbian
exposition at Chicago shall be opened
on Buinlay was received at Washing¬
ton by a press bulletin early Saturday
afternoon. Attorney General Olney
at a late hour had received no official
announcement of tlio fact. Ho said
that his department had a clear record
in the case and had exhausted every
legal means to enforce the mandate of
congress in the matter.
It seems to be throughly understood
in Washington that Colonel Blount has
resigned tlio Hawaiian mission. Tho
state department has never yet ac¬
knowledged it nor yet positively de¬
nied it. His resignation is unexplain¬
able, unless he returns with the inten¬
tion of entering local policies again,
l’roctor Knott is fixed upon by the
political prognosticators of the capital
as the man who will be intrusted to
finish the work begun by Blount.
Ono of the best places in the treas¬
ury department is that of chief of the

Ylr. Cleveland has at last decided to
accept the ruling of Postmaster Gen¬
eral Bissell that a man’s term of office
begins from the date of his commis¬
sion, f and not from his induction in
public service and from the time he
begins to draw his salary. A test case
came up before him Fridav. Robert
Emails, a negro, and present collector
of the port of Beaufort, S. €., has
served four rears iu office, his term
from the date he entered the service
having expired last Tuesday. Score-
tary Carlisle wrote Representative
Brawler to call and name his succes¬
sor. lisle Brawley had complied, when Mr. Car¬

Smalls would hold over six months

Cleveland had so decided the case.
in tioid shipments.
There was a slight falling off in the
shipments of currency Friday. It was
estimated that fho amount would fall
a good deal short of $1,000,000.
demand for currency has had the
feet of increasing the amount of
gold in the treasury and the amount
such gold at the day’s close
$92,000,000, which is a gain of
than $2,000,000 over last week.
this sum $1,500,000 came from
National City bank, which has
one of the largest shippers of cur¬
rency to the west. The
City bank has kept all its
in gold and was thus enabled to com-
ply readily with the demands of
country correspondents, a fact upon
which it prides itself. But for the fact
tliat the treasury has hart to pay
large sums for pensions, it would have
shown a large gain in legal tenders, a
large amount of which was received
from the banks for currency. Thus
far the subtreasury has been enabled
to meet pretty nearly all the demands
for currency, but there is a scarcity of
“ones,” “twos” and “fives,” and it is
understood on gold or legal tenders
for these. For notes of such denoim-
nations it accepts treasury certificates
as well as legal tenders.

VERDICT OF THE JURY.
Aliicswortli, Covert, Sass and Dent Re¬
sponsible for the Disaster.
The taking of testimony in the Ford
theater case by the coroner’s jury was
concluded Monday afternoon. After
being out two hours the jury returned
a verdict setting forth that Frederick
K. Loftus came to his death by the
disaster at Ford’s theater building on
June 9, 1893. They recite the fact
that George YV. Dent was the contrac¬
tor under the government for the
work in progress which caused the
disaster and all the circumstances con¬
nected with the accident, and find that
Frederick 0. Ainesworth, in charge of
the building; William G. Covert, the
superintendent; Francis Sass, the en¬
gineer, and George W. Dent, the con¬
tractor, are responsible for tho killing
of Loftus.
The jury further found that tho
failure of the government of the
United States to provide for skilled
superintendence of the work of repair
and alterations of its buildings in
charge of the war department is most
unbusinesslike and reprehensible, and
are of the opinion that if such superin¬
tendence had been provided in tho
case of the work on tho Ford theater
building the awful tragedy might
have been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to
issue warrants for the commitment of
Colonel Ainesworth, Dent, Covert and
Sass until Tuesday morning, in order
to give them an opportunity of ob-
taining bail. Colonel Ainesworth has
already secured a bondsman.
SUSTAINS THE PRESIDENT.
Judge Bruce Decides the Question of
Two Appointments in Alabama.
Monday, in the United States court,
at Birmingham, before Judge Bruce,
arguments were made in the eases of
Lewis E. Parsons vs. Emmett O’Niel,
and A. N. Nininger vs. J. C. Mus-
grove. Parsons and Nininger are the
recently removed district attorney
and United States marshal, respective¬
ly, and O’Niel and Musgrove, the re¬
cent appointees of President Cleveland
for the northern district of Alabama.
The matter was argued in the form of
a conference to ascertain whom the
court would recognize as the officials
of his court in opening this, an ad¬
journed term. In the course of his
decision Judge Bruce said: This
court will presume that the pres¬
ident and the attorney general
and their advisers have acted within
their rights. It is elear in my mind
that these papers are regular and must
be recognized. “I shall recognize
them and proceed to open court and
try the cases set down for this term.
A motion was made that an order is¬
sue for ex-Pistriet Attorney Parsons
and ex-United States Marshal Ninin-
ger to turn over the books and papers
in their possession belonging to the
government. Judge Bruce signified
bis willingness to issue such an order.
Jt is saui that Parsons ami Nimn g er
will institute proceedings in the court
of claims for the salary from date un¬
^ next February,

valued at $150,000 and was owned by
John Quincy Adams, of Wharton, Ill.
It was burned two years ago aud had
only been recently rebuilt.
Dispatches of Monday from St.
Paul, Minn., state that there were
many mining camps employing a large
number of men, in Nunberhood, and
they were undoubtedly burned by
Sunday’s forest fire. Among them
were the Mountain Iron, tho New
England, the Rouhleau, the One Jack
and Poca mines. All the camps had
had large storehouses. It is feared
that some of the men may have per¬
ished in the fierce flames.
Advices of Thursday from St. Pe¬

amounted to between 2,500,000 and

Briggs to Continue His Work.
A New York special says: At a
meeting of the board of directors of
the Union seminary, Thursday, it was
decided that C. A. Briggs, D. D., will
continue his work in the department
of Biblical theology as hitherto. The
directors also decided that special pro¬
visions should lie made so that none of
the students of Union seminary will
suffer from the restrictions which have
been put upon the board of education.
The Cholera Record.
A London cablegram of Thursday
says: The latest advices from Mecca,
where the cholera is raging, show that
there have been 350 deaths from the
disease during the last five days.
A TIMELY STEP
Taken by New York Banks to Guard
Against a Panic.
A New York special of Thursday
says: The business men of the
are much elated over the action of the
managers of the banks belonging to
the clearing house. The very
aspect that the financial and commer¬
cial situation has assumed, has led
the necessity of some combined action
on the part of New York banks.
Similar action has been taken be¬
fore in times of panic. It
cally takes the form of an issue of clear¬
ing house certificates to those Itanks
which, while perfectly solvent, have
their funds tied up in time loans and
are pressed for ready cash. No cer¬
tificates are issued except to those
banks known to be in good condition,
and only then upon securities whose
value has been carefully
upon by tho clearing
committee. These certificates pass
as current funds between
banks, and can thus be used in the
settlement of balances, relieving the
banks that may have a large debit bal¬
ance in the clearing huose from set¬
tling in cash. As the bank’s paper is
paid off and the general situation im¬
proves the banks are required to take
up their certificates as quickly as pos¬
sible.
MUiXilOXS SHirPED WEST.
The present action of the New York
banks is only to f^repare for a possible
emergency. The crisis prevailing in
the west, which has brought about so
many bank and business failures,
has also produced a generally
unsettled feeling in that section.
In consequence, there has been a
general and heavy withdrawal of do-
posits by the Avestern banks from their
New York correspondents. It is esti¬
mated that no less than $16,000,000
in currency has been shipped out,
chiefly to Chicago and other western
cities since June 5th. The strain has
fallen heavily upon the New York
banks, and following the heavy gold
exports, has made money very scarce
and contracted credit. By the issue
of clearing house certificates, which
practically make the associated banks
act as a unit, a great deal of relief is
given to the situation, and a further
extension of credit is made possible.
THE SENTENCES QUASHED
And the Panama Canal Swindlers are
Given their Freedom.
Advices from Paris state that con¬
siderable excitement has been caused
by the decision of the court of cessa¬
tion on tho appeal of Charles do Les-
seps and the other defendants convict¬
ed of fraud in connection with the
Panama Canal Company. The court
handed down its decision Thursday
quashing the sentences on the ground
that the statute of limitation covered
the offences charged and that the in¬
dictments on which the prisoners were
charged were irregular.
In consequence of this decision M.
Eiffel was at once liberated. M.
Charles de Lesseps, who is in the St.
Louis hospital suffering with acute at¬
tacks of dyspepsia, was informed that
he was at liberty. He was too ill to
leave the hospital. There were five
defendants convicted on the trial,
which ended on February 9th last.
There were Ferdinand de Lesseps, his
son Charles, Marius Fontaine, Henri
Cottu and Gustavus Eiffel. Ferdinand
de Lesseps was sentenced to five years’
imprisonment and to pay a fine.
M. Fontain was also notified of the
reversal of his sentence and was at
once given his liberty. In addition to
tho sentence of five years’ imprison-
meht imposed upon M. Charles de
Lesseps, he was sentenced at a later
trial to serve a year for bribing certain
members of the chamber to vote for
the Panama lottery bond bill.
And thus ends one of the greatest
criminal cases France has ever known,
in which the names of men prominent
in political and social life were badly
smirched and which caused Baron de
Reinach to commit suicide and two or
three others to flee the country.
THE ARMY BILL DOOMED.
Latest Returns of Germany’s Elections
Indicate a Socialist Vie ory.
Cable dispatches from Berlin state
that returns from 348 of the districts
in which elections for members of the
reichstag were held on Thursday, re¬
ceived up to 5 o’clock Saturday even¬
ing, show the election of forty-nine
centrists, thirty-seven conservatives,
twenty-four social democrats, seventeen
national liberals, nine Centrists in fa¬
vor of the bill, three Richterists, four
volkesparte, thirteen poles, six Alsa¬
tians, three anti-Semites and three
wild, with re-ballots necessary.
An analysis of the re-ballots shows
that the social democrats and national
liberals will figure chiefly in them,
while Richterists and centrists are a
long way behind. The defeat of the
Richterists appears to be irretrievable.
Their organ admits the crushing
character of the disaster, but The
Berlin Freissinige Zeitung finds com¬
fort in predicting that the ultimate
poll of the party combined with the
volkesparte, centrists and socialists
will form an overwhelming plebiscite
against the army bill.
MRS. DAVIS AND MRS. GRANT
Rill Enjoy Each Other 5 * Society at
Historic West Point.
A news special of Saturday from
New York states that Mrs. Ulysses
Grant and Mrs. Jefferson Davis are to
meet. The wives of the two great
leaders will exchange their first greet¬
ing at Cranstons-on-tlie-Hudson, which
is in sight of the West Point military
academy. This location lias many as¬
sociations dear to the hearts of both,
as both their husbands were graduates
of this academy. Mrs. Grant is now
a guest at Cranstons, and YIrs. Davis
will stop at the same place. The two
ladies will thus meet every day. YIrs.
Grant, in speaking of YIrs. Da¬
vis’s intended visit, said she hoped
she would not disappoint her as she
did last year. She is very anxious to
become acquainted with her. YIrs.
Davis expressed a wish to meet YIrs.
Grant on ground which is of such his¬
toric interest to both. She feels
gTeatly pleased with the kind expres¬
sions of interest YIrs. Grant has mani¬
fested in the coming visit.

some eases very uneven, considered by
States, but in the aggregate the divis¬
ion is a surprisingly close one. Thus,
in tho entire country there are 32,000,-

and territories except in the District
of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode

tree. It is a plant that grows from 15
to 20 feet high, and in appearance does
not differ greatly from other trees, but
the inner bark is a perfect silky liber,
long, smooth and strong. The natives
separated it by some method best known
to . ti» , T „,—
resembling that of beating flax. When
onco it is separated and spun into
threads, it can be woven into a fabric
so closely resembling silk that it is
difficult for any one not familiar with
it to distinguish between the two. This
species of silk goods is in high favor
ou the isthmus, and a Colombian belle
is never happier than when slio is
arrayed in a gayly iV colored dress made
from the trees her father’s yard.—

The Sultan’s Gift.
The Sultan of Turkey has sent a
magnificent present to President Cleve-
land as an evidence of tho good will
that exists between their respective
countries. It is a superb and artistic¬
ally wrought gold medal set with cost¬
ly diamonds. The design is commem¬
orative of the four hundredth anniver¬
sary of the discovery of America, and
it has pictured on it tho Columbian
caravels. The medal is said to have
cost over $20,000. The President will
not accept it as a personal gift, but
has decided that he will have it placed
in the museum of the State depart-
ment.
