Atlanta postoffirn has lieen long and bit-

an amendment to the not yet.
Senator Gordon, with a strong fblloW'

applicant, while Senator Colquitt, witl
an equally ardent support, has advo
cated the appointment of another
Another applicant, who, while hi*

tor, is making a gallant fight, and is as
anxions for the place as either of til
others.
Nnmerons proposition* h ave lieen mad
looking to a compromise, bnt none of
them were accepted.
The Evening Journal has a story tha:
gives the matter a new feature.
It says:
“Senator John B. Gordon has given
his earnest support to Major J. M. Cooper
from the beginning, and Senator Colquitt
has claimed that he is for I)r. Amos Fox
The appointment of a Democratic post
master for Atlanta has hung fire for sov-
erul mouths, and it is presumed that
this is duo to the i'ect that the president
is uualile to decide which cundiibite has
the stiongcet claim to the office.
A few days ago there was a meeting
of six prominent hnsinoss men of At
lanta—three representing Major Cooper
and threo Dr. Fox.
“After a careful consideration of the
matter lietore them, the joint committee
agreed to submit a report to Senators
Gordon and (Jolqnit*.which in sulwtance
stated that lioth Dr. Fox and Major
Gxipor were willing to rele: Be the two
senators from tlieir obligations, either
implied or expressed. In c:bo the sena
tors could not get together iwid come to
a decision, they were to leave (lie matter
to die presylont for a final deepion. Sen
ator Uord itu agreed to the projiosition of
the joint committee, but Senator Col
qnitt would not.
“It is thought, from the action of Sen
ator Colquitt, that lie hopes the matter
will take such sir \po that a dark horse
may be brought in to win the race. Dr.
Fox and his friends 1 vigorously deny this
They say that Senator Colquitt
would not agree to 1 free himself of his

Fox is the choice of the people' of

“Willie a decidjedly new turn has been

Meanwhile, A. L. Kontz, the man

Mew York’s Coffee Market. "
The continued interruption of cable
communication with Braxil had the ef
fect of sending the price of Rio coffee up
20 points in one day on the Coffee Ex
change. Now that the price has started
upward the brokers say there is no know
ing how high it will go if Brazil contin
ues to he shut out from the rest of the
world so far as cable connection is con
cerned.
The coffee exports from Brazil for the
ear ended June 30, 1891, were 2,800,000
iags; for the next 12 months, 8,000,000,
and for the year ending with the 80th of
last June, 2,042,000.
Mr. Arndt, of the firm of Steinwender,
Stotfregen & Co., says:
“American interests have increased in
Brazil considerably in the last three or
four years, and several American houses
have been started there since that time.
We opened houses three years ago in
Santos and one year ago in Rio, and are
now doing large business with Europe
as well as with the United Slates. “Our
imports have increased from almost
nothing three years ago to about 300,000
bags a year. Europeans formerly doing
a large business in the United State have
lost considerable, which has been taken
from them by American houses.”
Several firms in Baltimore do business
with Brazil. They dub togeth^ *^iud

ers, shipping flour and bringing back cof
fee.
The Rio News puts the population of
the city of Rio de Janeiro at 450,000.
The population of the state of Rio de Ja

about 60,000 foreigners. Eighty-two per
cent of the children do not attend school.

the archdiocese of St. Louis by Arch
bishop Kenrick. The appointment was
made on Sept. 8. The announcement
has caused a sensation among Catholic,
Archldshop Kenrick, who is quite feeble,
long resisted the influences bronght to
bear upon him to accept the aid of a co
adjutor, but final ly consented, and Arch
bishop Kain was appointed.
