D., to Ecavenworth, Kunsns. The news that President Cleveland had not called upon the infanta in re turn of the infanta’s visit to the white house made an unpleasant feeling in Havana, and the public journals com plain of President Cleveland’s attitude toward the royal guest. On Tuesday presidential postmasters were appointed as follows: Wallace W. Screws, at Montgomery, Alabama, vice C. W. Buckley, removed. Harri son W. Clark, at Jacksonville, Fla., vice P. E. McMurray, removed. An drew J, Sturgis at Crystal Springs, Miss., reappointed. Another democratic editor has been given a position of honor by President Cleveland. This time it is Hon. Wm. E. Quincy, editor of the Detroit Free Press, and he has been appointed min ister to the Netherlands. Mr. Quinby is the editor-in-chief and principal proprietor of the Free Press, with which paper he has been connected for thirty-three years. He is a native of Maine and fifty-five years of age. The free gold in the treasury Mon day, according to the .treasurer’s book, is §2,240,000, but this does not take into consideration the gold shipped from New York last Saturday. When this is subtracted the gold reserve of $100,000,000 will still remain intact, but the margin will be thin. The week ojiened with large receipts, and it is probable that the debt statement on Juue 1st will make a better exhibit than' the May statement. The department of ' agriculture has received 'advices from Copenhagen, Denmark, the effect that Mr. F. An derson, a.lkrge importer of food pro- .ductstin that.city, has sent an order to the United States for considerable consignment of . California canned and preserved fruits. . This, the depart ment is informed, is one of the imme diate results of the recent corn banquet given by the agent of the agricultural department at Copenhagen. Some of the New York papers Thurs day printed a statement tothe effect that Mr. Cleveland intended to call an extra session of congress by the first of August. Mr. Cleveland was asked about the matter by. several congress men. He replied that it was news to him, as he has stated several times be fore he intended' to call an extra ses sion about the 10th of September. He sees no reason why it should be called previous to that time. The navy department, Tuesday, com pleted arrangements for conveying the Columbus caravels, the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina, from New York to Chicago. They will be towed from New York to the mouth of the St. Lawrence, and from there to Chicago. The service will cost about §5,000. Commodore Erben will arrange for their trip to the mouth of the St. Law rence, and the consul nt Montreal will make arrangements for their cruise from there to Chicago. A dinner was given Tuesday night by the president and Mrs. Cleveland to the Infanta Eulalie which was made an occasion of much dignity. The white house conservatories had been fafrly depleted to furnish rare flowers for the decoration of the table and the apartment where the dinner took place. The large state dining room was used and it never looked so brilliant or tastefully arranged. The entire lower floor—the cast room, the blue room, red room, green room and private cor ridors were decorated profusely. President Cleveland has approved the deeds of the Choetow arid Chicka saw nations for their right and titles to leased lands in the Indian territory, formerly occupied by the Cheyennes and Arapahoe Indians, but now con stituting a portion of Oklahoma terri tory, for which the sum of §2,991,450 was appropriated by the Indian ap propriation act of March 3, - 1891. These nations were required to execute releases and conveyances to extinguish their claim in a manner and form sat isfactory to the president. President Harrison declined to approve the deeds submitted for release of the lands. The approval of President Cleveland makes the appropriation immediately available, and the money will be paid to the accredited agents of the Choc taw and Chickasaw nations. In certain quarters, some questions has been raised •as’K? the -competency of Mr. Blount to discharge the duties of United States minister to Hawaii, owing to the peculiar circumstances surrounding his appointment, which, of course, involve the validity and force of all that he has done. Inquiry at the department of state es tablishes clearly the fact that these,-. ’ at. least no doTibt - is entertained in respect' to these points. As soon as Mr. Blount receives notiqs of his appointment, wliieh, v.by the way, will be as “enyoy extraordi nary and mimgter plenipotentiary to the conrt of Hawaii,’’ he may go be fore the nearest United States consu lar officer and take the oath of office. From that moment his salary as min ister begins. There has.been some speculation fin naval circles as -to the purpose of Sec retary Herbert in bringing, the San .at—i . .'oiu me Pacific ana making her flagship cl the North At lantic squadron just nt this time when the policy of the department appears to be to distribute the new vessels among the foreign stations. The rea son is that the secretary is very proiid of the beautiful white .cruiser, and wishes her to take the position of flag ship of the North Atlantic squadron, for which she is admirably fitted so far ns interior accommodations are concerned, in order that in that con spicuous place she might be an ever present evidence not only to visiting foreigners, but to the people of the east of the excellent naval construc tion that is possible on the Pacific coast. The Weal her B nreau. Assistant Attorney General Colby made his report Wednesday on the weather bureau investigation. He re cites a long story' of official abuses which flourished under Secretary Busk. Amou'g other -things he makes the following startling statement: ‘ ‘It appears that there are certain officials in the weather bureau whose duties are merely nominal, and whose time is mainly occupied in -the pursuit of orivate business. There are observers and assistants whose time is only part ly taken up with official work, but who are paid full salaries. An or dained minister of the gospel, whose talents are largely devoted to his du ties as assistant rector in a prominent church, is carried on the rolls of this bnrean as professor of meteorology at a salary of §3,000 per annum. Some of the employes have personal habits which unfit them during a considera ble portion of the time for their offi cial work. Two of the observers have, during the past few months, been placed under medical treatment for habitual drunkenness and their places in the meantime supplied by addition al employes.” TRADE TOPICS. L Dun & Co- Report Bnsiness as Not so Good. R. G. Dun & Co. 's weekly review of trade says: Stocks have rallied from the extreme depression, but business shows no substantial improvement. The distribution of products to final consumers is rather less encouraging, though the weather has been generally more favorable, and at some points helps the retail trade. Wholesale bus iness and production shows each week more hesitation with regard to the crops next fall, the possibilities of the tariff changes and money uncertain ties. Some large failures and many of minor importance'"show the effects of the increasing stringency in money markets, and while money is com paratively easy at New York, the pressure at other points has increased. Almost everywhere collec tions are slow and doubt about the fu ture affects new undertakings, al though the present volume of trade, baaed upon past orders, is remarkably strong. The money position is easier than for some wueks paBt, but exports ■of gold have notably increased. Ex ports of products in April were in value only $<10,012,080, a decrease of more than $15,300,000, while imports were §84,991,092, an increase of §8,000,000. Excess of imports for the month was §24,378,412 and for four months of the current year $86,233,- 913. Iu two weeks in .May exports have been but slightly decreased while imports have been $0,200,090 greater than last year. In such conditions, it is not strange that a large amount of gold has gone abroad this week and §2,250,000 has been ordered for ship ment. The extraordinary bank fail ures in Australia, involving deposits already amounting to more than §420,- 000,000';;-of which over §125,000,000 was -due to British depositors, caused -much realizing on securities and merchandise, the effects of which are felt in Americ an markets. Neverthe less, stock has been decidedly stronger this week with healthy American buy ing. Chicago reports improved retuil and factory wholesale trade, with liquida tion and lower prices for local securi ties and slow collections; eastbonnd rail shipments are larger, but wheat is at the lowest price for thirty years. Milwaukee trade improves, but money is very tight. St. Paul reports fair trade with money close. At St. Louis trade is satisfactory. At Kan sas city trade is fair with money closer. At St. Joseph trade is improving, but at Denver business is slow. At Louisville the money market has im proved. At Knoxville Trade is Slug gish. At Memphis quiet and at Nash ville somewhat better. At Augusta there is no improvement. At Colum bus trade is a little off and money tight, but at Atlanta business is satis factory. Macon reports moderate trade, New Orleans reports a quiet trade with much apprehension of floods; cotton depressed; sugar weaker, and money in increased demand. Wheat 1 1-2 cents lower with sales of 23,- 000,000 bushels for the week. Corn l-8c and oats l-2c lower. Pork pro ducts slightly higher-and cotton un changed. While the great industries are well employed thus far, orders for the future are growing more scanty. The iron trade is Weaker, southern forced sales depressing the price. No im provement is seen in bar iron, Pitts burg having taken contracts nt amaz ingly low prices, while structural iron is lower than ever. Business failures number 247 in the United States against 166 for the same week last year and fourteen in Canada (gpinst twenty-three last year. VINCENT PARDONED. Alabama’s Defaulting Treasurer Ex cites the Pity of Governor Jones. A Montgomery, Ala., special Bays: Ex-State Treasurer Ike H. Vincent is a free man. On Tuesday Governor Jones granted him a full and absolute pardon. Twenty-five thousand people petitioned for his pardon, including 103 of 133 members of the general as sembly. It is one of the most famous eases in the criminal anuals of the state. Vin cent while state treasurer speculated in the state funds and defaulted for §215,000. The governor’s pardon makes several thousand words. The governor dwells upon the;enwgiity of the crime with which Vincent stands convicted and does not exotse ilie wrong committed’ in speculating iii funds with which he was intrust d, but adds that though he had misused over §200,000 of the peo ple^ money, he was not a wholly hardened criminal, as when he left he. had ample opportunity to take much, of the §167,000, which he left in the treasury undisturbed, when the . de nomination of many of the. hiils was so large that he might have easily taken off thousands of dollars " in his vest pocket. After an exhaustive review of- the crime, the return of the”fugitive •frnm justice, who voluntarily gave him self up, the'trial, the conviction and his subsequent six years’ puuisment while diseased in body and wretched in mind, the governor concludes ns fol lows: Even an Almighty Go 1. who juice’ wrth an unerring right; does mot proclaim the doe rine of condemnation beyend pardon. What deitv will not do, wha’ the laws of the state have not done, I dare not do. I cannot shrink from the duty which my conscience imposes after reach ing the conclusion that all the ends of punish ment have been attained, by bonding the pris- r's offense beyond pardon. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. Drexul Morgan & Co. Present tie De tails of tie Scheme To Place the Rickmond Terminal on a Solid Financial Footing. BIG BLAZE IN SAGINAW. mm The Fairest Portion of the City Com pletely Wiped Out. A little spark and a strong southwest gale Saturday afternoon between 4 and 7 o’clock resulted in a very destructive fire at Saginaw, Mich. In that time the Work qf years of toil were destroyed and the fairest portion of Saginaw was left a mass of smoldering ashes and debris. The fire started in Sample & Camp’s mill plant, then communicated to the eastern end of the Bristol street bridge, thence northeast from the cor ner of Tilden and Bristol streets for a distance of a mile in length and four and five blocks in width. Many man ufacturing plants were destroyed, and a large number of dwellings. The losses will reach nearly a million and a half dollars, with probably an insur ance of §700,000. A New York special says: On Tues day Drexel, Morgau A Co. handed down the prescription which they have drawn up as the proper dose to place the Bichmond Terminal again on a sound footing. Their plan differs from the Olcott plan in that the junior securities, ot the later bond issue and the security stock issue, stand the brunt of the pruning, and the under lying securities are in many cases un reliable and allowed to run to matur ity; Drexel-, Morgan A- Co. announce that they have formed a syndicate to underwrite the plan. If the security holders who hc.ve deposited their hold ings unconditionally desire to with draw they can do so on or before May 31st, but all securities withdrawn will not participate in the reorganization. DETAILS OF THE SCHEME. The details of the scheme are as fol lows : The Bichmond Terminal company, Richmond and Danville system and East Tennessee system are to be reor ganized, about six thousand miles of railway in all. The Georgia^ Central is not included, although' the interest in that system must be protected. The reorganization proposes to bring the entire 6,000 miles under one new rail way company, preserving, however, local independence in all matters re lating to operating and traffic and to reduce charges to §6,789,000. The capital of the new company outstand ing on the completion of the reorgan ization is expected to be about §20,000 bonds per mile of rnilroad owned or controlled; §10,000, preferred stock; find §25,000, common stock. The proposed new fixed charges (in cluding rental paid by Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific) are es timated at under §1,150 per mile. The new securities are to be $140,000,000 first consolidated mortgage 5 per cent bonds; §75,000,0005perccnt non-cum- uiative prefercd stock ;and$160,000,000 common stock. It is estimated that out of this total §35,883,000 in bonds will be reserved by the new company under property restriction to be used only for new construction, betterments' purchases of rolling stock and tbe ex tension of and additions to the system. Not over §2,500,000 to be use.d in any one calendar year except that in addi tion to this annual appropriation, a total of §3,000,000 bonds may be spe cifically appropriated, with the unani mous consent of the stock trustees for the building of branches or extensions if undertaken within three years after the creation of the new mortgage. All property acquired with these bonds or their proceeds tobe brought under the lieu of the mortgage. Additional bonds may be issued to acquire the Cincinnati Southern railway, now rent ed, or additional interests in the Geor gia Central. There also will be- a reserve of about §15,000,000. Drexel, Morgan & Co. will take their compensation, except §100,000 to cover their office expense entirely from the new common stock at §15 per share, about §750,000 net. Sveh bonds as are earning their in terest are not disturbed at all. Enough new bonds (in addition to the §35,383, 000) will be reserved to pay them all at maturity. The assessment on Terminal com mon stock is §12.50 per share. East Ten n< Eiec stocks are also assessed. THE BASIS OF ADJTSTiffEXT. The following is the basis of- adjust ment with the Richmond and West Poiut Terminal security holders in se ccrities of the new company: Six per cent Terminal bonds to re ceive 35 per cent in new 5 per cent bonds bearing interest from July 1, 1893; 65 per cent in new preferred stock. "Five per cent Terminal bonds to re eeive 70 per cent new preferred stock; 30 per cent new common stock. Terminal preferred stock, 35 per cent new preferred stock; 65 per cent new common stock. Terminal common stock,oil payment of an assessment of §12,50 per share, to receive 12 1-2 per cent now prefer red stock ; 100 per cent new common stock. The plan provides—'cn-sh- from assessments, the Terminal stock cover ing that company’s holdings of Rich mond and Danville and East Tennes see slock, §8,750,000; assessments on East Tennessee stock held by the pub lic,, §2,700,000 ; sale of $33,333,000 new common stock, §5,000,000; sale of §8,000,000 new bonds, §6,000,000; total $23*250,000. The cash expenditures are estimated at: For floating debts and equip ment notes as estimated January 1, 1893, $12,900,000; new construction and equipment on Richmond and Dan ville and East Tennessee system, esti mated during two years, say §8,000,- 000, leaving to provide for the expense. ..of reorganization and for any eontin geueies surplus to be available for the general purpose of the new eompanv, §2,350,000. Total §23,250,000. A GUARANTEE SYNDICATE. • A syndicate of §16,000,000 has been formed to guarantee subscriptions ‘bv security holders for $33,333,000 com mon stock of the company nt §15 per share, aud for §8,000,000 of the new company’s 5 per cent bonds at 35 per cent and accrued interest, and to take the place aud to succeed to the rights of any holder of the Richmond Ter minal common stock " and the East Tennessee stocks, who shall not de posit their stock and pay the assess ment thereof. The feature of the plan is the large amount of cash it raises, §23,350,000, of which only §6,800,000 comes from selling bonds. All the rest is Horn 6tock assessments and the sale of new common stock. The plan looks for eaily dividends on the new preferred stock. The earnings of 1891 would pay 4 per cent on the new preferred stock. Eight millions in actual money is to be spent at once for the new con struction, equipment, etc. The other feature of the plan is that it provides ample means for all future needs. All the railways will have to he foreclosed and foreclosure suits will be vigorously pressed. Those ccnvereant with the reorganization and its pros pects figure the new preferred stock at 60. The syndicate guarantees, a sale of 88,000,000 of the bonds at 85 per. cent, and of §33,333,000 common s'oek at §15 per share, so the minimum wine of those securities is fixed. Figuring the new preferred stoc-k as 1 >w as 50 per cent. Terminal securi ties are worth to-day about 75 per nt. for the sixes, 39 per cent, for the fives, 28 per cent, for the preferred stock and 8 3-4 per cent, for the com mon stock, THE BEOSGAXIZATION COMMITTEE, The reorganiza tion will be conducted under the supervision of Drexel, Mor gan & Co., through a committee con sisting of Messrs. C. H. Coster, George Sherman and A. J. Thomas. Drexel, Morgan <fe Co. have so much faith in the future of this enterprise that they put two-thirds of the new money be hind most of the present investment. EULALIE LEAVES WASHINGTON Bound for New York City Where a Roy al Welcome Awaits Her, The Infanta Eulalie left Washington at 10 o’clock Thursday morning on a special train on the Pennsylvania Railroad for New York. The Infanta rode to the station in the president’s carriage, drawn by four large bay horses and preceeded by an escort of four troops of United States cavalry. Prince Antoine and Secretary Gresham occupied seats in the carriage with the princess, and other members of the party followed in other carriages. The station was packed with multitudes of spectators. As the train pulled out, every woman waved her handkerchief, every man waved his hat and cheered, and the Infanta smiled and bowed farewell to Washington, AERIVAL AT NEW" YORK. Awaiting the infanta’s arrival New York was a special committee who:escorted her to a. carriage, which she entered, followed by her husband, Commander Davis and General Porter. Other members of her suite got into a second carriage and then both carri ages were drived down to the wharf, where the steamboat General Slocum was moored. • When the party had boarded the steamer the British war ship that had been anchored off the north pier early in the day began fir ing a national salute of twenty-one guns. As the sloeum left the pier the entire party took seats on the forward deck. During the sail up the river the party received an ovation, salutes being exchanged with hundreds of river crafts. The Slocum continued down the river to Thirty-fourth street, where a landing Was made. On the pier was troop A, the crack cavalry regiment of New York, which was to act as a guard of honor to.,i^ie infanta. A detail of fifteen men of the" mounted police formed an advice guard. The proces sion, headed by the mounted band, inarched along Thirty-fourth street to Fifth avenue, to the Hotel Savoy, Along the entire route the princess re ceived a most enthusiastic reception, which she most gracefully acknowl edged. The streets were lined with people, and from the windows of many of .the houses the Spanish and Ameri can nags were flying. THE MAYOR’S WELCOME. When the party had reached the re ception room of the hotel Mayor Gil roy advanced to the infanta and her husband and extended to them hearty welcome. The princess replied very quietly and• with marked accent: “I am very much pleased at the gracions- ness Qf the reception, and can find nothing to say except to thank you.” A few of the committee on hand were presented, General Yarnnm giving the names to Commander Davis, who re peated them to the infant-a and her husband. The infanta expressed her self as charmed with “beautiful Wash ington” and her treatment thus far in America. The party then went to their apartments that had been re served for them.

WHISKEY STOCK GOES DOWN Because of the Withdrawal of Several Members of the Trust. A New York special says: The withdrawal of five distillers from the whiskey trust caused a break in the stock Monday of the latter from 17 3-8 to 13. Transactions were on a larger scale and the dealings were attended with much excitement. The general list was weak and declined a fourth to 1 per cent. At 10:10 o’clock whiskey was quiet at 15. Toward 11 o’clock the market began to strengthen and prices moved up all along the line. •Some good buying orders were exe cuted for the account of operators who feel that the gold report movement has been discounted and who do not bother with the gyrations in Distilling and Cattle Feeding. In fact, some contend that IVoolner and others can not legally withdraw from the com bination.

Cleanliness is always attractive, but it is not quite enough; too often cleanli ness is also barrenness. Be ns com fortable as you can. Don’t buy a chair because you think it pretty unless you can sit comfortable in it, but chairs both pretty anil easy can be had at no high price. At the same time try to study your furniture and make it harmonize as far as possible. Don’t buy red upholstered chairs for a room with a green carpet; get your chairs of a soft wood-brown, which will blend into the color of the carpet, and use a paper of soft, indistinct col oring, that will not force itself upon notice. For a bright, well-lighted room, good etchings or engravings are the beRt adornments for the wall. Don’t cover the walls with creations in hair, wax, worsted or cardboard. These things do very well in their places, but poorly out of them. One good picture helps the appearance of a room more than a dozen knick- knacks of the kind refered to, and will cost no more. A little thought and a little planning, as you furnish your home a piece or two at a time, will result in a harmony that will al ways delight yon. How to Crystallize Grasses. A Few Literary Suggestions. If you are down with the blues react the twenty-seventh Psalm. If there is a chilly sensation about the heart, read the third chapter of Revelations. If yon don’t know where to look fol the month’s rent, read the thirty-sev enth Psalm. If you feel lonesome and unprotect ed, read the ninety-first Psalm. If the stove-pipe has fallen down and the cook gone off in a pet, put up the pipe, wash your hands, and read the third chapter of James. If you find yourself loosing confi dence in men, read the thirteenth- chapter of first Corinthians. If people pelt you with hard words, read the fifteenth chapter of John. If you are getting discouraged about your work, read Psalm cxxvi and Gala tians vi, 7-9. If you are all out of sorts, read the twelfth chapter of Hebrews. — The Bible Pearler. Somnambulism. Somnambulism? What is it? Did you ever walk in your sleep? If so, you know just about as much about this strange use of the faculties and senses of the mind and the body as does the average physician. Som nambulism has been a mystery and a matter of discussion to the medical profession since the days of the an cients. They knew as well as we all now know that there is such a thing as somnambulism or walking in the sleep. They attempted to explain it just ns modern medical science has been en deavoring to explain it ever since. But as it was then so it is now ; there are so many explanations that even the physician is puzzled to decide which to accept.—AV. Louis Globe- Democrat. Very pretty mantle ornaments may be made by gathering clusters of the various field grasses at the season of their greatest beauty, and cyrstalliz- ing them in alum water. All that is necessary is alum, water and an earthen jar large enough to hold the grasses. Dissolve the alum in cold water (a pound to a quart) and warm it slightly. Tie the grass, which must be well dried, to a stick, and lay the stick across the top of the jar, so that the grass will be submerged. Keep in a cool place for twelve hours without moving. Take out the grass and hang it up to dry. If necessary repeat this twice or thrice. Water may be colored with indigo, Prussian red, or saffron tea, if desired. Close Observation. Teacher—“Now you see why some substances absorb moisture. Can any of yon name a substance which so easi ly absorbs moisture that it is nearly always dam))?” Boy—“I-can.” Teacher—“Good. Nothing pleases me more than an evidence of careful observation. What is it, Johnny?” Boy— “Mud.” —Street & Smith’s Good News. A Garbled Advertisement. In her advertisement the lady prin cipal of a school mentioned her lady assistant and the “reputation for teaching which she bears,” but the printer left out the “which,” so the advertisement went forth commending the lady’s “reputation for teaching she bears.”—London Tirl-Bits. Brighest Part of My Trip. The New York fashion correspondent of a Southern paper gives out the following : A lady writes : “ I have read your letters for a long time, and have often envied you the opportunity you enjoy of seeing Ihe beau tiful things you describe. I used to think, when I read of those charming dresses and parasols and hats at Lord & 1 aylor s, that theirs must be one of those stores where a timid, nervous woman like mj’self, having but a few- dollars to spare for a season’s outfit, would be of so little account that she would receive little attention ; but when you said, in one of your letters a few months ago, that goods of the same quality were really -d raper there than elsewhere, because they sold more goods in their two stores than any other firm in New York, and that because they sold more they bought more, and cqu * uently bought cheaper, I determined, if I er went to New York, I would go to Lord A aylor s. “ That long-waited-for tim came in the early autumn, and I found myself standing before that great entrance, with those won derful windows at either side. I summoned my courage and entered, as I suppose tens of thousands of just such timid women as I have done before. My fears were gone in an instant. The agreeable attention put me al my ease at once, and I felt as much at home as though I were in the little country s(ore where my people have ‘ traded ’ for near)v- ^ quarter of a century. _ > " And now, as I wear the pretty things I purchased, or see them every day and find them all so satisfactory, I think of my visit to this great store as the brightest part of ray trip to New York.” Circumstances Alter Cases. •Miss DePink—“Why have you again asked me to marry you?

If some grocers urge another baking powder upon you in place of the * ‘ Royal, ’ ’ it is because of the greater profit upon it. This of itself is evidence of the supe riority of the “Royal.” To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most wholesome food, be sure that no substi tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted - by you.
