At the regular weekly meeting in London, Thursday, of the directors of the Bank of England it was decided to advance the rate of discount to 3 per cent. The advance, which was unex pected, is attributed to the further large withdrawal of gold for shipment. The town of Birsk, in the govern ment of Orengburg, Russia, has been visited by a most disastrous conflagra tion. One hundred and eighty houses were burned, seven persons killed and a large number injured. Among the buildings destroyed were the city hall and Catholic church.

Burkley, of Zurich, in a speech which was delivered alter nately in German, English and French, and which dwelt chiefly upon the progress of the labor movement in the last thirty years. Judge Tuley at Chicago, Saturday morning overruled a demurrer filed by the whisky trust. The issue was whether the court should allow pro ceedings brought in the name of the people by Attorney General Maloney, of Illinois, and intended to dissolve the alleged trust to be continued. By overruling the demurrer the court will allow the suit to continue. A Chicago special of Saturday says: Florida has been ousted from the hor ticultural building at Jackson park. The state commissioners have showu no disposition to maintain a creditable exhibit and Chief Samuels, after giv ing them several warnings, decided Thursday to take aw r ay Florida’s space and divide it among the other states which are anxious to make a good dis play. A terrible wreck occurred Sunday night shortly after 10 o’clock at Lind say, a small village of about 500 in habitants, eight miles west of Fre mont, Ohio, on the Lake Shore and Southern railway. An engine and three sleepers were badly demolished and three people killed outright,while fully twenty-five were more or less badly injured. The wreck was caused by a collision. A Chicago special of Thursday says: The opinion is unanimous among lawyers that the gates of the World’s fair will be opened every day in the week from now until it is finally closed next October. The appelate court will not be in session until after the mid summer vacation which ends in Sep tember, and the appeal prayed for on AVednesday cannot, therefore, be passed on until October. The plant of the A r alley Falls com pany at W oonsocket, R. 1., engaged in the manufacture of colored cotton dress goods, and running 340 looms with 135 hands and weekly pay roll of SI,OOO, have shut down for an indefi nite period owing to the lack of mar ket for their goods. The same com pany’s mills at \ T alley Falls, running 1,500 looms and employing 600 hands, shut down also. The great reservoir of the Portland Water Company, at Portland, Me., burst Sunday morning, letting loose its twenty million gallons ot water in the short space of fifteen minutes. The immense mass of water, thus sudden ly loosened, rushed with mighty power upon the two houses occupied by the families of Michael Lappin and Den nis M. Conley. The buildings were crushed and four of the inmates lost their lives. The gates of the world’s fair were thrown open Sunday, but the gates of the turnstiles failed to click as merrily as on former Sundays. People who did attend the fair were either stran gers in the city for a limited stay or city people who strolled out to pass a day in the cooling shades of the wooded islands. The buildings were open, but the majority of the exhibits were hidden beneath stretches of can vas. At the republican caucus at Wash ington Saturday night, cx-Speaker Eeed was nominated for speaker of the fifty-third congress.

Horace Green, of New York ; these being with the exception of the chaplain, the offi cers of the fifty-first congress. News is received from Washington that the abstract of the national banks of Georgia to the close of business Ju ly 12th, make a fairly good showing in comparison with the banks of other centers, and a very good showing in deed when the requirements of the na tional banking law are taken into con sideration. The Georgia banks hold a reserve fund of twenty-five and fifty two one hundredth per cent, while the requirement of the law is only fifteen per cent. A report reached New York City Thursday night that the steamship Karmania, from Naples. hsft| arrived at quarantine with cholera on board. Three deaths among the passengers occurred during the voyage. Dr. Jenkins boarded the vessel at quar antine and soon after hurried to the city with the intention, it is said, of holding a conference with the health board authorities. The latter so far refuse to enlighten the public on the matter. Evidence of a startling nature con cerning the cold storage warehouse fire was taken by the grand jury at Chi cago Thursday. The witness who gave the startling testimony was John Jos eph Duggan, formerly a Stony Island avenue saloon keeper, and the man who first told of the looting of the cold storage ware House and its firing by a gang of robbers. He was flushed and excited with the inquisition he had undergone, but said he had made a clean breast of it all. A disastrous explosion occurred Thursday on board the German armor clad steamer, Baden, at Keil, Germa ny. Lieutenants Oelsner and Zam bach and seven seaman were killed and seventeen persons wounded. It appears that some of the men just re moved from the magazine a grenade measuring 26 centimeters in diameter. Through some cause not yet explain ed the grenade exploded, killing or wounding nearly every person in the immediate vicinity. A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch of Thurs day says: The New'York and Cleve land Gas and Coal company, one of the largest concerns in the Pittsburg district, whose mines are located on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad are unable to pay their miners in full.

TA NARUS., says: The Osage Indians have refused to treat with the govern ment commission for the cession of their reservation of nearly two mill ion acres, and which lies across the eastern end of the Cherokee strip, to the government, and the commission will return to AVashington in a few days. These Indians are w r orth $15,- 000 in cash and over one thousand acres of land for every man, woman and child in the tribe, and do not care to be crowded by w r hite people. CONGRESS IN SESSION. Tie Daily Routine ol BotS Honses Briefly Epitomized. Both Houses Organized and Ready foi Business. The fifty-third congress, democratic in both branches, met and organized Monday morning. THE SENATE. The senate was called to order at noon, and the opening prayer made by the outgoing chaplain, Mr. Butler. After the president’s proclamation was read, the oath of office administered to Senators Quay, of Pennsylvania, and Pasco, of Florida, a communication was read frdm Beckwith, of Wyoming, an nouncing that, owing to a combination of circumstances, he had placed his res ignation as senator in the hands of the governor. The communication was placed on file. .The secretary-elect of senate, Cox, of North Carolina, had the oath administered to him, and took possession of the office. The usual resolutions to notify the house and president were adopted, and then at 12 :30, the death of late Senator Stan ford, of California, was announced by Senator White, of that state, and as a mark of respect, the senate adjourned until Tuesday. THE HOUSE. As early as 10:30 the house galleries devoted to public use were filled to repletion. At 11 o’clock the reserved galleries opened, and in one minute seats even there were at a premium. The house was called to order at noon, the president’s message read, and the call of names of members-elect begun. Three hundred and thirty-six members re sponded to their names and the house proceeded to vote for speaker, the can didates being Crisp, Reed and Simp son. Crisp was elected speaker, re ceiving 214 votes, against 122 votes i’or Reed and 7 votes for Simpson. There was hearty handclapping from members and generous applause from the galleries when the announced in duction into office of Charles F. Crisp for speaker the second time. He was escorted by Reed, Holman and Jerry Simpson. Speaker Crisp briefly ac knowledged thanks. Jerry Simpson received seven votes for speaker, his full party vote.

Happenings from Day to Day in lie National Capital Appointments in the Yarions Depart ments—Other Notes of Interest. It is stated that the president will send a special message to congress at its extra session in regard to the Hawai ian question. Surgeon General Wyman received a cable message Thursday morning from Surgeon E. B. Young, of the Marine Hospital service, stationed at Naples, stating that the condition of affairs in that city in regard to cholera is grow ing worse. President Cleveland, accompanied by Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont and Attorney General Olney, arrived in Washington at 1:40 o’clock Satur day afternoon over the Pennsylvania railway. They were all met by their respective private secretaries. The president was driven directly to the white house. Acting Secretary Curtis has ordered the force of the bureau of engraving and printing to work an extra -hour each day until further orders, begin ning Monday next, in printing na tional bank notes, for which the de mand just now is very great. This demand is occasioned by the fact that national banks are expending their circulation. The fifty-third congress started ofl with a full house. Nearly every mem her answered to roll call. There never has been a session so momentous and members with such widely diverging views. Nearly every member has some theory, with which he hopes to relieve the financial stringency, and incident ally, for the sake of his constituents, to have spread tipon the pages of the Congressional Records. Advices of Thursday state that Sen ator Vest, after having prepared a bill for free coinage at the ratio of twenty to one, has discussed the subject -with Acting Director of the Mint Preston. Mr. Test has changed his bill to a ratio of twenty-four to one and w ill introduce it iu that shape. It is understood that the administration is willing to accept twenty-four to one, and there may be a compromise on that basis. Judge Crisp says he is unable to give any information oi make any pre dictions as to the policy of congress, as he has seen but few members. He says there is a manifest diversity of opinion. It is apparent that the demo crats are waiting to hear from the president. His message will no donbl tend to crystalize democratic opinion. Southern democrats and those from the middle west say they have no sym pathy with the western mine owners and operators. Heretofore it has been the custom to examine every tenth bale of impor ted tobacco to determine the grade, so as to properly assess the rate of duty. Loss of revenue has resulted from this method, and now Acting Secretary Curtis has directed that not less than an average of every fourth bale of im ported tobacco be examined. This ac tion is mainly directed against fraudu lent importations of Sumatra wrappers for tobacco, the duty on which is $2 per pound. At the democratic caucus Hon, Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, was unanimously renominated for speaker of the house of representatives of the fifty-third congress. Mr. Kerr, of Pennsylvania, was renominated for clerk by acclama tion. The doorkeeper contest ended before the caucus. All the candidates except Mr. Hurt, of Chattanooga, had withdrawn and he was elected. Ex- Congressman Snow, of Illinois, de feated Mr. Yoder, of Ohio, for ser geant-at-arms bv one vote. It stood 96 to 95. For the twelfth time in the history of the United States, congress con venes in “extraordinary session.” The history which the session wfill probably make for itself will probably justify that title in more senses than one. Convened for a single specific object—the repeal or modification of what is popularly known as the Sher man act —it will not be restricted to that bare programme, but will have, in connection with it, to legislate on the whole subject of finance, including, probably, a thorough revision of the tariff. Minister Blount’s long expected re port on Hawaiian affairs in the posses sion of the secretary of state. It arrived in the official dispatch bag from San Francisco,in company with a coromu cation from Mr. Severance, the U. S. consul general in Hawaii, telling of the Fourth of July celebration in Hon olulu, at which Minister Blount pre sided. Mr. Blount is expected in Washington about August 20th to par ticipate in the conference of the presi dent and Secretary Gresham over the amended protocol of a treaty submit ted by the provisional government. The sentiment among southern con gressmen is strong and apparently al most unanimous,in favor of repealing the Sherman act. The southern mem bers will vote for repeal. The project of making an agreement to consider a silver bill after the repeal of the Sher man act is still being agitated and grows*more popular. It is not design ed to interpose any obstacle to the re peal of the Sherman law, but to vote for that willingly, then a bill provid ing for free coinage upon a ratio of perhaps 24 to 1 will be offered and duly considered. The treasury department is taking measures to curtail the expenses of the national commission and the board of lady managers at the World’s Fair. It is stated that both of these bodies have been and are now in session un necessarily, involving large running expenses. Both bodies have executive committees authorized to transact any business demanding urgency, and it is, therefore, contended that it is not ne cessary for both or either of them to remain in session at this time. Sec retary Carlisle’s attention has been called to the large expenses thus in curred, and recommendations have* l>een made to him looking to the cur tailing of the expenses of both these bodies. Everybody should re 4 the paper and keep up with the tiipcs. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. Notes of Her Progress and Prosperity Briefly Epitomize! And Important Happenings from Day to Day Tersely Told. Hinton E.-Carr, president of the Tuscumbia, Ala., Banking Company, has been arrested at Cedar Rapids, la., for w'recking his bank. The Chino, Cal., sugar factory, the largest in the United States,with max imum reducing capacity of 734,000 pounds of beet sugar, started up AVed nesday. The factory gives direct em ployment to 2,000 men in Chino and 700 at another point. The Bank of Abingdon aud the Ex change and Deposit bank at Lynch burg, A r a., both closed down Saturday morning. Quiet, but steady withdraw ing of deposits from both banks for several xveeks and inability to collect is the cause. Both banks are entirely solvent. A. B. AVheeler, superintendent of the Biltmore brick and tile works at Asheville, N. C., w'as arrested AVednes day morning on a charge of larceny preferred by Charles Moname, agent for George AV. A T anderbilt. AVheeler’s system of stealing, it is alleged, was falsifying pay rolls. A Birmingham, Ala., special says: The plan for the resumption of the business of the First National bank has been approved by the clearing house and cheerfully endorsed by de positors. Confidence is generally maintained and the situation is tran quil. A fortnight will probably see the First National resume. The Jacksonville Fla., Clearing House Association, which represents four national and two state banks, has been in existence about a year and has proved a pronounced success. During the past week—six days ending Au gust sth—its exchanges amounted to $258,143.87; balances, $87,557.66- total business transacted, $295,701.53. The grand jury at Memphis Tenn., Saturday indicted Sheriff McLendon, Deputy Sheriff J. A. Perkins, Jailer Harold and Police Captains O’Hara and Hackett for failing to do their duty iu permitting Leo AValker to be taken from the jail and lynched and burned two weeks ago. Several of the members of the mob w ere also indicted. The First National Bank of Bir mingham, Ala., failed to open its doors AVednesday morning. The continual withdrawal of deposits and inability to collect money fast enough to meet the same, was given as the cause. The First National was the oldest bank in Birmingham. It has a capital stock of $150,000. Its assets amounted to $1,350,000, while the liabilities were $650,000. The depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. A Jackson, Miss., special of Thurs day says: Judge Chrisman holds that the Postal Telegraph Company must pay a privilege tax of $1 per mile per year. The amount involved is $927.21 as taxes for the last three years with 6 per cent interests. There is more in volved in the case than the $927.21. If the postal is exempt other companies that have been paying taxes will also claim that they are exempt. The case will be appealed. The suit was brought by the state revenue agent. At a recent meeting in Santa Anna, Tex., of the citizens of that city, a series of resolutions were passed in regard to the extra session of congress. The resolutions Tirgently requested the people’s representatives to enact laws in line with the popular verdict of last November, to repeal the Sherman law by substitute, authorizing the coinage of gold and silver on equal terms, without discrimination against either metal, that both gold and silver be made legal tenders for government debts, and that the issue of interest bearing bonds for the purchase of either gold or silver be discontinued. CRISP~ AGAIN NOMINATED. The Democratic Caucus Re-Nominatcs Him for Speaker of the House. A AVashington special says: At the democratic eaucu3 Saturday Hon. Charles F. Crisp,of Georgia,was unan imously re-nominated for speaker of the house of representatives of the fifty-third congress. Judge Crisp was escorted to the hall of the house from the speaker’s room by Messrs. Hatch, AVilson and Springer. After being in troduced to the caucus, w'hich received him with cheers, Speaker Crisp climb ed to the speaker’s desk,and said: “lhe extraordinary condition of affairs throughout the country has necessita ! ed our meeting iu extraordinary session. Insofar as that condition is attributable to existing laws we are in no wise responsible therefor. Now, for the first time in more than thirty years, wo are in full power and we can make good laws and repeal bad ones. The p ople have entrust ed us with that power and expect us to exercise it for their benefi. Our financial Bystem 3hould be revised and reformed- The strict est economy in public expenditures should, be observed, aud taxation should be equalized and greatly reduced. To these purposes we are thoroughly committed. We must redeem our pledges. Let us begin the work at once. Let us lay aside every other consideration than the public good, and endeavor to so discharge the duties assigned us as to restore confidence, promote prosperity aud advance the general welfare of all classes of our people. “Sincerely grateful for your confidence and esteem, I pledge myself to devo e to the dis charge of the duties of the responsible posi tion you have assigned me all the energy and ability I poss ss.” NEW CONFEDERATE CAMPS As Announced by the General Com manding at New Orleans. The general commanding of United Confederate Veterans issued from head quarters iu New Orleans, Saturday, an order announcing the fellowship of the following named camps in the organi zation of the United Confederate Vet erans and their respective numbers: Camp AValker, camp No. 335, Spartan burg, S. C.; James D. Nace, No. 336, Newberry, S. C.; Camp Benson, No. 337, Anderson, S. C.; AVilliamLee,No. 338, Evergreen, Ala. ; AVoodruff, No. 339, Carthage, Ala. ; Albert Pike, No. 340, Hot Springs, Ark.; John R. Dick ens, No. 341, Sardis, Miss. ; M. P. ! Lowrey, No. 342, New Albany, Miss. ; j Croff-Kimball, No. 343,Dadeville,Ala. ; Peter Bramlett, No. 344, Carlisle, Ky. ; Florian Cornay, No. 346, Hamilton, Ala. ; Jamison, No. 347, Guthrie, O. T. ; Elecno, No. 348, Elecno, O. T. ; Samuel L. Adams, No. 349, Greenville, Ala.; John James, No. 350, St, Steph ens, Ala. TRADE REPORT. ,1 more Healthy Tone Pervades the Markets in all Sections. Bradstreet’s review of trade for past week says: Good crop prospects south tend to produce a more hopefuj feel ing at Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Little Rock, Houston and Galveston. No currency scarce is denoted at Char leston or Mobile. Banks at Memphis, Charleston, New Orleans, Birmingham and Ricmond appear to regard the national bank currency issue as a promised relief. Currency is scarce at Birmingham, -but confidence since the bank failure is returning. At Louisville, were recent bank embar rassments disturbed trade, confidence is being restored, though the volume of business is small. The Carnegie and some other iron works have almost ceased producing, and yet the demand brings no further stimulant, though prices in this line are so low that most makers prefer to 6top than to take lower. Failures during the week number 436 in the United States, against 146 last year and thirty-four in Canada against twenty-four last year. The Avest con tributed most largely to the number of failures, 237 being reported from that section. In the east there were 153 and in the south forty-six. There were three failures of a million or more, two at Chicage, and one in Ncw r York city. WHAT DUN SAYS. R. G. Dun’s review of the state of trade says: Demoralization in specula tive markets lias been followed by a more healthy tone and heavy imports of gold in the hope that monetary trou bles may abate. Bank failures have been almost as numerous the past week as for the two proceeding weeks, but fewer have been of more than local importance. The western states show greater distrust of Aveakness than other sections. Out of one hundred and sixty-nine banks that have failed since March, five were in eastern states, forty in southern and 115 in western states. Failures of national banks numbered fifty-eight, state banks seventy-nine, private banks sixty-se\ r en. POSTPONED AGAIN. The Southern Confederate Reunion Will be Held in October. The Southern Confederate reunion, which was originally to have been held at Birmingham in July and was then postponed until September 15th and 16th, has again been postponed tc take place at Birmingham on Monday and Tuesday, October 2nd ad 3d. Among the reasons assigned for further postponement is the summer heat, to permit the harvesting of crops, the hope and belief that the financial station would greatly improve dur ing the delay and principally Avas the desire to afford the old veterans an opportunity of getting the cheapest rates to the World’s fair. Ajutant General Moorman issued a general order from Headquarters at New Orleans, Wednesday, announc ing the postponement, and stating that the reunion Avould positively take place at Birmingham on the last nam ed dates, and that the unveiling of the confederate monument at Chicago would occur on October 7th. As this ie the only confederate monument upon northern soil erected to commemorate the six thousand confederate dead resting in the shades of Oakwood cemetery, Chicago, Commanding Gen. Gordon appeals to all comrades to form clubs and take advantages of the cheap excursion rates secured for the occasion. Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge will be the orator o f the day. THREE MONTHS MORE And the Great World’s Fair Will Be at an End. The world’s fair is now half over, and the total paid attendance for the first three months numbers 7,000,000 persons. Three months of the show have elapsed, and only three months remain before the exhibitors will begin to move out their displays and the work of tearing down the white city will begin. After that ac tion the park will belong to the people again to be used as they please, and the greatest fair the world has ever known will be over and gone. ATLANTA MARKETS.

Jenning-, of Jennings’ Bus'ness College, Nashville, and this appointment can be largely atiributod to the busin ss training he recoive t from his father, as Avell as to the latter’s influence in securing positions This is perhaps the mos r thorough and influential school in the United States. Its graduates nearly alAvays get good positions. Washing the Face. Some complexion specialists say the face should never be Avashed. At least one woman in New York affirms that she has not Avashed her face in seven years. She has a beautiful skin, and when complimented upon it she says: “Ah, you should have seen my grand mother’s skin. When she was 70, it was like a rose leaf, and she had not washed her face for 26 years.” Similar stories are told of Mme. Patti and other persons of remarkably fine complexions, but the truth of these is not vouched for by reliable authorities. On the other hand,there is a woman living in NeAv York who make a prac tice of Avashing her face every night with soap and hot water. She is over 50 years old, her skin is satin smooth and the coloring as delicate as that of a young girl.
