WASHINGTON NOTES
NEWS CONCERNING THE VARI
OUS DEPARTMENTS.
Sayings and Doings of the President
and Members of the Cabinet.
Bunday the marine hospital service
was informed of the arrival at the Capo
Charles, Va., quarantine station from
Havana of un American bark with
three cases of yellow fever on board.
The vessel was sent to Fisherman’s
island, a portion of the quarantine sta¬
tion, for detention.
Tho treasury department Las decided
that Balt imported from England is en¬
titled to freo importation into tho
United States under the new tariff bill,
notwithstanding the fact that several
of the dependencies of Great Britain
impose a duty on that commodity
when imported from the United States.
Section GOB of the new tariff bill treats
of this subject.
Information has been received at the
stato dejiartment that tho two Ameri¬
cans banished from Nicaragua for
complicity in tho Mosquito rebellion,
aro now iu Costa Rica. It is said that
thoso men aro well satisfied to accept
tho terms of banishment without de¬
manding a trial or asking the protec¬
tion of tho United States minister to
remain in Nicaragua.
A telegram was recoived at the Jap¬
anese legation at Washington, Mon¬
day, announcing that the emperor
would take up his residence at Hiro
shina, and that the headquarters of tho
army aud navy would bo moved to tlmt
plaeo from Tokio. Hiroshima is a largo
town ou tho inland sea, about 550
miles from Tokio. The action of tho
emperor in taking up his residence
thero is takou to indicate his inten¬
tions of personally superintending
active oiierations in tho war at a point
as near tho scene of hostilities as is
practicable.
A movement 1ms been started at
Washington to organizo a chorus in
Georgia for tho Cotton States aud In¬
ternational Exposition of 10,000 voices
to bo known as the “Dixie Chorus.”
Thoso formulating tho plan intend it
to equal the great peace jubilee chorus
of Boston when .Patrick Gilmoro or
ganized nnd trained 13,000 voices.
Professor N. DnShane Cloward will
leave for Atlanta in a few days to sub¬
mit his specifications and plans to the
exposition managers. Professor Clow¬
ard is tho leading musician of the
capital, and with the exception of Pat
Gilmore, lms organized and conducted
tho greatest choruses over gotten to¬
gether in America.
Chief Hazen, of the treasury secret
service has received a telegram an¬
nouncing the arrest in St. Louis, Mo.,
of Secretary Smith, of tho St. Louis
Bank Note Company. This company,
it will bo recalled, printed and en¬
graved the five dollar and two-dollar
warrants of tho state of Mississippi,
which bore a striking similarity to
United States mouey. The president
of tho company will bo arrested when
he returns to St. Louis, and Agent
Holmes, of tho company, who
is iu charge of tho Chicago branch,
will also bo looked after. Iu tho
meantime the United States district at¬
torney at Jackson, Miss., is preparing
a caso against the stato officials of Mis¬
sissippi. Governor Stono and others
in tho same caso. The Mississippi of¬
ficials refused to call in tho warrants,
but the fact that they havo been de¬
clared illegal by the general govern¬
ment has, it is said, had tho effect of
destroying public confidence iu them
as money, aud the banks refuse longer
to take them.
The Mints at Work.
Secretary Carlisle is now demon¬
strating that ho is decidedly more fav¬
orable to silver than he was a few
months ago. He is now rapidly coin¬
ing tho silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman law. Tho seigniorago ho
is covering into tho treasury. The
mints at New Orleans, Philadelphia
aud San Francisco are engaged in
coining standard silver dollars from
tho bullion purchased under the act of
July 14, 1890, commonly known as
the Sherman law. During the month
of July $430,000 was coined and
during the mouth of August $728,000.
About the same amount will be coined
during tho present month, September,
and thereafter such amount will be
coined as the secretary may consider
advisable under all the circumstances.
Tho third section of tho act of July 14,
1S90, provided that tho secretary of
the treasury should coin each month
into standard silver dollars 2,000,000
ounces of the silver bullion purchased
under the provisions of the
act as much as might
bo necessary to provide for the re¬
demption of the treasury notes issued
in payment of the bullion, nnd that
auy gain or seigniorage arising from
such coinage should be accounted for
and paid into the treasury. Tho coin¬
age now going on is done under tho
authority conferred by this section of
tho law and the seigniorage derived
from it is paid into the public treas¬
ury as required by law and used for
the ordinary purposes of tho govern¬
ment ; but the Temainder of the coins
aro held iu the treasury iu order to
provide for the redemption of the
treasury notes issued in payment for
the bullion.
POISONED 1IIS MELONS.
His Own Son ami Two of His Neigh¬
bors Were Victims.
A sensational tragedy occurred’ near
Dykesville, La., a small town just
across the Arkansas state line, Sunday.
Clinton Thompson, a farmer, has a
fiue melon crop, which has been a
perfect feast to the boys in the neigh
borhoo L The raids of the boys be¬
came so frequent that the old man de¬
cided to put a stop to the depredations.
He put poisou iu some of the tinest
melons and awaited the result.
Sunday morning his son Felix,
Georgo Bridges, a neighbor’s son, aud
auothcr mail named Jacob Muir, were
found dead in the patch. The neigh¬
bor whose sou was among the victims
was the first to discover the dead
bodies, and called Thompson out to
show him the corpses.
When Bridges learned that Thomp¬
son had po : soned the melous and
caused the d tath of his son, he drew
a revolver and shot him dead in his
track*, The murderer escaped.

the question of appropriations made

and aggregating over $400,000.
Coder the old constitution but $300,

notably in the matter of liquor li

over the state which closed up tho
barrooms in sixty-nine out of seventy
live counties of the state.
There were various remedies sug
gested to euro the deficit iu tho raising
of the necessary revenue, but none of
them wero sufficient. Then it became
necessary to cousidor the raising of
$200,000, which would bo needed bo

follows:
“That the state treasurer is author¬

of Mississippi to an aggregate not ex¬
ceeding $200,000, as may be necessary
to defray the current expense of tho

was in June Inst that $50,000 of
these warrants, iu denominations of $ >,
$10 and $20, were received from the
St. Louis Bank Note company, which
had been employed to engrave them.
The new warrants bore a remarkable
likeness to the United States green
back notes. The vignette of Governor
State looked well on the left hand cor
ner. Tho note went in the state. It
was redeemable at the state treasury
on January 1, 1896, and bore a rate of
3 l»er cent interest. There were many
'wko thought, when they saw the notes
in circulation, that the money ques
tion had been solved, and that for all
purposes of local indebtedness no one
would want anything better than
these pretty pieces of paper, which
had behind them the credit of the
state of Mississippi. The exigency of
the state government required a more
rapid circulation of these notes, and
they were ordered to be paid, one-half
iir liquidation of all indebtedness in the
way of salaries, etc. It was at tbis
juncture that Chief Hazen, of tho civil
service division of the treasury depart¬
ment, wrote Governor Stone that lie
was entrenching upon the prerogatives
of the treasury department, and de¬
manding the surrender of the plates
and the warrants still in his possession.
To this Governor Stone replied that
the state knew its rights and was pre¬
pared to defend them.

The little village of Dalton, Ohio,
located nine miles north of Massillon,
was almost totally destroyed by fire
early Monday morning. The fireorig

presumed it started by tramps taking
quarters there for the night. The en

the Bridgewater building, a large
three-story, cased-brick structure,
which, with its contents, was entirely

Danville formerly leased there is no
reason why the standard tariff should

Joo Henry Lloyd and Charles L.
Wilson, both whito, have been arrested
and lodged iu jail at Manning, >S. C.,
for counterfeiting, by deputy Charles
L. Emanuel. Mr. Emanuel says he
found seven molds for counterfeiting
iu all denominations from a nickel to
one dollar. It is thought that there
are several more who will be arrested
in a few days. The counterfeit money
has been passing around for about six
months.
The Columbia, S. C., Journal pub
lishes an interesting article stating
that rumor has it that tho legislature
may be called together in extra session
to change tho election laws, in order
“that there may bo no question of the
legality of Tillman’s election to tho
senate. It should bo stated that tho
republicans are now contesting the le
gality of the eight box and rogistra
tion laws of the state,” and if these
laws are declared constitutional, might
not the legislature elected under them,
and which, in turn, elects a United
States senator, also bo unconstitutional.
The American Pharmaceutical Asso
ciation, in session at Asheville, N. C.,
voted to boycott manufacturers who
furnish physicians with the manufac
tuied , products , for use iu ... dispensing .
prescriptions. This was done for the
purpose of putting a stop to what the
druggists look upon with alarm ns au
encroachment on their own busiuess.
It is claimed by them that year by
year the doctors are getting more and
more into the lmbit of filling their
own prescriptions and dispensing
drugs from their own offices, greatly
to tho detriment of the prescription
business of druggists.

pletely wiped out. The loss will not
prove very extensivo.
At Caledonia four buildings were
struck at different times and each was
destroyed.

The Agricultural Department’s Cot¬
ton Heport.
The September report of the statis¬
tician of tho department of agricul¬
ture at Washington makes cotton show
a decline of 5.9 ‘ points from the Au

was 80.4, and the September condi
tion for the same year was 73.4, a fall¬
ing off of seven points. The Septem
ber condition for this year is 12.5
points higher than that of 1893.
The state averages are: Virginia,
100; North Curolina, 88; South Caro¬
lina, 8G ; Georgia,- 84 ; Florida, 82 ;
Alabama, 8G; Mississippi, 85; Louisi¬
ana, 91; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 89;
Tennessee, 84 ; Missouri, 93.
The principal cause of the decided
decline in the condition since the last
report was the excessive rainfall
throughout the larger part of the cot¬
ton belt, producing a too great growth
of tho weed and checking the develop¬
ment of the fruit, aleo causing shed¬
ding, rotting and rust. The general
tenor of the reports is “too much rain
and heat, causing too great growth of
the weed and too little of the fruit.”
First Clearance of New Cotton.
The first clearance of cotton from
Galveston, Texas, for this season has
