Sayings and Doings of the President
and Members of the Cabinet.
Orders have been issued to hurry
the work on the Detroit at Norfolk, so
that she may sail for China in compli¬
ance with Secretary Herbert’s direc¬
tions as soon as possible.
The post office department, because
of the insufficiency of the appropria¬
tion, is obliged to stop advertising un¬
claimed letters, which cost $20,000 a
year, Quite a number of other de¬
partments—notably the army and
navy vices departments—by reason of ser¬
of exigency, ore on the ragged
brink of deficiencies, which it will be
difficult to avoid.
General Howard has issued orders
from the headquarters department of
the east, at Governor’s Island, N. Y,,
to Lieutenant Allyn Capron, Fifth in¬
fantry, with Company I, Twelfth in¬
fantry (Indian company), to proceed
without delay to Fort Sill, Indian Ter¬
ritory, with all the Apache Indian pris¬
oners (Geronimo’s band) now at

Surgeon General NVynian, of the ma¬

Passed Assistant Surgeon J. A. White,
Lieutenant Robertson, of the revenue
cutter service, and Dr. G. G. Thomas,
of Wilming, N. C., as uboard to select
a site for a quarantine and marine hos

So many Americans have applied to
the Japanese legation for employment
in the service of Japan during the
present war that in order to answer
such applications promptly, the minis¬
ter has been obliged to have recourse
to a printed circular in which he re¬
turns a negative reply to nil inquiries
and stating that at this juncture the
Japanese government does not feel
under the necessity of employing any
persons in addition to those who have
been trained to perform the duties of
such service.
Reviving Industry.
A general but gradual revival of
business is making itself felt in the
treasury by the heavy demand for
small notes of the denominations of
one and two’s. Money of this class is
in great demand in the south and
southwest, especially, and while the
treasury is doing its utmost to accom
modate all who ask for small money it
caunot always supply all orders a^
promptly as desired. Preference is
given to orders when gold is deposited
for small notes, as it is the policy of
tho treasury to build up its gold re¬
serve by nil legitimate means. For
the past six weeks the amount of money
sent to tho treasury for redemption has
been unusually heavy,averaging $750,
000 a day since Se 2 itember first.
For the Atlanta Exposition.
The geological survey has started
out a corps of photographers to secure
among the southern hills and moun¬
tains, and views of tho mineral dis¬
tricts of Georgia, Norlit Carolina,
Teunessee and Kentucky preparatory
to the display it expects, to meke at
the Cotton States and Iternational ex¬
position. It is proposed to have one
end of the building made into a net¬
work of these photographic transpar¬
encies, and heavy glass plates would
have to be ready for framing as the
building went up. The corps will
reach Atlanta in three weeks’ time. It
will take in the Craubury iron dis¬
tricts in North Carolina, Those
arottnd Knoxville, the scenes about
the French Broad and Asheville and
Chattanooga, before going into the
mountains of Northern Georgia.
The Government Taking an Interest.
The government has asked to be
given general supervision of the exhi¬
bit of tho mineral and geological re¬
sources of the sonthern states at
the Cotton States and International
exposition, and the exposition eoiu
nany has gladly granted a request,
which will mean very much, not only
to the exposition, but to each and
every southern state. This exhibit is
to be made entirely outside of the gov¬
ernment exhibit; and the decision
means that the government will have
the general supervision of the exhibits
iu the mining building as well as of
the government exhibit itself. This
request not only shows the great inter¬
est which is being felt by the govern¬
ment officials in the exposition
movement, but a display so
arranged and handled that it
will afford the southern states an
opportunity of making a display of
their mineral wealth, which should be
practically impossible, under any oth¬
er circumstances. The force of the
geological survey will practically be
placed in this exposition work and the
government geologists will bend their
energies toward making it the most
thorough and complete exhibit of
sonthern resources, which has ever
been made—greater, perhaps, than has
ever been believed possible. The prop¬
osition comes from the government
without any solicitation on the part of
the exposition people, and the cost will
be defrayed outside of the exposition
appropriation. It menus, in fact, just
that much additional aid from the gov¬
ernment, and it is a very great deal.

The trouble between France and

The cotton seed mill owners of Tex¬
as have $10,00 >,000 invested. They
say they lost $1,000,000 last year by
paying too much for seed and are now
charged by farmers to be combining
to hammer the market down to $6 or
$7 per ton. Several populist farmers
in northern Texas have been indicted
for combining to keep up the price of
cotton seed and Attorney General Cul¬
berson is preparing to bring suit
against certain cotton seed oil mills
for violation of tho anti-trust law by
combining to keep the'price of seed
down.
A Savannah, Ga., special says*. Mr.
Samuel Martin, representing S. M.«
Inman & Co., is in the city for the
purpose of opening a branch office of
that firm here. The purpose of the firm
is to sell their cotton in this market
and put it on shipboard here. They
expect to use the port freely which will
add largely to the receipts here, much
of this cotton having formerly gone
through Norfolk and Charleston. In¬
man A: Co. are perhaps the largest
buyers of spot cotton in the world and
the opening of an office here will mean
no doubt a great deal to the port.
The Maryland Trust Company of
Baltimore, has been selected as Irustee

Land Company, which owns most of
the land on which the city of Birming¬
ham is built. The general mortgage
is to cover all the property owned by
the Elyton Land Company, which, in
turn, agrees to execute and deliver the
property to the Maryland Trust Com¬
pany as trustee, to be held as security
for the general mortgage bonds to be
issued.
The Columbia, S. C., Register pub¬

it has reliable authority for stating

Gary will declare for the constitution¬
ality of the law in toto, while Chief
Justice Mclver will maintain its un
Jonstitutionality on the same grounds
advanced by him in a previous decis¬
ion. This is the way everybody ex¬

BUSINESS IS BETTER.
According to Bradstreet’s Report For
the I’ast Week.
In their report of the state of trade
for the past week, Bradstreet’s says:
“The condition of general trade this
week is an improvement over one week
ago, in that favorable features repor¬
ted then have been maintained. The
surprisingly good reports of business
south, and, with some exceptions, west,
are indicated by our special advices
from Baltimore, Nashville, Chicago,
St. Louis, Portland, Ore., and San
Francisco. Baltimore jobbers in all
leading lines report the volume of mer¬
chandise distributed in excess of ex¬
pectation, and especially dry goods in
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
except in the fruit and coal regions.
Other southern products being in good
supply, orders continue liberal and
mercantile collections are easy. Nash¬
ville, while reporting no improvement
over favorable features made last week,
notes their continuance and that col¬
lections are prompt.
“One sale is reported of 10,000 tons
of southern pig iron this week. Ac¬
tivity reported in almost all lines at
Chicago a week ago, is continued,
merchants being satisfied with the vol¬
ume. Far western buyers who used to
buy in eastern markets are purchasing
stocks at Chicago.
“Greatest activity is shown in dry
goods, clothing, millinery and shoes.
Wool is active. St. Louis manufac¬
turers and jobbers of clothing and

their preceding experience iu like

“Charleston telegraphs that general
aide is fair, without new features;
hattanooga, that there has been some
ght improvement in business; Mem
jis, that business is quite active, es
jeially in dry goods and groceries;
tlanta, that collections are freer and
fade is improving; Savannah, that
:e volume of business continues to
rnprove and that extraordinary heavy
dealings in spirits of turpentine have
taken place. Dry goods jobbers at
Augusta have been doing a larger busi¬
ness than for sometime previous, while
at Jacksonville local trade has been
cut into by heavy rains. Only a fair
volume of business is reported from
Birmingham, and at New Orleans there
has been very little change. Galveston
reports that sales of dry goods will
continue smaller until the middle of
October, when new orders will be re¬
ceived. Texas cotton is beginning to
move, which helps business collec¬
tions.’’
