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.

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 Mount Vernon, Alabama.

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. STEWART FILES AFFIDAVITS. Says He’s Being Made the Victim of Conspiracy and Blackmail. Senator William M. Stewart, of Nevada, who is made a co-respondent in a suit for divorce brought in the courts of the District of Columbia by a man named Glasscock, against his wife, filed iu court at Washingten Sat¬ urday voluminous affidavits, setting forth that the case is one of conspiracy to blackmail and that the plaintiff and respondent had continued to reside together as husband aud wife after the suit was filed.

The British press favors a hostile attitude toward France with respect to her acquision of Madagascar. 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 for a general mortgage of $2,500,000, executed by the Elyton Company of Birmingham, Ala. The Elyton Com¬ pany is the successor of the Elyton 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¬ lishes an article in which it says that it has reliable authority for stating that the judges of the supreme bench have written their decisions in the celebrated dispensary cases. The in¬ formation is that Justices Pope and 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¬ pected the decision to be rendered and the story is likely true. MORE JAPS FOR COREA. ' von Thousand Fresh Troops Have Been Landed at Chemulko.

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 hats reported business heavier than in their preceding experience iu like products. Sales of millinery and dry roods are large, ns well as those of umber. “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.’’ A dress of Japanese crape has ae cerdlon-plaited skirt, a full waist gathered to a bodice, enormous sleeves after the bishop model, a very wide frill of the crape edged with lace falling from a pointed collar and a looped bow at one side of the bodice, the ends almost covering one side of the skirt._ The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad la preparing a gigantic coup that will draw Washington and New York nearer together $3,000,000 by forty minutes, ThiiJa the new tunnel un¬ der the City of Baltimore, by which the tr*nsportatlon of cars across the river at Baltimore will be obviated.
