exposition at Chicago s hail he opened
on Sunday was received at Washing
ton by a press bulletin early Saturday
afternoon. Attorney General Gluey
at a late hour had received no official
announcement of the fact, He said
that his department had a clear record
in the ease and had exhausted every
legal means to enforce the inundate of
congress in tho matter.
It seems to be throughly understood
in Washington that Colonel Blount has
resigned the Hawaiian mission, The

nied it. His resignation is unexplain¬
able, unless he returns with the inten¬
tion of entering local policies again.

political prognosticators of the capital

finish tlu> work begun by Blount.

There was a slight failing oi. ***
shij'UiiaU ut curr ency Friday. It wg*
estimated that flm amount would fall a
a good deal sh*>rt of $1,000,000. Iho
demand for currency lias had tho ef¬
fect of increasing the amount of free
gold in the treasury and theurnoimt of
such gold at the day’s close exceeded
$92,000,000, which is a gain of more
than $2,000,000 over last week. Of
this sum $1,500,000 came from the
National City bank, which has been
one of tbc largest shippers of cur¬
rency to tho west. The National
City bank lias kept all its reserve
in gold and was thus enabled to com¬
ply readily with the demands of its
country correspondents, a fact upon
which it prides itself. But for the fact
that the treasury has lmd to pay out
large sums for pensions, it would have
shown a large gain *i legal tenders, a
large amount of which was received
from the banks for currency, Thus
far the Hubtreusury lias been < nabled
to meet pretty nearly all the demands
for currency, but there is a scarcity of
“ones," “twos” am 1 “fives,” and it. is
understood on gold or legal tenders
for these. For notes of such denomi
nations it accepts treasury certificates
as well as legal tenders.

sue for ex District Attorney Parsons

A TIMELY STEP
Taken by he* York Banks to Guard
A? Inst a Panic.
A New Y k special of Thursday
Bays: The ; usinoss men of the city
are much elat' d over the action of the
managers of l*he banks belonging to
the clearing »ouso. The very serious
aspect that til financial and commer¬
cial situation,'its assumed, has led to
the necessity i some combined action
on the par; of New York banks.
(Similar action has been taken be¬
fore in tirot - of panic. It practi¬
cally takes the form of an issue of clear¬
ing house certificates to those banks
which, wh perfectly solvent, have
their funds •> in time loans and
are pressed rdfedy cash. No cer
tificates ar ti»ned except to those
banks know, to be in good condition,
and only ill a upon 8f3curities whose
value lias '•<:< n carefully passed
upon by he clearing house
committee/ jeso certificates pass
as currfvpj funds between the
banks, .J*- * thus be used in the
settlement of alauces, relieving the
banks that ml / have a largo debit bnl
ance in the cl taring huose, from set¬
tling in cash.rX As the bank’s paper is
paid off and t.qe general situation irn
proves the balks are required to take
up their cent cates as quickly as pos¬
sible.
Mtnr.r s shipped west.
The preset action of the New York
banks is oh > prepare for a possible
emergency, ’ho crisis prevailing in
tho west, v h has brought about so
many bat md business failures,
lius also •oduced a generally
unsettled g in that section.
In /couse , there has been a
general am. •uvy withdrawal of de
posits by tf astern banks from their
New York ospondents. It is esti
mated tbs o less than $16,000,000
in curren has been shipped out,
chiefly to * if ago anil other western
cities since uue 5th. The strain has
fallen hen ly upon tho New York
banks, and (flowing tho heavy gold
exports, hr bide i toney very scarce
and contri l credit. By the issue
of c/curin; iuse certificates, which
practically .. ke tho associated banks
act as a unit,^a great deal of relief is
given to tho ’ situation, and a further
extension Jit is made possible.

TENNESSEE INSURANCE MEN
To Decide Between Being Taxed or
Withdrawing from the State.
A most important meeting of in¬
surance men representing every COlil
pauy doing business in Tennessee will

upon the result much depends. The
question to be decided is whether the
companies will comply with the state
law or withdraw from the state.
Chapter 122 of the acts of 1891 pro
tides that each and every corporation

Worth Knowing.
In the United States tho average
life for farmers is sixty-four years, for
lawyers, fifty-two; merchants, forty
eight; mechanics, forty-seven; seaman,
forty-six; laborers, forty four.
Assuming tho working age to be
from twenty to sixty years, and count¬
ing only male workers, 440 persons
in this country livo on the labor of
every 100 workers.
Tho eve rage weight of 20,000 Bos¬
ton men was 142 pounds; women, 125
pounds. At Cincinnati the average of
tho same number of men was 154
pounds; of Women 131.
: The United States has more miles

janil •miles Africa and yet combined, Europe by alone nearly has 10,000 235,
b00,000 more population than Ameri

i A lake of ink, over an acre in extent
has just been unearthed in that ex¬
(boundary tremely volcanic region on the eastern
of Lower California. In
the liquid state it is a dull gray tint,
but when dry it assumes a very deep
black. That it would make an ex¬
tremely durable stamping ink one of
tho explorers who fell in by mistake
has discovered to his cost. The ink
dried with wonderful rapidity and left
an indelible stain upon liis garments.
The Gould estate is said to have in
creased in value about $0,000,000
since the death of Jay Gould. The
other day it was stated that it had
I decreased exactly this amount in
1 value. George Gould is said to be
the equal of his father in shrewd deal¬
ing. The amount of stock that is held
as a family estate, in which all the
heirs participate, is $30,000,000 of
Western Union, $15,000,000 of Mail
batten and $25,000,000 of Missouri

Distribution of Sexes.
The distribution of the sexes is in
some cases very uneven, considered by
States, hut in the aggregate the divis¬
ion is a surprisingly close one. Thus,
in the entire country there are 32,000,
000 men and 31,000,000 women. Men
are in the majority in all the states
and territories except in the District
of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, North Carolina, Maryland,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, New
York, South Carolina, Virginia and
New Jersey, in which there are more
women than men. The District of
Columbia has the largest proportionate
excess of female population and Mon¬
tana contains the largest per cent of
men. In New Jersey the two sexes are
most nearly equally represented.
The Panama Silk Tree.
One of the greatest curiosities of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. It is a plant that grows from 15
to 20 feet high, and in appearance does
not differ greatly from other trees, but
the inner bark is a perfect silky fiber,
long, smooth and strong. The natives
separated it by some method best known
to themselves, the process somewhat
resembling that of beating flax. When
once it is separated and spun into
threads, it can be woven into a fabric
bo closely resembling silk that it is
difficult for any one not familiar with
it to distinguish between the two. This
species of silk goods is in high favor
on the isthmus, and a Colombian belle
is never happier than when she is
arrayed in a gayly colored dress made
from the trees in her father’s yard.—

The Sultan’s Gift.
The Sultan of Turkey has sent a
magnificent present to President Cleve¬
land as an evidence of the good will
that exists between their respective
countries. It is a superb and artistic¬
ally wrought gold medal set with cost¬
ly diamonds. The design is commem¬
orative of the four hundredth anniver¬
sary of the discevery of America, and
it has pictured on it tho Columbian
caravels. The medal is said to have
cost over $20,000. The President will
not accept it as a personal gift, but
has decided that he will have it placed
in the museum of the State depart¬
ment.

He was horribly emaciated from the

It is difficult to describe his appear¬
