ing all vessels arriving from European
ports to be quarantined.
Two cases of smallpox and four
deaths from the disease were reported
at New York Thursday morning. The
deaths occurred at the pesthouse on
North Brothers’ island.
Frank B. Kendrick, assistant cash¬
ier in the Commercial bank at Syra¬
cuse, N. Y., is a defaulter in the sum
of $30,000. He gave himself up Thurs¬
day and gave bail in $10,000. Stock
speculation did it.
Director General Davis, of the
World’s fair, called on the president
Thursday and said it was the general
desire that the president should close
the World’s fair. A definite answer
has not yet been given.
The action of the railroads in rais¬
ing has the rates on all. Memphis freight
alienated the sympathy of busi¬
ness men from the roads, and Mem¬
phis denunciation business men are loud in their
of the railroads.
A cable dispatch from Bangkok says:
A final settlement of the dispute be¬
tween France and Siam was arrived at
Sunday by the acceptance upon the
part of the Siamese government of the
drafts of a treaty presented by M.
D’Villiers, the special envoy of France
to the government of Siam.
A dispatch of Thursday from Borne
to the Central News says the Italian
government has decided to refuse to
grant exequaturs to all Italian bishops
nominated at the last papal consistory.
This step is attributed to the pope’s
refusal to recognize the right of King
Humbert to nominate a patriarch of
Venice.
The Moorworth tin plate works at
Elizabethport, N. J., will be closed
down permanently. The buildings
will be sold at public auction. This
ends the tin plate manufacture in the
state of New Jersey, as this factory
was one of the largest. Some of the
employes will sail for Wales and others
will go to Indiana to work in the tin
plate works there.
A Jacksonville, Fla., dispatch says:
Some days-ago a negro prisoner, named
Dansey, with the aid of a white man,
persuaded Deputy Sheriff Binnicker to
allow him to dig for gold, which he had
buried in the woods. The negro, by
strategy, possessed himself of the
deputy’s pistol and shot him. Bin¬
nicker died Friday afternoon of blood
poison.
Two freight trains collided on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail¬
road, three and a half miles north of
Streator, Ill., Friday evening. Engin¬
eer William Gubble was killed and ten
others injured, among them a German
clergyman, of Ottawa, Ill., who sus¬
tained serious internal injuries. It
was a head-end collision. Both en¬
gines were badly wrecked.
Forged Bank of England notes, the
finest and most perfect ever produced,
are in circulation in London. It is
said they were brought from Chigago,
the World’s fair affording especially
good facilities for making counterfeit
bills. The police are certain, any¬
how, that the bills were manufactured ar^
in America and detectives busily
occupied in their inquiries on this sup
posion.
A cable dispatch of Thursday from
Rome, Italy, says: The mail steamer
Carlo R., which sailed from Genoa for
Rio, Brazil, on July 29th, has returned
with cholera aboard her and is in
quarantine at Asinara island, near
Sardinia. The steamer was infected
when she reached Brazil and was not
allowed to land any passengers. Dur¬
ing the whole voyage 114 persons died
of cholera, most of them on the way
home.
All the train hands employed by the
Chesapeake and Ohio, Illinois Central
and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail¬
road at Memphis, Tenn., went on a
strike Sunday and something over a
hundred men are affected. Sunday
was the day upon which the 10 per
cent, reduction on the Chesapeake and
Ohio went into effect. At a meeting
the strikers resolved to protect the
company’s property at all hazards.
A Washington special says: Fears
for the safety of the cruiser New York,
should she attempt to proceed to the
Norfolk navy yard, caused Secretary
Herbert to decide Thursday afternoon
to order the vessel to the Brooklyn
navy yard, where repairs and fitting
intended to be done at Norfolk will
take place. The heavy draft of tfie
cruiser rendered it exceedingly risky
for her to steam to the navy yard.
The material to be used in fitting out
the New York will be sent from Nor¬
folk to Brooklyn.
A dispatch of Friday from Little
Rock, Ark., says; The death of Col¬
onel M. L. Bell, a prominent citizen
of Pine Bluff, has weakened the crim¬
inal prosecutions fjfr embezzlement
against ex-State Treasurer Woodruff.
He was the state’s most important
witness, and by him they intended to
prove that he paid Woodruff in per
printed. His deposition was taken in
chancery in June, 1892, but is not ad
missable in a criminal prosecution.
A New York dispatch of Friday
says: The proposed increase in the
capital stock of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad from $55,000,000 to
§60,000,000 is understood to be for the
purpose of acquiring the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern railroad, now
owned by C. P. Huntington. August
Belmont, chairman of the board of
directors of the Louisville and Nash¬
ville road, would not deny that this
was the case. Neither would ho affirm
it. Mr. Huntington said the Louis¬
ville and Nashville had not yet noti
ied him of its acceptance of the op
on which it had on the Chesapeake,
/kio and Southwestern.
BUSINESS REVIEW.
Condition of Trade as Reported by Don
& Co. for the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co. ’s weekly review of
trade says: A complete statement of
failures for the quarter, which closed
Friday night, is not possible, but the
number thus far reported is about
4,000, and the aggregate of liabilities
about $150,000,000, greatly surpassing
the record of any previous quarter.
For the past week the failures have
been 329 in the United States, against
177 last yeai, and in Canada34 against
31 last year.
“Hope deferred'” explains the past
week in part, and it is doubtless true
that many indulged unreasonable
hopes, but business has not entirely
answered expectations. The feeling
of disappointment is commonly as¬
cribed to delay of action on the silver
bill in the senate. It is also true that
many works, which have resumed op¬
erations, do not find orders as large
or the demand from customers as vig¬
orous as they anticipated, and with
some it is a question whether they will
not close again. While money on call
has been abundant and cheap, and about
$4,500,000 clearing house certificates
have been retired, there is a percepti¬
ble greater caution in making com¬
mercial loans at New York and at some
western points. Confidence, prover¬
bially of slow growth, has been some¬
what diminished, in part, because ad¬
vancing exchange suggests the possi¬
bility of gold exports. The cotton
manufacture is gaining more than any
other, and there is a stronger market
for print clothe and prints, while some
reduction has helped to stimulate trade
in other goods. The enormous de¬
crease in production for the past two
months begins to be felt, and sales are
larger, though much below the usual
qantity.
While seventy-eight manufacturing
concerns are reported as starting,
wholly or in part, against twenty dos¬
ing or reducing force, more than a
third of the increase has been in cot¬
ton mills, and another third in ma¬
chine shops, nail mills, manufacturers
of stoves and hardware, tools and cars,
while in the iron manufacture proper,
only seven concerns have started,
against three that have stopped, and
the outlook does not seem brighter.
The closing of the largest iron mine in
the country, the Norris, which ordina¬
rily produces a million tons yearly,
indicates the limited character of the
business.
At the east the demand for products
is painfully inadequate, even for the
scanty force now at work, and the
lowest prices on record attract little
business. It is said that one sale of
steel rails has been effected by a sharp
reduction in price. The contest be¬
tween the Amalgamated Association
and the works in the Pittsburg region,
has been settled, but too late for most
of the men.
MINERS DROWNED.
Thirty-Seven Unfortunates Caught in
a Flooded Mine.
The Mansfield mine, a few miles
from Crystal Falls, Mich., caved in
Thursday night and a number of
miners were entombed beyond hope of
reseue of any of them alive. The ac¬
cident occurred during the night.
The water of the river rushed into the
mine and the men were entrapped like
rats. It is not possible that any es¬
caped. Most of the victims are Cor¬
nish men and nine-tenths of them are
men with larjje families. The number
of the victims is now placed at thirty
seven. Mansfield is an isolated sta¬
tion on the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad. The mine was the only ac¬
tive one in the Crystal Falls district on
account of its being a producer of
high-grade bessemer ore. It had a
producing capacity of about sixty
thousand tons per annum, and gave
employment to about one hundred
men. The Mansfield mine has always
been considered a dangerous one to
work in, and ThursdayMight’s disaster
often been predicted.
Bismarck Improving.
Advices of Thursday from Kissen
gen, Germany, state that Prince Bis¬
marck continues to gain strength
slowly. His family are arranging to
start with him for home.
THE PRESIDENT’S VIEWS
Set Fortti in a Comprehensive Letter to
Governor Ml
It Was in Answer to One From Geor¬
gia’s Chief Executive.
Some time ago Governor Nor then
wrote a letter to President Cleveland
in which he assured the president of
his sympathy in the responsible posi¬
tion he holds and the obligations put
upon him by the political party whose
trusted leader he is. He further as¬
sured the president of his earnest ad¬
vocacy and enthusiastic support for the
beginning of the conflict _ before the
people because of his unquestioned
confidence in his statesmanship and
courage.
He therefore in his letter suggested
that the unusual conditions, especially
financial and economical, in the state
of Georgia arising from long continu¬
ed delay in helpful legislation might
induce the president to give to the
people a somewhat fuller and more
comprehensive statement of his views
as to the proper policy to be pursued
by congress upon questions affecting
the stringency of the times and the
needs of the people.
The gdvernor was also prompted to
write this letter by his intense interest
in the prosperity of the farmers. He
called attention to the fact that the
time for the sale of farm products had
arrived, that cotton was ready for the
market and that he thought if some¬
thing could be said to these people
which would reassure them in believ¬
ing that the financial legislation would
be such as to give them a sound and
stable medium, that that would be very
helpful.
President Cleveland replied to this
letter as follows: Hon. W. J. Nob
then : My Dear Sir: I hardly know
how to reply to your letter of he 15th
inst. It seems to me that I am’quit
plainly on reeord concerning the
financial question. My letter accept¬
ing the nomination to the presidency,
when read in connection with the mes¬
sage lately sent to congress in extra-*
ordinary session, appears to me to be
very explicit.
I want a currency that is stable and
safe in the hands of our people. I
will not knowingly be implicated in a
condition that will make me, in the
least degree, answerable to any la¬
borer or farmer in the United States
for a shrinkage in the purchasing pow¬
er of the dollar he has received for
a full dollar’s worth of work or for a
good dollar’s worth of the product of
his toil.
I not only want a currency to be of
such a character that all kinds of dol¬
lars will be of equal purchasing power
at home, but I want it to be of such a
character as will demonstrate abroad
our wisdom and good faith, thus plac¬
ing upon a firm foundation our credit
among the nations of the earth.
I want our financial conditions and
the laws relating to our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who
have money will spend and invest it
in business and new enterprises, in¬
stead of hoarding it. You cannot cure
fright by calling it foolishness and un¬
reasonable, and you cannot prevent
the frightened man from hoarding his
I want good, sound and stable mtmey,
and a condition of confidence that
will keep it in use.
"Within the limits of what I have
written I am a friend to silver, but I
believe its proper place in our cur¬
rency can only be fixed by a readjust¬
ment of our currency legislation and
the inauguration of a consistent and
comprehensive financial scheme. I
think such a thing can only be entered
upo i profitably and hopefully after
the repeal of the law which is charged
with all our financial woes. In the
present state of the public mind this
law cannot be buil upon nor patched
in such a way as to relieve the situa
tion.
I am, therefore, opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver by this
country alone and independently; and
I am in favor of the immediate and
uncondition repeal of the purchasing
clause of the so-called Sherman law.
I confess I am astonished at the op¬
position in the senate to such prompt
action as would relieve the present un¬
fortunate situation. My daily prayer
is that the delay occasioned by such
opposition may not be the cause of
plunging the country into deeper de¬
pression than it has yet known, and
that the democratic party may not be
justly held responsible for such a cat¬
astrophe. Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
Colored Democrats of Virginia.
At a general conference of the Vir¬
ginia state league of colored demo¬
cratic voters held at Richmond Thurs¬
day night E. A. Randolph was elected
chairman. A series of resolutions
were adopted, which are to be issued
in the form of an address, urging the
colored democratic and independent
voters to support the democratic state
ticket this fall. They also endorse
President Cleveland “and his course
toward our entire international and
foreign relations.”
A NOTED BUSINESS COLLEGE.
A High Compliment from a Former Presi¬
dent of Vanderbilt University.
Bishop McTyeire, while President of Van¬
derbilt University, said to a mother whose son
warned a po-ition: “Send him to Jennings’
Business College, Nash vile; a certificate from
R. W. Jennings to your son, recommending
him fora posi ion, will be of more benefit to
him than any other influence he could have.”
