Washington, September 1".—Secre
tary Foster, as shown by his latest move,
is getting down to small change expedi
ent* in his effort* to get the money to
meet the demands being made upon the
treasury. Although he counts the
fractional silver coin in the treasury as
part or his available cash balance, no
body knows better than he that this
money is not a legal tender, except, in
small* sums, ami he had the United I The appearance ofthe two men exeti-

They had in their possession two Win-! Messrs. Hoke and Burton Smith repre-

And they were making a streuuous
effort to sell that leather tanning pro

But it didn’t sell—nobody appeared

multiples of *50. This is a rather costly in tl,e western P ortlon ct the cit y ln
method of getting the eighteen or nine
teen million dollars of fractional silver
into circulation, but the money is of no
use to the treasury now, except to swell
on paper the total “available” cash on
hand, and he probably realizes that
something must be done, as already
about half of the four-aud-a-half per
cent bonds have been presented for re
demption, although it is but little more
than two weeks since they became due.
Mr. Harrison is finding bis tussle witli
the big men of bis party over the dis
tribution of the rich plums now at his
disposal, a far more difficult undertak
ing than at the beginning of his admin
istration, as every enemy made now will
count in the nominating convention
next year.
Governor June* of Alabama Call* Out the
Cavalry.
Nashville, September 10.—A Mont
gomery special says Governor Jones
was wired this morning by the sheriff of
It is stated that Attorney I Wilcox county, requesting thirty men of
General Miller has been compelled in | the Wilcox cavalry, of Camden, Ala., to
self defense to acknowledge to an In-1 proceed to Furman county to assist him
search of the two men with the buggy,
mules, two Winchesters, two shotguns
and two pistols.
But they didn’t find them The birds
bad flown, and the officers returned to
police station without fiudiug out even
who they were.
" It was reported that the outfit was on
the way to Douglasville, and the detec
tives say they’ll have the leather fakirs,
arms and all, before another day goes by.
TROOPS ON THE SCENE.
diana republican that the rumor of bis
retiring from the cabinet to accept a
place on the new circuit court bench
w as true. The man wanted the appoint
ment himself, and asked Miller for his
support.
After this the republicans are not to
have it all their own way in Ohio, as
they have seemed to do for awhile since
their campaign has been in full blast
and their speakers have been industri
ously pushing aside the tariff question.
But now all this is to be changed and
the democratic campaign, just opened,
is to be made an aggressive one. Mills,
who makes his first speech in that state
to-morrow, will be followed by repre
sentatives Crisp, McMillan, Bynum,
Hatch, and other members of the house,
all loaded to the muzzle with facts con
cerning the billion dollar congress and
the iniquitous tariff, that is daily mak
ing tho poor poorer for the benefit of
certain favored classes.
Secretary Tracy has been trying to ex
plain why it is that only old and worn-
out wooden vessels are In the Asiatic
squadron which is supposed to take care
of American interests in China. His
explanation is just about as satisfactory
as those made by other members of the
cabinet about certain other queer things.
Naval officers know why our new Iron
clads have been doing the seaside sum
mer resorts while the old wooden vessels
have made the United States the laugh
ing-stock of the naval officers of other
powers which have first-class vessels in
Chinese waters. It is {because the offi
cers on the new vessels all have a“pull,”
and they do not regard assignments to
the Asiatic squadron as desirable.
The Virginia republicans appear to be
very much in earnest in their fight
against ex-Senator Mahone and his
sebetno of throwing the republican votes
to farmers’ alliance candidates for tho
legislature this yoar. A mooting at
which seventeen counties were repre
sented was held in Washington this
week, and a call for a mass convention,
to be held at Roanoke on October 1, has
been issued. That convention will, if it
follows the programme arranged by the
antl-Mahoneites, depose Mahone from
the state chairmanship, and uame a com
mittee of one hundred, or a lesser num
ber, which shall have Jexclusive control
of the party interests in the present 1
campaign.
Ex-President Clements, of Georgia, is
believed to have tho inside track for ap- |
pointment to the Inter-State Commer
in protecting five negro prisoners who
are in danger of being forcibly taken by
a mob.
The governor promptly ordered twenty
men to Furman, who started immedi
ately to the scene, and it is thought they
will be in time to prevent mob law.
Campbell Loom* Up.
Columbus, Ohio, September 18.—The
first speech of Governor Campbell in the
campaign iu this state was made at Syd
ney yesterday. Tho governor handled
both tho tariff and silver issues. He as
serted that the republicans were trying
to push tlie tariff into the background
and to force the silver question to the
front. McKinley, he said, had voted
for free coinage as far back as 1877, and
bad been a silver champion as late as
1800. He accused the republican party
of being divided on the silver question,
and declared that the Ohio democrats
would defend biraetaUsm, or “the right
of both metals to unlimited coinage,”
though they might differ honestly as to
how to bring about such result.
McELREE’t WINE OF CAROUI for Weak Nerve*.
He I* Pardoned.
Atlanta, Ga., September 18.—This
morning Governor Nortben issued a par
don to Oscar Cassidy, who was tried for
murder in Pickens county in 1888 and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
Since then it has been demonstrated that
the killing was not intentional and that
no feud existed between him and the
man ho accidentally killed. The judge
trying the case and the solicitor who
prosecuted joined in the petition to the
governor for his pardon. He will be
liberated to-day.
The Clil.lan* Celebrating.
New York, September 18.—The Her
ald’s Valparaiso dispatch says: Not a
singlo member of Balmaceda’s govern
ment is now in office. The government
will return to their homes the crew’s of
the Imperial and Coudell, now in Callao,
but declines to assist the ex-officers of
the vessels. The natianal holidays be
gan yesterday. They will continue until
the 20th. All business houses are closed.
Great festivities are in progress.
BLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation.

.Jackson the railroad.
Allison was a postal clerk, and was
injured in a wreck on the Richmond &
Danville iu November, 1S78.
This is the second time the case has
been tried. On the first trial tho ver

granted on account of the admission of
testimony going to show that the plain
tiff expected a raise in Ids salary about
the time of the accident.

Fire at the Entrance of a Mine Cau.e.
Destruction.
Birmingham, Ala., September 10 —
Slope No. 1 of the Henry Ellen coal
mines, twenty miles from here took fire
at 4 o'clock this morning and the mine
is still burning.
Several acres of land about the en
trance fell in about two hours after tbe
fire started with a great crash.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but no lives are lost so far as known.
Tlie compauy was abandoning the
mine temporarily, and some believe the
miners thrown out of work set it on fire
out of revenge. Tbe loss is heavy.
CLEMENTS BELIEVED TO LEAD.

one party getting them all. We intend to fill in such lines as are
