The solicitor of the treasury has given an
opinion that men engaged on fishing vessels
are legally entitled to treatment in the ma
rine hospitals. Surgeon-General Hamilton
will, in a few days, issue on order to medi-
cal officers of the marine hospital service
to admit seamen of the class indicated in
-accordance with the solicitor's opinion.
The cabinet meeting to-day was shorter
than usual. Posmaster-General Vilas was
tho only absentee. The preparation of the
-annual reports of cabinet officers was the
only geunine question considered. The
death of General McClellan waa feelingly
alluded to by the President nnd members
of the cabinet It was definitely learned to
day that General McClellan came very near
being mode a member of President Cleve-
Jand's cabinet; that he won tendered the
Russian mission and declined it becanse
of bnsincss engagements, nnd tbat within
the post Iv.eiitv-fonr hours the President
had concluded to offer him an appointment
as a member of the Civil Service Commission.
The mail stage from San Angelos to
Abilene, Tex., was stopped yesterday by
two masked men and robbed of all regis

The post-offiees at Middleton, Ohio, and
Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, were broken
open by burglars last night and robbed of

OPERATIONS OP THE HINTS.
The annual report of Director of the Mint
Kimball, made public to-day, shows the
value of gold deposited at the mints and as
say offices during the year was <50,848,752,
of which <3,854,079 consisted of receipts of
gold deposits. Nearly <32,000,000 consisted
of domestic bullion, over <11,000,000 of for
eign bullion and some <800,000 of foreign
coin. Tho value of silvor deposited for bnrs
and purchased for coinage, computed at its
coin rate in silver dollars, was <38,082,222,
of which <l,292,s41 were redeposits. Of
silver deposited and purchased, over
<22,000,009 was classified at tho
mints as of domestic * production,
<200,000 was of foreign bullion and <1,000,-
000. of foreign coin. The total coinage value
of gold and silver deposited and purchased
at the mints wrss <89,1830,970, against <89,-
935,154 in the previous year. The decline
in tho production of gold on the Pociflo
coast is shown by the continued falling off
of deposits at the mint at Han Francisco,
the value of gold deposited at that institu
tion haring declined over <800,000 since
1881. The total imports of gold bullion
into the United States was <8,849,337, oil
of which, with the exception of about
<1,000,000, was imported at the port of
New York. The deposits of gold bullion
classed os foreign at the mints wen <11,-
000,000, from which it would appear that
over <2,000,000 worth of gold bullion had
reached this country that was not entered
at the custom house. The imports of gold
coin amounted to <17,842,459, of which
<3,352,090 consisted of our own coin and
$14,490,329 of foreign coin. The imports of
silver bullion amonnted to <4,530,3811. The
import of silver coin was <12,029,243, of
which <673,970 was our own coin.
The exports of gold bullion amounted to
only <39o,750, nearly all qf which waa in
United States liars. Of silver bullion the
very Urge sum of <30,422,924 waa exported,
only <1,500,000 worth of which consisted
of ban hearing the United States mint's or
or ass«y office s stomp. From tbU it will
be seen that about <19,000,000 worth of the
ailver product of the country found iU way
abroad by exports. The export of Amen-
can gold coin antountal to <2,745,
809 nnd of foreign gold coin to <5,736,-
333, a total of $8,082,142. The
exports of American ailver coin amounted
to <1,211,027, <1,073,150 of which consisted
of trade dollars, and the exports of foreign
silver coin to <12,000,612, some <10,000,090
of the amount being exported from the port
of Han Francisco.
The coinage executed at the mints during
the year was as follows: Gold, <24,861,123;
ailver, $28,848,969; minor coins, <527,549;
total, <54,237,639. Of the silver coinage
<28.628,562 consisted of standard silver dol
lars. In addition to the coinage exe
cuted, gold I uni were manufactured
of the value of <32,027,463 and silver bars
of the value of <9,519,313—0 total of <41,-
676,776. The bars manufactured exceeded
by some <10,000,000 the value of those pro
duced in the previous year. The total value
of gold bars exchanged for gold coin was
<2,065,021, against <25,800,799 the previous
venr, showing a Urge falling off in the de
mand for gold ban lor export.
The silver purchased for standard dollars
coinage during the year was 24,212,412
standard ounces, costing <23,747,460. The
avenge price paid for ailver during the
year was <1.08.9. The average London
price was about <1.09.1.
The seignorage to the government eras
some 18 per cent, on the cost value of the
bullion. The seignorage on the collage of
silver dolUrs during the year wee <4,355,-

A Few Examples In the District of Colum
bia—Other Items*
[SPECIAL COaBESFOVDXVCE.]
Washreciton. D. C., October 27.—As the day ap
proach for the elections In Virginia, Maryland and
New York I find tbat forebodings of disaster per
vade the Democratic mind hero st the capital. It
is undoubtedly true that the seeming indifference
of the administration with respect to the result iu
New York is working disadvantageous^ In all the
States named. Virginia, however, will, I feel con
fident, pull through with a satisfactory majority,
though the figures may not verify the high anticipa
tions as announced iu my letter of a mouth ago.
Unfortunately there are in some rather close districts
two and even more Democratic legislative tickets in
the field. This will operate to decrease the Demo-
cratic majority in the Legislature, but after all,
I hare every reason to believe there will be victory
all along the line. A strong card for
the Democracy of the ‘Did Dominion"
is the visit of John Sherman and Governor-elect
Foraker, of Ohio, flaunting their bloody shirt ban
ner. This will tend to Intensify the feelings of Vir
ginians and array them to a man in solid phalanx la
opposition to the machinations of the outcast Ma-
hone and his willlug and desperate tools.
New Yolk Republicans, enthused by the result in
Ohio and strengthened by the divisions be
tween Tammany and |the County Democ
racy in New York city, are more than
hopeful, and they mar well be. Unless these dis
sensions are healed and the leaders of the respective
factions devise means and measures to insure vic
tory in the brief time allotted between now aud
next Tuesday, it may be set down aa certain that
the Empiie State this year will be loat to t*:e party
which elected the present Governor and brought
Mr. Cleveland into the Presidency. A good move
on the part of Secretary Manning, and one which
will materially aid the New York Democracy, is in
requesting the resignation of Second Assistant Sec
retary Coon of the Treasury Department Inspired
by the Ohio election, he became blatant in bis de
clarations of fidelity to the Republican party.
Always a Republican, he says he is still one, and
rejoices over the election of Foraker. and feels that,
his own tttetc of New York, as well as Ohio, will
show Its uncompromising fidelity to the “grand
old party” in November next One of his singular
outgivings is tbat Mr. Fairchild, first assistant sec
retary of the treasury, aud himself are paired on
the New York election. This "bangs Banager."
The ugly feature iu this business is that it looked
like an authentic pronouncement of the adminis
tration’s assumed sympathy with the anti-Demo-
cratic element in New York politics at the present
time. Therefore the demand of Secretary Manning
for bia resignation will tend in a measure to remove
from the Democratic mind such erroneous impres
sions as to the administration.
Judge Tboman, of the Civil Service Commission,
has tendered his resignation and it has been accept
ed by the President. A more dishonest and ineffi
cient triumvirate never existed than this same
board. The President, it la said, will, at an early
day. reorganise this commission and will select none
but able, honest and competent men. If we are to
have civil service let onlv such be appointed.
Eight months have now elapsed since Mr. Cleve
land's occupancy of the White House, and yet all
our principal district offices, with. 1 believe, a sin
gle exception, are still filled br the Republicans,
black and white, who were appointed to them un
der the various administrations of the last twenty-
four years. The occupauta of these offices have, of
course, a small army of employes under them of
their own selection; aud these again, of course, are
of the school in which their masters were trained,
and to the teachings of which they presumably
cling with exemplary fidelity. Only one or two of
the former and comparatively few of the latter are
btmajlde Washington Ians, aud none of them repre
sent the political views of the vast majority of onr
people, or are attached to us except as leeches of
tho most Incorrigible blood-sucking propensities.
Conger, son of the senatorial fog-horn from Mich
igan—an alien here and as callow as a boarding-
school miss—ia still our city postmaster; Edmunds,
of Iowa—a veritable Justice Hhallow—a pseudo
Democrat and one of our supreme council of three,
yclept commissioners, still lords it in his irresponsi
ble office, pockets tbs ducats and abuses our pa
tience. Fred Douglass, from God knows where—
Africa. England, Maryland or Massachusetts—who
as register of deeds, has absorbed about seven thou
sand dollars in fees, etc., since the 4th of March laat
•till basks In the sunshine of executive protection.
Ramsdell. Pennsylvania, register of wills, soiuctlmo
editor of the Washington Republic, aud as vulgar a
partisan as ever soiled paper or prostituted an hon
orable profession to duramatory uses, is still the
beneficiary of a President whom, during the recent
campaign, in the columns of his paper he slandered
without stint and without compunction. McMich-
ael. of Pennsylvania, United State* marshal for tho
District, one of Mr. Arthur's appointees, and whose
vote was one of the eighty thotuaud that
swelled Rlaiue’s majority in the Keystone
State, still enjoys the i«tronage of the party which
he attempted to knife only a few years ago. Rut
why go on? Of this class are the rank and file who
for a quarter of a century have filled our places of
trust and emolument, to the almost utter exclusion
of those who are "native here and to the manner
born,” or of long time identity with us.
Mr. Lincoln was hardly warmed at bis seat when
these spoilsmen were upon us, "pushed us from
our stools,” grew insolent and proscriptive in our
own household and became the ministers of a spe
cies of penal code which not only debarred us from
participation In the management of our own affairs,
nut practically made ua aliens upon our own soil.
Virtually, we are still under the ban, and. being
powerless to help ourselves, our only hope is in the
chief executive, who, under the law, is empowered
to undo the evils of the past and give us, as far as
possible, representative self-government Mr. Cleve
land ia pledged to "home rule.” As far as the
Territories are concerned he has conssctentionsly
acted op to hia.faith. In tboee he has not
only appointed actual citizens to office, but in ev
ery Instance pronounced Democrats. We ask no
more or lee. from hia hands. The Democracy of
this city did more yeoman's service, worked more
zealously and contributed more liberally toward
his election than all the Territories combined, and
we are at least entitled to equal consideration. Why
the Indefatigable labors of one such estimable cttl-
aen and enthusiastic Democrat as Lawrence A.
Gardiner. Eaq., of tbia city, I honestly believe, con
tributed more to the successful Issue of the Prssi
dentist campaign than did th# services of any one
hundred in the Territories that could be named.
But this Is invidious. In this district the Demo
crats wers all laborers, and sorely the laborer
worthy of his hire.

AN ADDRESS BEFORE THE AMERI
CAN ASSOCIATION.
Principles Which Should Control Mlsslon-
• ary Work—Northern Work Among
th© Southern Negroes—The
Chnuge In Hentlment,
Madison, Wii., October 30.—Tbe largest
assemblage of the session gathered at the
closing meeting of the American Mission
ary Association last night to listen to the
reading of a paper by Geo. W. Cable, en
titled “A Disinterested Report.” Mr.
Cable was very cordially received
and spoke for one and a half hours
to mi unusually highly appreciative and
demonstrative audience. He began by lay
ing down at some length the principles
w hich, in his opinion, should be the basis
of all church giving and missionary effort.
The glory of man lies in giving rather than
receiving. God ia the great giver, and the
greatest illustration of spiritual truth is
that tho greatest getting is giving. God
ever gives man all the good he can give
him—pives him os much to do as the noble
part in his own nnd the world’s
elevation and regeneration and human ca
pacity in its continual expansion can use.
lie will not save the whole human race at
once, because he will not rob it of that
share in the glory of such work which by
waiting on it may grow into the ability to
grasp and make its own. Hence the race
ms this missionary work of its own salva
tion on its hands. Whatever tends to the
elevation of man can nnd should
be made to work into the great
plan of the world’s salvation. Educational
work is missionary work, and missionary
work is every Christian’s business. It is
not merely something with which he may
concern himself, bnt it is from the true
Christian standpoint his personal affair, of
which his private business is simply a sub
sidiary part, and whoever is here in this as
sembly in the right spirit to-night is here
looking after his own business, not his
charities. He is here as one of a board of
examiners, auditing tbe accounts, to know
whether bis agents are handling his inter
ests well or ill. To such a man a report,
not from his own managers, but from out
side, ought to have a special value. Tbe
agent of a charitable enterprise might dis-
S ense with such a thing, but mission w*ork
oes not serve so low a view. Mission work
is the Christian’s business. The principles
of such business demand a disinterested re
port.
The speaker pointed out the great change
that has taken place in the nttitudo of the
Southern people toward missionary efforts
of the North among thofreedmenin the last
twenty years. Disfavor has turned to fa
vor, contempt to admiration. The South
is free to acknowledge to-day its indebt-
ness to the educational missionaries of the
Northern churches, which arithmetic can
hardly define or words express. Not that tbe
Southern people had bidden biui to speak,
bnt that many of them,some of them chosen
by tbe people’s vote to represent nnd ad
vance their public interests, bad kindly
given their written utternnee.
Mr. Cable gave his own peculiar view of
how institutions for technical and indus
trial training in the South should be car
ried on, recommending enlargement every
where, bnt warning the management not to
lot this expanse be at tho expense of higher
intellect and learning. The speaker closed
with an earnest appeal to Northern mission
aries to cultivate the personal amity and
social friendship of the Southern people,
this being in his opinion one of the i>ointH
of vantage which nave l>een naturally but
unfortunately neglected, and which the pres
ent state of feeling will make it easier to
occupy than it has ever been before.

A HORRH1LB TALK FROM MEXICO
Cruelties by Ilsmllt, That Would
Aparltra to Shame.
Cm or Mexico, October 30.—Recently
most horrible outrage was committed in
Tobasco, tbe details of which have horri
fied the State. Juan Vincente Pakvicini,
waa travelling aith hia wifo and child to bin
hacienda. On the way a bandit, Manael
Padron, came ont on boneback and tried to
carry oil the wife Of Palavicini. A fight took
place and Padron waa killed. After the
former had left hia family at his hacienda,
he returned toward the town of Teape, to
adviae tbe authorities of wbat he had
done. On hia return he was
captured by a brother of the bandit,
misted br three desperadoes. They took
him off bia bone and, stripping off his
stockings, flayed the soles of hi* feet and
made bun walk with the raw flesh nearly
mile. They then cat off his ears and
.wrist*, in which condition ha was obliged
to walk some more. They then took out
his eyes and lashed him to make him ran.
Finally they dragged him at the head of
their saddle*, and then tore, him in two.
The |ierpetratora escaped, bnt a feeling has
sprang np that if they are canght it 1*
likely they will suffer in the same manner.

NewOxleans, October 30. —Theo. Boasao,
ex-chief of aids, convicted of publishing at
true a forged certificate of marriage between
himself and Mary Catherine Vnhne, and
using the same to defrand and ruin her,
was brought np for sentence today, unac
companied by counsel. When asked if he
had anything to say, be handed the jnd
question in arrest of judgment which
overrated. After this he filed a bill of ex
ceptions. Judge Roman then said: "Pub
lic opinion spoke lond in its denunciation of
the crime for which yon ore nrraigued here
to-day. It spoke as lond as it hod spoken
and speaks yet in the Ford-Murphy trage
dy, upon the final scene of which the cur
tain of justice soon will drop. It is well
that the voice of pubic opinion should be
heard on such occasions. It stimulates the
servants of the people in the performance
of their duties. It gives confidence to the
good elements of society. It warns assas
sins, it warns robbers of women's honor,
and all classes of evil doers, of wbat fate
awaits them when they fall, as they all
eventually must, into the meshes of the
law. As for me, I shall never spare them
so long as the law and my oath of office
point ont the line of conduct incumbent
upon me, as they do in this instance,''
Judge Roman concluded by sentencing
Boosso to fourteen yean hard labor in the
penitentiary.
W. S. WARNER ON TRIAL.
Nxw York, October 31.—Ward, smiling
arid perfectly s< If-possesscd, came into the
crowded room this morning to receive sen
tence for one of the many crimes which he
had committed in the world of finance. The
sheriff and warden of Ludlow Street Jail
accompuuied him. Throwing off bis over
coat, he bowed to and shook hands with his
counsel. As he looked around ho saw a few
familiar. faces. The jury by which he had
been found guilty waa not present in a body,
but n number of jurymen occupied seats in
the room. The box, however, was not
empty. It watt occupied by court attaches,
budding limbs of the law and others, who
had dropped in to hear the little Napoleon
of Wall street sentenced. The court clerk
was promptly on hand with hia assistant.
The judge, however, was late, and did not
arrive until twenty minntes after the ap-
C tinted hour, when the machinery of the
w was set in motion. A persistent lawyer
arose and asked for a stay of proceedings in
a rape case. The judge tried in n gentle
way to persuade the lawyer to wait until
later before presenting arguments, bnt tbe
latter was earnest and bound to have his
own way. The court waa compelled to
listen then and there. The jndge granted
n stay of proceedings. When the matter
had been disposed of, the district attorney
arose and said:
Ferdinand Want, the prisoner at the bar, haa
been found guilty of the crime with which he waa
charged. Connect at the laat aMaion of thil court
gave notice that at thla time a motion for a new
trial would be made. I move that the motion be
made at thia time.
Gen. Tracy, of Ward’s counsel, arose nnd
in a low tone said: <

In behalf of the defendant at appears upon the

3. In refusing to charge the Jury several matters

4. In refusing to advise the Jury to acquit the de

5. In refusing to direct the Jury to acquit the de
fendant, and to which refusal the defeffifant duly
excepted to.
6. In refusing to direct the Jury to acquit the de
fendant on thegryund of variance between the
proof and indictment, to which exception waa duly
taken.
When General Tracy had finished and
taken his seat District Attorney Martino
made thin motion: “I move that Ferdi
nand Ward be now sentenced by the
court.”
Ward arose and stood in front of the bar
by the aide of hia counsel. His face was
pale bnt firm. He did not fiinch as Jndge
Barrett pronounced sentence, but stood
unmoved while the court poured upon his
head words of condemnation. The court
room was hushed and a most impressive
silence fell upon the several men who
watched the prisoner with feverish interest.
"You have been convicted by an intelligent'and
conscientious Jury of the crime of which you have
been charged,” began the Judge, directing his gaze
upon the prisoner, who stood before biin. "You
have certainly had a fair and Impartial trial. The
Jurors were most carefully selected and came on
tbe trial of your case with apparently unprejudiced
minds. Tue court guarded all your right* aud wrlv-
lieges from Infringement to the best of hia ability.
You were convicted because you had no defense.
You offered no defense to the facts. It is only a
matter of conjecture why so intelligent a Jury should
have .taken so long to decide upon your case. If
your case bad been that of a person wholly un
known. the Jury need not have left their seats. On
the contrary, your case had the benefit of a more
than careful consideration. You have been most
ably defended by your counsel and an
address as brilliant and scholarly as any
aver beard In this court room was
made iu your defense. You wers not convicted on
popular clamor. The Jury probebly delayed its
Judgment because they were afraid that in some
way they might be accused of being influenced by
popular clamor, which tended to make that convic
tion doubtful. I have nothing to say to you in the
way of a homily, because 1 think It would be wholly
useless. You have shown yourself wholly indiffer
ent throughout the trial of the chargee which have
been brought against you; seem to experience no
remorse whatever over the ruin and sorrow which
? ra have brought to hundreds in this country.

of 3Ym. 8. Warner, charged with conspiring
with Ward to defraud tbe Marine Bank,

sek. Counsel for tho defense continued
the cross-examination of Geo. E. Spencer,

ence. The witness continued: "I had gen
eral snpurvuion of theueraonnel of Grant A
Ward's ontatde office. I kept the
general check book, and freqnently
called off tbe entriea, bnt I hare no recol
lection of inch entries os those contracts
whatever. The entries os to contracts
mode were put down by me in good faith,
and I believed them to be ligittmate, par
ticularly the profits on flour.”
A great deal of time waa spent in argu
ment upon objection* by the defendant.
The defense asked that the case go on
promptly and continuously, and the exam
ination was set down for to-morrow.

Cardinal Manning on Free Edurntlon.
London, October 31.—Cardinal Manning
and fourteen Uritkh Catholic bkhopshave
issued a manifesto denouncing mixed edu
cation. It k imponsible, the manifesto
soya, for Catholic* to accept education
when it k divorced from religion. Free
educatiue is tuntamounl to a state monop
oly of education. Christianity will be im
periled unless the State subsidize* religions
rnd secular school* equally. The mani
festo k considered to mean that Catholic*
are advised to vote for Tory candidate*.

London, October 31.—The Home Rnlo'
party lias already held one-half of its
connty conventions in Ireland. In every
one of these Mr. Parnell's dominance waa
not even contested. The result of these
conventions has therefore been that thirty-
eight Paraellite candidates for Parliamen
tary scats have been nominated to receive
the Home Rule vote, nud in every caso the
nomination was made without n single
division. Twenty of these nominees are
now men, who have never been members
of the House of Commons. •
In England the Irish cause is beginning
to attract a great deal of respectful attention
from persons who not long ago utterly
ignored it na unworthy of consideration.
Prominent clubs in London have combined
to establish in the metropolis nn Irish cinb
on a basis equally respectable with that
enjoyed by tbe best of tbe other great polit
ical clubs. This enterprise has already
made considerable advance. Suitable prem
ises near the Parlkment Buildings ana the
business centre have already been secured,
but a great number of solid subscribers
must yet be obtained before the Irish club
can be assured of permanent success.
Lord Hartington, addressing s political
meeting thk evening, said heDelieved that
no section of the Iaberal party desired to
sever itself from the parent body. The
time mighty come when he would be com
pleted to leave, but be would no do so
adless some of the sections iusist upon
forcing proposals which tbe general sense
of the party was unprepared for.
ONEXE FINANCES.
The kingdom of Greece has been obliged
by recent events to carry economy to the
point of largely reducing the number of
offleink employed on the state's
stuff, nnd is now considering the expedi
ency of reducing all state salaries five per
cent, nnd of deducting the same amount
from all amounts due from the public treas
ury, the reduction to be maintained during
tbe mobilization of tbe army.
the balxan conference.
The prevailing opinion among Europetn
statesmen is that the conference of the
K wera convene at Constantinople at the
rte'a leanest to decide npon the best
mode of adjusting the Balkan trouble is
that the conference will end in a complete
failure. Thk is deemed inevitable because
of the nature of the division among the
parties to the conference. England, France
and Italjr will, it is thought, stand firmly
together in favor of standing by tho accom
plished fact of a ttnion of Bnlgariaand East
ern Roumclia under Prince Alexander, while
Russia, Germany ntnl Austria will insist
npon the restoration of the statu* quo ante.
When the Sultan first called the conference
the three empires loudly deckred their in
tention of insisting upon the restoration
of the status quo ante, but sinco England,
France and Italy have joined hands upon
the qneation tne empires have changed
their diplomatic utterance, and. now say
that they will inskt npon tho restoration of
the status quo ai/le as a preliminary basis for
argument. That k, they will not discuss
tlie question nt the conference unions the
condition exkting in the Balkan states just
previous to the recent union of Roumelk
with Bulgaria is first agreed to as a basis of
argument. Thk ntay be taken as a high-
sounding back down. It amounts simply to
this: Bosnia, Germany and Austria will
decline to discuss tbe situation npon the
only boskacceptable to England, France
jil Italy, while these three will not discuss
it on tho bask demanded hr the empire.
Hence, if the conference adjourns without
tn agreement the whole question will be
relegated to Turkey, which tried to escape
by throwing it upon the conference. Tur
key will not know which way to torn,
for if she trie* to depose Alexander and
dknnite Bulgaria and Roumelk, she will be
acting contrary to the deckred policy of
England and her two partners, wbue if she
allows the union to continne she will he
opposing tbe wishes of Itnaak and her sla
ter empires. If Turkey remains inactive, no
foresight can discern the importance of
the outcome of th* continuance
of Prince Alexander's ascendency. The
chance* are that Turkey, unless driven by
self-defense to fight the rebellious States,
will rouudn inactive, and allow the Balkan
mine to continue to be charged with politi-
dynatnite until the inevitable explosion
rends Europe.
Dkpatchea from Constantinople to-night
state most positively that Prime Hinkler
Snlkbury ha* explicitly instructed the Eng
lish representatives at the conference to
inskt, {or England, upon the continuance
of the onion of Bulgaria and
Boumelk tinder Prince Alexander.
The dkpatobe* also state tbat the
French delegate has received identical
instructions from hk government with
those sent to the English delegate on all
the main points of tbe controversy, and
that Bunak has ordered her delegate to op
pose Bulgarian onion and to inskt npon
the deiKwition of Prince Alexander.
The latest advice* from Con
stantinople aver that Turkey,
with the aid of German officers, k doing
her utmost to improve the condition of her
army, and that German officiak are advklng
the Sultan in hk civil affairs.
THE FANAMA CANAL.
From Park it k telegraphed to-night that
Mr. de Leaaeps has applied tg the
French government for permission to
issne new Panama Canal bonds to the
amount of <120,000,000, to defray what he
describes as needed expenses in excess of
tbe original estimate for tbe completion of
isthmus cnnnL
In hk application M. de Leesep* states if
the French Chamber of Deputies grants hk
present request, it will save <3,500,000 in
interest yearly, as the grant will include
permission to raise as much of the money
as possible by tbe sale of tickek for lottery
drawings.
FltOM HALT.
From Rome, it k stated that some of
the Genoa papers declare that with a view
of stimulating interest in the celebration of
its fourth centennial of tbe discovery of
America by Columbus, Chevalier Archibald
has pnblUted a secret he has kept for
twenty years—hk possession of the
identical chains with which Bobadilla
loaded the wrists of Colnmbtt*;when the lat
ter was sent back a prisoner to Spain in tho
year 1498. The Chevalier says he secured
these valuable relics after along and expen
sive journey, made in Spain and America,
for that purpose, and that he has kept tbe
story of hk discovery and possession of the
secret for twenty yean for private reasons,
which no longer are binding on him.
