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 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,- 278, and the subemUry silver <10,198—s total of <3,305,476. The seignorage on tho coinage of silver from July 1, 1878, to June 30, 1885, amounted to <25,338,38'.'. ilie uamber of silver dollars dUtnbuted by the minU during the year wee 20,373,- 625; the number in drcuUtlon increased from <36,794,913 on July 1, 1884, to <45,- 273,71b on October 1,188«>.

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. General K M. B.

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. CHIEF OF AIDS BOA8SO SENTENCED yoarc m "way down South." 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. Death nt the King of Mam.

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: < The defendant Ferdinand Ward, movea thla court that Judgment in thla action be arrested. tint, on the gronnd that the facta atatad tn tbe accond count of the Indictment do not cnnatltnte a crime. Second, on the ground that the defendant, being a director of a national bank and tbe erldenco charges him with procuring tho welfare certification of ala own check by that national bank, thla court has not Jurisdiction of the aubject of Indictment The hill of exceptions upon which the defendant asks for a new trial Tends as fol lows: 1.

In refusing to charge the Jury several matters requested by the defendants, to which refusal ex ceptions were then aud there taken and noted. 4. In refusing to advise the Jury to acquit the de fendant, and to which refusal the defendant took exceptions. 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.

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.

The defendant appeared with a formidable array of cotra- sek. Counsel for tho defense continued the cross-examination of Geo. E.

A long list of contracts, amounting to nearly $5,i NXt,(«)0, were read over by counsel, but witness said ho did not know of their exist ence.

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.
