WASHINGTON.
Tho Geneva Awards.

WASHINGTON, June ll.-No official in
formation has been received by this gov
eminent from that of Great Britain il
reference to the payment Of the Geneva
award, but limitations have been made
from ether sources that Great Britain il
making arrangements 10 meet the re-
quirements OF the treaty. II will be
recollected that the treaty OF Washing
ton provides that the gross sum awarded,
fifteen and half millions. shall be paid
in coin at Washington. As this amount
in gold would, according to weight, be
twenty.three tons. the question arises as
10 whether the coin itself or its repre-
sentation should be received in satisfac.
ton. A number Of American bankers
some time ago proposed to our govern
eminent to transact the business
in such manner, which would
satisfy the treaty. but as the government
had heard nothing whatever from Great
Britain on the subject, they we're in.
formed that their proposals could not
be entertained, and further that it was
the business Of Great Britain to take the
initiative on that question. There is no
doubt but the money will be deposited in
the Bank of England, and that the Uni
ted States will at the proper period be
paid, in accordance with the spirit of
the treaty. 1t may be done in this way,
viz: By the purchase in England,
through designated banking firms some
of them connected with the syndicate OF
the fve.twenty bonds, to the amount Of
the award, these to be sent to the United
States Treasury for redemption; the
gold thus accruing to be deliverable in
Washington, without the necessity and
risk of transportation across the ocean
to this city. The equal amount Of gold
in the Bank of England having been pre-.
viously used in the purchase Of bonds,
those who conduct the transaction, re-
ceiving gold certificates, could place
these in the hands of the Secretary of
State, and this would be equivalent to
the coin, for which they could i'm
mediately be exchanged. Such,
there seems to be no doubt, will be
the mode of payment. Several days
ago the Secretary of the Treasury gave
notice that the principal and interest Of
$40, 900, 900 of the fve-twenty bonds will
be paid at the Treasury after the 9Th of
September next. 1t is said in we'll in.
formed circles that this course was
adopted in view Of the arrangement for
the payment of the Geneva award in
the manner above stated and to render
easy the process of payment by the
British Government.

Some Of the New York papers and

sympathy for the youth named Frank
Walworth, who trapped and killed his
father the other day. The most Of the

stupendous crime and encourage other
hot-headed boys to kill their fathers on

ADDRESS
or the President of tho Masonic
Mutual Life Assurance AssOctR-
ton of Memphis, Tenn, TO the
Directory of the Association.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 7, 1879.
The past year having been one Of ex-
traordinary stringency in the financial
circles of the country, has tended to dis
turb the active movements of the Asso-
citation, and is the main cause Of our
failure to make that exhibit of progress
that friends of the Association would
desire. This torpor in the commercial
avenues has had its corresponding influ-
ence upon the assuring interest, of at
least our section, and has materially
checked, but, l am pleased to state, not
retarded the developments OF our Asso-
citation And it is now, after the past
trying year in the general interest of the
country, that can safely assure the pol
icy holders of the Masonic Mutual,
through your body, that the let
up" is taking place, and we are
now entering upon new year
of life in cur organization, preg-
nant with future OF marked success.
L. is an unquestioned fact that the only
true system of life assurance is that of
the mutual or cooperative, both Of
which are most happily embodied in
/
the Masonic Mutual, the tables
of this Association showing sta
tistical proof that the working
of our organization is not alone de-
voted to the direct wants of humanity,
but that figures prove a system of eco
nomeal working that utilizes assurance

IT has been decided in the higher
courts of New York that Stokes, the
murderer Of Jim Fisk, shall have new
trial. His counsel takes new hope, and
declares that facts will be brought forth
indicating him, and showing that the
prosecution was malicious and ground
less. Stokes may be cleared yet by the
peculiar efforts Of his lawyers and out
side friends who may have money enough
left to buy up some testimony, but the
public understands we'll enough that
these two bad men, both married, quar-
relied for the bought smiles of de-
PRAYED female, and that in the midst OF
lawsuit in which Fisk was about to
gain the advantage, Stokes got in his
way and shot him.

Monday the interments were as follows:
Whites, l3; colored, II; total, %. OF
this number all died OF cholera or chol-

that the disease is abating, but it is evil
dent that the people are fleeing the city
by hundreds and that business is about
suspended. Two Of the hotels, the Bat
