The Presidents message urging a speedy re-
sumption of specie payments does not contain
his contemplated recommendation of the LIST
of March next as the day of resumption,
but leaves the date to the discretion of
Congress. He finds hope for the pro-
ject in the considerable balance of trade
in our favor, and in the increase in the pro-
ductlon of precious metals, which, he thinks,
should be "kcpt at home" by legislation, and
believes that the necessary reduction OF the
volume of lcgal-tender notes can be accom-
plished by the issue of fony-year four per cent
bonds to be exchanged for legal-tender notes
whenever presented in sums Of fifty dollars

The January reports of the savings banks
show that the distrust occasoned by the fail
ures of the past year or two has not yet worn
off, In many cases, and even in some cases
of banks whose somdneSs is far beyond qucS-
ton, the amount of money Withdrawn during
the past year considerably exceeds the amount
deposited. Part of this disparity may be due
to the fact that many of the working classes
have been without employment and have been
compelled to withdraw the whole or part OF
their savings, but it is undoubtedly mainly the
result of that sense of insecurity which makes
all banks pay dearly for the sins of some. AS
business revives, confidence and deposits will
come back together

The opinion that England is entitled to
industrial supremacy and can only lose
it through her own fault, is still enter
tanned at Sheffield. The manufacturers blame
each other for the loss of the American trade,
and sound the same alarm as was heard lately
among the watchmakers in Switzerland 1t idle
for the Sheffield cutters to engage in these
complaints. They might by greater tact have
retained firmer hold on the American mar
ket, but they could not long withstand the
irresistible expansion of our industries

to reminding the guaranteeing Powers that
Turkey is exceedingly refractory, and that
Russia is DESTROYS to act unitcdly with them
in settling the Eastern Question. lie
asks also the Russian Ministers to
learn what course the Powers intend to
pursue, the Porte having opposed their com
bined demand. This note cannot affect the
actual situation. Prince GOrtchak0f knows
very well that the Powers intend to do nothing
further and that Russia must continue to
lead in every serious project for bringing
Turkey to terms.

him the other day Oh Long Island. Indeed
the attempt to reach him at all seems to have
been begun only after due deiberation and
when rustic goodness of heart had been stimu-
lated by hope of reward. When the well fell
in, his employer, it is alleged, refused to
give anything to get him out, and his com

may be clue to the mysterious fate OF
Donaldson, the gymnast and aeronaut.
He writes to the Chicago lnter-Ocean
that while he was looking for trapping
grounds on the south branch OF the Big
Manistee river, soon after Donaldson
disappeared, he found piece of white
ash about five feet long with five canvas
ropes, and five feet OF line, and "some
other kind of goods made fast TO that"
Not far of was "a corpse, lying face
down, no coat or boots on" Near by
there was an envelope post-marEed De-
roit, Mich, and addressed to some one
in Chicago, and there were pencil figures
upon it showing the direction of the
wind. The trapper supposed at the time
that the man had been murdered by In
dams.

understand that arrangements are being
perfected by which board and lodging
can be secured at reduced rates during
the last week Of the institute. The at
tendance has been increasing daily and
the interest in the good work growing

possibly do so, attend during the last

each afternoon, and that those who
choose to do so need pay no registration
