Washington Special to Globe-Democrat OF
Yesterday
General Banks is quite surprised to learn
that he is a candidate for the next speaker.
He is in Washington attending to private
matters, and adds that he sees no conting-
ency in which he could be elected speaker.
He says he supports the Hayes policy, but he
believes the democrats will organize the
next house.
The secretary OF the treasury to-day said
that the gratifying financial outlook and the
encouraging signs OF reviving industry justi-
fed an emphasis Of the previous statement
funding of United States IS into AZ per
cents, and to substitute therefor per cents.
This, the secretary said, he was fully con-
WINGED he would be.able to do within three
months

The Southern Votes for Speaker.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Gazette
Yesterday1

Yesterday.
The members of the Louisiana commission
express the opinion that there will be no
southern democratic votes cast for a republic
can speaker. They expect general support
for the president from many democrats
for all measures related to his south
ern policy, but the organization of
the house is such machine of party
power as they do not feel at all disposed to
deprive themselves of. The opinion of the
members of the commission upon this ques-
ton is regarded here as of great significance,
as they have been so intimately associated
for several weeks with the very men whom
1t was thought would be the foremost to
give the president the support of their votes
il necessary.

passes through these and is deprived OF its
oxygen. The Gillette water is discharged from a
separate canal into which the waste matter OF
the oyster Is thrown. TO be carried of with the
stream that runs through 1t. The heart is sit
