Comm odere shufeldfs Cruise.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Commodore Shu-
feldIs resignation as chief of the navy bu.
reau Of equipment and recruiting takes effect
on the 20Gh inst Capt English succeeds him.
The comG odore will join the Ticonderoga about
the first of December at Norfolk and proceed
FIST to Sierra Leone by the way Of the Canary
and Madeira Islands, thence to other portions
of Africa, and perhaps Asia. The object of
his cruise is The promotion of commerce and
American Influence in unfrequented ports of
the world where this COVER nment is not repre-
sented.
Moonshiners Captured.
A telegram received by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue today brings the news that
special agent Wagner and force of sixteen
deputies under his direction, met wi tn great
success in their operations in the mountain re-
gion of the Nashville, Tenn, district. They
captured Ia prisoners.
The Tobacco Tax.
Commissioner Raum, in his forthcoming an
nual report, will oppose the proposed reduction
of the tax on bicco from "a to IS cents per
pound for two reasons: first, because in the
present low state of the revenues from this
source money caunot bs spared, and secondly,
because be considers 1t as emloently unwse
and inexpedieDt 10 uDsettle business interests
by any Congressional agitation of the question
Cabinet Meeting.
All the members Of the cabinet were present
at the meeting today. Several important sub
jects, to be included 10 tue Presidents message,
were discussed. An interchange of opinion
occurred concerning the alleged violation Of
the election laws, especially in Lpulsians, dur
ing the recent eleouous, the U. S. Attorney
for that state having furnished list of cases
showing personal violence, intimidation, etc.
The sentiment of the cabinet was that such
violations of the law should be examined, with
view to the punishment of the guilty parties.
The One and Two Dollar Notes.
Secretary Sherman. ia referring to the ru-
mored withdrawal of the one and two dollar
United States Dotes, says that fully year ago
the story was started in some paper and caused
an unnatural demand for small bills. The
story was unfounoed other than having one
years supply of ones and twos on hand the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing stopped
printing any more till that supply could be re-
duced. No orc er was issued to the Treasurer
to limit the issue of the twos and they were is
sued to every body who demanded them. After
the 1st of January no bills of less denomina-
ton than SIS Can be issued by National .nks,
aud no doubt if the one and two dollar United
States notes were withdrawn it would make
place for more silver. The Secretary thinks,
however, that the public at large ought to have
the option to take gold, silver or paper, of any
denomination, coined or printed.

THE FISHERY DISPUTE,
A Satisfactory Note from Lord Salisbury.

A Satisfactory Note from Lord Salisbury.
NEW YORK. Nov. ia Washington spec
ial says SalsDury's reply to the dispatches of
Evsrts toucbiog the Halifax award and the
Newfoundland fishery question was received
this morning at the state department., having
been telegraphed from London. While moth
ing definite was learned AZ the state depart
ment as to the tenor of Salisbury's dispatch, it
is believed that that portion which refers to the
interference with American fishermen in an
uary last by the authorities is satisfac DRY to
this government, and that the imperial govern
ment will in good faith carry out the Treaty of
Washing ton, and extend to American fisher
men the rights and privileges accorded by the
treaty.
Evarts is prevented by diplomatic usage
from saying anything as to the contents of
Salishury's despatch, but as there will bs no
improperly in the British government making
Its contents known after it has been formally
delivered to this government, it is probable
Salleburys communication will be published
in London in few days Members of the d.
plomatic corps express the belief that the full
amount awarded by the Halifax commission
will be paid in London on November 23d, the
the day specified for payment to bs made. The
statement recently published that S., 500, 900 is
now in London in readiness to bs handed over
to tue British government, ia believed to be err
roneous The money in question is not to bs
drawn from the treasury and so far as the &C
counting officers of the treasury are informed
no transfer of money from Washington to LoL-
don for this purpose has been made.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12
1t is believed here that Lord Salisbury in his
reply to Secretary Evarts is as earnest in his
position that the Canadian fishery award was
made in accordance with the Treaty Of Wash
ington as Mr.. Evarts is in maintaining an Oh.
posite view. The correspondence is not likely
to be concluded by the 23i inst, when the
award is due and when it will probably be paid

SPECIE RESUMPTION.
Conference Between Bankers and
Secretary Sherman.
Preparations for Resumption.

New YORK. Nov. 12-One account of the
meeting of bankers with Secretary
Sherman states that the Secretary
and the banks reached common
ground of agreement. The Secretary was asked
by the banks on his part to limit the coinage Of
silver dollars to the minimum rate of $4,000, 900
a month, prescribed by law, and to withdraw
the one and two dollar legal tenders and substi-
tute silver dollars in circulation for these small
notes. 1t will be remembered that the issue of
notes under S. is for hidden to National Banks
after next New Year. The Clearing House has
decided upon the following plan of action after
January 1st, 1879:
Flrst-To decline receiving gold coin as spec
ial deposits, but accept and treat them only as
lawful money.
Second-To abolish special exchanges of
gold checks at the Clearing House.
Third-To pay and receive balances between
banks at the Clearing House either in gold or
in United States legal tenders.
Fourth-To receive silver dollars upon de-
post only under special contract to Withdraw
the same 10 kind
Fifth-To prohibit payments of balances at
the clearing house in silver certificates or in
silver dollars, exceptings subsidiary coin in
small sums, (say under ten doilars.)
S,xth-TO discontinue gold special account
by notice to dealers on the LIST of January next,
to terminate then.
It is believed in Treasury circles, that this
agreement q common policy will have an
important effect upon resumption, and that, In
fact, with the help of the banks in the manner
proposed the country will find itself after the
LIST Of January on q gold basis and with fixed,
stable currency, without the least shock.

A Trick of the Trade-The santa Cruz
Rebellion Over--san Domingo and Hayti

A Trick of the Trade-The santa Cruz
Rebellion Over--san Domingo and Hayti
Quiet,
HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE French mail steam
or from st. Thomas has arrived. The proc
lamation of the quarantine at Porto Rico
against st. Thomas until the 10th, created
much indignation and protests were made by
the foreign consuls. There was no fever at st.
Thomas and the quarantine is said to have been
obtained by the intrigue of one house in st.
Thomas having q branch at Porto Rico to pre-
vent other purchasers coming to ST. Thomas
and obliging them to purchase at the branch
house in Porto Rico, which is the chief market
by the quarantine.
The rebellion in Santa Cruz is over bat the
future of the island is doubtful, Business is at
the lowest extreme. The Danish government
has contributed $4,000 crowns by telegraph.
Santo Domingo is reported quiet The revo-
lutiOu in the provinces of Aqua is reported as
subdued. The latest accounts, however, show that
the port of Aqua is still blockaded. The Presi-
Dental election is near at hand and the election
of Guillermore is considered certain. The next
coffee crop promises to be unusually abundant.
Two American vessels are unloading provis-
ions, which are easily placed owing to scarcity.
Hayti was quiet. The executive desired an
amendment to the article of the constitution
which excludes whites from the enjoyment of
the same rights as colored persons. The ex-
ecutive seemed determined on this point, being
convinced that the measure would be for the
benefit of the country, although his own over
throw is threatened if the amendment is snb-
mitted to the chambers
The coffee crop is expected to be one-third
short, owing to the last hurricane. Nine Amer
lean vessels are unloading provisions in differ
ent ports of the republic. The Demerara plant
ers were a5xiously awaiting the results of the
trials in Baltimore to determine the question
whether rich dark sugars are admissible under
the United States customs regulations at low
rates. If che decision was favorable the es-
tates would forthwith recommence making
dark sugars. If adverse the crop would be
shipped to England. The total shipments this
year from Demerarga were $500 hhds. of
sugar and $4,000 casks of molasses.
A project is on foot to connect Cape San
Antonio, Cuba end Guatemala by submarine

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 10.

Kearney would have them, but, on the con-
trary, some of them are coming to the front in
manner to put the illiterate sand-ot orator to
shame. One of them, Wsh Kee by name, has
just been elected an insurapce broker by the
San Francisco board Of underwriters, whose
license is required before company can pay
commissions to the broker AT the same cleo
ton several white men were rejected.
Only one of the Memphis teegraphers was
able to hold his ground from the first to the
last during the plague. This man was Pat
nam, and many long night while the fever
was raging he was the only man in the oper-
sting room. The manager, the operators and
the clerks went down one after another until
he was the only man left to cope with the enor-
NOUS press of business. Out of twenty-five
telegraphers employed in the service in Mem
phis eleven died, nine recovered and five es-
capped.
Col. Thomas A. Scott, the railroad king now
on his way to Europe, is accompanied by a
Young man named Augustus Dowdell, who
gained the Colonel's especial favor through his
heroic fidelity to his interests during the Pitts
burg riot. When all the other employees de-
serted their posts Dowdell took charge of the
only telegraph line which remained uninjured,
and opened direct communication with Col.
Scott, kept him apprlsed Of the real condition
of affairs there, and received orders and direct
ed what few faithful men remained as to how
to save the company's property. He only de-
serted his post when the telegraph station in
which he was engaged caught fire, and he was
n L
turned from Pinsbarg, Dowdell was given a
position in the ofics of General Manager
Frank Thompson, and when Col. SCOTT looked
down the long lisu of his employees for suit
able young man to accompany him on his tour,
the selection naturally fell on this faithful
young employe.

A GREAT LAND CASE.

The Tile 10 Lands in San Francisco
Valued at Over 100000, 900 Upheld
by the Commissioner of the Land
Office.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Commissioner
of the General Land Office today decided a
case in which the title to property valued at
over 800, 000,0 900 was involved. The property
in dispute is in the city of San Francisco, and
is over four leagues in extent. The coutrover-
sy is an old one, and arose out of disputes as to
a survey made subsequent to the conquest of
California in 1916 1t was manifest that in
the original survey and grant by which the
State Of California had title there was an i'm
portant error. The City Of San Francisco, and
private individuals interested, insisted that
this error should be corrected, and that it'll
should pass in accordance with a later survey,
which would iDure to the benefit of the CITY
and to the Injury of thu State, as the original
granter. Such a correction would have re-
suited in the practical confscation of vast
estates, the lands upon which stand the Bank
Of California and the Palace Hotel being among
them, The Commissioner has decided t hat,
by reason of the acquescence of the City Of
San FRANCISCO in the original title, aod for
other technical reasons, which are cited, the
city is barred from any attemp5tO invalidate
the ancient title, and that the original survey
must stand. This decision defeats those who,
for speculation or other causes have attem pied
to cloud the title to the valuable la nds in
question.
