Proposed Action of the State Credit Demo-
crats-The Fifty Cent Compromise Likely
to be United Upon.
NASHVILLE, March 28.-At meeting of the
State credit Democrats yesterday and to-day
they unanimously adopted resolution that
they would wait the final action of the legis-
lature, and in the event it passed bill for the
ors would accept, deeming such acceptance
necessary to an adjustment, they pledged their
earnest efforts to have the same ratified by the
people, but If no final action was taken by the
legislature or such action as would not settle
the question, then they would favor
convention of the State credit
Democrats to take such action as might be
deemed necessary. A resolution was also
adopted adjourning the meeting to April 4th to
consider what further action might be taken
to effect final and honorable adjustment,
either in seconding the ratification of such leg
islation of the present session of the legisla-
ture as might be adopted if satisfactory, or if
no such legislation results from the de-
iberations of the present session then for the
purpose of otherwise aiding in effecting an ad-
justment.
The House this afternoon passed the Senate
bill to adjust the debt at SO cents and per
cent. interest, and made their action final by
tabling motion to reconsider. The Senate, it
is thought, will concur in the amendment rails
ing the amount from 40 to so cents, the only
proposition that can be carried before the peo-
pie; This is thought to be the highest figure
that can possibly be carried at the ballot box.
The bill proposes for the submission of the
compromise to vote of the people if approved
by the bondholders. The Governor will sign
the bill if finally passed.

That Rural Deputy Marshal.

That Rural Deputy Marshal.
The United States district attorneys door
was barren of placard yesterday. He re-
turned from the Winona trip. The results
attending the journey were announced yes
terday in the special telegram from Winona.
The full story is now told in the custom
house about Lords trouble and arrest.
He is resident police officer
in Rochester, and has occasionally
done service as Deputy United States Mar
shall, "hardly ever" though, with any de-
gree of continuity, as it were. Having done
this duty, however, he had impressed the
people in general with an idea of the ''civil
service rules" and they believed him an
officer. He visited store in Lewiston, saw
some empty cigar boxes without the stamps
being torn, threatened to report the
merchant, but finally compromised for SO.
This was the SUM of his offending. The
United States marshal here knew nothing of
the matter until the United States commits
sioner at Hinona made report to District
Attorney Billson. He, the district attorney,
then went down to Winona and attended to
the trouble. This is speaking by the card.

BUSINESS DEPREeSION.

LONDON, March 28.-In the house of lords
last night, Lord Huntley suggested that in
quiry be made into the depression of COM
MERGE and agriculture. Lord Beaconsfeld
acknowledged that the depression in the ag-
ricultural interest was unprecedented, but
the depression was anticipated when protec-
ton was abolished. It was estimated that
the public wealth had diminished ESQ.,
100000, and the area of land under
cultivation had diminished 100000
acres. English industry and commerce
however, kept we'll on the level with those of
foreign countries. They suffered only from
low prices, the cause of which was partly
the depreciation of silver. Lord Beacons-
field believed the inquiry suggested would be
without results, but possibly an inquiry as
to the change in value of precious metals
and it's effect on English industry might
hereafter be desirable.
