himself up in that scrape, as he is.

Regarding the wish of the banks to re-
call their order for retiring the circula-
ton, which order was given under the i'm
preston that the Funding bill would be-
come; a law, the opinion among treasury
officials generally is that the decision will
be against the banks. Once having given
their circulation there is no way to get it
back, except to go through the circrmlo-
cution of recognizing and applying as
new banks. This will occasion a great
deal of trouble and some expense.
Senator Sherman thinks the experience
of the banks in this particular will be
good for them, and that they will not
again go off balf-cocked.
American Litigation i'm Brazil.
CHICAGO, March 11.-An Inter-Ocean
New York special says According to adj
vices received in this city from Brazil. by
the steamer Rio de Janerio, the land litiga-
ton between the Brazilian government and
an American citizen, James Q. Jewett, Is
in course of settlement in favor of the lat
ter. Should the Government recognize
the rights of Jewett, who claims to have
discovered the 1900, 900 tom of valuable
phosphate deposits on the islands of Fer
nando Naronha, Pacas and Abrothos, off
the Brazilian coast, the freight which the
American vessels will earn in bringing the
article to this country would exceed S45,-
DOC, 600. This calculation is based on the
price OF S12 a ton, which was paid for a
shipment of phosphate in 1879 by a large
New Jersey firm.
