Of the covenant had been met, and his
presence was requested in New
York. A communication was subse-
quently sent to Bishop Riley by
Bishop Lee, in which he stated that it ap-
peared to the commission that there had
been an apparent want of open dealing
with regard to the liturgy, and that, ac-
tually. its completion was being hindered
There had been, also, an apparent mis-
appropriation of the funds, and several
congregations in Mexico have never re-
ceived an Episcopal visitation. No an
swer was received to this communica-
tiOn. a telegram was subsequently, sent,
requesting the presence of Bishop Riley
in this city on the 18th inst. On the 10th
an answer was received that Bishop Riley
could not leave his work on such short
notice. At the meeting of the Mexican
Commission it was concluded that the
work could not be carried on under Bishop
Riley, and on the 18th instant he was re-
quested to resign the work. An answer
has since been received which seemed to
imply that BithOp Riley had resigned.
The report stated that the mission had for
years been supported in a great measure
from the Bishops own funds. There was no
question with the commission as to the
duty of continuing the reform movement
in Mexico, but the commission was not
be. A communication from the House of
Bishops was read stating that by unani-
nous vote they had approved of the ac-
tion! of the commission in requesting the
resignation of the Bishop of the Valley of
Mexico, and also recommending that the
mission work in Mexico be carried on.
After long discussion, and the rejec-
tiOn OF many amendments to the report
on the Mexican mission, motion to lay
the whole matter on the table finally pre-
vailed by 154 yeas to 80 nays.
The Board of Missions then adjourned,
and the House of Deputies went into

Der Of Deputies met to-day. In the Cham
Der of Deputies NJ. Tirard, Minister of
Finance, introduced his draft of the
budget, although it had been rejected by
the Budget Committee of the Chamber
Both houses adjourned after a short ses-
sion.
The tone in which affairs were dis
cussed in the lObbies of the Chamber of
Deputies to-day tended to show that the
desire prevailed to avoid a Cabinet crisis.
At meeting of the Budget Committee NJ.
Tirard positively declared that he would
never agree to reduction of the sum set
apart yearly. for the redemption of the
national debt. NJ. ROuyier, who was
elected reporter of the committee. then
urged the eXpediency of the proposed re-
duction in order to obtain the balance of
the budget. The reduction was agreed to
by vote of l6 to 10. At meeting of the
Royalty Deputies, with the Due de Bissa-
cia presiding, it was unanimously agreed
to remain steadfastly united, and to issue
an appeal to the adherents of the party
to remain devoted to their cause.

BUSINESS COMPLICATIONS.
The Secretary of the Republic Iron Co.
COnfesses Judgment for $4,000.

The Secretary of the Republic Iron Co.
COnfesses Judgment for $4,000.
CLEVELAND, oct. 23.-To-day's sensa-
ton in business circles is the failure of
John n. Glidden, Secretary of the Repub-
lie Iron Company. Late yesterday the
company filed a claim against him for
upward Of $4,000, on which he confessed
judgment. AS security the company
holds his stock, the market value of which
is about $25O,O00, but it is understood
that considerable of this is pledged for
other debts, and questions of priority
of claim are likely to arise. Mr..
Glidden says that his failure is solely
attributed to the snrinkage of values in
the legitimate iron business. His indebt-
ness to the company is for ore purchased
for his own account and sold to other par
ties, and for transportation. He says
that in year and half lie has lost over
S3O0,O00 from this cause. He will call d
meeting of his creditors and ask an extern
tion Of time. Mr.. Glidden's embarrass-
ment will not affect the Republic Iron
Company, the capital stock of which is
about $4,000 600. The company owns
valuable mining property. Nor will the
failure affect the firm of Glidden & Man
ming, which does a strictly commission
business and has no debts.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %. - William
Young, President of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank of Reading, Pa, confessed
judgment to-day in favor of the bank for
$72,3j7 y. Mr.. Young says that he has
borrowed money from the bank for some
time, and that when his notes became due
he was unable to meet them. He said
that nearly every investment and specu-
latiOn that he has made during the past
six months has proved loss. His princi-
pal losses have been in stocks and the pa
per of commercial houses. His son is
cashier of the bank and when interviewed
said that the bank had been somewhat in
difficulty until this relief came. The
President refused to state what his per-
sOnal Indebtedness was, and his affairs
are now being settled m

In his interview with representative

of his trip through Dakota, Montana.
Oregon and Washington Territory, which
he thought i'll the very near future were
going to be magnificent States, Mr..
Beecher said:

alkall desert to Utah. In Utah l made
the acquaintance of number of gentle
men who had formerly been connected
with the church there, and | procured
some documents of Importance from them
which Will enable me to make study
OF the Mormon question. The conviction
on every side was that the Edmunds
bill would be total failure, and the de-
sire OF the Gentle population there is
that the place shall be governed by COM
mission appointed by Congress similar to
the method of government in the District
of Columbia. Something has certainly
got 10 be done toward hedging in, for the
Mormon increase is very rapid. The

CATION is possible, They are bringing out

captl0us his water can be shut off, and he
is done fOr.''

SENATOR SHARON VS.. MISS HILL.
The Charge Preferred by the Woman
who Claims to be His Wife Dismissed,

Inc OhafSe Preferred by the Woman
who Claims to be His Wife Dismissed.
San Francisco Special, e0th.
The charge of adultery against Senator
Sharon, preferred by Miss Aggie Hill,
claiming TO be his wife, came up for hear
ing. before Judge Lawler thismorning. An
immense crowd had assembled at the
doors OF the Police Court, and long before
the proceedings began the room was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Senator
Sharon. accompanied by counsel, General
Barnes, was present. William Nelson,
the complaining witness on behalf of Miss
Hill, was assisted by G.. w. Tyler Miss
Hill was not present. The examination
occupied the entire morning.
Prior to the consideration of the case at
issue, Nelson made a statement that the
witnesses had been intimidated, that the
police had failed to serve subpmnas. and
that, consequently, he was unable to pro-
duce them.
General Barnes objected to such an as
sertlon, saying that it would be sufficient
for Nelson to cite the instances referred
to, enter complaints, and the law would
know how to deal with them.
by permission of the Court, Nelson was
allowed to continue his statements.
which were partly of his own knowledge
and partly from information. He then said
that he had been offered money to stay
the proceedings, and that when he re-
fused he was inundated: that Miss
Dletz, with whom the alleged adultery
took place, could not be found, and that
the father of Miss Bracket, confidential
companion of Miss Hill, had suddenly
acquired wealth.
Witnesses for the defense denied Mel
sons statements, after which the case
was called charging Sharon with felony.
The prosecuting attorney Immediately
arose, and said that it was impossible to
continue the prosecution, as the statute
governing the case had been repealed, and
no longer existed.
General Barnes agreed to set aside all
technicalities and allow the case to 90 on,
as they wanted the opportunity of 0blig-
ing the prosecution to produce the alleged
marriage contract under which the COM
plalnt had been sworn out The docu-
ment was not produced, nor was the eX-
istence of 1t admitted. General Barnes
strongly denounced the whole business as
VillaInouS scheme, the csntract as a
fraud and forgery from top to bottom, and
the complaint as an outrage o. public
justice, chiefly so on the defendant, who
was dragged into court on a sworn charge
OF felony, and when the case was called
the prosecution abandoned it.
Mr.. Tyler said he was not aware when
the complaint was made out that the
statute had been repealed. The Judge said
that such was the fact, and ordered the
case dismissed.
The fact that the prosecution was un-
able or unwilling to produce the alleged
marriage contract seems to confirm in
the public mind the original suspicion
that the case was started to eXtOrt money
from Sharon.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
The Money Received in the Treasury
Under the New Rules of Revenue Tax

The Money Received in the Treasury
Under the New Rules of Revenue Tax
alton.
Washington Special to PAjlaieipEit Press, efst.
Treasury officials are surprised at the
way money is pouring in this month.
Thus far the receipts have been over a
million a day. The exact figures for the
first eighteen days of the month are 500
050. .364, as against SlS,S54 094 for the first
eighteen days of October last year. The
most surprising feature of the returns is
that the internal revenue receipts are u
little larger this month than they were
during the corresponding period of last
year.
This is. Of course, abnormal, and will
not continue long. The customs receipts
for the first eighteen days of the month
are only 100000 less than during the same
period of last year. Some of the Treasury
officers who are watching the current Of
revenue carefully are coming to the con-
clusion that the new tariff law will not
effect the large reduction in receipts
promised by its friends last winter.
Nearly four months of the fiscal year
have passed, and the customs receipts
are only S7,000,000 less than they were
during the corresponding period Of last
year. Treasury officers doubt whether
even this rate of reduction will be kept
up during the year.
