BANK-EXPERT JORDAN, whom Secre-
tary Manning has employed to look
over the Treasury accounts, is said to
have discovered two important points.
First, that the S3O,00O,OO of subsidiary
coin in the Treasury can not be properly
counted as an asset, and that no bond
call should be based upon this amount
as part of the reserve; and second, that
there has been an Overissue of gold
certificates to the amount of $4,000
000, and this amount ought to be de-
Quoted from the gold reserve in the
Treasury in estimating the actual
amount of gold in the possession of
the Government.

One reason why the food supplies of
the British metropolis are obtained so
largely from the continent or from this
country is that local freights in Great
Britain are high. At meeting of the
East Kent Chamber of Agriculture
statements were made which evoked
bitter comments upon the policy of
English railways. A ton of cheese was
transported from the United States to
London for twenty-five shillings, while
5 ton of cheese from Chester to London
costs forty-twO shillings six pence. Po-
tatoes from France were transported
TO London for thirty shillings per ton,
while from Penzance, England, the
charge was forty-five shillings. Hops
were transported from Flushing, Hol-
land, to London, for twenty shillings,
but from Faversham the charge was
fhirty-three shillings. There is loud
outcry in Great Britain for large re-
duction in local railroad tolls, the pres
ent charges being considered extor-
tionate and injurious

Wrerkinr the Wabash.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-Specisl Master E.
T. Allen heard testimony to-day in the in
tervening petition of the St Louis & St.
Joseph Railroad Company in the Wabash
case The object of the petition is to Sc
cure an order on the receivers of the Wa
bash to compel them to pay the rental of
the ST. Joseph branch. Mr.. Chew a PROM
inent merchant of the Wabash, created some
amusement in the matter by stating, while
giving his testimony, that the general i'm
preston in and about St Joseph in railroad
circles was that the directors and managers
of the Wabash wanted to let the road run
down for awhile, so they could get the
stock cheap, as it was trife high for them
at present.

ported to have earned large fees in his

figure. He always dresses in black,
and has great dignity of manner.
Mrs. Phelps is very handsome woman,
= little above medium height. She is
quite fond of society, and has small
fortune of about $4,000. which was
paid to her by one of her husband S
clients, who knew Mr.. Phelps faculty

Phelps consent, paid the money over

present in mourning for an only son.
