THE NEWS SUMMARIZED.
Fate q : ballot Box stunsr.

The supreme court, in session at Ottawa,
ILL.,, affirmed the decision Of the lower
courts in the case of Joseph C. Mackin for
perjury. At the last senatorial election Of
Illinois, it was discovered that large
number OF spurious ballots had been
printed and cast in favor OF Rudolph
Brand, for state senator. In the investi-
cation which followed, sufficient evidence
was produced to convict Mackin OF the
crime, and he was sentenced by Judge
Blodgett to two years in the penit entiary
and the payment of a fine of IS, 900.
Mackin's attorney at once carried the case
to the supreme court of the United States,
before which it now is. Following his con-
viction in the United States court for tam
pering with ballots, Mackin was indicted
by the state grand jury for perjury in
swearing he had not ordered or received
the spurious ballots. OF this crime he was
convicted as above stated, and will now
pay the penalty.

The Barker estate valuedat $50
100000, is the latest in England that
awaits American heirs if they can be
found. This report has put all the
Barker's in American state of ex:
pectancy. They, and all others If
this country, ought to know that
there are no such estates in England,
and no such amounts in the bank O.
England, as frequently reported, that
are likely to reach American heirs.
James Russell Lowell, the late minis
ter t. England, and also Mr.. Phelps
the present minister, made diligent
inquiries, and stated over their own
signature, on the best authority, that
such reports are without the slightest
foundation in fact.

The Government Secret Service.


The chief OF the secret service division, in
his annual report to the solicitor OF the
treasury, shows:
During the last fiscal year 444 arrests
were made by the operatives OF the service,
assisted by local officers, large majority
OF which were for passing, dealing in or
manufacturing counterfeit money. The
amount OF counterfeit money captured dur
ing the year was $685. $50, mainly in flash
notes. A large amount OF plates, dies,
molds and counterfeiting material was
seized and destroyed. The chief of the
division expresses the opinion that there
are now in the hands ofcounterfeiters about
500, 900 in base money, OF the following
character: Twenty -dollar silver certificates,
$40 United States notes, $40 note OF the
Third National Bank of Cincinnati, and So
United States notes. The counterfeiting of
coin is on the increase, which in the case of
the five-cent nickel is due to the disparity
between its face and intrinsic value. The
report speaks OF the good results OF the law
for the punishment OF persons who counter
felt foreign money and securities While
countcrfeiters ofpaper money have been un-
usually active during the past year, they
have been generally unsuccessful in their
efforts to float the result OF their work A
recommendation is made for legislation
prohibiting the making of dies and moulds
for making facsimiles for business purposes
OF Unitsd States coins, and another for
legislation to extend the powers OF the
service so as to include Classes OF fraud
against the government.

The faith OF the French capitalists
in M. Lesseps and his canal borders

M. Lesseps announces with the ut

eminent will assent to a lottery-loan
to cover 100000 of debentures,
and reafirms that the canal will GER
