THE NATIONAL BANKS.
They Are in a Bad Fix-The Coinage OF
standard Dollars.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-The annual
report OF the Comptroller OF the Currency,
which was made public to-day. shows that
the total number of National Banks in ex-
istence is 2,727, the largest number ever be
fore in operation. The Comptroller be-
lieves that the contraction OF the National
Bank circulation will continue unless some
legislation is had which will increase the
profits the National Banks derive from the
issue of circulating notes. He proposes
that the tax on the circulation be removed,
and the amount of the circulation which
the NATIONAL Banks are permitted to issue
be Increased to the par value OF the bonds
deposited by them. The report refers to
the TACT that although there has been a con-
traction in National Bank notes the circu-
lating medium OF the country has been in
creased by silver dollars and silver certiti-
Gates. The Comptroller says the continued
coinage of standard silver dollars under the
present provisions of the law is in excess OF
the requirements of the country, and is
liable to bring business to a silver oasis and
cause some degree OF financial disturbance

SERVIA AND
The Latter Gaining More Victories King
Milan's Army.

BELGRADE, November 27.-The Bulgari.
ans yesterday vigorously attacked the
Servians at Prot and captured the city
after being twice repulsed. The Ministers
have started to join King Milan at Nissa.
Large bodies of Servian troops are hasten
ing to the front.
MILAN'S MOVEMENTS.
King Milan has Joined the army near
Prot, where he will soon take command of
a force of 5000 men. General Topolo-
witch has refused to propose an armistice
to Prince Alexander.
THE MEET.
VIENNA, November 27.-It is rumored
here that King Milan, OF Servia, has secret
ly visited the Emperor of Austria for the
purpose of securing assistance.
BoMBARDlNG wIDD1N.
BELGRADE, November 27.-GeneraI Lesh-
ianin, of the Servian army, telegraphs that
he is bombarding Widdin, and expects the
surrender of the city to-day.
sERvIA's SITUATION.
No dynastic changes in Servia are en-
pected. Austrian influence in Servia is
waning, because Russia initiated the move
ment for an armstice, and the latter Power
has grown accordingly in the esteem of
Servia. A change OF the Ministry, which
may occur on account of this transition of
feeling, will not affect the fidelity of the
King to Austria.
LONDON, November 27.-The statement
that the Bulgarians captured Prot yester-
day after being twice repulsed, is incorrect.
1t appears that after the Bulgarian army
made an attack on Prot a long struggle
ensued, during which the Servian artillery
rendered excellent service, and maintained
such effective fire hat the Bulgarians were
repulsed. The losses of the Bulgarians are
reported to have been very heavy.
A%UsTRIA's ATTITUDE.
VIENNA, November 27.-It is reported
that the Austrian Minister at Belgrade, who
was instructed to visit Prince Alexander,
OF Bulgaria, bears an ultimatum in the
name of Francis Joseph, to be delivered if
Prince Alexander refuses the truce.
The Bulgarians nave driven the Servians
pack to Nissa. 1t is reported that Prince
Alexander has fixed his camp at Prot.

It is stated that Prince Alexander is
to grant an armistice if Servia with

GOING TO

The question OF attending the mineral OF
| Vice-President Hendricks was considered,
and two or three of the members of the
| Cabinet said it would be almost impossible
for them to leave the city just now,
without neglecting many matters which
it is important should be settled
before the meeting OF Congress. The
President expressed his determination
!r.ii.nd the funeral. His message was al
most ready and could easily be finished on
his return from indianapolis. The Post
master General and Secretaries OF War and
Navy said their reports were ready, and
thought they would be able to accompany
the President. The Secretary of State also
thought he could arrange to go with the
party. The other members, however. said
the affairs OF their departments would pre-
vent their leaving the city. 1t was finally
decided to leave the matter with each men,
Der, with the general understanding that
all who consistently could go would do so.
The party will probably leave here on
Monday morning. The details of the trip
have been placed in the hands OF Colonel
Lamont, and have not yet been COM
pleted.
POsTMAsTERS.
The Postmaster General appointed in
Oregon fourth class pOstmasters as follows:

THE TELEPHONE ASSES
Applications have been received at the
Interior Department from the Globe and
Bell Telephone Companies, asking for an
extension OF the time during which the

An extension Of two or three days will be
granted by the Secretary OF the Interior.

A LABOR RIOT.
Trouble In the Pennsylvania Coal Mines
The Strikers Hold the Fort.

P%ITTsBURG, November 27.-It is just an
nounced here that a ri It at Fourthpool be
tween the strikers and %nOn-uniOn coal
miners took place this morning. Two hum
dred strikers are in possession of the mines.
A number of the men were injured. The
police were compelled to retreat. Both
sides have sent for reinforcements.
THE DETAILS.
PlTrsBuRG, November 27.-The trouble
which was anticipated in these dispatches
last night took place this morning at Jor-
dan S. Neil's coal mine in Fourthpool. The
strikers who arrived at the pool last night
on the steamer, stationed themselves about
200 strong neal the mines this morning,
and as the workmen appeared they arose
in a body and demanded that the workmen
should return to their homes at once.
Those who refused to obey were roughly
treated. Neil had 100 men at work last
night. When they attempted to return to
work they were driven back with sticks
and stones. Quite a number of men were
badly hurt, but none fatally. Robert Nc
Cune, Of the iron and coal police, with six
special officers, was on hand and made an
effort to check the strikers, but fearing to
precipitate a fatal riot by
USING THEIR REvOLvERS,
they retreated to await achievements. The
| strikers are now in possession of the mines
| and have sent for more OF their number to
! be on hand this evening. Sheriff Chambers,
| of Washington county, has also been tele-
graphed for by officials. A meeting between
| the reinforced sides is awaited with much
anxiety. The people in the region about
| the mines are terribly excited.

TWO DISASTERS.
A British Steamer L0st-A Capsized
Vessel Picked Up.

LONDON, November 27.-The British
steamer Aurora" while leaving Hartle-
pool for Savannah, yesterday, struck a
rock in the harbor. Subsequently she
proceeded, but foundered within two hours.
The crew left the vessel in three boats. The
first boat, with nine men, landed safely, the
second reached shore with only six. three
others having been drowned; the third ar
rived, in safety, with twelve men.
A CAPsIzED VESSEL.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 27.-To-day
while the tug James A. Madens was ten
miles of Cleveland, on Lake Erie. Captain
Thomas Dryer observed a capsized vessel,
which proved to be the thrce-masted
schooner Highland Maid" of Port Stan

and the masts and rudder were gone and
the cabin had been washed away. 1t is

ROME, November 27.-The signature Of
the Caroline protocol by the Spanish Am
bassador and Prussian Minister to the
Vatican is imminent. Spain has conceded
the same advantage to England that she
has given Germany, in return for which
England is to recognize SPANS sovereignty
over the Caroline and Pelew islands.
