Counting the Documents.

WASHINGTON. Aug. IA count Of the
public documents stored at the capitol and
the rented building used as the document
room of the house of representatives has
just been completed. 1t was found that
there are about seven hundred thousand
public documents stored there, some of which
have been there for thirty years without
being touched. But few members sent
away the proceedings of the Forty-second
congress, which is the one that passed
the back-pay bill, and over which
there was such universal
condemnation. They preferred that their
constituents should be kept in the dark. as
much as possible, in regard to their
votes on that bill. 1t appears,
also, that there has not been
such general demand for the agricultural
report as some persons believe for some
years: AS many as 200 have
been left undistribtued. Sixty thou
sand copies of a report made
by Senator Blair's committee ON capital
and labor have recently been received by
the document room and will soon be dis
tributed. This is outside of the number
that will be distributed by the
senate. The document consists entirely of
testimony taken by Senator Blairs COM
mittee in their tour throughout the country
during the strike of the telegraphers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The circular is
sued by the committee of the clearing house

as far as they are able. the
fractional silver coin. ''of which there are
now lying in the treasury some $50. OOO,-

to relieve the government in its present
eXigency for gold, has been responded
to from nearly every state in the Union.
Pennsylvania. Delaware, South Carolina
and Maryland. Many of the applications
are from savings banks, and are frequently
accompanied by a request for information as
TO the cost of shipment of the silver from
this city. This Is particularly the case
with Western and Southern banks. For their
information, United States Treasurer Jor-
dan caused this circular to be printed:
The assistant treasurer of the
United States at New York will re-
ceive deposits for fractional silver coin,
and will forward the coin himself if
the place of destination is near to his office,
and he will forward his certificate, issued
for the deposit, to the sub-treasury nearest
TO the destination of the coin, for
shipment free of expense to the con-
signees." This regulation applies when the
sums are $500 and over" Many instances
have occurred where Southern and West
ern banks have sent checks for fractional
silver direct to the manager of the
clearing house. They have been
turned over to the sub-treasury to act on.
To avoid further misunderstanding on the
point the clearing house to-day issued this:
The clearing house does not distribute
fractional currency. The drafts should be
sent to the assistant treasurer at New
York"

REGINA.N.W. T., Aug. Judge Rich
ardson resumed his charge this morning,
,ontining himself entirely to reading eX-
tracts from the evidence lie finished read
ing the evidence before / O'Clock. when the
court adjourned for lunch. After lunch
the Judge completed his charge. lie re-
viewed the law upon which the court was
established and the trial conducted. Inc
charge was concluded 1T 2:15 and the jury
retired. The oath was administered TO the
guard to keep the jury without meat OF
drink fire or lodging. At 3:15 there was
murnur in the court, and it was whispered
that the Jury had agreed. All was hustle
and excitement. Riel prayed fervently,
kneeling in his box and looked unmoVed as
the jury entered with verdict OF guilty,
after being absent about thirty minutes.
Francis CoSgrove, foreman, while crying
like a child. announced that he
was asked by his fellow jurors
TO recommend the prisoner to the mercy of
the crown, and the judge SAID such recon-
mendation would be considered. Riei was
senttNced to be hanged on the 18th day of
September at Regina. Judge Richardson
said he could hold out no prospect OF re-
prieye or interference by her majesty. Riel
took the result cody. having spoken two
hours in reviewing the troubles Of 1869 and
the half-breed grievances up to the present
time. 1t is not yet settled on what charge
the half-breed prisoners will be tried. 1t
will probably be treason-felony, in order to
obvate necessity of serving the indictment
ten days before trial. The majority OF the
Indian prisoners will be charged with muir
der. although some may be indicted Tor
treason-felony or levying war. The latter
charge is not necessarily capital.

The Whi.IKYOu,Iaok.

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-The following in
terview with Charles Z. Chase, q promi-
nent whisky man of Louisville. appears to-
day: There will be no further efforts to
obtain an extension of the bond period FROM
the government. for a large percentage OF
dealers and diStillerS are satisfied with the
present laws, and are thoroughly convinced
that to ask congress for relief will result
only in depressing trade, aud making the
market lower and feverish. Then, too, if
the bonded period should be extended,
diStillers would be put to heavy expenses in
order to erect the required warehouses to
hold the bonded goods. l think all dis
tillerS are growing satisfied with the three
years now allowed them by the revenue de-
partment. for in that length of time we find
that whisky now natures sufficiently
to be marketable. l sincerely hope
the extension cranks among us
may not again inhict congress
So, 900. 900 would cover all the failures in
the trade, and that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
concern was responsible for two-thirdS of
this amount. The past two year s. de-
preston, +" he continued, has proved the
solidity of the liquor trade in general, for
very few failures have taken place, although
the losses have been heavy. The demand
for consumption, coupled with the large
amount Of whisky exported. has decreased
very greatly the over production OF 1SS1-2,
and at present the amount in this country
is not as large as held in many previous
years. Throughout the country, operatives
in all lines of business who consume whisky
are more or less idle, from the closing OF
mills and other suspensions of business, so
they have not money to buy liquors, The
whisky business will not revive until there
is general change for the better" The
larger yart OF the distillers believe the worst
is over and say they see signs Of hi CHER
prices at an early date.

sion men seem all very well satisfied. They

not an objection to it.
SECRETARY STURTEvANT's VIEWS.
Il have heard nothing from Duluth to-
day, and will get no reports until Monday"
said G. c. Sturtevant, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, "but unless one was
opened there, there Is not public ele-
vatOr in the state to-day. The new
law has no effect, just yet, as the old crop
will be inspected under the old rules. How
ever, 1t makes comparatively little differ
ence to Minneapolis, when one comes to
consider it, for less than one-fourth of the
grain that comes here goes through the ele-
vators. The mills take all the rest and
they collect it in their private bins in the
country and send it in just as they want it.
An inspection, with its accompanying
charges for cleaning. is an imposition on the
mills, or would be. if they had it, because
it is an expense of about cents bushel all
for nothing. They don't care for the clean
ing, as they have to do that anyhow, and
they make the cost in the screenings. In
Duluth, where there is no consumption
and all storage, is where it counts, but not
here"

suit, hei preparing list Of charges, and it
is more than likely that when the senate
meets in December. it will have more
nominations in the consular service to act
upon than in any other branch of the gov
eminent. The secretary has discov-
cred in his Investigations that there are
some twenty or more consulS
whose removal would seriously injure the
efficiency of the service. The criterion
of the efficiency of z consul Is his
ability to make valuable reports
In this respect, the gentlemen filing
the posts at Crefeld, Germany; Havana,
Cuba; MarseilleS, France; Bradford, Eng
land; Leith, Scotland; Antwerp Belgium,
and Palermo, Italy, rank with the highest,
and it will be useless for would-be censuIs
to apply for any of these places at present.
There are upwards Of 100 ap-
plicatiOns for the Havana con-
sulate. Secretary Bayard's object is to
improve the tone of the service and to re-
lieve it from the charges of inefticiency and
corruption which have been SO common in
the past.

commenced to unload large water-wheel
from a car which stood beside the mill.
The large timbers had been placed to slide
it TO the basement Of the mill, the timbers
being on an incline Of about forty-tive de-
grees. Ropes and pulleyS were attached to
the wheel to lower it to the basement OF
the mill, and half a dozen men with
bars stood behind it to steady it down.
The long timber had become wet and
slippery from the dew of the night, and

down with considerable velocity. Thomas
Daley was standing near the door OF the

The wheel struck him on the side OF the
