vermont's Sharp Financiering.

WASHINGTON, October 14th.-Ihlrd Au-
litor Williams has written letter TO the
Secretary Of the Treasury, in which he
saws that under the Act to indemnify States
for expenses incurred by them in defense
of The Union, during the late war, Vermont
at various times filed claims aggregating
1924, ,735, of which $S57 ,Si5 has been paid,
leaving an apparent balance of $50 $780,
which the State is now asking to have
paid; that he (the Third Auditor) finds upon
examination that there are certain cred
its which reduce the indebtedness
10 a net balance of S543.7S0 in
favor of the Government; that in 1866,
while this sum was actually due to the
United States, Vermont received, under the
Act of Congress, 16 464 stand of arms for
defending the frontiers from invasion from
Canada in 1861; and finally. the Third
Auditor says he is informed that Vermont
sold these arms and equipments for Sl70,-
600, which was put into the State Treasury.
The Auditor concludes by calling the Sec
retary's attention to the fact that the YER
mont Legislature is now in session. and
that, pending such action as the Secretary
may see fit to take in the premises, the
claim of the State of Vermont will be held
SUSPENDED.

The Times Democrats Lake Charles special
SAYS The loss OF property along Cameron
Parish, on the Gulf coast, and for some
distance west of Sabine Pass, by the storm

boat from Cameron Parish reports that the
water at Calcasieu Pass was eight feet deep
at tee lighthouse, and that the entire

New YORK. October 14th.-The new crop
of Pacific coast hops is beginning to arrive
in fair quantities The quality proves very
fine on the average, and the best samples
make better appearance than the finest
German hops shown. Deliveries on con-
tract go through without trouble, and
prove so satisfactory that foreign goods are
rejected, unless lirst-class in every particu-
lar, or put in at a very low price. Pacific
coast can fairly be called strong at 80 cents
to 35 cents for good TO strictly choice quail
ity. The best Germans are very steady at
about the same figures, while exceptionally
fine BohemiaRs bring SO cents to IS cents.
Fine-quality stock is very firm in the for
eign markets as well as here, while the
lower grade are drag at declining prices.
One of the most reliable London hop mer-
chants writes that the exportable surplus in
England is not over 5000 packets of choice
quality and 10000 10 1900 packets of good
10 prime. English hops thus far received
here are mainly of the poorer grades.

Great Fire at Passport. Maine.


EAsTPoRr tMe.) October 14th.-A fire
broke out this afternoon and is still raging.
The Passamaquoddy Hotel has Just caught
fire. The wind is blowing fresh from the
southeast, and there are no hopes of pre-
venting the fire from sweeping the whole
of Wafer street. The greatest excitement
prevails. Merchants are all moving their
goods ous OF their stores. There is no fire
apparatus in town except two hand engines.
A year ago the town was destroyed oy fire.
Telegraph poles are burned, and the tele-
graph office has been abandoned on account
of the near. approach of the flames, and
all teleeraphic communication is stopped
for the present.
[SECOND DISPATCH.l
PORTLAND, October 14th.-A special from
Calais says the telegraph and telephone
offices at Eastport have been burned, and
communication with Calais is suspended.
The reflection of the fire on the sky can be
seen at distance of thirty miles, indicat-
ing that the fire is raging with increased
fury, and il is feared that the main part of
Eastport will be destroyed. When the fire
started the tide was low and ebbing, and
the reservoirs became exhausted. A tele-
graph official has left Calais to re-establish
communication. and until that is done
nothing can be learned.
Devastating Prairie Fires in Indian Ter
ritory.
ST. LOUIS October 14th.-A special from
Sherman, Texas, says: Late advices from
Indian Territory state that the most ex-
tensive and destructive fires ever known in
that Territory are sweeping over the
prairies. Millions of acres of rich grazing
lands, whick few days ago were covered
with luxurisnt growth of grass, are now
bare, charred wastes. The area burned
over extends from Vinita on the north to
Muscogee on the south, and on either side
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail
road as far as the eye can see. Large num-
bers of cattle have been burned to death,
and immense quantities of hay, baled and
loose, which was to have been used for
fodder during the winter, have been de-
stroyed, and cattlemen will be obliged to
drive their herds elsewhere to save them
from starvation. Investigation into the
origin of the fire is to be made by the
Vinita Indian Agent.

thrown on the market and on the decline
stop orders were reached, stopping further
weakness. Kansas & Texas was thrown
right and left, and all the gold stocks SYM
pathized in the general decline. There was
renewed talk Of cut freight rates at Chicago,

to accomplish anything in New York in
