CAPITOL.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE president
is naing his best efforts in the clearing
mp OF the work 30 as to be able TO- leave
Washington early next week for q
holiday in the Adirondack mountains.
He will probably leave on Monday il
his work will permit. 1t Is said that the
president will appoint q public printer
md o district judge for Colorado, Alaba-
ma and North Carolina before his
departure. tits understood that
the mission OF General
Sedg wick TO Paso del Norte and AChi-
huahua is not IN any sense of Q diplo-
matte nature, but is made literally at
the request of the secretary of state for
the purpose of examining into facts and
legal features of the Cutting case. His
journey may be extended to the City of
Mexico, but this point depends on
future determination. Secretary Lamar
left Washington last night for
Yonkers, New York. where he remains q
week or ten days. Col. NJ. v. Mont
gomery, commissioner OF patents, will
leave the city on: Sunday morning for
Deer Park, Maryland.
Acting Secretary Fairchild said to-day
that no policy had been determined up
on by the department. with regard to
future calls for bonds. The call for $10,.
100000, which will mature September
18th, was made because it
was deemed wise and ~expedient. Future
calls will be determined by the state of
the finances, while it is probable that
q second call for $40 0 900 bonds may
be made next month. Secretary Fair
ehild's views in regard to the public
debt are embodied in the following
statement made by him before
the senate committee. The surplus
resolution on finance as undel
consideration by the secretary OF
the treasury, is fully in accord with this
resolution, SO far as it is In favor of ap.
plying the surplus revenue of the gov
eminent to the extinction OF the interest
bearing debts, in such amounts and at
such hines as this may be prudently and
safely done. Fairchild denied in the
most positive terms the published
statement that he and Treasurer
Jordan we're at variance on the subjec,
of bond calls and said that the recent
call was made after a conference with
Mr.. Jordan and with his entire concur
rsnce.
NC can now be authoritlvely stated
that Sedgwick, of New York goes to
Paso Del Norte and Chihuahua by re-
quest OF Secretary Bayard in connection
with the Cutting case, to secure from
the deputy Of the state, sulles informa'
tion with regards TO the case. The
records OF Mexican courts are moi
published as are those of this country
and the diplomatic channels through
which they would naturally run, arr
roundaboutand SLOW owing to the dis
tanca between the scene OF the trial anc
the capital. General Sedgwick in add
tion to securing the records. will look NJ
all the facts in the case and study 1t.
legal features, reporting fully and al
early as possible to Secretary Bayard
Nc further steps are contemplated b,
the department until Gen. Sedgwicl
shalt report.
