Who Was Once Rejected.

The President Sends in the Name of a Man
Who Was Once Rejected.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-The nomination of
James c. Matthews, colored, to be recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia, which was
one of those sent to the Senate to-day, was re-
ferred to the committee on the District of Co
lumbia. 1t is said to have been accompanied by
a message from the President giving his reasons
for handing in second time the name of man
whose nomination the Senate had once rejected
1t is reported that the message, after reciting
the first nomination and rejection, states that
a large number of persons in the District
had conceived prejudice against Matthews,
which fact, doubtless, influenced the action
the Senate. Matthews has now been in Office
several months and has proved his capacity by
rescuing the records Of the Office from loss and
ilegibilty. and his management of the Office
has had the effect of removing much of the op-
position which formerly existed. For these rea-
sons, and protesting an earnest desire to CO.
operate in securing for colored men Just recog-
milton, he ventures, in the utmost good faith, to
send in the nomination again, dsclaiming, how
ever. any intention of questioning the previous
action of the Senate in the premises.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The final report of the
royal commission appointed to investigate the
reason for the prolonged depression of trade in
Great Britain has been published and circulated

changeable value of the products OF the soil.
Second-Increase of production of nearly all
other classes of commodities
Third-A tendency in the supply of commod-
ties to outrun the demand.
Fourth--A consequent diminution in the profit
obtainable by production.
Fifth-A similar diminution in the rate of in

Lieutenant Dubois was drowned in the river
Congo while retreating from Stanley Falls sta

Captain Coquihot attributes to short supply of
ammunition. The Captain reports that after an
unsuccessful attempt by himself and party to re-
take Stanley Falls, from the ascent to which he
was driven by ambush firing by Arabs along the
river banks, he punished the Arabs severely at
Zoporra. The Captain does not believe the capt
ure of Stanley Falls station will result in an
Arab descent on the lower Congo. He says there
is plenty of time to bar the passage of the Arabs
should they attempt such move.
