much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
Of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet style of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns of
verbiage and stuff THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result Of such a
condition of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailcs
combined
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionaby has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price

THAT CANCELLED NOTE.
A Bank Teller Finds Suspicious Note
In His Cash.

Ever since the presentation Of an already
cancelled $40 national bank note at the Treas
ury for redemption, the other day, by a city
bank, the local bank tellers have been some
what more careful in accepting old notes bear
ing suspicious marks and patchings, but a day
or SO ago messenger Of one of the local banks
informed some officials of the treasurer's Office
that the teller at that bank had discovered in
his cash note that was thought to have been
already redeemed. 1t had the lower corners
cut, he said, but there were no holes punched
in the center Of the note The note has not
been presented for redemption, and conse-
quently the Treasury department has nothing
to do with the case, nor will it have until the
bank sends the note to the treasurer for either
investigation or redemption. OF course, the
office is anxious to know whether this
is a sequel to the $40 note or merely an acci-
dent. In case this note shows signs of having
been once cancelled it will be good evidence
that there may be more of that character still
in circulation.
the controller of the currency has as yet devel-
oped nothing on which to base a theory as to
the cause of the fraud, but there is a growing
impression among those engaged in the investi-
CATION that the $40 note accidentally slipped
from the package during the count by the
banks agent, and was found by an employe
without particularly honest principles. Two
days before the presentation Of the $40 note
for redemption a note of like denomination
was found in a waste basket by a messenger in
cleaning up the room, and he Immediately
gave 1t to the clerk in charge OF the Office.
Controller Trenholm, who returned to the
city on Monday, said this morning that he was
perfectly ignorant of the state of the case, and
was awaiting report of the investigation from
his assistant, Mr.. Abrahams.

Outrageous Treatment Of American Yes.
sells by Spanish Officials at Porto Rico.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The brigantine JOS
ETA, which arrived at this port Tuesday from
Montengo bay, Jamaica, brings news of an out
rage suffered by that vessel at the hands of the
Spanish government. While discharging cargo
on her outward trip from New York at Arroyo,
Porto Rico, the Spanish customs officials dis
covered that twenty packages Of corn-starch
which were marked on the vessels manifest
were missing. After extended search the
goods could not be found and the vessel was
sieZed by the Spanish authorities who held her
until fine of $4,000 paid, although the
value of the goods in question did not exceed
$50. The master and crew were
FORCED TO SUFFER MANY ISDIGNITIEs
at the hands of the governor of..the islands and
officials under his authority. The authorities
offered to settle the matter if the captain of
the vessel could satisfactorily explain the
whereabouts of the missing packages. After
the fine had been paid il was ascertained that
the missing goods were delivered by mistake
on board the ship Josephus, which Law next to
the Josefa in New York. but were placed ON the
Josefas manifest. Explanation. was made to
the Spanish authorities and the return Of the
fine was requested, but refused, and the vessel
left Porto Rico to load cargo elsewhere for this
city. The managing owner of the Josefa has
filed a complaint against the Spanish govern
ment with Secretary Bayard. and asked that
his immediate attention be given to the matter
1t will be urged that the war ships Galena and
Yantic shall be ordered to continue their cruise
to Porto Rico and summarily secure redress for
the imposition suffered by the Josefa.

The Captains Resignation.

GOSSIP IN ARMY CIRCLES OVER THE UNUSUAL
CASE.
Army officers who are inclined to blame the
irregular conduct Of the artillery captain, the
story of whose resignation has been already
told in The STAR, are, nevertheless, of the gen.
eral opinion that an extenuating element may
be found in considering the coloners attitude
in the case. The fact that before the rupture
OF the social relations between their families
these two officers were commonly known as
about the most intimate friends in the army is
well known and considerably commented upon.
While the captain is not absolutely upheld by
those who have watched the case, he has, at
the same time, their sympathy.
At the present outlook there is no apparent
way out of the difficulty except by the accept
ance OF the captains resignation regardless of
his charges of bad faith on the part Of the col
onel. 1t will then be legal question whether
or not the President, if he wants to- can re-
store the officer to his former rank by a nomi-
nation. Once back in the army the merits of
his case could easily be tried by a retiring
board, as suggested by Gen. Schofeld
good many believe that if the captain is
forced to leave the army he will bring suit in
court to be restored His case will hang en-
tirely upon the question Of the three months
notice, which, he alleges, the colonel promised
to give him before transmitting the resigna-
ton to the Secretary. II he can prove this his
case, it is thought, is pretty good; but il not il

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. N.-The conces-
sion by the democrats of the election of Hon.
Nathan Goff to the governorship is virtually
admitted by the announcement here to-day
that Judge Fleming has completed his notice
Of contest and will serve it in few days. The
republicans have been expecting this, and
while not totally unprepared have done little
toward collecting material for reply. The con-
test will be made before the legislature, which
is democratic by one majority. Every republi-
can member has been urged to let nothing pre-
vent his being on hand at the organization Of
the legislature, as the absence of one or more
democrats would throw the control of the or
ganization, settlement of the gubernatorial
contest, and the election Of United States Sem
ator into republican hands. Senator Kenna is
here looking after affairs. Ex-senator Davis,
who for awhile loomed up as a possible and
dangerous opponent to Kenna, has lost his
prestige in consequence of the Importance his
name has received in the alleged movement on
the part of Gen. Harrison to break up the
solid south, and his personal intimacy with
Gen. Harrison, s. b. Elkins, Mr.. Blaine and
other prominent republican leaders.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-A Zanzibar dispatch says;
It has been discovered that an agreement in
relation to slave-dealing exists between the
English East African company the sultan Of

baza. BY this agreement the Arabs are au-
thorized to carry on a trade in slaves, and to
fog or otherwise punish them. The company,
upon hiring slaves, must make an arrangement
with the owners. The wages of the slaves
must be paid to the owners: English mission
stations are obliged under the agreement to
RETURN RUNAWAY SLAVES
to their owners, After the agreement had
been signed the agents Of the company, Mr..
Mackenzie and Gen. Matthews, accompanied
by Manbaga Arabs. went to the Pabai church
mission station and demanded the surrender of
certain runaways who had taken refuge at the
station. The missionaries refused to give them
up. The companys agents, therefore, in
order to avoid a collision paid S25 for each
slave they were unable to return to the owners
The English consul has issued a proclamation
warning all British subjects in Zanzibar that
they will be liable to seven years imprison-
ment If they enter into contracts for slave
labor. The British traders have made united
protest against the order. They say that slave
labor is the only kind Of labor obtainable in
Zanzibar. and that if this is cut off all work
must be stopped. In view Of this protest the
consul Will suspend the enforcement OF the
proclamation pending instructions from Lord
Salisbury.
THE EAST AFRICA COMPANY DENIES.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The secretary Of the
English East Africa Company denies the au-
thenticity OF the story from Zanzibar about an
agreement between the company and the
sultan and the Arab slave-dealers. He says no
such agreement has been made. He further
says that the only action of Agent Mackenzie
in regard to slaves has been to pay for the
liberation of 400 slaves

THAT CABINET STEW.
What Representative Thompson Says Of
Story of the Chicago Convention.

The New York Herald to-day publishes a dis
patch from Albany, quoting some man who is
supposed to know it all, for story of Mr..
Harrison's nomination. the argument Of which
is that neither Mr.. Blaine nor Mr.. Quay will
have influence with Mr.. Harrison in the matter
of making up his cabinet. The conclusion is
that Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Wanamaker,
and Mr.. Platt are going to be left out of the
cabinet, and that Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Whar-
ton Barker are to be all-powerful with the new
administration.
The story told Of the nomination is that
Wharton Barker first brought about an agree
ment between the Harrison and the Blaine
men that the Blaine strength was to go to the
Indiana candidate, but that the Harrison folks
discovered a purpose on the part of Elkins,
Platt and company to bring about the nomina-
ton Of Blaine. Thereupon Wharton Barker
saw John Sherman in Washington the day be-
fore the nomination and reached an agreement
with him. the terms of which are thus described:
'.if Harrison on the first ballot on Monday
should suffer decided loss and Sherman
should gain, the Harrison phalanx should
march bodily over to the camp of the Ohio
statesman. If, on the other hand, the gain
should be HsrrisOn's, and the detection from
Sherman, the latter was to throw his entire
strength to the Indiana candidate. In 40 case
was the nomination Of Blaine. or of a dark
horse, to be permitted. Senator Allison called
later in the day and entered heartily into the
agreement This agreement settled the nomi-
nation. The heutenants of the three candi-
dates were instructed by telegraph what to do,
and the plan worked like charm next day."
1t is further pointed out that all the sympa-
thies of Mr.. Harrison are with Sherman and
antagonistic to Blaine.
WHAT REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON SAYS
STAR reporter called the attention of Rep
resentative Thompson, of Ohio, who was one of
the close friends of Sherman at Chicago, to this
article.
THE man who quoted these" he said, ''talks
as If he had little something from people who
knew of the situation in Chicago and he had
got wrong in his conclusions He evidently
knows nothing himself. know exactly what
MIR. Sherman's plans and expectations were up
to the last He wanted the nomination himself,
and never entered into any agreement with Mr.
Harrison or any one else, such as described I
may tell what 1 know of the matter, but it is
too early to do SO now. / have only to say that
on Monday morning Mr.. Sherman and his
friends
FELT no DOUBT OF HIS NOMINATION.
Up to the third ballot we thought Sherman
safe. Then the California Blaine men thought
they saw Harrison's nomination before them
and hastened to get under cover. That rush
OF the Blaine men made Harrison's nomination
certain. Mr.. Sherman never tried to assist any
man but himself to the nomination, but can
say that he was not sorry that it was Harrison
and not another who got the nomination,

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, Dec 27.-The stock market was
quiet this morning at the opening, and became
positively dull before the end of the hour.
First prices showed considerable weakness, be-
ing from to per cent lower than last
nights figures, Union Pacific being the only ex-
ception in the active list, with an advance of x
per cent. The interest in the dealings was
very small and centered chiefly in a half a
dozen stocks such as Reading, Missouri Pa
cifc, Union Pacific, Lake Shore, and St. Paul;
while the market was Utterly devoid of special
features. Prices were held steady at about
opening figures, with the fluctuations made
within an extremely narrow range until toward
IL o'clock, when dropping tendency appeared
and small fractions were lost. No further
change occurred in the list and at IL o'clock
the market was quiet and heavy at small frac-
tions under the opening figures.
