THAT CANCELLED NOTE.
A Bank Teller Finds a 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 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 sequel to the $40 note or merely an acct
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 investigation in progress in the Office of
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 growing
impression among those engaged in the investi-
cation that the 800 note accidentally slipped
from the package during the count by the
banks agent, and was found by an employee
without particularly honest principles. Two
days before the presentation of the $50 note
for redemption a note of like denomination
was found in a waste basket by messenger in
cleaning up the room, and he Immediately
gave it 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

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

Virtual Admission of COTS Election by

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. N.-The conces-
sion by the democrats of the election of Hon.
Nathan Golf 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 republic
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 doomed up 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.

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 Is to Is per cent lower than last
nights figures, Union Pacific being the only ex-
ception in the active list, with an advance of Il
per cent. The interest in the dealings was
very small and conferred chiefly in a half a
dozen stocks such Reading, Missouri Pa
cific, 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

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

The Captains Resignation.

GOSSIP IN ARMY CIRCLES OVER THE UNUSUAL
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 colonels 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 nomi-
nation. Once back in the army the merits of
his case could easily be tried by a retiring
board, as suggestedJby Gen. Schofeld.
A good many believe that il 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 II not it
will be well nigh hopeless.

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

The New York Herald to-day publishes 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.. Plat 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 purpose on the part of Elkins,
Platt and company to bring about the nominal
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 OH 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. II, on the other hand, the gain
should be Harrisons, and the detection from
Sherman, the latter was to throw his entire
strength to the Indiana candidate. In no 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 lieutenants Of the three candi-
dates were instructed by telegraph what to do,
and the plan worked like a 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
A 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.

as il 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. l know exactly what

to the last. He wanted the nomination himself,
and never entered into any agreement with Mr..
Harrison any one else, such as described. !
may tell what 1 know of the matter, but it is
too early to do 30 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 fastened to get under cover. That rush
of the Blaine men made Harrisons 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.

Texas WOol-Growers.
THEY WANT THE TARIFF AMENDED AND DECLARE
FOR PROTECTION.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27-The wool-growers of
Kimble, Menard, Sutton and Schleicker coun-
ties of Texas, at a meeting held yesterday,
adopted resolutions urging Congress to 30
amend the present tariff as to prevent the i'm
portation OF foreign wool under the names of
ring-waste, thread-waste. yarn-waste, &C.,
which are now used to evade tariff duty; de-
claring that it is largely due to these fraudu-
lent importations Of wool and improper CLASH
fcation and the inequality of the tariff on
wooden and worsted goods that our
industry has been so seriously
checked in its development, and de-
Gliding to send delegation to Washing
ton to present to Congress the true needs of the
wool industry of the south. The resolutions also
express great satisfaction at the result Of the
late election, thinking it vindication Of the
protective system, and in view of the fact that
all the Texas delegates in Congress are opposed
to the present tariff system and favor free wool,
they respectfully request Hon. 8. J. Randall, OF
Pennsylvania, and Hon. VIM. Mckinley, OF
Ohio, to represent the Texas wool-growing in
