xenia Financial Troubles.

XESIA, o.. Msy7.-It is the prevailing
feeling that Xenia's financial trouble is
over. and confidence is absolutely restored.
1t was thought that the country people
would come in and draw their money, but
such was not the case. Every body seems
inclined to avoid going near the banks, and
the announcement by Bank Examiner J.
U. Sullivan that he was not quite through
with the Second Bank, but that it had am
pie resources TO meet all demands without
any question. created a general good feel
ing all around.
For while SATURDAY. reports were out
that dozen different firms were going un-
der, and these reports spread throughout
the country, but they became so wild as to
grow ridiculous, and finally got people to
laughing. Ii is very certain now that the
Allison Twine Factory will be operated to
its full capacity by the assignee, with the
consent of tine creditors. The works are
now clearing 81, 200 per week, and the town
is greatly interested in their continuance.

ieNATIus ooNNEuIYs CIPHER,
A Newspaper Man Shows that it IL Sim
ply Arthme metical Progression.

ST. Louis, May THE Post Dispatch
publishes an article ON the Shakespeare
Donnelly-Bacon cipher, written by John
J. Jennings, of that paper, in which it is
shown that the key number from which
Donnelly obtains his five root numbers and
which he has persistently refused to dis
close, is 222. This key number is
obtained not only in the manner in which
Donnally claims to have obtained it, by using
the multipliers Z, 10, IL, and IS on pages
"A of the second Henry ", but also BY
combining Donnelly's modiiiers on page "a.
In fact, 222 is the sum OF several modifiers,
and it combines with every moditier on
pages 73 and "a OF the folio Shakespeare of
1623. By adding DID to 2s3. 2S4. 29l, 294,
and 301, modiiers found on page GA,
the root numbers are obtained and
the cipher is always worked ont from one
or the other of these roots. Mr.. Jennings
shows that the moiitiers are as numerous
as the words on Shakespeares pages, and
that the cipher is simply a case of arithme-
tical progression in which the number Of
terms is limited to the number of words in
any column chosen ami the differeutial is
nothing more or less than unit.

WORK AT WASHINGTON.
NO TARIFF DISCUSSION LIKELY THIS
WEEk-RlvER AND HARBOR BILL.
The Senate to be in Secret Session-Ths
Chinese Treaty Likely to be Ratified,
But the Fisheries Treaty VIII Ger.
tainly be Defeated.

WASHINGTON, May Tariff will con.
tinue to occupy the attention of the House
this week. Chairman Blanchard, of the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors, if he
feels secure in doing so, will move to
suspend the rules and put the river and
harbor bill on its passage. He believes
that he can secure the necessary two
thirds vote, having made pretty careful
canvass and ascertained that il is stronger
now than when he last made this propo-
sition. The tariff bill will not be taken up
under the five minute rule before Tuesday
of next week.
A Democratic caucus of the House will
be held on Wednesday night next to con-
slider what amendments shall be made to
the tariff bill. The army appropriation
bill will be reported by the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs to the House to-
morrow. Consideration of il is now prac-
tically completed, the only cause of delay
being the inability of the chairman 20 get
aquorum together to vote on one or two
points which have been hung up for eI-
PLANTATION from the War Department. 1t
contains nc material changes over the ap-
preparations for the current fiscal year, and
no items of special legislation.
In the Senate the pleuro pnemonia, or
animal industry bill, is unfinished busi-
ness, and with the copyright bill will Sc
cure consideration after the morning hour.
The land grant forfeiture bill will continue
TO receive consideration before two o'clock
each day. The North Dakota Statehood
bill may also receive some attention and
also the pension appropriation bill. The
Senate will be in secret session much of
the time during the week, considering the
Chinese treaty and probably the fisheries
treaty. the former having been reported
several days ago and the latter being ready
to report from the Committee on Foreign
Relations. The Chinese treaty will prob
ably be ratified. while the fisheries treaty
will in all probability be rejected.
The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions is holding no meetings now for want
of material The committee stands ad-
journed subject to the call of the chair
man. There is every likelihood" said o
member of the committee, "that we will
not get through with the Legislative and
sundry civil bills until after the close of
the present fiscal year. We shall probably
have to resort to the makeshift OF extend
ing the present laws from time to time.
We may not get through with them all be-
fore the middle of August"
