Five New Cruisers to Be Built by Uncle
Sam, and FirSt-ClasS Ones
They Must Be.
Not Many More Fat Offices Left to Be Distrib-
uted Among the Faithful Republic
cans by President Harrison.


Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Not very
many fat offices are left now and the bulk
of what remains belongs to the state de-
partment where there are yet many
Democrats to be bounced and RepubIi-
cans substituted The Russian mission,
worth S17 500, is vacant: also a number
of second-class missions, and fully
three fourths of the consular
places are yet to be filed.
The most important office, the supreme
judgeship, goes to Secretary Noble, if
all reports be true, though he has so far
cOntradicted all statements to the effect
that the place had been rendered him.
A vacancy exists likewise IN the inter
state commerce commission for which
there are many applicants, but the presi
dent regards the position as one of the
most important in the government, and
Will take his time in making a selection.
1t is now learned that the commission
of Frank Clark, as collector at FL Paso,
was made out and sent to the president
during his last visit here, and that owing
to some hitch at the eleventh hour the
president threw down his pen refused TO
sign it. Clark said that if DeGress had
only kept his hands off he would
have obtained the presidential signature
easily, but that DeGress iuterfered and
blocked MS game just as he was on the
point of winning. 1t is not easy to name
the winners at FL Paso even at this late
date, but it is evidently the field against
Clark.

A Bad Note.

WASHINGTON, Aug. -. Chief of Sc
cret service of the treasury department
is informed that counterfeIt s. United
States silver certificates act of August 1
1886, department series 1886. check let
ter G, has just made its appearance IL
the West. The general appearance of
the note is very bad. The vignette of
Gen. Hancock is exceptionally poor, and
the background very scratchy. In the
center of the upper right hand corner of
the face of note containing the figure
''2, > the geOmetric lathe work is not
discernable, while in the genuine it is
very distinct Check letter co., next
to the vignette of Hancock is very indis-
tinct, and it is omitted altogether in the
right end OF the note. The small letters
in the border of the face are very indis-
tinct. On the back of the note the lathe
work is so poor that cursory glance
would at once enable one to determine
its false character, and the words
''Bureau engraving and printing in
the small panel in the lower center of the
back can hardly be deoiphered.

man, Durr & Co., cotton factors, have
issued a. circular in which they say:
''The general cotton crop of the country
for the present year. 1889, promises to
be the largest ever produced in the
'Ehited States, but on account of there
being IN the stocks now carried by spin
ners so much poor cotton, they, the
spinners, will be compelled to buy of the
first picking this year in order. to get
better grade with which to work off their
old stock, so that for a time, at least,
there viii bete good demand for the new
cropsand at high prices. It1ooks Teason-
able 20 us that cotton will bring higher
prices from now until the lst of October
than at any other time during the next
season, and if this be true, then 1t be-
hooves producers to pick~and get to
market every bale they can between this
and the LIST of October in order to avail
themselves of the high prices likely to
prevail.
