WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Gen. Net
tleton. assistant secretary of the treas
ury, in response to inquiries on the sub
Ject, tonight made the following state
ment: 1.-The treasury department to-
day, in addition to it's regular disburse-
ments, which are unusually heavy, paid
out S2,348,0 ,0S4 on account of bond pur-
chases and advance interest as follows:
Interest prepaid, 81, ,O6S. .O34: redemption
of 411as, 1856, ,050; purchase Of per cents,
$75O.0O0. The per cents purchased to-
day were accepted at 1875. This is the
first considerable purchase of per
cents for some time, and the price paid
is per cent above that heretofore paid
under the circular OF July 10. 1t is
thought that there may be an i'm
preston among holders of 4 per
cent bonds that the government
has withdrawn from the market for
per cents. This is not the fact, as the
treasury is ready to take considerable
amount of fOurS if they are to be had.
The inquiry instituted yesterday by the
secretary of the treasury developed the
fact that the total balance of duties due
on all imported merchandise in bond at
the port or New YORK on september l,
was only S17,5O0,0OO. Only moderate
portion of these goods will be subject to
increased duty under the schedule in
the new tariff bill. These facts would
seem to indicate that anxiety based on
this feature of the situation has been
largely without foundation. AS to
further measures of relief, in so far as
the existing stringency can reasonably
be said to be due to the inevitable oper-
ations OF existing laws governing
the collection and disbursement of the
government revenues, the treasury de-
partment will not hesitate to apply such
effective remedies as the law permits
and the situation requires. The secre-
tary of the treasury on his return to
Washington from New England will be
In New York tomorrow, and will adopt
such a course as shall seem to him
timely and calculated to meet the diff
Guilty as it exists" It is. said that one
of the minor measures of relief for the
market that may be adopted by the
treasury will be the payment in adj
vance of years interest on the $685.

MIR. Burton, of Ohio, Introduces
a Congressional Redis-
tricting Bill.
He Would Have the States
Carved Up by Boards Of
Four Members Each.
Two Of These to Be Members
Of One Party, and the
Others Of the Other.
A National Board of Five Mem
berS to Act in All Cases
Of Disagreement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Representa-
tive Burton, Of Ohio, to-day introduced
in the house bill to regulate the divis-
ion of the states of the Union into con-
gressional districts. The bill provides
that within twelve months afer the
passage of an apportionment act the
states shall be divided into congress
sional districts by districting board in
each state, composed of four resident
members. two of each political party, to
be appointed by the governors. Dis
tricts are to consist of contiguous terri
tory, and no district is to have more
than one member. A district is
not to be divided unless its population
exceeds by one-tent tn the number neces-
sary to entitle it to representative,
except in states electing representa-
tives by towns. and no district is to con-
tain more than on e-twentieth more or
less inhabitants than the number neces-
sary to entitle it to representative.
Districts are to be composed of compact
territory, bounded as nearly as may be
by civil subdivisions or natural bound
aries. There is to be a national board
OF five members, four politically divided,
and the other judge of the supreme, dis
trict or circuit United States courts, ap-
pointed by the president and confirmed
by the senate, to act in. case of failure
to act or disagreement of the state
boards. The districts made by these
boards are to remain intact until the
next census apportionment.

The chariot races are about as drawing

amusement to be found even in the alb
surd contretemps which the sudden
lowering of the temperature had pro-
vOked. The moss-haired lady, whose
peculiarities are extolled in the
rhetorical style of a ward politician
by her manager, stood exposed to
the cold in pair of pink tights. From
the waist up she wore a heavy fur
jacket. but the way the playful breezes
whistled around those pink legs was
caution, and the expression of abiect
misery on the face of the exposed dam
sci would have been grOtesque if it had
not been pitiful. The proprietor of

falo coat, and with chattering teeth inn
plored the crowd to come and buy iced
drinks. Taking the day all round here

Squeeze.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Secretary
Rusk, in an interview with a Post re-
porter to-day upon the excitement in
the grain markets caused by fear of
short crops, said: 'sOf course, the fact
that there was slight falling off
in the quantity of the crops had an
effect upon the markets, but the tend
encyi has been upward, as far as
prices are concerned on all the cereals.
l attribute the increase to other causes
than the shortage in the crops. The
statement that this has been the lightest
yield for twenty years l cannot agree
with. This may be the case with the
barley crop. which is exceptionally
short. The shortage in the yield Of
some of the cereals this year was autic-
pated in the June report. The facts are
moderate in their yield and an
increase in the price is only
an indication that the tendency
is that way. Grain operators
watch our bulletins very closely, and
they no doubt make their calculations
on the basis shown in them. So far as
the information that we receive is con-
cerned it comes from thousand differ
ent sources. Their object is to prevent
great fluctuations"
''You do not apprehend any serious
sqneeze?"
ports have considerable influence in
checking any complicated corner, and
everybody is enabled to know the pre-
else condition of the crop. As they
prevent fiuctuation rather than increase
it. the more frequent they are made the
more gradual and pacific the condition
becomes"
"Is it a fact that the report is the
most unfavOrable one ever iSsued?" was
asked.
s'Not at all. The cotton crop is ex-
traordinarily good. Oats are probably
lower than they have been for twenty
years, but that is the only weak point,
with the exception of the barley crop.
which was very prolific last year, how
ever"
"How is the quality?"
uniformly fair, except as | have
stated. with oats, which are not only
short. but poor in quality. The barley
crop is merely good. / think that this
country should raise less wheat and
import less barley. We export wheat
and import barley, and there is no rea-
son why we shouldn't raise it all. The
expectation of corn this year will be
about the same. This is not very large,
however, as foreign natives eat but
very little corn. I think that on the
whole there is no cause for any trepida-
!tion on the part of those controlling the
market"

LA CROSSE, Wis, Sept. 12.-The
Democratic congressional convention
here to-day was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held. The Democrats
have assurance of material help from
the Republicans on account of the bit
ter fight growing out of the nomination
of o. B. Thomas, and feel great conf
dence in carrying the district. There
were but two candidates, Frank Coburn
and j. Nj. Morrow. MI. Coburn is the
young farmer boy VINO made a strong
run two years ago, leading his ticket in
every county. He was placed in nomi-
nation by Hon. G. NJ. Woodward, and
MIR. Morrow by DR.. Lamborn, the
speeches in both cases being conServa-
tive, though full of warmth of en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Coburn was nominated
on the first formal ballot, receiving 3S
out of 62 votes. He accepted, and
stated his canvass would be made large
ly on the issue of tariff and taxation.
Strong speeches were made by Messrs.
Morrow and Woodward, and the con-
vention closed with three cheers for
"Peck and all schools"
BUTTE, Mont, Sept 12.-The Repub-
lican state convention adjourned sine
die this afternoon. No formal telegram
of acceptance was received from Carter,
but by private telegrams it was considss
cred reasonably sure that he would ac-
cept. A telegram was sent Carter re-
fusing to withdraw his name and insist
ing that he should lead the Republi-
cans in the coming fight. The conven-
ton then adjourned.

And Reduces His Estimate of
Dutiable Goods.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-John M. Com
stock, auditor of the naval office, sent
the following letter to-day to Charles R.
Flint: ''Since the statement made by
me the other day have had the benefit
of further official reports, and it is safe
to say that the duties upon goods in
bonded warehouses on the 1st of Sep
tember will not exceed $1S.000.000. The
principal special payments on account
of the tariff will be made upon wOolens
and tobacco. l find that there were in
bond on the 1st day Of September of all
kinds of tobacco manufactured 11,000,-
600 pounds. This quantity probably
of tobacco in bond, because Withdraw
ais have about eqnaled the additions.
A safe maximum estimate of the amount
of duty required to withdraw the whole
of the tobacco would be $5.000,OOO tax
ing 25 per cent of the amount as liable
to duty at rs cents per pound, and rs
per cent of it as liable to duty at 35
cents. A portion of this will be ex-
ported and transported without pay
ment of duty, which will reduce the
amount required in this port. AS to the
cOn0ltlOn In the entlro united States, 1t
can only be approximated by an esti-
mate, and so far as it relates to the
goods which are affected adversely by
the new tariff. New York will certainly
represent at least 20 per cent of
the whole amount required for
special duties. In the light OF
further information, I shall reduce
my estimate of the amount which might
be required during the month of Octo-
Der for special duty to $S,OOO,OOO in the
city of New York, and to 100000 in
the whole United States. 1t should be
noted that under the provisions of the
bill which passed the senate only those
goods which arrived before the 1st of
August are eligible to the old rate of
duty if withdrawn before the first day
of November. All goods placed in bond
before that date will be liable to the
new ratesof duty as soon as they are
enforced. 1t is quite certain that the
amount of money required for customs
purposes will not reach alarming pro-
portions. The importations at the pres
ent time are not excessive, while the
daily Withdrawals from warehouses are
beyond the ordinary average"

Peace in the Balance.

LA LIBERTAD, Sept. 12.-It is ex-
tremely difficult at this point to obtain
accurate information concerning the
actions and policy of the present gov
ernment. The officials are exceedingly
reticent and keep close watch on all
news sent out of the country. The
general understanding here is that the
negotiatiations for peace between Sal
vador and Guatemala are still in prog
ress, and that no terms have as yet
been definitely arranged.

all the clerks and employees were at the

week.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The special
committee of the house appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Commits
sioner Raum met at the pension build
ing this morning for the purpose of TAX
ing the testimony of the 1873 clerks who,
1t was charged, had received promotions
by reason of their purchasing stock in
the Universal Refrigerating company.
All OF the members were present with
the exception of Mr. Goodnight, of Ken
lucky. The committee, however, de-
cided not to call any of the clerks for
examination for the following reasons,
which were entered on the record at
the direction of the committee:
"Gen. Raum requested the COM
mittee to subpoena every employe of
the pension depar tment who has been
promoted under his administration of
the Office, to disprove the charge that
any of such employees have purchased
or held stock in the Universal Refrig-
Grating company, or been promoted by
reason thereof. The committee de-
clined to comply with his request on
the ground that it would, in their opin-
ion. Judging from the evidence already
taken, be causeless consumption of
time and needless expense. Messrs.
Morrill,, Flick and Lewis sustained the
objection, Mr.. Sawyer diisenting."
The committee then adjourned. This
practically closes the investigation, and
a report will probably be made during
the coming week.

received blow on the ear, and as re-
suit the bright mind which made him
conspicuous as politician and business
man throughout the state is shattered,
and, though sound physically, he is
mental wreck, with little hope of re-

stantly by him, and have been entirely
baffied by the apparent manifestations
of what was at first supposed to be a
fracture of the skull, and then
brain fever, but the return to sound
physical health, while the mind is that
of an infant, removes all doubt as to his
ailment. He continually counts over fig
ures in large business transactions in
which he was engaged, and violent
form of mania is looked for. There

That the president is taking deep in
terest in the financial situation is shown
by the fact that he devoted nearly two
hours of the afternoon to telegraphic
correspondence with Secretary Window
at WilIiamstown, Mass, and Assistant
Secretaries Bachelor and Nettleton at

lieving the present stringency in the
money market. The telegraph Office is

ing near the executive cottage
1t was formerly used by col
OIed people as place of

dent and Mr.. Halford transacted their

results of the conference was an order
for the prepayment of interest aggre-
eating S5,000.000 on the currency skies
and for an advance In the rate for per
cent bonds to 125. Another question
considered was the propriety of sug-
gesting an extension of bonded peri
DDS hnder the proposed new tariff
law. but no conclusion was reached on
this point. The latest advices received
by the president were to the effect that
money was easier at the close Of busi-
ness and that the outlook was more

RECIPROCITY LEAGUE

Known Canadian.

TORONTO, Ont. Sept. 12.-John Hal
lam, one Of the most extensive hide
dealers in Canada, writes to the news
papers letter advocating the forma-
tion of ''reciprocity league with a
subscribed capital of 100000. the OBJ
ject being ito create healthy public
sentiment, so that economic questions
affecting trade and commerce between
the United States and Canada can be
discussed free from party bias; to edu-
cate the people on all matters relat-
ing to tariffs, free trade or reciprocity,
by employing gentlemen who are good
speakers and capable of presenting the
views of the league in popular form; to
send out literature in the shape of pam
phlets and fly sheets. and to engage
writer's who are conversant with econ
omic questions to write editorials for
those newspapers favorable to free trade
principles"
Mr.. Hallam says he is encouraged to
make this suggestion for the formation
of league. because Blaine, Sherman,
Vest and others are favorable to recip-
rocity. He is willing to be one of 200 to
subscribe $500 each for the formation of
a fund.
