The Tea Trade.

An English paper says: If the trade in
India and Ceylon tea goes on increasing,
as it has done of late, the tea trade of
China will soon be defunct. AS it is. the
importing Of China tea is regarded as
protitless by firms who once had good
reason to think otherwise, but who now
find the game not worth the candle. Ac-
cording to the board of trade returns for
December, 1889, just issued, the ship
ments of tea from India are now far in
excess Of those from China. having
amounted for the year to 127, 16O, 900
pounds, against 113. 005 900 pounds; while
those from China were only SO. S49, 900
pounds, against 105 ,424. 600 pounds in
1888. As the shipments from Ceylon are
nov very large the customs commission
ers have issued a general order. dated
Dec. 30, 1889, directing that for the fut-
ure the imports thence arc tt be shown
separately, and that tho same distinction
shall be observed with regard to tea

The fire which destroyed the palace of

broken and unsafe lamp in the servants

The Treasurer,s Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Figures
taken from the forthcoming report of
the secretary of the treasury show that
during the twenty years from 1870 to
the present time the total increase in
circulation has been over 1927, 900, 900.
making an increase per capita of 81. SO
in that time. During the last ten years
the average monthly increase was
So, 966, 999, an increase per capita of
$3.50. For nineteen months from
March, 1889, to October, 1890. the ag-
gregate increase circulation among the
people was $93. 866, S13, an increase
per capita of about 81. so, while for the
corresponding period from March,
1885 to October, 1886, there was a de-
crease of $21, $50, 943. making a differ
ence in favor of the last nineteen
months of over Sc, 600, 600 per month.
The large increase since March, 1889,
is mainly due to the present policy of
keeping the surplus as low as possible
by the purchase and redemption of
bonds, while the decrease from 1885
to 1886 was due to the opposite policy.

The Indians to be Disarrned.

RUsHvILLE, Neb., Nov. 30.-The
situation seems to be that something
must be done to excuse the coming OF
the troops here. That something, as
at present indicated, is that the Indians
are to be disarmed. The government
according to the best thinking men
here, has simply shown to the Indians
it's ability to bring enough force to
crush out a psssible fight, and this is
expected to settle the Indian trouble
for the future. A movement to disarm
is expected soon. The awkwardness
has not been at all relieved by the
presence of DR.. McGillicuddy here,
although his stay is requested by the
powers that be. Anyone can readily
judge of the feeling the Indian must
have for the present agent when the
old agent is in effect called in to settle
the matter. Dr.. McGillicuddy was
expected to stay here but one day. He
is still here, however, on request.
Everybody has expressions of conf
dence in McGillicuddy to offer. Nobody
goes out of his way to express himself
as being enamored of the policy of the
present incumbent, and the talk such
as ~unguardedly slips by lips which are
usually held under subsection is that
Mr.. r has not done as we'll as he
should. This is not definite. 1t
is simply a wave of opinion
which starts from Nashville, where
1 now am, and which extends
clear across the Pine Ridge
settlement. Gallagher's past is called
up as being the foundation, but every
body, almost is ready to say that a
little backbone would have obviated
much of the present trouble. There
are old c~ampaigners among the army
officers, and n and all are free in ex-
pressions of disgust at the situation,
which they unite in attributing to lack
of backbone. People out here believe
a congressional investigation and a re-
form in the administration of Indian
affairs is highly necessary, and they
polut W IIle pfeSeHG dHd1f DIS pfOol.
There has not been an Indian in the
post who has said that the present is a
time for war, o has any such state
ment been heard by any of the four
teen correspondents at Pine Ridge now.
Fort Meade is believed to be the
prospective seat of battle. The prev
alent belief is that the ga%rrisoning of
that fort with other soldiers to replace
those elsewhere portends a movement
into the reservation about the same
time that the Pine Ridge troops are
expected for the good of their coun-
try and the people at large to do some
thing. Troop H, of the Eighth cav
airy, which has been p~atrolling the
Belle Fourche river, has been ordered
back to Fort Meade.

An Opinion on the Indian Scare.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Colonel
Thomas NJ. Vincent, assistant adiutant
general, United States army, now on
duty at army headquarters IN this city,
was for many years stationed on the
frontier and among the Indians who
r giving SO much trouble at
Standing Rock and Pine Ridge agen-
cies, My experience with my red
brethren, " remarked Colonel Vincent,
demonstrated pretty clearly that the
Indians are fond of Dragging, and
especially when they see that it has
any effect upon the pale face. Agent
Roger at Pine Ridge seems to have been
somewhat d~emoralized by the exciting
scene which t%ranspired in the vicinity
of the agency and allowed himself to
be victimized by the Indians and hence
his kilograms to the Indian department.
For my part 1 was inclined to treat the
matter pretty much as the usual scare
until reports ere received from Agent
Mclaughlin and then matters begunto
assume a more serious aspect, owing to
his experience and long residence
among them. Mclaughlin is a pretty
good judge Of the Indian character,
and when he sounded the alarm it was
time to heed it. But he had a remedy,

Death of August Belmont.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-August Bel
mont, the great banker, influential
democrat and worthy citizen, is dead.
He passed away quietly, surrounded
by his sorrowing family, at his home,
100 Fifth
Mr.. Belmont had been i'll but Il few
days. His sickness was the result of
a cold caught at the Madison Square
garden during the horse show. Mr..
Burdett-C outs, who had been invited
over from England to act as q judge
in making the final awards, failed to
appear, and Mr.. Belmont, who was
one of the best American experts in
horse flesh, was asked to take the
place. He did so and while engaged
in the work of making awards took
cold. 1t was not thoughtto be serious
at first, but pneumonia was developed
and he was confined to his house. It
was not until Thursday or Friday that
the physicians became alarmed and a
consultation was had between Prof.
LOOMS and DR.. j.. NJ, Polk, and DR..
Polk remained with the patient during
the night.
The end came at 8 o'clock in the
morning, Mrs. Belmont, her daughter,
Mrs. S. S. Rowland, and the three
sons, Perry, August, jr., and Oliver,
being at the bedside of the dying hus-
band and father.
On the plate glass door of the bank
ing establishment of August Belmont
& Co., IN the first floor of % Nassau
street, this legend appeared: CLOSED
on account of the death of Mr.. Bel
mont"
This was the first intimation to the
street that the greattinancier had gone,
and it was soon the principal topic OF
conversation. Although the notice
announced that the banking house was
closed, its doors were not in fact shut.
Inside was Walther, Luttgen, the junior
partner of the firm, and all of the
clerks, bookkeepers and other en-
ployes. No business was transacted,
however, beyond what was absolutely
necessary, for eve the death of a great
%fnancier cannot interrupt the course |
of all financial operations.
MIR. Luttgen said that the death of
Mr.. Belmont had been so sudden and
unexpected that he had not recovered
from the shock which its announce
ment had caused and he did not care
to talk about it.

what that policy has been.

Politics In New York.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Fassett of New York, who is here on
his way south, tells some interesting
gossip about politics in New York
state. He says that Governor Hill can
be United States senator or can be re-
elected governor or can have the New
York delegation at the democratic pres
idential convention in 1892, and he
thinks that he will decide to take the
senatorship with a view to having
something permanent in case he fails
to be elected president. If Hill de-
cides not to take the s~enatorship he
will elect Smith NJ. Weed in his PLACE.

Failure of Potter, lowell & %.

Boston, Aug. 2S.-A news agency here
says of the reported Potter, Lowell s. Co.
failure: The business of the house was
largely the sale of commercial paper. 1t an
nually handled from S40,0O0,000 to $4,000
600 commercial paper. 1t was not a Dor
rover upon its own name or an endorser of
the paper it passed, therefore its outstand-
ing liabilities are secured by commercial
paper. During the past ten days it has been
calIed upon and met S1,200,000 call loans on
money borrowed to advance on paper be-
fore sales were made. The success of the
firm induced outside ventures by Walter
Potter, mostly in Texas, in connection with
Chicago and London parties, and in these a
fortune is probably locked up. Walter Pot
ter declined assistance. He says if people
will pay their debts to him he will pay all
his, but he will not borrow to carry his
mercantile associates
| Walter Potter says no failures of conse-
quence are likely to follow on Potter,
Lowell & Co.'s assignment. The banks
will act literally in helping where money
is absolutely needed by firms that are
solvent. The business amounted tc
$50, 600 600 last year. Potter declines tc
state the amount of the liabilities, direct OF
| indirect, before the assignee makes his re
port. Evidence is coming to light that the
real cause OF the suspension dates back t.
the big Shaw failure.
