THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
President Harrison Taking a Deep In
terest In It,

tereSt In 1t.
CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 12.-That
the president is taking deep interest in
the financial situation, is shown by the
fact that he devoted nearly two hours
this afternoon to telegraphic correspon-
dence with Secretary Window, at
Williamstown. Mass, and Assistant
Secretaries Batcheller and Nettleton at
Washington, as to the best means of re-
lieving the present stringency in the
money market. One of the results
of the conference was an order
for the payment of interest aggregating
$5,000,000 ON currency skies. and for
an advance in rate for four per cent
bonds to $l.25. Another question con-
sidered was the propriety OF suggesting
an extension of bonded imports under
the proposed new tariff law, but no
conclusion was reached on this point
The latest advices received by the presi-
dent were to the effect that money was
easier at the close of business, and the
outlook more favorable.
President and Mrs. Harrison took a
long drive this afternoon.

IN THE SENATE.
Argument on the Railroad Land Grant
Forfeiture Bill.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-In the senate
today a number of minor bills were
taken from the calendar and passed.
The conference report on the railroad
land forfeiture bill was taken up, and
Morgan continued his argument in op-
position to it, !.
Morgan was followed by Sanders in
favor OF the conference report, the main
point of his contention being that
the lands actually patented to railroad
companies could not be taken from
them because they turned out to be min
eral lands.
Hearst took contrary view, and in
sisted that mineral lands were specially
reserved by the original grants.
Sanders said in the courts OF Washing
ton, California, and the supreme court
of the United States, the term mineral
lands" had been held to mean lands
commercially valued for mining pur-
poses.
Without concluding his argument,
Sanders yielded for executive session,
and the senate soon adjourned.

A Lively Hause,

THE present republican house has
brought to close session of unexampled
legislative activity" says the Union. Ac-
'tivity is no name for it. II was a howl
ing menagerie. With Reed locking up
the members, and with the members
kicking their way out again; with the
speaker and the clerks counting hats and
cloaks for a quorum; with republican
membe5Sr engaged in free for all fight
on the floor OF the house; with the ser
gesnt at arms out of breath and nearly
hesrt-broken trying to arrest the law
breakers; with republican members CALI
ing each other liars and scoundrels and
daring each other to come on; with re-
publican house calling q republican sena-
tor branded criminal and other fitting
names; with Dingley, of Maine, going
about with his nose in sling from the
frantic efforts of another member trying
to escape from Reed; with appeals to the
members to 90 home at once else their
hopes of reelection were gone, and with
the speaker securing the country for
members to come back again to make up
a quorum; with bowling mob shreking
themselves hoarse for monopolists to hold
the public animal while they themselves
skinned it; with all this going on and
much more of like circus nature 1t
should be remarked that there was some
ctivity. 1t was Roman hippodrome;
sight for the gods.

Makes Big Mistake.
WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, Oct. 6-John
Dolier is serving n sentence at Waupun
for crime of which he is not only inno-
cent, but of which he was convicted only
through the misinterpretation of an act
truly humane. He was arrested and SEN
fenced on the complaint of John Bodie, of
Sault Ste. Marie, who charged him with
living with Bodies wife. At the trial it
was proved that Mrs Bodie and her six
children were beiLg saeported by Dollier,
and the husband swore that the woman
had deserted him. On the surface it was
a bad case against Dollier, and, as he
lacked counsel, he was convicted.
Deserted and Destitute.
The husband promptly disappeared
after the trlal and the matter was lost
of until Saturday, when a case of destitu-
ton was brought to the notice of the
authorities. The old story of mans IN
kindness and want of charity from her
own sex had been brought TO the expert
ence of Mrs. Brodie. She had managed
to exc out an existence by the aid of two
of her children until overtaken by sick
ness. Her rent was npaid and she was
turned into the street with her little ones
and took refuge in a she'd where Satur-
day she was found in n precariouS conli
tian by some one charitably inclined.
The Truth at Last Comes Out.
In a statement made by Mrs Bodie Sat
urday she told of the desertion of her
husband six years ago and how she was
rescued from starvation by Dollier; of her
husbands return and the abuse she had
to stand until his final desertion; how
Dollier had removed To this city in the
meantime, and now, as a last resource and
because the farm she had lived on was
sold by her rascally husband, she ap-
pealed to Dollier for aid and he had
brought herself and family here and
placed her in n position to earn her own
livelihood. Her husband then appeared
and because she refused TO support him
instituted the proceedings against Dollier.
