Will Buy More Bonds.

dom left this evening for WILLIAMSON,

amount of $16,OOO,0OO, proposals to be
received at the treasury department in
Washington Wednesday next at noon.
These bonds the secretary will purchase
if a reasonable price is asked for them.
At the same time Secretary Window will
offer to prepay for three-fourths of a
year interest on currency Is.
Secretary Window said it was not
usual for statements of the above kind
to be made before they emanated officially
from Washington City, but owing to the
anxiety of so many of the business COM
munity to know what was going to be
done by the treasury department, he
thought it best to announce beforehand,
although it was Sunday, his intentions.
In an interview with Tribune report
er last evening Secretary Window said
[ frequently hear it asked, "Why
doesn't the treasury do something?" and
[ beg to tell you in answer that from
the foundation of the government until
recently no such radical measures have
ever been adopted as during the last
thirty days; and let me state further,
that as result $34,O00,O0O has been
paid out for the purchase of bonds and
the payment of interest within twenty
three days, and during that time Sl9,-
100000 has been paid out IN pensions,
making $53,OG0,0O0 paid out for these
three items alone within twenty-three
daps. The receipts in the same time
haye not been over $30,000,O0O.
WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 14.-In &C
cordance with the statement by Secretary
Window, in New York to-day, the treas
ury department has issued notice that

CREAM OF NEWS.
Accented the Situation.

Willis Mcknight, col, who was
sentenced to II years imprisonment in
the penitentiary, at the last term of
court, for manslaughter, decided after
further consideration to accept the
sentence, and was taken TO Frankfort
by Sheriff West Tuesday.
Trouble at Crofton.
Last Saturday viii and Henry
Matheney, brothers, brought on a
difficulty with Frank O'Stein at Croft
ton, by abusive language and other
uncouth treatment. 0'Stcin finally
bcroming enraged proceeded to whip
them both, and was in fair way with
his work when VIII Matheney drew a
pistol and made an effort to shoot.
q. A. West, who was present, prevent
ed him from shooting O'Stein, but in
the scufile which ensued, was shot in
the right hand himself. The wound
is only slight one. The Matheneys
were arrested, tried at once, and the
former was given seventy days in the
work house. The latter was given
ten days in the same institution.
O'Stein was allowed to 20 free. Mar
shall Higgins brought the prisoners
10 the city in the afternoon. They
made break for liberty ON their ar
rival here but were captured in few
minutes.
An Alleged Confession.
The Greensboro Messenger pub
fishes a sensational story to the effect
that Jas. M. Doss, patient from
Muhlenberg in the Western Asylum,
had confessed to two mysterious muir
ders. One was alleged TO be tho kill
ing of man named Hanlin in 1884
and the other of a widow named
Martha Peevler in 1887, both at Cen
trail City. The Messenger says Doss
recovered his mind and concluded to
make full confession. Investigation
yesterday showed that there is but
little If any truth in this story. Jas,
M. Doss, young man 30 years old,
from Muhlenberg county, was received
in the Asylum Feb. 81, last. He was
then and is now very crazy and is
considered dangerous at times. He
has made no confession Of any kind
to the officers. He has written but
one letter and that to man at Kirk
Evansville named Jack Rowe. II is
not likely that this letter contained
any such confession, In a trouble
years ago Doss slew another boy, his
schoolmate, and brooding over this is
one thing that dethroned his reason.
There is no other foundation for the
Messengers story. aiiJ u

Hon. Henry Watterson will deliver
his lecture ON the above subject at the
Opera House next Thursday evening
OF it the Louisville Times says:
Mr.. Watterson's lecture, last night
at Macauley's Theatre, was character
istic of the man, 1t presented a great
thought, with force, and pleaded for a
great reform with poetry, with senti-
ment, with humor, with pathos. Some
of the highest flights o! eloquencc
were attained, and the illustrations
now homely, now classic--would have
been the supremest' triumph of the
actor had they not been the ebullition
Of the genius that is peculiarly Mr.
Watterson's.
The opening passage, apostrophizing
the North American continent, was as
grand, as poetic, as classic, as Sy-
mond's tribute to the English drama,
while the mingled charity, humor and
pathos with which he dealt with the
frailties Of the Canadian colonists,
might have been written by Dickens,
Tho reference to Switzerland and the
heroic struggle against Charles the
Rash, was enough to make old Arnold
Biederman's spirit laugh as Sarah
laughed, that one American should
be found to utter such words in an
age and in country that are espec-
tally Mammon's.
The lecture was heartily enjoyed by
the largest and most critical audience
that has appeared at Macauley's
for years, and the reception of the
lecturer amounted to an ovation.

THE SAxTON BILL.
Governor Hnrs Communication
from Albany.

Governor Hill's Communication-New
from Albany.
ALBANY, March 26-Governor Hill has
sent to the legislature a communication, in
which he commends the objects which the
Saxton ballot reform bill processes to ac-
complish, but expresses his belief that the
bill is not constitutional, and refuses to sign
it in its present condition. He recommends
that joint resolution be passed by the leg
islature respectfully requesting the court of
appeals first and second divisions) to con-
vene at their earliest possible convenience
for the purpose of examining this measure
and expressing their opinions informally as
to the constitutonality of the provisions
thereof.
The governor intimates that he will ap-
prove the bill if the court of appeals declares
it constitutional.
The senate and assembly both sent the
communication to their respective judiciary
committees by party votes.
In the senate Senator Hawkins spoke
against the Jamaica bay fish bill, which he
characterized as an invasion of home rule.
Mr.. Stadler said that the people of Long
Island favored the bill with the exception
of eight men, who by their nets were de-
stroying the fishing in Jamaica bay. The
newspapers of the state also favored the bill.
Mr.. Hawkins denied that the fish caught
in Jamaica bay were used as fertilizers.
The bill was for few against many-rich
against poor. Fish is a natural food of men,
and the catch should not be regulated In
the proposed manner. Nets are not set for
menhaden in Jamaica bay. He spoke long
and earnestly on the matter.
Mr.. OConnor said that ID, 900 persons had
petitioned for the bill.
Mr., Hawkins said that Commissioner
Blackford held that sea fishing with lines
was not improved by prohibiting nets In
Raritan bay.
Mr. Stadler stated that the fsh commits
sion favored the bill. The bill was ordered
to third reading.

BIsMARcK,s SUCCESSOR.
A Sketch of the New Chancellor, Gen.
Won CoprIxi

Won Capriyi.
BERLIN, March 2l.-The gossip concern
ing Prince Bismarck's successor as chancel.
lor has been quickly silenced by the ap.
pointment of Gen. Won Caprivi. The np-
pointment is generally regarded as an ex-
cellent one. He is able, firm and well liked,
and is in thorough harmony with the views
and policy Of the emperor 1t isnow recalled
that the new chancellor has had frequent
conferences with the kaiser Of late, which
fact gives rise to the belief that the
resignation of Prince Bismarck wns not un-
expected by the emperor but was surpris-
ing only in its not having been presented to
his ma jesty earlier. II is not believ, d that
any marked changes in the policy OF Prince
Bismarck will be made for the present at
least The office will not, however, include
the direction of the foreign ministry as
during Prince Bsmarck's chnncpllorship
chancellor, called into office by the empero r
through the suddenness Of Prince Bismarcks
resignation. The general is the son of Prvy
Councillor Caprivi, was born Feb. "A, 1881,
and named Leo Won Caprivi de Caprara de
Montecuculi. He entered the kaiser Franz
guards regiment in 1S49, rose in rank with
the usual regularity until in 1878 und was
commander of an infantry brigade at Stet-
tin; in 1883 was promoted to be lieutenant
general and commander of the Thirtieth
army division at Metz In 1888 the old
kaiser made him chief Of admiralty, nt the
same ii me roCr admiral Of the new German
navy. In 1882 when the naval administra-
tion was reorganized, Gen. Caprivi was re-
stored to the army and given the comm and
of the Tenth army corps, with headquarters
at Hanover

The sherins once Denounced,

NEW York, March 26-The grand jury
came into part l, general sessions, at II 80
o'clock, and handed long presentment to
Judge Fitzgerald. In it the sherff's office
is characterized as a disgrace to the city
and shame to civilization. The present
nsnt states that it finds that the sheriff Of
New York county, after paying all expenses
as to suits and other matters, has an income
Of more than $4,000 a year. 1t declares
that the sheriff's Office is and has been cor
rupt; that for the purpose of gaining some
advantage inconsistent with official honesty
the rights of others have been sacrificed
and the sheriff's Office has been prostituted
The conduct Of the sheriff's office has been
msrcsnary, slovenly and wholly indecent,
and the jury recommend that the legisla-
ture make the Office a salsried one, with
salary suitable TO 1t and to its high response
