SAN Francesca. Dec. %. 1891.


POLITICAL,
Stephen b. Elkins OF West Virgil
MIA has been appointed Secretary of
War by President Harrison and the
revives the story about
Il bargain between the President and
Secretary Blaine, by which the for
mer was to appoint Elkins and the
latter was to write a letter positively
refusing to allow his name TO be used
as candidate for the Presidency.
The story has been widely repeated
but is not generally believed. Secre-
tary Blaine would hardly regard
fourteen months of Mr.. Elkins in
the War Department as a complete
stand-off for a possible four years
in the White House for himself. 1t
is rather believed that the admission
of EIkins to the Cabinet is partly the
seal of an alliance between Harrison
and Blaine for such ends as may
seem best hereafter-partly an adj
ministratlon solid with the "boys'
and partly the sign of a determine
ton to detach West Virginia from
the Solid South. Harrison is trying
to gain favor in Democratic territory
by appointing Golf as Circuit Judge
one day and rendering Elkins the
war portfolio next. The appoint
ment will have powerful effect in
healing the scars of the Democratic
Speakership contest. Many of the
independent supporters of Mills flung
themselves into the fight so ardently
that the election of Crisp almost
throws them out of the party. Ell
kins' appointment gives them a
chance to get back with dignity. The
New England Republicans are as
melancholy over the success of Ell
kins as the New England Democrats
were over the defeat of Mills.
The New York Mail and Express
Washington special says: The APP
pointment of Elkins does not in any
way affect the use or non-use of
Blaine's name for the Presidential
nomination.
The National Prohibition Conven-
ton will meet in St. Louis on June
10Th, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States. The
contest was between Cleveland, Gin
cinnati and St. Louis, and it was de-
cided on the twelfth ballot.
News from London says Michael
Davitt, the famous Irish leader, was
seriously wounded during a riot at
Waterford city Dec. 10 Davitt and
Vim. O'Brien had gone there to sup
port the candidature of Mr.. Keane,
nominee of the McCarthyites, for the
seat in Parliament made vacant by
the death of Richard Power. The
riot was the most vicious of any
political row that has recently at
tended the discussions in Irish towns
of the rival leaders. Davitt received
a bad cut in the forehead and Tan
ner and others were injured by stones.
Davitt's blood was aroused by what
had occurred and he informed the
committee that he had changed his
mind and that if they still wanted
him for a candidate he would accept
it. Despite his injuries he is still in
the political field The McCarthyite
leaders have determined that Keane
should be withdrawn from the con-
test and that Dlvitt himself should
stand.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Senate is getting in some very
good work and seems to be trying to
accomplish as much as possible be-
fore the holidays. In one day 612
bills and eight joint resolutions were
presented. Among them was one by
Plumb to provide for the retirement
of national bank notes and the free
coinage of silver. He introduced the
same bill last year.
Dolph introduced bill appropri-
ating 81 100000 to establish gun
factory on the Pacific Coast, also to
continue in force the Chinese Exclu.
sion Act of October, 1888, with an
amendment requiring Chinese illegal
ly in the United States to be removed
to China.
Congressman Geary of California
is to Introduce bill for the complete
exclusion of Chinese from the United
States. In this bill he will favor no
class; will provide a system of iden-
LITIGATION that will prevent fraud;
will suspend the habeas corpus and
establish system by which Chinese
will be prevented from crossing the
boun laries of the United States by
land. Congressman Loud also pre-
sents bill to absolutely prohibit the
coming of Chinese into the United
States, whether subjects of the Chi
nese Empire or otherwise.
Speaker Crisp in letter to Mr..
Mills last Friday asked if it would
be agreeable or acceptable to him to
be appointed second on the Commit
tee of Ways and Means and in addi-
ton to be appointed Chairman of the
Committee on Commerce, or Postof
fees, or some committee whose work
was less laborous than those named.
Mr.. Miller said in his reply: "EIav-
ing been a member on the Committee
of Ways and Means for ten years
and its Chairman in the Fftieth Con-
gress, the reasons which have, in
your judgment, rendered my Chair
manship unwise would disqualify me
for service in any other place on that
committee, and 1t would not be sin
cere to say that II would be agreeable

The Next. Cruise of the American and

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.--The CORE
Spondent of The Examiner, at Ouna-
laska, writes under date of Aug. that
during a cruise in the vicinity of the
seal islands her majesty's ship Pheasant
had seen and warned five sealers, the
United States steamer Mohican five, the
Thetis two and the Alert two. Many Of
those had to be fired on to make them
halt, and only one schooner succeeded in
getting away.
About Fifty Warmed.
AS about fifty schooners have received
warning, the next cruise of the warships
will result more seriously to poachers if
caught in Behring sea. The Thetis and
the others were due to sail at the time

the British seem to be in no hurry.
On July % the Corwin ordered the

promised to do so. A few minutes after,
however, three rifle shots were heard on
the Ethel and boat from the Corwin

this evidence the schooner was seized.
Her captain claims that one of the crew

now in the custody of the marines. She
had taken fCrty-eight skins on the day
before the seizure and had 1873 in ALL
Next week the steamer Aeki will be

Lieutenant Tyler, of the United States
navy, will command the La Nymph,

Her majesty's ship Porpoise has ar
rived here from the China station and
each nation now has three war ships
here in addition to the United States
cutters. So far the cutters have taken
all the prizes.

HANCOCK 50 NOTES.
The Circulation stopped ON Account of 4
Good Counterfeit

Good Counterfeit
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The treasury
is about out of 80 notes, and as this form
of money is the most popular style that
it produces, it is rather serious dilemma
that it is now facing. This is particu-
larly true under the circumstances that
surround the department just now In
the matter of 81 silver certificates. 1t is
hoped, however, that the trouble will
soon be averted, and steps have already
been taken to that end.
Some months ago it was discovered
that there was most dangerous coun-
terfeit on the market, so accurate re-
production of the Hancock" 80 note
having been made by outside parties
that copies of it were passed in banks
and other places where expert eyes usu-
ally detect n bad piece of money at a
glance There was 80 little difference
between the genuine and the counter
felt that the treasury department decid-
ed to call in the issue as far as possible
and to stop its production.
Accordingly orders to this effect were
given, and there have been no new Han
cock notes put out for long time. In
the meantime work has been pushed on
a new note that had been projected and
devised some time before the detection
of the counterfeit, but for some reason
or other it did not progress as fast as
usual, and the time came the other day
when the stock Of old Hancocks ran out
and it was absolutely necessary to have
some bills. The deL Lartment was seri-
ously embarrassed.
1t did not want to put out any of the
old notes, because there was Just as
much reason for their withdrawal as
ever since the bad plates had not been
captured. But 1t became necessary for
a new issue of So certificates to be sent
out, as the demand was growing large
for them and as a last resort it was
finally decided to run the risk of afford
ing the counterfeiters another chance to
play their game, and orders were sent
to the bureau of engraving and printing
to turn out an issue of 100000 sheets of
Hancock notes, amounting to 1000, 900
bills or - 900, 900. WoN on these
notes has been begun and in few days
the new notes will begin to appear, and
it is hoped that this lot will tide the de-
partment over the difficulty.

Evil. ofPauper Immirratiop,

LONDON, Aug. 14.-In the demogrsphy
division of the hygienic congress Mr.
Mayhem Smith, of America, SPOKE on
the difficulty experienced in the United
States in consequence of the large
amount of undesirable pauper immigra-

United States, he said, also occasioned
difficulty. These emigrants were most
ly French Canadians, who worked for
lower wages than the natives. They
were very economical In living, saved
money in few years, and then returned
TO Canada.

A Rome dispatch says the British and

objects, and it is said that Lieutenant
Mashkoff has given the Abyssinians in.

and has given the Italians to understand
that their interference in Abyssinian
affairs will not be tolerated, and that he
has found new friend in Russia, of the
existence of which country he seems be-
fore to have been unaware.

British Trade,

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The returns of the
board of trade indicate that there is u
serious falling off in the exports in the
British iron and steel trade to America,
the Argentine Republic and the Eu-
ropean continent. The prices Of tin
plate have been maintained up to the
present by a comparatively large influx
of home orders for prompt delivery,
that keeping the demand up to the pres
sent supply. The home trade, together
with many foreign customers, has been
waiting for cessation of the American
demand in the hope of then securing
lower prices; but this condition of
things not having come about instantly,
as the dealers rather anxiously expected,
their necessities have compelled them to
order at once, and hence the tone of the
market is kept up to reasonable pitch.
