felt that a United States senator ought
not to be chairman Of the national com

colleagues resisted this, and persuaded
him not to resign. He renewed tie wish
three months afterwards, and about the
time of the Inauguration insisted upon 1t.

Passengers who take the 2 o'clock car
on Walnut street every morning enjoy a
decidedly novel treat, through the kind
ness of the driver, a policeman and a
baker. The car passes a bakery at a GER
tain hour, and just before it gets opposite
the door policeman standing near whis-
ties shrilly, the grating is raised and a
flour busted arm hands out a hot loaf of
bread. This the policeman hands to the
driver, whose invariable form of thanks
consists of the words, "God bless you,
old man." Then the driver ties the lines
around the brake, enters the car, and di-
vides the bread with the passengers.
There were eight solemn looking passen-
gers in the car on a recent morning, and
a man getting aboard at the Baltimore
and Ohio depot was visibly astonished
when he saw every one of them MUNICH
ing hot bread and talking politics.-Phil-

LONDON. July 20.-While it is too soou
yet TO conclude that the late arrival of the
southwest monsoon rains in India will
result in a failure of crops anything like
so extensive as that which occurred in the
years lS76-TS in Il portion of Madras,

particular districts affected the autumn
crops will not be reaped, simply because
they have not been sown. Over most of
the area covered BY the monsoon rains in
India. the practice is to prepare the land.
but to withhold the seed until the rains
have fallen or northeast have begun to
fall. 1t is now too late to SOW for tie
autumn crops, and nothing is left for the
unfortunate cultivators but to await the
winter rains. The next harvest can not
be expected until the beginning of 1892.
The food grains produced in Madras are
confined to millet and rice, GA per cent
of the former and 80 per cent of the
latter being the proportions usually
crown. Both of these, rice especially re-
auire abundant moisture. The total cul-
tivated area of the Madras presidency is
about %, 900, 900 acres, of which more
than i,ovJ.OOO ACRES are Watereu lrUm
irrigational canals, tanks and wells. These
are always secured against rainfall, but
the remainder IS affected b, the failure of
the summer rains. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the Indian government will
have to deal with famine in a more or
less acute form over a great portion Of
Madras. Bengal has received a fair
amount of rain, although it is lighter than
usual and the country Immediately around
Bombay has been well watcred. From
the interior of western India the reports
vary, some portions having a moderate
amount of rain, while in other parts little
or no rain has fallen.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2O.-Anothcr
story of queer finanriering am out to.
day. The National Bank OF the Repub-
lie, Of New York, recently entered suit
here against Ephraim Turland, to re-
cover the amount due on IA certain prom
issory note, of which Turland was the
maker. In the affidavit OF the defense
filed today, Turland says he never re-
ceived any value Of any kind from the
note. it having been obtained from him
by fraud and misrepresentation on the
part of President Kennedy, of the Spring
Garden bank. At the time of the money
stringency he was one of the directors OF
the bank, which has pince failed. and
Kennedy represented to him that owing
to the stringency of the money market the
bank was n borrower of cash temporarily
from the clearing house until their assets
matured, and in view of this tact it would
be wise to strengthen loaLs by the deposit
of special commercial paper, and Tor this
purpose Turland made the note IN ques-
ton and several more on kennedy's prom
Use that the paper would be protected at
maturity and returned. Turland goes on
to say that he now knows that the bank
at the time was fraudulentlv %lnsolvent;
that Kennedy and two other directors had
borrowed $3.50, 900 of the capital stock OF
the bank and, in conclusion, hat the
books of the bank were crimlnally ialsified
to deceive the bank examiner.
