The grounds of China's objection TO the
annolntment of Hon. II. w. Blair, of New
Hampshire, as Minister of the United
States 10 China. is undoubtedly found in
the following extracts from Page 1915 OF
Part 8. Volume 10, OF the Congressional
Record. Part of the debate in the United
States Senate, September Z, 1888

ton from the people, just % United States
senators were TO be chosen.
The word appoint" as used in tho con-
sfitutional provision above quoted was not
employed in the restricted sense In which
Il Is now generally employed. We pre-
sumo, however, that the trainers OF the
Constitution intended II TO be used as
synonymous with both the word "appornt !"
and the word elect" as these two words
are now employed.
Anyhow, the Michigan Legislature has
passed bill providing that In that State
two OF the electors (the senatorial electorsl
shall be chosen by the State ct large, ana
tho others by electoral districts. The In
tention OF the originators of the scheme Is
TO divide the electoral vote Of Michigan
between the two parties instead OF giving
ell Of 1t to one party. II the bill becomes
law, the result In o closely-contested
election might be the choice of Presi-
dent Of the United States by the few elect
ors secured to either party under the ope-
ration OF the new law. In 1915, under the
working Of the electoral-commission law
HAYES received 1856 votes and TIDrs lS4.
So in any election so cloee as that OF 1916
the votes secured TO either party under
The new law of Michigan might hold the
balance Of power. II would make no dif-
ference If minority President were
chosen. BBrCKIxsIDoE and BELL received
in 1890 many hundreds OF thousands more
votes than did LINCOLN. .
1t was not intended by the trainers OF
the Constitution that there should De any
division of the electors into classes. NO
electors were intended TO be known as
senatorial" electors.
Up TO the year 1850 in the State OF South
Carolina the electors Of President and
vice-President Of the Omitted States were
chosen by the Legislature. There IS no
constitutional objection in the way OF
choosing electors in the same manner IN
any State.
The power of the electoral college OF
New York is great because she elects
thirty-six electors of President and VICE
President, all pledged to the support OF
one candidate. She would be shorn OF
much Of her influence in national conven-
tions and in the choosing of the President
If the members of her electoral college
were to divide their votes among the seve-
raj candidates.
The example of Michigan may possibly
be followed by other States, but not IN
time TO influence the result of the election
for President next year. There is, how
ever, not much probability that any State
which is decidedly Republican or decided
" Democratic will be anxious to divide It's
votes between the several candidates
Michigan is Republican State which has
fallen for once into Democratic hands.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The following pay
ments have been made by the Treasury
Department up TO April 30th under the act
Of March 2, 1891, to reimburse the States
and Territories the amount OF the direct
tax levied under the act of August 5,
1861: Arkansas, Sl56,2 2; California
S7o, 'i7 Illinois. ss5s,7sl; Indiana,

Tennessee, S392,el2. Total. O, 2s2, 1896.
The Treasury Department to-day made
the first purchase of silver for the present
month The amount offered was $4,000
ounces. of which 10000 ounces were pur-
chased at e7.6a9S.4.
Secretary Foster, in speaking TO an As
ISOLATED Press reporter to-day, concerning
financial matters, said. that in his opinion,
the Government would be able to take
care of all its obligations, and that in adj
dition TO the S236. 000, 900 of bonds already
retired by this Administration, il would,
in his opinion, add considerable amount
in the two years that remain. Concerning
the 800, 00O, 900 legal-tender redemption
fund in the Treasury, the Secretary said
he did not expect that any condition OF
affairs would arise which would make it
necessary for the Government to touch it.
He intimated, however, that this fund
might be used without legislative action
in case of absolute necessity to prevent
any discredit to Government obligations.
The first step contemplated by Secre-
tary Foster for getting the subsidiary coin
now in the Treasury INTO circulation was
taken to-day, when the following notice,
signed by United States Treasurer Nebe-
ker, was prepared at the Treasury Depart
ment and will be sent to banks throughout
the United States:

lara authorized by the act of February 20,
1878, having been discontinued by the act
OF July IA, 1880, the Treasurer finds ID IN
convenient TO furnish them otherwise than
in redemption of silver certificates or
Treasury notes, but will forward silver
half dollars, quarter dollars, and dimes 10

gistered mail in packages of $40 in exchange

In Queensland 1.-THE cultivation of to-
bacco is still in its infancy, but with the
increase of experience on the part OF the
growers considerable extent of country
must inevitably be brought under crop,
large portions of the colony being admit
rably adapted for tobacco" In 1880 the
area of land under cultivation was 46 acres;
IN 1885 it was 1T acres; and in 1889. 266
acres. The gross produce during the same
years was 1880. 1881 cwt. 1885, 1880 cwt.;
and 1889, 1854 cwt. The average produce
per acre being: 1880, $50 cwt.; 1885, 11.37
cwt. and 1889, 9.52 cwt.
In $4,000 the area under tobacco Guilt
vation in Victoria embraced 955 acres, the
gross produce of leaf being 4,123 cwt.
These are the lowest returns for several
years past. as the following table will show:
