UNITED STATES SENATE,


Washington, April 6, 1891.
Sir:-Considerations entirely per-
sonal lead me to tender to you as the
governor of the state of Vermont my
resignation of the office of senator of
the United States, the resignation to
take effect on the first day of Novem-
ber, A. D. 1891.
This action has been for some time
in contemplation and is finally decided
on, and communicated to you at this
time in order that there may be ample
time to hear and consider the views of
the people of our state in respect to
the selection of my successor.
In thus terminating my official re-
lations with the state, beg to express
to her steadfast, intelligent and pat
riotic citizens my profound gratitude
for the long and unwavering confid-
ence and support they have given me
Covering an eventful period of a
quarter of century, in my efforts to
promote and defend, Sc far as / have
been able, their honor and welfare in
common with that of all the people of
the United States
In ceasing to be senator, / am
proud that | continue to be citizer
of our beloved commonwealth, and
that l may with my fellowcitizens il
private life continue to strive for those
principles of liberty, equity and justice
in government which have, without
the shadow of turning, animated then
from the foundation of the republic.
l am, sir, very respectfully yours,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.

''Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
In the specimen shown us by Mr.. George
w. Cruikshank the little oak tree was
growing right through the heart of an
oyster shell. Whether the sprouting
acorn had pierced the shell, or some acci-
dental hand had bored the convenient ori-
flee through which it might sprout, the
deponent saith no@. But certain it is the
sturdy little oak had penetrated the crust
of the impeding bivalve.-Cecil (Md.)

to lend my influence to any Patent Medicine what

mands that | should write and tell you of the
wonderful effects of DANA's sARsAPARILLA
in my own family.
Some four years ago my little daughter began to
show symptoms of Scrofula, which in short

that tested my skill to its utmost extent. used
the most reliable specifics known to Materia
Medica. l consulted with other physicians, but,
despite all could do, saw that she was failing
day by day.
AT this time bottle of DANA'S came into my
hands, and knowing of several cures performed by
it, decided to try it in my little daughters case;
but assure you | had but little faith. l com
menced to give it in small doses, diluted with
water, and to my surprise and great joy, in less
than a toeek she began to Improve, and continued
to do so very rapidly. Two bottles built the

brought her across all right. In fact CURED her.

spokane National Bank Litigation.

PORTLAND, Aug. lo.-lspeeiall-A case out of
the usual style now before Judge Deadly in the
United States circuit court here, is that of II. l.
Chase, receiver OF the Spokane National bank,
against the Merchants National bank, OF this
city. The firm at Spokane drew a draft for
$1,000 on Seattle merchant in favor of another
Spokane firm The latter firm sent the draft to the
Spokane National to be forwarded TO Seattle for
collection This was done, and the Seattle bank Sc
cured Its acceptance. A few days afterwards the
Spokane National ordered that the acceptance be
sent to the Merchants National bank here,
which was done. The Spokane bank owed the
Merchants bank about $4,000 and on the 18th OF
last December tho latter pressed the former TO
make good its overdraft, and the Spokane bank
charged up TO the Merchants bank the 5000 ac-
ceptance. The Merchants let the matter run
aud on December II the Spokane bank failed.
In January the money was paid and now Re-
ceiver Hall claims that the creditors OF the bank
are emitted to the $4,000, while the Merchants
bank claims it is entitled 10 apply the money on
the debt Of the spokane bank.

TO PUT DOWN CHINESE RIOTS.
The Governments Orders That Mob Lead
ers Have Their Heads Removed.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 10.-The department
of state has received q copy of an imperial de-
cree of China, issued June II last. In it is en-
bodied this order:
Let the governor general and the governors OF
Iiang Kiang, Hi Kwong, Kang Su, Auhui and
Hopek issue with out delay orders to the CIVIL
and military officers under their respective
jurisdictions to cause the arrest OF leaders
of riots, try them and infiict capital
punishment upon them as warning
aud example. The doctrine of Christianity has
for its purpose the teaching of men to be good.
Chinese converts and subjects of China are
amenable TO the local authorities. Let the
Tartar generals, governor generals and gov
errors issue prociamations warning the people
not to listen to idle rumors or false reports
which lead to trouble.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 10.-Assistant Secre-
tary Solely is arranging to augment our strength
in China as rapidly and as effectively as pos
sible. He said last evening that q scheme had
been prepared affording some additional assist
ance to Admiral Belknap, but declined to give
any further information than that instructions
went by an Alaskan steamer from San Francisco
Saturday for the Marion to proceed at
once from Bering sea to China. From
other sources 1t Is learned that the
steamer from San Francisco also carried instruc-
tons for the Alert to follow the Marion to the
scene of the trouble. The Marion is to leave at
once ON receipt of the orders. The instructions
to the Alert are also of an urgent nature, but
her commanding officer is clothed with au-
tbority to remain longer in Boring sea IL her
presence Is imperatively demanded. 1t Is fully
expected, however, that both vessels viii reach
Shanghai early in September. 1t is not improb-
able that the Charleston, now at Mare Island,
may also be ordered to join the Asiatic station,
but she could not reach Marking during the
first week in September, when it is predicted q
crisis will be reached

case against Marshal Sheriff.. A number OF
dilatory and technical motions were made by
Attorney Curry for the defense, but they were

moved for a change of venue, but
this also was denied. Every one now
thought that the witnesses who had
been summoned would be examined,
but they were doomed to disappointment, as
the attorney for the defense waived examina-
ton and the justice bound the marshal over in
the sum of $500 to appear before the superior
court.
