satcr piohihont hioSo-Hiesoiis', " the delegation announced by Salis- bury yesterday, to represent Great Britain at the international monetary conference. The appointments an nounced are considered unsatisfactory. Sir W. H. Houldsworth IS an ardent bimetallist, and MT. Currie, who is a member of the council of India, also has a leaning to bimetallism. Sir C. w. Freemantle was nominated solely on account of his official posi- ton at the mint, and will take no active part in tine conference.
 VIsALIA-It was reported this even- ing that the robbers shot and killed another officer, making their foarth victim. No details can be learned. A camp has been discovered near Mon son where the robbers prepared their dinner yesterday, while sheriff and ten men were within four miles. The mountaineers say it will be almost impossible to capture the robbers once they reach their old haunts, on samp- son flats.
 VIsALIA-A report was received here shortly before nine o'clock last even ing that Evans and Sontss, the train robbers, had returned from the noun taips and driven up to the Evans house near town, Officers are now on their way there.
 Wis ,LrA-rhe coroner resumed his inquest today on the body of Oscar Beaver, killed by the train robbers Friday night at Chris Evans house. Harvey Ward who lives twelve miles noI .h of this city, and who furnished the robbers with cart and a mule, testified that Chris Evans and John Sontag came to his house Saturday morning, between , and 6 o'clock and breakfast and team offer ing to pay for the same. The men were armed with double barrelled shotguns and six-snooters. Evans said he had shot man in Visalia.
 John Marsh, a stock raiser, testified that last Monday he saw Evaos and two other men on Nigger creek One man was named Young, the other he did not know. The men were on horseback and had four sacks on the horns of their saddles filledwith scme- thing.
 The jury returned a verdict that Beaver came to his death from gun shot wounds inflicted by Chris Evans and John Sontag.
 REEDLY, Cal-A messenger returned this evening from Sampson Flat on Pine Ridge 8 miles north of Reedly where Chris Evans has mining claim This is the point the robbers are sup posed 10 be headed for. It is now believed that the robbers are in the mountains. Three men riding gray, sorrel and dark bay horses, were seen at distance in the vicinity of Samp- son flat, and one is said to answer the description oi Evans. People through- out the foothills and mountains are aroused. All are on the lookout. The roads and trails are lined with men armed with revolvers rifles and knives.
 REEDLY, Cal-A telephone message has just been received from Orosi, in the foot hills, I2 miles from Reedly, which says the robbers are on Nigger Greek ten miles from Orosi and sur rourded by posse of over 90 armed men. There are no new developments but the officers are very sanguine, feeling confident of capture, if the des- peradoes get no further in the noun tains.

a Hitch in the Preparations for the
Sale of the First Site.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The treasury
department has been obliged to suspend the
preparations for the sale OF the old public
building site at Savannah, because when the
supervising architect came to prepare the
advertisements for it's sale he discovered
that the description Of it in the act of 1891
authorizing the sale was technically SO in
accurate that it could not be properly exc
cuted. So, in his annual report he will rec
ommend that congress pass an act amenda-
tory OF the act Of 1891 giving the description
Of the property as it should be.
He will not, however, keep the plans for the
new building waiting for this additional
legislation, but will proceed with them as
rapidly as the fact thar he has a great deal
more work to do than his Office force can
manage gwill permit He hopes to have
them ready SO work can be begun in the
spring he will recommend in his annual
report that congress appropriate 100000
to continue toe work on the new building
next year and the Secretary Of the Treasury
ia expected 10 make the same recommenda-
tion In transmitting the annual estimates
to c0uQrals.

COTTON VERY SHORT.

Reports from Mississippi in Line With
Those from other States.
CHARLESTON. s. c., Nov. 2O.-The latest
of the Netvs and Courier's special cotton
crop reports were received last night. They
confirm what has been previously said in
regard to the shortness of the crop. The
estimate of {, 1000, 900 bale crop seems fully
warranted by the figures given from Of
fetal sources.
The Vicksburg Herald responds to the in
quiries OF the NeUS and Courier and GAYS:
"Pickiug is well advanced and nearly com
pleted in the uplands, and the fields are un-
usually bare in the lowlands. Cotton is
coming forward very freely. There is not
an average crop anywhere, estimates being
from one-third 60 two-thirds of an ordinary
crop In all localities reporting"
The Vioksburg Commercial Herald says:
"OpInions here lean wholly to the belief
that the bulk of the crop has been gathered,
the hill crop almost entirely, that the
planters, as a rule, or not Withholding ship
ments or sales, being in no condition to do
80, and that a large percentage of the crop
has come into sight. The yield is uni
versslly short in this state. The reports
from the parishes of North Louisi-
ana are, If anything more discouraging
1t may be said incidentally the crop In
Mississippi is Variously estimated at from
half TO two-thirds of an average crop, or
from 800 900 to 100000 bales All the facts
in sight tend to support these conclusions"
H. B. Lane, commissioner of agriculture
of Alabama, says: "The Alabama crop is
6S per cent. of an average yield; the corn
crop 30 per cent. cotton gathered and sold
65 per cent. Alahama's estimate is 100000

EXPORTS on THE DECLINE.
Disastrous Effects on Commerce OF
the Mckinley Bill.

Disastrous Effects on Commerce of
the Mckinley Bill.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-The effect of our
restrictive tariff policy in reducing our ex-
port trade is clearly shown by the returns
for the four months OF the present fiscal
year ending Oct. 81. The exports for Oc-
tober alone have fallen from S07, ,826, ,446 in
1889, sos, 32S 646 In 1890, and S102 SIT ,243 in
1891 to SS7, 494, 295 in the present year, and
the figures for the four months since the be-
ginning of the present fiscal year on July l
show like shrinkage, being lower than for
any year since 1885. The falling off from
last year is due to the diminished demand
for our breadstuff, caused by better crops in
Europe, but this explanation is not ap-
plicable to the falling off since 1889 and $780,
A POOR SHOWING WITH EUROPE.
These figures OF exports include, more
over, an Increase OF several million dollars
TO Cuba since Cuban sugar was admitted
free Of duty to this country, and indicate
that there would be an even greater shrink
age If our export trade to Europe and
South America were alone considered. The
exports OF manufactured articles are also
falling off both relatively and absolutely,
while imports are beginning to show a con-
siderable advance. including more finished
goods than raw materials The whole ten
dency of our foreign trade for the last few
modths has been to nullify the intended
effect of the Mckinley bill and to make our
exports smaller and our imports greater.

Secretary Tracy to Grant the Request

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Civil Engineer
Peary of the navy. will be allowed to mako
his second trip toward the north pole. The
Secretary of the Navy will tomorrow sign
an order granting TO Mr.. Peary the three
years leave of absence which was asked for
him by the Philadelphia Academy Of
Natural Sciences. The secretary has been in
doubt as to the wisdom Of permitting Mr..
Peary this leave. There is great need for
civil engineers in the navy with the con-
struction Of docks at different points on the
Atlantic aud Pacific coasts. This need has
grown constantly in recent years until now
the condition is presented Of inadequate
supervision Of the engineering project
which the navy Is interested in. This state
of affairs made Commodore Ferquhar dis
approve the application Of Lieut..
Peary for 80 long time
as three years Secretary Tracv
at first said that he too would disapproye
the application, but President Wlstar Of the
academy presented the case so strongly in
letter that Mr. Tracy has finally concluded
to grant the required leave to Mr. Peary.
Tomorrow the order sending MIN to the
Norfolk navy yard on Dec. l will be re-
voked and the order giving him three years
additional leave of absence will be sent 20
him at Philadelphia, President Wistar being
at the same time informed.
