A HOT FIGHT on SHIRAS.
CAMERON WANTS TO TEACH HAR-
RISoN A LESSON.


Pennsylvania's Ssnators Must Be Con-
suited If the President Wants Plain
Sailing for Bis Nominees -Confirma-
tion win Probably Be Permitted
After Cameron Has Shown Els
Power.
WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator Cam
eron, who Is regarded by many OF his COLI
leagues as having moro personal influence
with the senators than any other member
of the body, demonstrated his power to-day
by preventing action In the judiciary oom-
mittee on the Shiras nomination and so
winning the skirmish fight. The repub-
lican senators, Messrs. Mitchell and Platt,
found themselves powerless to report the
nomination fevorably as they desired, be-
cause Senator Cameron had won over
Senators Pugh and George, so that with
Senators Coke and Vest, the other demo-
Gratis Of the committee, they were opposing
sction. Inasmuch as Chairman Hoar is in
Europe, Senator Teller is i'll in Colorado,
and Senator Wilson OF Iowa Is
i'll at the sanltarium, the
democrats control the committee, and un-
less they yield the nomination can only he
gotten before the Senate by majority vote
of the whole body, dischsrging the commit
tee from the further consideration of 1t.
The temptation TO hold the nomination over
till the next session, when the question of
who will be the President after March 3
shall have been decided, added to Senator
Cameron's appeals, may be strong enough
to keep the nomination bottled up.
Az INCLINATION TO VOTE.
On the other hand, the adjournment Of
the committee until Tomorrow indicates
that on tomorrow the democrats win vote
on she matter, even il 1t ba to report the
nomination adversely. Representative Dal-
Zel, who was canYassing the Senate this
afternoon In the interest Of confirmation
says that if the nomination can only DO got
ten out Of committee he is sure it will be
confirmed. But republican member of
the judiciary committee said that he was
surprised to-day 70 learn that Senator
Cameron had gained so many
votes by personal appeal in
the name of senatorial courtesy to
senators on both sides that the issue was
very doubtful. A large majority of the
democrats and considerable minority Of
the republicans, including oil the silver men,
except possibly Senators Wolcott aud Du-
bois, who are Yale men, would, he felt sure,
vote to reject the nomination. Senator
Cameron does not hesitate to remind she
silver republicans that he voted with them,
or the democrats that he voted with them
against the force bill.
MIR. Shiras will probably be ultimately
confirmed, and probably at this session.
Senator Cameron's desire is not to injuro
Shiras, but 30 show President Harrison that
it is we'll to consult the Pennsylvania sen-
ators about Pennsylvania appointments.
He will be satisfied, ii is stated, by demon
strating that he can defeat the confirmation
of Shiras and then allow him to be con-
hrmed

IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.
The Prospects for the Coming Season
Better Than Last Year.


New YORK. July 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review says: There ia distinct
improvement, not only in transactions IN
comparison with the same time last year,
but also in the prospects for the coming sea-
son. In the cotton market a decline of a
sixteenth occurred. with sales ON 500, 900
bales la the week, owing TO continued large
receipts and improved crop prospects. The
cotton mills are actively employed, and
orders will keep the woolsn mills crowded
for some time TO come, while the boot aad
shoe makers are full, rubber works busy
leather firm and wool freely bought by
manufacturers, the sales reaching 5,400, 900
pounds for the week
"At PHILADELPHIA trade 10 most lines is
fair, but more firm in manufactured iron,
while the sales OF wool are large and the
grocery trade is excellent for season. In
dry goods customers are still cautious, but
more activity Ia seen.
Manufactured iron ia stifFsned at Pitts
burg by the closing OF many mills, and the
works at Cleveland are pushed beyond
their capacity, with some slight advance
in structural iron.
THE clothing trade at Cincinnati in
creeses with orders from the south.
"At Louisville trade is fair, with excel
lent crop prospects, but at other southern
points seasonable dullness appears.
Rain Is reported to have slightly affected
the conditions at Savannah and consider
able improvement In trade Is seen at New
Orleans, though sugar ia strong and rice
firm.
"Offieial reports make the production of
iron for the first half OF 1892 4, 799, ,056 gross
TONS against j, ,S6S. l07 for the first half of
1891, and in the year ending with June
9,7l1,Sl9 gross tons, against s ,279 $40 the
previous year and 1902 ,703 in 1890. The
unsold stock ls 49, ,62I tons for the half
year, but only 1925 tons for the last quar-
ter. Southern sales depress prices of pig
but bar plates and structural iron are very
active and temporarily higher.
Tho merchandise exports In the three
weeks of July are only one-hAlf OF l per
cent larger than last year, while in imports
a large iuoress9 appears.

To Take 1t Out He Palmed OF Forged
Check.
ATLANTA, GA, July 22.-Joe Steele. a
well-known young man about town, has
diverged from the straight and narrow path
and is now wanted by the police for his

swiftest circles and OF course

offered as security a diamond ring. When
he called at the place again TO redeem the
ring be offered q check signed Montag Bros,

A ROW OVER A BILL.
Glynn's Commissioners Refuse to Pay
a StsnographsF.

StenographsF.
BRUNSWICK, GA, July 22.-Glynu su-
psrior court and Glynn's board OF county
commissioners, tAe two branches of Glynn
countys government, have clashed In a
manner that has created q sensation In this
section. The facts IN the case are these
Court stenographers according to law are
allowed Sl5 per day for services and draw
pay from the county for criminal business
The time Is certified to by the judge OF the
superior court, who gives au order on the
county treasurer or such parties as control
the county funds. In Glynn county the
commissioners control the funds. During
the May term of courB SUenographer
fractional parts of DAYS in
taking evidence in the criminal court.
Judge Sweat allowed Toomer $15 per day
for five days work. which tho commits
sloners paid. Judge Sweat afterward
allowed q bill for sl5 per day for ten days'
work, which Toomer required in writing
out the evidence taken down during the
five days. This the commissioners abso-
lutely refused TO pay. Their construction
OF the law, as expounded by Chairman
Lamb, was that they were only required
by law to pay for actual work done while
the court was In session trying criminal
cases, and that no Judge had right to draw
money OUT Of the county treasury for more
days than ia shown by the minutes of the
court. That is the issue between the two
.secetons OF the government.
MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS.
When Toomer was refused payment he
brought mandamus proceedings, and the
commissioners were cited to show cause
why the bill was not paid. The cause was
called for hearing, but through misuuder
standing the attorney for the commas
sioners failed to answer, and the court after
stating that Poomer in the interest OF har-
mony would deduct three days, rendered
Judgment requiring the commissioners TO
pay the bill and the colts of the court. Be
fore, however, the proceedings of the judg
ment had been placed on the minutes the at
torney for the commissioners per
suaded Judge Sweat that injustice
had been done his clieuts and
the court ordered the maudamus
dismissed, thus saving the commission srs a
chance to appeal TO the supreme court.
Another order was given Toomer and he
will proceed DO collect 1t by law If not paid
otherwise. Chairman Lamb swears he will
not pay the bill, that it is an outrageous
charge, and the supreme court will have 30
compel him TO DO it. Toomcrs friends have
started n rumor that IL is because Toomer
Was against Turner in tho late Eleventh
district congressional race that Chairman
Lamb and the commissioners refuse to pay
him. This is denied, tho commissioners
saying 10 is not political revenge they are
after, but Justice and fair charges.
Judge Sweat was expected 20 have the
commissioners up for contempt, but this
was avoided.
The affair has created a big sensation.

the Berry Wall of Atlanta, and David
Lamar were the central persons in another
contest over Southern Life before Justice

The warrant was dismissed, however, and
now Lamar will sue the leader OF the
"smart set" for libel. The case continues to
be the relgnlng local sensation. When put

but owed debts to half that amount. He
said his wealth was in real estate and an
interest in this Atlanta coffin factory, but

HILL QUITS WASHINGTON.

His Departure Revlves the Rumor
That He Will Resign.
WASHINGTON, July 22-Ths fact that
Senator Hill has left Washington for good,
the adjournment OF congress not having
even been fixed, started the story to-day
that he had determined to resign from the
Senate preparatory to some new move In
politics. As he had gone there was no way
OF ascertaining the truth of the report,
which was, however, discredited by SEN
ator German and other democratic leaders.
The well-known fact that Senator Hill con-
siders the Senate dull and tedious and stays
away from it as much as he can gave
credence to the story.

Area of the canadian Dominion.

In the last issue of the Statisti-
cal Year Book of Canada, COM
piled by Mr.. Sydney G. D. Roper
of the statistics branch of the de-
partment of agriculture, we find that
the total area of the dominion is COM
puted to be 3,456, 1888 square miles. In
this estimate 140,736 square miles are
assigned to water and 3,315,647 to land
surface. The table which yields this
total is said to be an entirely new one,
having been specially prepared at the
request of the compiler of the Year
Book by the Typographical Survey
branch of the department of the in
terror.
'sThe measures have all, we are told,
'sbeen made anew and checked, and
may be depended on, in SO far as war
ranted by the present geographical
knowledge of the country. No change
will be made in these figures unless
based upon new information. AS this
is question on which there has been q
good deal of discussion and much differ
ence of opinion, it is satisfactory tc
receive this assurance from what we
may regard as the highest official and
professional authority. Montreal Ga
