RICHMOND is going to send delega

RICHMOND is going to send delega-
ton to Washington to advise the Presi-
dent to increase the public debt by the
issue of more 4 and II per cent. bonds.
OF course the only beneficiaries of such
an issue would be the northern plutoc-
racy, who would invest their gold,
headed for the purpose, in such profita-
BILE securities. But what Richmond
does has long since ceased to be sur
prising it is what it does not do that is
wonderful.-Alera. Gazette april oath.
Richmond has done no such thing.
On the contrary, her grain and cotton
exchange passed a resolution against
increasing the public debt by the issue
of new bonds. Richmond has an in
telligent public opinion on this and all
similar questions.-Rjch. Dis. Ap. 26th.
Representative Wise of Virginia call
ed on the President to-day and pre-
scented a petition of certain business
men and bankers of Richmond asking
the President to issue bonds to relieve
the financial situation. The petition
was received without comment, but 1t
was probably considered atthe meeting
of the Cabinet which followed shortly
after Mr.. Wise's visit.-WaSh. cor. NY

FINANCIAL Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle has gone to New York
with President Cleveland and members
of the cabinet. Dir. Carlisle will confer
with the New York bankers and he
will be absent from Washington for a
week. He announced that hei daily
receiving offers of gold, which he is ac-
cepting. President Cleveland has des-
ienated Assistant Secretary Hamlin to
act as Secretary of the Treasury during
Mr.. Carlisle's absence. The great nav
al review in New York to-day will be
a legal holiday, and the financial situa.
ton will not be much discussed until
after the show. New York bankers
say there is no friction whatever be-
tween them and Secretary Carlisle, and
they express an earnest desire to do the
best they can for the public interest:

IL ADDITION to the large export of
gold, four and half millions are spent
every month in the purchase of silver
bullion, which is stored like old iron in
the Vaults of the Treasury, drawing no
interest and doing no good to the gov
eminent or to the people. The law
compelling this foolish expenditure OF
gold is one of the chief causes of the
existing encroachments upon the secur-
ity on which the greenback currency
was issued. 1t was impossible for the
last Congress to repeal that law, but as
it's injurious effect has become pat
ent. the next one may have better
luck. Certainly an opportunity to try
its luck could result in no harm. Why
doesn't the President afford that oppor,
tunity by converting it in early ex'
ira session?

SOME GIRLS in factory at Bridge
port put one of their number who
wouldn't associate with them in bar
rel last week, and closing the top with

THE EXISTING, is a democratic adj
ministration; but, for all that, owing to
fbe absence of the members of the Cab
iuet from Washington, five of the eight
government departments there are now
controlled by sectional republicans
No matter what else this condition
NAV indicate, it certainly proves that
Mr. Cleveland's, is not a partisan adj
ministration.

The PLATFORM of the democratic
party, adopted by the national conven-
ton of that party last June, contains
the following plank;
s'We declare it to be fundamental
principle of the democratic party that
the federal government has no constltu,
tional power to impose or collect tariff
duties, except for the purpose of reve-
nue. only. We denounce the Mckinley
tariff law, and we promise its repeal"
1t was upon that platform and the
promise it made that Mr.. Cleveland was
elected President. OF course the pledge
must be redeemed by Congress, not by
the President; but Congress cannot do
so until it meets, and it cannot meet
until called by the President, and though
Mr.. Cleveland has been President for
two months, no such call has yet been
issued.

A VIRGINIA OYSTER CAsE.-The
trial of the Marylanders for taking oys-
tiers in Virginia waters came up in Ac-
comac County Court yesterday. These
cases have excited much interest, as it
was known that in the trial of them
an effort would be made by the State
of Maryland to test the validity of
the law which forbids non-resi-
dents from taking oysters in Virginia
waters. Attorney General Scott, of
Virginia, was present to assist Com
monwealth's Attorney Fletcher. Attor-
ney General Poe, Of Maryland; Gen.
Bradley r. Johnson, of Baltimore, and
Hon. Thomas S. Hodson, of Cristield,
appeared for the defense. When the
cases were called, Attorney General
Poe entered a special plea to the juris-
diction of the court. Whereupon coun-
sci for Virginia filed demurrer,
which Judge Gillet sustained. The de-
PENDANT then pleaded not guilty, and
the court proceeded to the trial of the
cases. Robert J.. Wharton, white, and
Severn Nelson, colored, both of Girls
field, Md, were convicted of taking
oysters in Pocomoke sound, fined five
hundred dollars each and committed
to jail in default of payment of fine and
costs. Bills perceptions were filed by
counsel for defense preparatory to tax
ing an appeal to higher court. 1t is
thought that an effort will be made to
have the cases taken before the United
States Circuit Court on writ of habeas
corpus.

no possibility of its reaching satistac-

A CRAzED MANS SHoTs.-Great ex-
element was occasioned at the St.
James Hotel in Washington, about 1:3o
o'clock this morning, by the firing of
four shots from a revolver in the hall
on the third floor of the building. The
disturbance was created by James T.

tered at the hotel for the night about lQ
o'clock. Henry retired at once, appar-

named he was found in the hall with a
revolver shooting at imaginary spirits.
He said the Pope had commanded him
to shoot, and offered the President as
reference. Henry was arrested and
locked up.

Murder in the First Degree.

DR.. Robert w. Buchanan, whose
trial in New York for poisoning his
wife attracted "the attention of the
whole country, was last night convicted
of murder in the first degree. The YER
dict was in the nature of surprise.
The Buchanan case has excited good
deal of interest, following so closely the
case of Carlyle w. Harris. Buchanan
was a physician, who had married a
woman much older than himself. The
woman, Anna B. Sutherland Buchanan,
had amassed considerable money
through her proprietorship of a disor-
derby house in Newark, n. ]. The
couple did not live very happily to-
gether, and when the woman died sud
denly, under suspicious circumstances,
leaving will, in which she bequeath-
ed all her property to her husband, an
old admirer of the woman called the
attention of the authorities to the case.
An investigation by them resulted in
Buchanan's arrest, and his subsequent
trial ended last night in his conviction.
Counsel has given notice of the usual
exceptions and an appeal. The trial
will cost the taxpayers of New York
nearly 100000.

Friends of White Metal Are
Much Encouraged.
COMPROMISE CERTAIN.
The Schemes of the Gold Party viii
Certainly Be Thwarted.
A Statement That the Presidents Message
Will Not Re as One Sided as East
ern Papers Have Predicted
The Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-[Special. For
the first time in six weeks the Capitol
city has been lively and immense crowds
are attracted to attend the opening of
Congress in extra session. The Demo-
cratic caucus tonight was the occasion for
much rivalry.
Visitors in attending look forward
with much concern to the action of Con-
gress on the financial question. 1t is
conceded that Bland will be chairman of
the coinage committee, but there is some
doubt as to the completion of the COM
mittee will be framed so as to report bill
to the House in the nature OF a compro-
mise and the friends OF silver feel hopeful.
The tone of the members is that white
metal will be protected even if the friends
of silver cannot get all that is desired.
The situation has undergone considerable
change and indications are that silver
will hold its own against the schemes of
the gold party. Bayard's advice from
London had little effect, for the reason
that he has always been pronounced
single standard man and has favored gold
as unit of value.
1t is believed that the Democratic party
possess enough wisdom to legislate for
the good of the whole country, and the
statement is made that the presidents
message will not be as one-sided as east
ern papers have predicted.

he Says the Tariff Is Responsible For the
Present Trouble.


sANDUsKY, o., Aug. 5. Governor
Mckinley addressed an audience of 10000
people this afternoon at the annual lar
vest picnic of the Erie County Agricul-
tural society at Linwood park, Vermil-
lion. His speech dealt largely with
the present financial and bust
ness conditions. He pointed out that
the business of the country rested upon
the credit and faith in one another,
faith in the industries of the country,
faith in the destinies of the republic and
when every man hiss lost faith paralysis
followed.
What we wanted now was levelheaded
ness, but unfortunate. as our situation
was today it would have been worse if
instead of having national bank money
we had state bank money.
Continuing he said that whatever in
fuence the Sherman law may have upon
the present condition, it is by no means
the chief cause of trouble. He charged
that uncertainty in regard to tariff
changes was the principal cause of the
present financial disturbance. Manu-
facturers are not going to produce for the
future and pay protective tariff wages
when their products may have to compete
with like products under free trade
wages. Let Congress when it meets next
Monday, he said, make authoritative dec
Iaration approved by the president that
the threatened changes will not take
place; that they have discovered they are
wrong. If they will do that next Mon
day the fears of the business world will
be Quoted and business resume Its
normal condition.
