Minister Blount in Washington with
in the next few days diplomatic bust
ness between the United States and

and by Thurston, minister of the Pro-
visional government to this country.
Routine matters and communications
directed to the Provisional govern

die Of September. The Yorktown
and the Charleston at Barbados yes

Samoa.
Blount reached Atlanta, Ga, on the
18th, and then it was developed that
he is TO be the administration candi-
date for governor. a dispatch on this
subject says: Mr.. Blount was asked
soon after reaching his home in this
city about his views of the immediate
political future in Georgia. "Oh,
WE'LL" he said, az have been out of
the world for five months and am
away behind on the political situation
in this country, especially in Georgia,
as / haven't been getting the Georgia
papers, consequently i know nothing
of the state of affairs here now" The
fact of the matter is that Mr.. Blount
was summoned back from Honolulu
in order to be the administration can
didate for the governorship of Georgia.
Georgia put up the hardest fight
against the denomination of Mr..
Cleveland of any of the Southern
states. He secured bare majority OF
the delegates. He attributes this hos
tility toward himself to the politicians
of the state, and it was to spite them
that he selected Hoke Smith for the
cabinet, q man who was never in the
swim with the politicians. Recently
Governor Northen, who aspires to
the senatorship, came out vigorously
against President Cleveland's mes
sage. AS Northen's success for the |
senate depends upon the deal made for |
the governorship, the administration is |
Just now playing n card which may |
knock him out. The administration |
ticket will be Blount for governor and |
Hoke Smith for the senate. The issue /
in the canvass for delegates to the
convention will be Cleve-
land and anti-Cleveland. The people /
of Georgia, in every convention held,
have declared for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver. Cleveland
believes he can carry them the other
way, and that is the question which
to be solved.
The Financial Crisis.
On the 18th ult. the house passed
the Wilson bill repeating the pur-
clause in the Sherman bill
by a vote of 240 to 10. The amend
nent for free coinage at Is to / was
defeated by a vote of 226 to 124; IL to
was defeated 240 to 100; is to ] was
defeated aS9 to l02; 10 to l was de-
-eated 2S2 to los; 20 to was defeated
I'D to 119.
The bill now goes to the Senate. 1t
: not believed that unconditional
repeal can pass that body.
Labor demonstrations continue in
New York, Chicago, Newark, n. j.,
ind other places. The cry is work or
bread.
Down in the San joaquin valley in
california the white ralsin grape
,ickers have been driving out some
chinese by terrorism, and in San Fran :

State Bank Commissioner Brieden-
hal of Arkansas has issued circular {
D the State banks declaring that in |
lew Of the fact that the New York {
