he would have more or less to say on the
financial question. As TO the length of
the session he had no doubt that it would
be long and continuous.
MITCHELL's VIEWS.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, after
spending three months among the people
of his state, returned to Washington yes
terday. He says that his people are di-
vided themselves as TO what is the best
thing to be done with the silver question.
For one l do not believe tho
Sherman act is by any means
the sole source of the present financial
difficulties in this country. l concede the
way in which it has been administered by
the department, which in my Judgment
is according to its spirit, has contributed
in part to the present financial depres-
sion, but l believe the real cause to be tn 2
apprehension under which the Industrial
classes are laboring in reference to the
probable action of the present admins
tratiOn on the subject of the tariff.
There are times, however, when the real
welfare of the country should not be sac
rihced for the sake of mere partisan ad-
vantage. Therefore, for one, propose to
wait and see what line of policy is pro
posed by the administration in the way
of bringing relief to the country. If,
when it is submitted, it should meet my
approval l will not hesitate to give it my
support, simply because it came from a
democratic source. If, on the contrary, it
it should not coincide with my views, ]
shall not hesitate. TO oppose it through
fear of any charge of partisanship or lack
of patriotiSm.N

INCREASING CIRCULATION.
New York Banks Buying UP United
States Bonds at the Decline.

New York, Aug. IA new and unex-
pected element OF relief has been in
iected into tho financial situation. United
States bonds have reached such low
figure that the national banks see their
way clear to make q profit by is
suing circulating notes against them.
Arrangements have therefore been
made by the more prominent banks TO in
crease their circulations from the mini
mum limit at which it now stands, 10
such an amount as viii materially relieve
the present tension. II is estimated that
$1,000, 900 or 100000 will be so added
to New YorlSs supply of currency.
within very short time. Orders have
already been placed with the controller
of the currency for part Of the new bills,
and some of the banks have bought their
bonds preparatory to depositing them in
Washington. Among the banks that are
named as interested are the ,Gallatin,
Fourth, Merchants, Fifth, New York and
Park.
The Fourth National has already or
dored ~, 900, 900 in bills, and the Gallatin
about SS0O,000. The latter has purchased
500, 900 of the bonds, and the Bank of
New York 100000. The rest Of the
amount will be made up among the other
banks named.
NegoJlaJfOhS are reported TO De uuucf
way between the savings banks and the
national banks for the transfer of large
block of government fours for use as Sc
curity for the new circulation. The say
ings banks are not allowed, ordinarily to
carry over 10 per cent Of their assets in
cash
AS matter Of fact, they generally
carry much smaller percentage. So in
spite of the fact that they have been ac-
cumulating cash lately, they are still be-
low the 10 per cent limit allowed them.
1t is thought that they would rather
dispose of large block Of securities now
and have cash In hand than wait until
the cash is really needed, in
case it is ever, and then
have to sacrifice their holdings
for what they would bring.
The currency movement to-day was
lighter than ii has been for some time,
being estimated at less than S750,000.
The sub-treasury was a creditor az the
clearing house for $l05,000, about half of
which was paid in gold. Exchange over
the counter at the sub-treasury
was $4,000 including $4,000 in silver.
Gold was paid out TO the amount Of $500,
600 and $780, 900 was received from San
Francisco by telegraph The issue of
certificates was increased 81, Az, 900, rails

BLOUNT TO RETURN HOME.
lie Will Sail From Honolulu for
Frisco Next Sunday.

The Interests of the United States TO
be Left In Charge of Commodore
Skerrett-He Resigns TO Give Atten-
tion to His Personal Affairs, and not
Because he is Piuued.
San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1-Authen-
tic adyices received here state that Min
lister Blount has determined TO turn over
matters in Hawaii, as far as the United
States.interests are concerned, to Commo-
dorc Skerrett of the Boston, and he will
sail for the United States on the 9th in-
stant without waiting for the appoint

Francisco about SAug. IL. Meantime
his report, which has been mailed by the
steamer Oceanic, viii have pre-
ceded him and by the time
the special commissioner and
minister arrives in the east the President
and Secretary Gresham will have had full
opportunity to carefully consider its con-
tents. The intimations that Mr. Blount
has relinquished his mission because he
resented his appointment as successor to
to be borne out by the facts.
The appointment followed Mr.. Blount's
work in Honolulu as a natural and neces-
sary feature of the work placed In his
hands, and the minister's reason for re-
turning to the United States, is his de-
sire to give attention TO his personal af-
fairs, which are much in need OF careful
handling, and the fact that he has al.
ready completed an important part of the
work confided to him 1ustiaes him in re-
| turning TO his home

the scope of this work was limited To the
collection and collation. of the actual
facts of the existing political situation in
Hawaii. It was not contemplated that
he should recommend annexation or pro-
tectorate, or that he should endeavor to
restore the monarchy. He was TO learn
all tue facts, to ascertain as nearly as he
could In the absence of popular vote,
which it was not within his power to Sc
cure, the exact strength of the annexation
sentiment on the islands, for the adminis-
tration has taken the position that Ii would
not accord with republican ideas that
different form of government should be
forced upon q majority of the Hawaiian
people against their desires. But he was
not empowered TO interfere in the affairs
Of the provisional government further
than was necessary TO protect American
interests, nor was he charged to make
any recommendations, and 10 the PFesi-
dent and secretary Of state was TO be left

Hawaii to the United States, Mr. BlOunt's
report forming the basis for that decision.

ham was questioned tonight in regard
to the report that Minister Blount would
return from Honolulu without waiting for

clined to talk on the subject.

ALL ABOARD FOR THE FAIR.
Rates From the South to Chicago TAX
Another Big Slump.


Chicago, Aug1.-World's fair rates
on the southern roads appear to be becom-
ing totally demoralized. The Mobile and
Ohio railway has announced a $22 round
trip rate from Mobile to Chicago, good for
twelve days. This is cut of 1890, the
regular authorized round trip rate being
S35, 20. In addition TO this the Mo
bile and Ohio has arranged for
weekly excursions from points on the line
at one fare for the round trip, with round
limits of fifteen days. The tickets carry
sleeping car privileges, and stops over at
St. Louis if desired. Business at these
rates is routed over the jacksonville
Southeastern from st. Louis. Western
passenger association roads theaten boy
cott against the Mobile and Ohio, if these
rates are not withdrawn. The lines in
the Chicago committee of the Central
traffic association had meeting here to-
day at which it developed that
the roads were following no
agreed plan in making rates
to Virginia points, thereby causing much
confusion, to remove which it was decided
that each road shonld report to Commits
siOner Blanchard its methods of basing
rates, that he might have evolved from
the whole one general system and plan to
be adhered to by all the roads.

CAUGHT AFTER 90 YEARS.
A Negro Who Drained His Rival in a
Love Affair Just Run Down.

Love Affair Just Run Down.
Milledgeville, Ga, Aug. THE most
brilliant piece of detective work yet re-
corded in Georgia was that of Sheriff
Ennis, who brings to trial a murderer
who committed his crime nearly quarter
of a century ago. In 1870 a negro named
Henry Kittrell and another named Levi
Ross were both visiting a negro woman,
ana intense jealousy was engendered.
One night while Kittrell was at the
wOman's house Ross came up and knocked
on the door and asked admittance. Kit
tell rose from his seat and picking up an
AK, pushed open the door, and lifting the
keen edge above his head let it fall with
such force as to split open Ross head,
producing instant death. kittiell fed, and
succeeded in invading arrest until to-day
while Sheriff Ennis was in Johnson county
following up a clew TO the murderer of
Mrs Leonard, he gathered slight clew
to the whereabouts of Kittiell. He fol-
owed it and this afternoon Kit
tell was landed in Jail
here, Kittrell confesses having killed
Ross, but claims that it was done to pro
tect the virtue Of his wife. The interest
in the case is greatly strengthened by the
fact that the deed was committed twenty
three years ago. If the sheriff gets the
murderer of Mrs Leonard, which is high
ly probable, there will be six murder
cases for trial next week
