Seven Times the Assets.
Fostoria, o., Feb. 14.-The report of the
financial standing of Hon. Charles Foster,
and of Foster & Co, has been made to the
committee of creditors by the expert ac-
countants
The liabilities Of the bank are shown to
be $7l, Mi, of which t489, 800 Is as en-

1872, but in the nine months since the as
signment the real value of the assets
have shfunk to 1870, Of which SIG, 200
IS Chased as still doubtful, consisting of
bills receivable and unsettled accounts.
The personal liabilities OF Charles
Foster are SS0S, 255. The appraised assets
are 1914, 259, but from this sum must be
subtracted the amount put up by Foster
as collateral, which reaches $l15,4S6,
leaving his net assets at $lGS, 773.
The worst feature financially in regard
to Foster IL Co. is that If no compromise
or settlements are made, and each holder

The cause of the failure of Foster &
Co is stated to be the inability of other
banks, which were holding the paper of
Foster 4 Co, to re-discount it, owing to
the then prevailing stringency of the
money market. Since July, 81, 1885, there
had been paid by the banks Sl5S, 900 for

clared an Undesirable Abuse.
London, Feb. 14.-In the great con-
ference at Portsmouth of the national
liberal federation, resolutions were
adopted to-day declaring in favor of the
one-man,vote system, reform Of the re-
gistration laws, the payment of memb ers
of the House of Commons, the holding of
all parliamentary sessions on the same
day, and direct popular control of liquor
licenses.
One of the resolutions adopted declared
that the House of Lords, by its habitual
disregard of the national will, had become
an unbearable abuse, and assured the
ministry of the enthusiastic support of
the federation on any measures that the
government may adopt to secure to the
House of Commons paramount authority
in the state.
HARCOURT EvOKEs CHEERS.
The conference closed with a great
public meeting. More than 5000 persons
were present. The principal speech was
made by Sir William Harcourt, chancel-
lor of the exchequer. He was cheered
repeatedly. 1T has never been more
needful," he said, THAT the liberals
should stand shoulder to shoulder. The

Lords in speaking in Crew this evening
referred to the change which the House
of Commons, on the motion of Henry

Mr.. coBURN STILL REPORTING
His Suspension by Collector Beck
with Not Yet Acted Upon.


Collector Beckwith has heard nothing
from Washington as yet in regard to his
suspension of Marine Clerk Coburn from
the custom house. Mr.. Beckwith
was seen yesterday but was
not inclined to discuss the
matter. He would not express any opin-
ion upon the action of his late opponent,
Mr.. Norwood, in supporting Mr.. Coourn
in the position he has taken that he can
not be retired from Office without charges
being preferred against him.
Mr.. Beckwith declined to state what
grounds he had given for suspending Mr..
Coburn from office in the report which
he forwarded to Washington. 1t is
understood from other sources, however,
mat the reason given for Mr.. Coburn's
suspension was that he was personally
Objectionable to the collector.
Mr.. Norwood was the first person to

Davitt's extravagant rant about hoary

The Standard says it believes that if
the employers liability bill is abandoned,
it is probable that measure will be IN
troduced shortly by the unionists, founded
on broad basis. 1t will favor the COM

negligence of workingmen and will pro-

The Daily Chronicle says of the Ma
tional Liberal Federation resolution: ITO
argue with the Lords as though they had
title to discuss their claims with the com
mons is to admit their right exists. That
right, however, cannot longer be toler-
ated. The time has come, thanks to
Lord Salisbury and the Arch bishop of
Canterbury, to cleanse the constitution Of
this monStrous hereditary adhesion"

RE-sENrENo1Na OF PURv1s.
A Belief That the Case Is One fol
the Circuit Courts Action.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. IA. Attorney
General Johnston, in the name of the
state, has made motion in the supreme
court in the case Of Will Purvis. to have
the question settled in order to have new
sentence passed, either by the supreme
court or circuit court, as the supreme
court may see proper to determine The
motion will be presented to the
supreme. court next Monday. Section
1887 of the code provides that
the sentence of the supreme
court in all criminal cases brought before
it shall be executed in like manner as il
passed by the court in which the prose-
cution originated, while section 1851 pro
vides the mode and manner In which the
circuit court may reSentence a convict
where the convict has not been
executed according to the original
judgment of the court, and this
provides that the convict shall
be brought before the circuit court on a
writ of habeas corpus. The question
which arises, is whether this case, in
which the sentence, which was not exc
cuted by the sheriff, was pronounced by
the supreme court, and where the sheriff
was acting under the mandate Of the
supreme court, comes within the terms
of Section 145l and whether it is
a case proper for the circuit court
to award the new SENTENCED The
whole matter can be readily determined
on this motion by the supreme court and
the proper direction given by the court in
the premises. Exhaustive inquiry con-
firms the belief heretofore telegraphed
that Purvis will be death with under
Section 1851 of the code of 1892, that the
supreme court has nothing to do with the
case, and that 1t will be so stated.
