LONDON, April 5.-The foreign office, in answer 10 inquiries, replies that there is nothing to be said in regard to the Ven. ezuelan situation.

In their weekly review Of trade, say II Is

ought to have been done In May and June
was pushed into July, so that the mid
summer decline due in July comes In Au'
gust. With this In mind one Is not sur
prised to find the shrinkage from July Il
August more conspicuous than usual.
The disappointing crop reports of last
Saturday, though evidently distrusted,
lessen confidence in regard to the future
of the trade, even while some speculators
gain by them.
Back of all doubts is the fact that in.
dustries are doing better than anybody
could have expected.
Textile imports have been very heavy,
and advances in cotton goods to some ex.
tent check buying, while Fall River

Woolen manufacturers find in their way

cause official investigation.
Corn reports modified the expectations
as to cotton and wheat, and cotton specu-

loss in yield, has declined l1s cents.

Matt Ransom Is Not Now the Minis

1ncumbency In Violation Of
the Constitution.
Salary Of the Post Took a lump whIlo Ran.
som Was Senator.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE office of
minister from the United States to Mexico
was practically declared vacant yesterday
by decision rendered by Holmes Conrad,
solicitor general of the United States, and
acting attorney general.
Mr.. Ransom's incumbency was declared
20 be contrary to the federal constitution,
and the acting attorney general sustained
the action of Thomas Holcomb, auditor
of the treasury, for the state department.,
In declining to pass favorably upon Mr..
Ransom's vouchers for salary and ex-
penses.
Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-08-17


The decision of the acting attorney gen
eral was based on question raised by
Auditor Holcomb as to the legality of Mr..
Ransom's appointment to the Mexican
mission, In view Of sec. 2, art. 8 Of the
constitution, which declares that mo sen.
stor or representative shall, during the
time for which he has been elected, be ap-
pointed to any civil Office under the au.
thority Of the United States. which have
been created or the emoluments whereof
shall have been increased during such
time"
Where the Hitch Comes.
Mr.. Ransom was nominated by Pres.
dent Cleveland in February last, and was
confirmed by the senate before his term OF
Office as senator from North Carolina had
expired. He was a member of the senate
when the diplomatic and consular ap
propriat.on bill was passed which
contained provision raising the
post of minister to Mexico from a mission
Of the second class to a mission of the
first class, and increasing the salary of the
Office from $12, 800 to s17, 800 year.
The constitutional provision through
which Mr.. Ransom has been de-
prived of office does not bar him from be-
ing reappointed to the Mexican mission.
He could have been appointed without
violation Of the law or constitution at any
time after the hour of noon on March
last, when his senatorial term expired.
1t is believed that President Cleveland
will reappoint Mr.. Ransom to the office.
Nearly every senator united last winter in
asking the president to appoint Mr.. Ran.

The Poor Bishop.

A well-known bishop, who takes
prominent interest in everything af-
fecting the working classes, wishing to
judge for himself what a journey in a
workman's carriage was like. took
ticket and joined the miscellaneous
crowd who fill these trains on the Great
Eastern Railway, says a London paper.
After most undignfied struggle for
a seat he found himself jammed in be-
tween navy, smoking a strong black
pipe, on his right, and an artist in house
painting, smelling strongly of his craft.
and carefully balancing a can Of green
paint, on his left hand. In addition to
apprehensions for the safe balance of
this can and the very unpleasant odors
arising, the good bishop was much
shocked by the bad language which
garnished the conversation of his
neighbors. After a particularly strong
expression from the navy, the bishop,
touching him gently, inquired:
My good man, please tell me where
you learn the language you have just
made use off,"
The NAVY replied, with a suspicion
of pride in his tone: Learn it, guv'-
nor! You can't learn it. It's q gift

One Question Rightly Answered..

The spirits came to grief at a seance
given by Mrs. Ada Foye, in Chicago,
the other night. Mrs. Foye asked her
audience to write the names of the
spirits wanted on sheet of paper. Mr..
Krausz wrote the name of his grand
mother on his slip. She was a Hun
garian, who died twenty years ago.
Upon being told that he could ask a
question either mentally or loud, he
chose the first method, and when the
spirit answered yes" Mr.. Krausz was
rude enough to laugh. He explained
that he had asked: "Is this medium
here fraud?" The medium was much
confused, and hastened to explain that
sometimes her own spirit answered a
question before the right spirit was
consulted. This did not mend matters,
and amid roar of laughter the seance
broke up.

back to the United States as pur-
chases by national banks and for in
vestment by private capitalists. They
rate higher in New York than in Lon
don, for the reason that they are
cheaper security to national banks
for deposit with the comptroller OF
the treasury to secure their circula-
tion, and the rate of interest upon
them is higher than capitalists Seek
ing investments can obtain with alb
solute certainty upon other forms of
security. These bonds will seek the
best market, and the United States
affords it.
The result will be that gold to that
amount, or exchange, which is the
same thing, will be shipped from New
York to pay their British holders.
The United States treasury will sup
ply the gold. drawn out by the bond
purchasers under the well known
processes. If the New York report
is true, aud it looks very plausible,
the drainage of the treasury of its
gold surplus will soon commence
again on larger scale than ever and
the same necessity for further bond
issues will arise that existed when
the last two issues were made. For

LIVELY BUNCH OF BANANAS.
Three-FOot Snake Was Discovered In
1t and Quickly Dispatched

1t and Quickly Dispatched
Tillisch & Co. received a consign-
ment of bananas Wednesday, which
were taken out of the shipping cases
and hung up, says Watertown Is. d.
paper. Some little time afterwards a
lady was looking them over and dis
covered a snake coiled around the stem
of one of the punches in such way as
to be entirely concealed by the over
hanging fruit. She was greatly start
led and called the attention Of Mr.. For
ter, the clerk, to the fact that a snake
was there, and he Immediately got a
pitch fork and proceeded to investigate
further. At the first jab of the fork the
snake ran a hasty survey of its sur
roundings, seeming to be somewhat ir-
ritated at having been disturbed. Mr..
Kean, who was standing near, hit 1t on
. the head with a stock he happened to
have in his hand and partially stunned
it. and it was afterwards dispatched
without ceremony.
1t measured feet and 1 inch in
length, its color a brownish yellow,
with irregular spots of a darker hue
on its back and sides 1t is not known
definitely what species of snake it is,
but that it came from the tropics and is
OF a venomous character there is no .
doubt. 1t is claimed by some that it is
a spotted adder, but we have not yet
met any one competent to vouch for its
identity. 1t is on exhibition in Duff
ner Bros window, being in glass jar
filled with alcohol, and attracts a great
deal of attention. Mr.. Forter certain
ly had narrow escape from being Bit
ten, as in taking out the punches and
hanging them up he is certain he must
have touched it with his hands with
out knowing it. He is quite certain on
one point, however, that hereafter
bananas will be handled i'll that store
with gloves.
