The Senator Didn't Say 1t.

A fake interview with Senator Pugh has been going the rounds, in which that gentleman was made to declare he was in favor of MT. Morrison of Illinois for the next presidential nomination and that he would get all of Alabamas electoral votes. Referring to the matter Senator Pugh writes as follows to the Eufaula Times, his home paper:
 'I see you have noticed editorially that I am reported as saying the democrats of Alabama are for Morrison as the nom- inee of the convention for president in 1S96 1 would not notice the report but you seem to credit it and others may do so and I desire to correct the mistake. l know Morrison well and think highly of him in many respects, and if he were to pledge himself to approve bill to restore silver to free coinage, even to the extent of the product of our own mines, he could be elected and would make a good presi- dent. 1 have heard that the free coinage democrats of Illinois have great faith in Morrison on account of his vote in con gress for free coinage, and that they be- lieve that he would approve a free coin age bill as president. but l am not for Morrison and never said the democrats of Alabama were for him or any other man who has not the courage to declare him self without equivocation in favor of the passage of bill for the free coinage of silver and gold at the old ratio and that he will approve such bill if elected pres iGent. Your obedient servant,
 ~ JAMES l.. PUGH."

the high and first intermediate cylinders. At modetate speeds the low pressure cyl finders being disconnected, steam can be supplied to the two tripple expansion en- zines, so formed by either of the batteries of boilers.
 The main battery consists of eight l. inch breech-loading rapid firing guns. Four of these guns are on the upper deck and two one pounder rapid fire guns and two Gatlng guns. There is one fixed torpedo tube mounted in the bow and one search light. placed just above the pilot house and forward of the foremast.
 The Wilmington has been built for en- tirely different service. Although in ev cry respect a perfectly safe seagoing ves- sel, the Wilmington and her sister ship, the Helena, whose launch will not take place for several weeks, are designed es- peciaHy for river service. It is frequent ly necessary to send gunboats on foreign stations long distances up rivers to pro- tect American citizens, such vessels of necessity being of light draft. Sometimes the difficulty of foot in draft means sue cess or failure of such an expedition. On the Asiatic station the paddle wheel steamer Monocacy has for many years rendered valuable assistance to Ameri- can missionaries and other citizens In China, at times going up Chinese rivers 1000 miles from sea, and merely by her presence preventing riot and danger to foreigners or every natlOnalty III Cnlnd
 In external appearances the Whining ton resembles a small battleship, hav- ing large military mast, with two mil itary tops, similar in all respects to the one on the battleship Iowa, which serves to command the banks of a river or house In any town where she may have to prevent rioting. A coming tower on the mast just below the first military top enables the ship to be maneuvered at height of 45 feet above the water line.
 The space available for quarters Is very large and affords bathing capacity for many additional men besides her crew. To facilitate landing her large body of men she has ship boats of an unusual size. her steam cutter and sailing launch being each 33 feet long, or as long as those supplied to the heaviest battle ships.
 The machinery consists of triple ex- pansion twin screw engines. The total coal bunker capacity is about 2S0 tons. The rudders are provided one ahead an- other, so arranged that it may be possi- ble to run the vessel into a bank and let her swing around with the current when turning in narrow channels.
 The battery is the same as that of the Nashville and she is provided with a search light placed on her military mast. but has no torpedo tubes.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
The Question of Establishing New Mission ary Diocese in Japan Was Up Again
 Yesterday

Minneapolis. Oct. 19.-There was a mo- ticeable falling off in the attendance of deputies at the Episcopal convention to- day. Half the lay delegates were not present.
 There was some discussion on a new canon. defining the relative duties of rec tors. church wardens and vestrymen, but the question was finally put off for three years. - 7 Debate was then resumed on the reso- lution carried over from last evening, pro- viding that in all future editions of the hymnal the humand name of the Savior be spelled Jesus" instead of "Jesu," as printed in large number of hymns. There was much opposition and finally, with all amendments, it was laid upon the table. The sensation created yester- day by the refusal of the house to consider the message of bish- ops and the establishing of a new missionary diocese in Japan, with Rev. J. M. Francis as bishop, was now re- newed by a report of the committee on the new dioceses in response to a repeti- ton of a message.
 The report declares that in view of the rapidly approaching time when the church in Japan would be in a position to control its own affairs, it was inexpedient to erect a new missionary journal and that therefore the message be non-con- cured in. A minority report approving the new journal was submitted by Dr. Harrison of Springfield in behalf of four of the nine members of the committee, and MT. l.. H. Morehouse of Milwaukee asked for its adoption on the ground that the request originated with the Japanese themselves.
 The debate was continued by Drs. Me Vicar and Fulton of Philadelphia Glaze brook of New Jersey and Mrs. Parks of Massachusetts, all of whom were strong ly opposed to the scheme of the bishops for dividing the Japanese diocese.
 The vote on refusing to concur with the bishops on the proposal to establish an- other bishopric was by dioceses and or ders for refusal. Clericals-Yeas 34: nays, 13; divided. 5. Lay delega tes-Yeas, 26; nays, g; divided, g.

That Facet;ous Journal.

The Montgomery Journal, always on the alert for something breezy in politics, tells the following:
 "Governor Oates was present at the Rankhead-Clarke debate last Friday night, and so were the friends of Capt. D. A Graham who asked the governor to make him probate judge to fill the vacan- cy occasioned by the flight and impeach- nent of Judge Randolph. They were there by large majority. They sat inn npediately in.the rear of Governor Oates. MT. Clarke and Governor. Oates are now pftted against each other for the fed eral senate It may not have really been intended, but it looked as though they wanted to pour cold water down the gov ernor's back when Mir. Clarke stepped upon the stage. The applause that greeted MT. Clarke was quite fiattering."

$61 1851, ,O0O as against $75. .s67, 900 for the first of this year. The legal tender item also shows the effect of the crop move ment, the total amount reported for the week just ended being $86, 300. The largest holdings of legal tenders are re- ported by the New York banks this year -119. .SSS. .500-which amount was reported on August IT last. There has been a steady decrease up to the present time, the loss in round numbers being $33, ,OO0,- GOO. or at the rate of over $3.000,000 per week.
 There was a decrease in the loan item for the current week of $2, 100. due probably to mercantile settlements and the calling in of loans by banks which had fallen below their required reserve. The reserve item, in fact, has been one of more than ordinary importance of late, owing to several cases which have oper- ated to place some of the banks in position where a contraction of loans was imperative. The total loans of the New York banks have shown decided falling off in the last six weeks, the total of $5O4 320,300 reported October 10, com pairing with $518, 1865, 800 on September '. a decrease of over $4.0o0, 900. The money needed for crop purposes shows no dimi- mutton from last weeks average, the ac- tual remittances amounting to some thing like $2,000,00 per week. There is no reason to believe that this money is liable to any sudden check, but the ad- vantage which a drain on the New York market has occasioned has been rather weakened by the influx of money from the treasury during the past few weeks. It is estimated that no less than $5, ,000, 900 has thus entered the market in two weeks.
 The rumor of gold exports has been re- vived. but the fact that no gold went out Saturday had reassuring effect on the market Whother the IVapx will witness a revival of shipments is proble- matical

Work or Give Up the Job.

Superintendent of Education Turner has issued an order to county superin- tendents instructing them to remove from office all township trustees who fail or refuse to return a census of the school children in their townships. As if is many trustees fail to make returns and the school funds of the state are therefore, not equitably distributed. The township trustees get no salaries or fees, hut they get some honor, an exceptional opportunity to deliver commencement address and get rid of poll tax and road and jury duty. The state superintendent thinks, and properly so that if man un- dertakes the job he should attend to the incumbent duties or get out

Moonshiners Raided-

Central City, W.

Yesterday United States Marshal M. B. Vinson and a posse raided the camp at midnight and captured J. A. Poole, Tom Shrewster, James Quinlin and Harry Terrence, while three others made their escape in the pine thickets. Several hundred gallons of pomace and brandy were found. The three men who made their escape with bullets raining upon them were learned to be Charles Farley Will Mccoy and Warren Harford. It is thought some of them arc inilred
