Last Sunday at the Congregational
church was given up to the consideration
of the work among the freedmen of the
south. In the morning the pastor, Rev.
6. E. Smith. reviewed the condition of
that people and dwelt upon the reeds
and requirements of the proposed work,
and discussed in an able maner the great
social problem which their presence in
such great numbers in the south pre-
sents. as also the several solutions pro-
posed, Education and Christianity are
the only solution. An appeal was made
for support of the work, and liberal
contribution taken. In the evening the
matter was still further considered. some
very interesting leaflets bearing upon
work being used in responsive way.
The Congregational church has fixed
upon the Sunday nearest Lincoln's birth
day for this observance and it very nat
urally directe attention to the great
emancipation. and there were several
recitations relative to Mr.. Lincoln, con-
Guiding with an address upon the life and
character Of the man.

A Rebel Surgeon in Florida.


 Key West, Fla, Feb. 8.-This morning at. Il o'clock the pilot boat Nonpareii came into port, bringing Dr. J. D. Castil- To, surgeon-general of the Cuban army, who, with his servant, was taken from a schooner in the gulf. The captain of the schooner reported that he picked the men up in the gulf in small boat. The name of the schooner could not be learned.
 Dr. Castillo, being interviewed by the Times Union correspondent, states that he left General Gomez about sixteen days ago, having been sent into Havana on private mission He remained ten days in Havana, where he accomplished much good for the insurgents cause. He was then ordered to this country, bringing important dispatches, which are to be delivered in New oYrk. He will remain in Key West about four days, consulting leaders here, and then go to New York. He states that the outlook for the insur- gents is better now than 1t ever has been. The spirits of the troops are fine.
 General Gomez's health is good. The wound reported by Spanish papers is sim ply a chronic ulcer on the leg, whlcn causes him to walk lame at times. He is at present south of Havana. and Maceo is on his way to join him.
 Both have large forces.

THE PRESIDENTS LUCK.
He Killed Thirteen Ducks, but the Number h. creased to Thirty Before He Got
 Home.

Quantico, Va, Feb. S-The light house tender Maple, with the president and party, arrived off Quantico at 1:15 this morning and proceeded about three miles further down the river to the excel lent ducking grounds of Col. Webster Waller An anchor was dropped about three-quarters of a mile from shore and about one mile below the ducking blind. The president arose early and arrange ments were made to begin the sport promptly at 6 o'clock. The president, with MT. Reaves and Captain Lamber- ton, were rowed to the blind in a small boat, which is located about 200 yards from the shore The blind having been prepared by MT. Waller and everything arranged for the president to enjoy the sport with comfort, decoys were set inn mediately after the party entered the blinds, but the ducks were not around quite so early The first flock showed themselves about one hour later. Two dipper ducks were the first to be brought down. Then the sport continued to be very interesting. At Il o'clock this morning the party had succeeded in knocking down eleven ducks, and in few minutes later the unlucky number of thirteen had been brought in. As on the presidents previous trip, after this mum ber had been bagged the ducks disap- peared. Two of Colonel Walters men, with small boat, were stationed on shore These men attended to the pick ing up of the ducks as they were knock ed down. Promptly at 12 o'clock lunch was sent out to the blind from the yacht by small boat, which, after delivering 1t, returned to the yacht.
 The president was to have been met at the blind by Colonel Waller. but the president in his anxiety to begin the sport got out there first

return of cordiality in the Anglo-Ger-

return of cordiality in the Anglo-Ger- man relations will be possible.
 English court influence, to which Lord Salisbury is specially amenable, may modify the strain. The queens decision regarding her review of the flying squa- dron shows how this influence will op- crate. She assents to merely the watch ing of the squadron from window of the Osborne house and declines to give the review the appearance of a state for mality. The reason for this is known. The court circle is anxious to avoid eV- erything that might be interpreted as hostile demonstration against Empe- TOT William. The queen has not only no enthusiasm about the squadron, but is displeased because of it's formation. The representative of the United Press has made further efforts to learn the desti- nation of the squadron. When he ap- preached an admiralty official on the subject he was curtly told that squad ron had no destination.
 Cecil Rhodes. formerly prime minis ter of Cape Colony. and the head and front of the British South Africa com pany, personally maintains reticence re- garding his recent conference with MT. Chamberlain. His intimate friends, however, state that as a result of the conference the suspicion that MT Rhodef is responsible for pr. Jamesons raid in to the Transvaal has been removed. He merely authorized Dr. Jameson to con centrate small force and watch the threatened uprising in the Transvaal. He never Intended that this force should operate actively against the Boers. He was astonished when he heard that Dr. Jameson had crossed the frontier. This sums up the defense of MT Rhodes to the charges that he was personally cogniz- ant that an attempt would be made by the forces of the British South Africa company to overthrow the South Afri- can republican.

 Morfh of Ronds

Jackson, Miss, Feb S.-The rains here continue and Pearl river is higher than ever known to the oldest inhabitants Thousands of cattle have been drowned and the damage to fencing, bridges, etc, is incalculable.

 Senator Hardy's bill for the issuance of $1 100000 in bonds to build new cap itol has been adopted by the ways and means committee and will no doubt be- come a law.

Convicted of Criminal Assault.

Nashville, Feb. 8-The Jury Tn the case of Van Walker. charged with criminal assault upon little Julia Jones in the Sixth district of this county, brought in a verdict today of guilty. The case Is one which has excited great deal of To- cal interest. Walker is young white man, and formerly an officer of this county, and prior to this charge stood well in his community
 The crime was committed last July. Walker took the girl, who is about 15 years old, to church in the Sixth district, and upon returning drove by a circuitous route and at lonely place in the road, the girl says, he jerked her out of the buggy and committed the assault upon her.
 An appeal has been taken and unless the supreme court reverses the decision Walker will likely hang.

Aldrich's partisan friends and telegraphed to Alabama that the committee on elections has decided by party vote to make a report in favor of the contestant In the contested election case of Aldrch vs. Robbins is untrue.

FINANCIAL REPORT.
The Release of Money, Temporarily Held, Will Bring About an Easier Tone for Some
 Time to Come.

New York, Feb. S.-The New York Fi-
 nancier says this week:
 The statements of the clearing house
 banks of New York city for the week ending February may be faithful re- fiection of the average business or the first three days of the week, but as showing of the actual condition of the banks at the close of business Saturday 1t is not absolutely correct. It is mat ter of record however, that the New York bank statements following the ad- justment of the three government loans did not indicate for weeks the full erect of the operations which these loans brought about and recurrence Of this delay is to be expected in the present case. There are signs in the current statement of coming changes In the to- tals. Not the least of these and one that is gratifying in every sense IS an expan- sion of $1,2S9,110 in the last column, which, following a steady liquidation that has decreased the loans of the New York banks almost $50,000,000 since the first preparation for the bond issue, shows that funds are to again be re- leased and that money stringency IS not feared. The increase in cash during the week, according to the statement was N N,2S9,- 100, of which specie constituted $6b5,000
 and legals s4s5.20O. The cash holdings.
 and especially the specie reserve, will of
 course show heavy decreases as the pay
 ments for the new bonds are made.
 great deal of gold has already gone into the treasury from the banks, and 1t is doubtful if this is included in the state
 ment. The banks gained several millions
 from the interior within the past six
 days and the increase in deposits was to
 have been anticipated.
 The course of the money market since
 the bids for bonds was announced clear
 ly shows that the previous advance in
 funds was due to the complete prepara-
 tions that had been made to pay for the
 new securities.
 Now that the awards have been made and it is known that the majority of bid
 ders have been disappointed, and also
 that large amount of foreign gold is to
 be imported on account of the foreign subscription included in the Morgan al- lotment, it Is the opinion of conservative
 financers that a release of the money
 temporarily withheld from circulation
 will have a tendency not only to prevent a stringency in the market, but to bring
 about an easier tone for some time to come. The long period of payments will also operate to this end.
 The unusual decrease of $353.200 in cir culation was caused principally by re- duction of $299, 900 in the circulation of the Fourth National bank. The averages show the following compared with the Ia st two years.
