In the treasury department there
are some slight signs Improvement.
The gold reserve is about $4,000, 900
larger than month ago, and receipts
are beginning to show some gains on
the side Of customs. There is not at
present any large sum of gold known
to be available for increasing the re-
serve, but deposits are received every
day in exchange for currency, and
gold reaches the minis for which the
depositors are willing to accept cur
rency. The present rate of customs
receipts, which has been So, $50, 446 for

husband short time since, had the sad
misfortune to lose her house and its furni-

Lynching is not quite national in
stitution. Twenty-six states were
free from it last year. All but nine Of
the 131 lynchings of 1896 occurred in
the South. Louisiana led with %, AL
ALBANIA had Is, Tennessee IA, Florida
10, Kentucky and Georgia each,
Texas Z, Mississippi 9 and Missouri 5.
The average annual number of lynch
ings in the United States during the
last twelve years was 1877, and the ag
gregate was zoos. Though Louisiana
had the most lynchings, the leading
papers of the state declare that this
form of punishment neither prevents
nor diminishes crime, It is matter
of local custom and indulgence of
mob passions, and is clearly not an
agencyby which Justice and civiliza-
ton can be strengthened.

company is to deposit $685. 900 in u
nited States bonds, to be forfeited in
case of non fulfillment of contract.
This contract would require the COM
pany to complete the line to Honlulu
before January 1, 1898, SO that it be
capable of transmitting not less than
fifteen words per minute, within one
year thereafter the line to Japan and
China must be built.
The company may establish land
ing stations on the Midway Islands,
between Hawaii and Japan and be-
messages are to be transmitted free
forever and to have preference, and
rate for ordinary messages between
the United States and Japan and
China shall not exceed 81 .25 per word
and 35 cents per word to Honolulu.
Press rates shall not exceed one
fourth of cost of private messages.
The House Com mittee has reported
favorably upon this bill. The length
Of the cable route would be 2097
miles to Honolulu and $500 miles to
Japan and with 16 per cent. of slack
the cable itself would be about $500
nautical miles long. The cost Of the
cable and the necessary repair ship
is estimated at $7,50O,O00. This
would be the longest cable in the
world, and the deepest soundings
show 1856 fathoms. The Pacific Gable
Company is New York State cor
poration with $40, 900, 900, capital.
When the returns at the end of 1896
showed seven lynchings in seven days
for Kentucky, the exhibition seemed
black and grussome enough, but 1897
was only seven days old when eight
murders had been committed in S.
Carolina and two men had been
lynched. At the same rate South
Carolina would have during 1897 over
500 murders and 100 lynchings. Dur
ing 1895 her average was over 200
murders year, and only five or six
of the murderers were hung. The
Charlestown NelOs lays the blame for
this homicidal craze on the Practice
of carrying deadly weapons.
