for the redemption of the trade dollar expires 
Sept, 3. Amount redeemed, $7,400,000; esti¬ 
mated amount in this country, $7,036,000. 
Evidently there have been importations from 
China and Japan, for whose trade the coins 
were originally issued..Mitchell, 
Vance & Co., of this city, the largest manu¬ 
facturers of gas fixtures iu the country, are 
hopelessly bankrupt, owing to the defalca¬ 
tions of President Wilcox, who committed 
suicide over a year ago. Receiver appointed. 
.A conference of representatives 
from a number of States has been held in 'his 
city during the week to bring about harmoni¬ 
ous rules or laws for the extradition of crim¬ 
inals from one Suite into another. Much im¬ 
provement in rules effected. 
.... . ..in Southern W, Va the 
drought has made the waters very low. and the 
peculiar disease which has several times fol¬ 
lowed this state of affairs, uud which is sup¬ 
posed to be a result of minerals in the water, 
has broken out In the Dead Home Cave 
neighborhood there are over 100 eases, with 30 
deaths. Not a family has escaped, t ropsare 
neglected and farm work Is at a standstill, it 
requiring the entire time of every individual 
able to labor to care for the sick and dead. It, 
is estimated that 300 people have died in Mc¬ 
Dowell County alone in the last four weeks 
from the disease . The Indian Bu¬ 
reau has issued an order forbidding the in¬ 
struction of the Indians iu their own language. 
Only English must be taught in all schools 
and other institutions uuder the auspices of 
the Government. Much trouble feared on the 
reservations ... ,.. It is rumored in Mon¬ 
treal railway circles that the Grand Trunk 
will form a connection next year by way of 
Duluth, with the Manitoba boundary rail¬ 
way. thus placing itself in competition with 
the Canadian Pacific .. .. .The Sugar- 
ine Refining Compauy claims to have a secret 
for converting crude starch into a substitute 
several times sweeter than cane sugar. The 
manufacture is said to require a very simple 
plant, and the cost of production is reported 
to be low. Women are the State 
librarians of Iowa. Kentucky, Michigan. In¬

..Mrs. Cleveland and Mr s. Folsom, 
accompanied by General Greeley and his wife,

Million, Mass. Mm. Sarah Jackson, 
wife of Andrew Jackson. Jr., mistress of the 
White House during President Juckson’ssec¬ 
ond terra, died at “the Hermitage” Tuesday, 
aged 81 years. 
_Enthusiastic commercial-union meetings 
are still being held overv week through Cana¬ 
da, though the present government is strongly 
opposed to the movement. The idea is steadi¬ 
ly growing, especially among the farming 
community. During the week meeting' in 
favor of it in t he old French Province of Que¬ 
bec were just as enthusiastic us others iu the 
new cosmopolitan Province of Manitoba. It 
is becoming generally recognized, too, that 
the American tariff must be accepted as a 
prerequisite, even against the Mother Country. 
There’s no great desire for such a “union.” 
however, on this side of the line ... It 
is claimed that the ‘Native American” or old 
“Know-Not hing'’ Party has been resurrected, 
and that 1.500,000personsftre identified with it. 
It is to hold a convention at Philadelphia in 
September to arrange preliminaries for the 
national campaign, and another conven¬ 
tion will meet next Julv t<> nominate candi¬ 
dates for President, and Vice-President .. 
It’s now about two months since Jacob 
Sharp, the arch briber of the New York 
boodle Aldermen of 1884, was convicted and 
sentenced to four > ears’imprisonment and a 
fine of $5,000 His lawyers at, oure appealed 
to the State Supreme Court, intending to ap¬ 
peal from its decision—if adverse—to the 
Court of Appeals. Judge Bar rett, the trial 
Judge, would not grant a ‘stay of proceed¬ 
ings” suspending sentence until the final de¬ 
cision in the case, hence Sharp's lawyers 
sought among the 21 Supreme Court Judges 
for some one so open to political or pecuniary 
influences or so independent iu character as to 
brave the public odium which must fell on 
any Judge who granted the stay. Tney hit 
upon Judge Potter, away up at tire village of 
Whitehall, a iriitri who had never before done 
anything worthy of public notice. After a 
long delay he last Tuesday decided to grant 
the “stay," which his far more eminent asso¬ 
ciate. who had tried the cose and knew all 
about it, had refused. Judge Barrett is re¬ 
spected everywhere, and in his 21 years on the 
bench none of his rulings in criminal cases 
has been reversed. Judge Potter was hither¬ 
to known to few, yet ho grants the stay on 
the ground that, his associate was probably in 
the wrong. Sharp’s lawyers are to ask Potter 
to release their client on bail; but this the D^s- 
trict-Attorney will oppose, Gov. Hill has 
called an extraordinary session of the Supreme 
Court for Sept. 7, to try the case. Sharp, 
Over 70, is reported to have become very 
feeble and weak -minded. 
....The Treasury of the great State of In¬ 
diana is empty, and the State officers, judges 
included, can't get any pay. The Republi¬ 
cans say the Democratic officers of last year 
drew away $117,000 of ibis year’s interest 
money to save the party’s credit-—hence the 
present deficiency m the general fund The 
semi-animal settlement of counties doesn’t 
occur till Dec 1. while to nay current expens¬ 
es for th° next two months $150,01.10 are need¬ 
ed. including $60,000 for the judiciary and 
$80,000 for State institutions .There 
are 50,000.000 silver dollars stored in the old 
Post Office vaults at Philadelphia because 
there Isuio room for them \n the Philadelphia 
mint building, which is small and in conven¬ 
ient_ ...New Jersey is going to use 
the educated rascals in her State prisons to 
teach the ignorant, convicts, iu night schools 
under guard of turnkeys armed to the teeth. 
Of 86(j prisoners T40 can’t read or write. 
Delegates adverse to Powderly and the Home 
Club continue to he numerously elected to 
the Minneapolis convention in October.. 
Ten people wore killed at grade crossings 
of the New York, New Haven ami Hartford 
railroad in the siugle .State of Connecticut 
last week . The boat containing the 
13 missing persons from the burnt City of 
Montreal, was p>cked up by a German vessel. 
All were safe after five days in an open boat., 
with plenty of provisions but very little 
water ... 
_It is expected that at the St. Louis Encamp¬ 
ment of the Grand Army of ihe Republic 50.- 
000 veterans will form in line.During 
the last fiscal year the Grand Army expended 
$253 036 for charitable purposes, relieving 26,- 
006 persons. General John C. Black, 
Commissioner of Pensions, who is a guest of 
the New Hampshire Veterans, is reported quite 
sick with inflammatory rheumatism. 
Prof. O. S Fowler, the noted phrenologist 
and lecturer, died Aug, IS at his residence 
near .Sharon Station, Conn., after an illness of 
thirty hours.. .The liabilities of Ives & Co., of 
this city aggregate over $16,000,000. The 
noininai assets are put at $23,0o0,000. but most 
of the storks scheduled are said to be worthless. 
... Henry Ives, the successor of Ferdinand 
Ward as the Wall Street, “Napolion of Fi¬ 
nance,” is only 27, ami began his career as a 
messenger boy for a Wail Street broker. In 
the last, six years he lias formed three large 
firms, obtained control of a number of rail¬ 
roads, and empt ied the treasury of every one 
of them, besides loadiug them with debts, 
many of which the present managers are 
repudiating. About a mouth ago be was ne¬ 
gotiating with GaiTett for the purchase of a 
controlling interest in the great Baltimore 
and Ohio R.. R., and nearly got it. Now be 
aud his partners are before the courts here. 
Some of the books of the firm which it is 
thought woul.J show the swindling character 
of much of its business, have mysteriously dis¬ 
appeared: and ail swear they know nothing 
about them Public opinion says Ives should 
wear a striped dress with Ward in Sing Sing. 
The Ute trouble is said to bo a “ white 
man’s war,” huviog been intensified by the ac¬ 
tion of the Sheriff m forcing a quarrel on 
Colorow. By latest reports the whites, 100 in 
number, are hemmed iu on three sides by about 
300 Indians, and are m a very critical posi¬ 
tion. Reinforcements of militia and volun¬ 
teers, amounting to about 100, are being pushed 
rapidly forward Colorow says if lie is at¬ 
tacked there will be a ‘ big fight.” He re¬ 
fuses to treat, with auybody but the big 
white chief,” and Governor Davis and General 
Crook are hurrying towards the scene of 
conflict to parley with him.

Sat crday, August 27,1887. 
In the English House of Commons last 
night during a bitter discussion of t he Gov¬ 
ernment’s proclamation of the National 
League, Gladstone introduced a resolution 
censuring them for doing so, but the measure 
was defeated by a vote of 272 to 184—a major¬ 
ity of 78 against oue of 115 at the command 
of the Government after the last election. 
Liberals aDd Home Rulers happy aud hope¬ 
ful .England seems to be settling 
down for a prolonged or permanent stay in 
Egypt despite French protests and bluster. 
The trouble w ith Russia about the Afganistan 
boundary has been settled, both parties mak¬ 
ing concessions of territory. The Ameer’s 
troops have just routed a lot of turbulent 
mountain tribes which, urged, it is auppossed, 
by Russia, have been waging eivll war for 
mouths. One of too Ameer’s legs having been 
amputated owing to gangrene, lie is reported 
to be in a critical condition. If he dies there 
is likely to be a bitter struggle between rivals 
for the throne, and England und Russia may 
again be ut loggerheads, Ayoub Khun, 
whom Eng aml deposed at the close of the last 
war a few years ago. has just escaped from 
Teheran, Persia, where he had been held 
as a prisoner since his surrender, ut the request 
of England. It is supposed lie lia-* sougnt 
refuge in Russia, aud is likely to cause trouble 
hereafter. 
Prince Ferdinand's position iu Bulgaria 
grows more and more critical. The Bultan 
has refused him permission to visit. Con-dan 
tinople to pay him homage as his suzerain, 
and denounces his entry into Bulgaria 
against the provisions of the Berlin treaty. 
Russia bus protested still more vigorously 
against his action, Germany sides with Rus¬ 
sia, partly to prevent the latter from taking 
action by occupying the country, and partly, 
no doubt, to belter counteract French in¬ 
fluence. The other powers are neutral. 'The 
magnates of the country all decline to be 
members of the Prince’s Cabinet, and he is 
finding difficulty in muking up oue from 
second audttiird-rntc men His stay is hurdly 
likely 1(1 be long.... 
. . There are reports of au alliance between 
France, l-ussia aud Denmark. The Danes are 
busy strengthening their fortifications, and 
the German papers having been lutely growl¬ 
ing at this, considerable importance is at¬ 
tached to the Czar’s visit to Copenhagen, 
where be and the Czarina arrived yesterday. 
King Chii-tian, the father of the Czarina, 
the King of Greece, her brother, and several 
other members of the Du nisi) royal family 
met them as they landed from the royal 
ya-lit. The Czar will not touch Germau soil 
during his trip. Discontent is pleading 
secret ly iu Russia. Just before the Czar’S de¬ 
parture on his present journey, a Nihilist, dis¬ 
guised as an officer, shot at him twice, strik¬ 
ing his coat the second time. 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday. Aug. 27,1887. 
Rhode Island farmers, assembled in con¬ 
vention at. Oakland Block on August 20, un¬ 
der the auspices of the Grange, demanded that 
Brown University should surrender the agri¬ 
cultural college fund into the State treasury, 
so that the income may go to support a new 
agricultural school, which is also designed to 
have the agricultural station, which is enti¬ 
tled to $15,000 under the Hatch Bill. They 
don’t want the Brown University or any other 
institution to manage or mismanage this._ 
.... The Maine Agricultural Society is 
$30,000 in debt. It has assets enough to meet 
Its liabilities, but they are not available.. 
Last year Texas gave the job of building 
a $3,000,000 capitol at Austin to a Chicago 
syndicate, who took in payment a vast area 
of grazing land in the Panhandle, Report 
says the syndicate’s caltle are (lying at 
the rate of 500 per day, owiug to scanty feed 
aud scarcity of water. No wind for weeks; 
windmills not pumping water; water holes 
choked with dead cattle . 
The Farmers’ Alliance Canal Improvement 
Convention met at Syracuse, N.Y., Thursday 
afternoon. The majority of the speakers 
avowed that they were not enemies of canals, 
but favored letting them remain just as 
they were, and also considered trie present 
system of taxation as unjust, tanking land pay 
all, while eatotal is allowed to go almost scot- 
free. The Committee on Permanent Organi¬ 
zation recommended Seth B. Fenner, of Erie, 
for president for the ensuing year, and Chas. 
W. Robinson, of Steuben, for secretary and 
treasurer: also the selection of the name Far¬ 
mers’ Union for the new organization. Adopt¬

West by stock cattle .Philadelphia, 
Pa., is going into the grain shipping business 
heavily. Sixteen transatlantic steamers have 
been chartered to carry graiu, aud it is stated 
that they will commence receiving cargoes in 
a few days.. ...Hop picking lias become 
general in this State. The crop was never of 
a finer quality, and the predicted one half 
crop as compared with 1885 is assured burly 
bops have been sold at 25 cents per pound, and 
it believed 20 cents will be the ruling price 
for the general variety. The Hop-growers’ 
Association has fixed the price to tie paid for 
picking Imps in the seven - bushel boxes, which 
are 36 inches deep, 18 inches wide and three 
feet long, at 25 cents where the pickers are 
boarded, aud 40 cents when* they board them¬

_Phil. Armour says that cattle and hogs 
will be high, ou account of shortage of corn. 
“There will be at first depression of prices be¬ 
cause of euforced marketing; but after that, 
prices must advance.”.. Siueo May, 
1886, 2,000 cattle have been slaughtered in 
Maryland because affected by or suspected of 
pieuro-pneumonia. . In July, 1886, we 
exported 15,087 live cattle and 9 655 hogs.

Crops & film - lists. 
Saturday, August 27, 1887. 
The Prussian Minister of Agriculture anti¬ 
cipates the following yields: Wheat, 103 per 
cent ; rye, 100 per cent.; barley, 34 percent.; 
oats, 85 per cent,; peas 91 percent.; rupeseed, 
89 per cent., as against the following yields 
last'year: Wheat, 95 per cent.: rye, 87 per 
cent.; barley, 37 per cent.; oats, 101 per cent.; 
peas. 94 per cent.; rapeseed, 98 per cent. 
Packing operations have been somewhat 
curtailed the past week, the aggregate for 
Western points being 110.000 hogs, against 
130.000 the preceding week, and 130,000 for 
corresponding time lust year. From March 1, 
the tot a} is 3,995.000, ngaiust 4,040.000 a year 
ago—decrease, 45,000 hogs. The improve¬ 
ment in pastures and other feed resources re¬ 
sulting from the recent rains, has had some 
effect in checking the enforced marketing of 
unfinished hogs, as also in relieving the receiv¬ 
ing centers of some of t his cla«s of stock, by 
shipments to localities where they could be fed 
into bettor condition. Prices are well sus¬ 
tained, closing generally 10 to 15 cents higher 
than a week ago. 
A Chicago dispatch says the bene- 
fieinl effeets of the welcome rains were 
quickly seen in the reduced cattle re¬ 
ceipts last week, for farmers were no longer 
eager to rush their half-fattened stock to mar¬ 
ket, ns t hey had water once more, and green 
grass. The a derogate receipts fn thp wpek 
wore but 50.551 head, against 66,621 for the 
previous week, and 48 312 Tor the correspond¬ 
ing week last VeU'\ Common native dressed 
beef steers were little or no better, with sales 
as low as $8 90. hut the better class of ship¬ 
ping beeves advanced as much as 15 to 25 
cents per 100 pounds, a few fancy car-loads 
going ns high as $5.00 to $5.10 Native butch¬ 
ering and canning turtle averaged higher, 
though prices were still very low. (Stockers 
and feeders made a decided gain in prices as 
they were in great 1 v improved demand to ship 
to the country for fhii-hing off, and sales were 
largely 35 to 85cents higher 
In Ban Francisco the Produce Exchange 
onened last Mondft v. after having been closed 
21 days, on account of the excitement caused 
by the co 11 an so of the wheat corner Prices 
Steadily declined. Before rhe cobaose of the 
corner thp price of wit “at was $2 17' , percen¬ 
tal; la A Wednesday it ranged from $1,37 1 <7 at 
the nooning of the morning session to $1.35 1 j 
at, its dote, to the afternoon no trade was 
recorded, and the highest price offered was $1 
with offerings at $1.35 
There is intense excitement in California 
canned goods circles. Prices are rapidly ad¬ 
vancing. This week has seen an advance of 
15 to 25 per cent, in peaches, nears and plums. 
The demand from Eastern States i« unprece¬ 
dented. As long as the fruit sea°on lasts 
every cauuery in the Stnto will run at its full 
capacity. At the advanced prices lo's of 
heavy orders are refused One of the princi¬ 
pal causes for the inability of canneries to 
meet orders is (lie scarcity of labor. Cannery 
men prefer whites, but after employing the 
latter and all the available Chinamen there is 
still a call for more laborers.
