There Is now u very strong proba bility that the silver problem will be settled in the senate by adopting one of the compromise ammendmcnta which will result in coining all the seigniorage and about $2,000 000 of sil ver a month besides. The thirty-uine-hour session has thoroughly demon strated the fact that the silver people are determined that they do not intend to be forced into yielding either by vir tue of superior statesmanship or by presure of brute force. This country miiBt have more silver and can easily use 1100,000,000 more of the white metal than we now have. parts of the old bill, and extends the witnessing of certificates so to re move tho objectionable discrimination made against colored people by declar ing that any creditable person other than Chinese, can bo a witness. This section has an additional paragraph ileliuiinr a merchant as a penum buy ing or wiling in his own turnout, a fixed place of limbless, and perform ing no other manual l.ibir than it incidental to his buisius.

Court called as per adjournment. Present, ti. V, Ibuncs and iS, O. Schoonover, couimiioners ; W. A. Maris, deputy clerk, and IS. A. Emer son, bailitl'. Now, on this day this matter com ing on for consideration, there come C. M. White into open court and presented to tho court his report and statement of the condition uud bal ances ol (lie oflleer of Columbia a Chinaman is tf.to ana as there are about 110,000 Chinese in this country it is estimated that the cost of depor iug them will aggregate $2,000,000. DELINQUENT MUX T Y0FFICIA LS. It costs a lot of money to Veep de tectives hanging around the homes of pensioned veterans, in search of some excuse to deprive the pensioner of all or a portion of his allowance. In the regular pension appropriation bill for the current fiscal year there was an item of $200,000 for the investigation of pension cases, that is, to pay ex penses incurred outside of the regular machinery of the pension bureau Although only a little more than one fonrth of the fiscal year has gone all of that $200,000 appropriation has been expended and Secretary Hoke Smith has asked Congress for an additional appropriation of $300,000 to be used for the same purpose. This Pacific Banker speaking cf American business says ; "The repre sentative powers of the American business world challenge the admira tion of mankind. Financial storms that would have wrecked half the na tions or tue earth have swept over this country and left no other evidence of their visitation than an increased supply of business enterprise and the desire to renew the fierce battle for individual prosperity. Recent JTew York bank statements furnish ample evidence of continued tendency to ward an improvement, and it must now be plain to every one that the money panio is practically ended, pro vided the action of congress is not such as to renew the distrust of capi talists and manufacturers and bring back with even greater force the on settled feeling in both commercial and financial marts. The overwhelming majority given in the bouse of repre sentatives in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law reassured the whole country and even tho old granny dila toriness of the senate has not yet suf ficed to overthrow the feeling of con fidence thus engendered. The stock of specie and of legal lenders in the New York banks have been increas ing, and while this strengthening in actual cash has gone on, another process to the same effect has taken place by a reduction of several mill ion in loans. It now seems to be the generally accepted belief all over the country that once the silver question is disposed of, in accordance with the advice of the president and the comp troller of the currency, money which has been withdrawn from circulation and hoarded in the hope that gold will be forced to a premium, will at once be restored to the ordinary channels of trade, and renewed prosperity from one end of the United States to the other will result. After almost endless talk, amend ments and opposition, an exclusion bill juaa been passed through congress which, when the limitation clause ex pires, will very likely not only exclude such Chinese as will not comply with it, but which will also prevent the re turn of all Chinese residents who may hereafter pass the shores nf this coun try. The bill as it passed and became a law, is simply the Geary law in an mended or perfected form. The amendments made were offered by NcCieary and are substantially as fol lows: The time allowed in which to register and comply with every re quirement of the law, is extended cix months, at the end of which time the most rigid measures will be adopted lor carrying into effect all its provis ions, It makes clear all indislinc. As had been surmised, the report of Expert White has brought several of the present and former county of ficials out short in their accounts, and some of them have accepted the result without question and promptly made their discrepancies good, together with interest and all other claims of the county. Their action in so doing, however, cannot be accepted as an admission of a crime, and this the eas iest course to pnrsnc in order to avoid prosecution and further complications. Ssme of the more heavily implicated officials dispute the correctness of the report and declare their ability to show that there is something radically wrong. As to whethur a crime has been committed remains to be deter mined by those whose busiuess it is to protect public interests. No man is perfect all the time, and as the work of all those officials is more or less complicated, it is only fair to assume that much of the shortage is the re sult of clerical errors rather than crim inal carelessness or criminal intent. Mr. Cole accepted the report of the expert and paid his shortage together with interest, amounting in ali to $1,030. Mr. Dale promptly made his i discrepancy good under protest. The report shows Treasurer Wharton two dollars and seventy-five cents short, on the 5th of July, but when his ac count was brought dowu to date it was found that the county owes him one dollar and fifteen cents. Sheriff Mas- sie disputes the report and will im mediately employ an expert account ant to go over the books and discover the mistake. Assessor Kyser was found to be short ?2S8 poll tax which he had collected and failed to turn into the treasury. He acknowledged the shortage and paid the amount over to Treasurer Wharton. The shortage reported against County Clerk Quick is simply unpaid cost bills and reporter's fees which Mr. Quick has been unable to collect, and the amount charged agaiDst him rep resents no cash transaction, but the ex pert, in the course of his work fonnd these bills unpaid and charged them to Mr. Quick. It must not be forgot ten that the disciepancies shown in the county court proceedings is the re sult of investigation up to July 5th. Since that time the county clerk has collected costs to the amount of $260, and much of the shortage shown at that time has since been greatly re duced. When the grand' jury look hold of the oases it was unable to pro ceed intelligently without more recent data, so Mr. White was employed for the sum of $125 to proceed with the work and bring the balances on down to date. This farther investigation re duced Mr. Quick's shortage to $859. Mr. Quick then filed a supplemental statement with the grand jury show ing that he had been charged with cases which there was no possible meaDS of collecting and for which he should not be held responsible. The grand jury then decided to credit him with a sufficient amount of these charge to reduce his aocount to $182. 50 which he promptly paid, - Mr. iuick win lunner investigate the re port and is confident that he can re duce his account to a few dollars. Action was then taken on T. C. Watt's account, which was reduced to 133 34, and paid. Assessor Kyser's account was also taken up and it was found that he had follows vis: From July 5, to July 5, 1S93 inclusive: T. C. Walts, ex -sheriff, Br.,$ ISO 83 W.

The fondest hopes of the projector of the California Midwinter International b.vpMtioii are more than realized. The piospcets of its slice-ens have increased daily until now the greatest topics of the I nited states are willing to admit its suc cess, its scupe has been broadening daily. At first there were those who. unmindful that the word fail was nnknonm to the Californiais, doubted that exhibit and concessions enough could be secured to uliiize the one hundred acres of the Golden Gate park set aside for the expo-irion. But since that time the executive committee has been forced to secure additional space until now the grounds cover PjO acres Th!!-e are those who sa d enough exhibitors could not be persuaded to biing their goods Reruns mc eouuueui oui me wort, ot secur ing exhibits lias bsen progressing .rapidly though quietly, and although it is by no means finished, the administration knows that at least twenty-rive nations will be represented at the fair when it opens in ban Francisco on New year's day. Applicatins for space have been literally pouring in Un the commissioners here who represent the various nations which will take part. So far from there not being exhibits enonghtu fill the buildings, u is leareu mat many ot loose who make applications tor space must be refused. Tlii is so well understood that even after the commissioners have rejected a number of applications as below the high standard that has been made for the midwinter fair, it has even now been found necessary to build annexes to two of the buildings. Those which have been arranged for the annexes to the tine arts building and the palace of mechanical arts. The fine arts annex is to be 4xl) feet. Many of the foreign countries will have buildings of their own for housing their exhibits Among those are Honduras, Brazil, China, Japan and Costa Hica. Htill other nations are considering the feasibility of erecting their own buildings but as they have not taken anv definite steps iu the matter, their names are not given. j-,nougl support is certain from foreign countries to assure the interna tional character or the exposition. Besides the exhibit showing the products of mines, soil and manufacture of the various countries ofthe world, there will be ottier leatnres showing the life, manners and customs of difl'erent nations together with the inhabitants themselves. Visitors win be enabled to see the home life of Jap anese, Tunisians, Egyptians, Persian Turks, Chinese. Hawaiians.
