GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP. ' Tresults of atheism and departure from Christian faith. The tuberculosis congress at Paris dis cussed obligatory cremation of bodies of consumptives with rather startling re- - salts. It was asserted that earthworms bring to the surface bacilli, which; in dry weather spread the infection as dust. This fact was proved by placing earth worms on the graves of victims of ron sumption. The worms became tubercu- ;lar and communicated the disease! to animals It was suggested that this was 'why certain health resorts in Southern Europe are centers of tubercular con; jtagion. Y In France and Italy there is an fpi- demic of cholera. Instead of letting the ! .truth be known, so travelers could keep ,away from infected districts and that . merchant vessels from infected ports could be properly detained and exam ined elsewhere, these countries have , Separately schemed to keep the facta :, from publicity. Italy has gone so far that even the press telegrams are rigidly . inspected and "corrected" by censors. the only excuse the two countries have ' is that they do not wish to be deprived Of the large revenues which tourists ' tring them annually. It has come out ! that the cholera not only has been 'far ,;. worse in the little towns in the south of France than was reported, but that the port of Marseille has also been visited by the scourge.

Michencr of Indiana denies that there is any movement on foot to boom ' Harrison for renomi nation in 1896. ! The preliminary report of the opera tions of the internal revenvs; bureau for , the last fiscal year shows total collec tions of $1 CI, 002,000, an increase of $7, 145.000. j The treasury department has sent out . II. G. Jacobs, an employe of the suier- vising architect's office, and at one time i.s chief clerk, to make an inspection of public buildings on the Pacific Coast. For the first time sinco the passage of the Sherman silver purcliase law, the treasury dejartuient in July failed to buy the full quota of 4,500.0iib ounces of silver. The total purchase for the month was S.384,000 ounces. Representative Springer thinks con gress will be in session ouly a few weeks, :hat the silver question will be put in a popular siu-pe in that time, and that a commiitee to revise the tariff for the winter congress will be selected to work in the interim. The treasury officials state that the treasury is prepared to supply all the small currency wanted, and the lack of such currency in certain sections of the country is accounted for on the theory that much of it is hoarded by those who receive it, thus withdrawing it from active citculation. The department of justice has ordered an appeal from ti.e decision of Jude Koss in Southern California that the im prisonment Motion of the CJeary act is unconstitutional. This appeal mry Cause the whole matter to be again brought before the supreme court. Acting Mint Director Preston charac terizes as "wild heresy" the proposition of Attorney General Engley of Colorado to establish a state bullion depository and issue certificates against silver ball ion deposited, The scheme is not viola tive of United States statutes, it is said, but it is regarded at the treasury as a makeshift and impracticable. No more silver certificates will be issued by the treasury department for the present, as the limit prescribed by Inn V. 1 V 1 . . . . ...... ; many silver certificates are now out standing as there are standard silver dol lars coined and in the treasury to redeem them. Under the Bland act 389.936,374 standard silver dollars havs been coined. Senator Morgan cables his son that it will be impossible for him to leave Paris before Aug. 19. This postponement is two weeks beyond the time originally set for his- departure. Several days ago the senator was booked for a passage on the steamer sailing Aug. 5. This was taken as a sign that the verdict of the arbitrators iu the Bering sea case would be rendered previous to that date. From the language of his cablegram it seems that Senator Morgan in doubtful whether the arbitrators will have finished their duties by the 19th. . , . Congress mot Monday noon in extra session. The president's message, was not delivered until Tuesday. - The mes sage was short, containing about 3,000 words. It dealt exclusively .with the financial conditions and the tariff. The repeal of the Sherman silver act was recommended. Immediately after the ! senate met on Monday Senator White announced the death of Senator Stanford and as a mark of respect the senate ad journed. In the house the only import ant incident was the reelection of Speak- er Crisp. Ex-Speaker Reed received the ' Republican ygjto. Some of the Fall River (.Mass,) mills are putting into circulation pay-roll checks to the amount of $5. 7 Cnm7;C.L. is overrun with men look ing tar work, although he beet factory employs 8,000. j Thefts are iiumertr.j; and fruit brdiarde. are raided, T C E. iloseraii-. aged Advent ist, has. been convicted of criminal libel at Oak land. He wrote several letters of a most disgusting nature reflecting on a young lady '8 character. A report from Port Townsend says the Chilean bark Eritrea, en route from Val paraiso to Moodyville, in ballast, went ashore on Dnngeness Spit during a thick fog at low water. The bicycle craze has struck Stock ton's Chinatown, and after several days practice four Chinese have become ex pert enough to go out for runs on the bituminized streets. , The California state board of exam iners has postponed all action on coyote claims. This action will be continued until December, when the general fund will be iv pleni.shed. i The South Riverside Land and "Water company has bought La ;e Elsinore and the land adjoining, giving the company one of the very best water rights in Southern California. Thomas S. Cooper, a pioneer mer chant, died at Watson ville, Cal. He was in business in Sin Francisco in 1S19. He went to Santa Cruz in lfSfl and in 1S53 to Watson ville. While the agent of a mortgage coiu f any was taking the furniture from the home of Mrs. Harriet Hill at Indianap olis the lady fell dead from heart disease superinduced by excitement. One of the largest iron industries at Pottstown, Pa., has ordered that no work be given to foreigners, and prefer ence must be given to married men. This is to be followed by other large firms. Sacramento is to hold an election to vote on muddy or clear water for drink ing purposes. The pure water element is determined that Sacramento wster shall go to the wall. Wells east of the city will supply the pure water. The Union Pacific, Rio Grande West ern, Denver and Rio Grande and Culo rado Midland have decided not to put into effect the second-clans east-bound rates from Pacific Coast points to meet the reduction of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific ju-y.ir ores JarviOuea of Montreal has created a sensation by declaring person ally he could take no part in the recep tion of the oSicera and men of the Italian warship .'Etna. He says being a good Roman Catholic he can take no part in the receptiou of the warship of the coun try whose government is under a ban of the Vatican. C. P! Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific, says of the financial situation: "If congress will repeal the Sherman act and make $10 legal tender of silver and not allow any paper issued under $". that would put a lage amonnt of silver in circulation. Then let the government issue $000,000,000 in gold bonds, bearing interest not exceeding 3 per cent., tliey to be used as collateral for the national currency, and let the banks have par in currency on the old 4's. This would restore confidence, make money plenty, and. I believe, be a good thing for silver. I am for silver, but I don't believe the best interests of silver lie in buying 4.500.000 ounces of it in a month. Silver is the poor man's currency and has been for ages and al ways will be. I believe that when the commercial world understands that the United States is not going arbitrarily to bull the price of silver, they will very soon call a halt and ask what legislation can be brought about to use silver in a way to be of the greatest benefit to the great mass of people throughout the world." Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls says of the business outlook: "This day is balmy and sunshiny in comparison with the Storms and clouds just ahead cf us. The result will be the redistribution of the assets of the country. Tho millionaire of today will occupy the pauper hut and the pauper will iu tho near future ride in the chariot of the millionaire. Colo rado and other mvieral states should be blotted" out as Suites and addeu'to the Great American desert. The devasta tion of yellow fever in the South was not near as disastrous as the situation in Colorado produced by the closing of the mines. Thousands of people are walk ing the streets of Denver like the lowly Nazariue. Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Col orado tramp has no ploce to lay luS head. On every street corner in Denver goes up the piteous cry for bread. In Wall street the piteous cry goes up for gold." "When these two panicky condi- tions come together in the great Missis sippi valley chaos and anarchy will ful low." A Bmnk Fallot-. . A r.Dc"l Jttrar Fined. " The severity of British justice was well illustrated at Northampton the other day. where a trial for murder was in progress. The jury having been per mitted to partake of a lunch in their room, one of their number took this op portunity to step out and post a letter. The judge, hearing of this, promptly gave the offending jurora strong lectors and fined him f50. He dismissed the fury, and a new one was impaneled. London Letter. A SPECIAL OFFER!
