at fran Francisco. Judge Seaweli grant
ed the new trial on the grounds that the
court erred in a portion of its charge to
the jury, and that the prosecution did
not receive a very essential point. It
was proved that February 15 the books
of the bank showed no shortage. Now,
between that time and April 4, the time
of tiie discovery of the defalcation, there
was no proof of what had become of the
money. There was no evidence as to
now it came in or how it was paid out.
Ueneral Barnes of couusel for prosecu
tion says this proof is next to an impos
sibility, and that the decision practically
amount to an acquittal. Flood was re
leased on $6,000 tail. He imniediutelv
went to his residence, anddeniedhimseff

The United States makes a vory dis
couraging showing for this year's crop of
cotton. It is already certain that the
crop has been badly damaged by unfa
vorable weather during the past six
weeks ; that it has got a poor start ; that
it is being injured by insects and disease
and cannot amount to an average yield.
More serious still is the prospect that
further adverse weather, which may
fairly be expected at this season, catch
ing the belated crop in its present con
dition, will reduce the yield still further,
A lew sections, asi'lunuaiiiui ijuuisiaua,

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Alfred P. Rwintifonl of Wisconsin, who
served as Governor of Alaska during
Cleveland's former term, has been ap
pointed inspector of the Surveyor-Genera!

The first move when the extra session
meets, it is said, will be a joint resolu
tion authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to suspend the purchase of sil
ver for thirty or sixty days and then let
the tight come on the main question of
repeal. It is said the silver men will
agree in order to gain time for organiza
tion. The opinion is held by a number of
Congressmen that the extra session will
not be lengthy, and that financial mat
tors alone will engage its attention. G,
F. Wheeler of Alabama said: "I see
no reason why the country should be
burdened by a long tiresome session,
with attendant debates and set speeches.
The President has called thorn together
by reason of the gravity of the money
question, and that alone. There are nu
merous Congressmen who believe it
would be wise for Congress as1 soon as It
organizes to pass a resolution giving the
Presidont authority to suspend the pur
chase act or deal with it as he may deem
best. Congress could then adjourn at
once. When convened in regular session
in December the financial condition
could be dealt with intelligently and
with deliberation and in the light of the
result of four months' work under the
policy the President might under the res
olution inaugurate,"
While members of Congress and lead
ers in financial matters are discussing
various plans by which tho present situ
ation can be relieved, the officials of the
Treasury Department are quietly prepar
ing the statistics and histories of finan
cial transactions for the benefit of the
administration to guide it in its own
views of the vital subject. Several plans
have been suggested to Secretary Car
lisle. Among them is one which con
templates an entire change in the money
system of the United States. In short,
the plan is to pass a specie resumption
act, redeeming the various forms of
money now used in the country and is
suing instead United States Treasury
notes, whose value shall always lie fixed.
There are at present nine different forms
of monev in circulation, and the fact of
wide difference between the value of
gold and silver coins, while they are the
oretically of a parity, is one of the causes
which has suggested the plan proposed.
The national hanks during the past two
months have increased their circulation
nearly $7,000,000, an order for new cir
culation to the amount of $2,277,000 hav
ing been received so far this month by
Controller Eckels.
The President has signed an order re
organizing the military Department of
Arizona under the name of the Depart
ment of Colorado, witli headquarters at
Denver. The Department of Arizona
consisted of the Territories of New Mex
ico and Arizona and that portion of Cal
ifornia south of the 36th parallel. The
new order abolishes the Department of
Arizona, and places Arizona, New'Mex
ico, Utah and Colorado in the now dis
trict. California is restored to the De
partment of California, with headquar
ters at San Francisco. This change has
been urged by the military authorities
for a year post. The headquarters of the
Department of Arizona were at Los An
geles, placing General McCook, com
manding the department, at the extreme
western part of his department. This
caused great delay in communicating
with army headquarters at Washington,
as all matters in his section were sent to
him and by him to Washington, With
headquarters at Denver he will lie at the
extreme east of the department and in
the closest communication with Wash
ington. This, it is believed, will effect
economy in time and money and greatly
facilitate the disbursement ol supplies
and ammunition. General McCook will
command the new department.

The legal objections advanced against
WeBt Point cadets going to the World's
Fair have been overcome, and acting
Secretary Grant sent the necessary in
structions to Colonel Krnst, siimriii
tenilent of the Military Academy, for
the trip. The cadets will leave' West
Point August .17 and remain at Chicago
ten days. They will be encamped in
Jackson Park during their stay.
The finances of the exposition are fast
assuming a more satisfactory condition,
and tho cityof Chicago is becoming truly
great for the large number of visitors
from abroad. An evening paper esti
mates that in the period embraced within
the last 120 days of the fair a sum rang

be brought into Chicago bv visitors and
left there. It Is certain that evory day
shows a gradual increase In the number

Mrs. Alice Houghton, the Lady Man
ager from Washington, has been in a
much-flustered state since she got back
to the World's Fair. It will be ronioin
bored that $6,000 was appropriated fur
the woman's department. Mrs, Hough
ton has spent about $1,600 of this, and
now for no reason that can be learned
the Board of Lady Managers has refused
to forward her any more, She had not
even enough to pay the scrub woman
who condescends to holystone the floor
of hor department. Mrs. Houghton has
had several conferences with Dr. Cal
houn over the matter, but the Executive
Commissioner is too shrewd to mix him
self up in anv of the troubles of the la
dies, and so the matter remains in statu
quo, About $900 was lost of the ladies'
