ROASTED ALL AROUND Federal Commissioners ofthe World's Fair Jump on Chi cago Directors. They Are Accused of Seeking to Impose Upon the Com mission. Attempt Made to Rescind the Acceptance of the Dual Site. Seventh Day Adventists Pro- Kpcse to Have All Their Rights Respected. Chicago. Nov. is.— The natloaa world's fair commission met here this afternoon. The committee on classifi cation submitted its report and it went over without action. This was followed by Secretary Dickinson's report. A resolution by Commissioner SlcKenzie, that all plans for public buildings be re ferred to the committee on grounds, was passed. This was in amended form. As first offered, the word "site" instead of '"plans"' was used, and a disposition to get into a wrangle over it was at once manifested and was only avoided by the new wonting. Mr. Mercer, of Wyo niing.presented the following resolution: _Be?olved, That it is ihe sense of this com mission that in submitting plans for build ings, such submission ought to designate the late and location of such buildings, and. fur. titer, that in the judgment of the commission no other other buildings snoukl be loca;ed on the late front than the line arts building. All other buildings to be located in Washing ton park, the Midway plaissnce and Jack son park; the main group of buildings to be located on W'a>hirgton Park, the improved — "ttion of .lackson Park and the .Midway Usance. Further, that the local directors are reouosttd to report plans in harmony with die nt-ovc on or before N0v. 21, i *■*.>«», unless they desire this commission to repert to the president that Chicago fails to offer suitable site and necessary buildings. this was referred to the building, ami grounds committee. Then M. It De Young, of California, got the floor with a mure scorching resolution than that offered by Mr. Mercer: Whereas. The proposition for a double site is- repugnant to the experienced judgment and business sense of tbe entire world; and, Whereas, This commission has been im posed upon l>y misrepresentations on the part of the Chicago directory. The said mis representations were .hat they only desired to place the fine arts building and gateway to the main exposition on tbe lake front, Hav ing shown their intentions at a recent meet ing by the passage of .1 resolution fixing nine different features and eight buildings ou the said lake front, they have «tso attempted to let the contracts for said buildings before this commission should assemble again. While they have it nipt raiily rescinded that action at the request of their president— now the national commission, Feeling that they have been and may be imposed on again, do hereby Uesolvc, That the notion of this commis sion iv accepting the various sites offered them was contrary to the spirit of the law di recting them to accept a site. That suen ac tion is hereby rescinded. That the board of directors of the world's Columbian exposition be requested to immediately furnish this commission with a site where" the exposition can be held as one exhibit. Mr. De Young said he did not want tins resolution shelved as Mr. Mercer's had been. The president ruled that it went to the same committee. Mr. De Young appealed from the decision. Then the peacemakers came to. the front and the appeal was withdrawn. The resolution was ordered printed and will be considered later. The action showed the pent-up condition of some of the commissioners with reference to the site, and nothing but McKeuzie's exceedingly wise and politic resolution prevented a tempestuous outbreak. The commission adjourned uutil 10 a. 111. to morrow. The executive committee of the commission held a brief session and passed a resolution directing the presi dent and secretary not to sign any vouchers for expenses that might be in curred by the committee on foreign af fairs until further notice. A copy of the resolution will he . sent to Secretary "Windom, of the treasury, and also to the foreign affairs committee at New York. '1 his move is designed to head oil the foreign affairs committee in es tablishtm: headquarters in London without authority or the expressed as sent of the director general. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. A Case of National Importance to Be Tested by Adventists. NAsnvn.l c, Nov. IS.— ll. M. King, of Obion county, who last week made ap plication for a writ of habeas corpus be fore Judge K. S. Hammond, of the fed eral court, was released from confine ment Saturday. The petition stated that he was illegally imprisoned in the county jail of Obion county by virtue of an alleged mittimus issued by the cir cuit court of Obion. He claimed that he was falsely imprisoned and deprived of his liberty contrary to the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States. King is a citizen of Obion, livin near Union City, and is a member of the society known as the Seventh Day Adventists. He is a farm er by occupation, and was arrested on a charge of violating the Sabbath day by plow ing in his field one Sunday. He.was tried in the circuit court and convicted. Prom the decision King ap . pealed to the state supreme court.This court sustained the decision of the lower court, and Mr. King was sent to jail. His attorney then applied for a writ of habeas corpus, and it was granted by Judge Hammond as above stated. '1 lie writ is returnable on the fourth Monday in November, at which time the case will he given a hearing at Jackson by Judge Hammond. This is a case of national interest and impor tance, and tin- decision of the court will be awaited with interest, by the religious sect of which Mr. King is a member all over tin- United States. Hon. Don M. Dickinson, of Detroit, Mich., who ■was a member of President Cleveland's cabinet, has been retained as counsel by the order of the general society of Ad ventists of the United States. It is a numerous body and embraces over 1,000,000 members. Mr. Dickinson has been retained as counsel to examine, into the matter of the prosecution of the members for Sabbath breaking throughout the country. He proposes, if possible.to devise some means of test ing the validity of conviction in . states, especially when the prosecutions have savored of religions persecution. The case of Mr. King is to be made a test ease, and no matter what the decision of Judge Hammond may be, an appeal will be taken to the United States su preme court. The Society of Seventh Day Adventists do not recognize the Christian Sabbath but observe Satur day as a day of rest, and insist upou working or seeking amusement as they .see fit upon the Christian Sabbat ii. The society contends that its members have a right to worship as they see fit and ob serve such Sabbath days as they like: that under the constitution of the United Stales they should be protected lii their religious beliefs. The case will be watched with interest.not only by this society, but by other seels who do not believe in the compulsory observance of the Christian Sabbath. REBATE ON TOBACCO. Senator Carlisle States How It "Was Omitted From the Tariff*. Cincinnati, 0., Nov. IS.— Tbe West ern Tobacco Journal has an interview with Senator John' G. Carlisle on the subject of the omission of rebate on to bacco in the tariff bill. Senator Carlisle was a member •"_ the con fere com mittee, and. as will be seen, does not agree with Senator Sherman's view of the matter - lc says . '"Section . aotof the tariff bill, as.it passed the house of _S___l________ft~. ri'prosentatives.nrovidod for a rebate on all übrokeu packages of manufactured tobacco held by manufacturers or deal ers, at the time the reduction of tax was to take effect, but the senate struck out this and all-other provisions in relation to the internal-revenue. The house disagreed to till the senate amendments, ami the whole matter was sent to a committee of conference. ■ That committee agreed to reduce the tax on manufactured to bacco and snuff two cents per pound in-, stead of four cents, as proposed by the house, and it agreed to restore the pro vision allowing a rebate. The provision in regard to rebate was one of the last items in the bill considered by the con ference committee, an I at the time.it was agreed upon the preparation of the report had been nearly completed. Alter the report had been made and agreed to by both houses it was discov ered for the first time that the provision allowing a rebate had been omitted from it by mistako of the clerks who wrote out the report. 1 have seen Senator Sherman's letter on this subject and he is entirely mistaken in saying that rebate was not intended to be allowed. '1 lie report signed by Air. Sherman and the other Republican conferrees shows that it was agreed to and the difficulty arises solely from the fact that tbe. clerks failed to insert the rebate provision in full iv the body of the report. The senate amendment striking out the rebate was numbered 419 and the report states distinctly that the senate recedes from this amend-' ment, which, of course, . restored, the provision. 1 think congress will allow the rebate at the next session. It certainly will unless the majority have changed their views upon the subject." GROVEIi GOT THERE. Ho Congratulated Gov. Pattison on His Victory.

New York. Nov. 17, ISSo.—My.1 SSo.—My.O o.—My.o.—My.0 .— My. Dear Sir: Though 1 know that you are overwhelmed with congratulations" I cannot resist the temptation to express to you my delight upon your election as governor of » euusyivauia. 1 have felt the most intense interest in the Contest in your state, and have had great sympathy with the good people there, con fronted as they were with everything that was bad, and this indorsed and supported by a party claiming au Immense major. ty of the voters. it sct-med to me that the conditions were almost pitiable, and that the struggle between right and wrong, at such odds, ought not to have been forced upon your grand old commonwealth. But when it "came precipitated by the arro gauee of those accustomed to deceive and betray the people with impunity. 1 almost held my breath, and. as an American citizen, proud of his country, prayed God for the people's safe del verunce and ■ for a demon stration that they had not lost tlieir love , for honesty and right. The demonstra- ; tion came, and i am now glad that issue between right and wrong was made so clearly, and that the wrong so : impudently displaced the banner uuder which its forces was gathered. 1 want to thank you. as a cit izen and as one of the people, for the gallant fight you made, and for all you have done in in this trying hour to save the American character. " And lam so glad that this thing was done under Democratic auspices, though 1 think every man who voted for you de serves the gratitude of his fellow country men. Yours very sincerely, '■;'-- Grover Cleveland. OPPOSED TO IVILLARDISM. The Non-Partisan W. C. T. U. to Meet To-Day. PITTSBCRG, Pa..

Nov. 18.— The treas urer of the United States, Hon. James N. Huston, has submitted to Secretary Windom the report on the operations and conditions of the treasury for the fiscal year ended June SO. The" net or dinary revenues amounted to $403,030, --982. a sum but twice exceeded in the history of the. government. The in crease over the year before was $16,030, --988, of which $11,725,191 came from the internal revenue." The ordinary ex penditures were s-297,730,430, an increase of 739,871 over those of the year be fore. The growth of the revenues was, therefore, a little greater than that of the expenditures, and there would have been a falling off in the latter but for the increase in pensions. The surplus revenues were .5105,344.490. of which $20,304,224 was paid out in premiums on bonds pur chased. According to the warrants, the receipts of the postoffice department were $01,100,041. and the expenditures $07,011,203. an increase of between five and six millions on both sides. At the close of business on June 30, ISB9, there stood charged to the treasurer on the hooks ot the department the sum of $1573.399.118. To this were added the re ceiuts of the year from the revenuesand on account of the public debt, amount ing in all to . $648,375,363, so that the aggregate for which he wa? accountable during the year was $1,H21,774.482. Of this he disbursed $630,247,078 on war rants of the department, leaving $691, --5*7.403 In his charge on June SO, 18J0. There were Included in These Accounts. however, upwards of iKS.OOO.OOO on[de posit with the states under an old law, besides nearly $1,500,000 of unavailable funds, for which the treasurer was not responsible. On the other hand, theie was on deposit with him for various purposes a lame sum of which the de partment took no account, and he had receive d other sums which had not vet been charted to him. The true amount for which he was accountable on June SO, 1889. was $760,043,871, and $757,915. --078 a year later, against which he held a like amount of assets, consisting of gold, silver, paper currency and deposits with national banks. The amount of gold in the treasury increased daring the year from $30:1,887.719 to $3:20,933.145, and the silver from $315. --100.779 to 534G.821.00G. Exclusive' of amounts on- deposit, there was In the! treasury belonging to the government on June SO. 18S9, $326,028,9-7. and ''oil June 30, 1090, $25G.334.815, the amount; of gold having increased about $4,000, --000, while the silver decreased nearly ?9.000,000. The- liabilities decreased during the- year from $127,931,880 .to $107,124,718, and the reserve, being the excess of assets over liabilities, rait down from $198,097,047 to $179,200, --097. The difficulties in the way of making out a plain state ment or the liabilities of: the: treasury and of the public debt are pointed : out.' and the changes recently made in the debt statement .-, explained. The total obligations of the treasury on all ac counts were $1,810,678,475 on June 30. 1889, and $1, 722.240, 163 on June 30, 1890. The debt less cash in the treasury was $1,059,034,603 on the former date, and was $964,325,084 on the latter. Not counting the certificates of deposit, The Debt Proper in the shape of bonds and circulating notes was reduced from* $1,250,043,136 to $1,145,400,986. : This was effected at a total cost of $124,952,243 for principal and premiums. Nearly $74,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds and upwards of $30,000. --000 of 4% per cent bonds were pur chased. Important changes took place in the circulating medium, but they were of a more favorable character than those of the year before. There was a gain of $15,000,000 in the stock of gold; an increase of $43,000,000 in that of sil ver, and a contraction of $26,000,000 in the volume of banknotes, resulting in a net increase of $32,000,000 in - the aggregate supply of money. The total stock, including certificates of de posit as well as the gold, silver and notes held in the treasury for their redemp tion.is estimated to have increased from $090,908,718 to $2,170,107,136 and the actual circulation, being the stock less the amount iv the treasury.from $1,387, --551,833 to $1,443,083,618. In round num bers, the circulation oh June 30, #1890 consisted of $505,000,000 of gold and sil ver certificates, $414,000,000 of silver and silver certificates, and $523,000,000 of United States and national bank notes. In view of the prominence which the money circulation and the rela tions of the treasury thereto have assumed in public discussion the treasurer thinks the time opportune for presenting information of a kind to throw light on the subject. Accord ingly he explains with care the effect which the operations of the treasury have upon the circulating medium; how the stock iv the country is ascertained; and how the amounts of the several kinds of currency in the -hands or con trol of the people- is arrived at. He gives voluminous tables, extending over the last thirteen years, which show the issues, redemptions and amounts out standing of . -;>: - , Each Kind of Currency, by denominations ; ; the total volume of each denomination outstanding at. the end of each" year; the amounts in the treasury and: circulation at the end of • each month ; the estimated stock of gold and silver in the country at the' end of each year to 1885, and at the end of each quarter thereafter; and finally, l the amounts of each and all held in the* treasury or estimated to be in circula tion at the same periods. Not much change has taken place in the movement of the United States notes. There was ■ a decline of activity in the issue and re demption of gold certificates, with a ; net increase of only $3,500,000 in the amount outstanding. The hand lings were mostly of the large denomi nations, which are used in the collec tion of customs and the settlement "of; clearing house balances in New York. \ The absorption of legal tender -■ silvers into the circulation, in the. form of the certificate of deposit, has been fully op to the means of the treasury for. sup plying it. The fresh issues of certifi cates took up the year's coinage of standard silver dollars and $3,000,000 more. ..There was- also an outflow of : between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 of frac tional silver coins, which encourages the' hope that with good man agement the treasury, In the course of a few years more, may be relieved of the redundant -stock of these coins for some time on hand '-■ On the 80th of June there were nearly 52.000.000 of uncurient gold and silver coins in the treasury, besides s6,ooo,ooJin halt dollars at San Francisco which are much worn. The appropriation of $20 - tOO «or the year will serve for the re coinage of only about $450,000 of silver.- Counterfeit notes representing an a"-: giegate value of. *8.479 were presented at the office, an increase of $2,200 over the ear before. There were rejected 3.840 Spurious Sliver Coin*. s : of which the greater part were dollars. An appropriation of $2,500 was made In September for the reduction of certain notes, described by their "numbers. bearing the Oil City National Bank of Lynn. Mass.; the First National Bank of Jersey City, N. J., and the Third Na tional Bank of New York, which were stolen from the office : of the controller of the currency prior to 1869 and fraud ulently put in circulation. These notes, but not certain other notes .stolen . from several hanks, will be redeemed at the treasury In the order of their; presenta tion. ; There - was - a : decrease "of less than 33,000.000 in the bonds held on de posit to : secure national bank clrcula lation.Seventy-three banks were discon tinued as depositaries and eight . new ones were designated. Some Important changes occurred in the Pacific railroad sinking funds and the Indian trust fund. The redemptions of bank notes amounted to nearly $70,000,000, a de crease of upwards of $18,000,000 as com pared with the year before. Owing cnielly to the lower prices ruling for bonds the deposits . for the retirement of national bank, notes amounted to only $11,000,000. By the act of July 14, 1800. these deposits, together with .the balance of them remaining iv the treas urer's ■ hands at the time, were ' re quired 'to be covered into the treas ury and a like amount of outstand ing bank . notes to be reported each mouth as debt of the United States bearing no interest. The ■ work of re ceiving these deposits and redeeming the notes out of them has been done heretofore without accountability to the department. The total amount of money received In these deposits to the 25th of July last was nearly 15479,000,000, of which $404,000,000 was paid out in re demption of notes, and upwards of $20, --000,000 was refunded or transferred. The balance ou hand, amounting to $54,888,475, was deposited in the treas ury by. the treasurer's : check. The treasurer suggests that, as he is . A Bonded Officeholder* '. he should be allowed to select his own force of clerks, without the restrictions of the civil service law, while that law might govern as regards .dismissals. The suggestion is made that if some ex pedient could be devised by which the repeated handling of the silver coin in the various offices of the treasury could safely be avoided, it would be an im portant advantage. Continued embarass ment has attended the work of supply ing the country with paper currency from delays aud failures in filling the treasurer's requisitions for new notes. Tie suggests that greater flexi bility might be -iveu to the currency if gold certificates of the denom inations of $3 and $10 were issued, tie urges the necessity of an appropriation for the transportation of United States paper currency to Washington for re demption. With perhaps a trifling ad ditional outlay the people could be k» pt supplied, free of cost to them, witn a good, clean and fresh paper currency, thus greatly lessening the danger of counterfeiting. The laws and practices hereunder relating to abraded or otherwise uncurrent coins are referred to as possibly capable of amendment so as to extend to the metallic circulation. The treasurer claims that the salaries paid to the officers of the treasury are inadequate compensation for the duties performed, being less than those paid in well-managed private institutions, and less even than . are paid in the subtreasury in New York. The whole number employed in the whole treasury system is* 515, at an average cost of $1,400 for salaries. The Bank of England, whose business is almost ex actly the same as that of the treasury, with the addition of one . private de posit and discount, employs 1,100 per sons, at an average cost of $1,440. No changes of importance have occurred in the routine business, other than those incident to the increase of the revenues. The immense operations of the year were accomplished with the movement of about $100,000,000 less money in and out of treasury than was found neces sary the previous year, In conclusion, the treasurer commends the officers and employes associated with him for the manner in which they, have pci formed their duties.

DREADFUL PSORIASIS Covering Entire Body With. White Scales. Siitleriii. Fearful. Cured by Cuticura. My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my left cheek, spreading across my nose, and al most covering my face. It ran into my eves, and the physician was afraid - 1 would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out. until I fif^*-^ '(•? was entirely bald-headed; it ' then broke out -on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell con stantly . from my head, shoulders and arms; the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if scratched. After spending many hundreds of dollars, ■-. .. — i was pronounce- incur able. I heard of the Cdticcra Remedies, and after using two bottles Cuticura Re solvent. I could see a change; ' and after I had taken four bottles.' I was almost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, one . box of Clticcra, and one cake of Cutjccra Soap. I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I cannot express with a pen what I suffered before using the Reme dies.

People have been flooded of late with "Gov-, ernment Statistics," "Chemical Analyses," "Official Re ports,'.' etc., regarding the comparative merits of various Baking Powders, until. it has become really monotonous. The proprietors of "Thepure" Baking Powder do not wish to weary the public in this manner, but aim to pro duce a perfectly pure Baking Powder, and allow it to be judged by its results, rather than by puzzling dia grams and statistics. A Diagram will not make good bread. You cannot bake cake with an Analysis. Pastry compounded with Statistics would be very unpalatable. What people want is a Baking Powder that is. pure, wholesome and efficient; and this is precisely what "Thepuke" Baking Powder is. Ask your grocer for it.
