CAPITAL BUDGET.
TDK X.VTIO:,"AL KAKS.
Wasiijxoton'. Nov. 2o. The annual re
port of lion. Win, L. Trenholm, comp
troller of currency, contains suggestions
for the amendment of the national bank
law in about a dozen instances, including
the contingent liability of share holders,
requirements as to reserve, the limit on
loans to individuals, more thorough exam
ination of banks and their protection
against unqualified taxation. The spucinc
charter ol tucso Miggcsuons is wiiunem lor
the present.
Three thousand one hundred and eighty
national banks have been organized in all,
of which 2,$ are now in operation. Of
thee, 17-1 have been organized during the
past year, with a capital of S21.000.000:
circulation $2,900,000. Twenty-four banks
went into oluntary liquidation during
the year; one ceased to exist by expiration
of iU charter ami eight failed. Sinco the
beginning of the system in ISG'.i only one
hundred and twelve national banks have
failed: of thes", thirty-MX paid their cred
itors in full and twenty-eight have
paid interest besides fifteen in full
and five in part. Over 90 per cent, of all
national bank stocks is held by residents of
the state in which the bank is located:
more than 91 per cent. i3 held by natural
persons, and over 9(5 per cant, of tho num
ber of shareholders are natural porous.
The total number of shareholders is 22o,
000; the total number of shares over 7,000,
000. The effect of the reduction of the public
debt and high premium on bonds upon thf:
volume of national bank circulation is very
fully illustrated in tho report. The con
traction i national bank circula
tion du:I.. ..... year exceeds $."36,000,000.
Besides the usual table showing the
condition of national banks at various
dates the repoit this ycur contains an ab
stract which hpecifies each item of their re
sources and liabilities, the banks in the
several staks-; reserve, the cities and terri
tories have their condition stated separate
ly. A large diagram exhibiting the main
features of the national banking system
and their variations during the pasttv.en-t--L'iif
years accompanies the report. From
this it appears that the aggregate deposit
in the bank- have increased irom K."22,
000,000 in January, ISM. to $1,173,000,
000 in October, 1SS0; while loans and dis
count; have ris-u from $."500,000,000 to
$1,-1-1),000,00. The specie held by the na
tional banks in Ibtio was $19,000000; in
October, lS7f), it was onlv $800,000, while
in ,lulv. ISG, it was $177,000,000, it is
now $1.jG,000,000.
Mr. Trenholm decliues to say whether
his repoit contains any specific recom
mendations in regard to a mollification of
the law making United States bonds the
basis of the national bank curreney, Lhit it
is understood at the department that he has
picsented a strong array of facts and tiguros
showing how valuable the system has be
come to the entire country.aud how impor
tant it is that it should be made adapt.-.ble
to the needs of communities in the west
and south, where v.-iat natural resources
await development bv aid of outside capi
tal. POSTAL POINT-.
The third assistant postmaster general,
Hazen. in his annual report to the post
master general, refer5 to the encouraging
outlook" for the current year and saj's there
is scarcely a doubt that it will realize a
still greater improvement in the postal rev
enue. The labor troubles were ettlcd
early in the year, a fair degree of pro-per-ity
has attended the business of the country
during the past four month-, and all the
indications at the present time look to its
continuance, if not a still further improve
ment. None of the sources of the postal
revenue have len injuriously effected by
changes during the present year.
The report says that additional revenues
may be expected from the e.teu&Kn of the
special delivery system, the admission of
liquids as mail matter, and the important
reduction in tne priee of stamped envel
opes. In the contracts entered into for the
next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1SS-S. he
estimates the deficiencey of revnuc to
Ito supplied out of the ceneral treasury at
$4,729,523. which is only $b2-l,0l 1 uWe
than the amount charged to the treasury.
In the year ended June 30, lfcSl. it wa
52,170,612 less than fur the year ended
June Go, 1S-S3. The climated amounts
chargeable to the genera! treasury for the
eurreut aud next iwsd year will probably
be greatly reduced both by an increase of
tlie"otiina;t"d noial revenue and by a de
crease of the estimated expenditures.
From the tendencies shown it is evident
I that with a prosperous condition m the
i business of the country to favorably ia-
ilnence the revenue and with a continued
It exerefce of care in nrulatinsr the expendi
tures, the postal scrVirc will &?ain a; no
distant day become a -self-supporting in
stitution. I WILt TBST THK TTTLK.

ARREST OF EXECUTION.
Judro Scott Grants a Supersedeas in
the Anarchists,' Case.
Bloominuto.v, III.. Nov. 23. At 11
o'clock this morning Judge Scott granted
:; supersedeas in the anarchists' case.
Messrs. Black, Scott and Solomon started
at once to Ottawa to have the clerk issue
the order in pursuance to Judge Scott's in
structiou-. The effect of the order for the
supersedeas will be to delay the execution
until the full bench of the supreme court
lias passed upon questions raised for trial.
It is estimated that in the ordinary course
of proceedure a hearing and decision can
not be reached for six or eight weeks; that
even though the lower court is sustained,
the sentence can not be carried out until
some time in March or April.
Judge Scott's order granting the super
sedeas is purely formal; without going
into any particulars or giving any rea-ons
lie simply certifies that m his opinion there
is grounds for granting the writ. The
news was received by the condemned men
quietly with some expressions of pleasure,
hut few of surprise. They treated the su
persedeas as a matter of course, and said
little except to intimate an increasing be
lief that the Illinois supreme court would
grant them a new trial, though they admit
ted having been still more contiiient that
Judge Gary's rulings would be in their
favor.
Chicago, Nov. 20. The points made in
the brief in behalf of the anarchists which
the attorneys desire to argue before the su
preme court, are the ones raised during
the trial and argued before Judge Garry
on the motion for a new trial, that the
judge allowed jurors to try the case who
admitted on examination that they had
opinions; that he ruled that a juror under
examination was not disqualiued even
though he had a fixed opinion at the time
of the examination that would require evi
dence to overcome, provided he would
swear ho could render an im
partial verdict; that when; the proposed
jurors admitted prejudice or bias
against socialist-, anarchists or communists,
the judge refund to iillow counsel for de
fendants to ask whether the prejudice was
sucli as to materially affect the weight thoy
would accord to the evidence of defend
ants if it should appear that they or some
of them, were socialists, anarchists or com
munists; that they were refused to allow
challenge for cause on account of such
prejudif?; that the bailiff selected men un
favorable to defendants so that their per
emptor challenges might be sooner ex
hausted; that in giving instructions the
eomt preceeded upon the erroneous
theory that defendants might
be convicted without the ata'e
bein;r objured by leiral evidence to
identify the principal or to show that de
fendants r-.d vised, or even had knowledge
of tho commission of particular acts by
principal; that the court rcluscu t. give
any instru .tion allowing the jury to con
sider whether the unknown homo thrower?
mitrht n-t have thrown the bomb under
some sudden provocation by reason of the
supposed unlaw tut attack ot the police
upon a peaceable, lawful assemblage; that
there can be no conviction of an accessory
without the identidcation of principals;
that instructions were given by Judge
Gary or his own motion in which he un
dertook to summarize and condense all the
ies;ruc"ions in the ea.'-o w:ls improper aud
fat.dlv defe-tive.
Chicago, Nov. 2"i. A special to the
Inter Ocean from Ottawa, 1H.. savs coun
sel for the condemned anarchists arrived
this evenirg but did not press the supreme
couit to immediately iwue tne supersedeas
ordered by Chiet Justice fccott. there
was a question as to the legality of having
the writ taued on Thanksgiving.

Surcease 'Xeath tne Surf.
P.vni3, Ky., Nov. 25. The community
was- aroused this morning over the reprotcd
disappearance of A. Xewhoff, a prominent
dry goods merchant of this city. Careful
investigation showed that lie had hist been
seen yesterday morning about 0 o'clock
going to Stone's creek, a mile above town.
In a short time a letter was found in a
drawer, on the back of which was written
these words: "You will find me in the
creek near my old '.idling place." A search
ing party was at once organized to look fur
the lhxly. After digging for som time
just below the mouth of Jvenuedys creek
the grappling hooks caught the Ixvly, ard
it was pulled to the surface. The body was
taken to town, where an inquc.it was held,
the verdict being suk-ide by drowning
under a temporary fit of insanity.
As far as can be learned the impelling
caue teamed to lo as follows: Nuwhoil
and a lail' in businesj in this city ordered
. lot of arns from a Philadelphia firm.
The goods were ordered separately, but th
nrm shipped both orders to the lady, aud
-he. padmbly w ith no wrong intent, put
them both n her shelves. In cotir-e of
time Xewhoff dL-'cn-.i-red the mfatsk :. and
wrote a letter to the firm, in which, it :s
said, he used caustic language con;eroin

3Irs. Jas- Patton. 10 Newhoff, and Xew
hoiTs clerk states wanted him to sign a re
traction, which he refused to do. A broth
er of the lady afterwards visited Newh"ff
for the same purpose.
B.dug a timid man, and doubtless ren
dered teinperarily inssne by the trouble, he
resolved on suicide. His overmat was
found hanging on a limb, and near the
creek bankhLs umbrelhi was lyinsr. Be
fore leaving home he enref ully brushed his
elotbej and overcoat and went away under
no apparent excitement. He leaves a wife
and one child, a daughter about grown.
He was a kind ituband and father, an ex
cellent citizen, and leaves a large circle of
of friend'. His financial condition k aaid
to be excellent.

Experiments in Snsar llafciu;?.
Fokt Scott, Kan., Nov. 25. The ex
periment conducted here by the department
of agriculture on Louisiana sugar caiie
ceased today with the yield of second sug
ars, the second boiliuggiving nine pounds
of sugar to a ton of caue. The tirats gave
W4.4 pounds to a ton of caue: the second
added to the first give l-l'J.4 pounds per
ton. Estimating the sugar from the third
boiling, now in progress, at one half of
the seconds, as per u&ual basis, aud the to
tal yield of the first run of Louisiana caue
was 147.9 pounds of sugar per ton of caue.
The first run of Louisiana cane gave con
siderably less and this is a great disap
pointment to the advocates of carbonation
and fails far below the estimate.! of Chief
Chemist Wiley, based upon his first run of
tires. This is accounted for by the fact
that the first boiling was not only to grain
but to string proof, thus practically giving
the whole sugar crop in the first boiling,
and thfc experiment but confirms the re
sult of the experiments with sorghum caue.
namely: that diffusion extracts practical!'
all the sugar, and is a success, while car
bonation as a method of treating the juice
is a failure, and this, again, is only a con
firmation of like experiments on tropical
cane made in different parts of the world
extending over a period of several years.
The success of diffusion is a great point
gained for sorghum, as the crushing pro
cess gives a relatively iarger yield from the
tinner stock of the tropical cane than froin
the more spongy sorghum cane btalks. Ex
periments which are being conducted by
the Parkinson Sugar Co. give the most en
couraging results in the matter of sugar re
fining. By reboiling and graining the su
irar m the vacuum pan, a beautiful sugar
i.s being produced, greatly to the encour
agcm.'iitof the sorghum industry which
the government experiments were designeo
to promote, but which were conducted as
if to demonstrate and promote the beet su
gar interests.
Carbonation as applied to both tropical
and sorghum sugar cane gives no mote
sugar, ami that ut a purer quality, than
the old proeos, while the moU-ses, a valu
able product from both, ii wholly de
stroyed by the former. Representatives
here from" the southern cane interests are
auxioulv inquiring whether the fatal poli
cy of treading dilfussion juice by carbona
tion will be pursued by the agricultural
department in the sugar experiments about
to be undertaken by it in Loiwuna, and
Chief Chemist Wiley construes tho law
making the appropriation as requiring the
pursuit of this t-eemingly insane policy.
Better things are expected of Commissioner
Coleman who it is believed will require the
adoption of a more rational system aud lh"
abandonment of exploded theories and ex
pensive hobbies.

one can be arranged. I do not offer this
m the form of a challenge, remember, lmt
if anyone comes forward and wishes n:e to

No, I do not go to the antipodes to nice
Malone. I will meet anybody there who
feels disposed to retire," I do not know
that Myers is also preparing to visit Aus

tention there will be some grand races
then.". Harry Hutching, thT wonderful
runner of England, is now en route to
Australia, and I dare say he will be anxious
to meet all these who travel there. I m-1
tend to make New York my permanent
home, but I will not settle down for good
until next year. After leaving Australia,
I will journey direct to England, and after
vi-hing foraiew day.- on friends will come
hither." Yes, my raiws with Cummings
were hard one-. " In the first, over a mile
course, he fell down fifty yards from home.
The second race, four mile's, he won. The
third event, ten miles. I captured easily.
In this race Cummings broke down com

ance f concord among alt the powers
l"he influence whkh acenie to GTinau

coarlilence reposed in the empire, owing to
the fart that tJennany is not roaeerned in
pending questions and from the empirr's
tiose iriendship with the neighboring
courts.
Tho emierors ieeeh annwinces that
measures will Iw introilHced to raise thu
effective strength of the German army,
which he says is justified by the inerer.s.ng
of the armies of neighboring states. The
measure, hu says, is indlpcnsible to (lir
man sccurty. Tlie refcwiTes roquired will
be rais-etl by increasing matriculatorv i.n
tributions and applying them to the publu
