Washington, Nov. 25. The forthcoming report of Hon. Mr. Lacy, the comptroller of the currency covers the year ended October 31, 1889, at which time there were in existence 3,319 national banks, the largest number in operation since the inauguration of the system.

These associations possess an aggregate capital cf $620,174,285. The last reports Reports Made to the Postmaster General The Money Order Business. Washington, Nov. 25. Chief Postof-fice Inspector E.

G. Rathbone, in his annual report to the postmaster general, states that 6,560 complaints were made of losses in the domestic registered mail. Of this number 3,998 cases have been investigated, leaving 3,562 cases in the hands of the inspectors. Charles F. MacDonald, the superintendent of the money order office of the postoffice department, in his annual report to the postmaster general shows the the number of domestic orders issued during the year to have been 10,130,140, which is an increase as compared with the previous year of 170,933.

The amount of domestic orders issued was a decrease of $4,567,219. The fees received from the public for domestic money orders amounted to $933,607. The gross revenues of the office are: Domestic money order business, gross revenue postal note business, international, $125,931 total gross revenues, $785,484.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25. The Driggs-Schroeder rapid firing gun, invented by Lieut. Driggs and Schroeder, United States navy, has been sold to English capitalists for $600,000. Lieut, Schroeder is the commander of the'dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, and Lieut.

Driggs is one of ihe best authorities in the navy on ordnance matters, having been graduated from Annapolis at the head of his class. The sale has consummated in this city last week, and it is stated the two inventors were paid the full purchase price in cash. The advantages of the new gun consist in its light weight and rapid firing capacity. It weighs only fifteen pounds, is made of the strongest kind of steel and can fire a shot three miles. It can be fired three times as fast as the famous English Armstrong gun.

All the work will be done in England, excepting the guns sold to the United States government, which will be manufactured here, owing to the act of congress requiring all ordnance used in the army and navy to be made in this country.

Wichita, Nov. 25. A special to the Eagle says: At an early hour this morning the report reached nearly everybody in town that cracksmen had been at work and had operated on the best filled safe in town, outside the banks. Many started for the Missouri Pacific depot where report said the work had been done. It was not long before a large crowd was on hand, but was kept back by the agents.

The safe was used by the Pacific Express company, and the public all day long was denied by the agents. The facts known to them this evening, one of them told the Eagle representative, that on the tram reaching here last night from Wichita, the express company had $1,000 in currency from the Citizens' Bank of Wichita to the Citizens' of Conway, and also $1,000 from the Wichita National to the Sumner County bank here. This was in the safe with about $2C0 other money in charge of the express company and a lesser amount belonging to the Missouri Pacific. No money was found in the wreck, hence the loss is probably more than $2,200. The railway's detective was on hand to-night and examined the work said it had been done by clever hands.

The lock had been drilled just right to give the powder the most power. Many persona now remember hearing a report some time in the night and the time is placed all the way from midnight to 3 a. in. There are suspicions as to the guilty parties and very strong, but more would be said if the loss should fall upon any private citizen or local company. It might be unfair or uncharitable to give names at present, but few will be surprised if certain ones here are found to be guilty.

It is not believed that at all parties concerned live here, however. MISSOURI'S TRUST LiW. order transactions, so that the money order system was very nearly self -sustaining during the fiscal year. The International Washington, Nov. 25.

Twenty-eight delegates were present this afterooon when the international American conference was called to order. Dr. Zegarra of Peru, presided. The temporary secretary, Guseman, read the report of the committee on credentials, reporting favorably on the credentials of the Brazilian delegates and Mr. Cornelius Bliss.

Without objection and with some applause the report was adopted and the Brazilian delegates seated. Dr. Nin moved to proceed to the election of two secretaries. This motion prevailed and the names of F. G.

Piera and H. Ransom Whitehouse were submitted by the foreign and United States delegates respectively. Both of the nominations were accepted and Mr. Piera took his place. r.

Whitehouse is absent from the city, but will be here in a few days. The conference next resumed the consideration of the rules beginning with the eighth rule, governing the method of recognition of delegates by the president, and this consumed the time up to the adjournment.

These banks held $194,972,000 in United States bonds, (of which were to secure circulating notes,) $164,326,449 of specie, and $88,752,093 of legal tender notes.

Within the year 211 banks were organized, having an aggregate capital of These banks deposited with the treasurer to secure circulation 43,758,550 United States bonds, upon which were issued $3,812,975 in circulating notes. Thirty-six of the new banks were organized in Texas, the largest number in any. one state. The state of Pennsylvania has now the largest number of associations in operation; Massachusetts leads in points of capital stock, and New York in respect to deposits and volume of business. The large number of new banks entering the system and their wide distribu tion is an evidence, the comptroller says that the system is adapted to the various conditions existing within the extreme limits of the national domain.

Wichita, Nov. 25. Special. The first announcement of the appointment of Cairns for marshal there was considerable good feeling stirred up among the jointists, for wasn't Cairns himself a jointist, and wouldn't he stand iu with them? But to-day the boys have begun to tumble to themselves and see that Messrs.

Lewis aud Stauley ere not reckoning without their host. In fact, it is now dawning on the boys that Cairns is put in for business, and that there will be no monkeying. The Wichita Beacon given a column to the matter, from which quote copiously: "Chief of Police Cairns. To some there may be an oddity about the new regime, but to the old citizeos of Wichita there is a familiarity about it. At the meeting of the board of police commissioners, Sat-day afternoon, James Cairns was appointed chief of police, much to the surprise of many.

The surprise, however wa3 not occasioned by any disbelief in Mr. Cairns' ability, but by the complete revolution of the tactics herefore practiced by the beard of metropolitan police commissioners, as it was generally believed that none but a radical prohibitionist would be appointed to the position, while on the contrary they appointed a man whose business up to the time he was appointed was that of selling beer and whisky as a wholesale dealer. "The appointment meets with general approbation, as the newly appointed chief of police is known to be a competent officer in every respect, fully acquainted with the police duties, having been connected with the police force of this city for fourteen years, ten years of which time he was city marshal. "He came to Wichita in 1870, before it was really a town, but merely a trading point on the Chisholm cattle trail. In the wild and turbulent days of 1873, when the town was overrun with gamblers, cowboys and desperadoes of the worst stamp, he was appointed to a position on the police force under Mike Meaghre, who was then marshal.

In those days it required something more than a moral reputation and a blue coat with brass buttons to be a policeman. It required a cool-headed man, with plenty of courage, quick to act and a dead shot when occasion demanded it. An officer's life was in jeopardy every hour in those days, for Wichita was situated upon the edge of civilization, the Mecc a for desperadoes, where but little law was recognized save that forced at the end of a six-shooter. "He served two years under Mike Meaghre, and when Bill Smith was elected to succeed Mike Meaghre as marshal "Jimmy" Cairns served two years longer, under Smith. At the expiration of the lat-ter's term of office, Cairns resigned from the force and went to Texas, where he remained one summer, after which he returned to Wichita.

When Sol Kohn was elected mayor he appointed James Cairns city marshal, which position Mr. Cairns held continuously for ten years, finally resigning when the metropolitan police Silver Men Are Elated Over the Promising Outlook. St. Louis, Nov. 25.

A large number of the delegates to the national Bilver convention to be called to order at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning in Music hall, arrived in the city by last night's and this morning's trains. The opinion is that the convention has already advanced silver at least four cents an ounce, and it is a frequently heard prediction tllat the white metal will go to one dollar before Christmas. The credit class of the east it is claimed is alarmed, and is already willing to accept as a compromise the coinage of $4,000,000 per month or double the amount now turned out. The silver men now in the city, however, are opposed to any compromise. They demand full and free coinage and will stand on that line until they secure it.

They expect the fight to be a long one, but they expect the first results before the end of the year. The Cronin Trial.

La Crosse, Nov. 25.

Special The command of God to Israel at one time wes, When thou hearest the sounds of the going in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shall bestir thyself, for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philisunes." I think, Mr. Editor, that the temperance hosts of God, the lovers of home and purity, have heard the sounds of the going in the mulberry trees. They are bestirring themselves. Hence the forward march and uprising all over the state. They have now risen to give the rum traffic its final and eternal death blow in this state.

London, Nov. 25. Mr. McKinnon, the president of theEmin relief committee, has received another letter from Henry M.

Stanley. It was written in camp at Kizinga Usinja, and dated Aug. 17. Mr. Stanley says that Emin, with Selim Bey, seven officers and sixty-five people, arrived at his camp on Feb." 17.

Lieut. Stairs arrived on the 18th with his column from the Ituri. At a meeting on the 18th, Selim, who had retaken Dufile from the Mahdists, killing 250 of them, stated on behalf of the deputation that they had come to request time to allow the equatorial troops and their families to assemble at Kavalli. Mr. Stanley continues: "I explained through Emin Pasha the object of my expedition and offered them a promise writ ten in Arabic to wait a reasonable time for them to oin me.

The deputation replied that my offer was satisfactory. They said that they would proceed directly to Wad-elai and proclaim it, and commence the work of transportation. The deputation started for Wadelai on the 26th. Emin returned on the 27th with his little daughter, Ferida, and a caravan of 144 men. He and I agreed that twenty days was a reasonable time." Stanley then bitterly complained of the immense loads of property the refugees brought in, detailing endless work upon his men to bring to the plateau and which was practically rubbish, because it must be abandoned on the march.

On March 1 he ordered the stuff to be stopped from being brought to camp. Thirteen hundred and fifty-five loads "had already been brought in. A month after Selim's departure a letter arrived from him announcing that rebels, officers and everybody were anxious to depart for Egypt under my escort. Stanley, now finding great delay likely in assembling the refugees, called a council of the officers and stated In detail the position of the case, and also the danger of trusting the rebels implicitly, as Emin was inclined to do, when they had already boasted of their intention, with cajoling words, to entrap Stanley and strip his expedition. Finally Stanley asked the officers whether he would be ustified in waiting beyond April Each officer replied in the negative.

"There, Pasha," I said, "you have your answer." We marched on the 10th. In reply to Emin's question, I said we would certainly acquit him of having abandoned the people if they have not arrived. Then a few days later Emin was troubled by the Casati's scruples as to whether they were jutified if they abandoned the people. Stanley deals at length with these difficulties and convinced Emin that food was plentiful. The natives showed no disposition to depart.

On April 5 Emin informed me that but few of his servants would go. Here was a disappointment, exclaims Stanley. Oat of 10,000 only a few were willing to accompany me. We all had our eyes opened. It was a farce on the part of the Wadelai force.

It was clear that the pasha no longer had authority. Yet Emin was obstinate in his belief in them. The pasha said, "never mind, I can do with two servants as well as with fifty." At this time, continues Mr. Stanley, "I discovered conspiracies in the camp. The Egyptians tried to steal rifles of the Zan-zibaris, and the number of malcontents kept increasing.

Emin had also received news of a bad state of things at Wadelai. Therefore I decided upon immediate action. I formed a square of rifles and assembled all the Pasha's people within it. Those who refused to come were arrested and placed in irons and some were flogged. All denied any knowledge of a plot.

I told ail who desired to accompany me to stand aside, and through the Pasha, threatened to exterminate them wholly if there were any more rebellious tricks. This muster consisted of about 600 peisons. On the 10th we started, numbering about 1,500 persons, including 350 newly enrolled native carriers. On the 12th we camped at Mazambonis, and that night was struck down with a severe illness. The intercepted letter of Selim revealed another plot to attack the expedition.

On May 7th a letter was received from Selim containing various insolent charges against us, and an appeal to wait longer for them, the rebels having again robbed them of all their ammunition. Stanley replied, offering to go slowly so as to enable them to overtake him, but he never heard any more from Selim. "We resumed the march on May 8th, and adopted a route skirting the Tabala-ga mountains, forty miles from Nyanza, arriving at the southern part pf the mountains, we had a successful encounter with the king of Ungoro, which cleared the route as far as the Seliki river." The remainder of the letter consisted of geographical details and accounts of occasional brushes with natives. A Dastardly Act. Kansas City, Nov.

They Will Fight the Law. Kansas City, Nov. 25. F. M.

Lowe, candidate for governor on the Prohibition ticket, in an interview to-day said that the party would contest at the next election the law by putting a ticket in the field. Mr. Lowe says the Prohibition party will place a ticket in the field at the next election in the same manner it has always done and that the election tickets will be forwarded to the secretary of state for his approval. If they are not approved, mandamus proceedings will be commenced against him in order to compel him to recognize the legality of the tickets. Mr.

Lowe says the Prohibition party proposes to fight the law to the last. English Markets. London, Nov. 25. The Mark Lane Ex facilities.

This growing tendency to incorporate under the statutes of the several states is charged directly to the fact, says the comptroller, that no profits result to the banks by reason of the deposit of bonds and the issue of circulating notes. It is claimed, in fact, he says, that an actual loss results in many western states and in the territories where interest is highest and banking facilities most needed. It is deemed certain by the comptroller that the withdrawal of bonds held in excess of the minimum required will continue so long as the present conditions exist, and it is asserted that legislation is needed to prevent a contraction of the volume of national bank currency. In the opinion of the comptroller, the laws governing national banks should be amended as to produce the following modifications: First The minimum deposit of bonds to secure circulation should be fixed at 10 per cent, of capital, in respect to associations having a capital of $300,000 or Ies9, and for all banks having a greater capi tal, a minimum deposit of $30,000 in bonds should be required. Second Circulation should be issued to the par value of the bonds deposited.

Third Semi-annually duties on circulation should be so regulated as to equal one fourth of 1 per cent, per annum. It is held that these changes in the law would do little more than to save the national banks from loss on account of circulation if the present premium on United States bonds is maintained. In submitting this recommendation the comptroller states that he has been largely influenced by the increased accessions to the system from western and southern states, and the evidence daily accumulating that it is not only adapted to the wants of the vast area now inadeouately supplied with banking facilities, but that its adoption has become more fully appreciated, it being of the greatest importance to those regions that the abundant capital of the older states be utilized, and through no other agency can this be so effectively accomplished.

The St. Louis Stamping Company is among the list of companies whose charters are forfeited. This company, of which Congressman Niedring-haus is at the head, will assume the burden of resisting the law. In refusing to make the required affidavit, the attorneys of the stamping company have notified the secretary that they are operating under patents granted by the United States; that some of their stockholders are living in other states and the Missouri law tends to abrogate the interstate law; for this and other reasons they propose as speedily as possible to carry the matter before the United States court, where the power of the state in the premises will be definitely determined. The secretary will, some day this week, reply to the claim of the St.

"Are you going to close the joints?" was asked. "Yes, sir. I'm going to close the joints, and in this matter I will play no favorites. Of course, it's an utter impossibility to stop the sale of beer and whiskey, but I can stop the joints. Understand me, I'm not a 'prohibitionist by any means, but on the contrary I am opposed to prohibition, and have been selling 'booze' myself right along, but I want to see thts law wiped out, and the quickest way to get rid of it is to enforce it rigidly.

I want to sell whisky, and I am in favor of paying $1,200 license in advance and giving a bond of 5.000. High license is what I am in favor of and hope to see, with respectable saloons running instead of these dives and joints that we now have.

We lost $3,000 in the business, while one firm I know of in this city is indebted to Blatz $11,000 for beer." "Chief of Police Cairns took his oath of office Saturday evening, but did not enter upon the discharge of his duties until this afternoon.

Whether or not he will make any changes in the officers under him, remains to be seen, but that there will be some removals from the force, by the commissioners, is inferred from the remark of Commissioner Stanley, who remarked Saturday that the board had made a great mistake in appointing men upon the force simply upon the recommendation of being moral men, as moral men were all right in some places, but that it required tomething more than morality to make a policeman."

Bloomington, 111., Nov. 25. The appellate court has rendered a decision in favor of the city of Bloomington in its case against Mrs. Washburne, of the Salvation Army. The decision establishes the right of cities and towns to protect themselves against the alleged objectionable practices of the Salvationists.

They made a practice of parading the streets in the night, blowing horns and pounding on an immense bass drum. Mayor Mason ordered that the drum beating cease, and when Mrs. Washburne appeared on the streets and violated the mandate she was arrested and fined. The case was taken to the circuit court where the decision was affirmed. It then went to the appellate court and has again been affirmed.

The process of investigation to which pension appeals are subjected, says the assistant secretary, is distinct from the method which applied to the original examination of claims in the bureau of pensions, and yet the two are related, inasmuch as the adjudication of each appeal is based upon the commissioner's adverse decision of the claim, the record and all accompanying papers being taken from the files of the bureau and carefully reviewed.
