CASH MORE PLENTIFUL REVIEW OF THE COUNTRY’S COMMERCIAL SITUATION. Ill* Mosey Market Stringent at Most Important Commercial Center*— Speculation Said to Be the Cause—Government Effort* to Relievo the Stringency. Dun’s weekly review of trade has this, to say: “The last week has fully justified those who gave warning that the money ease, caused by treasury disbursements, could be but temporary. The market here has been tight; with extreme rates paid in some eases. At Boston and Philadelnhia monetary pressure also affects business; at Chicago the market* is somewhat firmer and the demand active: at St. Louis stiff at 7 to 8 per cent; at Kansas City more firm; at Omaha a trifle close, but fairly supplied.* at Milwaukee very active and to some extent disturbed by a large lumber failure in the interior; at Detroit the demand is strong at 7 per cent; at Cleveland the tightness is » rightly ascribed to the volume of business; at Pittsburg the demand is fair at «5 to 7 per cent, and only at New Orleans of the cities reporting is the market easier. “The immediate fright at New YorK was about supposed eonrmous demands for payment of duties if the new tariff should go into effect Oct 1. The fact, as officially reported, is that less than $9,000,000 will pay full duties on all goods in warehouse on which the rates have been increased, but no one supposes that the entire quantity would be taken out, and meanwhile the treasury is now offering to pay 0nt520,900,000 for 4% per cents and $23.00'1,009 more in prepayment of interest on the 4Ji per cents. If there were no speculative tendency interfering with free movements of crops, commercial bills would soon draw money from abroad, but an unfavorable crop report causes higher prices for staples, and prior to that the exports had been verv light, prices here being too high for foreign markets. “The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 193, as compared with 203 the previous week and 199 the week previous to that. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 193.°“ Washington dispatch: Gen. Nettleton. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in response to inquiries has issued the following information: “The Treasury Department to-day, in addition to its regular disbursements, which were unusually heavy, paid out $2,348,539 on account of bond purchases and advance interest.as follows: Interest prepaid, $2.06?,000: redemption of 4j<s, $335,505. purchase of 4 per cents $750,i)00. The 4 per cents purchase to-day were accepted at 125. This is the first considerabfte purchase of 4 per cents for some time, and the price paid is 1 per cent above that hitherto paid under, the circular of July 19. It is there may be an impression among holders of 4 per cent bonds that the government has withdrawn from the market for 4 per cents, This is not the fact,as the, treasurer is ready to take a considerable amount of 4s if they are to be had. “The inquiry instituted yesterday by the Secretary of the Treasury developed the fact that the total balance of duties due on all imported merchandise in bond at the port of New York on Oct. 1 was only $17,500,900. Only a moderate portion of these goods will be subject to increased duty.under the schedule in the new tariff bill. These facts Would seem to indicate that anxiety based on this feature of the situation has be?." largely without foundation. “As a further measure of relief, in .-o far as the existing stringency can reasonably be said to be due to the inevitable operations sos existing laws governing the collection and disbursement ofthe government revenue the Treasury department will not hesitate to apply such effective remedies as the law permits and the situation requires. The Secretary of the Treasury on his return to Washington from New England will be in New York to-morrow and will adopt such a course as shall seem to him timely and calculated to meet the difficulty as it exists.’’ Cresson (Fa.) dispatch: The President is watching the tone of the money market with a view to meeting any further emergencies. He swent nearly two hours yesterday conferring by telegraph with the Treasury Department. The result was the issuance of orders by the President to anticipate the inter est on outstanding currency 6 per cent bonds to an amount not exceeding $5,000,000; to offer to pay 125 for outstanding 4 per cem bonds instead of 124, the rate heretofore offered. PROTEST AGAINST THE GRANT. Coffee Merchant* Object to Privileges Given Promoters of Auctions. Rio Janeiro cable: The coffee merchants met in this city the other day to protest against the grant made by the goyerhment to the organizers of the proposed coffee auctions of the privileges of shipping coffee sold at those auctions without immediate payment of export duties. This grant, which allows the first payment on account of the duty to be make at the end of two years, and the other payments gradually thereafter, Is called by an evening paper a usurpation and a scandal. One of the grounds on which the minister of finance attempts to justify his measure is tbs assertion that within a few months congress will approve the constitution published by the government abolishing export duties. This paper asks him whether he thinks the future congress so servile that he can anticipate its action. It is stated that the person obtaining the grant is a relative of Deodor as. THREE INDIANS KILLED. . I The Prairie Band of Pottawattamie* Wind Up a Council with a Row. Topeda (Kan.) dispatch: Information has been received here that the council of the Prairie Band of the Pottawattomies, held a few days ago on the reservation in Jackson county, this State, terminated in a row, in which three of the leaders xvere killed and several others wounded. There are two bands, one known as the Little Soldiers, composed of all Indian,*, and the other known as the Big Soldiers, composed of full-bloods, half-bloods and squaw men. The trouble grew out of the President’s order to sectiqnizo, for the consideration of which the council has been called. The Little Soldiers’ band favor obeying the President's order which the Big Soldiers’band oppose. The Sailor Prince In a Row. Montreal (Que.) dispatch: Prince George had an exciting adventure here a few nights ago. With one of his Heutenants he started out as a sailor to ’do the town! They were attacked 8y six ruffians who demanded money, and being hard pressed stood back to back and fought their assailants. Three of the ruffians were laid low by the Prince, and two by the lieutenant. Then a policeman coming along and seeing five men stretched on the ground, arrested the Prince and his companion and took them to the station. Soon afterward, the chief being summoned, they were recognized and released.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS. MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. * AS «h* Nation** Capitol—What I* Bataff Done by the Senate and House—Old Matters Disposed Os and NewOneeConsideretL After a debate that has histed practically without intermission since July 22 the tariff bill was read a third time in the Senate oh the 9th inst., and is now ready for Its passage. The Senate met at 10 o’clock and resumed consideration of the tariff bill. A number of amendments were proposed and rejected, after which Mr. Aldrich moved to insert a proviso that imported merchandise deposited in any public or private bonded warehouse prior to Aug. 1, 1890, may be withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to Nov. 1,1890, on paymentof the duties in force prior to the passage of the act. Agreed to —yeas, 32; nays, 27. Mr. Aldrich’s amendment authorizing the President to remit under certain conditions taxes on sugars, molasses, coffee, and tea imported from countries where duties are abolished on the principal agricultural products of the United States was adopted—yeas, 37; nays, 28. All the Democratsand two Republicans (Edmunds and Evarts) voted against the reciprocity amendment. The next vote was or the amendment « to paragraph 703, lowering the sugar standard to be admitted free of duty from No. 16 to No. 13. It was agreed to—yeas, 39; nays, 24. The bill was then reported to the Senate and all the amendments that had-been adopted in committee of the whole were agreed to in the Senate except those on wifich separate votes were demanded. The first of these was Mr. Plumb’s amendment for a customs commission, on which Mr. Gorman demanded a separate vote. The amendment was agreed to—yeas, 31; nays, 29. The commission is to be composed of five disinterested persons, to be appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The commissioners are to continue in office six years, but any of them may be removed by the President for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. No mere than three of them are to be appointee from the same political party. By a vote of 38 to 25—a strict party vote—the Senate ordered the tariff b,ill to a third reading and engrossment. The bill was ordered printed with the amendments, and the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned. The House wasted the day in an ineffectual attempt to call up the Virginia election case of Langston against Venable, The Senate met at 11 o'clock on the 10th inst., and after a few monu nts spent with routime business the tariff bill was taken up—the question being on its passage—with six hours allowed t > close the discussion, after which the vote was to be taken. Mr. Hoar was the first to addr *ss the Senate. Referring to the reciprocity proposition, he said that he had voted for it with some hesitation and should not have done so if he had thought that the scheme, contained in the amendment was all that was likely to come out “ of entering on that policy. He. however, regarded the amendment rather as a declaration of purpose than as a definition of legislativepolicy. and it*-was in that view that he had given it his support. After speeches by Messrs. Hiseock. Turpie, Gibson, Vest, Vancd, and Jones (Nev.) the vote was taken and the bill was passed—yeas. 40; nays. 29— a strict party vote., Mr. Aldrich moved that the Senate insist on its amehdmelts to the* House bill and ask for a committee of conference —the committee to consist of seven on each side. The motion was agreed to, and Messrs. Aldrich, Sherman. Allison, Hiscock, McPherson, Vance, and Carlisle were appointed conferrees on the part of the Senate. The Senate then adjourned. In the House the day was wasted in an ineffectual attempt to get a quorum to approve the previous day’s journal. In the Senate, on the 11th inst., on motion of Mr. Plumb, the conference report on the railroad land-forfeiture bill was taken up. The main proposition in the report is con- • tained in the fiist Section, as follows: “That there is hereby forfeited to the United States, and the United States hereby resumes the title thereto, all lands heretofore granted to any State or to any corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad (Xpposite to and coterminous with the porftion of any such- railroad not now " completed and in operation,, for the construction or benefit of which such lands) were granted ; and all such lands are declared to be a part of the public domain; provided, that this act shall not be construed as forfeiting the right of way or station ground of any railroad company heretofore granted.” Mr. Morgan opposed the report as a log-rolling scheme, got up for the benefit of all.the laud-grant roads. After speaking for over four hours Mr. Morgan said that lie knew that the questions which ’ he- had been discussing were going t > their grave In the passage of the bill, but that he had' desired to give them a decent burial, He had wished to erfect a headstone over the graves of the rights >f the people on the line of the Northern Pacific, so that the historic record might be read hereafter. Whenever the bill was pass* d. the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific Railroad lands would be dead and burieti. and nothing mere would be heard ab ut it. Without finishing his speech, Mr. Morgan yielded for a motion to adjourn, wh ch was carried. The House wasted the da .* without securing'* quorum to approve ti e previous day’s journal. ' ,' In the Senate, on the 12t 1 inst., Mr. Ingalls presented a petition fiom. citizens-of Missouri askingTbr the passage of the Federal election bills., Many petitions were presented for and against the passage of the “Compound lard bill. At the suggestion of Mr. Edmunds it was agr- ed that one hour be given each day (after the routine morning business) to bills on the calendar unobjected to. The following bills were passed? Authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi at Winona, Minn.; Senate bill to subject to State taxation national bank notes and United States Treasury notes the same as other money. House bill to limit to six years the tilne within which suits shall be brought against accounting officers and their sureties. , The conference report on the railroad land forfeiture bill was taken up, and Mr. Morgan continued bis argument in opposition to it. During the argument Mr. Gorman presented a telegram received by him from Senator McPherson, stating that he was indisposed and would not be able to act as a member of the conference committee on thetariff bill, and asking to be excused from serving. The request was complied and Mr. Voorhees was appointed a couferree in place of Mr. McPherson. After Mr. Morgan had spoken about two hours, the Senate was addressed by Mr. Sanders in favor of the adoption of the conference report. Mr. Hearst took the contrary view, and insisted that the mineral lands were specially reserved by the original grants and must be kept for the use of the peopje at large. Mr. Saunders said’’that in courts of his own State, of the State of California, and in the Supreme Court of the -United States,"the term “mineral lands” has been held to mean lands commercially valued for mining purposes. . Without concluding his argument Mr. Saunders yielded for a motion to proceed to executive business, and the Senate soon adjourned. In the House, during the roll-call, a message was received from the Senate announcing the passage of the tariff bill, with amendments, and by direction of the Speaker it was referred to the Committee on Ways anil Means. On the approval of the journal the quorum disappeared, and on motion of Mr. McKinley the House adjourned. In the Senate, on the 13th inst., Mr. Quay offered the usual resolutions of sorrow and condolence In regard to the death of Mr. Samuel J. Randall, and proceeded toaddress the Senate. Mr. Barbour and Mr. Plumb also eulogized the dead Speaker. Further eloquent tributes were paid by Senators Daniel, Cullom, Blackburn, Morgan, Gibson, “and Hiscock, and then as a further mark of respect the Senate adjourned. .. IN “A. MINEh” KEY.

Th* Effects of Mental Exhaustion. Many diseases, especially those of th* n*N Ttraa system, are the products of daily renewed mental exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an amount of mental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and the professions, if arduously pursued, arc no less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. It is one of the most important attributes of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters that it compensates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it imparts new energy to the brain and nerves. The rapidity with which it renews weakened mental energy and physical vitality is remarkable, and shows that its invigorating properties are of the highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina, and counteracting the effects of. mental exhaustion, this potential medicine cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness and other complaints. Physicians also commend it ! aa a medicated stimulant and remedy. Ln Training. Harry (looking over manuscript)—You don’t expect any editor will accept such stuff as that, do you? Jack—Certainly not!
