Washington, Sept. 1.—Up to
noon today applications for re-
demption of the 41 percent bonds
amounted to but $2,500,000, of
which $500,000 came in this morn-
ing. Applications for extensions
foot up to $23,500,000, of which
$200,000 forms today's grist. An
officer of the department said to a
Gazette correspondent this after-
noon that he anticipated that the
remainder of the $50,000,000
bonds of the outstanding loan will
come in by small sums during the
uext two months. A circular ex-
tending the time for continuance
will probably be issued tomor-
row.

tor, the statement that he is to
succeed that gentleman in the
cabinet took on some color. The
story is that the president has
made a deal. He is said to have
promised the governor Mr. Proc-
tor's place in exchange for Proc-
tor's appointment as Edmund's
successor.
People here think that Harri
son might make a worse trade,
but that he would not be a party
to swapping such high offices.

ed down his decision in an im-
portant point of law applicable to
the Australian ballot act. In the
case before the court an effort
was made by citizens of Revere
to oust members of the board of
selectmen, their most important
point being an allegation that sev-
eral persons who had no right to
vote voted for a certain candi-
date. The defendant's counsel
contended that under the Aus-
tralian ballot act it could not be
claimed after an election that per-
sons voted illegally where it did
not appear that the votes of such
persons were challenged in the
manner provided in the act. Judge
Lathrop sustained defendant's de-
fendant's demurrer, holding that
whore votes were not challenged
their legality cannot afterward be
a subject of inquiry.

New York, Sept. 1.—A special
to the Telegram from Saratoga
nays: A conference was held this
afternoon which will certainly
kave an important bearing upon
state politics. Representative
democrats from New York and
Buffalo were present.
The principal celebrity on hand
was Lieutenant Governor Jones,
who, at the conclusion ot the con-
fere ice, expressed a willingness
to accept an independent nomina-
tion for governor. It is known
that part of the plah of campaign
decided upon is a convention at
Albany of a Central Labor Union
of the'state, to be held between
the dates set for holding the re-
mclican and democratic state
ionventiou. This convention will
int Jones in nomination. This
mnch is known for a certainty,
that Lieutenant Governor Jones
will run for governor on the inde-
pendent ticket.

D. Patton, 33 years of age, a busi-

head bookkeeper for the wholesale
firm of Goldfrauk & Co., was shot
through the braia aud instantly
killed in his bedroom by a burglar
at an early hour this morning.
Entrance v.as made through a
rear window, and the burglar was
trying to pry open the wardrobe
when heard by Pctton, who slip-

and in the pitch dark grappled
with the intruder. The rest of the
story is best told in the words of
the widow- "I did not hear Mr.
Patton leave the bed. I was
awakened by a scuffling sound, as
though bare feet were gliding on
the carpet. Then I heard a man
say "Oh" as though he were
choking, and immediately after I
saw a flash of light aud a sharp
noise, as though a parlor match
had been struck. I heard a man
move rapidly out of the room and
all was still. I was badly iright-

San Francisco, Sept. 1.—Sena
tor Stewart of Nevada has re

recent silver speech he eaitJ
'•Sherman misrepresents the niin
era if tie is correctly reported.
It is no i true that they ever asked
for or received more than the mar-
ket valne"for their bullion under
the Bland act. which was in lore*
from 1 ST'J to 1890. The govt r;i
ment bought silver at its uetrkei
price, coined it. issued certificate*
tijereon at its coin value,and mailt
no profit.
"According to the statement ol
the director of the mint, of 70,-
000,000 ounces under the ar-t ol
1S90, which repealed the Bland
act, the government receives
4.000,000 ounces of silver bullion
per month, and issues therefor
legal tender treasury nots for its
market value. No money raised
by taxation is used in the purchase
of silver, but legal teuder treasu
ry noWs are issued by the govern-
ment in exchange for bullion for
its market value in gold—uo'hiug
more, nothing less. The position
of Sherman iu limiting coinage
aud making a silver dollar worth
as much as a gold dollar by the
promise of redemption in gold is
absurd. Under such an arrange-
ment silver is mere credit money
and no better than paper. Why
go to the expense of mining silver
when paper will answer the same
purpose? Before silver was de-
monetized both gold and silver
were money of ultimate redemp-
tion. Since silver was demone-
tized there has been no material
increase in the gold coin of the
world."

Sac and Fox Agency, O. T.,
Sept. l.—The reservation occu-
pied by the five tribes under the
jurisdiction of this agency is rap-
idly filling up with "sooners" in
anticipation of the opening to
settlement of these lands. White
sooners of the boomers can be
seen traveling the country in all
directions. Agent Patrick's ef-
forts to head them back and to
drive them out are entirely futile.
The only force at his disposal is
Indian police.
In a letter today to the Indian
department he states that his
present force is expelling intrud-
ers is entirely inadequate. He
farther states that unless the de-
partment furntsbes sufficient mili-
tary force to eject summarily all
classes of intruders before the
opening of the reservation and
settlement, members in hiding
will be sufficient to occupy all a'-
rnost all of the Cherokee lands.

it helped me so much that I got
six bottles more, aud after taking
