The gold is to be delivered in London or at the sub-treasury in New York at the pleasure of the Government. . Bonds are to i?sue only to cover gold deliv­ ered. This contract will bind the Cleveland administration should it de- slre gold and the emergency continue. It was deemed best, a few days ago, to anticipate the worst condi­ tion of affairs in order to protect the $100,000,000 of reserve gold and make the listing of gold an impossi­ bility. Under these arrangements the Government has access to $25,000,000 of gold at any time, the option on it, as it were, and yet it will not be compelled to take it unless the free gold in the treasury is exhausted. The ifaterest which the Government will have to pay on these bonds is as low--3 per cent.-- as it can be made ,for an exchange of gold. The contract binds the Cleveland administration to issue the bonds as stated, and take the gold from Drexel, Morgan A Co. when our free gold is ex­ hausted.* : • • • ' • Control the Price of Flow. ,, -THE Spring Wheat Millers' Associa­ tion Is now in operation. It has at present a membership of several hundred millers, representing a -dally output of flour reaching into the hundreds of thousands of barrels. The States cov­ ered are Minnesota, . North Dakota, fywa, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and the spring-wheat mills of New Xork State at Buffalo, Roches­ ter and Niagara Falls. The con­ ception of A combine dates frorn the organization of the Southern Min­ nesota Millers' A.ssociation three or four years ago. The principal object of that Association was to fix the mini­ mum price at which Hour should be Sold. The headquarters of the Association is Itai the Corn Exchange Building, Minne­ apolis. Should the spring wheat deal- ere' combine prove a success there is little doubt that the winter wheat deal- {rs, who constitute an equally powerful raaeh of milling, woul<t organise in like manner.'

In Illinois, Indiana, and Ken­ tucky, there has been so much freezing and thawing, alternating with ice and snow, that many of the correspondents confess themselves at this time unable to tell the exact condition of the plant. In Ohio more than half of the correspondents report the condition as good, »nd most of the remainder report fair. A very few report the condition as bad or doubt­ ful. In some of the counties that re­ port the condition as good, the plant had made but small growth when it went in­ to winter quarters, but as it has been covered with a good blanket of snow all winter it is at present in good condition for an early spring start. Altogether the outlook in this State is better than most, of the wheat States in the West. In Michigan the ground is covered with snow to such a depth that little can , be told concerning the condition of wheat. It is known that on many of the level fields, and especially on the low lands, ice has formed under the snow and that damage is almost certain to result. Be­ sides this the condition last fall was not good in certain counties on account of the late sowing and the ravages of the Hessian fly. In Missouri a few of the correspondents report wheat in good condition, more report fair, and most report the condition as bad' or doubtful. In Kansab and Ne­ braska the general outlook seems to be good, but there is so much uncertainty about it that it will require a few days of warm weather to reveal its true con- litlon. In Iowa the fields are still cov­ ered with snow to such a depth that it is believed the crop is yet safe, but the danger will come when the snow melts. The same is true of the wheat in Wis­ consin and Minnesota. MARKET REPORTS, CHICAGO. CATTLE--Common to Prime .... Hous--Shipping Grades HHEEP-- Fair to Choice WHEAT--NO. 2 SPRING . .. COBN-Xo.I...

He was appoint District Judge by tirant in 1839, in which capacity he served with ability for twelve years. Under President Ar­ thur he acted first, as Postmaster Gen eral and later as Secretary of the Treas­ ury, graduating thence to the Circuit bench, which he leaves now to take the premiership in Cleveland's Cabinet. The Treasury Portfolio. John G. Carlisle, who will act as Secretary of the Treasury, has filled the public eye -for many years, and before the President-elect a p p e a r e d o n t h e stage o f national p o l i t i c s C a r l i s l e championed in Con­ gress the anti-pro- tec t ion principles Nj with which Cleve- v land's name is now so distinctly asso­ ciated. Strong in debate, with "the courage of his con­ victions and power J. N CARLISLE, of leadership, he will be an undoubted element of strength in the coming Cabinet. He was born in Kentucky 58 years ago, and after a brief experience as a peda­ gogue at ( ovington, Ky., he engaged in the practice ot law. Ho served several terms in the Legislature of his native State, and from 1871 to 1875 ho was Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. In 1876 he acted as Presidential elector, and was elected to Congress the same year. The SECRETARY of War. The graduation of Col. Daniel S. La- mont from the position of Private Secre­ tary to President Cleveland to the War portfolio is with­ out a parallel in the Washington records. He was born In Cortland- ville, N. Y., in 1852, and tnterp the Cabinet at an e x c e p t i o n a l l y early age. Educa­ ted at Union Col­ lege, he was earlyi initiated into the mysteries of New York politics by S. I-ASIOMT. Samuel J. Tilden. When but 20 years of age he was a delegate at the conven­ tion at which Tweed was defeated by Tilden. He held an interest in tho Albany Argus and was connected with that paper when Governor Cleveland appointed him his Private Secretary. Tlie Pontiniuiter General. The appointment or Wilson Shannon Bissell is essentially a personal one, and one for which the great friendship ex­ isting between the appointee and the President-elect Is responsible. Mr. Bissell has no po­ litical record what­ ever, and his repu­ tation, which is a high one and more / than local, is based Wvs. entirely on his prominence as a WIT-SOS S. BissEi.T, corporation lawyer and on his general business ability. He was born in Oneida County, New York, in 1847, being taken when six years old to Buffalo, of which city he has been a resident ever since. In 1872 he entered into a partnership with Lyman K. Bass, and a few months later Grover Cleve­ land entered the firm, leaving when elected Governor of the State.

The youngest man in thq Cabinet will be Hoke Smith of Georgia, who, like Mr. Bissell, is a very large ma?:, ^©Ighing nearly 880 pounds. ' A young lawyer in Atlanta six years ago, he leaped to the front by his energetic and suc­ cessful champion­ ing of tariff re­ form principles In G e o r g i a n H e bought the Atlan­ ta Journal for a •mall sum and waged relentless war on 'the oppo- »O*B SMITH. dents of Cleveland^ tariff views in Georgia. He finally worked the defeat of the anti- Cleveland forces in his State. He is a very successful lawyer, railroad eases being his specialty. The Attorney General. Bichard Olney, who has been chosen for Attorney General, graduated from Brown University in 1856 and Harvard law school two years later. Twice he has been offered a Massachusetts jus­ ticeship, bvt declined, having the last -offar froiii X3ov«mor BusselL Mr. Olney was born in Oxford, Mass., in ltSfi.

He was elected a member of the Forty-ftfth and each succeeding Congress up to the present time. He was twice a member of tho committee on naval affairs of the House and in the preseqfc Congress is chairman of that committee. The Portfolio of Agriculture. J. Sterling Morton was born at Adams, Jefferson County, N. Y., in 18^2, going when a boy to Michigan, where he at­ tended school at Ann Arbor, later attending classes at Union College, New York. From New York he went to Nebraska, where he acted as editor of the Nebraska City News. After being twice elected to the Territorial * A MOBTON. Legislature, he made an unsuccessful run for the Governorship. Three times thereafter he was a candidate for the same position, each time without suc­ cess.

Ottuma (Iowa) special: There is now little doubt that Ottumwa was the scene, Tuesday night, of an atrocious crime, it being the murder ot a woman and her babe by the unnatural husband and father, who sought to conceal the crime by burning the house and cre­ mating the bodies. The alleged mur­ derer is a German, 39 years of age, named Adolph Niese. Pending the ver­ dict of the coroner's jury he was ar­ rested. Niese's house was discovered on fire, and burned to the ground with all its contents. Niese and three children, aged 9, 7, and 5, got safely out, but his wife and 9-months- old baby were burned to death. Much sympathy was felt for the afflicted hus­ band until ugly rumors gol afloat, which were confirmed by evidence taken by the coroner. It was alleged that Niese had been untrue to his wife, that he had quarreled with her, that her life was insured for $5,000 in his favor, that «he household goods were fully insured, aud that Niese bad killed his wife and child and then set fire to * the house. The testimony of Niese's own children before the coroner's, jury and others is exceedingly damaging. Nie?e took the three children out of the house to the home of Mrs. Pease, a neighbor. The oldest little girl tola Mrs. Pease that her father had told her that morning that if the house burned and her mam­ ma was burned up they would have money to build a new house, they would have nice clothes, and would have a new mamma. The sister of the dead woman, who is implicated in the dreadtul affair, is unmarried and came from Germany three months ago. She has been arrested and is now in the city jail. Her name is Hattle Volz. The post-mortem of the charred remains of Mrs. Niese shows that the skull had been crushed, and there was a large clot of blood on one side of the head. It is not known whether the in­ fant was killed before being cremated or not. The woman's life was insured for $5,000 in the Covenant Mutual Ben­ efit Association of Illinois. One of the most suspicious circumstances is that Niese was fully dressed, even to over­ shoes, before arousing his neighbors, and that among the first effects rescued from the burning buildisg were his in­ surance policies. v STbLE OVER A MILLION. Another Lot of. Forged Paper to the Amount at 8200,000 at Lincoln, Neb. The Omaha Bee's special from Lin­ coln, Neb., says that another lot of forged paper, aggregating $200,000, has been brought to light in the Capitol National Bank case. One batch of notes novTin the hands of attorneys for collection for Eastern banks, amounting to $173,000, signed by an ex-employe of Mosher named Hurlbut and indorsed by Mosher as president of the Capitol Na- t'onal Bank, were floated by Mosher and the money sequestered by him. Mosher admits that he got the cash, but refuses to say where any of it went. The bank was opened Thursday for the purpose of admitting creditors to file their claims and wind up its business. It is now stated by conservative men who are intimate with the affairs of the institu­ tion that the bank's liabilities will ex­ ceed $1,200,000, with assets practically nothing. Mosher admits that his efforts to raise money to settle his shortage have failed, It is not expected that the bank will pay to exceed 10 cents on the dollar. Lincoln's business men, who have had faith in the statements that a full settlement would be made, are greatly malted. In the Senate a retwlu- tlon ordering immediate steps to be taken to protect the St(.ta was passed. BERING 8EA COMMISSION. Artttnton Meat at Parte and AdJoorn to March *S.

A door leading to the ice-machines opens to the left. Here may be seen the. full workings of an ice-plant with a capacity of 105 tons a day. On the op­ posite side of the building. are the storage-rooms. Provision will be made for the Btorage of 3,000 tons of ice.

The man was deatly dressed, and carried a sachel containing ar­ ticles to sell swum? over his shoulder. He carried a stick in order to enable him to feel his way up or down a step. The dog, a piump, well-fed, brown animal, had on a sort of har­ ness, to which a stout cord was at­ tached from his back. He was, ap­ parently, In a hurry to do business, for he tugged at the cord, vigorously as he went along. Every few steps he would look around at his master in the most Intelligent way, as if to discover whether he was coming along safely. As soon as he got to a door he stopped and looked up at his master. If tlie door was one on which was posted the sign, "The other door," the man would try the knob, and as soon as the dog saw that his master Gould not go in he would immediately move on to the next door. When a door was opened the dog appeared to Understand exactly bow to transact business. He would pilot his master straight to the office, in the back or front part of the house, stop, and look up. When anybody bought any­ thing and "Good-day" was said, the animal would lead the way out again, often looking around at his compan­ ion, and, when the street was reached, he would be sure to start exactly where he left off and try the next door. If the animal was not fond ot that man, the looks and ac­ tions of a dog go for nothing.--Balti­ more American. na oou irouoa amnaa . I* 1848 1,631 journals were iacnad in the United States. quired.

He was a very shabby person in­ deed. His clothes were of that much- worn character that precludes any attempt at description. He had cot­ ton in his ears, and he wore a most disreputable hat, yet there he was in one of our large city dry goods stores, as much out of place as a stoker in a drawing-room. No one paid any attention to him, every one having come to the conclu­ sion evidently that he was a work­ man or some porter looking for a job; anything, in fact, but a purchaser. At last, after he had flgeted about for some time, he started off toward the cloak department and presently came back with an obsequious floor­ walker, who called out: "Show this gentleman your finest sealskin wraps." Every one looked in astonishment at the seedy figure, and one young woman had the grace to remark: "Excuse me, sir, I thought you were looking for a cloth garment." "No, miss, seal skin ain't good enough for my little gal, and I guess if there was anything more expensive her pap 'ud buy it for her."
