THAT CANCELED NOTE. in His Cash. ury for redemption, the other day, by a city ing suspicious marks and patchings, but a day or 80 ago a messenger of one of the local banks informed some officials of the treasurer’s office that the teller at that bank had discovered in his cash a note that was thought to have been already redeemed, It had the lower corners cut, he said, but there were no holes punched in the center of the note. The note has not been presented for redemption, and conse- quently the Treasury department has nothing to do with the case, nor will it have until the bank sends the note to the treasurer for either investigation or redemption. Of course, the office is anxious to know whether this is a sequel to the $20 note or merely an acci- dent. In case this note shows eon of EDUCATION: FAMILY SUP! FINANCIAL...

Two days before the presentation of the $20 note for redemption a note of like denomination was found in « waste basket by a messenger in cleaning up the room, and he immediately gave it to the clerk in charge of the office. Controller Trenholm, who returned to the city on Monday, said this morning that he was perfectly ignorant of the state of the case, and ‘was awaiting a report of the investigation from his assistant, Mr. Abrahams, MONEY TO LOAN, DAVECWVWVRAMABIWARAVAVSWROMSV NO CHYVYWVEVIDIITCSCAwWIED gurgevygcgyievgqyeaaeyy THAT CABINET STEW.

The New York Herald to-day publishes a dis- patch from Albany, quoting some man who is supposed to know it all, for a story of Mr. Harrison's notRination, the argument of which is that neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Quay will have influence with Mr. Harrison in the matter of making up his cabinet. The conclusion is that Mr. Blaine, Mr. Quay, Mr. Wanamaker, and Mr, Platt are going to be left out of the cabinet, and that Mr. Sherman and Mr. Whar- ton Barker are to be all-powerful with the new administration, The story told of the nomination is that Wharton Barker first brought about an agree- ment between the Harrison and the Blaine men that the Blaine strength was to go to the Indiana candidate, but that the Harrison folks discovered a purpose on the part of Elkins, Platt and company to bring about the nomina- tion of Blaine. ereupon Wharton Barker saw John Sherman in Washington the day be- fore the nomination and reachedan ‘cement with him,the terms of which are thus described: “if Harrison on the first ballot on Monday should suffer a decided loss and Sherman should gain, the Harrison phalanx should marc! M over to the camp of the Ohio statesman. If, on the other hand, the gain should be Harrison’s, and the defection from Sherman, the latter was to throw his entire strength to the Indiana candidate. In flo case was the nomination of Blaine, or of a dark hi to be ited. Senator Allison called Jater in the and entered heartily into the settled the nomi- nation. The lieutenants of the three candi- dates were instructed by telegraph what to do, and the plan worked like a charm next day.” It is farther thies of Mr. Harrison are with Sherman and antagonistic to Blaine. WHAT REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON SAYS. A Srar reporter called the attention of Rep- resentative Thompson, of Ohio, 0 was one of the close friends of Sherman at Chicago, to this article, “The man who quoted these.” he said, “talks as if he had a little something from people who knew of the situation in Chicago and he had got wrong in his conclusions. He evidently knows nothing himself. I know exactly what Mr. Sherman’s plans and expectations were w to the last. He wanted the nomination himself, and never entered intoany agreement with Mr. Harrison or any one else, such as described. I may tell what I know of the matter, but it is too early to do so now.

GOssIP IN ARMY CIRCLES OVER THE UNUSUAL CASE, FELT XO DOUBT OF HIS NOMINATION. Up to the third ballot we thought Sherman safe. Then the California Blaine men thought they saw Harrison’s nomination before them and hastened to get undercover. That rush of the Blaine men made Harrison's nomination certain. Mr. Sherman never tried to assist any man but himself to the nomination, but I can say that he was not sorry that it was Harrison and not another who got the nomination. ———+or—___—_ ,, The Appropriation Bill.

The master and crew were FORCED TO SUFFER MANY INDIGNITIES at the hands of the governor oftthe islands and officials under his authority, The authorities offered to settle the matter if the captain of the vessel could satisfactorily explain the whereabouts of the missing packages. After the fine had been paid it was ascertained that the missing goods were delivered by mistake on beard the ship Josephus, which lay next to the Josefa in New York, but were placed on the Josefa’s manifest. Explanation’ was made to the Spanish authorities, and the return of the fine was requested, but refused, and the vessel left Porto Rico to load cargo elsewhere for this city.
