Army officers who are inclined to blame the irregular conduct of the artillery captain, the story of whose resignation has been already told in Tue Stak, are, nevertheless, of the gen- eral opinion that an extenuating element may be found in considering the colonel’s attitude in the case. The fact that before the rupture of the social relations between their families these two officers were commonly known as about the most intimate friends in the army is well known and considerably commented re 5 While the captain is not absolutely upheld by those who have watched the case, he has, at the same time, their sympathy. At the present outlook there is no apparent way out of the difficulty except by the accept- ance of the captain’s resignation regardless of his charges of bad faith on the part of the col- onel. It will then be a legal question whether or not the President, if he wants to,can re- store the officer to his former rank by a nomi- nation. Once back in the army the merits of his case could Lee! be tried by a board, as suggestedPby Gen. Scholield. ‘A good many believe that if the captain is forced to leave the arm; n suit in court to be restored. His case will hang en- tirely upon the question of the three months’ notice, which, he alleges, the colonel promised to give him before transmitting the tion to the arog es can.

Ever since the presentation of an already canceled $20 national bank note at the Treas- ury for redemption, the other day, by a city bank, the local bank tellers have been some- what more careful in accepting old notes bear- 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 signs of having been once canceled it will be good evidence that there may be more of that character still in circulation. The investigation in progress in the office of the controller of the currency has as yet devel- oped nothing on which to base a theory as to e cause of the fraud, but there is a growin, impression among those engaged in the investi- gation that the $20 note accidentally slipped rom the package during the count by the bank’s agent, and was found by an employe without particularly honest principles. Two days before the presentation of the $20 note for redemption a note of like denomination was found in a 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, ae 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. —-—___. THAT CABINET STEW. What Representative Thompson Says of a Story of the Chicago Convention. 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 nomination, 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. Thereupon Wharton Barker saw John Sherman in Washington the day be- fore the nomination and reached an agreement 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 march bodily over to the carp 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 no case was the nomination of Blaine, or of a dark horse, to be permitted. Senator Allison called later in the oo aud entered heartily into the agreement. This agreement 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 ee out that all the sympa- thies of Mr. Harrison are with Sherman end antagonistic to Blaine. WHAT REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON SAYS. A Star reporter called the attention of Rep- resentative Thompson, of Ohio, who 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 andhe had} ‘ot wrong in his conclusions.» He evidently Enows nothing himself. Iknow exactly what Mr. Sherman's plans and expectations were 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. I have only to say that on Monday morning Mr. Sherman and his friends FELT XO DOUBT OF HIS NOMINATION. Upto the third ballot we thought Sherman safe. Then the California Blaine men thought mee saw Harrison's nomination before them and hastened to get under cover. 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 Harzison and not another who got the nomination. eoxaores, oo The Appropriation Bill.

Cuarzstoy, W. Va., Dec. 27.—The conces- sion by the democrats of the election of Hon. Nathan Goff to the governorship is virtually admitted by the announcement here to-day that Judge Fleming has completed his notice of contest and will serve it ina few days. The republicans have been expecting this, and while not totally unprepared have done little toward collecting material for reply. The con- test will be made before the legislature, which is democratic by one majority. Every republi- can member has been urged to let nothing pre- vent his being on hand at the organization of the legislature, as the absence of one or more democrats would throw the control of the or- ganization, settlement of the gubernatorial contest, and the election of United States Sen- ator into republican hands.

Ex-Senator Davis, who for awhile loomed up asa possible and dangerous opponent to Kenna, has lost his Prestige in consequence of the importance his name has received in the alleged movement on the part of Gen.

Cutcaco, Dec. 27.—The gale which prevailed in this vicinity yesterday afternoon and up to midnight was very severe, although it did very little damage. It reached a velocity of 46 miles an hour at 10 p.m., and remained at that point until midnight, when it gradually sub- sided. The wind was accompanied by an occa- | sional flurry of light snow. Quite a brisk snow storm is in progress this morning. ispatches from Iowa, northern Ilinois and Wisconsin indicate the prevalence of a snow storm. At Waverly, Iowa, at midnight a foot of snow had fallen, and the fierce gale piled it into huge drifts. Railroads in that vicinity were badly blocked. but trains were still run- ning. Mason City, Iowa, reports that from Emmets- burg tothe Dakota line there is an average fall of 1 inch; between Emmetsburg and Chick- asaw. about 6 inches, and east of Chickasaw to issippi, about 2 inches, Twelve inches of snow fell at Marshalltown, and the wind is drifting it badly.

The company, upon hiring slaves, must make an arrangement with the owners. The wages of the slaves must be paid to the owners. English nfission stations are obliged under the agreement to RETURN RUNAWAY SLAVES to their owners, After the agreement had been signed the agents of the company, Mr. Mackenzie and Gen. Matthews, accompanied by Manbaga Arabs, went to the Pabai church mission station and demanded the surrender of certain runaways who had taken refuge at the station. The missionaries refused to give them up. The company’s agents, therefore, in order to avoid a collision paid €25 for each slave they were unable to return to the owners.

The British traders have made a united rotest against the order. They say that slave bor is the only kind of labor obtainable in Zanzibar, and that if this is cut off all work must be stopped. In view of this protest the consul will suspend the enforcement of the Serena pending instructions from Lord ury. THE EAST AFRICA COMPANY DENIES.
