By his own admissions he lived for years from money borrowed under false pretenses from "Masons in amounts varying from $10 to eeveral hundred, or, as he told ex-Sheriff Van Devanter, "according to their circumstances and times."

The Manufacturers' Record of last week calls attention to the remarkable development of the South's export trade, which is emphasized by a sum mary of the statistics of breadstuffs shipments for the year 1897 as compar ed with 1896. The total shipments of corn, wheat, oats and flour from five leading Southern ports aggregated 167, 938,972 bushels against 128,861,847 bushels in 1896. The total increase was 39,077,125 bushels.

I ho reso lution was read and referred to the committee on foreign relations. The pension appropriation bill was hp bo fore the Senate at the time of adjourn ment 'oth Day. The Senate was charac terized by a heated and almost acrimo nious discussion of the financial ques tion. For nearly four hours the Teller resolution was under consideration, the principal speeches being by Alli son, of Iowa, Berry, of Arkansas,, and Hoar, of Massachusetts. The sharpest colloquy was that indulged in by the advooates and the opponents of the -resolution. Teller bolieves in paying the debts of the goyernment in silver,oven if is the cheapestmetal. Hoar contended that the question was not ouo of legal power, but of honor and good faith. After a long debate the resolution was amended so as to pay the bonds of the United States in the highest money in the world, gold or its equivalent, whether that bo silver' or paper, Butler, of North Carolina offered an amendment to the postoffice appropria tion bill, providing for an extension of the experiment of rural free delivery to every State aud territory in the Union, and to as many sections of thoso States and territories as possible.

In the course ol the debate Daniel, of Virginia, spoke in favor of the resolution, saying that there was no disposition to pay the government's obligations in discredited bullion, but in silver dollars that will buy as much as gold dollars the world over. 28th Day. The Senate decided tc vote on the Teller resolution and the pending resolutions thereto to morrow. After the agreement tc vote had been reached, Mr. Daniel resumed his speech. H made a legal argument in supp'ortof the pending resofution, holding that the law never contemplated giving to the government's creditors the option as to the kind of money he was to be paid. The creditor would naturally pick thai dollar which was the most valuable tc him. but if he did not know which he would receive he would do his utmost to maintain the parity of all dollars Mr Caffery. Democrat, of Louisiana, delivered an extended speech in oppo sition to tho resolution. Mr. Cockrell supported "the resolution.
