WxsHiSGtON, Nov. 10. In support of the suggestion that Hon William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, may - possibly be one of the the President's official family after March 4th next, the statement is made upon ex cellent . authority that; Chairman Wilson was the only candidate in the present cam paign,' in whom the President took sum cient interest 10 mauce mm to send a A A A - A L . V' . goodly sized check to j aid j him in his con test. It is ; also recalled that Mr. .Wilson was President Cleveland's personal choice for permanent chairman of the Chicago convention: that he was the President's per. sonal preference for chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, and that he was generally accepted, as being the best posted exponent of the President's views on the floor of the House. ; f ' Ninety-eight Republicans in the present Congress have been re-elected. Fifty-two of them are now serving their hrst terms. Twelve arejserving their second terms. This leaves only twenty-four -Republicans who will have served three terms and over when they enter upon the work of the next Con Although it seems entirely too early to be speculating on chairmanships in the next Congress,! which, unless convened in extra session to meei some emergency, as. tor m tance, failure to f pass the appropriation bills, will not assemble until one vear from December next, speculation on this subject is actively in progress, j ' Of the Republicans who were on the Ways and Means commit tee when Mr Reed was Speaker, only three- Messrs, isurrows, lnngiey and Payne of New York will In addition to of Pennsylvania, be in the House these (Messrs.

". ; Conrad N. Jordan, Aissistant United states Treasurer atNsw Yck. arrived here this- morning i quite unexpectedly and was in close conlerence with Secretary Carlisle at theTreasury pepartment! for some time. Hjs returned tq New Y6rk on the nooia train. Assistant Secretary Cuytis is authority for thje statement that Mr. Jordan's visit had no connection I with any contemplated bond issue. ' Those close to Secretary CarMsle state that the Secretary fcimself will not speak on the matter and intimate that people in New YorK "seem to enow more about a con- tenOiPlated bond issue, judging from the papers, than we do in the Treasury Depart ment At Washington.". From thedast bond issue 'the jTreasury only received f 38,000, 000 of gcAd net, and from a bond&ssue now. whileit would; increase the Treasurer's gen eral balance, no one at all acquainted with the ntreasury nuances belie ves that f25,uuu, 000 in net gold, would be received for. $50,- 000,000 m bonds, premium induced. - Thetreasuryt rgeneral balance stands at S105k089,000,-of which $62,000,000 is - in gold $8,00Q,O0Q above the lowest point reached last summer, and treasury officials again say they see no reasons now that did not exist more-empnaucaiiy lastsummercor sirengw enine the eold reserve. The available bal ance outside of the gold reserve is to-day $43,000,000, when at the time of the last bond issue it wes less than $10,000,000. An increase, rather than a diminution of rev enue is looked jf or. So far' this month the receipts have aggregated $6,000.f00 and the expenditures $3&,000,000,of whidh $5,000,000 have been paic(on account of pensions. The custom ceceints for th e ten days of this month Eeachj-$3,737,000, an tincrease of $200,000 for the month but a loss for the .fiscal year to dirte of $2,000,000 as compared with the samejperiod of last year.. Internal revenue receipts for November have aggre gated $2,5QO,000, a loss for this ntonth so far, as compased wrth the ten'' days of Novem ber, 1893, i of $1,000,000, but an excess for thisAscaljearite date as compatad with the correspon3iBg;period in the fiscal year of 1893 of: $15,0094)00. This condition of the (treasury is pointed to as showing evidence .of improvemeriteephich began t70 months .a. as: indicating no immediate necessity ! if or a bond issue, - i Intimations ae thrown out in an unoffi- ial way that the President and sSecretary Carlisle are not -entirely in accord as to a bond issue at this time, and it is stated that if a bond issue jia authorized in the present oanditiou t of tfie treasury and thejgold re serve, it will nqt be done on Secretary Car lisle's recommendation. ! - The receipts of the treasury for the month to date are $6.0$4,178; for the fiscal year to date. $123,751,593; ; expenditures toe the month tb date. $11,227,000; for the iiscal yeartodate, $12.55823.

Improvement tOver the October Re port Pine Weather for Picking 'Top Crop Matured Rapid i Gathering and Marketing -I ' Average Per Acre. j, Washington,! Not. 10. The cotton re turns of the Department of Agriculture for the month of November show an improve ment of the prospects as compared with the returns of last month. This is due to better weather, and is especially noticeable in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The favorable weather, besides improving the crops, has greatly facilitated picking. In Alabama the crop has been nearly all secured and much of it sold. : In Mississippi many counties report picking as closed, and considerable , improvement in the crop over the indications of Octoher. The average estimate for the State of Louis iana is reported as raised because or the favorable weather for picking during Octo- vizi. uv tiuu iu xexas mamuuns tne men average formerly indicated. The weather has been quite favorable for picking and nearly three-fourths of the crop has been gathered, A greater despatch has been noted in harvesting the crop than in any former year, and it has also been marketed in large quantities. Injuries to the crop in some parts of the State from excessive, moisture. causing rust and rotting of bolls, have been more than counterbalanced by the favor able conditions that existed in other parts for maturing the top crop and for picking. No great damage from frost ja reported. In Arkansas the weather has also been favor able for gathering. The increased product of that State, as compared with last year, is due to the fact that much land that was overflowed in 1893 was planted in cotton this year. ; :i Indications of the average yield per acre for the entire cotton belt is 191.7 pounds, distributed by States as follows: '.North Carolina. 210;-South Carolina, 168; Georgia, 155; Florida, 110; Alabama, 160; Mississippi, 195; Louisiana, 230; Texas, 235; Arkansas, 203, Tennessee, 157.

The recent elec tion will have an important bearing upon the Congressional apportionment of the States that were captured from the Demc-- crats by the Republicans. The result will be an entire reversal of the present order of things, and will enable the Republicans to entrench themselves again in power in sev eral States. At present there are tjweihyi four States that have been apportioned by Democrats, twelve by Republicans and eight, that have never been apportioned The twelve States apportioned under Repub lican direction are Colorado, Iowa, Kansas! .Maine, .Minnesota .New Hampshirelihio, J Orenennsylvaniaijno T montand recently new.

By so doing they gathered in from these eight! States fifty-three members of Congress. The election of Tuesday last gaye the Democrats from the same States but seven members. In addition to securing what they bad previously lost, the Republi cans were also successful in electing Legis latures in Missouri, Indiana and West, va.f which will enable them to make such ap- f ortionmeht in those States as seem best. In ndiana the constitution stipulates that the apportionment shall not be made oftener than once every six yeari. but the Republi cans have already begun to discuss a plan by which they get around this by means of various amendments. . 1 In North Carolina the apportionment will also be under control of the fusionists Re publicans and Populists. This will change the present figures there; so the Democrats will have -charge of the apportionment in thirteen States, the Republicans in twenty two, and fusionists in one. The small States of Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming have never been apportioned. Charged Witb. Being a Fraudulent -- ' ! Concern.
