EXTRA tn mm IS BARRED OUT The Senator Cansut Hold Two Offices t Once NO LOXGEK MEXICAN MINISTER That Office Has Beea Declared Vaeaat by a Deeisloa of Solialior tieaeral Coa-rad-Ta Cuaatitatkm Al low Mo Pooh-Mub. Washington. Au l.-Hon. Matt W. Ransom, of North Carolina. Is no long er minister from the United State to Mexico. That office was practically declared vacant today by a decision rendered by Holmes Conrad, solicitor genera! of the United States and act ing attorney general. Mr. Ransoms incumbency was declared to be con trary to the federal constitution, and tli acting attorney general sustained the action of Thomas Holcomb. audi tor of the treasury, for the slate de partment. In declining to pass favor ably upon Mr. Ransom's vouchers for salary and expenses. The decision of the acting attorney general was based on question raised by Auditor Ilolcomb as to tlve legality of Mr. Hansom's appomtmeut to the Mexican mission In view of the exist ence of Section 2. ArUole , Of tih con stitution, which declares that "No senator or representative hall. during the time for whloh he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States which shall have been created or the emolu ments whereof ahall .have been In creased during such time." This provision apparently" fitted the case of Mr. 'Ransom, for he was nomi nated by President Cleveland and con firmed by the senate before his term of otttce as senator from iNorth Carolina had expired, and during that term the salary of the Mexican mission had been increased 15,000 a year. It is due lo Mr. Ransom's occupancy of a seat in the senate chamber at that time that he Is today without an of fice, and that he la technically a debtor to the government for the amount of salary he has drawn since assuming his diplomatic) post. Kansom Drew Hls.Solary. So far as can be ascertained Mr. Ransom continued to draw his salary of $17,500 a year, but t was only re cently that Auditor Holcomb, .when he came to pass upon the accounts of the minister, found himself unaible to de cide whether he could approve the pay ment of Mr. Ransom's salary. In view of the fact that he had been a -member of the senate when It was Increased. The matter was accordingly submitted to the attorney general for an opinion. Mr. l!ar.?om was 111 - -st of the time he was In Mexico and ne was advised by his physician to return to the Unit ed States for treatment and recupera tion. Following this counsel he came to North Carolina in iMay and has been at a heulth resort In that state and at his home In Weldon most of the time since. Ht Is now at WeHon. While In Waxhirgton last week the minister paid several visits to the state depart ment with reference to the question raised by Auditor Holcomb. Just be fore returning to North Carolina he said his health had Improved suffi ciently to permit him to go back to the City of Mexico in about a month. The constitutional provision through which 'Mr. Ransom has been deprived of office does not bar him from being reappointed to the Mexican mission. He could have been appointed without violation of the law or constitution at any time after the hour of noon on March 4 last, when his senatorial term expired. It Is believed that President Cleveland will, upon being officially no tified of th condition of affairs, reap point Mr. Ransom to the office, which nearly every senator united in asking the president to do last winter. 6.

The Golden Gate sailed from San Francisco on July 21 with a party of young men who had (greed to share ex penses and profits on the Alaska min ing expedition. Three of the party of twelve or more returned with the schooner, but they are full of buoyant hopes, and after the ore brought down In the hold of the vessel is assayed, will return, to the Islands with more ma chinery. - . . , .. ; ,.'

Captain Schmltt berger, of the Tremont police station, not I tied Acting Chief of Police Conlln this afternoon that he had received some Information which may throw some light on the mysterious disap pearance of Alias Lucretta Clark, the young teacher, who has been missing several days from Plalntleld, N. J., where she was to open a fashionable schools for girls. The captain Informed Mr. Conlln that a gentleman living on Wendover avenue, Tremont, has re ceived a letter from Miss Clark, which was written since she left Plalnfleld.

INDI'STRIES 1)01X9 WELL In Spite of Certain Drawback Dun - Company Have Hopes That Good Times ' Have Come to stav. New York. Aug. 16. R. G. Dun & Co., In' their weekly review of trade, will say: It Is a belated season; a frozen May set everything back. The heavy busi ness which ought to have been done In May and June was pushed Into July, so that the midsummer decline due in July come In August. With this In mind, one Is not surprised to And the shrinkage from July to August rather more conspicuous than usual. Finan cial events are used In speculative mar kets to create apprehension. Exports of gold have continued this week, and while the -syndicate has deposited enough In the treasury to keep the re serve intact, the Impression grows that another sale of bonds may be made. Exports are falling below last year's, In two weeks of August, $3,300,000, or 20 per cent, while Imports show a small increase of 5V4 per cent. Government receipts for half of August are 17,181 33C less than expenses. The disappoint ing crop reports of last Saturday, though evidently distrusted, lessen con fidence In regard to the future of trade, even while some speculators gain by them. Back of all doubts Is the fact that the Industries are doing better than anybody could have expected. The output of pig Iron Aug. 1 was 180,525 tons weekly, or 176,505 by another re port. In either case close to the largest output In 1893, though surpassed 15,000 tons in the spring of 1892. August earnings of railroads thus far show 6 per cent, behind last year's, with the loss on nearly all classes. In July the full returns were 10 per cent, and In June 15.2 per cent, below those of 1S92. The stock market has been quite Inactive, with a trifling de cline both in railroads and trust stocks as a whole, largely Influenced from day to day by financial rumors. Failures for the week have been 196 in the United States against 229 Inst year, and 38 In Canada against 45 last year. s NO PREMIUM PAID. The Sensational Gold Bar Story Without Foundation. Nw York, Aug. 1,6. Speaking of the sensational reports that the bond syn dicate Is paying a small premium for gold 'bars. an authority states: "The facts, which have been known to practically every banker In the street, are that ever since the syndicate was formed, its managers have en deavored to secure for the treasury the bulk of the output of the gold mines of thta country, but they have In no case paid a direct premium for bars. They have, as Is customary In the bullion business, paid the expenses of trans ferring gold from the smelters to' the government assay offices; in some cases divided that expense with the sellers of .the bullion and In others paid the usual brokerage to bullion dealers for secur ing gold bars. It Is believed that In this way the syndicate acquired over 13,000,000 worth of gold bars at no greater cost than the usual difference In value between bul lion and coin. The greater part of thus accumulations have been repre sented by assay office checks drawn In payment (for the bars. These are now being turned Into the sub-treasury, and as they are payaible in gold coin and the syndicate accepts legal tenders In place of coin, the treasury's-goM balance Is increased by the amount of the checks. PAID THEM WITH SILVER. Secretary Morton Presents Ills Employes with an Ohjeet Lesson. Washington, Aug. 16. Yesterday was pay day for employes of the sev eral executive departments, and Secre tary Morton took advantage of the op portunity to present, what he called an "object lesson" to the free sliver en thusiasts who drew salaries for ser vices In the agricultural department. Instead of nice crisp bills these em ployes division ohlefs, clerks, messen gers and laborers were paid entirely In silver. A trifle more than $1,000, weighing sixty pounds, was parcelled out In correct amount, enclosed In ennvas bags and delivered to the proper Individuals. "Secretary Morton did not otherwise seek to press his sound money views upon the employes, whom he paid in their favorite coin, but it is said he smiled with grave satisfaction when he saw the crestfallen faces of the em ployes, who lugged away bundles of coin weighing several pounds. This Is the second time Secretary Morton has presented tMs "object lesson to em ployes of the department, and it Is pos sible he will oontlnue the practice with the hope of converting the free silver advocates. Some of them do not take kindly to this form of Instruction, and say so. SARAH EDWARDS DEAD. An I'nfortnnate Woman Sold to Havj Be longed to a Good Seranton Famlly. Philadelphia, Aug. 16.

New Revelations Connooted with Rook Ialnnd Mystery of Sunday. Rock Island, III., Aug. 15. The sus picions which have aroused the entire upper end of the county that a fright ful double tragedy was involved in the discovery of the unknown colored wo man's dead body near Cordova Sunday were confirmed late last night by the unearthing of the remains of the child with which she had been eeen last Fri day night. The body was found after the must diligent searoh burled in the sand three miles above the town. The baby's head was crushed aa If struck with some blunt Instrument, while an arm and a leg were broken. ,The discovery of this shocking evi dence of a bloody deed had the effect of Intensifying the excitement of the peo ple. The last seen of the three to gether the colored man, woman and child was Friday evening. Saturday morning the man was seen at the Mil waukee depot In Cordova. Sunday morning the woman's body was found in the river, and Monday It was buried. Yesterday came the first evidence that the woman had been seen Friday even ing with the man above Cordova. With her was a child apparently 18 months old. The fact that the child was unac counted for led to the Investigation and the discovery last night. The proba bilities are that the body of the woman will now be disinterred and examined for evidence of violence, as this was neglected at the time the remains were buried. The coroner is on the ground making a thorough investigation and has ascertained that before leaving for Chicago the missing man had five $20 gold pieces, which gives some ground for the belief that he may have mur dered the woman for the money.

Mr. Sibley Denies That the Silver Move ment Is Dying Out-Free Silver Advo cates Are in the Majority. "Washington, Aug. 16. Hon. J. C. Sib ley, ex-representative of Pennsylvania, and candidate of the Bimetallic league for president of the United States upon a platform demanding the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, was In Washington today, en route home from North Carolina.

"Far from dying out, if there 1s anybhing the mat ter with It, it Is growing too fafft; It Is growing faster than we can organize. The people do not need education on the subject; they have been educated to make the country overwihelmlnirly for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. but what is needed Is organization. I am satisfied that If we could get a vote directly on that question, without ref erence to anything else, we could carry both New York and Pennsylvania for free sliver by a large majority."
