There is in the State treasury 800,000 deposited as profit from the dispensary since April, although the State board declared no profit According to a joint resolution adopted by the general assembly on February 21st last, ihis money is to be distributed among the public schools of the State. As the public schools are in need of funds, and aB no steps have been taken to disburse this money, the Richland county board of education, consisting of Mr. Ellison Capers, Jr., superintendent of education for Richland county, and Messrs. Clarence E. Johnson and E. Barton Wallace, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus from the supreme court against Mr. J. P, Derham, comptroller general, to show cause why these funds have not been distributed. On July 1st Mr. Derham distributed 870,000 among those counties whose receipts from poll tax, three mill tax and supplementary school fund did not reach the amount of 83 per capita. The amount in the State treasury derived from the dispensary at the time the resolution -was adopted was g70,uuu, and was afterward increased to $70,499,55, and it was this amount which was distributed. There were 24 counties which derived benelit from this fund. Since the distribution of the amount above specified, the board of control has declured SOO.OOO protiis from the dispoosarj', aud it is claimod that in compliance with the resolution this amount should be distributed amon^ the counties of the State irrespective of whether or not they had received part of the 370,499.55.

The remainder of the session was given up to the Nicaragua Canal bill. Senator Caffrey was the only speaker on this subject, and he opposed the Morgan bill.

There were numerous changes, the most important being as follows: "The section defining citizenship was amended by striking out the word 'white' ?nd ab o.the explicit reference to Portuguese and left to read as follows: 'That all persons who were citizens of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, are hereby 'declared to be [citizens of the United States.' " The following restrictions on the issuance of bonds is inserted: "Nor shall any bond or other instrument of any indebtedness be issued unless made redeemable in not more than five years and payable in not more than fifteen years from the date of issue thereof." Section 103. in regard to the crown lands was changed so as to eliminate the clause confirming all valid leases now in existence. There are many technical changes and in all cases where Hawaii is referred to as "tho government of Hawaii," it is changed so as to make it the Territory of Hawaii. Unparalleled Trade Year. R. G.

Enormous transactions at the 6tock exchange make some difference and heavy railroad earnings, but when all the transportation speculative interests are eliminated there is still a much larger business than in any other month of the year. Last year the exports were in volume greater than in any previous month in the history of the country, but this year the three weeks' report shows an increase of 2o per cent, against 9 per cent. importR, which wou Id indicate much more than $70,300,000 excess of exports this month. Until now no greater volume of business has even been done in the history of this country than in the closing month this year. Cubans Ready to Accept Anythi nij. London.
