A regular hnsincss meeting of the cabinet was held yesterday. The absentees were Secretaries Blaine and Proctor aad Attorney-General -Miller. The principal topic of discussion was the continued coinage of silver after July 1, and the secretary of the treasury pre sented considerable data on the sub Ject After the meeting. Secretary Foster made the folio wing statement in regard to the silver question: "After a full and careful consideration of the law relating to the coinage of silver Secre tary Foster finds that the act of March 3, 1891, requires thst the secretary of the treasury shall, as soon as practica ble, cola the trade dollar bars into sil ver dollars. He also finds that 5150,099 has been appropriated for the rccoln age of the subsidiary coinage into such denominations as shall best serve to give it circulation. There is con stant demand for small coins, principal ly dimes, which the mints hare not been able to supply. The secretary of the treasury has decided that his first duty ia this matter is to obey the di rection of congress. Congress has or dered the coinage of the trade dollar bars Into standard silver dollars. The coinage of the trade dollar bars in this manner will transform what coit $5, 087,795 into 55, 148,25s 1, standard dollars. The secretary finds that it will require perhaps four mouths to perform the work of coining trade dollar bars into standard dollars and recounting sub sidiary silver. Therefore the question of the continued coinage of silver dol lars as heretofore is not a practical one at present" The trade dollar bullion will prob ably be coined in an amount equal to monthly coinage by the treasury dur ing the present fiscal year, which has been at the ratu of about 2.000,000 ounces per mouth. The bullion Ls stored at the mints at New Orleans and Philadelphia and resulted from smelt ing trade dollars which were redeemed under the act of March 3, 1SS7. The total number redeemed was 7,&9,03d, of which a portion have been coined into subsidiary coins but the act of March 3, 1891, provided that the balance on hand should only be coined into standard silver dol lars and that as soon as practicable. Owing to mandatory coinage of 2,000, 000 ounces, or 2,583.000 silver dollars per month, as required by act of July 14, 1899, until July 1, it has been im practicable to coin any of this trade dollar bullion. It will take between three and four months to complete the work of recoinage at New Orleans, and also about two months at Philadelphia in connection with the large amount of subsidiary silver and the continued coinage of minor coins. The cabinet also decided to change the form of the assets and liability statements issued from the treasurer's oflice daily and at the beginning of each month. In tin; new form, the net sur plus will disappear, and only an availa ble cash balance will be carried. Other changes of a minor character will bo made, but what they will be has not yet been decided by Secretary Foster. In a general way the new form of state ment both of. the debt and assets lia bilities, will closely resemble the state ments put out when Senator Sherman was secretary of the treasury. Thcso changes go into effect July 1, beginning tho next fiscal year. SWIFT DESTRUCTION. Fatal Work of a Tornado In Pennsylvania SI Mrn Marled to Thrlr Ife-ath. Mount Cakmel, Pa., June 27.

The trlsl of the New Haven railroad directors for misdemeanor in heating their cars with stoves instead of steam was continued yesterdav. Judge Van Brunt said that displte the able argument of the district attorney he was of the opinion that no man could be made to suffer vicariously. All the cases cited were cases where principals bad directly authorized their agents to do certain things. The present case was quiet different The directors of the railroad are co-s-rvanLs and agents, with the car builders and others, and the New York & New Ilavim Railroad Co. alone Is re sponsible. The evidence did not con nect the directors closely enough with the heating of cars by stoves. The di rectors were indicted as individuals and not as directors. They could not bVs held Hsble in accord with the doctrine of respondent superior, because they themselves were the servants of the railroad corporation, and the co servants of those who actually heated the cars contrary to law. There was no ground for holding them. "As to the president, there Is some ground of be lief thst he had active participation. I, therefore, ndviv: the jury to acquit all the defendants except President Clark." This was promptly done. The jury la the afternoon acquitted Clark. alrte4 aa a Lawyer. WiLUAKsroKT, Pa., Jane 26.

Two weeks ago whea Bardsley pleaded guilty to the charges against his, the court fixed yesterday a the time to pass sentence upon him and public ex pectation had been wrought up by a promise that when brought into court he would make a full and free confes sion of hla malfeasance.

In Kentucky har vesting Is In full blast The yield Is poor, correspondents generally estimat ing It st from ten to fifteen bushels to tho acre, three counties being put a seven to eight bushels. In Missouri the harvesting Is about completed. The estimates range from fifteen to thirty five bushels; a large yield is undoubt edly assured. "In Kansas harvesting is well under way. The estimates give the yield of about twenty bushels to the sere. Harvesting has not yet commenced In Michigan. Iowa or Nebraska.
