GAPRIVI REMAINS
He Refuses to Reply to the Reproaches of
Bismarck’s the Hamburger
Nachrichten-The Man of Blood
and Iron In a Hitler Mood.
Organ,
BERLIN, Nov. 9. —News received here
from Friedrichsruhe and Hamburg says
that a strict surveillance is being main-
tained upon all of Prince Bismarck’s
movements and the persons he receives,
and it is added that even his correspond-
ence is watched. This espionage, presum-
ably, is at the instance of the government
and is being performed by a small corps
of the best detectives from Berlin under
Lieutenant Bodmer of the political police.
Prince Bismarck is still in a bitter
mood, although the presence of his young-
er son, William, at Friedrichsruhe during
the past week has tended to molify him.
Physically Prince Bismarck is better just
now than he has been for months past.
The new revelations of the Hamburger
Nachrichten continue to absorb a great
deal of interest. The replies appearing in
The Reichsanzeiger were the joint efforts
of the chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, and
the minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschall von Bicberstein. The ex—chan-
cellor, General Count von Caprivi, who
remains in solitude on his estate near
Skyrew, has repeatedly been urged by his
friends, to vindicate himself against the
reproaches Of the Hamburger Nachrlchten,
but he has flatly refused to do so and
means to adhere to his reserved attitude.
The Hamburger Nachriehten in another
article today says: “Prince Bismarck’s
adversaries are the newspapers more than
the people. Former Liberals have been
converted by the social, clerical and semi-
oifioial democracy, and the laét named is
the chief fomenter of hatred of Prince Bis-
marck.”
Your correspondent here learns that the
replies of The Reichsanzeiger to the Ham-
burger Nachrichten ware intended more
for the benefit of the courts of Rome and
Vienna than for Prince Bismarck. In
both these quarters the exact wording Of
the terms of the Russo-German agreement
concluded by Prince Bismarck is not
known even now, and there is a very
strong wish there to be fully informed on
the subject. The German government
maintains that it was secretly enjoined
then and that it is binding even today.
Effect of Our Elections.
For many years past no American elec-
tion has excited such universal interest in
Germany as the one just over. During the
week preceding the day of election the pa-
pers of every shade of opinion published
daily articles discussing the issues and the
candidates, the universal tenor being that
so far as German interests were concerned
it was a choice between two evils, the Mo-
Kinley evil being tic smaller one.
Financial circles here especially Were
gleatly interested in the election, and un-
heard of pains were taken to obtain early
and reliable information concerning the
results. Several of the banks and finan-
ciers received frequent oablegrams on
Wednesday, and as the news began to
pour in the same day things became lively
on the Stock Exchange, and" the Berlin
brokers did a good business in American
securities of all kinds. Railroad shares
climbed up three or more points by noon.
In important German commercial cir-
cles, however, the feeling is not so bouy-
ant, owing to fears of a protective tariff.
A. book written by E. von Halls and
dedicated to the government has been
published. It surveys the importance of
the American elections toward Germany
and assumes that a fairly prohibitive tarifi
will be passed by the next congress, and
in view of the fact that Germany in 1895
imported American goods to the value of
511, 000, L00 marks he proposes that early
steps be taken to counteract the injury to
German industry. He advocates denounc- '
ing the most favored nation clause and
passi 11g a tariff paragraph and also to try
in the main to co operate with the rest of
Europe and tale sweeping retaliatory
measures against America. The govern-
ment- has taken notice of the book, and a
score of copies haxe been bought for use
in the dillerent departments of the foreign
office
Norway and the Drelbund.
Under the command of Prince Henry of
Prussia a German squadron composed of
the lx'x'ienig Wilhelm, Sachsen, Wurtem-
bcrz and Gefion will sail within afort-
night for Stockholm and Christiania.
Prince henry will have along interview
with King Oscar. and he has full powers
from Emperor William to discuss the ad-
hesion of Norway and Sweden to the dual-
band.
A series of articles appearing in The
Vossische Zeitung, understood to be writ-
ten by a high foreign office Official, is ex-
citing general attention. The writer sur-
veys the political prospects and resources
of the \'1 est Indies and the status of the
Monroe doctrine regarding them. He dep-
recates the right of the United States to
interfere in the political affiliations of the
West Indies and speaks of the probable
purchase of the Danish West Indies by
Germany in the near future. ,

YERKES’ GOVERNMENT BONDS.
Produced $8,000,000,\Vorth Wh‘en Called
Upon for Collateral.
They tell a story down on Wall
street. connecting Charles T. Yerkes,
the Chicago street car magnate, in a
curiously indirect, yet vital, way
with the explosionof the Moore Broth-
ers’ speculative bubble in Diamond
Match and N. Y. Biscuit. It is to this
effect. When the financial stringency
began to be seriously felt, the Chicago
banks concluded to call in loans from
Mr. Yerkes, who had a large sum.
said to be about $3,000,000, borrowed
from them. They did not doubt his
solvency, but could not help thinking
of tho $7,000,000 cash he had recently
invcs ed in'his “L" road projects, the
$2.01. 410 he had put into a palace on
Fiftl fenue. and the $1,000,000 addi-
tion: 11 telescopes, paintings and
othe1 11"airs. His surface road prop-
erty l declined, and the banks de-
cided »; reduce their risks in that
quart =1. '
Imagine their surprise when Mr.
Yerkes not only objected to reducing
his loan, but asked for $2,000,000
more“
“I have no immediate need for the
mono., and m .1y have no use for it, ”
he said, “but a man should make
himself strong in cash in times like
these.”
YVhen the' bankers inquired what
collateral he had to offer, he produced
$8,000,000 4 per cent government
bonds, worth $9,000,000, and told his
financial friends to put the bundle in
at 50 as security for his new loan,
and further fortification of his Old
loans. Mr. Yerkes is today the larg-
est individual holdcr of government
bonds in the world, it is said.
In the conversations which led up
to the bond demonstration, Mr. Yerkes
casually mentioned that as banks
were drawing in their money, be
guessed he would call on the Moore
Brothers for $6,000,000 he had let
them have on Diamond Match at 120.
This was a transaction the banks did
not know about, nor of the $500,000
which he said he had heard they had
borrowed from Columbus R. Cum-
mings and another $500,000 from Sid-
ney A. Kent.
These disclosures made the banks
close down on the Moorcs sharply.
When Mr. Yerkes’ lines crossed the
lines of the Moores the latter suffered.
Before his departure for Europe Mr.
Yeikes was thinking of eStablishing
a. great trust company in New York,
and making himself the head of it.
The Vanderbilts, Astms, Morgans,
.Vermil'yes, Goulds and all the gilt-
edged millionaires wanted some of it,
but Mr. Yerkes finally decided to drop
the matter until after the election.—

MONKS W110 OWN MILLIONS.
the Richest Religious Order in the W'orld
Has Its Home in Canada.
If boasts of Canadians are well
fOunded, the two wealthiest institu~
tions in America are the Bank of Men
treal‘and the Seminary of St. Sul-
pice. They both stand upon the little
square known as Palace d’Armes,
where Maisonneuve, the founder of
the city, had a hand- tO-hand fight with
the savages and which for nearly two
centuries was the common burial
place of the pioneers. The Bank of
Montreal dates from 1817 and has
ever been the first financial institu-
tion of the country. It has branches
all over the world.
The seminary of St. Sulpice is much
older, and was founded in 16411 by
Jean Jacques Oller. The venerable
structure at present occupied dates
from 1657, and is as quaint an exam-
ple of monastic architecture as can
be found in America north of Peru.
Beside it stands the church of Notre
Dame, which is under the charge of
Sulpician monks, the most elaborate
. and perhaps the largest ecclesiastical
structure in North America. It will
seat 10,000 persons without crowding
and can accommodate 6,000 more. It
has the finest chime of bells in Ameri~
ca, the largest known as Le Gros
Bourbon, weighing 26,000 pounds. I
believe there are only two larger in
use in the world. The exterior of No
tre Dame is plain and severe, but the
interior is excessively ornate.
The wealth of the Sulpician monks
is variably estimated from $20,000,-
000 to $50,000,000, but it is impossible
for anyone outside of the order to ob-
tain any accurate knowledge on that
subject. They employ a man of busi-
ness to look after their financial af-
fairs, and collect their rents, and he
requires the assistance of twelve
clerks and bookkeepers. Thereare
only sixty corporate members of the
order, and that number is never ex—
ceeded. If one of the brothers dies
the vacancy is filled from among the
ordinary brethren by some proceed-
ing known only to themselves. It is
a very close corporation, and the Can.
adians regard it with mysterious awe.
In addition to the seminary for the
education of priests, the Sulpicians
have several other schools, abospital,
and an asylum in Montreal, and they
have colleges in Baltimore and Elli-
cott Mills, Md. They own one of
the‘ biggest banks in Canada, the fin-
est business property in the city of
Moniieal belongs to them, and they
..re ...aid to have very large invest-
ments in the United States, besides
a vast amount of well-paying securi~
ties stacked away in their vaults. They
are certainly the richest religious or
dot in the world.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.—-Wheat, with a hop,
skip and Jump, scored an advance of 2!
cents this morning. The news was all
bullish. The firs t and most important
factor in the situation was the Liverpool
market, which, in the face of our heavy
decline here yesterday, was up one-quar-
ter penny. showing that it had cut loose
from us and was making independent quo-
tations. Reports from there noted a good
cash demand. '

this decision has cleared the way for com-
mon action upon the part of the powers in
Turkey.

The Cobbler Feared Competition.
Clergymen are frequently good story
tellers, but as a rule, a proper dignity
prevents them from wanting to appear
in that light publicly. The following
was narrated: to a. Washington Star
reporter by a. popular divine:
“In the days of my early ministry,”
he said, “I thought it necessary to im. .
press thoughts of salvation by every-
thing I uttered, and I am afraid I
was not altogether discreet.
“My first work was in a Western
mining camp, and I had to remain
over night at a. reugh hotel to wait
for a stage to convey me to my des-
tination. At the table a. savage look-
ing man said grufiiy:
“ ‘What might be your line, young
feller?’
“ ‘Saving souls,’ I said, solemnly.-
“ ‘Ugh,’ was the only response.
“After supper a coarsely dressed
man approached me and said:
“‘Pardner, le’s make some kind 0’
flicker. We’re in ther same line, an"
thar ain’t room fer' both. Thar’s a.
camp furder up the crick whar yo’
could do well.’
“‘I think you are mistaken, my
friend,’ I said. ‘I am a minister of
the gospel.’ ~
“‘Scuse me, person; I thought yo'
was a cobbler.’ "
