.; i. EAD OUR
SENATOR LODGE TALKS.
He Thinks an At—t-emlpt to Tack a Compro-
mise Measure on the Sherman Law
Repeal Bill. Will sa‘vo It.
BOSTON, Aug. 4.—Scnator Henry, Cabot
LOdge will leave for Washington on Sat-
urday to attend the special session of con-
gross. Speaking of the probability of a
repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man law, he said: “I think congress will
repeal the purchasing Clause, although
it maygnot be do‘ne‘rquite so promptly as is
hoped here. It“'an attempt is made to
unite with the repeal any other measure
in'th'e nature of aco‘mpromise of an affirm-
ative character,,it will lead to intermina~
ble debate, and repeal will be likely to be
defeated. . . .
“I do not in the least underrate the no
oessity of some affirmative measures in re-
gard to the currency. Something ought
to be done looking-to the sale of the silver
bullion in the treasury under proper limi-
tations for gold. Some amendment ought
also to be made to the national bank act.
But these measures can wait and can be ‘
much better handled after the repeal is
disposed of. The practical effect of the re-
peal of the purchasing clauses will be to
remove the distrust which now‘” exists
abroad, and the fear which they there have
that we are going on , to a silver basis.
When this fear is removed, money will flow
from London, where the rate of interest is
very low, to New York, where the rate of
interest is very high. and money rates will
at once begin to grow easier in this country. .
“As soon as that comes about the vast
sums of money which are now boarded all
over the United States will come forth
from‘ their hiding places, and this will
cause a still further decline in the rate of
money and brings. great relief to business.
This is the practical effect, as it seems to
me, of repeal.”
THE BEHRING SEA CASE.
The ‘Decision \Vill Be Announced Before
the‘Week Ends—Senator Morgan and
Justice Harlan to Sail Saturday.
- WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—-Indlc:itinns that
the Behring sea arbitration connni<sion
will conclude its deliberations and agree
on its decisions before the end of this week,
if it has not already done so, are given in
the official information received at the
state department that Senator Morgan and
Justice Harlan, the arbitrators on the part
of the United States, will sail from South-
ampton for New York on next Saturday,
the 5th inst.
It is stated at the state department that
Messrs. Morgan and Harlan could not
leave Paris until the arbitrators had agreed
on their verdict, and it is presumed that
the commission set a date for voting on
the five points at issue, thus enabling the
gentlemen mentioned to make definite ar-
rangements for sailing. They will sail on
the American line steamer Paris. Mr.
Thomas H. Sherman, late consul at Liver-
pOol, will accompany them.

BERLIN, Aug. 4.-—-A disastrous explosion
occurred on board the German armor clad
steamer Baden at- Kiel. Lieutenants 0e1-
sner and Zembach .‘and 7 seamen were
killed, and 17 persons were wounded. It
appears that some of the n’ien had just re-

uring 26centimeters indinmeter. Through
some cause not yet explained the grenade
exploded, killing or wounding nearly every
person in the imn ediate vicinity. The
Baden is a vessel of 5,600 tons. She was
launched in 1880. She mounts eight large
guns, and her armor is 10 inches thick at
the water line.

BEA'r‘EN BY BRUTAL BURGLARS.
An Aged Couple Horribiy Abused by Three
Masked Men.
SOMERSET, Pa., Aug. 4.—Three masked
' men entered the residence of Abraham
Beam, a retired farmer, 97 years of age,
and finding Mr. and Mrs. Beam alone de-
manded their money. Mrs. Beam handed
them a pocketbook containing less than a
dollar. The. robbers turned furiously upon
the old couple and beat them in a horrible
manner. A piece of firewood was forced
down Mr. Beam’s throat in an effort to ex-
tort from him the hiding place of his sup-
posed wealth.
The old gentleman lost consciousness,
and the robbers, thinking they had killed
him, knocked Mrs. Beam senseless with a.
club and fled. Mrs. Beam finally recov-
ered and rang the dinner bell to arouse the
neighbors, several- of whom responded.
. Dr. Covode says it is doubtful whether Mr.
Beam can recover. N0 trace of the rob-
bers can be found. Mrs. Beam is unable
to give a description of the men.
Tons of New Crop Tea.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-—The British steam.
ship Glenogle, with a'cargo of the new crop
of tea, has arrived here from Yokohama
and Amoy. Captain Duke, her command-
er, is jubilant over the fact that he is the
first arrival. It is glory for the steamship
and much money fer the captain and the
tea importers. The Glenogle left Amoy
June 22, and every effort was made to get
to this port ahead of rivals.
The steamship has a cargo of 6,000 tons
of the new tea. That cargo was worth just
81,500,000 when she left Amoy. It is worth
much more here, and the 12,000,000 pounds
will make a decided impression on the
market. The steamship Ping ‘Suez left
Amoy the same day with a cargo of tea,
but has not got in yet. The Glenogle, be-
ing the first, will get better prices.

More Gold Coming From Europe—A Chl-

but Others Are More Hopeful.
LONDON, Aug. 4.—A meeting was held
at the Mansion House, the official resi-
dence of the lord mayor of London, ; for
and business situation. The meetingwas
presided over by Lord Mayor Sir Stuart
Knill. Among those present were the
Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the Right Hon.
Henry Chaplin, formerly president of the
board of agriculture; the Right Hon. Sir
John Lubbock, of the firm of . Roberts,
Lubbock ’& Co., bankers; the Hon. Thomas
F. Bayard, American embassador to Great
Britain; Dana Horton, and most of the
leading bankers of London. .
Mr. Balfour made an address. He dis-
claimed political motives and alluded to
the anxiety felt throughout the business
world, which anxiety was connected with
the currency changes in India and the
action that might be taken by the United
States government. A gold standard, Mr.
Balfour declared, would never satisfy com‘
mercial wants, while a double standard
alone would prevent dangerous oscillations
in trade. '
International Agreement Recommended.
He condemned isolated action on the
part of individual states and recommend-
ed an international agreement fixing the
ratio of value between gold and silver.
In the course of his address Mr. Balfour
denied that the advocates of bimetallism
aimed at an inflation of the currency. This
might be true, he said, of. some of the bi-
metallists connected with the western
states of America, but it did not apply to
the bimetallists of Europe, who believe
that the adoption of bimetallisrn would
prove the safest commercial policy. In the
event of a European war a. double standard
would, according to Mr. Balfour, befound
very advantageous.
The meeting adopted a vote of thanks to
Mr. Balfour for his able address.

THE LAST CERTIFICATES.
No More Will Be Issued at Washington
For Some Time—China and Mexico
Considerably Stirred Up About
the Outlook For Silver.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—No more silver
certificates will be issued by the treasury
department for the present, as the limit
prescribed by law has been reached. That
is to say. as many silver certificates are
now outstanding as there are standard sil-
ver dollars coined and in the treasury to
redeem th‘em. The standard silver dollar
was issued under the act of- ’1878, common-
ly known as the Bland act. Under this
law 389,936,374 standard silver dollars have
been coined. Of this coinage there are:
Standard silver dollars in the treasury,
333,164,583; silver certificates in circula-
tion, 330,282,480; silver certificates in the
treasury, cash, $2,909,024; net standard sil«
ver dollars in the treasury after deducting
silver certificates in circulation, 2,882,103;
standard silver dollars in circulation, 56,-
771, 791, and standard silver dollars paid
out by Philadelphia mint today, 500.
The reduction in the number of standard
silver dollars in the treasury has been
brought about by the large demand re
cently for silver dollars from the south to
move the crops in Georgia and the Caro-
linas and to pay off hands at work on the
cotton crop.
T reasurer Morgan's Circular.
United States Treasurer Morgan’s circu.
lar on the subject reads: “The issue of silver
certificates being limited to the amount of
standard silver dollars held by the tress
ury for their redemption or exchange for
the present standard silver dollars can be
furnished only for silver certificates do
positedl’or exchange or in return for those
received for redemption. Halves, quarters
and dimes can be furnished in the place of
standard silver dollars in sums of $200 or
more, free of charge for expressage or by
registered mail in sums or multiples of
$50, registration free, for drafts collectable
at \Vashington or any of the subtreasury
cities—namely, New York, Boston, Phila‘
delphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago,
St. Louis, New Orleans or San Francisco
or for a deposit of currency by any col-re
spondent in said cities.
“The coin will be forwarded from the
nearest subtreasury office, and drafts in
payment therefor should be drawn to the
order of the ‘assistant treasurer, United
States’ (naming place) and forwarded
directly to the office named therein.”
For International Bimetallism.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—Rep'resentative
McCreary of Kentucky, who is a member
of the international monetary conference,
Speaking of the probability of that confer-
ence rosesembling in Brussels in November
next, said: ‘fI have been in correspondence
with many of the representative men of
the international monetary conference and
am encouraged by the reports that I hear.
I cannot say that I believe in the ultimate
failure of the conference. The action of
India was not a surprise to me, because it
had been predicted.
. “Although they'are no longer _to have
free and unlimited mintage of silver in In-
dia nothing has been done to preventthe
government from coining silver. The pa.
sltion there is similar to that in this coun-
try from 1878 to 1890. Many of the leading
men in Europe who are members of the
conference think it very important to
keep the body alive, so that we may after
awhile reach the international bimetal-
lism. I believe international bimetallism
on a common ratio among the great na-
tions of the world to be the best solution
of the whole trouble.”
Governor Lewelling’s Silver Views.
TOPEKA, Aug. 4.——The following from
Governor Lewelling has been made public:
. “The Sherman law, as at present con-
strued, is a. vicious measure in the interest
of a gold standard. Contrary to the wish
and expectation of the American people,
the law has been violated by redeeming
silver certificates immediately by their re-
issue in gold instead of silver. This gives
us no more money, bpt drains the trees.
ury of gold to store silver bullion.
"The demand for the unconditional re-
peal of the law is for the purpose of forcing
this country to an absolute gold basis in
the interests of money speculators to the
destruction and bankruptcy of our me
chanical and agricultural classes and busi-
ness interests. '
“It should be repealed only upon the
condition of restoring silver to its stand-
ing prior to 1873, both as to free coinage .
and legal tender quality to any amount.
If not repealed, it should be amended,
making certificates full legal tender and
redeemable in silver only. Any other course
will continue the present and bring further
disaster.”
, China Excited About Silver.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4,—The Pacific
mail steamer Rio de J aneiro brings from
Hang—Kong neWSpapers filled with edito-
rials and local articles on the depreciation
of silver, which has brought all business
to a standstill. Much excitement was
caused by a cable message saying that
Mexico was to suspend silver coinage.
In this event China would establish a
national coinage, as she has a mint at Can-
ton fully equipped for issuing dollars. In
Japan the result has been equally discs
trous. The government has lost over
$3,500,000 on orders on warships alone.
Japan produces about $2,500,000 worth of
silver yearly and only about $500,000 of
gold,so that the loss to miners will be large.
The Blmetalllsts Adjourn.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-—The silver convention
has adjourned. At the closing session ex-
Congressman [Rice Pierce of Tennessee
made an attack on President Cleveland,
saying he misrepresented the Democratic
party’s position on the silver question, as
that party was and had always been a free
silver party. The resolutions adopted de«
mended the return to the free coinage laws
in force before 1873 and protested against
the repeal of the Sherman law of 1890 un«
less: free coinage law was substituted

DOWN TO BEDROCK.
World's Fair Officials Are Pruning Ex-
penses, and Even Some Of'tIlO Colum-
bian Guards Must Step Out.
WORLD’S FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Aug.
4.-——Pruning down expenses continues to
be the active occupation of the VVorld’s
fair management. Each day the number
of employees is becoming smaller, and it
is believed that by the last of the week the
great White City will be working on a
bedrock basis financially. It has been de-
cided to reduce the secret service force, the.
number of gatemen and ticket sellers, thl
Columbian guard and to materially lessen
the number of passes, and it is believed
that before the close of the week the com-
mittee on ceremonies will have been abol-
ished.
There is talk that the foreign affairs de-
partment may also be done away ,with
and that the duties now performed by that
department will be placed in the control
of the director generaL In this way the
management hopes to Save. from a half
million to three-quarters of a million dol-
lars during the next three months. - It is
said on the authority of Lyman J. Gage, a
member of the finance committee, that the
payment of bonds will begin very soon——
probably within 10 days—and that of itself
shows tutti} the finances are down to an
economical basis. Expenses, he said, are
about 815,1;00 per day, which is as close as
could be expected in a plant of such mag-
nitude. Of course the attendance will de-
termine the final outcome of the fair finan-
cially, but with conservative management
the bonds ought to be. paid out with a pos-
sible surplus besides.
Alla opinion is unanimous among law-
yers that the gates of the World’s fair will
be opened every day in the week from now
on until they are finally closed next 0c-
tober. The appelate court will not be in
session until after the midsummer vaca-
tion, which ends in September, and the ap
peal prayed for yesterday cannot there<
fore be passed on until October. Besides
the appeal is from an order in contempt
proceedings, and the decision in the case
will have no effect on the injunction order,
which must now be observed until the ap-
pelate court can be reached.
’ Five carrier pigeons were released on the
government plaza. They were sent here
by parties residing at Buffalo. After cir-
cling about the big VVorl'd’s fair buildings
a few minutes the birds took an easterly
course and soon disappeared. This is the"
first of a series of experiments to be made
by the war department. It is intended to
demonstrate the use to which pigeons may
be put in time of war.

Secretary Carlisle’s Visit to the President
at Gray Gables. ,
BUZZARD’S BAY, Aug. 4.—Secretary Car;
lisle arrived here at 7:30 a. 111. He] left the
train at the little Gray Gables station lo-

treasury was driven at once ' to the presi-
dent’s cottage.
President Cleveland appeared on the
veranda, and after welcoming Secretary
Carlisle conducted him into the house,
where breakfast was served.
While no financiers accompanied Secre-
tary Carlisle it is certain that he brings
the opinions of the financiers he met in
New York, and that he will present their
views to the president.
Secretary Lamont is also expected at
Gray Gables, and possibly Attorney Gen-
eral Olney may call. The entire party will
