THE FOREIGN MARKET.
Quotations by the cable show steady and quiet
market for United States bonds and report activity
and more frmness in consols. Fries come an
eighth lower, at 42% equivalent to 52T in our cur

MONEY STRINGENT.
The money market was active throughout the day.
Towards the close the inquiry developed an un
io0ked-fOr stringency quite exasperatng to borrow
era who had delayed making up their accounts.
The first dealings were at I q 7 coin, the govern
ment houses getting their money quite readily to
the CLOSE at the latter these figures To the stock
brokers the lowest rate was 7per cent coin, the
terms advancing to as high as 1892 before three
O'Clock with the quotation closing 1882 lie. 1t
should be noted that 332 is equivalent to over SO
per cent There was no new feature In commercial
paper.
Foreign exchange was steady on the basis OF 100

l10H l1O4 for sight bills.
GOLD sTEADY-l12H A 1922.
Gold was steady at the range OF quotations prev.

small amount OF business. The speculative interest

A SCANDAL UPON THE NATION That ia an
extraordinary statement which Mr.. Jules
Eavre Ea makes before a committee OF the
French National Assembly, charging the
United States Minister at Paris with main
tanning relations with the Germans, during
oions ch" ,a'o war: OF character to justify suspi
Paris. To give point to this serious fmputa-
ZION AGAINST our republic. Favre relates an
incident ot the war which justified the belief
.nat .I1a Inc oeslegers had been notified by an
intended attack by the French at Malmaison.
When this attack was made, the enemy was
.hy ,niiy prepared therefor. 1t was proved that
day before. Favre caused his arrest. but MI.
WaShburne interfered and demanded his re-
lease. He was released, but Favra and the
french authorities were not satisfied Of his
Innocence, and he repeats, deliberately and
guardedly, his belief that the American Fm-
bassy maintained constant espionage on
the French Government, and apprised the
Germans of al! their plans and preparations.
Ihese are serious accusations from a high
ana responsible source. 1t is due to our ma
ton and people that they should be investi-
sated, and, II fo9nd to be false, that they
t sn1ala DC branded as SUCH. It will look bad
In history that such scandal should be left
une1piained. Our descendants ought not to
ne condemned to the shame Of reading such
Sross lmPntations upon their ancestors. If
OF It's representatives, let him be held M to
the consuro and condemnation Of mankind.
Ihus 1t Was that our fathers acted when.
;m, more tnan 101 years ago, the character OF our
1llustrlous Washington was aseailed in tho
French National Assembly with the distinct
onarge OF violating his faith and parole in the
anair OF the capitulation to the French com
mander in the war with Canada. No sooner
vas tho calumDy communicated to this conn
Try than the Legislature Of Virginia appoint-
ed committee to investigate and report un,,n
the charge. That report was clear and fnIl
vlndlcatlon OF the fame OF our great chieftair,
Inc whole story had originated from the mu-
tual lgnorancoo OF the two commanders of each
others Languages. And even the utterers of
the calumny frankly recognized the satisfac-
Tory answer and refutation which went from
virginia, and ever afterwards became even
the French version Of the affair Let there be
an equally prompt and satisfactory response
and people, and il. upon a full and thoroueh
examination, there should prove to be any
foundation for the scandal. let it's shame and
burden rest upon the individuals implicated,
and not upon the nation.

FATAL LEAP FROM AN EXPRESS TRAIN.
On Saturday evening, as the train from
Phliadelphia was passing Railway, Carl
Schurtz. cabinet maker of that city.
jumped of and was killed. The train
does not stop in Railway, and had passed
the depot. When it reached the freight
house, Schurtz made the fatal lesp, his
head striking the projecting end of a tie.
The blow fractured his skull. He was
employed by Daniel Ryno, and had been
working in Elizabeth. He was non con-
versant with English, and in attempting
to return to his home on Saturday night
took the Washington express from Eliza
beth, by mistake. The train did not
stop ut Railway, and he was carried to
New Brunswick. In attempting to re-
turn to Railway it is supposed he again
made q mistake in taking a express train.
curious effect was produced in the
Penasquitos Valley, Cal. by the recent
earthquake. The springs were opened
to such an extent as to increase the flow
of water moro than four.fold. A reser :
voir. which it took three and-a half to
four days to fill, was filed in twenty
four hours. The earthquake of fifteen
years ago partially closed the same
springs.
