MINISTER scHENcK-HIs DEFENDERS.
The telegraph and Standard editorials on john
sons defence OF Minister Schenck have had great
influence ON the English mind, and sympathy Is felt
for the latter in the loss OF riend in need.n His
initiative has doubtless given the American resi-
dents in London courage, in answer to the recent
Congressional resolution to frame the following docu-
ment, which is now being signed under the auspices
OF J. S. Morgan, the BANKER
THE RESOLUTION.
ave, the undersigned Americans, residents In
London, having noticed concerted assault upon
the Hon. X. c. Schenck Minister OF the United
States at the British Court, desire to express
our continued confidence in his private in
tegrity and public usefulness and also to assert
that nothing that has been alleged against him in
connection with the Emma Mine has sh AIKEN our re-
gard for him as a gentleman and statesman, being
satisfied that his evidence on oath, under severe
cross-examinaton before judicial commission, has
fully indicated his character against all accu-
satons, evidence which satisfied lawyer so astute
as the Hon. Reverdy Johnson"
AN UNsERvRD WRIT.
Regarding the Emma Mine and Schenck, have q
copy OF a writ before me, issued January 10, claim
ing damages for fraudulent misrepresentation, con-
cealment and conspiracy to defraud the petitoning
company. This suit was actually issued from the
Writ once OF the Queens Bench Division, sum-
moning Schenck TO enter an appearance within eight
days from the time Of service l found no entry OF
service or appearance.
WHAT BECAME OF IT.
The fact Is the writ is now in Macdougals desk and
may possibly never be delivered, Macdougal being
evidently doubtful about the prudence OF such
course fearing an action for defamation OF character,
which have reason to believe Mr. Schenck has been
advised to take.
REASONS WHY.
In any case Macdougal probably thought more OF
advertising his paper, the Hour, than OF protecting
the shareholders when he issued the writ.
A VICTIM OF ENGLISH STOCK JoBBING MANAGEMENT.
The Anglo american Times to-day has an able edi-
torial on the subject, claiming that Mr.. Schenck is
the victim OF the English joint stock management,
and that the new directors, under Macdougal,
have sought as a victim the man who was the chief
victim of the conspiracy, If conspiracy there were

entirely unbiased and honorable in motive.
THE PREssMAN AND THE DrPLoMATIsr.
have devoted much space to this subject, believ-
ing that Macdougals real motive was to advertise
his paper which he could not do better than by aim
ing writs at high personages.
scHENCK AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
may add that Mr.. schenck yesterday distributed
prizes at the annual meeting of the Twentieth regi
ment OF Middlesex Volunteers, at which he made
some pleasant remarks on the subject Of interna-
tiona courtesies, and hoped that the English volun-
teers would be represented at Philadelphia.
THE DRAMA.
The only dramatic event Of the past week Is Tom
Taylors "Anne Boleyn," which is dainty picture
ofcourt life and manners, with picturesque Tudor
scenery and dresses rather than drama entitled TO
fixed place in the English repertoire.
OPERA.
In English operate matters the papers confirm
last weeks announcement OF Rosas intention to
produce wagner's "Flying Dutchman."
THE DYNAMITE PLOT ON THE STAGE.
The Thomassen play at the Josephstadt Theatre,
Vienna, seems successful financially. The authors
do not stick close TO history. momassen lives in
pensive style In Vienna His mistress demands
$4,000 He orders clock sends his wife and child,
his Mistress the maker OF the Internal clock and his
wife, clockmaker's Journeyman and the clock
makers son, who is captain OF the ship on board.
There is terrible explosion and the curtain falls
amid stormy applause. The nghthearted vienese
audience was visibly affected.
THE MONEY MARKET.
| The tendency OF money during the past week has
been upward First class paper is in large re-
quest. A better feeling exists in the market.
AMERICAN SECURITIES.
These are fairly sustained, and the demand for
them ia undated. 1t Is a noteworthy fact that
English newspapers are extolling them and recon-
mending capitalists as wen as small investors TO
buy. The purposes OF what may be called the
'shard money! party Of America have added not q
little to English confidence, and the former have
question that American bonds win In time be the
