Mr.. Field-"fhat is nObody'5 busi-
ness"

somebody's business how iL came
there"
Mr.. Field-"That will all be shown in
good time"
Mr. kenner said that he had reflected
upon Lne change Of the figures on the
return to "l78,' but is not able to ac-
count for it. lie was positive, however,
that the change was not made i'll his
presence and that he never voted for 1t.

mony taken by Mr.. Morrison's Commit
tee, and referred to that portion bear
ing upon the minutes Of the proceedings
OF The Returning Board in relation 70
the Parish OF Vernon, at which time the

what he read from the return OF that
statement in the printed testimony was
correct, and answered ati'matlve.y
The witness then said that the return
which ne held in his hand now showed

that point which would warrant an i'm

He said that he had observed for some
months a tendency of the financial
status of the country toward specie
payments, and he had watched 1t
closely, with view, at the timely
moment, of suggesting measures which
would lead to this much-desued result.
He said that last year In our CONNER

had shown a balance of trade, amount

NEWS FROM 1E METROPOLIS
Pacific Coast Spectators in WALL
Street.

Pacific Coast Sp"culatOrS in Wall
Street.
National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-There is copsid-
cradle excitement among the Wall street
bulls and bears over the Infusion of a
large amount OF new capital into the
great stock speculating quarter, and
there is considerable discussion over it's
probable effect. A large amount of
money has recently been transferred
from San Francisco to New York by
several gentlemen well-knOwn in con-
nection with the Bonanzl Mines and
railroad developments OF the Pacific
Coast.
Tie transfer has been partly on account
OF the establishment of the Mining
Board in New York, partly for specula-
tive purposes.
One of the most prominent of the new
spectators from the Pacific coast,
james q. Keene, noted for gigantic spec
ulation, is immensely rich, and proposes
making New York his residence perma-
nently. he was cOnsignee of the several
million dollars of gold coin, transferred
about week ago from San Francisco to
New York, mention of which was made
In the papers.
He was very prominent speculator
in San Francisco, ana has already been
in some big operations in Wall street
since his arrival here. Senator Jones,
of Nevada, and EX-Goyerner Stanford,
of California, are also here engaged in
speculation, but their stay will be only
temporary. These Pacific Coast opera
tors are not, as might be supposed,
speculating together. They operate in
dependentIy, and there is the Ilveliest
kind of rivalry among them. James
keene is supposed TO be worth ABOUT
$40 0OO,000. 1t is estimated that at least
$2O, ,0O0,OO0 OF fresh capital has been
brought into Wall street during The last
three months by Calitornlans Tor actIv e
employment.
