England's Contribution.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sep. 19.-It
may or may not be true, but there is
a clearly defined rumor in current
circulation here that British gold In
large quantities has been received in
this country toad the cause of CleYP-
land and free trade. In an effort to
run it down to-day your correspond
ent met half dozen who had heard
it and believed it on general princi-
pies, but nobody was able to state
anything definite in regard to it. 1t
is we'll known that the sympathies
ard the financial interests of the En-
glish manufacturers lie in this direc-
ton, and there would be nothing in
consistent with admitted facts in ac-
capting the truth of the rumOr. 1t
can readily he understood that such
IA thing would he done, if at all, with
the utmost secrecy. If it were estab-
Iished and generally known, the
money could not repair the damage
that would be done by the know
ledge that such assistance had been
offered and accepted. The rumor is
given for what it is worth.

THE CLEVELAND SCANDAL.
DR.. Ball, One Of the Authors of the
Charges, Vtaeated by the Buffa-
La Minister'S
10 Minister'S.

The ministers of Buffalo, N, Y,
held secret meeting Monday even
ing, and yesterday furnished the fol-
lowing for publication
"At the session of the Buffalo min
isters' meeting, held September 10,
1884, the following paper was adop-
ted:
cit having come to the knowledge
of the Buffalo ministers meeting that
one of Its members, Rev. George II.
Ball, ID. D., has been attacked as to
his ministerial character in a most
unjust and cruel manner in the public
press, this meeting, at its first session
after the summer vacation, desires to
put en- record, and publish to the
country, lis testimony of the Chris
tian character and ministerial stand
ing of the gentleman thus assailed.
"Dr. Ball has for years been the
hOnOred pastor of the Free Baptist
Church, and has during that period
by his piety, his learning, his fidelity
to trust, his sagacity in public affairs,
aiio w VIC uu-
ties of his Office, and his zeal in every
good work-wOn the confidence and
esteem not only of his congregation
and denomination, but of the whole
Christian community.
This association believes that DIR.
Ball's life and character are beyond
reproach that his aims are unselfish
and pure, and that in the course of
conduct which has evoked. such bit
ter criticism he has sincerely and
earnestly sought to promote the causa
of morality and righteousness, and to
discharge the responsibility resting
upon him as citizen and as minis
ter of the Lord Jesus Christ.
