on the piazZas of the hotels and on the

the anti-Nanderbilt party here, and curI-
Ously enough there is a strong one, it is
insinuated that Mr.. Vanderbilt did not
care To see Alr. Case after saying so many
unkIud and unjust things about him.
This insInuatiOn is always coupled with
an expression of profound belief in Jay

THE CLEARING HOUSE.


a
NEW YORK, Aug 3.-The Tribune says
.sBali6e here are showing some anxiety
over the fact that the amount of Outstand-
ING gold certificates is constantly increas-
ing. The increase IN July, according to
the Treasury statement, was $2O,0OO,OOO.
Bankers say when the issue of gold GER
titicates gets to that point where it cannot
be increased silver certificates or silver
coin must surely come to the front as a
means of setting clearinghouse balances.
The present gold reserve is about $l1S,-
OO0. 600. and, under the law, only about
$4,000, 900 more in gold certificates can
be issued unless the store Of gold coin in
the Treasury should increase. The
demand for gold certificates is con-
stantly swelling and banks in every sec
tiOn OF the country are continually sending
for fresh supplies. Coin, as medium OF
settling accounts, has almost passed out
of use in this city. If the supply of gold
should run short certificates would, ii is
feared. in time command a premiulH and
thereby compel the sub-Treasury IN this
city TO pay silver coin and silver certliI-

BRUSSELS, Aug. 7.-Owing to fears
that further demonstration would be
made to-day against the Deputies, troops
were stationed near the Chamber to pre-
serve order. The communal administra-
tion at once protested against the employ
ment of troops for this purpose, and as it

short time they were withdrawn, Access to
the street leading to- the Chamber
is now blocked by police.
Notice was taken of this matter in the
Chamber Of Deputies. NJ Jacobs, Minis
ter of the Interior, stated that in cOnse-
quence of the recent agitation the military
had been requested to guard the peace in
the vicinity OF the Chamber, but that in
asmuch as the communal administration
promised to prevent disorder the military
had been Withdrawn.
A motion censuring the Cabinet for call
ing out the military was proposed in the
Chamber of Deputies. but it was defeated
by a vote of 81 to 81. Troops are confined
to their barracks so as TO ae ready for an
emergency, and the civic guard has been
called out.
Firemen played with their hose upon a
shouting mob which gathered outside the
chamber. Several arrests were made.
Gendarmes escorted the members from

A STRANGE EPIDEMIC.
Millions of Perch and other Fish Dyin
in Lake Mendoza

Millions of Perch and other Fish Dying
in Lake Mendoza.
MADISON, WIS, Aug. 5.-rNew York
Times special. The mortality of perch
and other fish in Lake Mendoza continues.
and scientific men from various parts of
the country have been called to Investi-
gate the matter. Thus far 200 tons of dead
fish have been hauled away from the
shores of the lake by the city authorities.
The smell in hot weather is simply horri-
BILE. The worst mortality prevails when
the lake is very still or gently stirred by
south wind. On a rough estimate
3,0O0,000 fish have died in the lake. and
their bodies have drifted to the shore,
Perch are the only fish diving whose
death cannot be accounted for. White
fish are going to certain extent, but
they die every year on account of
being driven from the cold water near the
mouth of the springs, which supply the
lake where they congregate, into the
warm water which prevails everywhere
else. A few pickerel also are seen dead,
but not enough to cause the idea of an
epidemic. 1t is the perch which gets the
best of fishermen now by their death
The dead perch range in size from one
half pound to two pounds. They have
strewn the shore for nearly four weeks.
Cart loads are taken away and buried,
but still the shore is covered with their
carcases. Every gale, every breeze that
blows streWs them over the waves.
Theories are numerous regarding this
disease. One attributes 1t to az insect
that gets into their windpipe and chokes,
another notices black spot near the gili
and attributes to it's presence the cause
of which death is the effect. The State
Commissioners are greatly mystified and
perplexed over the matter. Experts from
the Smithsonian and other institutes are
investigating the strange epidemic.
