The recent purchase Of American
securities on English account will
strengthen our financial position, and les
sen the danger of drain of gold from
this country. There is warning in this
for the ultra-silver men. If it were a
thought, for p moment, that the United
States intended to pay the National debt
in deprecated silver, or If it were expec-
ted that silver would become the basis of
our crrency, the American securities held
in Europe would pour over here for sale,
and the consequent export of gold and
commodities would cause such losses in
business of every kind as have never be-
fore been known Charleston Nesos and

THE TREASURY TOWELS.
The Contract for Their Washington Anec.

The Contract for Their Washington Anec
dote of Blue Jeans Williams.
Washington Special
The contract for washing the towels of the
Treasury Department will scarcely become a
campaign issue, although an attempt is being
made to show that it is a momentous subject.
Secretary Manning said before he awarded the
contract that he supposed he would be sharply
criticised, and in fact held the matter up for
several days to carefully consider it. 1t was a
question Of saving So, 900 year and doing what
the Interior and other large departments have
been doing for several years-having this class
of work done by contract the job being given to
the lowest responsible bidder. Secretary Man
ming decided that the latter course was right,
and approved the bid accordingly.
Blue Jeans Williams, who was elected Gov
ernor of Indiana in 1876 had an economical turn
of mind one day, and invoghed against the cost
of tie towels of the House of Representatives.
In the cloakroom he personally told some
friends that an ordinary I0ller-toWel served his
family Of eight persons an entire week One Of
the Republican members of tho Indiana delega-
ton heard Blue Jeans say this when he was
nominated by the Democrats of Indiana for
Governor Congress was still in session that
year The congressman went straight to Senator
Morton and told the story. He was in high
spirits too for he really believed that if it was
widely circulated through Indiana the statement
would disgust the Democrats with their nominee,
and make Republican success certain Senator
Morton scowled and spoke rather sharply to his
visitor
What other Republican heard him say it
besides YOURSELF" growled Morton.

NEEDS OF IRELAND.
Mr.. Clifford Lloyd Urges the Granting of
Self-Government.

LONDON, Aug. 2l-Mr. Clifford Lloyd, who
was special British magistrate in Ireland during
the troublesome days when Earl Spencer was
crushing out the Invincibles, publishes in to.
days Times an elaborate statement of what he
desgnates 'Irelands needs" Among those he
places first local self government, which he ad-
vocates. He also favors the establishment of
elective county boards, and the transfer of the
power of initiative improvements aud financial
arrangements from government appointees to
the direct representatives of the Irish people,
whom he describes as tie recipients of the ben
efts and the supporters of the burdens of local
legislation" The abolition of the whole sys-
tenn of Irish beaurocracy is strongly com
mended, and Mr.. Lloyd thinks that
Ireland should be incorporated as an int esral
part of the United Kingdom from which the
present vceroyalty excludes it." The control of
the courts of justice, the police ana general
taxation Mr. Lloyd argues, should be kept in
the hands of Parliament. He condemns home
ule in the sense demanded by the Parnelites,
and claims that its establishment in Ireland
would result in civil war between Ulster and the
remainder of the country.
The Times, commenting on the whole budget
says that Lord Randolph Churchill's new regime
which involves the county board scheme advo
Gated by Mr.. Lloyd, would certainly bring about
a conflict between the boards and the Dublin
Castle government, in the event of the contin-
uance OF the latter. This being the in
ovitable outcome Of the plan, the enc
mics of the Castle government will,
the paper says. urge the opportuneness of sweep
ing away the whole Dublin Castle establishment,
the supporters Of which must, therefore, quickly
prepare some defense of its existence. What
the defense can consist of the Times does not
undertake to suggest; but it declares that the
friends of Dublin Castle can hardly defend it
from the charge of being despotlsm. Besides"
against the Castle implies that its despotism is
OF kind which, when an exceptional occasion
arises for its exercise, necessarily proves incapa
bic, ard this charge of incapacity is the gravest
of all the charges against which the defenders of
Castle rule in Ireland have to defend themselves"

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Leaders in Conference Concerning the
Wabash Strike-NO Trouble Reported.

WASHINGTON, Aug PIT. Y. Powdery,
grand master workman of the Knights of La
Dor, arrived here today, and this evening had a
conference with a number of leading Knights of
Labor here, in reference to the Wabash strike.
Nothing definite was determined on. and a
further conference will be held tomorrow, at
which the committee of the order from St
Louis will be present, and it is thought plan of
action will be decided upon.
A St Louis dispatch says: ''No developments
in the Knights of Labor trouble in the way of
demonstration have occurred to-day. The men
handle Wabash engines Bill Hogens, an en-
ploye, last night refused to handle Wabash
engine and was dismissed The master of the
shop was notified that Hogens must be rein
stated and paid for lost time, or STRIKE would
ensue Under the orders of the superintendent
Hogens was reinstated to day and paid for lost
time. Both sides are acting very cautiously"

THE CHOLERA.
Mortality Increasing and the Situation Grow
ing Worse in Spain and France.

MADRID, Aug. 21.-Throughout Spain, yester
day. there were s. 104 new cases of cholera and
l644 deaths. During the twelve hours ended at
midnight last night, fourteen cases and
nine deaths were reported in this city, and III
new cases and forty one deaths in the province
outside of the city.
The excitement among the people of the Ca
nary Islands, caused by fear of cholera.
amounts to panic. They now refuse to permit
any persons from Spain to land. They made an
exception in favor of the new Governor, and
allowed him to come ashore but received him
with riotous demonstrations and threw stones at
him. The local authorities have resigned, and
many of the people have fed to the interior in
fear of the approach of the scourge. Today the
soldiers occupy the streets and all public build
ngs.
A Marseies telegram says: THE st. Loup
quarter is becoming the center of the cholera
epidemic The formaiity observed of admitting
patients to the Pharo Hospital results, it is
thought, in many deaths through delay There
were twenty-five deaths last night. The situa
ton here is growing worse. Between A. NJ.
and 5 p NJ. to-day one hundred deaths were
reported, of which fifty were from cholera.
There are over one hundred patients in the
Pharo Hospital"
The total number of deaths from cholera IN
Marseilles for the past twentyfour hours is
sixty nine. There were ten deaths in the Pharo
Hospital The total number of deaths since the
outbreak of the epidemic is 600. The scourge
shows no sign of abatement
Two deaths from cholera were reported in
Toulon to day. General Campenon, Minister or
War; has ordered that the troops in the garrison
be dispersed. and that the recentlyequipped
men of war leave the harbor, making Brest the
point of departure for China and Madagascar.
A telegram from Gibraltar says: THE seven
deaths from cholera which have occurred here
up to date all within the Spanish lines.
The government of Gibraltar is about to impose
a two days quarantine against all arrivals from
the country. 1t is reported that if this be done
government will retaliate by cutting Gibraltar
off from all supplies from the towns"

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Incrcasin. Irritation in Spain Over Their
Annexation by Germany.

Increasing Irritation in Spain Over Their
Annexation by Germany.
MADRID, Aug 21.-The reply of Germany to
SPANS protest in reference TO the formers an
nexation of the Caroline Islands has been re-
ceived by the government here. 1t is couched
in friendly terms, and in it the German gov
eminent offers to submit the claims of Spain to
the Carolines to fair examination. II is re-
ported here that two Spanish war ships have
occupied Yop, the chief island of the Caroline
group The feeling in Madrid against Germany
because Of her assumption Of possession of these
islands is so bitter as to cause alarm. At a
meeting of the Geographical Society, last night,
various members made speeches violently de-
nouncing the action of Germany. Their remarks
were received with applause. Fears are enter
tanned that hostile demonstration will be made
against the German embassy, and in cOnse-
quence body of policemen has been detailed to
guard that building.
The irritation against Germany increases
hourly. The official press is more indignant
over the seizure Of the Caroline Islands than the
opposition press. The newspapers generally
advocate reprsals Count Won Sams-Sonne-
valid, German ambassador to Spain, now
abstains from attending the theaters and avoids
the public promenades and places of amusement.
1t is semi-offc;ally stated that the government
intends to rupture the commercial and
diplomatic relations existing between Germany
aud Spain unless Germany abandons her claim
TO the CarolineS
Senior Carvajal, in an address before the
Spanish African Society, to-day, denounced
Germany for trespassing upon Spanish rights.
The society has decided to reassemble and pass
resolutions demanding that Spain take energetic
action against Germanys occupation of the
Caroline Islands Prince Bismarck's reply to
the Spanish protest is considered ,evasive and
uneotiSfdCtUIY, although no prOfcosuo W Ue
willing to submit SPANS claims to the examina-
ton of arbitrator.
King Alfonso has instructed the Spanish
ambassador at London to proceed to Berlin and
entreat Emperor William to delay the occupa-
ton of the Caroline Islands. He fears that he
will be deposed by his subjects.

Effect of Their Injudcous Action on Finance

Effect of Their Injudicious Action on Finance
and Business.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-If the expressions
one hears from Congressman now in Washington
are in any degree those of the majority of the
lower house of Congressman it is fair to pre-
sumo they are-the labor unions of the country
are lnjuring very seriously their influence be-
fore Congress by the continuous agitation,
strikes threatened strikes, boycotting etc.
Nearly every member of Congress have asked
within the past fortnight about the effort
that is being made by the laboring men for an
extra session of Congress has precipitately
exclaimed:
Il think the labor unions are doing more now
than anything else to increase the distrust and
imjure the condition of finance than anything
else just now
The labor unions. it seems are OVERRIDING the
matter just at present 1t is suggested by the
statesmen that labor would be strengthened
before Congress-that is the demands of work
ingmen would be more favorably considerable
the representative orders would lay their wants
before their representatives in Congress, unac-
companied by confidence destroying acts and
proclamations, What congressman are clamor~
ing for IS what the country wants-restoration
of business confidence.

STRANGE SIGHT AT COHOES.
The Figures of Cross and Chalice Appear
Oh Cloth Covering q Dead Childs Face.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 21.-Considerable excite
ment has been caused in Cohoes by a strange
sight at the residence of Mr.. Thos. Wood, whose
infant child died on Wednesday, When the
undertaken prepared the body for burial, one of
the party present suddenly declared that
the figures of cross and chalce
could be seen on the white cloth that
covered the child's face. The others looked
and saw the figures. Word Went out
and people fOcked to the house until it became
necessary to call on the police 10 keep back the
crowd The cloth was frequently wet with
water, but the figures remained. The spots
where the cross and chalice were outlined were
of glistening winter shade than the remainder
of the cloth when it was wet. About II o'clock
Yesterday the shadow disappeared. Many be-
lieve it to have been a miracle
