Financial Centers.

Increased Activity and a Firm Feeling at
Financial Centers.
LONDON, Avg. 30.-The London money mar
ket displayed more activity during the past
week, caused by the gold Withdrawals for
Egypt, fears of an export of gold to America late
in the autumn, and talk of q revival of trade.
Three months bills were quoted at II; shorter
dates at 81 short loans at J. The stock market
was active up to the latter portion of the week.
Prices improved, but subsequently eased off,
owing to speculative reaiizations There is still
hopeful feeling that large speculative account
for rise will open in all departments, although
the public does not appear eager to take stock.
The support of the ''bear" account having been
withdrawn. some signs Of downward reaction
were apparent. Americans showed a decline of
J to L. for the week.
The Paris Bourse was firm throughout the
week.
The Berlin market has been somewhat dull
but the majority of the quotations have been
fully maintained. Mine-owners in France, Ger
many, Belgium and Spain have completed zinc
convention. England and America are now the
only countries which the continental producers
have to compete with. Germany will shortly
sign customs treaty with Turkey. The Porte
has granted Germany valuable concessions.
AT Frankfort, business during the week was
limited, with a firm tendency.

His Statement Is Not Confession, and Cam

Sr. LOUIS, Aug 3O.-It having been said and
spread abroad that the. statement made that
Lucius A. White, and now in the hands of the
United States district attorney, is o the nature
of confession of his connection witt .he scheme
10 counterfeit Brazilian bank notes. the assistant
attorney says it is simply voluntary statement
and cannot be put in evidence or any way used
against White, nor the district attorney testi-

In which he repeats much that has already been
published, says the man who first broached to
him the project of having the Brazilian treasury
notes printed for use as labels was his
brother Joseph, and not Lane, as heretofore
stated He speaks of one or two others. The
matter of printing was arranged at the house of
his brother, in Texas, and he then came to St.
Louis to carry out the plan. He Denies how
ever that it was their intention to use the notes
for anything but cigar box labels. He speaks of
two or three persons whom he and ais brother
met in New York, last spring, on their return
from Europe, among them Hermann and Charles
Levy, of No. 1l05 Fulton street, Captain Gun
ningham and a Mr.. Gautiere but he doesn't
know that either of them knew anything about
this scheme, although he now suspects that one
of the Levys had been consulted by his brother

COLONEL N0RRIS'S ACCOUNTS.
A Former Pension Agent Explains Why His
Settlement Has Been DELAYED.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. pa. Wilson Norris
late pension agent in this city, returned today,
and sent letter to the Third Auditor of the
Treasury in regard to the statements made
public by the latter to the effect that Colonel
Norriss accounts for June had not been settled
Colonel Norris says that the letter from the
Third Auditor calling his attention to the fact
was not forwarded to him. and that he did not
see it until to-day. He says in his letter to the
Third Auditor that forty days was allowed
in which to settle such accounts, and more if
circumstances warranted; that in this case he
could find no safe place for the custody of the
10000 vouchers for that month until July 90
that since that time his clerks have been busy in
making an abstract of them; tnat this abstract
will soon be ready to forward to Washington,
and the balance to the late pension agents ac-
count now in the Treasury of the United States
to his credit will be formally covered into the
Treasury. Colonel Norris asks, in cor cluson,
to be relieved of the unjust charge of being "a
technical embezzler and defaulter," it being
impossible for him to draw dollar of this bal
ance under any circumstances.

ENGLISH SCANDALS,
Fresh Kumors as to immortality in High

Fresh kumOrS as to immortality In High
PIaces-An Overdone Business.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-Fresh rumors and state
ments of the moral misconduct of persons in high
places are heard and discussed in the clubs, the
newspapers and social circles. A scandal is now
connected with the mysterious movement of the
King Of the Belgians on the occasion of his visit
to England. Soon after his arrival at Dover he
suddenly disappeared, and returned as mysteri-
ously after an absence of ten or twelve hours.
1t is varously asserted that he had made flying
trip to Folkestone, to Canterbury and to Lon
don. and that in either the errand was an
immoral one. The gossips recall the story that
on former occasion King Leopold slipped away
from Brussels and that he was Immediately fol-
lowed by the Queen, who chartered special
steamer and caught up with his royal
Hlghness at Dover and brought him back
with her to Belgium Ever since
the revelations of the Pail Mall Gazette the gov
eminent has been endeavOring to find some
means of counteracting the effect the publication
had upon the public against the aristocratic
classes. 1t has been decided to commence Grim.
inal proceedings against Mrs Jarrett, the re-
formed procuress. to whom reference is made in
the Maiden Tribute" articles, under the heading
''How Girls Are Bought and Sold" 1t is claimed
tnaL Lno legaI OLlcerS OF the government nave
ample evidence to p1 owe that the girl Armstrong
who was the Lilly" of the revelations, was
obtained from her mother under false pretenses
and subjected to all the indignities alleged by
the Gazette short of actual seduction for the
purpose of proving how such crimes could be
committed. The propriety of including the
editor of the Pail Mall Gazette in the indict-
ment against Mrs. Jarrett is recon-
mended by leading counsel. In either
case it is probable that the scandal
which has filled the air Of England for so many
weeks will be revived in a court of justice. The
effect of the monster meeting in favor of protec-
tion to young girls, which was held in Hyde
Park last Saturday afternoon, has not been so
great as its managers expected The crusade
against licentiousness in aristocratic circles,
far as the publication of all sorts of indecent
details is concerned, has been pushed too far
That branch of the business has been greatly
overdone, pretext having thus been made for
printing a mass Of obscene literature. The
respectable reading public is tired of it aud a
reaction has begun. Through the influence of
a society in Birmingham, formed for the purpose
of suppressing such literature, the police have
arrested the venders of daily paper of that
city containing a scurrilous attack on the moral
ity of the aristocratic classes and the authori-
ties intend to punish them to the full extent Of
the law

public meeting was held at Barcelona. to-
day, to protest against the seizure of the Caro-
line Islands by Germany. The populace de-
mauded that the Spanish flag be hosted on the
government building, and became enraged when
the authorities refused to comply with their de-
mands The main door of the building was set
on fire by the mob, and the military had to be
called out to restore order.
At Madrid military precautions by the gov
eminent prevented a threatened renewal of the
antiGerinan demonstrations.
Spanish troops have occupied Yap and the
Palos Islands. Count Won Salms Sonnenwald,

friendly manner.

COMING STATES.
A Possibility that Dakota May BE Admitted
by the Next Congress-.

by the Next Congress.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-It begins to look as
though Dakota Territory may be admitted into
the Union of States this winter. The objection
most seriously raised to giving that thriving and
popuous Territory the functions of statehood
was that it would add two United States sena
tors and two or three congressman to the ranks
of the Republicans But a way IS being con-
trived to overcome this Washington or Mon
tana Territory will come in at the same time
and either will offset Dakota, politically, so far
as national politics is concerned
Dakota will not be divided, however, before
being admitted. 1t is the almost unanimous
wish of the people there that it be divided and
only the southern portion come in as State
yet that would leave another Republican Terri
tory to be admitted some day with it's Repub-
lican environment There is decided feeling
that Dakota should be made State without
division, and if it is statehood the people there
want, they would do well not to clamor over
division, but let that be a matter for settlement
at some future time-when everything here is
Republican, for instance.
When Dakota is admitted it may be that New
Mexico and Utah will come into statehood too
Some Democratic congressman who have ex-
pressed willingness recently to vote for
these other Territories, as also Washington and
Montana, come in at the same time. There may
be fight over this thing yet
