Special to the Globe.

CHICAGO. May 16.-A degree of mod
Grafton, approaching dullness, is a pre-
dominant characteristic of the business
world at present. Especially is this true
in banking business. There is very little
movement of any kind. Money is plenty,
lenders are disposed to get all they can,
and borrowers hold off for lower rates.
Ordinary transactions are based on 4@5
per cent. for call loans, and SOC per cent.
for time money, but these figures are shaded
frequently in special and particular cases.
New York exchange between banks was

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Dry Goods-For
leading makes and popular styles there has
been an improved business, as the result of
buyers not securing supplys at the auction
sales. Very pertinent inquiry by the many
prominent dealers present shows that the
supply with agents is nothing like as large as
supposed, and that curtaiment of production
on a continued growing scale is lessening the
output OF the mills so that the growth OF
stocks has not been nor will it be as rapid
as during cold weather months. The
result has been a very good movement of
staple brown and colored cottons yesterday
and to-day, and many transactions in progress
for next week.

that stock are getting uneasy. Louisville
& Nashville bonds have lately had an i'm
portant advance, caused by foreign orders.
London has been large buyer of them
privately and in open market ever since the
Tennessee bond decision was rendered. The
outside public in this country, however, are
buying very few stocks at present. They
have been fooled and gulled by Wall street
too many times already.

Special to the Globe
SARATOGA,N. y. Aug. 27.-The United
States committee on interstate commerce,
consisting of Senator Shelby NJ. Cullum of
Illinois, chairman, and Senators Orvill II.
Platt OF Connecticut, Warner Miller of New
York, Arthur p. German of Maryland and
Isham q. Harris of Tennessee are in seS-
sion at the United States hotel, reviewing
and arranging the /, 800 printed pages of tes-
timOny taken at their meetings at New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, st.
Louis, Omaha, Des MOines, Minneapolis
and ST. Paul and discussing the points to
be made in their report next winter.
They have examined 4 great many
witnesses, as may be inferred from
the amount of evidence taken, but compare
lively few railroad men have awaited them
selves of the invitation to make their views
and wishes known. At Omaha the anti
monOpOlists appeared in force and the
farmers did the same thing at Des MoineS.
They will probably consume the greater
part of the week preparing their report.
While nothing is yet definitely known as TO
its recommendations the impression is quite
strong that they will suggest the active eX-
ercise by congress of the constitutional
power to regulate commerce between the
states in the prevention of unjust freight
discrimination in pools and consultations.

Chinese Immigration.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-John Russell
Young, eX-minister TO China. in an inter
view yesterday said: 1.-The emigration queS-
ton is not understood in America Immi-
grafton from China comes from one point
alOne-CantOn. Canton is 4 city of ], 900. -
600, the center of the vast province. the
most southern port in China. Within seven
hours of Canton by river is Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a British settlement as much
under the British flag as is Cork or Liver
pool. All the traffic i'm the way of imlni-
grafton to America comes from Hong Kong
mainly through British houses. There is
no stipulation treaty and there can be none
to Justify us in asking the Chinese govern
ment to prevent Cinnamon going from Can
ton to Hong Kong. There they are free
from Chinese influence. If the American
government wishes TO reach the immigra-
ton question it will have to 90 to Lord
Salisbury and ask him TO so instruct
his government in Hong Kong as that there
may be no immigration. The British
governor general at Hong Kong. whose
guest | have been. said he was perfectly
willing, if the American government wished
it, to stop the immigration. but had no
instructions. There is nothing in the
record to show that China has ever en-
deavored to evade the treaty. On the con-
trary, she has enforced it even more strin-
gently than any request of ours calls for.
The Chinese do not care for emigration.
They would stop the whole thing tomorrow.
They do not of course, like the idea of
other nationalities being accepted and they
being excluded, but that is question of
pride on their part.

REGARDING THOSE ISLANDS.
Germany Willing To Arbitrate the
Question OF Her Rights,
But Spain Deems the CarOlines Her
Property and Hesitates.

BERLIN, Aug. 2T.-COunt Won Haizfeldt,
German secretary of state. on the cath
inst. wrote 10 Count de BenOmar, Spanish
ambassador 10 Berlin. that Germany in Oc-
cupying tine Caroline islands. had no inten-
ton 10 prejudice any anterior rights which
Spain might possess therein. and If an eN-
animation into the question of Spanish
rights 10 the CarOiines should produce no
mutual understanding. Germany would be
still perfectly disposed To appeal the dis
pute TO the good offices of some friendly
To both diSputantS. German official circles
here are Sanguine that a method of
calm adjustment OF the CaTolines difficulty.
based on the facts of the ease, will be
reached and Will prevent rupture of the
relations between Germany and Spain.
Allowance is made for the difficulty OF the
situation in which the question places King
AlphOnSO, FOR il is believed among German
diplomats that the Radicals. the Republi-
cans and the FederalistS, supported by the
French party IN Spain, have commenced to
ferment an anti-GeTman feeling among the
Spanish people.
The Caroline islands not seized by Ger
many will be occupied by Spain directly

alert and uneasy, and he added
to the secret precautions arranged for his
safety more than one device of his own.
He was pale and carewOrn during his entire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2T.-Mr. DickerSOn,
late superintendent of the pension building,

emphatically that there IS any foundation
for the charge made against him. tie says
that he has bills In his possession for
every foot of lumber. every yard of
carpet, and every piece of furniture
in the house on Colonial beach. lie defes
proof of any of the allegations against him.
lie says that the trouble is that the new
officials do not know where 10 find the
materials, and that he will. when called
upon. point them out to them. The new
officials, he says, have neglected TO enquire
of him the whereabouts of the materials,
and if they will ask him he will show
them where everything can be found. 1t is
stated that Mr.. DickersOn was in no way
employed in The construction of the new
pension building and had no connection
with the pension Office pay roll. The re-
ports concerning the Irregularities appear To

Danger of sham Battles.

LA SALE, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-Private r. A.
Purdee of the Fourth regiment, Illinois
National Guards, who was wounded in the
face during the sham battle at the state en-
campment near Ottawa, two weeks ago,
died here to-day from lOckjaw, induced by
his injuries. Great indignation prevails
against the First Illinois Cavalry regiment,
which is held responsible for his death.
Statements were publicly made after the
battle that the cavalry had a grudge
against certain other regiments, and had
gone into the fight with preconcerted de-
sign of manning as many of its opponents
as possible. Vicious fighting and the num-
Der of casualties that characterized the battle
excited much comment at the time. Private
Purdee leaves wife and four children in in
digent circumstances. The coroner will
hold an inquest tomorrow, and, If the guilty
