A Dull Flour Market.

Minneapolis special, A. There was a
more perceptible falling off in the flour
output last week, the grind being the
lightcst in seven weeks. The production
Of the week was l63,600 barrels. against

There are two mills representing daily
capacity of 1000 barrels shut down this
week, and more promise to be idle week
hence. Novem' er is the day set for
closing the government reservoirs up
north, and as they are at present supp "
ing about SO per cent Of the water this will
have decided effect on the power of the
mills. The -four market continues very
dull, with millers inclined to ask more to
Offset the advance in wheat. The export
trade continues without amy life. Offers,
however, rango little higher than week
ago. The direct exports last week were
29,700 barrels, against 29,800 for the pre-

Schwartz Kopf, the secretary of the
United States commission for the Belgian
exposition, who went to Brussels with let
tars of Introduction to Prince De Chemay,
minister Of foreign affairs, and to M. De
Moreau. former minister of public works,
from the Belgian minister at Washington,
and who has been received and entertained
by the best society of Brussels, has been
arrested on the charge of stealing n dia-
mond necklace from M. Bardt, Partisan
jeweler, in 1886, and for numerous swind-
ling operations committed between 1881
and 1882 in France and Belgium. Schwartz
kopf is fine looking man of 35, and led a
very luxurious life at Brussels. He had,
subsequently to his swindling operations,
gone to Amer1ca and become naturalized.
This he thought sufficient to protect him
from arrest for his former backslidings.
but his arrest proves the contrary and
causes a sensation in Brussels society.

AFTER MURCHIsoN.


The National Democratic Committee
Offers 1900 for His Ris Neal Name.
POMONA, CAL, Oct. 8i.--The National
Democratic committee has telegraphed to
Postmaster Steiu and j. A. Clark OF this
place to offer in the name Of the committee
a reward Of 81 900 for the name Of the
author of the Murchison letter and TO spend
81 900 in detectives and means to apprehend
the author. Several Republicans here who
positively know who the man signing him
self Murchison is, say that he lives here,
walks the streets every day, and that neither
Patrick Egan nor any nonresident what
soever had anything TO do with the letter.
1t was conceived in Pomona, written In
Pomona, and by . resident Of four years
standing.
Perhaps Hutchinson Wrote II.
4 Washington special Of Wednesday
says: IL the PEOPLE who are searching in
California for Murchison will look for q
man named Hutchinson they may get on
to the track Of the gentleman who
sought political advice from the
English Minister. A man named Hutch.
inson was here In September and told
friends who showed him some attention that
he was naturalized Englishman, that he
had some acquaintance with Lord Sack
willie, and was very anxious to call upon
him. He did not succeed in this because
his lordship was ont Of town. Hutchin-
son had . good deal 10 s6y abont politics
and about our relations with Canada, and
said he was in good deal OF doubt as to
which ticket be should vote this fall. He
spoke several times Of desiring to see the
English Minister for certain reason.

Has a Bank Been sw,ndlede

At the United States mint at Philadel-
phia some metal purporting to be gold was
received from the west. 1t resembled in
shape the ordinary bars Of that metal.
and in appearance it looked something
like; but when it was placed in the hands
of the assayer that official was not a mo-
ment i'll deciding that it was spurious and
of little value. A closer examination de-
ve,oped the fact the bar was made of base
metals. A bar of gold of the same size
would be worth S35,0O0 Superintendent
Fox would not disclose the name of the
party from whom the bar was received, but
has telegraphed to the senders that it was
spurious. A whisper was heard in another
direction that western bank had been
imposed upon by swindlers, and that it had
made an advance upon the bar.

POLICE DISCIPLINE.

An important question of police discipline has
Just been passed upon in Brooklyn. 1t arose IN
connection with the recent street-railroad strike.
When the company involved was about to run n
car over its tracks, numerous distractions were
placed upon them A sergeant OF the Twelfth Pre-
cnct was ordered by Inspector Reilly TO take a
platoon of ten men and remove some heavy blocks
of granite which stopped the cars progress after 1t
had gone a short distance. To the surprise Of the
sergeant the men refused to obey, whercupon Cap
tain Folk ordered them to remove the stones The
policemen still refused to do as they were hidden,
and a squad from another precinct were set at the
work or course this fragrant act of insubordina-
ton could not be passed over, and the ten men
were promptly summoned before Commissioner
Bell to answer charges of violating the rule of the
Department which provides that all officers shall
render prompt obedience TO orders, and compliance
with the rules of the department will be strictly
enforced"
1t was understood that they had obtained counsel
and intended to make a sturdy defence, based on a
general order issued last August in connection
with another strike. This order provided among
other things as follows: No member of the
force Will drive any car, act in any capacity
as a servant OF the railroad company But this
did not prove to be the case The offenders, in
stead wisely admitted their guilt and threw them
selves on the mercy of their Judge. After stern
and impressive lecture he dismissed them with n
fine of ten days pay each That they were guilty
of deliberate disobediencc was plain as the sun
light on a cloudcss day. That it was not in their
discretion to determine whether the order given
them was proper order not was equally plain.
They must have acted in accordance with pre-
arranged PLAN since they could not have taken
concerted action on the spur of the moment.
The lesson of instant and UNIQUE stioning obedi-
encc has been taught the Brooklyn police force in
the sharpest and ccarest manner Commissioners
Bell is right when he says: This force is a
military body, and the obedience of soldier is de-
manded from every member" The same truth
applies to the police force of every city. and the
Brooklyn lesson will not be without marked moral
effect elsewhere.

MONEY And BUSINESS.

The exports and engagements of gold for eX-
port last week amounted TO 81, L &C. 900 As il has
long been realized that thu situation here depended,
almost entirely TO speculation, and 10 some eX-
tent TO legitimate business upon the contin-
nance of supplies OF capital from Europe for in
vestment in this country, the cessation of the
movement this way has caused depression in stocks
and in most other markets. From the London
point of view, the shipment of S6,400,0O0 gold
to South America and the placing of the Russian
loan Of 81 co. 600. 900 furnish sufficient eXpana-
ton Of the change in demand for money. Then
trunll-line disturbances here the effects of the
Interstate law and the partial loss of crops in
some districts, had discouraged many holders of
American securities and their sales not
met for the moment by corresponding foreign
purchases. Thus gold began 20 go abroad just
when the merchandise movement became more
favorable TO this country
October official reports show excess OF exports
over imports of ss47o, 7l2-ihe first monthly bal
ance on that side since January. Following eight
months in which imports exceeded exports
s94 900 OOO this favorable return did not give as
surance that gold would not b" demanded in settle
ment by the other side; indeed, the nominal cx-
cess of exports in October only was less than the
probable amount Of undcrvaluations and interest
accruing and due abroad for that month. No
vember returns appear better; imports at New
York for four weeks have been S522 600 or IL
per cent less than last years. But the weekly
Newly ork returns Of imports cannot be reconced
with the final monthly statements of late so that
imports here may have increased. and in October,
Yifl small increase AT New-York, the increase in
imports outside Of New-Yorl was $4,000, 900, or
6 per cent Exports from Ncw-lo for three
weeks have been s7Oi 00O or per cent less than
last year. But last month the cotton movement
was sG,OO00OO short, and yet in other articles
there was such an increase that the loss in aggre-
gate was only sl,3OO,0O0 This month the cotton
movement has been 1898 bales, against 557. 739
last year, and the corn movement shows gain Of
$50, 900 bushels in three weeks, while the decrease

squad of prohibtionists elected the candidate
of the saloons rather than Mr.. Miller. That
is one of those plumbers which conscientious
voters who possess common sense VIII not be
deluded into making a second time. 1t is
therefore safe to say that voters OF this sort
will take themselves out of the third-party
movement, and refuse to be used again az tools
by the liquor interest.
Government must make progress, IL at all,
only in harmony with the will of the people.
The Prohibition idea Of progress is rejected by
80 cut of 90 of the people. and by AZ out of
so of those who earnestly desire temperance
reform. The thing certain is that further
progress, if any is to be made at all, must be
along the line chosen by the 10, and not along
the line chosen by only out of 30 whose votes
are needed. The duty of the future for sin
cere Temperance men is to strengthen that pub
lie opinion which demands High License, and
to give that measure the moral and political
support, and when enacted the faithful en-
forcement, which will determine how far it
can remove the evils of intemperance.
