Director ofthe Mint Leech Explains.

CHICAGO, May pa dispatch from
Washington says: Director of the Mint
Leech said to-day the interview with him
about the alleged silver corner Saturday
conveyed an erroneous impression. What
he did say was that silver was
being bought in London and shipped
to this country and deposited in the ASSAY
office in New York for fine bars which are
being stored by private parties The gov.
eminent has bought no silver in London
nor has it stored any silver in the west.
1t is not storing silver at all and of course
is not issuing certificates on silver bullion
as there is no law authorizing such issue
II did say that but little silver was being
offered to the government for sale and
that at price considerably above the
maaket price and above the price at
which certificates on silver bullion de-
posted in western national banks are he
ing sold in New York. In regard to the
coiner in silver, said did not know ANY,
thing about itn

Gladstone Speaks Before Golden Club.

LONDON, May 13.-Gladstone spoke at
the Golden club tonight. He said that
free traders must recognize with great dis
appointment how much ground had been
lost by their doctrine within the last
twenty five years. Militarism, which lay
IKE vampire over Europe, was responsible
Tor much of the mischief, out not for all,
because free trade receded in countries
where malitarism did not prevail. In the
United States and in the British Colonies
Protection applied now in America not
only to goods but 30 persons. as lnstanced
by the treatment Of Chinese The great re-
public never accepted the doctrines of free
trade. AT one time there had been an an
qualified progress toward them, but this
was being checked, opinion became actu
ally retrogressive. Still, the growing
strenth, activity and clearness of CON
Vlctlon of the free trade American party
gave favorable promise of it's ultimate
trump at the polls. On looking over the
world the prospects for free trade certainly
were not encouraging. This state of
opinion had emboldened the champions of
protection, long lurking in their holes, to
venture out and renew the struggle under
the name of fair trade.
Regarding bi-metalism, Gladstone said it
was q movement in the direction of pro-
lection. Since the adoption of free trade
the wages Of workingmen have increased
5O per cent. England was working out
great social and economical problem for the
benefit of the world. He was confident
that free trade, though temporarily dis
credited, was distined to become the uni
VerSal charter of trade and obtain general
acceptance with civilized nations

Temperance in the Commons.

LONDON. May 12.-In the commons to-
night Richie, president of the local gov
eminent board, moved second reading of
the local taxation bill dealing with public
ans licenses. He declared the govern
ment's purpose was to promote temper
anee by gradually lessening the number of
public houses. Heroic measures would not
do, in view of the fact that the country
was not yet converted to popular vote.
He appealed to the temperance party to
recognize the existing facts that public
opinion would not support them in trying to
reduce to beggary people carrying on a
legitimate business.
Game, advanced Liberal. moved its re-
lection. The bill, while giving 6 pence in
the pound to the temperance party gave
the liquor dealers sovereign. On no moral
nor legal ground could the compensation be
given.

East Africa in the Reiehstag.

BERLIN, May 12.-During the debate on
the East Africa credits in the reichstag to-
day, Baron Won Marschal1 explained that
the mission of Emin Pasha in Africa on the
part of the Germans would be confined to
establishing friendly relations with those
tribes In the interior within the German
sphere of interest and to estimating the
cost of eventually forming fortified stations
in the interior. On the negotiations with
England regarding the boundaries there of
their respective possessions in Africa, the
predominating wish of Germany was to go
hand in hand with England and cultivate a
common interest for both countries.
In the course of the debate on the esti-
mates for expenses of the colonies, Chan
cellor Won Caprivi stated that though he
originally approve the colonial policy of the
empire, he agreed with Bismarck that such
policy could only be maintained without
the support of the nation. AS matters now
stand, the government cannot retreat from
It's position regarding colonial affairs with
out loss of honor and money No change
of his views on the system was to be in any
way implied from his assumption of office.
The government would everywhere respect
foreign rights and protect German rights.

A BAND OF BALLET GIRLS.
They Meet With a Very Unpleasant Expert
ence from Custom Inspectors.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New York, May 12.-The ballet girls
who were engaged by Captain Alfred
Thompson to carve the ambient atmos-
phere of the Madison Square garden with
their graceful limbs, arrived here on a
steamship week ago. With them came
forty eight bulky hampers containing their
costumes and personal effects. Each ham
per bore the tag of the Madison Square
Garden company and the name of the
owner. After proper examination by the
inspectors they were duly passed, and had
Madison Square garden been in readiness
the costumes would have been stored
there. As 1T was they were taken to 459
West Twenty first street, and placed in
charge OF the mistress of wardrobe, Nine.
Downing. The dresses were allowed to
remain undisturbed until Saturday. when
Charles +. Wilbur made his appearance.
An agent upon the other side of the
water informed Wilbur, shortly before the
departure of the Lain, that the band of
dancers was about to carry to New York
$4,000 worth of costumes which did not
belong to them. Saturday afternoon he
engaged Inspectors Finley, Cummings.
Hussey and Kerrigan. They found Nine
Downing engaged in fitting the dresses to
a number OF the girls. That settled it. If
the dresses belonged to the girls, why did
not they tit them2 If the inspectors had
ever tasted the sweets of the theatrical
business, they would have known that
spectacular costumes were made by the
gross and that under the circumstances it
is not surprising that several of the terp-
sichoreans were obliged to have their
raiments altered. But the inspectors knew
naught of this, so they seized the hampers.
Wilbur is convinced that the case is one of
plain smuggling and will report it in that
light to Secretary Window, with whom its
future disposition will rest.

MINISTER REDS BALL.
An Unpleasant meident-The EEnglish Press
Pronounce it Exceedingly Brilliant.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Cable. I
PARIS, May ia very unpleasant Incl
dent threatened to mar the success of the
brilliant ball given Friday night by Min
lister and Mrs. Reid. Near midnight an
American lady named Trueman, whose
reputation in Paris in not of the best. en-
tered the ball room, although it was we'll
known she had not received an invitations
she was challenged by newspaper cores
pondent named Haynie. though the precise
reason HaJnle assumed the right to inter
1ere is not apparent. However, he said to
Mrs. Trueman: What are you doing here9
Get out of the place at once'
For what reason?n retorted Mrs. True
man" L have as much right to be here as
you nave, am quite as respectable as you
are.r
IF you don't go quietly, you will be
turned out,n said Haynie. Mrs. Trueman
then began to vociferate loudly. People
crowded around and fine scandal was i'm
minent when Haynie thought it better to
beat retreat, leaving Mrs Trueman mis-
tress of the field.
The incident is all the more regretable
because it took place under the eyes of
Ernest Carrot, son of the president. who
seemed much astonished. The bali was the
most brllilant one the Reds have given
since they came TO Paris. Most of the dip
lomatlc corps, with their wives, were pres
ent.
During the course of the evening Minis
ter Reid being asked what were Major
Rathbone's chances of remaining in Paris
at the consulate, he said that from what he
learned IN Washington the consul was
never firner in his post than now, the rea-
son being that no applications worthy of
consideration for the place had been handed
IN. 1t was Mr.. Reid's opinion that no

out the duty on sulphuric acid met similar
fate. The committee then rose and the
