A Novel Mode of Warfare.

New Jersey inventor thinks he has hit
upon method of establishing peace per-
maucntly upon the earth by means of
electricity. lie does not propose To re-
model human nature, but expects to make
warfare SO deadly that it will be sheer
madness for one nation Ia attack another.
According TO his plan, warfare would re-
suit in the substantial determination Of all
who yentured to engage in it. The inven-
tor describes his idea thus, In word

to Gothpers' wishes, would discuss the

samo time to reply, and then take up
other matters. lilo denied emphatically
that his invitation to Gompers was in
the nature of challenge.
Gompers issued written reply to tho

to entrap him (Gompers) into a packed

STARTLING REPORTS.
Causes of the Recent Gold
Export.
GERMANY'S FINANCIAL POLICY
She Is Fostering Her Exports, Re
tarding Her Imports and
Hoarding Gold.

NEw YoRK, June ia local paper
says; The recent shipment of 81 2ji,UOO
in gold TO Germany, $4,000 OF which
went on the Columbia this morning,
has been followed by the circulation in
banking circles of several disgusting
rumors, one reaching the government
officials to the effect that the shipments
are on direct orders from the German
chancellor. One OF the leading bankers
here said; The recent advances in ex-
change on Berlin, aud the low rate OF
exchange In Germany arises from the
policy of extending Gcrmany's export
business, and at the. same time of plac-
ing such restrictions on imports AS to
practically protect them The reason
for this policy is that the German gov
ernment is boarding gold, and no
matter what excuses the bankers acting
as its agents may make 1t is well
known where the order comes from and
where the gold goes to. 1t is estimated
that SlO, 900 600 will be taken by Hidel-
bach, Iekelheimer Il Co. In the present
orders from this city,"
An English banker said to-day that
sterling exchange and exchange on
Paris were just at the gold shipping
point, and that any further advance in
the rates would bring out
large export orders. The worst
feature Of the situation is the fact that
the gold bars In the assay office, which
two years ago amounted TO $4,000 90,
have decreased to $50, ,5OUOOU. III they
should be all absorbed, drain on the
double eagles In the subtreasury would
follow, and the banks would lose o part
OF their special holdings.
The opinion on Wall street is freely
expressed that the law allowing the
withdrawal OF gold bars tor export
should be amended. and that the treas
ury officials should insist on paying all
checks in coin. This should limit the
shipment OF gold to a small figure, for 1t
would take "a wide difference in exchange
for shippers to realize proht In ship
ping coin. Gold bars are ol known fine
ness, and are charged for accordingly.
On the other hand gold coin often falls
1 per cent below the standard OF Tine
ness, and in addition, there Is always
loss by abrasion,

THE TARIFF BILLS.
Estimate OF the Effect Upon Custom.
Collections.

WAsHisGTos, June 22.--The statement
Of the effect upon the customs receipts OF
the provision OF the tariff bill, as RS.
ported by the senate finance committee,
has been completed. These show that
tho amount OF out,es collected In 1880
upon the importation OF all articles made
dutiable In the house bill and the amend
ments proposed by the senate, assessed
under the existing law, was si6i. 4Os, $40.
The duties estimated under the house
bill amount to 500, 2i9,877. Under the
bill as amended by the senate s20i. $50, =
COZ. The equivalent ad valorem rate
under the house bill is sos per cent.
and under the senate bill 5l.97 per cent.
The reduction of the revenue by the
transfer OF articles to the free list in the
house bill, including the Sl03. 27s. rs re-
duction In the internal revenue taxes
stricken out by the senate finance COM
mittee, is estimated at s7l,08t, IA. by
the transfer of articles to the free list In
the senate bill the reduction of the reve.
nue. Is estimated at so, 500, 3i3.
A note to the recapituistion says;
the plan and theory usually

unreliable and misleading. They are
based upon the assumption that II tbs

lleyed to be tho beginning OF a general

have been repeated warnings for some
time past. As the telegraph lines ara

is impossible to learn the de-
tails oy wire, and some days
must elspse before all OF tho facts can be
obtained. There are signs OF uneasiness
in government circles, and the general
feeling Is that crisis is imminent. Tho
tyranny OF tho government Is daily be-
coming heavier and II is almost certain
that within q year Dinz will proclaim

prevent such disaster TO tho republic.
