gentleman who nominated II provoked roars
OF laughter by describing him a. a gentleman

senator should be poor man. as Mr.. Settle was,
as he owned nothing but wife and four
small children" The vote on adjournment

the South American troubles are practically over

raising its rate Of discount week ago has been
proved by the result. An advance at the weekly
meeting tomorrow would pass almost unnotlccd,
because Of the calmcr feeling in London. The dan
gers from the South American complications I'M
donbtedly have been fully anticipated further
