ABOUT TIE FORCE ELL.

! Congress will meet again in few
weeks. Physically, it will be the same
body that made door mats of the Demo-
Gratis and perpetrated the Mckinley
abomination. Morally it will be-well,
what will it be? That depends very
much on whether Tom Reed s nerve is in
Its usual healthy and vigorous condition;
whether he managed to bring it unin-
Jured from the wreck that lately befell
his party. If he did. there will per-
haps be semblance of his old cheeki-
ness and bravado when he again mounts
the chair, but it will be only SEM
blance.
He may still insist on passing the
force bill, but it is extremely doubtful if
he 2au muster a respectable plumber Of
his own party to second the effort. OF
what use would it be, if passed and made
law? The gain of twenty five or thirty
members in the house stolen from the
South, would not give the Republicans
o majority in the Fifty-secoud
congress. Not by a long shot. They
would still be in hopeless minor
ity. The bill, if enacted into
law might be used to carry three or
four Southern states for the Republic
can ticket in 1892. There can now be
no other purpose in trying to pass it,
should the effort be contemplated. All
talk of the wish and burning desire
among the party managers to protect the
sacredness of the ballot is, of course,
nothing IN the world but burning bosh
and unmixed rot. Everybody knows
that, from Ben Harrison, who processes
it, down to the ward heeler, who manip-
ulates his block Of five.
To attempt rairoading it through the
short session, with no other end in view
than the theft of q few Southern states
two years hence, would be little short of
madness, and more suicidal than q SINH
lar effort at the last session.
They may say what they please about
the cause or causes of their defeat at the
polls, nothing in the way of logic or
augmentation, OF sophistry or plausi-
bility can put decent face on the force
bill, or recommend it to public favor.
1t is dead cock in the pit, and may as
well be buried out of sight.

EARLY NEWS FROM LONDON.
NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-Stocks were
on the rampage again to-day. Wall
street this morning WAS flooded with
cable dispatches from London 10 regard
to developments there last night. 1t was
known that the Bank of England direc-
tors and Rothschild and other banking
interests of world-wid fame had held a
meeting in London last night, and had
agreed to provide Els, 900 to assist the
firm reported as embarrassed. Private
cables stated that the firm in trouble was
the great house of Barring Bros. but as
that house was generally considered Sec
ond only to the Roihschilds and Bank of
England in Importance. the cables were
rejected as absurd. Then the financial
agency cabled over for the facts and re-
ceived the following answer: 'Baring
Bros. acceptance due to-day and Mon
day are guaranteed by tiuanciers and the
Bank of England. Total Liabilities are
estimated at f6I5, 900. The estate, in
deprecated value, shows surplus of
$4,000. The firm has not failed, but pro-
trGcted liquidation will follow.
This cable caused O profound sensa-
ton. HastY conferences were held,
and brokers decided, in order to
avoid sudden break at the
opening, to bid prices up in
as many stocks as possible.
In accordance with this decision bids
were made in all active stocks ct au ad
vance of = to 2 ger cent. above last
nights close, but prevailed for only
while, for after a little while holders Of
stock began to load and soon
VERITABLE PANIC
prevailed and the lowest prices on record
were recorded. Atchison in the first
hour fell from % to "a, Rock Island fell
4 per cent. Delaware, LackawanuR and
Western per cent. to l2+18, and other
stocks dropped so rapidly that il was i'm
possible to keep record or the decline
The widest excitement prevailed, and
brokers were disnaved ct the prospect of
one of the largest banking houses in the
world going TO the wall.
After ii a. m. everything was confu-
sion, and other failures were feurei.
Later the bank statement was received,
and as il was generally regarded favora-
BILE, much more favorable IN fact than
was expected. there was an i'm provement
In the market and the indications were
that it would close firm with an upward
tendency in prices. The following dis
patch was also received from London:
1.-The guarantee fund for Barring, Bros.
& Co. is stated to amount to so ,000,-
900. The various financial banking
and discount houses guaranteeing the
accounts, state that the crisis is over,
and the failure of the firm has been
avoided -
The unsettled state of affairs in Wall
street and among some banks continues
to retard business in dry goods circles,
and there IS little disposition to trade.
Prices are fairly steady.

When the Western Union telegraph

WHAT CAUSED IT.

The Withdrawal of Money for Investment
Abroad Tying up Millions of Pounds.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-With the close of
this week eliminated financial crisis
which has been gradually coming on for
months. although its extent was hardly
foreseen by the shrewdest capitalists.
The mad rush to Withdraw money for all
sorts of investment ahead, some of them
God aud many bad, and all involving at
best the tying up of many millions of
pounds heretofore held at low interest in
Great Britain or invested in consols is at
the bottom of the great disturbance.
The imitation eliminated about six
months ago and of late there has
been as ardent desire to real
ize as there was formerly to invest.
Your correspondent has the best author
ity for saying that the worst Is over and
that the financial fabric OF great Britain
js mistaken. The Bank of England,
which raised its rates sometime ago in
order to protect the reserve, Is able and
ready to guard the credit of our really
substantial firms and institutions, and

SITUATION SUMMED UP.

American Lands and Railroads

Tho Earrings Dealt Too Heavily in South
American Lands and Railroads
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-The facts in re-
gard to the extraordinary monetary sit
uation which has prevailed in London
for the pas ten days may be summed up
authoritatively as follows: Owing to the
extent of their operations in railroads
and land in South America the
Messrs. Barring have been more
or less embarrassed foe over
six months. 1t was not thought that it
was serious, owing to the reputation of
the firm in respect to its resources and in
respect to nearly a century of the most
successful conduct of q banking business
on a high and honorable basis, which
had given household reputation equal
almost to that of the Bank of England
itself. On last Thursday a week, the
Messrs. Barring. at the conclusion of bus
mess, decided that it was impossible
for them to continue. On FRI
day morning, the 9TH inst,
they so notified the directors
of the Bank of England who immediately
convened aud, rs will be recalled, start
led the whole financial world by raising
the rate. The proceeding was almost
unprecedented and called halt in spec
ulation in every money contract in the
world. The present week has been one
of most painful suspense il banking cir
cles and this feeling has been
reflected in minor degree in New
York where only few of the more i'm
portant houses having European con-
nections have been aware of the real
nature of the difficulty in London. The
report Of the committee which had to
deal with other private banking houses
as we'll as with that of the Barings was
made yesterday, and as an outbreak had
been
PRETTY GENERALLY ANTICIPATED
the Bank of England and the private
financial associations which acted with it
were ready to meet the situation. The
strengthening of the resources of the
Bank of England had been carried out
successfully during the week, the
Bank of France having come to
its assistance, SO far as the sup
ply of gold was concerned, and
q circular was issued this morning to all
institutions in London concerned, in
which it was stated that 81, 900 900 had
been supplied by the Bank OF England
and "a, 900. 900 by other members Of the

Does the South Want 1t?


Democratic ascendency in the next
house of representatives assured, there
comes the natural discussion of the dis
position of the spoils, for political vic
tory without spoils, as the American
people understand and practice politics,
would not be victory-the term would
be mispomer and paradoxical. The
Day notes with interest that many of the
Texas contem Doraries are strenuous for
the elevation of d Southern mau to the
speskership. Hon. R. Q. Mills being,
very naturally, the leading choice. Our
home contemporary, the Evening News,
is an enthusiastic advocate of what II
chooses to call Col. Mills claim, and 1t
is disposed to wonder that the Day is not
equally ardent in behalf of the dis
tinguished Texan. The Houston Post,
too, has pressed to the front as a cham
pion Of q Southern candidate. 1t says,
in its issue of Sunday:

Twelve Apostles of reform.
st. Louis Republic.

| Senator Cockreil's hearty approval of
the Republics plan of tariff reform is
another gratifying evidence of its FEAST
! blity and popularity. Though we have
| heard publicly from men like Messrs
Vest, Cockrell and Springer, we have
| heard nothing except hearty commsnda-
ton of the plan, nor do we expect any
thing else except from those who are
either openly or secretly in favor of
maintaining the Mckinley tariff of
denominations.
The plan is so simple that it can be IN
derstood at once by all, even by those
who have never considered the tariff
question as whole. 1t involves nothing
more than a number of separate bills,
each dealing with single article of
trade now controlled by monopolies.
No general bill would be introduced.
Each of these separate bills would stand
on Its own merits, just as did the single
bill which put quinine on the free list,
broke down the quinine monopoly, and
reduced the price of the drug from prices
ranging as high as 81 an ounce TO prices
ranging as low as forty cents.
In suggesting somewhat indefinite
number of such antitrust bills we spoke
of ga dozen separate measures, aud
Congressman Springer christeued them
for US as 'The Twelve Apostles of
Reform - Below we give them, tenta-
lively:
l. Free binder twine.
2. Free cotton ties.
8. Free worsteds for men and women's
clothing.
4. Free agricultural implements and
edged tools.
8 Free blankets.
G. Free coal.
:. Free tin and tin plates.
s. Free silver bearing led ore to re-es-
tablish our trade with MeXica.
8. Free lumber.
10. A reduction to the "reveuue
only basis on table and kitchen ware.
II. Free white lead and paints.
II. Free barbed wire and wire rods for
fences.
We doubt II q single one of these bills
could be defeated by the senate. The
Repu licau senators from Western states
have learned Il great deal since the Nc
Kinley bill was framed. Pennsylvania
would of course resist the free coal bill,
but New England would support it. So,
too, would Illinois and Ohio, il it con-
tanned reciprocity clause giving our
Western coal u chance to get into our
section of Canada in exchange for Civ
ing New England free coal from Nova
Scotia. The White Lead trust, the Bin
der Irvine trust, the Edged Tool trust
and the other monopolies thus attacked
would of course use their combined in
tiuence agains. each and all of the bills,
but failing of the sectional support they
are reinforced by, on general reform
measure, they would not be able to de-
feat the strong Western demand for re-
form.
So we send out these twelve Apostles
on their reform mission, con tdent that
their work will not be fruitless one.
The best part of the plan, however, is
that 1t prescribes nothing except that
each article shall be dealt with in its own
bill.
