SILVER TO BE CORNERED.
VIENNA BANKERS BUYING UP TIE
FLOATING SUPPLY.

The Withdrawal from the Market OF
the Firms Holdings Expected to
create Scarcity-A Belief that Eu-
rope Will Have to Become a Pur-
chaser-countiug On Legislation.
New York, June 6.-The Erening Sun
says: For several days past there has been
al animated trade in silver bullion certifi-
Gates upon the stock exchange. The price,
however, has ruled steadily around 9S cents
Der ounce, and has seemed in Wall street
pariance to have been pegged at that
figure. 1t was rumored on Wall
street this morning that a large
French syndicate had been formed TO pur.
chase this entire stock Of silver. The syndi-
cate, it is said, was represented in this
country by the banking house Of Heidel-
bach, Ickleheimer & Co., No. 90 William
street. The head of the syndicate in Europe
is thought to be the house of Thorsch & Go.
of Vienna
HOLDINGS OF THE SYNDICATE.
"It is said that Heidelbach, Iokelheimer
& Co. hold about 8, ,000, 900 ounces OF stock

Trust Company. II this were done short
ness in the supply would become at once
apparent and the price would advance
rapidly. The plan of the syndicate seems to
be about as follows: 1t is thought that the
stock of silver held in New York represents
large part of the whole floating supply
Last year England held a large stock of
silver, but it has since been sent to Japan.
India and China. The whole production of
this country is used up by the government
in meeting its legal requirments for coinage
and by the arts.
WILL HAVE A CORNER.
Hence, if Europe needs any more silver
the syndicate, controlling practically the
larger part of the floating supply, viii be
in position to dictate the price at which
it will part with it. Moreover, as election
time approaches, it is thought that the west
will renew the silver agitation and that
another attempt will be made in the next
congress to put through free coinage bill.
Silver went up to 100 last year on the ex-
pectation of free coinage, and If the bill
should become q law this year it will un-
doubtedly go to that figure again.
COUNTING ON EUROPE ALSO
1.-THE third point thatthe syndicate is said
to be calculating upon is that the recent
and present troubles in Europe will force
gold standard countries to adopt bimetal-
lie standard. During the Barring panic in
November last the Bank of England, the
greatest financial institution in the world,
was forced to become borrower from the
Bank Of France of 93, ,000, 900. The Bank Of
France was able to advance this sum only
on account Of its ability, through its char
ter, to pay out silver as we'll as gold when
its notes are presented for payment"

DR.. Gailor.

this morning. DIR. Hunter says he has re-
ceived' no official notification of DIR. Gailor's
declination of the bishopric, but he exs
pressed no surprise at the decision OF DR..
Gailor. The work at Sewanee, he says, is
o most important one, and while the honor
Is not 30 great as the post OF bishop, DR..
Gailor's strong sense of duty compelled him
to remain where he could accomplish the
most good. DR.. Hunter says: "If re-
ceive official notice in time l will call q
nesting of the standing committee Ia At
lanta next Tuesday"
WHAT THE COMMITTEE WILL DO.
The committee will receive the declina-
tlon Of DR.. Gsilor and fix the date for hold
ing the convention to elect a bishop. The
convention cannot be held until four weeks
log committee, as the members must have
four weeks notice Of the meeting. Under
all circumstances Bishop Beck this success
sor cannot be chosen and enter upon the
discharge Of his duties earlier than October.
In the meantime Dr. Hunter will continue
to perform the important duties Of bishop.
REV. BARRETT's EXPLANATION.
ATLANTA, GA, June 6. - Rev. r.
s. Barrett, pastor Of st. Luke's Cathe-
dral, tonight had quoted to him SUBJ
stantially the charge brought against him by
Savannah Episcopalians that after com-
mitting himself to Rev. Chaunoey Williams
he had advocated and nominated Chancellor
Gailor. He replied that he was never COM
mitted TO Rev. Mr.. Williams. He had
been requested to nominate him. but. two
weeks before the election, had declared that
he could not. After that no
one OF Rev. Mr.. Williams friends
had addressed him on the subject. DIR. Bar
rett emphatically denied that he had at
tended the Williams caucus. He knew
nothing in advance OF the plans Of Rev.
Mr.. Williams supporters. He had no oon-
ference either with them or the Gailor men.
To only QUE Individual did he say for whom
be Intended to vote. That person was q. d.
Harrison Of the standing committee.
WHEN HE MADE UP HIS MIND.
Only an hour before the election did he
determine to nominate Chancellor Gailor.
He had expressed In public the belief that
Chancellor Gailor was a ritualist. At 4
o'clock on the afternoon when the election
took place he become convinced that such
was not the case. and felt called upon TO
exhibit that conviction. Therefore, an hour
later be nominated Chancellor Gailor. II
Rev. Mr.. Williams friends had counted on
his support he did not understand why they
had not spoken to him in regard to the
matter.

Australia of the Future.

I confess that when 1 consider this
charming young nation, with its romantic
past and its most attractive future pros
poets, I feel a little thrill comparable to that
with which watched the fortunes of the
water in its Wentworth valley; so full Of
surprises must it's life be-so splendid in
its ventures, in it's fearlessness, in it's joy
GUS seeking of dangers, in its bold plunges
into midair. in its enjoyment of the calm
prosperity of peaceful moments, and in its
ceaseless progress to new adventures and
conflicts. Its future is hidden, like the
stream in the forests at the bottom Of the
gorge, but the sea is far away still for the
young mountain torrent; and the long
course is full of fair scenes and great ex-
periences.
Australia will not be one of the happy
countries without q history, but will sure
ly know, in Carlyle's sense of the word,
the f'blessedness" of having history Its
varied and progressive population, it's con
trasts of climate, its relations to Asia, its
important position in the Pacific, it's vast
resources and its social progressiveness all
unite to assure it Of very significant
place in the future tale of civilization.--
Professor Royce in Scribner's.
