TaAT WHEAT TRUST CIRCULAR.
President Polk Says He Did Not
Sanction It officially.

Sanction 1t Officially.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-Now that it is
reported in Minnesota that the spectators
inspired the issuance of the advice to the
farmers alliancemen to hold their wheat
and other gram, etc., and President Polk
hastens to disavow the responsibility for it,
he says to-day, that while personally he ap-
proved of the advice, 1t had no official sane
tion from the alliance organization. 1t had
been sent out, while he was away, by his
private secretary Ayers, to the two houses
and newspapers on tire list of the reform
press bureau. At alliance headquarters,
here Ayers confirmed this, but said the al
lance had had nothing to do with the
100000 circulars, or with the mat
ter sent to $4,000 other news
papers. He intimated that they
were sent out by the spectators.
He said the matter was brought to Secre-
tary Muller of the Minnesota state alliance
and if there was anything wrong about it
Muller was responsible. 1t is thought that
the national alliance officers believe that the
speoulators helped to launch the matter in
Minnesota, but they will not say so pub

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY.
a Treasury Statement Showing tn

a Treasury Statement Showing the
Circulation of different Periods.
WASHINGTON, Aug. A statement has
been prepared at the treasury department
in regard to the amounts of money in cir
culation on July of the years 1860, 1865,
1885, 1889 and 1891, from which it appears
that the assertion that there has been since
the war great reduction of tue amount of
money in circulation is without foundation,
The statement is as follows:
BASIS OF THE STATEMENT.
GAN the statements furnished are made
upon precisely the same basis. The amount
of each kind of money in the country is
first stated; from that is deducted the
amount in the treasury, and the re-
mainder gives the amount in circulation.
There is nothing omitte1 from the state
meDt which should appear there except
minor coins (nickels and pennies)
and they are left out of all reports because
of the diversity in estimating the amount
Of them in use. As the amount at the pres
ent time is greater than in earlier years,
their omission will not be unfavorably criti-
cized by those who contend that there is
now a scarcity of morey.
AMOUNT IN CIRCULATION.
1.-THE amount OF money in circulation in
1860 was about |435. .000, 900, and the amount
per capita was Sl3 S5.
"ln 1865 there was s723 ,OOO, 900 in eircu-
lation, and the per capita amount was
so 81.
Twenty years later the circulation was
over 81 1892. .000, ,0O0 and the per capita was
$23 o.
"On jan l last, the amount was nearly
81 ,52q, 900, 900, with $24 10 as the per capita
allowance, the highest in the history Of the
United States.
owing to the shipments of gold TO
foreign countries there has been decline
since Jan. l, 1891, not only in the per capita
amount butin the total also; but the total
circulation on Aug l, notwithstanding the
outflow of gold, was about $l,500000, 600,
and the amount of per capita was S23 37.n

Sir GOrst Calls Attention TO the
Growth OF the Surplus.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Sir J. E. Gorst, par
liamentiary secretary for the India Office,
presented the annual Indian budget state
ment in the House of Commons
this evening. He called attention
to the continued extraordinary growth
of the surplus, which, for 1891. he
estimated as nearly double that OF 1890.
This growth was mainly due, he said. to the
alienation in exchange consequent on the
sudden initiation of the rupee by American
legislation. He announced large decrease
in the revenue from opium and steady in
crease IN the land revenue.

be set off with .abots, collarettes, and

beautiful creatures are apparently gifted
with the Protean power OF changing
their garb at will. You meet one in the
hallway and she will be clad in white
surah with real lace tumbling down the
corsage, falling over. her delicate hands
and encircling her white neck. You
take turn on the veranda and you meet
the same lady in delicious pale-blue
crepon. After dinner she will again
cross your path clad in light-blue
foulard opening on tablier OF the same
material in pink; then there were bouil-
tonnes, think you call them, running
across the tablier and the sleeves were
boullionned all the way up; and In the
evening the same Gree of modes will fit
across the parlor wearing pale pink
surah yelled with chiffon embroidered
with flower sprays in the same shade, the
cut out filled with chiffon, with real
flowers in her hair, in her hand and at
her throat"

A regiment once marched into Peri
gueux to take up quarters there, and
the whole town was out to see the sol
diers enter. The citizens crowded out
into the line of march. Drive them
back!" commanded the Colonel. Most
of the spectators shrank away. Only
one man remained immovable "a great,
white haired man, with crossed arms,
defiant mien, and q contemptuous
smile on his lips. He was the Mar
quis Marie de Sainte Maria. A Cap
tain, named Roland, tapped him on
the breast with the handle Of his sword.
Marie de Sainte-Mari snatched the
sword, snapped it over his knee, and
threw the bits IN Roland's face. A
hand-to- hand fight followed. The
Marquis was arrested and confined in
his hotel under guard of three SOL
diers. He remained there FIVE days,
and then learned that at o'clock on
the following morning the regiment,
with Captain Roland, would march
away. To get his satisfaction, he
must hunt Roland down like fox, and
he resolved to do it. Early in the
morning. he climbed up the chimney

tie Of the house of friend. He swal-
lowed glass of wine. put q chicken
bone in his pocket, got a sword and
horse, aud galloped off toward the
crossroads which the regiment must
pass on its way to Paris. He arrived
there at 5 o'clock. He dismounted,
threw off his great coat, rolled mp his
sleeves, unsheathed his sword, and
stood still in the middle of the Paris
road. The regiment marched into
sight presently, but the Marquis did
not move. It came within speaking
distance. and he still stood motionless,
sword in hand. The first line of the
regiment was but few rods away, but
the Marquis did not even turn an eye
lash. $50 far and no further" every
line in his face said. The soldiers
hesitated and halted. The Marquis
shouted one word. Roland" ~Fpr-
ward, Captain RolaDdp commanded
the Colopel, and the Captain stood be-
fore the Marquis, sword in hand. Ten
passes and the Marquis had his sword
through Roland's heart. He withdrew
it, wiped it carefully, rolled down his
sleeves, threw on his big coat, and
rode away to Perigueux.

large straw hat is trimmed with the
chiffon and flowers.
Thus far the very broad-brimmed hat

but it may come yet. The brims are
quite broad enough, however, to bring q
S owl TO the face, of those In the grand

are u .ually made OF soft, pliable straw
such as rice and leghorn-or crinoline,
easily bent up into fantast G forms, and
the garniture generally consists of bows

wings.
Dainty little lace toqreS, trimmed with
flowers, or small ulle bonnets are much
affected. The rakish Paul Jones is very
becoming to some faces, while the sailor

Wells are almost invariably worn with
hats as well as with bonnets, plain tulle
being usually chosen for the former and
fancy spotted spangled, or jeweed net
for the latter. Semi-circuar white lace
voiis are also much affected by those
who only wear the correct thing. Gray
wells are often worn by blondes of the
delicate type. A new fad, presumably
intended to take the place of the rregu-
lar spots, is the rosebud one at times
seen embroidered upon black street

A LARGE black bear entered tun-
mel in the Santa Maria mine, in Tuo-
lomne County, California, and attacked
several miners. As the men realized
their danger, which was made appar-
emit only by the dim light of their can
dies, they grasped their picks firmer
and attacked the brute. The foreman
struck the bear first and drew blood !;
this infuriated bruin and he made a
resistless charge on the men, extin-
gushing nearly all their candles and
decorating everone more or less. One
man, named Dougherty. had his scalp
torn off by one blow Of the bears paw;
others had the flesh of their arms laid
bare. The contest in the darkness
and close atmosphere lasted an hour,
when the bear was killed, more by
