Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June S0.-Powderly, Hayes
and Devlin, the executive committee OF the
Knights of Labor, arrived in Washington
this morning to look into the trouble be-
tween th2 chief of the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing, and the seven discharged
plate-pripters. They are accompanied
by Hugh Cavanaugh, the labor leader of
Cincinnati. Cayanaugh called on Secretary
Foster this morning to pave the way Tor a
compromise and ascertain the disposition of
the secretary in the matter. He
got very little encouragement. Fos-
ter gave him to understand
that the discharged plate printers need not
entertain the idea of getting 'vindica-
tion," that he would do what he had al
ready offered to do, appoint these men to
vacancies at the foot of the roll when
vacancies occurred, but that he would not
create any vacancies for them or do any
thing else. The secretary said to
Cavanaugh, and afterwards repeated it in
an interview, that he would yield nothing
further to the demands of these men, and
called attention to the fact that the man in
whose interest chiefly the fight is being
made by the knights, is a saloonkeeper,
and under she laws Of the order has no
right to recognition by its officers. He says
that there is no indication in Ohio that
Mckinley is to be knitted by the Knights of

New YORK. June 30-Jay Gould said to a
GAZETTE reporter to-day: Gold exporta.
ton does not create a comfortable feeling
however harmless the results will be in the
end 1t is blessing in disguise, demon
strating the great wealth and financia,
strength of this country. We have lie.
lieyed the greater countries of Europe from
their endorsements and yet money here
is per cent on call and below the lega.
rate on time. We do not need gold, be Gauss
in this country it IS a reserve, a financia
backlog; nobody wants it for circulating
currency. The export of gold affects sen
tirnent more than it does active trade. IL
the fall we will supply Europe with wheat
and for it Europe will return our golG.
do not believe we shall have tight moneJ
Nearly everybody has provided for such IL
emergency And we shall realize earlier
than usual from wheat exports. Wheat has
begun to move on our Kansas lines. Money
for the winter crop will begin to arrive bJ
the time the spring crops move. i know
the stock market will advance, but whether
now or a little later do not know. Theirs
is only light pressure of stocks, but there
are some bonds for sale by people who have
taken them in liquidation of obligations.
Missouri Pacific has passed through one
of the most trying times of the past five
years better than most Western roads Its
stock is selling far below its real value.

WAsHISGToN,iJ June 30.-Don Pedro Monte,
the Gillian congressional envoy, allowed
another day to pass without l. liking his
appearance at the executive mansion or de-
partment of state. 1t now begins to ap-
pear that the mission with which Senior
Monte and his associates are charged is a
failure in so far rs their official RECOGNITION
by the United States government is con-
cerned, and it is improbable that they will
be received in any capacity either officially
or unof4icially by any executive officer of
this government. a person well versed in
diplomatic practices, thoroughly ac-
quainted with the history Of the depart
ment of state, this Afternoon said that the
reason for the adoption Of this course by
our government was broader than any of
The questions involved III the present case,
and was founded on uniform line of pre-
cedent running back TO the date of our
civil war 1t is said in diplomatic circles
that this question is founded on good policy
and tends to conserve american interests.

pre.eL MORGAN & Co. nidIL

New YORK, June 30-The Post says
Another curious development in the sler.
ling exchange market to-day made an
abrupt change in the course of stock prices.
One OF the most important exchange houses
appeared Unexpectedly in the mar
ket as large sellers of sight bills.
This depressed sterling rates al
once, and will. in all probability,
prevent furtGor export of gold this week,
especially is rem:trances for July interest
payments OF the other side are NOW about
ended. This action of Drexel, Morgan 4
Co. was not anticipated yesterday by tn
banking community because all negotiations
then pointed to 4 profit in buying rather
than selling exchange. With concessions
in rates these sales could not have beea
made at & profit, but the market is held at
present quotations, or lower than Tor ..
week. The check to the outward GOLD
movement may not prove to be permanent,
but the situation must continue to be reg
ulated in a large measure hy the attitude OF
London and Continental bankers.

the total number of these schools In the

1890 the number was 2041, decrease of
$50 This apparent decrease, it is said, is
due to some extent to the increased facil-
