reached at the meeting to-day, in accord
aace with the prediction made IN these dis
patches The voice Of Secretary Foster
was decisive in favor of 4 rate OF per
per cent. and against any dangerous expert
meats II lower rate. The secretary
URGED that il was Of supreme Importance to

the rate Of per cent was lower than any
former Dan made 10y the government, the
political crc,tit of making II EOuld be as
great a. though il were made al small
fraction less. The secretary felt that 4
lower rate might result in the presentation
Of D goou many 80 the bonds for redemD-
ton under the cal of June =. and that the
banks would not purchase them as basis
for creased circulation.

that with he rate az : per cent some SD,

cent rate as the safest. and he announced at
the meeting to-day That he had not changed
his opinion. He gave surh good reasons for

mously decided the rate should be what he
suggested. The language of The notice 10

WELLS DRY UP.
A Number of Artesian Wells IN the City
of New Orleans stop
Flowing.
Special TO the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
NV ORLEANS. La. July 3.-The artesianc
wells of this city are rapidly going dry.
Yesterday the Howard well in Lafayette
square, the first constructed here, and
which has been steadily flowing for six
years, suddenly ceased and has not since
resumed. Three other artesian wells IN
the vicinity have followed suit. while
dozen others. among them the largest in the
city. have been materially reducing their
output, and threaten to cease flowing alto
gether at an early day. The distress seems
TO be general, and indicates that for some
reason or other the arteSian well water sup
ply has been exhausted or disappeared.
The wells are sunk from $50 TO 1000
feet and have in all instances heretofore,
furnished an abundant supply of water
which has been largely used for drinking
and manufacturing purposes. some sixty
have been sunk here. and they have been
SO thoroughly successful as TO create the
hope that New Orleans would be able in
this way to correct its very defective water
supply. The city council decided some
weeks ago to sink number of public arte-
sian wells in the rear of the city hal, for the
benefit of the people OF that section. and the
sanitary association was sinking number
in front for the purpose of esta Dlishing pub
lie baths and to flush and wash the streets
and cutters, while a number OF others were
TO be sunk for factories, etc. The sudden
drying up of the wells here will probably
prevent any more being constructed for the
present No reason can be assigned for the
exhaustion of the water. Lately some of
the owners OF the wells have adopted new
system of attaching pumps to them by
which the flow from them is greatly in
creased and this may have exhausted the
strata of water so suddenly. .,,ssxz5s

Let IL Die.

Harold Frederic, free trader writing
from London to free trade paper, the
New York Times, says that the Golden
Club is SO much discouraged with the
free trade outlook that the annual fish
dinner at Greenwich was omitted this
year. He predicts that the club will go
to pieces in few years. "The truth, /"
admits Mr.. Frederic, sis that the clubs
mission seems to have ended. Tt was
founded in the first flush of the triumph
of political economy over stupidity and
ignorance in England by men who fondly
believed that the rest of the world was
open to conviction by argument, as the
English had shown themselves to be-
They were going SO to spread the light
that soon all mankind would abandon
those twin relics of medieval barbarism,
tariffs and wars. The dream was lofty,
but it cruelty failed of realization. Four
great wars have convulsed Europe since
the formation of the club, and tariff walls
are being reared higher than ever, and
standing armies are in preparation for
still vaster conflicts" The colony of
British reformers can learn none too
soon that they cannot control the world,

IN THE EAST.

THE ballot reform bill has passed the
Pennsylvania legislature and now goes
to the governor for his signature.
THE government has decided to ex-
tend the ~ per cent loan at 2 per cent.
and give the holders of those bonds the
necessary ninety days notice.
THE United States supreme court dur
ing it's last term completely smashed the
high record of cases disposed of at one
term of court, settling GIT cases, against
470 which has heretofore been the
largest number passed upon at single
term.
THE general synod of the Reformed
Presbyterian church has reaffirmed the
position of that body that ministers of
that creed are not to be permitted to
vote at the elections of the country. The
decision was not made until after a
heated discussion, but the final vote was
100 to 16. Several members of the lib
eral minority prophesy division of the
church as result of this decision.
Rev. DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT preached a
sermon at Plymouth church on 'sThe
Two Theologies, which may place him
on the list with DIR. Briggs. He charac-
terized the old as belief that God was
outside of man, the new that he was in
man. He denied that the bible was
either inherant or infallible. It was
mixture of the human and divine and its
glory was that 1t showed God and man
to be essential in nature. He found no
fault with the old and was sorry that
some others did It was step to the
temple. Still, while he honored the
steps and was glad to have traversed
them, he was unhesitating in his avowal
that he would not bring them back.
FOLLOWING the decision In the
supreme court in the ssoriginal package"
case an interesting circular has been
issued to the collectors of customs
from the commissioner Of internal
revenue, Mason. The commissioner
states that he. has received many letters
from the people opposed to the liquor
traffic, stating that in many parts of
the country retail liquor dealers claim
TO hold government license to sell
liquor and defy the local or state pro-
hibitory laws. The commissioner saws
the belief is evidently current that the
United States licenses liquor selling, and
adds that once for all his Office wishes it
understood the government does not
license liquor selling of whatever de-
scription, and only puts Q yearly tax on
liquor sellers, and does not seek to in
terfere in the prohibition districts.
By an Overwhelming vote the Presby-
terrain general assembly decided to veto

Protection to the Paper Trade.

Hon. Warner Miller, himself large
paper manufacturer, hence reliable
authority, in letter reviewing the pros
poets of trade with South America, said:
81 believe the time has come when the
paper manufacturers of the United
States can reach out and supply the
whole of Mexico, Central America and
South America with the bulk of the pa
per used in those countries. We are
to-day shipping some news paper to
England, and large quantities of it to
Australia, in direct competition with the
manufacturers of Europe, and we are
doing this successfully. If the Con-
gresslonal bill giving aid to steamship
lines shall be successful In starting q
number of new lines which shall reach
South American ports, feel very sure
that our trade will go into those coun-
tries and secure very profitable and
large business"
Tt is certainly tribute to protection
that one of our most consistently pro-
tected industries should thus gain a.
position whore it's products can success
fully enter the worlds markets.
