THE FLOW OF CON TO RUSSIA.

The public does not share the uneOncern
with which Mr.. Jesse Sellgman Of New
York affects to view the continued drain of
gold from this country TO Europe. The
United States has gold enough to spare
forty millions in five months; il is not that
which creates anxiety. In 1856 our exports
Of coin and bullion amounted TO nearly $751;
600, coo; in 1875 they were $50, 500. 600, aud in
1864 over 100000, COO What imparts gravity
10 the present situation is the fact that the
gold is lot going out in obedience to a le-
climate commercial demand, but is moving
in defiance OF the rate OF exchange.
Financial affairs in Russia are generally
assumed by European writer's to be the key
70 the situation. For two or three years
Russia has been converting her old loans
into new issues. During the year 1890, and
in January, 1891, new Russian bonds to the
amount OF $3.50, Geo were tloated in the
markets Of London, Paris Frankfort. Am
sterdam and Berlin, mainly for the redemp-
iIon OF bonds winch were approaching their
maturity. 1t was stated in February that
the sale of these bonds left a cash balance to
the credit of Russia In the hands Of her
bankers of not less than S100, 100000. On
the top of this the Russian Minister of FL
nance advertised a new loan of S1O0,OO0,OO
aud the ROthschilds and others agreed to
take il But in March and April Russia be-
gan to draw out her deposits from the banks
which held them. BY the end of May those
deposits, which had been swelled to about
S1l0, ZOO coo by an influx of money from yari-
Gus sources, were reduced to about S90.000,-
900, the money being Withdrawn chiefly from
London, Paris and Amsterdam, and lodged
in the Imperial Bank of Russia and the
Treasury itself. This alarmed the bankers
and under the lead Of the Rothschilds they
withdrew their agreement to take the $780,
000,000 loan. Irritated at their behaviour
the Russian Government gave orders to con-
tinue the withdrawal Of its deposits A
couple of weeks ago these still amounted to
nearly S90,00000O Of which over half was
in the hands Of the ROthschiIds.
1t is TO fortily against a continued with
drawa that the great banking house, acting
in concert with the Bank of England, has
been drawing gold from this country at a
small loss on every coin shipped. The
R0thschilds have resources which the Bar
ings had not. Russia will get every dollar
that belongs to her, though London has TO
pay thrice the present premium for gold,
and for some time to come New York can
stand a drain OF three or four millions a
week without serious monetary disturbance.
1t is inferred by some observers that Rus
sia's object in accommodating coin at ST.

the facts the better for them. Let US know
exactly what the farmer receives for his
grain and what he pays for the clothes, gro
ceries and other things he has to buy. Let
these prices be compared honestly with the
prices prevailing under so-called revenue
tariffs. Let Us get at the actual cost Of pro-
duction and actual prices received, that the
net profit at the present time may be COM
pared with the net profit at any former
period. There are few general facts that
cannot be ignored. The savings banks show
that the bulk of deposits is greater, and
more rapidly increasing, than at ally former
period. The amount of deposits divided by
the number of depositors shows that COM
paratiyely poor men own the bulk Of the
deposits. The Senate committee will have
to reconcile any conclusion it may arrive at
that the laborer is worse off under pro-
lection than under free trade with the fact
that he has more money and is aceumulat-
ing money faster under protection than I'M
der free trade

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY.

Another movement is about to be inaugu-
rated for the recovery of the EIgin marbles
by Greece. The reader, Of course, Temem-
beers that these priceless works Of statuaTy
and sculpture were taken from Athens by
Lord Elgin, under a frman from the Porte,
at which court he was ambassador His
excuse was that the noble works of ancient
Greek sculpture, which were to be found in
the ruins Of Athens, were being mutlated
and destroyed by ignorant Turks, and that
it would be best for the cause Of art to Te-
move them to England. The Greeks Oh
jected, as we'll they might. But Greece was
q that time a province Of Turkey, and LGTd
Eigin. with the help of the Sultan's frman,
removed everything that was movable from
ancient Athens, IN spite of the indignautprO-
tests Of Lord Byron and others, who were
preiudiced against robbery. he sold his
plumber for about $4,000 to the British Mu-
scum, where it is 10 be seen 10 this day.
When Greece regained her independence
she reclaimed her marbles, but was 10th to
present peremptory demand to nation
which had done so much for her as England
did at Navarino. Since then the demand
has been renewed from time to time, but
England has always met it with refusal.
1t has always been a doctrine of English
jurisp IudeDce that possession is nine points
of the law,
The right of one nation to seize and keep
the art treasures Of another nation was dis
cussed at tie fall Of NAPOLEON in France.
In the course Of his campaigns he had made
no scruple TO lay hands on the masterpieces
Of art which ne had run across in Italy,
Germany and Spain, and had lodged them
in the Louvre. When he was overthrow
the original owners reclaimed their prop
erty and in most cases they got it. at that
time France was in no condition to argue
points Of law with the allies. She feebly
protested that it would serve the cause Of
art to make Paris the great receptacle of the
art treasures OF the world. But Rome and
Florence and Dresden were not disposed to
strip themselves TO clothe French city, and
some of tile most striking glories of the
Louvre were restored.
1t would undoubtedly be best for art to
gather all its triumphs in one place, where
the student could prosecute his studies TO
finish without travelling elsewhere. But no
city with any pTetensiOns would consent to
rule itself out of the show places Of the
world. There are little towns in Italy
which the traveller visits to see one picture
OF one statue; it would be a convenience if
they were all collected at Rome but the
people of the little cities would fly to arms
rather than let them 90

A NEW LINE OF INQUIRY.

Senator Carlisle is Chairman of a Senate
committee which is in New York locking
after the workings Of the new tariff. He
iDfoNns reporter OF a free trade paper
that the committee are pursuing a new line
Of inquiry which will prepare it at the be-
ginning Of Tie next session to lay informa-
ton before the Senate which will enable
that body to zeal intelligently with the sub
ject. The new line of inquiry is in the di-
rection of exactness both in tie designation
Of articles that enter into general consump-
ton, and Of The classification Of labOrers
The object cf the Senate committee is &c
know that when prices are discussed the
man in Boston and the man in st. Louis are
talking about the same thing. The commit
tee would also classify laborers in such a
way that the man who runs an elevator en-
CINE shall not be put in the same category as
the man who has charge of the grand mo-
tive power Of an ocean steamship. a third
change in the method Of inquiry will be to
substitute retail prices as a basis of CON-
parison for wholesale prices. The commit
tee viii endeavor TO find out what the pro-
ducer receives for an article and what the
consumer pays for an article. The pro-
teclionists have nothing to fear from this
new line Of inquiry. Tbe closer they get 10

A SWIFT YACHT.
The HaIcyon Supposed TO Be Engaged in
Smuggling opium.

The HaIcyon Supposed TO BE Engaged in
Smuggling opium.
According to reports the opium-laden
yacht Halcyon is by far the fastest vessel of
her class afloat and worthy of the honor to
defend the Americas cup against all corners.
Seventeen knots an hour is what she is given
credit for in any wind at all. Such a speed
is, to say the least, absurd, as the best ever
done by the famous racer Volunteer was
only 13l2 knots and she is twice the size of
the HacyOn.
The story of her wonderful speed no
doubt arose from the fact that few days
after she was seen of Hon Olulu she was re-
ported off the coast Of Vancouver, but
there is no doubt that the vessel seen up
no nth was a sealer, as the HalcyOn is still
supposed TO be lowering around the Hawaiian
Islands trying 10 land her unlawful cargo.

Petersburg is to prepare for war. But 1t
may be nothing more than apart of the new
policy of Russia to make herself indepen-
dent of the foreign world. Some years ago
the foreign trade of Russia was Injured by the
adoption of what we should call know
nothing policy, which was designed to drive
foreigners out of Russia and to prevent their
embarking in business in that empire. To
such an extent was this carried that Ameri-
cans were not allowed 20 compete for con-
tracts on the new Siberian railroad. In fact,
foreigners generally were put on nearly.the
same footing as the Jews, and the soil of
Russia was reserved to the pure and unde-
filed MuScovite. Such policy as this
would naturally embrace as one Of its COM
ponent pats the withdrawal Of Russian
money from foreign banks.

The Water Committee of the Board of
Supervisors decided on Saturday to recon-

right to lay pipes for water supply in the
district bounded by Sixteenth. Thrtieth,
Castro and Stanyan streets. That right is
given by the constitution to any one who
chooses to act upon it, but Mr.. JooSt

he has solved the problem OF eternal and

HABEAS CORPUS.

The -Four Japanese Cases Dismissed by
Commissioner Houghton.
The habea5-corpus eases Of the four Jap
anese women denied landing by the Com
missioner of Immigration, w. II. Thornley,.
were decided Saturday by Commissioner
Houghton, who dismissed the writs under
clause in the new law which says that a de-
NAL of the right to land shall be final unless
an appeal is taken to the Superintendent of
immigration, whose action shall be subject
to review by the Secretary of the Treasury;
consequently the Commissioner had no
jurisdiction Of the subject matter.
The women are now in the Methodist
Mission, where they will be kept until the
next outgoing steamer can take them away.

YEAR.
Gross Earnings. Net Earnings.

This is a good showing. More than six
millions remained last year after paving or
binary expenses for the payment of interest
on IS bonded Indebtedness. The Directors
anticipate that the earnings next year will
pay per cent en- its bonds, thus relieving
the Government from liability on account of
its guarantee. The weak point 10 the con-
diIion Of the road is its dependence on a
foreign traffic that may be cut off. The
excessive liberality of the United States
Government in permitting the Canadian
road TO compete with 4 meTiean roads with
out submitting to American laws governing
rates has enabled the Canadian road to
make money. 1t Is not known how much
longer this excessive liberality will be con-
tinued. The Treasury Department has not
yet issued the order suspending the bonding
privilege that was talked of. The Canadian
Pacific can take merchandise in San Fran
cisco or Portland and land it in Chicago,
New York or Boston without being sub :
jected to expense or inconvenience ON &C
count of its route through a foreign coun-
try. The navigation laws would not allow
a British ship to carry merchandise from
one American port to another but the pro-
visions Of treaty grant privileges to the
Canadian Pacific which foreign ships do not
pOsse-S. In view Of the fact that the Cana
dian Pacific holds the traffic which makes
its existence profitable at the pleasure of
the American Government, il is little odd
that we can get no concessions from Can
ada. a considerable part of the earnings
OF the Canadian road for the last four years
las been derived from the transportation of
Chinese arriving at British Columbian
ports to points along the route convenient to
the American line. The Canadian Govern
mcnt pockets the $50 head tax on Chinese,
transports them as far as they desire to go,
lands them at points they select, knowing
that their object is to get into The United
States, and knowing also that their en-
trance at United States ports is prohibited.
