What is highlands Purposs9

The announcement yesterday that Eng
lart had seized one of the ports Of the
island of Mitylene caused, it seems, good
deal of uneasiness in a number of European
capitals. The seizure was. Of course, con-
strued to mean that England had taken the
first step toward enforcing the treaty en-
tered into by the great powers which pro-
vides that the armed vessels of no nation
except Turkey shall pass through the
straits of the Dardanelles. A few weeks ago
a transport of Russia carrying armed men
passed through the Dardanelles aud the
attention of the great powers was at once
called to the fact that the treaty had been
violated. Russia, however justified her action
on the ground that the transport was not
an armed vessel within the meaning Of the
treaty. This excuse, however, does not ap-
pear to have been satisfactory. Germany
in particular was not satisfied with it. 1t
was urged that il Russia was permitted 10
send transports carrying armed men through
the straits It would not be long before abe
would claim the same privilege for her war
ships.
One Of the reasons why the great powers
did not act promptly In the matter is sup
posed to be the close relations which now
exist between France and Russia. These
two powers are understood to have some
sort Of an agreement with each other which
requires them to act together in the event
Of European war.
However, England appears to have made
movement which will require the question,
whether the treaty relative to the Darda-
nelles has been violated, to be investigated.
Mitylene belongs to Turkey, and that power
will not. of course, quietly submit to hav-
ing any part of her territory occupied by
British troops.
It is stated In our dispatches that England
seized the port in question because she de-
sires a conling station for her fleet i'll the
event that trouble grows out of the Darda-
nelles incident
1t is too early, Of course, to form any con-
clusion as to what the result of Epgland's
action will be, and additional news from
Europe relative to the reported seizure will
be waited for with intense interest.

Astor Makes His Home in EnRlan


The World announces that there are
many roasons for thinking that William
Waldorf Aston, the richest man in Amer
ica has abandoned New York altogether
and has decided to make his home in Lon
don. He has rented magnificent resi-
dence in London and has opened business
office in that city All the property in New
York which requires his personal attention
Is being sold, and the money thus obtained
is being invested either in unimproved real
estate or in such property as can be at
tended to by an agent The charities to which
Mr.. Astor has heretofore contributed so
literally are receiving no attention from
him whatever. There are many other
things which seem to show that he has de-
termined to sever his connection with this
country SO far as living here is concerned.
The members Of the Aston family made
all their money in New York and that city
is the birthplace of William Waldorf Astor.
1t seems rather remarkable therefore that
he should leave the city Of his birth where
nearly all his possessions are for a residence
| in foreign land. When he went to Lon
don some months ago and rented house ii
was said that he would return within two OIL
three years, and that his purpose in going
was to avail himself Of the libraries OF the
British capital, as he had some literary
work which he wished to do. 1t is believed
however, If the Worlds story is to bt
credited, that from the very beginning he
Intended to remain abroad permanently.
If he has abandoned his country he can
not be very proud of the fact that he is al
American. 1t can hardly be that he hope
to become an imposing figure in European
society on account of his wealth. He was
regarded as the leader of society in New
York and that ought to have been suff
cient TO satisfy his ambition for social dis
tinction. Perhaps the fact that in New Yorl
his wife is not regarded as the Mrs. Aston
has something to do with his change of resi-
dence.

Plenty of Money in New York.

The New York banks have plenty of
money. There is no doubt about that. At
the close of business hours on Saturday
they had IS, 722, IT'S in excess of legal re-
quirements On the same day Of the month
last year the amount they held was IS, 306,-
925 less than the legal requirements. They
are therefore more than $4,000, 900 better
Off than they were a year ago.
Aud money can be obtained on call In
New York at very low rate of interest,
but time loans are difficult to get. This
condition of affairs explains why there is
such stringency in the money market. The
loss of confidence caused by the Barring
Bros disaster mas not been fully restored
Bankers don't like to let their money go
where they cannotSget it Immediately if
they should need it.
They have no particular reason for think
ing they will need it, but there is an unex-
plainable something in the financial
situation which makes them extremely con-
servative. And they could not afford TO be
caught without sufficient money to meet
the demands to which they must respond as
soon as made.
A great deal more money could be used
with advantage by the banks of this city
but they cannot get it from the New York
banks. They are willing to pay the interest
demanded for time loans. but they
could not safely bind themselves TO return
the money whenever it might be called for.
Their inability to comply with this condi-
ton il what prevents them from getting all
the money they need.
The financial situation is. however, grad
ually improving. Confidence is returning,
though slowly. Unless some unforeseen
disaster occurs in the financial world it will
not be long, probably, before money will
be as plentiful as it was before the present
stringency began.

The MORNING NEWS will begin next Sun
day the publication of ian octave of sto-
ries' by brilliant novelists. There are eight
of the stories, each containing two INSTALL
ments. the title of the first story is my
Two Wives" Of which Mr.. G. R. Sims-a
favorite and successful WRITER'S the
author. 1t possesses a very original plot.
It describes the return Of an Englishman
from the colonies, after an absence Of some
years, during which time he has lived
ineoqnito, amassed a fortune and married
a wife.
He visits the family burial plot, and finds
there set forth the date of his own death
and interment. This extraordinary dis
covery leads to an inquiry.
He had been married before, but supposed
his former wife was dead. She, however,
turned up after he left the country placed
the inscription on the tomb, and married a
wealthy sutton.
There are other circumstances in the case
which further complicate matters, and the
reader will be gratifed at the satisfactory
manner in which the plot is worked out to
O pleasant conclusion.
The remaining stories of the series are va
rious in character, and are dramatic, roman
tic or sensational, as the case may be.
The stories will also be published in the
WEEKLY News.

Expecting big surprise" is the latest
constructive bull that the metropolitan
head-liner has scored. This particular
achievement belongs to the New York Re
cordsr, which seems to imagine that the
wicked democrats are about to spring some
sort of a surprise on the guileless Gotham
republicans Naturally one would suppose
that anything SO eagerly expected would
not be much of a surprise, however. But the
metropolitan reps appear to be getting trifle
ratified notwithstanding that they have
their best man up for governor. Still it
would probably be somewhat to the ad-
vantage of the republicans of that state if
they had another man who would do for a
candidate unon q ninoh.

By way of trying TO explain away the
aspersions of his alleged trading upon his
fathers official position young Mr.. Russell
Harrison simply suggested to a reporter
that he should consider who would be most
benefited by injurring him. Palapably Mr..
Harrison greatly over-rates his individual
Importance. OF course his covert illusion
was directed at Mr.. Blaine. But there is
really no reason to believe that anybody
would be greatly benefited by injuring the
Presidents son ana heir nor that the world,
the Republican party nor the government
would be in any wise disarranged nor in
coavenienced even in case he should lay
himself down and expire right away.
Happily for this great country it is not to
any considerable extent dependent upon Mr..

Apparently the Harrison cabinet is in
fair way to completely fall to pieces, if
newspaper reports be true. According to
the latest Washington rumor Attorney
General Miller is to get one of the new ap-
pelate circuit court judgeships, which will
necessitate moving Secretary Noble up
peg to fill the vacancy and then Headsman
Garrison is to be called into the control of
the interior department. Should that occur
look out for heads to PUNK into the official

prive Harrison of his trusted confidential
friend and side partner and leave the old
man pretty tolerably lonesome While
GARRISON may prove capable enough in his
peculiar republican partisan way he is
sure to develop very little sympathy for
Harrison.
