LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The representative
Of the Associated Press has had inter
views with Rothschilds, speyers, Lazard
Bros, and other bankers, and they all
agreed in their statements that further
large shipments of gold are going to
America. The Rothschilds despatched
m additional 100000 pounds to-day.
The chief clerk Of this house said that
it was uncertain whether France would
make the bulk of the gold export or
whether the burden would fall on Eng
land. But considering the fact that
France has worse harvest than Eng
land, it would seem that che should send
the bulk Of the gold. The Bank Of
France may, however, US on former oc-
casions, obstruct the exports by raising
the premium on full weight coin.
In an interview with Mr.. Robert Gif-
fen, head OF the commercial department
and comptroller OF coin returns Of the
British Board OF Trade, was asked what
truth there was in the calculation that
England and the continent would be
forced to part with gold amounting to
EG0,00000O to pay for the imports OF
American grain. Mr.. Gifien ridiculed
the estimate. He said that before 49,
100000 pounds in bullion was sent to
America both the Bank OF England and
the Bank Of France would raise their
rates OF discount and check the drain.
According to Mr.. Giffen, not bullion, but
securities and exports will go to Ameri-
ca to pay for grain. Undoubtedly, he
said, there would be heavy drain of
gold for several months TO come, but the
payments for grain were not the whole
cause of such drain. An important fac
tor in the financial situation was the sill
yer question. Stable American houses,
he declared, were making preparations
to face a silver crisis, which is now in
evitable by making gold purchases in
Europe.
When asked If such crisis was in
evitable, Mr.. Gitfen replied:
"In my opinion it is impossible to
avert 1t. The United States has become
overloaded with paper currency. The
issue OF silver certificates to the amount
of 100000 pounds sterling annually
was gross legislative mistake and is
bound to bring crash speedily"
In response to an inquiry as to how
soon the crash he predicted could be
looked for, Mr.. Gitfen said:
February will probably realize the
worst OF the position. do not see how
grave trouble can be averted byremedial
legislation. There is hardly time to
avert it even il the two parties in Con-
gress could agree on the means"

BosToN, MASS, Sept. 23.-The second
day Of the searles will case opened with
big crowd present in the court room.
The examination Of Mr.. searles was con.
tinued by Mr.. Burley. Witness and his
wife went to Europe November 20, 1887
on wedding tour. Previous to start
ing on the wedding tour Mrs. Searles Sc
cured the funds, about 100000. The
trip was for six months, and included
witness, his wife, a lady's maid, Martha
Epping and Rev. DIR. Clapp, his wife
and daughter. Did not meet DR.. slade
or any spiritualists on that trip. Knew,
Charles Bolles who, he believed, called
himself harmony scholar, or Christian
Scientist, but he never knew OF his at
tending Mrs, searles, either before or
after the marriage; returned from Eu-
rope June s, 1883. Timothy Hopkins
managed Mrs. Searles affairs up to the,
time OF the partnership.
After the marriage, while in Europe,
witness's wife had made over to him
certain deeds at Nice. The suggestion
of the co-partnership came from Mrs.
Searles.
Articles OF co-partnership were hero
put in between Mary F. Searles, Ed
ward F. searles, Thomas E. Stillman
and Thomas Hubbard, to manage all
the property Of the Searles and pay tho
income, the parties, Mr.. and Mrs.
Searles to receive IS per cent
each, and Stillman and Hubbard
each per cent the income
II it did not amount to S650,000
to be brought up to that amount by the
sale OF securities. Mrs. Hopkins became
acquainted with stillman and Hubbard
about year before the marriage, and
on October 81, 1887, Mr.. stillman was
given power OF attorneyfrom Mr., Searles
and Mrs. Hopkins. There was also
general power OF attorney from Mrs.
Hopkins TO Stiilman and Hubbard dated
November 8, 1887. This was the same
date as the marriage, with a supple
mentary certihcation after the marriage.
This was never revoked to the knowl-
edge OF witness.

The Land ohlco at Guthrie Surrounded byt
Great Crowds of Boomers-ono Town
opCned-Reports Of Trouble Exagger-'
ated. ,
GurnRlr, o. T., Sept. 2S.-The excite
ment is subsiding. In front of the land
office there is a large crowd waiting to
file claims. Fully 1000 people were in
line when the Office was opened this
morning, and when the door was opened
the crowd made rush, and for while
it looked as ii there would be riot.
Several men were showed off the small
porch leading to the door and many re-
volvers were flashed in the air. The
police, however, took a hand in the
affair and further disturbance.
This evening Mayor Spangler sta
toned an officer at the door Of the
land office who issued numbered tick
cts to those who desired to file, and In
the morning the numbers OF these
tickets will be called out, and in this
way further camping out all night in
front of the Office will be avoided. On
the train which came in last night
about $50 moro people arrived. The
conductor said that all OF the roads !
leading to this city were filled with /,
wagons, horsemen and pedestrians
headed this way.
The report circulated last night that
several persons had been killed yester-
day can not be verified to-day. There
was some trouble at the Iowa village
over valuable claim known as tho
Pecan grove. An old negro ran his
team nine miles in 4S minutes and ar
rived ahead of q man who attempted to
drive him of. The negro showed fight
and downed the man with hatchet.
The man received q very severe wound
on the head, but will recover. Gov.
Steele started from Tecumseh for
Chandler this morning to open tho
town site tomorrow. The soldiers
have Chandler under military rule and
will not allow any one to approach
nearer than 80 feet.
The negro colonists were not very
successful in the rush. A few OF them
got good Claims but in majority OF the
cases a white man will contest the
claim.
Three or four negroes would settle on
n claim and will prove up forty acres
each, but the" white men all want
100. A courier from Tecumseh, -'the
town site Of the lower county seat,
states that the site was proclaimed open
to settlement at noon to-day by Gov
ernor Steele. Two thousand people
rushed in and claimed lots. There had
been no disturbance when the courier
left.

enoe OF Thousands.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. pa grand
ovation was rendered Hon. Roger @.
Mills at the city hall tonight, which
was filed to overhowing. A large
number OF Republicans were present,
among whom was ex-speaker OF the
House OF Representatives ]. Warren
Mr.. Mills almost entirely ignored the
free silver question. He, however,
gave free silver blow by saying there
Is but one issue before the people, "the
question Of taxation" He said: ''Iast
years importations amounted to $780,
100000, the duty on the same amount
ing to $220, 600, making total cost
TO Americans Of 500, 900, 900, thus show
ing that the consumer paid this tax"
He asserted that high tariff made
low wages and low tariff vice versa j
that the tariff throttled agriculture and
was sowing the seeds Of monarchy. He
said the poorness OF the Republican
argument was shown in their efforts to
lower the price OF sugar by taking the
tax off and lowering tho price Of tin by
putting 1t on. Hook for the millennium,
said he, when the ports Of the United
States are thrown open and our flags
are seen in every foreign port. The
agriculture will be quickened by reason
OF an increased demand. On the theory
that expectations will always equal i'm
portations, more people would be em.
ployed, and as the farm is the base Of
all prosperity everything would pros
per.

Great ProteotiOnIst-Tho Greatest Out
pouring of Republicans Since Grants
visit to the State.
orruMwA, Iowa, Sept. 2S.-Thero was
the greatest outpouriRg Of Republicans
to greet Mckinley at the coal palace to-
day since Grants last visit to the State.
Fully $4,000 people were on the streets
during the monster procession, and the
entire marching force, numbering thou
sands, carried corn stalks, canes, and
wore American tin plate Ohio badges.
Mckinley was everywhere wildly
cheered, and the coal palace, capable
OF seating 5000, was not large enough
to accommodate the crowd.
Major Mckinley spoke two hours on
tariff and silver, reiterating much
the same argument as in his campaign.
He was continuously applauded. After
the coal palace speech Major Mckinley
made a short address on stand near
the park. In the evening a Republican
camp fire was held in the palace and a
monster reception rendered Mckinley.
One of the significant inscriptions on
the banners in the parade was "GOv-
ernor Mckinley will be President"

Mr.. Wright believes 1t possible to
properly restrict divorce and while thus
restricting Il he would make marriage
more difficult by making the guilty
party to indiscreet and hasty unions
amendable to criminal law. Then the
law should be changed so that the State

that would punish the innocent and

public, that Professor Winscied, Of
Ieipsic, who belongs to one OF the most
noted Catholic families Of that

self would have created-a sensation
In religious circles, but its effect upon
Catholics may be imagined when It is
coupled with the statement that the
professor attributes the change in his
religious views to his disbelief in the
authenticity Of the garment known as
the holy coat which is now on exhibi-
ton at Treves, and his conscientious
scruples against supporting church
that would lend its sanction to such an
exhibition.
