Editor Macune.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June &C. W. Macune,
editor of the National Economist, the Farm
er's Alliance organ, did not seem much
disturbed on reading the attack upon him
by the Nashville American.
LAS to my being a tool of Pat Calhoun
and working in his interest for the United
States senatorship for a monetary consid-
Grafton, that is all false. The charges We're
fully met and proved false by committee
of twenty-siX, at the Ocala convention.
That committee, with the single exception
of Hall of Missouri was unanimous in its
report that there was no foundation for the
assertion. The work of the committee was
secret and the evidence produced before it
1 am not at liberty to disclose. The clique of
which Hall is the head, know very well that
I cannot say anything about the secret in
vestigation, as it would be reflection on
the committee, therefore they keep harping
away ON the old story. 1t is doing no good.
l have the support Of the Alliance and the
consciousness of having done nothing to
invite criticism. / want to say that / am
not politician nor az Office seeker. am
an Alliance man and as such amenable to the
organization alone. If l have done any
thing requiring trial, the proper place to
have charges brought is in the Alliance.
The statement made in the American that
the committee of twenty-siX made two re-
ports is false, as are all the general charges
made. l cannot go into detail as that would
be disclosing what has been done in secret
session ;,

Upward Movement Expected.

Special 10 the Gazette.
New YORK June 29-There were no
changes of Importance in prices at the open
ing this morning, but evidences were not
lacking that some one was absorbing stocks
at current figures. No rise in stocks ever
occurs until after some of the big operators
have loaded up. Last week prices fell to
very tempting figures, and II would not be
surprising if some big operators were now
loading up. The time is ripe for a little
turn ON the bull side of the market.
Disbursements for dividends and interest
will put out a very large sum of money,
most OF which will seek reinyestment in
stocks and bonds. Shrewd Observers look
for an upward movement at least for few
days. They think it will probably not set
i'll with much force until next week, owing
TO holiday on Saturday. But this week
is the time for big operators TO accumulate
stocks.
The fact of a holiday makes it easy for
them to accumulate without advancing the
market TO any undue extent. But 4 little
July advance is only possible on the theory
that in the meantime we shall have cessa-
v &Df gold exports. RumorS of very large
E1nents of gold to take place this week
&fsaa very uneasy feeling on the street to-
kllnts nearly all the large shippers of gold
{fived assurance that the shipments of
eek before last would complete European
Tue continuation of ship
bments to the present would seem to Indicate
that trouble has broken out in fresh spot.
Railway bonds were dull and generally
Yower Chicago gas was a weak feature.
Future gold orders for Sl,000O 900 de-
dressed the market. but in the afternoon
a rally carried prices up SO that cloSingS
were irregularly changed from Saturday.

Silver Coinage.
Special to the Gazette.

WASHINGTON June 29-It is doubted in
quarters here ordinarily weli-informed,
whether, as announced by q prominent Re
publican newspaper to-day, the administra-
lion has decided to permanently suspend
the coinage of silver. The question has
occupied a good deal of attention, and was
undoubtedly discussed at Fridays cabinet
meeting, but it was partly settled then. One
policy indicated would, it is known, be
most agreeable TO the president and to
Secretary Foster, and Senator Sherman,
upon whom both are relying for financial
suggestions, would doubtless approve 1t.
But there is so much involved, and the sit
uation is so ticklish, that a final decision on
the point will hardly be reached before
tall. There need be no hurry to decide.
The minis will be very busy coming trade
dollar bars and recoining subsidiary coin
until October AT least, and meanwhile some
neIg light may be thrown on the question.
The administration is studying the senti-
ueut of the West rs never before. and is
showing q disposition to follow Western
advice to a significant extent. Silver,
therefore, must and will be treated in gin
gerly way The West has always COM
planned when the coinage of its favorite
metal was even temporarily suspended, and
the West will be consulted before suSpen-
sion is ordered now. The bare purchase of
bullion and issuing Of silver coinage has
never satisfied the West, and if she is to be
convinced on that point it is likely to take
lifjla time

Wanamaker Writes the Committee Inves-
tigating the Keystone Bank Business
Letter-Another Letter.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 29.-Contrary
to the general impression, Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker did not appear before the
investigating committee of the council this
afternoon to explain the apparent discrep-
ancy between his previous testimony rela-
tive to his ownership of the keystone bank
stock and the facts subsequently developed
by the books of the bank. The following
letter from Wanamaker was read by Chair
man Van Osten:
PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 49,
To William B. Van Osten, Esq.
DEAR SIR-It seems to be thought that
some evidence offered at the last meeting
of your committee is not in harmony with
the testimony delivered by me when l ap
peared before you as witness. l assume
that your committee fully understand the
natter If, however, there is any infor-
nation wanted from me l will
be glad at twenty-four hours
notice to meet any member or members of
the committee and explain any and every
item of my statement or attend any meet
ing of which have notice.
JOHN WANAMAKER.
A communication was also received from
ex-City Treasurer Bardsley's counsel stat
ing that if the committee were DESTROYS of

should put it in writing and submit it to

A Charge of False Pretenses.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, Tex, June 29-J. F. McKennon
of this city sold stock of drugs the latter
part of last year to NJ. T. Nix of Alyarado,
taking in payment piece of land in Has
kell county, Tex. Nix had an abstract,
showing title to the land to be vested in
him. A few days ago Mr. A. ]. Mckay
made affidavit before justice charging
that the abstract was not what was claimed
of it, and that Nix obtained the drugs under
false pretenses. He also charged that the
deed transferring the land to McKennon is
of no value. A warrant for the arrest of
Nix was issued, but by reason of some de-
lay was never executed. This morning
Nix surrendered to Justice Gallagher, and
gave bond in the sum of $500, with T. B.
Pope and Moses Barnes of Alvarado as
sureties. All parties connected are promi-
nent, and much interest is attached.

Territory Horse Graders"

SPECTRAL 10 inc 1dZcttc-
PARIS, TEX, June 29.-Yesterday three
strangers appeared at the Manchester set
Element, in Red River county, on Red river
near the levee of this county. They were
from the Indian Territory and had a large
bunch of horses, which they seemed quite
eager to dispose of, and offered them at
such ridiculously lowprices as to cause a
suspicion that they were handling stolen
property. The constable of the precinct
was notified and went to look at them. He
discovered that one of the men was armed
and attempted to arrest him for carrying a
pistol but was resisted, and the attempt
ended in a fight between the three horse
traders and the constable and a few friends.
The man whose arrest was attempted was
seriously wounded and captured, as was
one of his companions. The other escaped.
The officer also took possession of the
horses. When the messenger who brought
the news left the names of the men had not
been learned. Deputy marshals will go
down tomorrow to investigate on the terri
tory side and trace up the horses.

OfInterest to Army Officers.

WASHINGTON, June ga question of in
terest to army officers has been presented
to Acting Secretary Grant for settlement,
involving the rights and duties OF staff Off
GERS. Maj. Gen. Howard, commanding the
division of the Atlantic, recently called
court-martial and detailed for duty men,
Der of the commissary Office stationed
within his division. The officer promptly
protested against this detail, and claimed
exemption from such duty under the regu-
lation which placed him under direct Or
ders of the secretary of war. Thus was
revived the old controversy which was one
of the causes leading to Gen. Sherman's
quarrel with the war department and re
moval of army headquarters to St Louis.
No decision has yet been given in this last
case, and it is awaited with great interest
by commissary and other staff officers. for
the reason that the exemption from liability
to court-martial service has been one of the
most attractive features of their depart
mentS.

prices. A morning journal recites facts to
show that in twelve of the last fourteen
years the prices Of stocks have advanced
after July. 1st. The following is copied
from its statistics: in twelve out of the
past fourteen years, prices advanced subse-
quent to July LIST. In the statistics following,
the average price of twenty active stocks is
taken as standard. In 1877, between June
so and October ID, there was an improve
ment of Is points. In 1878 the improvement
did not set in until August and extended to
only points on October 1. The banner year
was 1879, when there was an advance of %
points from June 30 to November Is. In
1880 the advance between the same dates
was % points. During August and Septem-
Der, 1881, there was an advance of 6 points.
During June, July and August, 1882, the
advance was 15 points. In 1883 the record
of advances was broken. In 1884 the gain
was II points in July and August. In July.
August September, October and November,
1855, the gain was 90 points. Between June
and December, 1886, the advance was 10
points. During September and October,
1887, the gain was points. Between June
and October, 1888, the advance was s
points. During August and September,
1889, the average was advanced about 5
points. The course of prices in 1890 was
downward from May 1st eliminating in
the November furry This plainly dem
onstrates that there is law in the course
of prices which it is reasonably safe to
regard in making transient Investments in
stocks.
Considerable surprise is felt at the con-
tinued exports of gold, though they are on a
reduced scale 1t is inconceivabie that,
after the extraordinary amount of cash
hquidations this country has lately made,
there can be still outstanding against us an
adverse foreign balance. We must. there
fore, regard the continued shipments as
due entirely to special causes. The princi-
pal cause appears to be that while there is
an abundance of exchange being made to
meet all necessary requirements for
remlttanceS, yet considerable por-
ton of the bills are unavaila-
BILE in consequence of the credit of the
payers having been unfavorably affected by
the prevailing financial distrust in Great
Britain on the Continent. This causes a
scarcity of negotiable exchange, and the re-
suit is that we are RENTING gold at a time
when the balance of our account with the
rest of the world is in our favor. While
this causes an unsettling drain upon our
cash resources, there is the satisfaction
that it CORRESPONDENCE augments the
amount of gold to be returned hither at
later stage.
Taking the situation as whole, regard
it as favorable to. an ultimately higher
range of prices but, at the same time, the
immediate future seems to warrant nothing
beyond moderate purchases on the raids for
small profits
