prising dealer in china, glassware, lamps,
ETC.; also tea, coffee and spices at $40
State street, has made decided hit in his
last project. Within few days he adver-
tised to give bicycles, velocipedes and tri;
in selling certain amount sof tea. The
result has been that hundreds of ''the boys

The Fourth Assembly.

The fourth of the series Of delightful as
semblies of the season was held at Warner
hall last evening and Notwithstanding the
weather, was well attended and as thor
oughly enjoyed as any of it's predecessors.
1t was the general impression that last
evenings would be the final assembly for
the season, but owing to the great success
achieved another will probably be held.

WAR PROBABLE IN THE FALL.
Prospects of Russia and Bulgaria Meeting
With Clash OF Arms.


BERLIN. April PA high official is quoted
as saying that there is no danger TO the peace
of Europe during the summer, but, that the
Russians will almost certainly move on
Bulgaria in the latter part of autumn,
without attacking either Germany or Aus
tria; but leaving il to those powers 20 inter-
fere il they see it, such interference TO be met
by France and Russia Jointly, and that in such
event the contestants would be Russia, France,
Roumspia and Servis against Germany. Aus
tria, Italy and Bulgaria The high official
thought that Turkeys attitude would be
doubtful.
A Vienna dispatch says that Minister SIAM
bnloff Of Bulgaria is resolved 10 force the hand
of Russia by attack on Servia, and that .
rupture between the two states is probable in
which case Prince Alexander would be invited
TO assist Prince Ferdinand in maintaining his
throne. The Servians understand StambuloffHs
purpose, and do not like it, as their army is not
equipped as well as the bulgarian, but will be
later in the year.
The kaiser has emphasized the semi -officiA
assertion of friendly feeling between Germany
and Russia by ordering three regiments Of in
fantry and one Of the cavalry TO reinforce the
troops on the Silesian frontier. He il also
sparing no effort TO secure the early compile
ton Of the new strategical railways intended
for the rapid concentration Of troops near the
Russian frontier.

SECRETARY FOSTERS PLANS.
How to Increase the Available Assets of the
Treasury by Subsidiary Silver.

How to Increase the Available Assets Of the
Treasury by Subsidiary Silver.
Secretary Foster has decided upon a line of
policy to increase the available assets of tie
treasury and al the same time place the sub.
sidiary silver now in the treasury in circula.
ton. The plan is to exchange With national
bank repositories silver half dollars for cur
rency. There are now two hundred ma
tional bank repositories, holding $24, o00, 600
in currency. In the treasury there Is today
100000 in silver half dollars This frac-
tional silver is unavailable for current bust
ness. The net surplus is less than $l2, OOO, 900,
and the current receipts are not
more than keeping pace with the
daily expenses. Within q month the
Treasury Department will be called upon
to make the quarterly payment on account Of
pensions-about $4,000 000-with only about
2,0o0. 900 to meet it. The currency held by
the national bank repositories il transferred to
the treasury would make the available surplus
$50, 000, 600 instead of sl2,000, 00o II is not
Secretary Fosters intention, however, TO with
draw at one time from the banks all the cur
rency now in them and replace it with silver
half dollars. but to do it gradually, as the needs
OF the department may demand. In
connection with this plan Secretary
tional bank repositories to have SI.I5 for
81 in 4 per cent bonds instead of 81 10. as at
present, provided they take the difference in
silver half dollars. This will place at once
81, ZOO, 900 subsidiary silver coin in circulation
Treasury Department officials are now prepar-
ing to carry out in all its details the general
proposition as above outlined.

Mr. Cleveland Does Not Indorse TIE
stephens Silver Interview.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Ex-Prssident Clevs-
land was asked today by a reporter IL Mr..
Stephens version Of his conversation with
Mr.. Cleveland, and his statement OF the lat
ter's views on the silver question were correctly
reported. Mr.. Cleveland said; II have Just
read the report. Is seems 10 me, from
my reading of it, that it has been generally
embellished, and expressions are put into my
mouth that were never uttered by me, but are
the expressions used by another gentleman who
was present. While some of the opinions may
be regarded as partly my views upon the sub
feet Of silver coinage, yet there are 30 many
other expressions credited 70 me that il would
require considerable wedding out before the
supposed conversation could be strictly
termed an accurate report.
II see a good many people and Mr.. Stephens
came to me rs q visitor from distant stste.
desired 10 treat him courteously, bur il il
scarcely fair treatment 10 me that he should
run of to a newspaper Office, report my sup
posed utterances and place me in the position
Of being interviewed by several Newspaper men
upon the strength OF a garbied and embeiiished
report"
The above was read over 10 Mr.. Cleveland by
the reporter and the e1-President said: That's
about right"
