Maurice Hoefich's suicide after eight

and other civil laws. He was inaugurated
President September 1s, 1886, for term
which expires September Is, 1891.
In the beginning of President Balmaceda's
administration he fulfilled in measure the
liberal tenets of his early career. The public
revenues were increased and the cause OF
popular education advanced. But soon his
policy changed and he showed a disposition to
go to unexampled lengths in centralizing the
power of the Government, controlling legisla
tion, and in manipulating the entire electoral
system so as to dictate and control the
Presidential succession. The active oppos-
ton of the whole reform party of Chilli was
aroused and the result was civil war, which
has been carried on with varying success of
both parties, until the final defeat of
Balmaceda's army by Colonel Canto and the
surrender of Santiago, the capital of Chilli to
the Congressional party.

There Is a decided improvement manifested
in the local stock market, and the attendance
of members at the Exchange is more than
double what it was few weeks ago. Quite
number of the leading operators have re-
turned to the city, and the conviction is gen
eral that the summer dullness, now drawing
to close, Will soon give place to the fall
activity The gloomy forebodings voiced by in
fuential financers in the early summer have
been relegated to oblivion, and opinions
Numerically opposite are freely expressed.
Instead of predictions of bankruptcy in the
West, the sentiment was expressed by finan-
c1er by no means optimistic in his inclinations
that that highly favored section would, as
result Of this years prosperity, realize money
enough to pay back to the East all the money
1t owes. There is no longer any appre-
hension regarding tight money and
the conviction is becoming general that there
will soon be plethora of oney in the banks
seeking employment Some of the leading
banks report larger deposits than have ever
before been recorded, and it is believed the
institutions which have been afraid to put
their money out will soon be complaining
that borrowers are few. The small offerings
OF good securities on the Exchange have
tendency to limit transactions, and the bulk
of last weeks business was done by opera
tors enterprising enough to pick up bargains
offered during the dull season.
The recent improvement in che New York
stock market, the natural outgrowth of the
bountiful harvests with which the land has
been blessed, has served to remove almost
entirely the apprehension of financial disaster
which was so general a few months ago. The
movement of gold from Europe, which has
already commenced to the extent of Sc, 800, 900
during the past week, gives confidence that
the whole S75,000,000 and more exported
within the past year will soon be on its way
to tins country Although the time for the
heaviest shipment of currency to the West is
at hand the New York bank statement for
the past week is not at all unfavorable.

PROFESSOR sPENCER's DEATH.

Educational Circles.

EuucaClOnaA Circles.
The unexpected death last Sunday even
ing of Professor Henry G. Spencer, of the
Spencerian Business College, was a shock
to this community, in which he was
so well known and highly respected. The
deceased has been suffering for some months
with persistent attack of malaria. During
the summer he was an active worker at Glen
Echo. He returned to the city several weeks
ago and became worse, but even then fatal
ending was not anticipated. The immediate
cause of his death was conjestive chill.
During his residence of many years in this
city Mr.. Spencer was one of the most public
spirited citizens in it. He was connected with
all educational movements and was deeply
interested in many of the charitable organiza-
tions of the District
Professor Spencer came here to assist in the
founding OF the Spencerian Business College,
which he became proprietor of in 1859. His
wife's maiden name was Miss j. Andrews,
and she, with their two sons, Leonard Gar
field and Henry G. Spencer, jr., survive him.
