ROTHSCHILDS ROBBED.
A Trusted Cashier Flies With a
Million Marks.

Million Marks.
BERLIN, April 20.-A most decided
sensation was caused on the bourse here
today by the report that Herr Jaeger.
chief cashier for the great banking
house OF the II othSchildf, at Frankfort.
was defauter. According to this re-
port Jaeger had succeeded in defraud-
ing his employers Of over 100000
marks. inquiries revealed the fact that
Jaeger has held the position OF chief
cashier for fifteen years. A partial eX-
animation of his books was made. This
has resulted ia declaration that he is
an abSconder. The examination OF the
books has not yet been concluded, aud
the exact amount of the defalcatlOn
is therefore not known. No de
NAL has been maize. however, of
the statement that it will reach 1000. 900
marks. The cashiers office is closed,
and experts have been ordered 10 eX-
anime and revise all the books OF the
bank. 1t is said in some quarters that
Jaeger has the greater part OF the stolen
money in his possession, and that under
an assumed name he IS endeayorlng to
reach foreign country, most likely the
United States. Jaeger has been miss
ing since Thursday last. No particular
attention was paid 10 his absence, now
ever, as it was thought that he was
spending the holidays with his family.
The first suspicion was aroused today
when the keys of the strong boxes were
sent tC the bank with note stating that
he had left his home.
LONDON. April 20.-At the Rothschild's
banking house in this city toIay Wis
tors were told that nothing whatever
was known by the London house of the
Jaeger affair. The greatest surprise
was expressed that such iong-tried
and presumably faithfnI surYit0r should
prove to be dishonest. The London
Rothschilds declined TO say anything
further concerning the matter until they
were informed as To the facts by the
Frankfort house.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE AS
THEY SEE IT.

That particular editorial writer on
the Minneapolis Tribune TO whom is as
signed the brain and cOnscience-racking
task Of defending what its party is
pleased to call its economic policy,
Tesurrects that mOribund Old humbug,
the "balance OF trade" theory, and en-
deaYors to convince the farmers who
may read that paper that, owing to pro-
lection, and not at all to them, we are q
billion or so dollars richer because we
have exported more goods, largely made
up of farm products, under pro1ec-
ton" than we have imported. From
1856, he says, we were going to the
financial DOw-wowS because the bal
ance of trade was against us TO the eX-
tent of half billion, while from 1876
Sc we have been drawing gold from Eu-
rOpean treasures to the amount of a
billion and half, being the bal
ance" in our favor. In other words, the
old, old gag; more imports than exports,
poverty; more exports than imports, af
fluence. If as result of selling farm
products abroad we "leyied on Eu-
ropean treasures" In those ten years
for 81, 800, 0JO,0 900 in gold, it would GER
tainly interest the farmer readers OF
that paper were this versatile writer to
tell them where all that pile of coin had
gone to, and why they have none of it
to show for their produce. Another
perpleXing fact which he might eluci-
GATE is that during the period when he
says we sent half million dollars
abroad in gold to settle the debts his
''balance" showed against us was
period which Mr.. BLAINE admits was
the most evenly prosperous of any in
our history, and that during that other
period 'under protection" while we
were being submerged by the golden
tide which flowed in on us, we have had
the seyerest and longest7continued pc
Rod of depression we have known.

EXIT LOUISIANA LOTTERY.

Nothing has interfered to prevent the
people of Louisiana from giving full
expression 10 their judgment OH the
question whether the lottery should re-
tain its footing in that state or not.
Notwithstanding the statement of its
managers that the lottery would not
ask for re-charter. it is evident from
the course taken in the parties that no
dependence was placed on the state
ment, and the contest went on to its
finish on the lines on which it was pro-
lected. Two factions in each of the
parties divided on the lottery issue
neither party was soIldly arraYed
against or in favor of it. Five state

WASHINGTON. April 2O.-Afier the
usual morning business in the senate to-
day Mr.. Sherman notified the senate that
further examination of the Chinese inn
migration question had convinced the
committee on foreign relations that the
existing Chinese exclusion legislation
would not expire till 1894, and that there
was therefore no pressure for immediate
action on the question. ThereupOn the
silver resolution offered by Mr. Morgan
was taken up. and Mr.. Teller proceeded
10 address the senate upon It.
Mr. Teller said that a question which
affected the welfare and prosperity of
the whole country was not of 50 much
consideration as the question OF having
a certain man OF one political party or
OF the other elected as chief executive
for the next four years That influence
has been felt in other places. The great
metropolitan journals OF the Republican
party bad made the assertion that the
president would veto a tree silver bill.

denomination OF the present incumbent

said that the banks of New York city

New York Dictation.

Chicago Times.
Valuable to the party as the electoral
vote Of New York is. the party in that
state has not earned right to dictate TO
the national convention. The party in
New York is in chronic state of quar-
rel, and the national Democracy has
never been so successful as when it de-
termined for itself who its candidate
should be and let New York fight out its
differences.
The convention In Chicago ought to be
a deliberative body, not an automaton
to register the will of New York politi-
clans who are always croaking disaster
unless they have their own way-disas-
ter never realized save when they have
their own way.
