NEW YORK, August The
manner in which American news is
dished up through prejudiced glasses
was never more strongly demon
strated than by an editorial in this
weeks issue of the Times and
Echo, of London, which has an
immense circulation amongst the
working classes. 1t says: Chicago
has had bad luck with her exposi-
ton, on the whole. The place
stinks, the people are inhospitable,
the show turns out to be tame, and
the storm ION Lake Michigan, by
which thirty lives were lost, has
been followed by fearful fire in
the exposition grounds, causing the
death of large number of hremen.
Every man who has been to Chicago
has come back disillusioned and
disappointed, and loud in his dis.
suasion of others who are contem-
plating a visit. The English rush
to Lake Michigan will be very
mild one this autumn"

circles are considerably agitated
over ruling Just made by Sir
Frederick Jeune, chief of the court
of probate and divorce, to the eff.
feet that minister of the gospel
has no right to plead privilege when
asked to state in court the su distance
of a confidential communication
made to him in his sacred capacity
by one of his Pensioners. IIither-
to it has been the unwritten law of

case in court the divine belonged to

The court, however, compelled him
to disclose the information that had

Wants to Impress the PeO-

OF THE GOLD STANDARD.
EMS senator Hill of Colorado,
Made An Address,

CnIcAoo, Hi, August The
delegates to the national hi metallic
convention were a little late in az.
sembling this morning, the evening
session of last night having been
prolonged to so late an hour that
quorum was not present at o:3O this
morning.
General good humor prevailed
over the prospect that ii e financial
troubles that had been embarrassing
the finance committee would be sat
isfactorily adjusted when President
Thurman called the convention TO
order.
Mr.. j. S Dougherty, of Texas,
made the following motion: THAT
a committee of one member from
each state be appointed to devise a
plan and provide the ways aud
means for impressing upon congress
and the people of the ni,ed States
the impending peril that is now
threatening the ruin Of our material
intert sts, and Of which we have
only had foretaste of the dire
results which are sure to follow the
establishment and continuance of
gold az the exclusive measure of
value in this country, and that the
committee report to this convention
plan for appropriate action.
After some discussion the matter
was referred to the committee on
resolutions.
Ex nited States Senator n. l..
Hill, of Colorado, addressed the
convention on the silver question
for nearly an hour. His arguments
were chiefly based on statistics
tending to show that the adoption
of gold or single standard in any
country has invariably been follow
ed by the dread of poverty and de-
preston.

On account of Heat, Crops

ACONFEDERATE MONUMENT
The Only One in the North to
be Unveiled October 7.

NEW ORLEANS, August The
Southern Confederate Reunion,
which was originally to have been
held at Birmingham in July, and
was postponed until September IS
and l6, has again been postponed,
to take place at Birmingham on
Monday and Tuesday, October 2
and 3.
Among the reasons assigned for
the further postponement is the
heat; to permit the harvesting of
of crops; the hope and belief that
the financial situation would great
ly improve during the delay, and
principally it was the desire to af,
ford the old veterans an opportunity
of the cheapest rates to the Worlds
Fair.
AID iutant General Moorman issued
today a general order announcing
the postponement, ard stating that
the reunion would positively take
place at Birmingham on the last
name dates, and that unvei.ing of
the Confederate monument at Chi
cago would occur on October eth.
AS this is the only Confederate
monument on northern soil erected
commemorate the 5000 confederate
dead resting in the shades of Oak
wood cemetery at Chicago, Com
manding General Gordon appeals to
all comrades to form clubs and take
advantage of the cheap excursion
rates secured.
Probably nothing has occurred
since Appomottax which will arouse
such pathos, north or south, as the
