A FURRY in Baltimore Caused BY the

BALTIMORE, June "A furry was
occasioned among Baltimore fnanciers
Yesterday when the report reached here
that Baltimore and Ohio stock had
sold in New York at $50 share. This
is about the lowest price the stock has
ever reached, and the report was dis
believed when 1t first came over the
wires. Many brokers at the Stock
Exchange sent messages to New York
to ascertain the truth Of the statement
The replies verified its accuracy. On
the day previous the stock closed at S75
and fall of five points In twenty-four
hours was very unusual. Many reports
were current as TO the cause OF the fall
In price and each person approached
had theory to advance. From close
inside source il is believed that the drop
in the stock was due solely to the pres

ITALIAN MUSIC MASTERS.
Not What They Are Cracked Up To Be-
Difficuities OF American students

Not What They Are Crackeu Up AZ Do
Difficulties of American students
WASHINGTON, D. c., June AIR.
George W. Hopper, United States con-
sui at Milan. Italy. has made an inter
esting report upon the difficulties en-
countered by American musical students
In Italy. Mr.. Hopper says that the
great majority of young students who
60 to Milan TO "finish of" return to
their homes In few years without
having received great benefit, and Gis-
illusioned as to the merits OF Italian
masters, and he thereupon proceeds to
give some advice as to how this disap-
pointing result may be prevented. The
selection OF a teacher, he says, is one OF
the most difficult problems which con-
fronts the new arrival.
Now that the two most famous, San
Giovanni and Lamper.i are dead, there
remains the $50 others, more or less
celebrated, from which TO choose.
Young women who are wrongfully
allowed to come alone to this country
are here confronted by another difi-
Guilty, as social etiquette, which foroids
their taking lesson unless a third per-
son be present, condemns their appear
ing in public alone. This custom is
gradually giving way to more liberal
views, but it has often even recently
subjected several young women TO the
most annoying persecution. Ont OF the
hundreds who have come to have their
voices tested only to my knowledge re-
celve an honest verdict from
the master to the effect that
the quality Of her voice
did not Justify her In commencing les
sons. Unfortunately the majority are
led to believe that they are destined for
a successful career. Three cases have
been brought to Mr.. Hopper's attention
where the cupiditY OF the master in
wishing to keep his pupils for long
time in order to continue to receive
their money, caused disappointment
tibet resulted In the unsettling of the
reason of all three. Wrong ideas with
regard TO the cheapness OF living in
Italy is also another reason for thr fall
ure OF students, many Of whom think
that board can be had so cheaply that
they bring insufficient funds. This,
says Mr.. Hopper, Is one of the primary
causes OF final Encouragement and
failure

The Atlanta Consultation publishes a
letter from DR.. 1. H. HAND, OF Georgia,
on the question Of State banks OF issue.
He Opposes the repeal Of the present
prohibitory tax on State bank issues
because he is opposed to Estate bank
money"
Its evident that DR.. HAND does not
clearly understand the question. The
repeal Of the prohibitory tax would not
mean the establishment Of State banks
Of Issue. That would be a matter for
each state to decide for itself. But,
even though it did mean State
banks OF issue, those issues would not be
money" but simply notes Of credit
with no greater currency value than
promissory notes. The Constitution
says:
In the States where these notes can be
made available,o or where they are necessary
thew can be made 70 perform a useful ser
vice in utilizing the credit Of those who or
reason OF our present financial system are
practically cut OF from the money supply
furnished by the general government ana
the banks. The whole matter would be
left % the States themselves.
DR.. HAND agrees that state banks Of IS
sue would be a partial measure OF relieI
from oppressive evils or the national
banking system" This IS all t3at the
Consultation has ever claimed Tor this sys-
TEN. We have never supposed Tor mo-
a. "a fafrrsn mr. a
remedy for the swarm OF nnanclal evils
brought upon us by Republican financial
legislation. We have never advocated II
as q substitute for the free coinage or sill
yer, but as a supplementary measure
everl hDlDCss, 10 is true that state banks OF
~ would afford a measure OF relief that
can be obtained in no other way. There Is
no other method whereby the property and
credit OF communities remote from money
centers eau be 50 readily utilized. Inc
notes would not be m the nature Of money,
and their currency anon the people would
depend altogether on their sounanssS.
As the Constitution very truthfully
points out, it is not denied that the
national banks have been using their
vast powers most viciously during the
past few months, and that it would be
wholesome to limit their present power

OF the country At win.
Our contemporary is right. 1t is, at
least, certain that no State bank Of issue
could have.a greater power for evil than
q Zimri Dwiggins Institution, or the
Wall st. concerns that have used their
power to suck the life out Of the chan
nels Of trade for their own selfish Dur-
poses.

We see that In 1869 Europe hao b, 0yo,-
600 soldiers, and that she has now 3D.
PAS, 900, more than triple the number In
1869. The military expenses follow the
same rate OF progression. Europe ex-
pended in 1869, ACES, 600. 900 frances on
its armies, and now she expends 4,O69,-
600, 900 francs, and the various govern
ments find they have not yet enough.
Moreover, commerce has not developed,
but on the contrary has decreased, be-
cause the United States has bought less
since 1869. Europe, therefore, can not
support additional burdens. But the
great powers do not wish TO disarm, and
the little ones are obliged to follow the
movement, even when there is no pollt-
ical necessity for arming or for defense.
There is only one solution TO the situ-
tion-disarmament Of war. Disarma-
ment is impossible, because nobody
wants to take the initiative, and as 1t
would be necessary to make a proper
tlonate decrease which would give rise
to innumerable difficulties, therefore the
alternative is war. This will take place
on the day when one of the great powers
feels that the opportunity is presented,
and that it has got to the end Of its re-
sources.
What / say here is not my personal
opinion. but the conviction OF the econo-
mists and dipIomatists Of Europe, only
no one of them dares to speak for the
rest Of Europe. All feel that the con-
sequences OF war would be so frightful
that none dare to call upon specter
of SO terrible q mien. do not say that
war will take place this year, for no
sovereign will dare to begin It, know
ing that If vanquished he cannot 90
back to his people. Any one who will
uot see that the danger is imminent, is
only playing at politics, and 1t Is like
the ostrich hiding its head not to see
danger. Let us pray to God to keep of
as long as possible the scourge. but we
are sure we shall some day be struck
by il.

that brought on almost frenzy OF emDar-

One or two of her classmates said in
their testimony that she would know a
lesson perfectly, aud when she rose before
Prof. Straus to recite she seemed incapa-
ole of telling, or explaining, or recitine
any portion of it. Then she would be
required TO take her seat, and this
requirement. which came to all the
scholars under like circumstances,
Miss Stephenson seemed to regard as
a personal humiliation, and consequently
she would grieve over the matter until Ill
ness overcame her. Her final and fatal Ill
ness is attributed by her family to the
treatment she received in the school. The
evidence so far introduced fails TO discover
any ground upon which TO base even a
suspicion that her death was traceable to
the fault of any of her teachers.

The lynching Of a negro in Illinois
IN the presence Of 5000 people, who

IS one crime in the calendar which will
be tolerated in no section OF the country
without the reward Of summary punish

The negro who was lYnched at De

The fact that his punishment was the

The Youngstown Conference Between
Iron Men Postponed

Iron Men Postponed.
PITTsBURG, PA, June 4.-Committees
representing the Mahoning and Shen-
ango Valley iron manufacturers and
the Einishers' Union met in conference
at Youngstown yesterday TO discuss the
coming years scale. The Finishers'
Union presented its scale, which is the
same as the one now existing.
A hitch arose over the first clause, the
manufacturers wanting reduction on
the different sizes Of billets. The hitch
caused the conference to adjourn sub
ject to the call of the manufacturers.
What the reduction asked for by the
manufacturers is could not be learned,
but it is thought to be about ten per
cent. Another conference will likely be
held Ia a week or ten days.
Secretary Kilgallon, OF the Amalga-
mated Association, was asked to-day If
the action Of the Finishers' Union at
Youngstown would have any bearing
upon the wage committee Of the Anal
gamated in formulating a scale for the
coming year. He said: mo, sir; not
particle, We will go on with our work
as IL the Finishers' Union was not in
existence"
Mr.. Kngallon smiled significantly
when asked il the wage committee con-
templated making reduction in the
price OF pudding that was plainly In
dicative that such step is not contem-
plated.
