presses a High Opinion Of the Amer

Paris, July Sc. J. Phelps, of the
counsel for the Uuited States, finished
his closing address before the Behring
Sea tribunal of arbitration to-day
Baron DeCourcel, president of the tri-
bural, complimented Mr.. Phelps upon his
skill and elOquence of discharging the
difficult task of closing an eloquent de-
bate after his friends on both sides
had striven to make the perform
ance as arduous as possible. "You have
performed the duty deyolving on you, ~
said the president "in a manner deserv-
ing admiration. You have blended the
deep science of n lawyer with the refine
ment of a man of letters, and the dignity
of a diplomatist. The counsel appreciate
the delicacy of touch with which you
have handled the matters already before
US in manifold form. | beg TO be
allowed to consider the laurels which
you have won at this cosmopolitan
bar as a fair addition to the wreath of
honors that you have conquered in other
fields of the Old and new world.'

Tho Anxiety Felt In England Intensi-
fed by the Weeks Developments.


London, July s.-Thc developments in
the silver market during last week have
intensified the anxiety caused by the ac-
tion of the Indian government. A COM
mittee of the bi-metallists in parliament
have issued a manifesto signed by
Sir William HOuldsworth and Henry
Chaplin, to protest against the closing
of lndia's mints to free coinage of silver.
Gable dispatches from Bombay, Cal
cutta and other Indian ports agree in
stating that the export trade there
has almost ceased. Every English in
dustrial center which has had commercial
relations with India is feeling
the unfavorable effect Of the general sus-
pension of orders. The expectation is
that in time trade will be adopted to the
new conditions; meanwhile the bankers
and traders most concerned view fear
fully the immediate future. The most
ardent advocates of mono -uetalism and
currency reform in India are be-
ginning to discover that the change
is fraught with Unforeseen perils
This week, out Of 100000 rupees
offered for tender, the government sue
ceeded in placing only $4,000 This sum
was placed, moreover, at 15H pence, or
Is of a penny below the minimum of rs
bNLNts tlt IAOnhlllSu lOluS iidb IL IS
better to make no allotment of council
bills rather than deviate from the stand
ard price and quotes the present rates to
show that the mere act of closing the
mints to silver win not enable the gov
ernment TO dominate the exchange market
OPIUMs TUMBLE.
The fall in the price of opium has been
rather unwelcOmc and unexpected result
of lndia's action. The report of the cur
rency committee did not predict any con-
siderable diminution Of the rupee value Of
opium exports, yet this weeks opium
sales in Calcutta showed not only an i'm
mense decrease Of the quantity
bought, but also a reduction of II
per cent. in price. If the loss
of the Indian governments opium revenue
become permanent, tho budget will be
seriously disturbed. just what win be
the issue of all these difficulties, it would
be premature to predict. In financial
circles here, a report is current that Sc
rious differences which have arisen be-
tween the government and Indian council
in London are likely to result in the
abandonment of thenew currency expert
ment. That the long debated plan should
be Withdrawn so soon after an attempt
to realize it is regarded by conservative
financcrs as somewhat improbable al
though in every authoritative quarter the
opinion is that the experiment is likely to
fail utterly.

kee And Followed the Railroad.
~Pomeroy, July 8-Reports from the
line followed by the cyclone indicate that
it started about one mile west of Chero-
kee and followed closely the Illinois
Central railroad, cutting a swath from
one-fourth to one-half mile wide and com
pletely demolishing everything in its
path for distance Of sixty miles, leaving
death and destruction everywhere
Two hundred and eight residences at
POmeroy were swept completely off the

Hardly residence remains untouched
and the business portion of Pomerey is so
badly wrecked that it can be said with

the wind had set the one hearse in the

length in the ground. Wagons were used
and twenty of the killed were inferred
yesterday. The damage is conservatively
estimated at $S00000

BoMBARDING THE ARMY BILL.
Groeber Says it Couldn't Pass if the
Members Knew its Cost.

Berlin, July o-day's session of the
reichstag Herr Groeber, centrist who in
thelast reichstag voted in opposition to the
army bill, spoke against the new measure
in the name of the entire party The
centrists, he declared, were firmly op-
posed to the bill, and all the newly elected
representatives of the party were pledged
against it. From a military point of view
the bill was needless, and
from an economical standpoint
it was ruinous. 1t would be better for
the government to enter into an organic
federation with Austria than to increase
her army superfuously. The present
government gave game to secure a mouse
trap. The majority was an undignitied
one. Doubtless if the house knew
how the government intended to
cover the extra cost involved by the
measure, it would not be able to find
majority

ITALY's BANK BILL.
The Final Debate on the Measure in
the Chamber Tumultuous.


Rome, July S.-The final debate on the
bank bill in the chamber of deputies to-
day was tumultuous. Signor Bowie,
who has been energetic in pressing for
ward the investigation of frauds, made
the speech of the day. The time had
come, he said, for all implicated in the.
bank brifery to explain their actions.
The. deputies, senator's, and
hands with the corruption funds, scat
tered by banks of issue, ought now to
confess and defend themselves if they
could. The country ought to learn
who were its dishonest servants.
"If the senate will appoint new
committee of inquiry" continued
Signor Bowie, II viii refrain from naming
the guilty men. demand, however,
that the guilty men abstain from voting
on the measure now before the house. II
they do not | will name them"
RIOT BREAKS LOOSE.
Riot broke loose in the chamber as
Signor Bowie made this threat. Some OF
the deputies shouted "Name them"
Others turned on Signor Bowie with
clenched fists and called him boaster,
liar and a hypocrite. Insults were ex-
changed on every side and a dozen or
more fights were prevented only by the
H4LCL ACipllO0 VI " low NOOA Aioh NHO
held back their most pugnacious coll
leagues. After endeayoring in vain for
five minutes to restore order, the president
of the chamber suspended the
sitting. When the proceedings were
resumed Signor Bowie yielded to the
opportunities of his friends and declined
TO continue his speech.
The bank bill wrs then passed by vote
of 222 to 2l5.
The chamber then adjourned for the

Paris, July s.-Aside from the wreck

duty, the city this morning presented its
usual appearance. All the newspapers
agree that the riots last night were
milder than those that have occurred
every night since last Saturday, and ex-
press their belief that the firm hand of

hundred arrests of rioters were made
yesterday and last night.
DUPUY UNDER FIRE.
A violent attack upon NJ. Dupuy prime
minister, was made in the chamber of
deputies to-day by M. Paulin Merry and
Tony Revillion The attack had its ori-
gin in the course the government has
pursued toward the rioters and the two
deputies were very bitter in their denun-
citation of the prime minister Their til
rade had no effect upon the sentiment of
the chamber, for the house by a vote Of
343 to l34 adopted an order of the day
expressing confidence in the government.
After the result of the vote was an
nounced, Ernest Roche demanded that
Nj Dupuy be prosecuted on the charge OF
fomenting civil war The chamber re-
jected the demand and at 12:55 o'clock

CoRNELL's CREW ooNoUERs.
The University Pennsylvania Crew
Beaten on Lake Minnetonka.

Lake Park, Lake Minnetonka, MINI,
July S.-The Cornell and Pennsylvania
Varsity eight, rowed four mile straight
away race to-day, and Cornell won by
three lengths. No one saw the race, for
to have accomplished this feat, the spec
tator would have had to be equipped with
an electric search light.
The race was scheduled to start at 8
o'clock, but it was after 8 before the
crews were sent away Heavy winds and
exceedingly rough water were response
bic for the delay In the meantime
thousands of spectators who lined the
shore or crowded small craft, speculated
on the probable time of starting, and laid
wagers that the race would be postponed.
Cornell was the favorite, the betting be-
ing five to one on them The Quakers
took numerous bets but could not be in
duced to take anything at even money or
short odds.
A PRETTY RACE.
Finally the crews started They took
the water together and pulled the first
mile almost abreast. At the mile stake
they, were on line. Here the Pennsyl-
vania boys let themselves out
little, and during the second mile OBJ
taiued lead of about three quarters Of a
length. The steady stroke OF the Cornell
crew began to tell and slowly but surely
the red and white forged ahead and at
the third mile Cornell was leading by
three lengths. This lead was maintained
to the finish.
The finish witnessed one of the most
disgraceful sights ever seen at a boat race.
The police provisions were inadequate,
and sail and steam craft which had col
lected during the long wait were
anchored directly in the course of the
boats. Had not Cornell lead she
would never have won the race, for
Sherman, the coXswain of Cornell had
to literally thread his way through a lab
yrinth Of boats, He was successful and
the winning crew crossed the finish line
in % minutes and 81 seconds from the
time of starting, exceptionally good time,
considering the water and other condi-
tiOns.
