London, Aug. Sin the House of Com
mons to-day Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett,
conservative, asked the government
whether, since the stoppage of the free
minting of silver in India, there had been,
as stated, depreciation in the value of
securities held in England TO the amount
of $1,000 600; whether the supply of
gold was not insufficient to the monetary
requirements of trade, and what meas
ures the government proposed to take to
avert financial crisis.
Mr. Gladstone replied that he did not
know how to ascertain the truth of the
assertion that decline to the amount
stated had taken place in the value of Sc
curities held in England. He did not be-
lieve that the supply of gold was INSULT
cient for trade requirements. and he could
not announce measures to avert q crisis
that he did not believe would occur.

Nothing has been done yet to carry out

Mcleod of the British cruiser Pallas,
for having steamed down with his
crew at quarters and guns out upon the
Pallas, which was lying outside the

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
No More to be Issued by the Treasury
at Present,

Washington, Aug. 3.-No moro silver
certificates win be issued by the treasury
department for the present the limit pre-
scribed by law having been reached.
That is to say, as many silver certificates
are now outstanding as there are stand
ard silver dollars coined and in the trea-
sury to redeem them. The standard sill
yer dollar was issued under the act of
1878, commonly known as the Bland act.
Under this law $50, 1856, 374 standard silver
dollars have been coined. OF this coinage
there are: Standard silver dollars
in the treasury, 1898, ,l64, ,5S3 (;
silver certificates in circulation,
$3.50, ,2S2, ,490; silver certificates
in the treasury, cash, S2,909,024; new
standard silver dollars In the treasury,
after deducting the silver certificates in
circulation, S2,SS2, ,103; standard silver
dollars in circulation, S56,771, ,791, and
standard silver dollars paid out by the
Philadelphia mint to-day $500. The re
duction in the number of standard silver
dollars in the treasury has been brought
about by the large demand recently for
silver dollars from the south to move
crops in Georgia and the Carolinas, and
to pay off the hands at work on the cotton
crop.
A CIRCULAR ON THE SUBJECT
Following is the text of a circular is
sued by United States Treasurer Morgan
to-day: "The issue of silver certificates
being limited to the amount of standard
silver dollars held by the treasury for
their redemption or exchange, for the
present standard silver dollars can be
furnished only for silver certificates
deposited for exchange or in return
for those received for redemption.
Halves, quarters and dimes can be
furnished, in the place Of standard silver
dollars in sums of 500 or more, free of
charge for expressage, or by registered
mail, in sums of multiples Of $50, regis
tration free, for drafts collectible at
Washington or any of the sub-treasury
cities, namely: New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati Chicago,
St Louis, New Orleans or San Francisco,
or for a deposit of currency by any cor
respondent in said cities. The coin will
be forwarded from the nearest sub
treasury office. and drafts in payment
therefor should be drawn TO the order OF

The Paying On of The Bonds to Begin

in 10 DAYS.
Chicago, Aug. 3.-Pruning down of ex-
penses continues to be the active occupa-
tion of the worlds fair management.
Day by day the number of employees is be-
coming smaller and it is believed that by
the last of the week the great white city
will be working on a bed rock basis
financially. 1t has been decided to reduce
the secret service force, the number of
bian guards, and to materially lessen the
number of passes, and it is believed that
before the close of the week the COM
mittee on ceremonies will have been
abolished. There is talk that the foreign
affairs department may also be done away
with and that the duties now performed
by the department will be placed in the
control of the director general. In this
way the management hope to save from
$500, 900 to $3.50, 900 during the next three
months.
TO BEGIN TO PAY OFF BONDS.
It is said on the authority of Lyman J.
Gage, member of the finance committee,
that the payment of bonds will begin very
soon, probably within ten days, and that
of itself shows that the finances are down
to an economical basis. The expenses, he
said, are about $4,000 per day, which is
as close as could be expected in a plant of
such magnitude OF course the attend
ance will determine the final outcome of
the fair financially, but with conservative
management, the bonds ought to be paid
out with possible surplus besides.

As Russia advances, so does England,
but less confidently and more Historically.
These two powers seem by the logic of
events to be drawn into irreconcilable
hostility. Russia is encroaching upon
the realms which England has long
claimed as her own; and every move of
the former is watched eagerly by the
latter Even an understanding between
the head OF the Russian Empire and the
head of the Catholic church, apparently
an affair pertaining only to spiritual
matters, is capable Of being assigned
place in the great political game. Care
full observers of the Eul opean situation
agree that Russia is now directing her
energies towards the acquisition of a
which has been called for many years
an English lake, and which the combined
naval powers of England and Italy have
long been thought able to dominate. 1t
is not at all unlikely that in this crisis
of italian affairs the sympathy of the
Pope may be of some practical advantage
to Russia. The empire Of the North is
looking now to maritime expansion She
has nearly completed her railway across
Asiatic Siberia to the Pacific, and it
was announced only yesterday that she
intended to establish extensive lines of
steamer service on the Pacific. AS a
commercial power she will wish for an
outlet also for those energies of her EN-
pire which concentrate at the Black
Sea; and ultimately for a greater free
dom in the Suez Canal than she can have
while that is British institution. The
alarm which England has already taken
about her naval supremacy shows that
the march of events with Russia will
! be worth observing.

That these discourses have q lasting
worth and possessed permanent interest
as a contemporary Judgment of events
and conditions by high-minded man
whose influence was felt in the shaping

ing. They have more than value as lit
erature, as the uttarances of man OF
singular eloquence and wit and wonder
full command of polished and effective
speech; they are contri buttons to right
understanding of the best spirit of the
times in which Curtis lived and played
so beneflcent part. In their insistence
upon the validity of the fundamental
principles of American democracy, upon
the indissoluble connection of morals
and politics, upon the necessity of manly
independence in public life, they voiced
the highest sentiment of the country
and in more than one instance, had an
immediate effect upon public opinion.
That effect promises to be lasting.
They are put in the spirit of an idealist
it is true, but ideaIism tempered by
sweet and sound reasonableness. OF
their literary charm and their interest
to the scholar and the man Of letters it
is superfuous to speak. The reader will
be interested in tracing the development
of Curtis's literary style. for which

The Boston Herald, evidently disturbed
lest some people may attribute the hard
time= te the rsvages of the tariff grapp-
ling iron which Prof. Wilson is dragging
over the nations industries, blandly as
sures us that no tariff bill ever made a
financial panic in this country, and that
such head flaws are most apt to come
from arrangement of the currency. In
the Herald's opinion the present panic
was the result of arrangement, al
though the present tariff situation may
be protracting the panic. This admis
sion that the Wilson bill is prolonging
the panic is odd reading in view of the
assurances which the people Of New Eng
land were receiving while the silver re-
peal bill was pending. We were then
told by papers like the Herald that the
silver situation was solely responsible
for the hard times, and that business
would revive as soon as Congress should
act. few public men and newspapers
that ventured to declare that the causes
of trouble lay deeper than the silver
question, that distrust of the administra
tion's tariff policy was the real underly-
ing cause, were reproved both as false
prophets and enemies of the public veal.
Now it is admitted that the tariff situa-
ton is holding prosperity down although
it had nothing to do with putting the
benign giant on his back. Now what is
there to be gained by persisting in a
course which keeps the good times away?
Was the country ever more prosperous
than in the years preceding the advent
Of Mr.. Wilson upon the Ways and Means
committee? Does anyone suppose that
it can be any more prosperous after Mr..
Wilson has worked his will? Why not
throw the bill to the dogs. and let the
ranio go hence?

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The reader is tempted to pronounce the
Letters of James Russell Lowell, edited
by Charles Eliot Norton and published
in two dignified volumes by the Harpers,
the most entertaining collection of the
kind in the English language for the
last fifty years. He may with safety
yield to the temptation, and no man will
say him nay. In hazarding this assur-
ance of Lord Russell's edition of Moore's
Letters and Diary, q fascinating. work,
is kept in mind, and the line only
drawn at Locknart's Scott. The Lowell
collection is rarely entertaining. 1t is
as readable as novel, as inspiring as
Lowell's own poetry, as witty as Oliver
Wendell Holmes, as edifyine as Walter
Savage Landor Further eulogistic
epithets are held in reserve lest the read
er suspect the reviewer of having lost his
head, and distrust the praise because OF
it's profuseness. The letters are delight
fully frank and unstudied, and fairly
bubbling with wit. There is scarcely a
page without an epigram; and few, par
ticularly in the later letters. that do not
convey some keen or profound reflection,
apparently dropped in passing, on litera-
ture or politics or the immediate events
of the day. The earlier ones are marked
with this delightful conceit. the superb
arrogance, the cock-sure air about every
thing that characterize young man OF
genius conscious of his gifts, who has not
yet learned to measure himself by meas
uring with his contemporaries As
Lowell lived on and learned more OF
himself and his fellows he grew less
sharp of speech, less confident of his own
infallibility, more measured as well as
more mature in Judgment, more tolerant
to those whose standards differed from
his own. Indeed toward the last he
became almoss too mellow, good nature
outgrowing good Judgment and was as
profuse in praise as he had previously
been in censure. The later papers, too.
convey a strain of sadness, owing doubt
less to i'll health and the increasing
loneliness of life. But the fine wit
never entirely failed, and the very latest
letter is studded with an epigraln In
his essays and formal criticisms Lowell
sentences too often smell of the lamp
and bear markes of the file. The wit OF
the letter is bubbling, spontaneous,
thrown off with careless profusion from
an apparently exhaustless store. Ev-

he drew from, and not cistern One
