GOV. FULLER ON FINANCE.
Views of Our distinguished Executive on
tn" Present Monetary Troubles.
Ifrom the Chioago Mn.icnl Timc..I


Hon. Levi X. Fuller, governor of Yer
mont, reached thi, city yesterday and i'm
mediately proceeded to the worlds fair
grounds. where he was shortly afterwarl
joined by a representative Of the Musical
Times. Speaking incidentally of the crisis
through which the country l. passing, the
governor said:
The situation which has confronted us
for the past few months is three-fold in its
scope. II covers
First, the banking interests
Second, the finances or question of parity
between gold and silver.
Thirdly, the question of the tariff
The first or banking interests are very
far reaching and extend back to the time
Of the Barring Bros failure. The bank
ing interests Of this country and Great
Britain are very closely allied, our stocks
and bonds being largely held on the other
side. England's losses in the South Amori-
can republics amounted to some $500. coo. 70
600 and her losses in Australia to about
800 DOC. 600. Money was needed 10 coun-
terbalance this and consequently our stocks
and bonds have for the past two or three
years been returning to Us and we have been
sending money to the other side. The con
tinuous drain finally depleted orr gold and
brought on the crisis through which we have
just passed This might have been avoided
by issuing government bonds. Gen. Grant
confronted IA much more serious problem
which was easily solved without any deti-
ment to the country by tn" issue of bonds
The second or financial situation which
has confronted us, is the question whether
we are to continue doing business on our
present basis, preserving the parity between
gold and silver, or to start out on an entire
ly new one.
And lastly comes the tariff. which affects
some OF the largest industries III the coun-
try
"Do you think the worst is over:'
YES, | think the first two causes are
pretty well settled and now comes the tariff
Just how far reaching that viii be depends
largely on what is done with it, 1t will re
tard every business affected by it until it is
finally settled. Of course this country is
too prosperous to be kept back for any great
length of time by almost any measure that
might be passed.
We have great recuperative powers and
easily overcome all obstacles. | think from
this time on business will gradually inn
prove.

The autumn session of the British Pallia-

compeh legislation this year In view of
the collapse of the opposition the liberals are
confident that the parish councils bill Will

The repeal Of the silver purchase clause of

the New York correspondent of the in

of the repeal bill as follows: 1T

and now only one thing seems to stand
IN the way of the revival of business. and
that is the tariff agitation. As Congress
has adjourned the tariff bill goes over to the

He Buys an Ancestral Estate From the
Duke of Westminster for 81 ,25O,OOO.
William Waldorf Aston has bought the splen-
did estate of Cliveden. on the banks of the
Thames. England. from the Duke of Westmins-
ter. The sum Paid is stated to be 81 $50 900.
Cliveden is at Maidenhead, Berks county, and
is one of the ancestral seats of the duke. 1t is
the finest place on the Thames, although its de-
lights have been diminished Of late years. Be-
ing so near London it has become the favorite
hunting ground of the savages who hire launches
by the day, while on Sunday it is the haunt of
a large section Of society" The Duke of
Westminster bought Cliveden twenty -four years
ago. A few months afterward the house was
burned to the ground and a very fine collection
OF old furniture was destroyed. The present
splendid mansion was then built from designs
by Architect Barry.
The mansion at Clveden, though somewhat
heavy aud formal. is imposing and magnificent.
The center portion is a revival Of the design
for old Somerset House. and is extended to the
wings, which. together with the terrace, are
made to harmonic with the new building.
just above is Hedsor Park, the seat Of Lord
Boston, the other neighboring property is
Dropmore House. built by Lord Grenville,
George Ills prime minister, and long the
favored resort OF himself, his great-cousiu. Mr..
Pitt, and William Windham. The grounds OF
Cliveden are comparatively small, about 135
acres. 1t is little less than forty miles from
Putney bridge by the River Thames.
