MIR. THEODORE THOMAS has had reason to
regret that he ever left New York to become
the conductor OF an orchestra in Chicago. He
has had hard experiences there during the
past two years. Since he became Director of
Music at the Exposition he has had peculiar
trials. and at this time he cannot get his full
salary. or please the Committee on Liberal
Arts or the Dir ectory or Gen. DAVIS It Is
alleged that he Is not first class conductor
that he does not draw in enough money that
his orchestra Is not organized as 1t ought to
be, that he has tried to favor certain piano
firms. that the Bureau OF Music Is unproflt-
able. that he demands extravagant pay, that
he is very stiff necked. and that the Director
General cannot get along with him. Some OF
the Chicago papers attack him harshly. and in
ways that must seriously aggrayate his
troubles. Ihero arc now conflicting reports as
to whether he has sent in his resignation as
Director OF Music In the Exposition.
We regret these things for the sake OF Mr..
THOMAS. who. during many years. gave delight
to the music-loving community In New York.
We are aware that he Is man OF temper and
positive spirit, who will not tolerate m uch In
reference with his business. and who Will fol-
low the bent OF his own mind. though obsta-
cles arise on every hand. We do not believe
he can ever 60 along smoothly In Chicago.
which is not fit place for him. or In the Ex
position. which is not controlled by men OF
musical quality. But he is a master OF music:
he Is a most excellent conductor OF an orches-
ira: he has organized q good orchestra for the
Exposition. all the members OF which are his
devoted friends. and all of whom will resign
their places II he shall bo compelled to give up
his leadership. The managers OF the Exposi.
tion cannot find another conductor OF equal
ability
We warned Brother THOMAS when he wentt to
Chicago from New York. that he would very
surely have unpleasant experiences out there.
He has. to our regret, had moro OF them than
anybody could have anticipated. We could not
blame him II he were to leave the place

We guess that there will be merry times
at the Worlds Parliament OF Religions" in
Chicago The delegates thus far chosen give
assurance to this effect One OF them has
drawn up for presentation the first three arti-
cles OF the creed Of the universal religion"
which run thus:
Il. All religions are true.
"2. All religions are false
"8 ANY creed held as hnalitv is false. no matter
how true 1t may happen to be for the time being"
We have not yet received tho other articles
OF this creed. but We should think that these
three will receive the approval Of all the cranks
in creation. The author Of the creed proposes
to give full play to all the religious aspira-
tions OF mankind" and We infer that the Parlia-
ment will have one member who understands
his business. We cannot tell whether he will
be elected President OF the Parliament or ex-
PEELED from it as fool.

EXTRA SESSION.
Congressman Springer Says 1t Will
Not Exceed Ten Days.

Representative Springer of Illinois,
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee in the last Congress, has
arrived in Washington City and ap-
peared at the capitol building yester-
day. He was eagerly sought for and
his views on the financial situation
were persistently solicited by the
hosts of more or less idle newspaper
correspondents, who have already be-
gun to assemble in great numbers at
the scene of the coming legislative
fray. In the course of his remarks
Mr., Springer was heard to say, that,
in his opinion, Congress will not be in
session for more than a week or ten
days in August. In that time the
hopeful Mr.. Springer thought the sill
yer purchase clause of the Sherman
act could be repealed, and the Ways
and Means Committee could be en-
powered to draft tariff blu for sub
mission to Congress when it recon-
venes, which should be some time in
October.
AS to the tariff, it would be impos-
sible for the Ways and Means Com
mittee to do justice to the subject
while the House was in constant ses-
sion; there were too many disturbing
elements, and the surroundings were
not favorable for wise and safe legis-
lation. But, if the committee was
empowered to prepare bill, and was
allowed to 60 to some quiet place on
the seashore, or elsewhere, and pursue
its labors unmolested, the result would
be a satisfactory bill.
Touching the course of the Ways
and Means Committee in dealing with
the tariff, Mr.. Springer said it would
doubtless report one general tariff bill
instead of series of specific bills
That policy had done good service
last Congress, but the time was now
at hand when the Democratic party
must redeem its pledges and reform
the entire tariff system. To do this
would not involve any radical changes
of the rules of the House, for, Mr..
Springer believes, the majority can al
ways reach an expression of its will
through the Committee on Rules,
which can bring in special rule to
fit each case as it arises.
Mr.. Springer had not seen Mr..
Crisp, so he did not say anything re-
spectlng the composition of the COM
mittees or his own place upon them.

Gold Reserve Growing.

Tho pleasing assurance comes from
Washington that for the first time
since April Goth, when the gold re,
serve fell below the hundred million
mark, the reserve in the national
treasury has been made intact. Gold
in the treasury, exclusive of that held
as the basis for gold certificates,
amounts to $1O0,791,370, or $791,3S0
free gold. This has come into the
United States from Europe, Mexico
and the West Indies, much of 1t being
gold sent out from the United States
during the late spring and early sum-
mer months. Information received
indicates that $1O,OO0,0O0 in gold is
now on the way from Europe to the
United States, and most Of this, 1t is
expected, will find its way as usual
into the treasury.

A FIEND's WORK.
Murders His Wife and Attempts to
Burn the Body.

Henry Arnold, a brutal negro, liv-
ing in the notorious settlement known
rs Swsmp-poodle, has added another,
to the long list of bloody tragedies,
which mark that spot as place of
riot and bloodshed. The crime, for
which Arnold is now a fugitive with
the officers OF the law on his trail, is
one of the most brutal ever committed
In even that blood-stained district.
At 2 o'clock this morning he came
home, presumably from nights
carousal, and at once began to abuse
his wife, Fannie, comely young
negro woman, fully ten or fifteen
years younger than her brutal hus-
band. The quarrel is supposed to
have lasted only a few moments
when Arnold, in a fit of
jealous rage picked up an
iron bar lying near and struck her
over the head. The woman fell as
though dead, and her murderer, fear
ing detection and punishment, instant
ly set about covering up the evidences
of his bloody deed. With iendish de-
liberation the brute set about his hor-
rible work, taking a mattress from the
bed he placed the inanimate body of
his wife thereon and then placing an
other mattress as a cover proceeded
to pile clothing, boxes and other IN
1amable materi.l on top. This done
he saturated the entire mass with coal
oil and patiently awaited the outcome
of his awful work. The brute's
scheme, however, was frustrat-
ed by . discovery of the flames
before the fire had gained
full headway. Frank Washington,
porter at the Huckins House, and Sam
Harris, were the first to arrive on the
scene. They found the murderer out
side in his night clothes. He stated
that he had just been awakened by
the fire and assisted in putting out
the flames. When found the woman's
body was terribly burned but life was
not yet extinct and she continued to
breathe for fully ten minutes, after
being taken from the burning build
ing. All this while the murderer
remained on the scene, until
q woman from an adjoining
house pointed him out as the perpe-
TRAITOR of the crime. Hearing her first
words the brutal wretch made dash
for liberty and escaped before the full
import Of the woman's words could
be realized by those present. The Of
ficers are close on his trail and his
capture Is hourly looked for.

THE BLOCKADE RAISED.

A final adjustment of the recently
existing differences between France
and Siam may be deduced from the
announcement by Sir Edward Gray,
Parliamentary Secretary of the for
eign Office, Of the raising of the French
blockade, which statement was Off
cially made by him in the English
House of Commons.
Immediately after Sir Edward made
the announcement that the blockade
had been raised Sir Edward Temple
asked for information as to certain
points of the dispute. Sir Richard
has held high position in the east.
He said 1t was the impression in many
quarters that British diplomacy had
received q check IN the negotiations
carried on by France and Great
Britain. Siam, he added, had been
treated in q hard manner and British
interests had not been safely guarded.
There was q serious feeling in Eng
land that the action of the foreign Of
fee had been incompetent. The cessa-
tion Of the Siamese territory, he said
meant tho whole bank of the Me-Kong
river, and it was unfortunate, as it
would bring France nearer to Bur-
nah. The indemnity demanded by
France appeared to be an extravagant
one. 1t was cruel for great power
like France to ask such an indemnity
in addition to seizing from Siam the
richest districts abutting the Menam
delta. Measures ought to be taken,
Sir Richard declared, 10 limit the
French occupation of the territory,
the occupation of which he supposed
to be only temporary. So important
did no consider the point he would
suggest that Great Britain help Siam
pay The money indemnity with view
to terminating the French occupation
of the district in question.
Hon. George Cursor said he doubt.
ed Frances intention to execute her
pledge to preserve the integrity of
Siam. France acted in most arbi-
trary manner from the very outset of
the trouble and had shown scant con-
slderation for her victim. The assur-
ance given by France 70 England had
not been kept. Cursor concluded by
declaring that the foreign Office was
on trial at the bar of public opinion.
Sir Edward Gray reproached Cur
son with trying TO embarrass the gov
ernment while negotiations of the
most delicate kind were impending
The situation required Siam 10 main
tain considerable reserve. He was
confident It would be found when the
result Of the negotiations had been
scloseddi chat the action of the for.
eign Office had been az strong as posi-.
bile. This was greeted with cries Of
lehear, hear.'

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Effect Of an Increase in the Ma
tional Bank Circulation.

The Effect Of an Increase in the Ma
tional Bank Circulation.
A new and rather unexpected ele-
ment of relief has been injected into
the financial situation. United States
bonds have reached such low figure
that the national banks see their way
to make profit by issuing circulation
against them. Arrangements have
therefore been made by several of the
more prominent banks to increase
their circulation from the minimum
limit at which it now stands to such
an amount as will materially relieve
the present tension. II is estimated
that $8,OO0,0OO or $10,OO0,0O0 will be
added to New York's supply of cur
rency within a short thine. Orders
have already been placed with the
comptroller of the currency for part
of the new bills, and some of the
banks have bought bonds preparatory
to depositing them in Washington
among the banks named as interested
are the Gallatin, the Fourth, the Mer-
chants, the First, the New York and
the Park. The Fourth National has
already $2,000,000 in bills engraved )
and the Gallatin about $800,0Oo. The
latter bank purchased $550,000 bonds
and the Bank of New York $780,
900. The rest of the amount will be
made up among the other banks
named. Negotiations are under way
between the savings banks and the ma
tional banks for the transfer of large
block of government As fer use as Sc
curity for net circulation. The saw
ings banks are not allowed ordi-
narily to carry over 10 per cent.
of their assets in cash. AS a
matter of fact they generally carry a
much smaller percentage, SO in spite
of the fact that they have been accu-
mulating cash lately they are probably
still below the ten per cent limit al
lowed them. 1t is thought they
would rather dispose of large block
of securities now and have cash in
hand than wait until the cash is ac-t
tually needed and then have to sacri-
flee their holdings for what they would
bring.
The shipment of gold from England
for New York by Wednesdays steam
ers was G930,000. Part of this was
eagles and double eagles, and will
probably return in the very kegs with
the seal unbroken in which they were
shipped to London during the recent
specie export movement. Arrange
ments are also reported to be made at
Chicago for the import of $50O,00O
gold direct by the First national bank
of Chicago, $250,000 by the bank of
Novia Scotia of that city and 100000
by the Illinois trust savings institu-
tion. The total gold now afoat from
Europe for America, most of it due
here within week, is between 81
100000 and ,$S,000,O00.

S. M. ROBERTSON,
Secretary Democratic Caucus

There are still comparatively few
members of either house of The
Federal Congress in Washington and
there is some doubt as to whether
there will be a majority of the Demo-
cratic legislators in that city in time
for caucus. There were, up to the
latest accounts, less than forty men,
bers OF the lower house and not more
than twenty senator's yet arrived in
the capital city.
Among the latter Senator Teller ia
the most recent arrival, and he comes
fresh from the west ready to take up
the fight for silver where he dropped
it at the close of last session. He is
emphatic in the opinion that the
Sherman law cannot be repealed, at
least without some substitute, and
says some months will elapse before
the law is wiped from the books.
Mr.. Teller lays the whole trouble at
the doors of bankers, who he says for
the purpose of forcing the issue OF
bonds and creating sentiment favor
able to the repeal of the Sherman act
worked up general scare and sought
TO establish o general feeling Of
mistrust.
Senator Harris said the finance
committee was ready to go to work
on the subject at a moments notice
His personal views as to the result Of
the attempt to repeal the law, he
refused to give but added everybody
knew he was q friend Of the silver
metal. Senator Harris and Senator
Voorhees,, chairman of the : finance
committee, had long conference
yesterday, during which it is supposed
they mapped out plan for the work
of that committee. Mr.. Harris
believes there will be great many
measures introduced and that the
majority will be in the nature o.
compromises looking 10 the increase
of ratio, with provision for the free
coinage of silver.
