The New Bond Issue and It's Eject ON
the Currency.

the Currency.
LONDON, November 16.-In its financial
article this morning the Times says:
The effect of the American loan on our
money market promises to be very small.
1t will probably prevent the gold flow
from America to Europe, but can hardly
attract much gold from Europe. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the American
public will not draw gold from the treas
ury to buy the bonds. The whole device
of gold loan is calculated to bring gold
from the boards lying in California and
other western states. This new issue will
tend to increase the worlds effective gold
supply. first by freeing boards Of gold, and
second, by increasing the note issues so
eccnomizing the. use of greenbacks and all
government currency upon which rest the
governments promise to pay in gold.

KEEL OF THE CHARLESTON.

In Il Bad Condition and One InTOIv-
ing Serious Consequences.
San Francisco, July 26.-The Exam
iner says: Just why there should be SO
much secrecy in and about the stone
dry dock at the Mare Island navy yard
and on board the United States cruiser
Charleston, which rests on its keel
within the dry dock, has been the sub
iect of much wonder. The real cause
is the fact that the keel of the cruiser
has been found to be in a bad cOndi-
ton, and one involving serious conse-
ouences. had not the trouble been dis
covered by Naval Constructor Armis-
ted The keel bolts or rivets have be-
come corroded and eaten away to a
depth varying from one-eighth to one
half of an inch directly amidships, and
in some instances the eorrosion is 50
bad that on picking away the outer
rust, water from the inner hull came
dripping through.
Corroded rivets which have passed
their time of usefulness can be found
fully one-half the length of the keel.
The exact cause of the corrosion and
the results to be expected therefrom is
a question of opinion among naval peO-
pie. There are those who claim it to be
due to inferior material used in the
rivets, while others proclaim it to be
the result of inattention, an INSULT
Gent amount of paint to protect the
rivets from the action of the water.
| Despite all the secrecy exercised,
! these facts have come to light, and at
present a force Of riveterS is working
overtime boring out the rusted and
| honey-combed rivets and replacing
them with the best steel obtainable.

End of the Latest Idiocy.

Washington, July 26-Large and in
dignant delegations from the indus
trial armies encamped at South Wash
ington applied at the room of the House
Committee on Labor today, not to urge
their bills but to plead for assistance.
The expected has happened. Their
leaders had deserted them. and they
sought congressional aid to return to
the localities whence they had come.
Coxey's men said their leader had
left them in the lurch yesterday.
Kellys men averred that their leader
had drifted away several days ago, and
that they did not expect to see him
again, while F7ry's men said their leader
had probably abandoned them.
The men who were brought from the
Pacific coast by Kelly were particu-
larly indignant, and expressed fervid
desire to tar and feather their general.
Mr.. Mccain told them there was not
the slightest chance of a government
appropriate for their return, and sent
them to the local superintendent of
charities

Bryan, which endorsed the platform of
the National Democratic convention
heartily and unfalteringly, endorsed
the course Of that true patriot, the
president of the United States, Grover
Cleveland, for his manly and uncom-
promising fight for tariff REFORM and
demanded that nominees of this con-
vention shall be in full accord with the
president on party principles and give
to him their unconditional support and
shall be sound on tariff reforms.
The resolution was referred to a COM
mittee which reported d substitute.
mildly advocating tariff reform. The
substitution was adopted, after a
stormy debate, during which the
names of Senators German and Gibson
were Missed.
In his speech, Mr.. Bryan eulogized
Mr.. Cleveland, and spoke in the Sc
verest terms of the people who had be
trayed the party. The chief antagonist
of Mr.. Bryan was Mr.. Charles S. Car
rington, Senator Gibson's law partner.
The greatest confusion prevailed and

Romantic History of a SON of the

Besolow, 26, son of the late King Ar
nah, of the Vol tribe in Africa, who
was converted to Christianity and fled
escape the wrath of his people, has
been notified of his reinstatement to
the throne He sails tomorrow from
New York on the steamer Lucania for
England, where he will visit Queen
Victoria and deliver a course of lee
lures before going to Africa.
His father was great trader. In
1876 he sent his son and heir to the
coast to learn the English language,
that he might act as an interpreter
with other traders. While there the
boy met American missionaries and
was converted to Christianity The
father died broken hearted and the Lii
berian government appointed Armah' S
brother, Dualausaw, to the throne.
The boy came to this country, and
after a course of private tutoring en-
tered Wilbraham academy. At the be-
/ ginning of his junior year, the coloniZ-
alton society notified the prince that
they had decided not to educate any
more Africans, as the plan was fail
ure, and they advised him to return
to Africa.
! He refused to go, and worked his
way through the academy by doing
chores and giving lectures.
! In 1892 he entered Williams college.
/ Five months ago he came to this city
since which time he has spoken in
many churches. Recently he was no.
/ titled that his uncle had lost his in
/ f1uence over the tribe and his country
| is impoverished by wars. His people
are clamoring for his return and he
accordingly, decided to go.
His first purpose is to Christianize
his people and when that is accom-.
plished he expects to return to Ameri.
ca to complete his education.

ALL IN BAD HEALTH.
Ordered Home-Status of the Re
fugees on Board the Vessel.


Ordered Home-Status of the Re
fugees on Board the Vessel.
Washington, July 26.-The reason for
the rather unexpected order for the re-
turn of the Bennington, is the bad
state of the health of the officers and
the crew. The Isthmian fever has ap-
peared on board, and suddenly began
to spread in an alarming fashion The
surgeon of the ship contracted the dis
ease, and it was necessary to employ
local physician to attend the sick.
At present, nine men are i'll, and it was
felt to be an unwarranted exposure of
the health and the lives of the ships
company to keep the vessel longer in
such an unhealthy port as La Libertad
at this season.
1t is positively stated here that the
movement of the vessels does not, in
any way, affect the status of the
refugees abroad the vessel. and that
matter will be adjusted hereafter on
it's merits. Unless a determination is
reached by the date of arrival of the
Bennington at San Francisco, the refu-
gees will not be permitted to land. The
number of these refugees has been re-
duced from about eighteen to four,
General Antonio Ezeta and three of
his staff. The others were permitted
to leave the ship on their own request,
and having made terms with the pro-
visional government of Salvador AT
present, there is a hitch in the nego-
tiations looking to the position OF
Ezeta and his staff.
Dr. Guzman has. received credentials
as Salvadorian minister, and is daily
caller at the state department, pre-
pared to present and push his appli-
cation for Ezeta's extradition, but he
has not been presented to the president
in his new capacity nor has he been
recognized.
To do this, would be to recognize
tn, SaIvadorian provisional GO m
maat. from whom he received hi. q e
dentiaIs. and this cannot be done unit
a favorable report is received from
United States Minister Baker, who is
said to be i'll in Nicaragua.
Ex-Governor James Campbell, Of
Ohio. is here as counsel for Ezeta, wher
his case comes up.

Washington, July Ex-senator Villas,
who was secretary of the interior, and
later postmaster-g general during Mr..
Cleveland's first administration, replied
today to Senator Germans attack upon
the president.
For two hours he held the floor, amid
the wrapt attention of the Senate and
galleries. delivering his scathing rebuke
of the Maryland senator.
He denounced Mr. Germans assault
as wanton, reckless and Unjustifable,
and though he declared Mr.. Cleveland
needed no defense at his hands, he took
up. seriatirn, the charges made by Mr..
German and met them with mastery
skill and logic.
He made his statement, he said, in the
snterest of truth and history.
Mr. German was not in the Senate at
the time, and to this fact the Wisconsin
senator called attention with regret
In conclusion, he euiogized the per-
ssonal character and public integrity OF
Mr.. Cleveland in the most glowing
terms, declaring, with dramatic ferVor

that Aessrs. German, Brice and Smith

caucus had decided to agree to a fur
