THERE is something very significant in
the dispatch from Berlin, which says
that the emperor admitted to Csprivi
that the Gar was set upon having the
tariff, lately submitted by him to the
German premier, ratified. William de-
clsred that unless it was they would
have had war with Russia in three
months. If the German government
ratified the treaty under such threat,
there may be real candor in William's
oft-repeated declaration that he wanted
peace.

The Pacific Insurance union has had
trouble with some of it's members which
threatens to break up the com animation
that has caused the people of the cities
of California to pay much higher rates
than other cities of the same classes
in the United States. The difficulty
has arisen about the methods of doing
business by some OF the companies in
Oakland. 1t seems that the agents
there would allow much higher rebates
on the schedule rates than elsewhere,
by increasing the commission beyond
the 20 per cent limit and giving the in
surers the benefit of the increase. This,
OF course. cut deeply into the business
OF the old established agencies. The
Pacific coast business of all fire COM
panies for 1898 was $11 ,304, 11S; the
losses paid amounted to $5,000,000.
This would leave more than half the
receipts for expenses and divi-
dends. The regular customer is en-
titled to some of this profit in tie
shape of lower rates.

The newspaper reporters of San Fran
cisco, who form the great bulk of the
membership of the Press club OF that
city, are indignant. An article ap-
peared in the Chronicle, which excused
the management of the midwinter fair
in requiring the news gstherers to have
their faces photographed on their passes,
4 la Chinese registration certificates, be-
cause they are 80 disreputable class
that they make practice of lending
their franks to persons who are not en-
titled to the entree. The club intends
to summon Mike before the club. of
which he is member, to explain.

The collision between French and
British troops near the border line Of
Sierra Leone and Senegal may lead to
strained relations between the two home
governments. The first attack was
made at night, and there was considera-
BE bloodshed. The French officer de-
clared that it occurred through mistake,
and that in the darkness they failed to
recognize the English uniform and
thought they we're fighting hostile ma
tives. But since then there has been
another attack, and the English are
naturally growing FESTIVE under this re
petition. The fact is that the bounda-
ries between the two colonies have never
been well defined, AMI there is large
stretch OF disputed territory which is
claimed by both the powers. 1t is very
probable that a reason exists in this

AMUSE MENrs.

Los ANGELES THEATER. The arrival
OF the young star tragedisn Lawrence
Hsnley, in Los Angeles, accompanied by
his bride, well known here as Edith
Lsmmert, has created something OF a
sensation, and there is no end OF curl
osity expressed by those who desire to
see the couple in one of the plays OF
their repertoire. The opportunity will
be given at this theater on the Goth and
2lst instants, when Mr.. Hanley will
present his favorite and successful
drama The Player.
The Louisville Courier-J ournal OF re-
cent date Gays: Mr.. Lawrence Hanley,
who is one of the latest among the am
bilious young actors eager to wear the
mantle OF the great artists now all gone,
made his appearance at Masonic Tenn
pie theRter yesterday afternoon and
evening. The audiences were very en-
thusiastic. They quickly warmed to
the young star, and as the various
scenes of the piece, revealing Mr.. Han
ley's versatility were presented, it was
apparent that he grew constantly in the
favor OF his auditors. The Player is a
novel Encouragement of the comedy in
which oil the great tragsdisns of later
years have loved to display the mirthful
side of their nature. AS written by B.
Msrsden for Mr.. Hanley, one act of
Hamlet in which the noted Gustavus
Brooke taken the part of the prince, is
given. This provides the young actor
an opportunity to appear in the crucial
and coveted role. 1t ia the third, con-
tanning the scene between Hamlet
and "Ophelis," and the scene with the
players. Mr.. Hanley acquitted himself
with great credit. His Hamlet" was
an earnest, energetic, pleasing per-
Torrance. He is a handsome, grace
full, athletic young man, with an intelli-
gent, mobile face and clear, strong
voice, which he uses with much dis
erection. In the subsequent acts, intro
ducing the actor into the company of
the old banker and his associates, Mr..
Hanley was very agreeable performer.
He brought out the humor OF the situa-
tions, as we'll as the deeper feelings,
when the almost tragic circumstances OF
the young girls experience confronted
him.
Mr.. Hanley has started we'll on his
starring career, and industry and per-
severance will bring him to an honor
able and secure position.

HARD TIMES.

Times are always hard when money
is scarce, and good when money is
plenty. This is rule that everybody ia
familiar with from having heard it enun-
ciated a thousand times. 1t is supported,
likewise, by reason and experience.
Nothing more certainly comes under the
observation of people than the condition
of the money market, for it concerns
their everyday like. We are accus-
toned to say times are tight, or flush,
depending upon the volume of money
ahoat in the country. That ia the cri-
terion by which prosperity in bust
ness is determined. In flush times,
or when money is plenty, bust
ness is lively, and business is
dull when money is hard to get.
Money, we cay, makes the mare go; it
turns the factory wheels, it drives the
pillow and Yields the tools of the me-
chsnic. Money is indispenss BILE in
civilized community; without it the
machinery of civilization stops, or is, at
least, fesrfully retarded.
The limited amount of money in pro-
portion to population is just the diff
Guilty in this country at the present
time. The amount per capita would be
extremely small even if all that has been
issued and not redeemed were in circu
lation; but the fact and the truth u.s..
only small part of the money that is
counted as issued is in actual use. By
one act of congress or another, and step
by step for the last quarter Of century,
the volume of money in the United
States has been restricted and reduced,
until at last the dearth of it is almost
unprecedented The last step in this
remarkable process was the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, thus putting stop entirely to the
coinage of silver dollars. Simultane-
ously with that event, and ever since.
the banks have been with great unsnim-
ity calling in their loans and hoard
ing up as much as possible of
their money. There ia much in
this movement tending to show
concert of action among the banks, and
the presumption is strong that instruc-
tions on the subject have gone forth
from the American Bankers' association
Cor association of bankers having its
headquarters in New York, by whatever
name called,) directing this policy of
contraction on the part of members of
the association throughout the whole
country.
1t has been suggested that their aim
is to create such an irresistible demand
for more money that congress will be
compelled to yield to their plan for the
retirement of the greenbacks and per-
uniting the banks to issue all the paper
money of the country. In connection with
permitted to issue their notes upon the
deposit of state, city, corporation or
such other bonds as may be approved
by the comptroller of the currency. A
recent report of committee or sub
committee of congress on the repeal of
the state bank tax looks strongly in the
direction indicated. Should such con-
cessions be made to the banks there
would no doubt follow an issue OF money
by them sufficient for the requirements
of business, and we should have, for
period, flush times again. Whether
good times will come sooner, or in any
other way, is now the problem before
the American people.

IT is now said that the success of the
experiments to run canal boats by cleo
tricity taken from the wires by trolley
in the boats have been hindered by the
difficulty of holding the trolley in place
when turning the sharp curves. One
would think that the curves on canals
would offer no more difficulty than they
do to the cars that operate around street
corners. They must have struck some
thing worse than curves on the Erie
canal to make their experiments unsuc-

From all quarters of the globe have been

The window is that of NJ. German, the w ell

precious stones. This collection comprises
every gem known. They have been gathered
from all corners of the globe, and include some
magnificent specimens.
Prominent among the different stones are
the opals, of which Mr.. German has a mag
nifcent display. 1t is pity that the popu-
larity of this beautiful stone should have been
injured by any supsrstittion. It seems in
credible that any inanimate object should be
thought to have any powers for either luck or

The game OF baseball between the clubs
OF Richmond College and Randolph Macon
College yesterday afternoon was unques-

and but for the pronounced kicking OF the
visitors the large number Of rooters in

satisfied with the manner in which the
players acquitted themselves on both
sides.
Randolph-NIacon, by excellent outheld
work and steadiness Of playing, won
victory by a score Of 10 3. the Spiders
scoring only In the fourth inning when
they got I'm all their runs. Ellyson occu
pied the box for the home team, while
Robertson. the man with the blonde
tresses, tossed the sphere for the visitors.
Both men did unusually good work, and
We're backed by excellent team work.
Randolph Macon fought hard for the vic
tory which they secured through errors
by Upper and AGREE. who let in three
runs by this means.
