NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Shipments or
gold this week aggregated $5,267,6 600
They had no weakening influence upon
sterling exchange and it is currently
believed that an intermittent outward
movement of the precious metal Will
now occur. The two large shippers
this week are known to have made
their engagements reluctantly. but
were compelled to send the gold to
fulfill their mercantile obligations.
The street expects that at least as
much gold will be shipped next week.
Treasury officials admit that all pres
ent indications point to further eX-
port from week to week, but profess
to believe that the volume will be linn
tied to the amounts necessary to cover
the deficiency in the supply of COM
nercial bills, which at present IS
light. They expect that the amount
of gold to so out will be compare
lively light until after the Christmas
holidays. What will happen AFTER
ward they do not care to discuss
The gist of the matter is very simple.
The American people owe money In
Europe. On account of these debts
our exports of merchandise are duly
credited. If. however. these exports
are insufficient in value to meet the
requirements. gold must be sent in
settlement of the balance The Oc-
tober statement of our foreign trade,'
published today, shows that while our
exports increased to a small extent.
our imports of merchandise were
greatly swelled. the result being that

The Official returns from all pre-
cincts in the territory are now in, and
the Utah commission will commence
the work of eanvassing tomorrow
morning.
While the result on the state ticket
will not be materially changed, it is
believed that the official canvass will
cut down Aliens majority very ma
terially as compared with the claims
made by Republicans.
There is one matter Of great impor-
lance to the city that wiz come up.
AS everyone knows, the returns as an
nounced show The election of eight Re-
publican and seven Democratic coun-
cilmen, giving the former a majority
of one-juSt enough to control all the
patronage.
1t is also well known that the vote
between Stewart, Republican, and Pat
rick, Democrat, in the Fourth precinct
was very close, the returns giving the
former a majority of only seven or
eight. Now the claim is made and on
good authority, that a mistake Of
seven or eight votes in favor of Stew
art was made, and that wiNn the cam
Vass is made it will dis
close the fact that Patrick
really has majority. ne pIODdpll-
fly of this result and the grounds on
7. which the claim is based are familiar
- members of both parties in that
STrecinct and has been discussed for
some days past.
The immense Importance of the
matter will be seen at a glance, and
great interest viii be attached to that
part of the canvass. Whether or not
the grounds for The contest are
sound remains to be seen. but it is ex-
pected that such a showing will i've
made as will justify the board IN
counting the ballots.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia local paper
says:
The "gentlemen's agreements exist
ing between the manufacturers OF
barbed wire and wire nails are in dam
ger. At meeting of the barbed wire
men yesterday their agreement came
very close to a disruption A truce was
patched up in consequence of which
the break in the prices of their product
which was expected did not occur.
But the opinion is expressed that the
peace will not be permanent.
Barbed wire has advanced from So
to 90 cents a hundred pounds since
last spring. Most of the manufacturers
in the country work together under an
arrangement which they insist is in
no way a pool or combine and which
in it's practical results serves to MAIN
tain prices. Various attempts were
made to get the outsiders to accent
the terms of the agreement. They met
with no f1attering success. The meet
ing called for yesterday was to make
final report.
One of the heaviest manufacturers in
the country went into the meeting
with the avowed purpose of breaking
the agreement He was in favor OF
everybody doing business wide OPEN
as ne phrased it. The announcement
of his purpose was the signal for
verbal battle without parallel in pre-
vious meetings 1t finally ended in
all but one or two of the outsiders
agreeing to stand with the rest in
maintaining prices and the pEacating
of the big manufacturer.
a similar state of affairs, it was said
existed among the wire nail manufac-
turerS.

GREAT CONSIDERATION.
News of the Massacre Received ut
Boston.


BOSTON, Nov. 16-News of the
massacre at and the devastation of the
American mission at Kharput was
received at the rooms of the American
board of foreign mission commission
ers here through the Associated Press,
and the announcement caused the
greatest CONSERVATION, as the Kharput
mission was not only one of the most
prosperous and successful. but was also
considered the most secure from the
trouble.
The board gives the Associated Press
the following particulars concerning the
kharput mission: The buildings de
stroyed are those of the American
board. Kharput is 200 miles southwest
of Erzeroum and about twenty miles
west of the Euphrates. It is the cen
ter of a large number of villages COW
ering an extended plain, and consti-
tuting the only section of Armenia
where the Armenians can fairly claim
to constitute a majority of the popu-
lation. The city itself has a large
Turkish population, but the place is
almost entirely Armenian. 1t is the
seat of Euphrate college. Fifteen out
stations lie within ten miles of the
city. The Arabkir field on the west
was joined to Kharput in 1865, and the
following year the larger part of the
Diarbekir field on the south. so that
now the limits of the Kharput station
embraces a district nearly one-third
as large as New England.
The first missionary to occupy this
station was Mr.. Dunnmore in 1855. He
left after three years, and during the
civil war in America he became chap
lain in the army and was killed. The
first church was formed in Kharput in
1856 with two members Now there are
twenty-five churches, which have a
membership of more than 5000 per-
sons

that when the next school election was

nominate MIR. Hanson, but had decided
to nominate Mr.. Treweek. When the
Democrats learned this. Mr. B. T.

Mr.. Treweek, but Mr.. Hanson having
received a majority of all the votes
cast was declared the nominee of the
