IGNORANCE OF DIPLOMACY.

Its Extent Among American Journalists
Wonderful, Says Rn English Paper.
LONDON, April 18.-The st. James
Gazette. commenting upon the latest
DEVELOPMENTS in the dispute between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, says:
There is wonderful ignorance of
diplomacy upon the part Of the Ameri-
can journalists. Why should we want
to lombard Greytown? If Nicaragua
has b.en SO foolish as to refuse to pay
the indemnity which, with the knowl-
edge of the United States. we
demanded, we shall take such
steps as the American government was
perfectly aware of at the time of ask
ing. The Monroe doctrine has been a
doctrine for 50 years and has not been
acted upon yet. When Great Britain has
serious d fferences to settle with South
American republics, it will not be pre-
vented from doing SO by anything but
settled international law"

TO DIZZY HEIGHTS
Oil Spectators at Pittsburg
Are Afraid to Trade at
Present Prices.
Mr.. KIRK PRoGNOSTICATES
The Present Boom Will Lift the
Country Out of the Finan-
cial Dumps.

P1TTsBURa, April 18.-OI has now
reached that dizzy height where specu-
lators are afraid to deal in it, and as a
result, there was not q sale on the Pitts
burg exchange during the first half
hour, while the sales ON the Oil City
exchange during the same period az.
gregated only 1000 barrels. The Stand
ard again put up it's price 25 cents, to
%. so, and May option was offered here
at the opening for $40. Cash oil was
offered at 81. &c. There were no buyers
and the price gradually dropped to
s269, then to $2.67, and at 1920 a. m.
81. 65 was bid. While many brokers
are predicting s. oil this week, few of
them have suffient faith in their own
prophecy to invest.
Will Help business.
David Kirk, one Of the best posted
men in the oil business, in discussing
the present boom in oil said:
petroleum will be the means of
bringing the country out of the period
of depression that has prevailed for the
past two years. That was the case in
1878 when our finances were at low
ebb. Oil made the first advance and
as it went up in price the business of
the country improved. The same was
rue in 1884
The Most Important Effect
of the increased price on the finances
of the country will be the increase in
the amount of gold brought into the
country in payment for the petroleum
we export. Oil is paid for in yellow
gold and is one of our most important
exports. We ship something like co.
600, 900 barrel annually, and with the
price hanging about so cents, the ag-
gregate receipts from this source only
amount to about $lO,0Oo,O0O. Now
with oil at the present price we would
receive something like $45, 900, 900 for
our exports. This would be clear gain
Of $50, 00O, 900 year, which would 60
towards offsetting the heavy exports OF
gold during the past two years.
"But that is not the only evidence
we have. There are other influences
ct work. There are Internal Improve
ments that are already here and will
continue to grow all the year. Our
manufacturers are already feeling the
boom. I think the oil interests will
use considerably more than twice as
much iron of all kinds this year as they
did last. This will give employment
to hosts of men who will become good
buyers and so create better market for
all kinds of merchandise, -

How 1t May Affect tn" Financial P rob-

ST. PAUL, April ia Washington
special to The Dispatch says: Some OF
the radical and no-compromise free
silver coinage men are now making a
startling claim. During the last week
story has become current that the
British under secretary of state to India
George N. Curzon, the future Lord
6carsdale, is bimetalist, and that he is
the probable successor of Balfour or
Chamberlain in the house of commons.
Curzon is coming here to wed Miss
Mary Letter next week, and it is said
that the union may have
Political Significance
which will have considerable bearing
on possible international monetary
conference and England's attitude in
regard to the matter. Unlike the ma
jority of the titled aristocracy who seek
matrimonial alliance in America,
Mr.. George Curzon is young
man of genius and talent. He
is a newspaper man Of rare
ability, the close friend of Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Balfour, and is closely
identified with the Conservative and
Liberal Unionist alliance. 1t is well
known that this element is in favor of
the conference, in fact it is said that a
rupture in the alliance between Con-
servatives and Unionists may result
from Mr.. Balfour's late utterances in
which he advocated some agreement
toward an international monetary
proposition, and England's position
with reference to it.
Too Many for the Tories.
George N. Curzon, during his stay in
India, wrote series of letters that at
tracted much attention. These letters
were published in the London Times
and the Rosebery ''set," to which the
Prince of Wales and the ultra elite in
social and political affairs belong, un-
dertook to call Mr.. Curzon down, but
the young man proved too many for
the tories, and has established reputa-
ton for leadership that promises we'll
in the future.
Mr.. Curzon has visited the United
States before, and it is said that he has
made very careful study Of the finan.
cial condition and independent relations
which exist between his government
and that of the United States. He
may not be a free silver man, as is
claimed by the radical element here,
but he is in advance of his day in Eng.
land, and foresees the inevitable by
predicting that international bimetal.
lism is the one and only method to
maintain peace and prosperity between
the great powers. His marriage in one
Of the wea1thiest American families
will add to the friendly feelings already
existing between the element he repre-
sents in English politics and the ele
ment which favors international agree
ment in the United States.

COUNTERFEITER'S TOOLS.
The Instruments Used by Dr. ". W. Wilson in Making Counterfeit Money
 Captured.

The GRAPHIC yesterday contained an article from the Gazett te giving all account of the arrest of Dr. W. w. Wilson, of Lincoln county, in Little Rock Saturday night for passing counterfeit money. Late yesterday afternoon Detective W. A. Clay, of this city, who has shadowed Wilson for some time, returned from the home of Wilson at Star City, where he captured all of the tools and in- struments. except the moulds, used by Wilson in making counterfeit money. In addition to the counter felt gold found on Wilson at the time of his arrest, it is also probable that he is the author of the counterfeit sil- yer dollars which have been circulated in this city so recently, and it is likely that he had coniederates in the busi- ness.
 Wilson had been acitizen of Lincoln county for about three years and practiced the profession of dentistry in Star City. Up until the time of his arrest and the disclosures which fol- lowed, Wilson has borne good name among his acquaintances. He is now in jail in Little Rock.
