A Corner on Gold.

A Washington special to a Chicago
daily says that the discovery that there
is an actual basis for the report that
the Morgan-Rothschild bond syndicate
is conspiring for the gold market has
been regarded as a foolish canard. 1t
is a fact, however, that brokers repre-
senting this syndicate have been pay
ing a premium for the refined gold out
put of the private refineries through
out the west during the last two
months and that they are accumulat-
ing fine gold at the rate af S2,500,000 to
So, 600, 900 per month. which represents
fully two-thirds of the entire gold out
put of the United States. The atten-
ton of officials of the treasury depart
ment was first attracted to this pecu-
liar business by the sharp falling off
in the deposits of gold at the mints
and inquiry soon developed that pri-
vate parties were buying the product
of the refinerieS.
Further inquiry revealed that the
metal was purchased and was drifting
to New York, where IL is being put in
store to the credit of the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate. In order to di-
vert the stream from its usual chan
nels leading into the United States
minis the private purchasers have been
obliged 10 pay a premium or 11sd11a

the gold was IS cents, but so anxious

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

The growlings of the Russian bear at
the Rising Sun of Japan are already
heard in the Orient. The events which
that acute Eastern traveller and stu
dent, Mr.. Henry Norman, prophesied
in his famous book have already cast
their shadows before. Mr.. Norman
predicted with emphasis that Japan
would not be peacefully permitted to
reorganiZe China, and that Russia
would eventually swallow the ten mill
ions of Manchurians. thus adding one

1t will, indeed, be surprising if Rus

shall not form land gra bling alliance
in the Orient with her Indian rival.
But that Russia will precipitate war
with Japan at once is incredible. The
Tsar might, perhaps, hope to surprise
the Japanese in an intoXication of
