He Presides at the Feast of the Locomotive
Engineers Benevolent Society, in Lon-
don.
London, Dec. 5. The Hon. Thomas
+. Bayard, United States Ambassador,
presided at dinner which was given
last evening in aid of the fund Of the
Locomotive Engineers Benevolent So
ciety.
Mr.. Bayard was enthusiastically re-
ceived when he rose to address the as
semblage. He declared that he could
say in all sincerity that he had never
attended dinner in England with such
warm sympathy. There was no party,
there were no national distinctions
there. He dwelt upon the international
dependence of different callings of So
ciety, accentuating the indissGluble tie
of humanity the world over, and de-
claring that while parties and forms
of government might be useful, the sense
of human brotherhood was stronger
and better than all else. He would he
glad, he said, if he could be able to do
anything to create better feeling
among the different classes. If the
hand workers could realize the feelings
of the brain workers toward them it
would make Britain stronger and better.
Several members of Parliament and
a number of representatives of American
trade we're present.

Forced tn Run Around the Cape of Good
Hope During Trip from swansea to san
Francisco-One nj the Gales Was Re-
volving Hurricane and lasted 90 Hours.
San Francisco. Cal, Dec. 6. The
British ship Reliance, which has ar
rived here 100 days from Swansea, had
a frightfully rough passage. She was
in three hurricanes, two of which shift
ed her cargo of coal, had man killed
at sea, and was forced to run around
the Cape Of Good Hope.
The Reliance left Swansea on June
9th, and four days later a heavy
northwest gale came up. 1t caught the
ship off Cane Clear. and ragged with
fury for ~ hours. The ships cargo
shifted during the storm, but fortun-
ately the wind died down from its hur-
ricane force and the crew trimmed
cargo.
OFF the river Platte, the ship was
caught in second hurricane and part
of her rigging was carried away.
Her third experience with heavy
weather was south of New Zealand,
where revolving hurricane was en-
countered. 1t started from the north
east and died away Sc hours later from
a nearly opposite quarter. 1t blew the
hardest from the westsouthwest in re-
volving, and only the most careful sea-
manship saved the vessel.

Routine Business Transacted at Thurs

AT the meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the State Insane Hospital Thurs
day bill for 1888. "a was received from
Carroll r. Williams of Philadelphia,
attorney for NJ. Ii. Dickerson, archi-
tect of that city. Accompanying the
bill was letter requesting payment
of the money, and the intimation was
given that il it was not paid it would
be collected by law. The matter was
rcferred to the committee on buildings
and grounds, which will probably re-
port at the next meeting Mr., Dicker-
son recently prepared plans for the pro-
posed new buildings, but according to
his specifications the buildings could
not be put up for the money appro-
priated for that purpose. a Accordingly
the plans were revised twice.. and each
time bids were received, but still they
were not what the board wanted and
they finally decided that the plans were
Of no use to them, and the members
claim that according to the advertise
ments for the plans they are not bound
to pay Dickerson anything, as the ad-
yertisement stated that only such plans
would be paid for as were acceptable
to the board, and as they were not
acceptable the members think they are
under no obligation to the Philadel'
phia architect.
l.. r. Springer, architect, presented
bill for $500 for services rendered as
per agreement made with DIR. Richard
son. This bill, too, was referred to
the committee on buildings and
grounds. Accompanying Mr.. Springer 8
bill was a proposition to prepare plans
and superintend the construction of
new buildings such as are desired by
the board for $500. No action was
taken on the proposition.

That French stallion.

A Mill Creek hundred farmer stated
to a reporter of The Gazette Saturday
morning that the French stallion
which the farmers of that vicinity
contemplate buying for breeding pur-
poses has not yet been purchased. The
figure, So, 600, was considered too high,
but it was the opinion that if it could
be secured for $1,000 an association
would be formed and the animal pur-
chased. Several meetings have been
held and about 80 of the farmers have
manifested great interest in the move
ment. At the last meeting the SER
vices of an attorney were called in, and
he was instructed to make thorough
investigation and report to the prospec-
tive purchasers.

secret of England,. Financial supremacy.

Secret of EngIand's Financial Supremacy.
Nj. Paul Leroy Beaulieu in December Forum.
If the United States are to attain
a commercial aud still more financial
position, equal to that of England, the
dollar must be given the qualities of
the pound sterling that is, there must
be no sort of doubt that it is gold
dollar, and that never for any reason
or under any pretext that which is
called dollar shall be paid in silver.
Then all nations will have the same
faith in the dollar that they have in
the pound sterling. AS the United
States have territory infinitely more
vast than that of England, territory
full of the most varied resources and in
which capital can find great oppor-
tunities OF profit, that country will be-
come the chosen and for the capital of
the whole world The old nations,
with narrow territory already almost
completely in use, such as besides
Great Brittany France, Belgium,
Switzerland and recently Germany-all
these strenuous producers of savings
that theysno longer know how to EN-.
ploy, will direct their overflowing
capital toward the United States. All
that is lacking is a completely solid
monetary system to enable the Ameri
can people to profit by a large part of
the capital accumulated in such enor-
nous quantities by the old nations Of
Europe. At the present moment through
out Europe, and even in France, pru-
dent people try to have part of their
fortune in pounds sterling, because it
is known that pounds sterling are the
only true money, that is to say, money
that is not exposed to change by new
legal arrangements. 1t is not known
exactly what the dollar will be, or the
mark, or even the franc. The whims
of Legislators may change them in the
future, as they have changed them in the
past. On the contrary there is rooted
confidence among men engaged in
finance the world over, that the pound
sterling will always be piece of gold
of 7 grammes and 9SS milligrammes,
GIG. 66 fine, and that England will never
commit the blunder of putting gold
and silver on the same footing as
money. Thus the pound sterling, all
the world through, especially when long
contracts are to be made, is not only
the money par excellence; it is the only
money, and in it alone can be placed
almost absolute confidence.
