CHECK FOR 20 MILLIONS.
,Chtnese-Japanese Negotiations at
the Bank OF England.
From the Philadelphia Record.

EIOIu ln0 GulldQGlpuld IAGEOTQs
I An unpretentious ceremony, which took
place at the Bank of England at II O'Clock
on Saturday morning, afforded striking
evidence of the fact that London is the
center of the monetary world Here were
assembled representatives of China and
Japan, the former to hand over and the
latter to receive a check for fi.9OOO00 odd,
the price of the evacuation of the Lao
Tung peninsula by the Japanese troops
within three months of such payment
The uninitiated might have anticipated
that the transaction would take place in
coin. and that the Japanese representa-
tives would take away their due in gold
in a four-Wheeled cab. Unfortunately,
however, there are material difficulties in
the way of such a primitive proceeding.
A million sovereigns weigh 256, $50 ounces
troy, which may be roughly taken at be-
tween seven and eight tons adVordupois
so that allowing a ton as a fair load, some
thirty-fVe vans would have been required
for the operation. The procedure adopt
ed was, therefore, much simpler. Mr.
Horace G. Bowen, the chief cashier of
the Bank of England, was present with
a check for a. 900 900. representing the gold
which had been paid into the bank to
China's credit. This check he handed to
China's representative, who with grave
bow, handed 1t over 70 Japan's represent
alive. who handed it back to Mr.. Bowen.
who in turn walked to another office and
paid ii into the credit Of the japanese
government, where II Wlll lie until drawn
against. A few weeks back a somewhat
similar procedure was gone through when
China paid fS0O0000 on account of the
t32.U0OOO0 due 70 Japan rs war indemnify
and thrice again, IL is presumed. these
gentlemen win meet at the bank and 20
through the same performance. OF the

There was a scene and a sensation at thd
calvary Baptist church (colored) on SUM
day, says the Louisville Times A "coyei
hant' or experience meeting tgas in proc
gress, and Sister Caroline. of some fifty
summers, had the floor. She began in tho
usual orthodox form of telling Of her per,
OF her personal grievances against Broth'

upon his arm had turned the course of her
remarks. Rev. Mr.. Parish attempted %
can her down. but she insisted on having
her say out. He sought to overcome kef
narangue with song, and gave out
hymn. She continued to talk against ting
overwhelming odds until her voice gave
way and she fell exhausted in the seat
Here IS the way she began her experience

Chicago, June 1.-The first of-the month was ushered in with sufferable heat and the same vein that they have been for several days Rain was what was needed, and It was rain that the country did not the neighborhood of the 90's and this cer- fainly was not the best thing in the world for wheat that has been exposed to so many vicissitudes. The curb price before the opening was firm and higher, and the regular trading during the session was at more or less of an advance over yesterdays close The trade was not large, nor was 1t much other than l9cal. There were some scalping kind. The country speculator %as notably absent today, and the theory that he has taken his profits and gone home finds many adherents. During the morn ing short but brisk shower of rain fell and the crowd showed their qualification covering later they forced a recovery. There was no English cables, this being a holiday in that country.
 BradStreet's reported exports of wheat and flour from both coasts for the week at 2,426,o0O bushels. July wheat opened closed at 79Ac, 5sc higher than yesterday Cash wheat was steady.
 Corn-There was not much of interest in corn today. Left to itself, to a great ex- tent, it Followed the action of wheat all though the large receipts, 9S12 cars, was a discouraging fact at the opening The closing frmness of wheat benefited corn at the end of the session July corn opened from B to 52}4c, declined to 52isc, closing at 627sc, 1sQAc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was about Ac lower, but closed firm Oats-It was altogether Saturday mar ket in oats. Prices were changed by the varying tones of wheat and corn The average feeling was steady. July oats closed 144ssc. higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady to firm.
 Provisions-An extremely moderate busi- ness was Transacted in product Tn fact there were times when they were quite neglected. The hog market was weak and lower and for that reason decline in product was excusable. July pork closed ID cents lower than yesterday, July lard 2ls cents lower and July ribs cents lower
 Domestic markets were quiet and easy.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.
