The Wall Street Wizard on the Effect
of Il Gold Premium.

The diversity of opinion and the abund-
ance of prophecy induced by the continued
effiux of gold to Europe, said prominent
local banker several days ago, recalls a
series of heterogeneous propounded by a
well-known New York broker to several
influential members of the financial world
bordering on Wall street The period of
doubt and speculative anxiety which pre-
ceded the passage of the Sherman law was
productive of a variety of opinions on the
probable effects of a premium gold
Men Of equal intelligence differed widely
in their deductions. No self-respecting
financier could afford to miss the cppor-
tunity afforded for being interviewed on
this subject, and many and various were
the arguments employed in support OF we'll
conceived theories.
From the mass of contradictory evidence
the broker was unable to arrive at any
satisfactory conclusion and determined to
conduct "a series of interviews himself for
the purpose of making immediate and
profitable use of a future contingency. Ac
cordingly he asked the opinions of such
recognized authorities as George F. Baker,
president of the First National Bank;
Pierpont Morgan, Russell Sage and Addi-
son Cammack The answers of these gem
tlemen represented every phase OF the stu
alton from imitation to collapse, and no
two were alike.
A few days later he met Jay Gould al a
meeting of Western Union directors, both
men being members of the legislative board
of that company, ard in the course of con-
versatiOn asked the latter what would hap
pen If gold went to a premium. After
moments careful thought. in which the
great wizard reviewed past experiences and
the present situation, he replied: Il have
been a schemer and a Spectator all my
life. 1 have lived almost exclusively in an
atmosphere of. finance ard have been
conscientious student of the art of dis
counting impending events. To what pur-
pose have useCi the result Of my observa-
tons a comfortable fortune attests, but
you will find men by the dozen standing
around saloon bars with their shoes out at
the toes, and waiting to be asked to take
a drink who can answer your question bet
ter than 1, for I'll be ID If 1 know what
will happen"

OUTLOOK IN THE EAST.
Japanese Have Little Prospect OF
Reaching Pelfn.

Charles DENLY, jr., secretary of the
United States legation at Pekin, arrived in
New York Saturday on board the Paris
from Pekin on leave for the last three
months.
To a reporter for the Associated Press
Mr.. DENLY said: THE overwhelming defeat
OF the Chinese armies has been a great
surprise. However, l do not think the
prospects of the japanese army reaching
Pekin are very bright.
eff the troops went by land it would be a
long march of two or three hundred miles
around the Gulf of Pechili from their pres
ent situation, and it would take eighteen
ports to reach Taku, the seaport of Pekin.
And to take Taku would be a serious I'M
dertaking, for it is very strongly fortified.
This is the port where the British troops
met with reverse on one of their inva-
SionS of the country"
Mr.. DENLY thought the prospects of for
eigners getting away from Pekin in case
of sudden attack We're not very bright.
He said there was no distinction made in
the minds of the Chinese between nation
altieS. All foreign residents came under
the same head with them.
Mr.. DENLY was asked if he thought the
United States was well enough represented
by warShips in Chinese waters. He said:
There are more United States men-of-
war on the station row than there have
been for years. The Monocacy is there,
the Baltimore, Charleston and Concord are
on the station, and SO is the Petrol. though
the latter vessel is frozen up, where she
will likely stay until March. The Detroit
is also bound for China. l saw her at Port
Said when 1 was there
Mr.. DENLY declined to discuss the proba-
BILE effect of the war on China and Japan.
