'HURSDAY, Oct. 22,

The long-eIpected advance in the min imum
rate of discount of the Bank OF England oc-
Cured to-day. The rate was advanced from 3
TO II cent. AS the open market ratio OF dis
count in London has ruled Mt u cent. or better
for some little time past and constant and
heavy withd rawnls OF gold have been made from
the Bank of England chiefly for export to the
United States, the advance in the Bank rate
took no one BY surprise. The London market
for securities both domestic and foreign. showed
that the change in the Bank rate had been dis
counted. 1t caused a slight but only temporary
depression in prices on the London stock Ex-
change and resulted in unimportant sales here
by foreign arbitrage houses. 1t became plain
soon after the opening OF business that the ad-
vance in the rate had been discounted, and In
consequence traders who sold stocks yesterday
and this morning at once betrayed anxiety to
recover them.
The speculative situation was also strength
ened by the receipt of S1,sl0.0o0 gold from
abroad OF which 5000. 900 was deposited in the
Sub-Treasury in exchange for legal notes, and
t,y the dr!!nitc announcement that the transit
lantic steamer sailing from Liverpool yesterday
for this port took out S3,"0o,000 gold. II was
also announced that S2.375,000 gold WAS re-
reived at San Francisco to-day from Aus
tralia ard that IA similar amount has been
ordered from the same quarter and Ia due to AR
rive at san Francisco on Nov. 10. The Import
movement of gold from NIL countries to all ports
OF the United States now foots up about S7l.-
600, 900. The market price in London for gold
bullion declined I'd. to-day, 70 TIE. lid. the
transfers o. currency to the interior through
the Sub-Tr-Hsury was smaller than for some
days past being only $4,000.
During the last hour or business on the Stock
Exchange prices yielded, under professional
selling that was stimulated by u further sharp
decline In the price OF wheat and the circulation
of rumorS that the Chicago money market had
become exceedingly stringent. 1t was
ported that rates for money at the centre
named had advanced TO 10 y cent. per
annum. Not until after tho close OF busi-
ness did the Street learn that the ruling rates
for money Az Chicago are 6GI7 Il cent. and that

sHREWD sWINDLING SCHEMES.
Operations of New York Band
brought to Light.

Brought to Light,
The attempted suicide of May Vintage
a miss of seventeen years, In a furnished
room In Brooklyn, followed by the arrest
of her lover, Edward Valentine has
brought to light the operations of the
shrewdest gang Of swindlers who ever
| worked in New York city
The girl made an attempt upon her life
after warrant had been issued charging
her with having passed worthless check
upon Brooklyn dry goods merchant
After she had partially recovered she told
the authorities that the check had been
given to her by Valentine. He was ar
rested and is now in Jail.
Valentine, In the hope of saving himself,
has made a confession to District Attor-
ney Backus, in which he tells m detail
prominent members were big Ed. Rice,
Charles H. Abbott. c. H. Mclaughlin, H.
K. White, Isaac Heidenheimer. Rolindale
Smith, Walter B. Peters Willis Connors
up in New York, Connors in Flint, Mich
and Peters in Chicago.
Thus far only one Of the schemes of the
gang has been made public, VIZ: Their
forging operations. by which they swipdled
small western business men. But that
was really only q side issue. They saw
last summer that in consequence Of the
tight money market forged paper could
be easily fioated, provided the names of
those on the paper had a rating with the
commercial agencies.
At this stage of the proceedings Chas. H.
Abbott, who had operated with the gang
In other fields, appeared with a bright
idea. He was the junior member Of the
firm OF John H. Baker & Co., forwarding
cured high rating. Upon the strength
of this rating Abbott set to work and made
out the firms notes for probably $3.50, 600.
These notes were given to the members Of
" inc poffn 70
them outside the city.
At least $4,000 Of the notes were sold in
phi liza I!'6i Other notes were disposed
Valentine and McLoushlin made 50 much much
money last summer that they leased cot
tages at Long Branch and lived like mil
lionaires. They drove fast horses, and
Valentine even went to the extent of leas-
his companion.
Emboldened by their success the gang
became reckless. They set to work to
pass small forged checks in New York
city and Brooklyn. and this proved their
downfall. Abbott has ruined the firm Of
]. H. Baker & Co. MIR. Baker is man
well adv. Ss in years s. He said yester;
Abbott Abbott entirely; supposing him to be an
nership and after using the firm name as a
dollars Abbott has disappeared. It is
| claimed that merchants. manufacturers and
| farmers have lost $500, 900 by the opera
| tons of this gang. They are said to have
been the promoters Of two or three f1cti-
| tious companies one called the Standard
Coal and Oil Company, and also of a bank
| ing concern. which they used as a decoy
| 1t is said that the gang bought on notes
| and then sold for cash, sacrificing the ma
terial they had secured Tor anything they
| could get for It. A faTorite scheme was
| to get possession of bicycles from manu-
| facturers and jobbers and then to rattle the
| wheels or sell them at q great sacrifice =,

HANNA A GUEST.
Anti-Platt Republicans Hold a Meet

Anti-PIntt Republicans Hold a Meet
ing.
The committee on organization of the Nc
Kinley League, the state republican organi-
cation which opposes the faction led by
ex-senator Plat, held a meeting in New
York last night which was made notable by
the presence of Chairman Hanna of the
republican national committee. Warner
Miller, John Milholland and T. V. PowdeIly
were among those who took part in the
proceedings. The president Of the league.
Mr.. George Mathews of Buffalo, spoke of
Mr.. Hanna as one under whose leadership
the forces of honesty and Amerlcantsm
have won the greatest victory that the
people of this country have known since
AppomattoX."
In response Mr.. Hanna caid:
Il wish that l had time to give to you
workers something of the details of the
last campaign. You in the cas-, except
those who Rave been at work in the field
can know but little about the work in the
western states and beyond, and therefore
can judge properly what this battle has
been. l have been more than gratifei since
coming to New York to hear the Kind eX-
p1essions on all sides. OF course, it touches
a mans vanity, and it did mine. But 1t
went deeper than that; ii has touched my
heart; and wnen / look into the earnest
faces around me / begin to fully appreciate
that every man in this room IS upon the
side of honest government and, in The eff
forts put forth in this great campaign, he,
among many, has been patriot, and none
more SO than the members of the Nc
kinley League of the state of New York.
l desire to make use of this opportunity.
then, to thank you from my heart for your
hearty cooperation, and to hope that as
you are TO pursue the lines of your work in
the future that yoI will be guided entirely
by those patriotic feelings, and do what
ever is best for the good Of our party and
our country, without regard to personali-
ties. 1 judge a mans patriotism by the
sacrifices he has made. Let that be your
motto under whatever banner you work for
the future and you will find N me stead
fast frierd"

The democratic congressional committee
had a great quantity of MANILA envelopes
for sending out documents left over after
the closing of the campaign, and these
have found their way into junk shop CT
the city to be turned over to the paper
mills. The committee sent out so many of
its speeches in bulk that it did not use the
envelopes 1t had ordered for the purpose Of
mailing documents to individuals through
out the country. This rendered useless
thousands of envelopes which had been
paid for from the limited fund expended
by the committee.
