SURPRISED TIE LEADERS.
Republican Yearly EnroIlment Last
Night Very Light

The yearly enrolment of Republican
voters was held last night. The apathy
that was shown surprised the several
ward leaders, who anticipated that the
places of enrolment would be crowded
with men of their own party and bolting
Democrats from the time of opening un-
I'll the close.
The enrolment was light, so much so
that had it not been for the fact that pre-
cinct workers vouched for the names of
voters who fafled to appear, the total
would have been lower than it has any
time in the last five years. The light en-
rollment is taken as an evidence that it,
tie or no interest is exhibited in the nonn-
inetion of men for the local offices to be
filed this fall.

TO 0BEoK THE TIDE OF GOLD,
~ Cable o tIae United press.

LONDON. Sept. TO- 1sss.-The Directors
Of the Bank of England have advanced
the banks rate of discount from 2 per
cent. to 21z per cent. This is the first
time that the bank has increased its dis
count rate since February 2, 1884, The
action Of the directors Of the bank was
unexpected and is regarded as a pre-
cautionary measure having the effect to
check the. drain Of gold to the United
States and the Continent. The innne-
date effect of the announcement of the
increase was to cause a decline on the
Stock Exchange of consols, home railway
shares and American railroad stocks.
1t IS learned by the United Associated
Presses that the advance in the Bank of
England's rate of discount was the re-
suit of decision on the part of the di-
rectors OF. the bank to stop the sudden
outflow of gold to Russia and Austria
rather than to the United States The
rate of private discount followed the bank
rate. Little business was done, how
ever. few bills being offered for dis
count.
