that Mr.. Stevens had saved was spent. To
add to his trouble his wife and three children
died and he became disheartened. Some
time ago he wrote to his sister in this city,
with whom-he had maintained correspond
cncc, and told her of his destitution. She
urged him to come East and visit her, and,
if possible, she or her husband would find
something for him to do.
Years ago Mr.. Stevens had worked on a
farm in Hawleyville, u few miles west Of
here, and knew something about the coun-
try. 50 he determined to try it. Selling all
he had except a farm wagon and two fair
horses, he rigged up II canvas cover, placed
bed, a trunk, n sewing machine. wash
stand with drawers. and Il few other articles
in it, and started for Connecticut. He made
the journey through the West in comfort, but
when he reached Iowa his horses began
to feel the effects of the long trip.

"We have kept pace with Vermont and

SPAIN YIELDS.
Civil Court Trial For the Com

spected.

WASHINGTON, II. Sept. 16-The Span

OF the United States for Il trial 10y civil court
OF the Competitor prisoners. Authentic in
formation to this effect has reached the state
department unoilicially, and the formal an
nouncement is expected in the he xt mail from
minister Taylor in Madrid. The Spanish
government reached this conclusion some
time ago. but has delayed the formal an
nouncement of its decision until after the
Coltes adiourns, in order to escape criticism
from that body for making concessions to
the United States.
1t is u matter of considerable relief to the
authorities here to know that Spain has
found it eNpedient to comply with the de-
mands of the United States in regard to
these men. For sometime past it has been
considered one of the most troublesome
questions in dispute between the two coun-
tries. They will, however, watch with some
concern the effect of the decision in Spain
and among the Spanish in Cuba.
1t is understood that this acion will be u
great disappointment to general Weyler and
other Spaniards, who were anxious for the
execution Of the men as an example for
others engaged in tlibustering, but it is
hoped that this has served to allay the bitter
feeling which existed in Spanish quarters
when the men were captured. TWAS stated

THE INWARD FLOW OF GOLD.
Its Explanation Furnished by Au
gust Trade Statistics.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 1.-THE ex-
PLANTATION of the flow OF gold toward the
United States is furnished by the trade sta
tistcs for August, which supplement and
emphasize those for the preceding seven
months The excess of exports of merchan-
disc during August was Sl1, 1874 ,3I2, and the
excess for the eight months ending with Au-
gust is carried upward to SlO9, 7G0,0 ,0l9.
The excess of exports of gold for the
same eight months was S2l 793, ,30l. and the
excess Of exports Of silver coin and bullion
was s33, ,2l9,l5O.
There was an excess of imports of silver
ore amounting to 81 ,633, 1888, but the net re-
suit Of these various items is balance in
favor of the United States in eight months
amounting to Sl56, 900, 900.
The situation in the same months OF 1895
was an export balance of only about SlO,-
OOO, 900, which would be more than absorbed
by freight charges.
1t is upon this substantial basis of $780,
600. 900 that bills of exchange are now being
sold, and gold is pouring into the country.
The computed annual payments by the
United States on foreign debts are just about
equal to the excess Of imports of merchan-
disc and the precious metals for the past
eight months, but until 1893 about half this
amount was reinvested in the United States
by the foreign capitalists to whom it be-
longed.
