New York, Aug 20.-WaIl street was
agitated yesterday by the news of actu-
al preparations for an early importa-
ton of two millions in gold and by
the statements that this action would
foreshadow an inflow of the metal on
an extensive scale, the estimate rang
ing from fifteen to twenty-five mil
lions. 1t became known that certain
leading bank presidents, including j
Edward Simons of the Fourth National
bank and F. D. Tappen of the Gala
tin National bank, had been IN confer
ence regarding measures providing for
gold imports; but no definite informa-
ton was obtained as to the outcome of
the discussion. The developments re-
ferred to were followed by further
sharp break in sterling exchange to a
basis of $4.45 for demand bills and
similar reduction in posted quotations.
1t is said that the engagement of the
gold referred to is independent of any
combination, but further individual
imports are expected.

Has it been sufficiently verified? We
most oppressive burden chat any party

when you have borne the load rs long as

guish, How long, oh Lord, how long
wilt thou affiict our people? We are
daily suffering for his sins of omission
and commission, but with the load re-
moved, breathe freer and though should
we meet political defeat, we could still
say it is we'll, but we do not expect such
will be the case, as we will now be free
to select such men as will be a credit to
any party. While you will have to sub
