PROSPERED UNDER GOLD
Consular Reports on the Currency
Systems of the World.
They Show n General Advance in
Wages In the Leading Indus
trial Countries.

The Secretary of State sent an instruc-
tion To the diplomatic and consular Officers
Of the United States, July 20 last, di-
reCting them that as in view OF the great
popular interest Ill this Country in the cur
rency question, the experience OF other
nations becomes matter OF immediate
importance" to prepare report OF the
currency of the countries TO which they
were accredited, showing, among other
things, the nature of the standard of value,
amount of IL mCney in circulation, the effect
of the exiting currency Oh manufacturing
industries, rates OF labor, and agricultural
products and prices.
II was stated III at the object of the de-
partment is to set forth the actual con-
uIlions i'll every Country oI til e " Urldin order
that the people OF the United states may be
accurately informed as To the practical
effects on industrial activity, prices OF
commodities, and wages OF the various
systems OF currency in force.
Ine department yesterday issued the first
volume, consisting OF 2TO pages Of these
reports, covering all the reports so far
| received, including those of Europe and
South American countries, Mexico, ana
Central America. Frederick Emory, chief
ofthe Department Bureau of Statistics, who
| is in charge OF the publication, summar-
| ICES the reports as follows:
While it is evident, from the many
| variations In prices OF commodities and
| rates of wages during the past ten years,
| as disclosed i'll detail in the preceding re-
! ports, that an exact expression of the
| general results cannot be given within
| the compass of a single table, il is possible
| To group together statements as to the
nature of the currency and the Per capita
| circulation, and an approximation to the
| general changes in prices and wages. i. e.,
| the increase or decrease, in each country
| treated OF. TWO important facts seem
| to have been established:
| I'D That there has been general de
| cline in the prices of commodities. eSpe-
| cially in certain raw products through
out the world. 1t is claimed, on the one
| hand, that this decline in prices is due to
| scarcity of money, and, on the other hand
| that il is to be attributed to progress in
| invention and increased production both
| of raw materials aud manufactur caus-
| ing keener competition. with the newt
! able accompa niment ut lower prices.
| 1T will be noted that in Mexico prices
have been steadier for articles which could
be most profitably exported for gold and
| that sharp fluctuations, due to local scarcity
of product have occurred in such articles
| as " heat and corn, in which the prices
have been generally downward in the mar
kets of the world.

ST. MARKS HIS SELECTION
Bishop Satterlee Believed to
Have So Decided.
HE DOES NOT DENY Ii
A fter Conference of Several Hours
with the Vestry Last Night He
Declined to Make u Statement
Causes Which Would Influence 1t
AS His Choice.

Bishop satterlee received the vestry OF
ST. Marks Episcopal Cburcn last night, and
Il conference OF almost three hours uura-
ton followed
The vcstry called to hear his answer
to their request that he make st. Marks
the bishops church, and while no definite
statement would be made by the vcstry, IT
is believed that be has complied with the
invitation.
St Marks is cne of the most prosperous
churches in the city and has been without
a rector ever since the disruption in the
veStry one year ago, last Easter. The
strife was Il serious one, and the courts
Were unsuccessfully called upon to square
the differences. disunion threatened the
congregation.
is A RICH PARISH.
With the coming or the bishop, however,
II Is believed all differences will be buried
and the parish Will once more resume the
proud place she held in Washington re-
lgIous circles. No other church in the new
diocese was in u similar condition, and IT
is said these facts were largely crfectuai
in bringing the bishop to the conclusion
he is believed to have reached.
Possibly, with two exceptions, IT is the
richest Episcopal church in the city. With
the advent of the bishop it Will increase
in wealth and power. Rev. Mr.. Curtis of
Chevy Chase has had charge of the pulpit
month since the regular rector was de-
posed 1t is quite likely Bishop Satteriee
will preside until the parish is once more
on Il stable, friendly footing, if not longer.

paired To Bishop Satterlee'S new home,

He PAwNED HER JEWELS.
But Miss Duval Has Clerk Redmond
Arrested for Striking Her

William Redmond, clerk in the Treasury
Department, was arrested last night by
Hayes on the complaint of
l'lanche Duval, who charged him with
assault. AT the New Jersey avenue sta
tinn the man was released on $1o col
lateral. Miss Duval told Sergeant Falvey
that she feared for her life should she
return to her apartments, as Redmond
had threatened to kill her. and III" ser
geant allowed her to occupy a witness :oom
at the station during the night.
Miss Duval, who is petite and French,
with plump figure, black hair, and big
gray eyes, told her story to the police
when Redmond had left the station and
she felt herself safe from his pc cSccu-
ton. The story she told was that of a
mans brutality and q woman's suffering.

last night that Redmond had squandered
every pennyshe had earned and had paw

Last night. she says, he came home to
dinner and abused her because it was not
to his liking. Their quarrel led to blows
and he struck her with his fist, knocking
her down. She retaliated with the carv-
ing knife and drew blood from the back
of his hand. She made her escape from
the house as soon as possible and started
for the Sixth precinct station to secure
the protection of the police. At the cor

Redmond attempted to detain the woman
and it is alleged struck her violent blow
