HOPE IT'S A BOY.
But There May Be a Fourth Girl in
the Cleveland Family.


the Cleveland Family.
November is likely to be month
fraught with unusual interest to the
president and Mrs. Cleveland, says the
New York Recorder.
There is q likelihood that when the
autumn breezes begin to blow about
Gray Gables return will be made to
the White House somewhat earlier
than would otherwise be the case, and
the election returns, when they are
pouring in over the White House wires
may be read not only to the president
himself, but to little Grover, Jr.
This at least is what it is supposed
will be the case.
The political cries of that time will
be intermingled within the White
House with the grooming of lullabys,
and the fashioning of dainty garments
will be the event of the hour.
This interesting rumor has been cur
rent for some time past, but 1t was
only today that those whose word
should be authority in the matter have
announced that in November, while
the people generally are looking for
election returns, President Cleveland
will be looking for returns from the
White House nursery.
Mrs. Cleveland, since measles first
broke out in the White House several
weeks ago. has been with the children
at Woodley, where she will remain
until the family leave the city to
spend the summer at Gray Gables.
She drives into the city every day
and spends an hour or so shopping.
Her appearance in the stores is inyari-
ably the signal for stoppage of busi-

PRICE OF SILVER RISING.

The following letter from the New
York JDUrHH is succinct statement
of the relation between the product
ion and consumption of silver by the
ratio of 1G to ! is Il possible one TO
reach and maintain:
Silver experts generally agree that
the consumption of silver has for sew
eral years been greater than the pro
duction. and to this fact the steady
tendency of silver to rise noted in the
past eighteen months is attributed.
Silver production is now at a stand
still, with signs of Il diminishing pro-
duct. while gold production has been
increasing by leaps and bounds.
Advance estimates for the current
year indicate that the production of
gold will not be less than $500 900, 900.
and that it will be double the com
mercial value of silver at its present
price. Since the production of gold is
steadily increasing and the production
of silver at standstill in the face of a
consumption which is greater than
the production, there is good ground
for The argument that the parity be
tween the two metals at the ratio of
I6 TO would III Il few years be re
stored even were no favorable iegisla-
ton TO be enacted in behalf of silver.
When the powerful influence of the
United States using, the largest per
capita of money of any nation in the
world, in thrown into the balance in
favor of silver, by giving it free coin
age at the mints. the present natural
tendency of gold TO 90 down ana of
silver to go up will be accelerated, and
the parity will be restored ut once in
stead of a few years later

Ii HUNG CHANG.

Lii Hung Chang, China's greatest
living general and statesman is
now visiting in London, and will
arrive in New York, August 81. He
travels as the special representative
of the Emperor of China, and is re
ceived with marked honors every
where
He is broad and liberal minded for
a Chinaman, and although the most
noted general China has produced in
this century, yet he is man wi o
loves peace rather than war. and who
uses all his power and influence AS a
statesman to that end. If Chang
had had his way, the recent China
Japan war would not have take II
place.
When General Grant made his tour
of the world about twenty years age,
he and Ii Hung Chang became warm
friends, and so continued until the
Generals death. General Grant rank
ed Chang as one OF the three great
men OF the world of his day, and the
iatter's regard for Grant is shown by
the fact that every year the Chinese
Minister at Washington, by the direc-
ton OF Viceroy Chang, goes to River
side on the anniversary of the Gen
erals death, and places a wreath of
flowers on his tomb.
In religion he is disciple of the
great Confucins. Chang favors
American missionaries and recognizes
the good work they are accomplishing
for education and morals in China, as
well as the noble work done by the
medical missionaries in the hospitals.
He bears an autograph letter from
the Emperor of China to president
Cleveland. which he will deliver in
person. He will be received at Wash
ington with due respect, and no doubt
will be treated throughout the coun-
try with the honor generally accorded
the personal representative of the
head of foreign government with
which we are at peace.
Chang will go overland from New
York TO San Francisco, and will sail
from Vancouver for China Sept. IA.
