GEN. LEES VACATION.
Forced to Forego it Lest it Give
Rise to Alarming RumorS
About Cuba.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 27.-Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, consul-general at Havana,
has given up his proposed visit to his
home in Virginia, which he had expected
to make within the next few days. The
determination to remain at his post is
understood to be due to the reports cur
rent in the United States that he was
dissatisfied with his instructions and de-
sired to be relieved. AS his return
might give seeming approval to the re-
ports, the consul-general determined to
give up the vacation he had planned,
although he is much in need of change
of scene owing to the hardships of the
Havana climate during the last six
months

TO MAKE FRANCE SUSPICIOUS.
Reputed Object of Prince Bismarck's
Disclosures.

Paris, Oct. 29.-The Figaro, COM
menting on the disclosures made by
Prince Bismarck in the Hamburger
Nachrichten regarding the secret alliance
between Germany and Russia from lSS4
to 1890 says: Russia discovered that
the treaty was veritable delusion for
her and when Prince Bismarck asked
her in 1887 to renew her dec
laration of her neutrality in the
event of the attack upon France, which
was then planning in Germany, Russia
formally refused to do so and thereafter
all the Establishments of Prince Bis
marck only served to increase the friend
ship of France and Russia"
The Matin is of the opinion that the
disclosure of the secret treaty was in
tended to make France suspicious of
Russia and adds that it has had the con-
trary effect.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to the
Soleil says there has been an important
exchange of views between the French
and Russian ministers of war by which
certain notifications have been effected
in. the general plan for the mobilization
and concentration of the Franco Russia
troops in time of war. The Soleil adds
that the proof of this statement will soon
be seen in number of frontier changes
and the first step is said to have already
been taken by an increase in the number
Of Russian dragons.

CALL LOANS WERE HIGH.
The Rate Reached 100 Per Cent. Fefore
the Day Closed.

New York. Oct. pa somewhat apa-
thetic speculation in stocks today was
enliyened by extreme stringency III rates
for ca II money. The first loan was made
at 10 ner cent. and the rate then jumped
I'D rapidly and finally about l2:3O p. M.
a broker who wanted money was COM
pelled to bid the rate UP to 5O per cent
before he could secure the required ac1
commodation. The price then huctuated
between 40 and 80 per cent. Business
was only moderate as offerings of funds
were extremely light.
The immediate cause of the stringency
was the calling of loans by some OF the
banks that wished to prepare themselves
for possible large demands tomorrow:
Loans made on Friday go over until
Monday according to the custom of the
street. although the banks legally have
the right to call money on any day OF
the week The banks as rule are re-
serving their surplus funds for the ac-
commodation of their regular customers,
some of whom are being supplied at .
per cent. in proportion to the business
being done by them. In some instances,
however, banks have called loans for the
express purpose of making a turn IN
money on the street.
The stringency was not especially due
to shipments of funds to the interior, as
the volume of this business has not eX-
ceeded the average of last week.
Bankers report sharp inquiry for funds
by their regular clients and sympathetic
hardening influence upon the money mar
ket was exerted by a report of an in
crease in the demands for cash gold.
Bullion brokers advanced the commits
sion premium of the gold 3-16 per cent.
to Il to g per cent. Predictions are cur
rent in the street of materially higher
figures in money tomorrow, but some
leading bankers express the opinion that
the worst of the furry has been seen.
1910 p. m.-Loans have been made at
40 per cent; so per cent. now bid
1:15 p. ma loan of money at so per
cent. has been made
2:5O p. m.-Loans as high as 100 per
cent. have been made.
London, Oct. 29.-Although the bank
rate was not changed today at the meet

usual course of charging AZ per cent.
discount, L; is believed that the object
is to make the rate effective in the open

New Orleans, La, Oct. 30.-About

been verified. The property loss is es-
timated at 100000.

The second act of "Off the Earth by
Eddy Foys company had just begun at
the Fuller Opera house when the storm

the stage was lifted from it's place and
carried across the avenue by the wind.
A mass of stones, mortar and bricks
came tumbling down on the stage A
panic was narrowly avoided, the audi

face of one of the actresses, but no one
was seriousl y injured. The city is now

Report Regarding Withdrawals of Gold
from San EranciScO,


Washington, D. c., Oct 27-The state
ment telegrapheu from San Francisco
today, to the effect that the United
States subtreasury there had just pulled
through run which threatened TO ami
hilate its gold holdings, is stated by the
treasury officials to be greatly exagger-
ated. During the month Of August and
a part of September the Withdrawals
reported from the subtreasury at San
Francisco were abnormally heavy, but
at no time were the officials apprehensive
of any serious results. Long before
the Withdrawals assumed any considera-
BILE proportions instructions had been CIV
en- to the Chicago subtreasury officials
to be ready to snip to San Francisco such
quantities of gold as might be required
and later one or two shipments were
made. For the most part, however, the
assistant treasurer at San Francisco
managed the matter with little assistance
from Washington, and as one official
stated today, "The furry lasted but
short time and alarmed no one. There
have been no unusual Withdrawals at
San Francisco for nearly a month"

that the troubles within the church

It is fully expected by the friends of

to secure the retirement Of DR.. Rocker,
