LOSSES BY THE ARMY WORM.

Harrisburg, Aug. 10.-The loss to the
farmers Of Pennsylvania by the ravages
of the army worm will not fall short of
a million dollars. Reports to the de-
partment of agriculture from farmers in
counties where the worm has made its
appearance this summer estimate the ag-
gregate loss at $4,000 in some town
ships. The farmers in these localities
estimate their individual loss anywhere
from $50 to 5000. The greatest damage
has been done to the oats, barley and
grass crops.
State Zoologist Warren is preparing a
bulletin which will give the loss caused
by these little pests and their history
and movements. 1t will be illustrated
with photographs taken in the field show
ing how the worm damages the crops
The pest has not yet made its appearance
in number of counties. DR.. Warren
thinks they will not cause much more
damage this season, as the farmers have
taken vigorous measures to eradicate
them.

Denial of the Report that Hohen-
lobe Contemplates Resigning.

Berlin, Aug. S.-(Copyrighted 1896. by
| the Associated Press.)-A dispatch to the
Neustenachrichten from Munich today
denies the report that Prince Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, has resigned and
says that the sole object of his visit to-,
Wilhelmshaven. where Emperor William
is staying, was to make II report of cx-
isting affairs.
For some time past the government.
foaded by the agrarians, has rendered
The import of Russian products, especially
meat, cattle, horses, pigs and cereals very
difficult. Contrary to treaty stipulation,
veXatious fees and inspectors dues have
been imposed, amounting in many cases
10 from 10 to 30 per cent, added to the
regular tariff rates. Russian fresh pork
has also been excluded under the pre-
text of hygienic precautions. In addi-
ton, large shipments of Russian rye aud
wheat have been refused entry on the
plea that they were detrimental to health.
Russia has now made the most vigorous
protest against this treatment and Novoe
Nremya says threatens reprisals.
Austria is adopting the same policy
against German products, especially hides
and leather, as Germany has adopted
against Russian products and as a result
the industrial and manufacturing circles
of Germany are alarmed and intend TO
urge the government to reverse its boom
erang policy.
Emperor Williams Norwegian cruise.
has been rather a failure this year, owing.
to bad weather, and the emperor amused
himself on wet days with long walks to
places OF interest inland. Every Sunday
the emperor conducted divine services ON
the upper deck of the imperial yacht Ho-
hcnZollern, upon which occasions he read
a homily freely interspersed with his own
remarks. The hymn singing was very
ilne, as there was n full band and a
choir OF 100 voices Of sailors on board.
The emperor also occupied his leisure,
moments during the cruise in composing,
u march in honor and in celebrating the
idea Tor new picture as penant to his
wonderful yellow plaque picture. The
motive of the work is the protection Of
the arts and industry by the army.
Professor Knachfus, who painted the
yellow plaque, has been interested with
the talk this time. The outline of the
picture is thus described. Under
gothic arch stands ideal female figures,
personifying the arts and commerce,
against which menacing cloud is adj
vancing and from which cloud emerge

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

.
New York. Aug. 1.-Bradstreet's re-
view of the Stock Exchange tomorrow
will say:
During the last week speculation in
the New York market has shown re-
newed bearish tendencies, eliminating on
Friday in a severe liquidation and gen
eral decentralization of prices. The fail
ure of prominent Chicago operators and
the collapse of Il local boom at the clos
ing of the Stock Exchange has no i'm
mediate connection with Wall street.
Nevertheless. the incident created in
quiry, and it may be observed, indeed,
that the hardening of the local market
here is attributable mainly to complica-
tons created by the Chicago troubles. At
the close of the week, however, the rise
of call loans to 60d7 per cent, and the
difficulty in obtaining time loans was eff
fective in creating liquidation. The dis
turbance at Chicago, the expectation of
harmony in the political situation and
the fact that railroad earnings are be-
coming decidedly unsatisfactory were all
used by the bears with more or less eff
feet on prices. The ease, however, with
which such interests have produced an
impression upon the share list is mainly
due to the fact that the most influential
people in the street are not giving any
apparent protection to the stock special
ties and the public is taking no part
whatever in the market, the declines in
prices attracted no buying whatever ex-
cept that by covering of short contracts
of the purchases for London account.
The latter market, however, has not ex-
hibited the same degree of bullish feel
ing in regard to American securities that
it showed for some weeks past. 1t has
become plain that the buying from that
quarter was professional and that the
British public has been, and continues,
Indifferent. On Friday London was,
however. a buyer on the breaks in our
stock list.
