simply knew that its theories could not

WORK OF EXCHANGE SYNDICATE.
Exchange Now Depressed to a Point
Where 1t Is Profitable to Inn
port Gold.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Wall street
was agitated by the news of actual
preparations for the early Importation
of $4,000. 900 in gold, and by statements
that this action would foreshadow an
influx of the yellow metal on an ex-
tensive scale, the estimates ranging
from $15,000,000 to s25,000,e00. 1t be-
came known that certain leading bank
presidents. including Messrs. j. Ed
ward Simmons, of the Fourth National,
and f. D. Tappen, Of the Gallatin Ma
tional, had been in conference regard
Ing measures providing for gold i'm
ports, but no definite information was
obtained as to the outcome of the
discussion.
The developments referred to followed
further sharp break in the sterling
exchange to the basis of $485 for de-
mand bills and a similar reduction in
posted quotations by a leading drawer
to $4.85@4. 861a. A small OF Of demand
sold at $4.86, as compared with SASS
yesterday, and a large remittance op-
GRAFTON took place at $4.85Z. 1t is
variously estimated that there is
profit in the transaction proposed by
Lazard Freres, who have engaged ST.
100000 for import, of u to y per cent,
but members Of the firm were indis-
posed to enter into such details.
1t is said that the engagement re-
ferred to is independent of any combi-
nation, but further individual imports
are expected. The growing expectation
of the early imports of gold had been
previously reported. The rapid break
in exchange, extending to 2A cents
since the close of the previous week,
is almost entirely due to the opera
tions Of the so-called exchange syndi-
cate. Up town importers being un-
able, owing to the continued lightness
of time money, to secure discounts,
are unable to buy exchange, and this
fact accounts for the limited demand
This condition enables the exchange
syndicate to depress exchange to a
point that renders practicable imports
Of gold.
Large amounts of sterling loans have
also been made, and, In addition. there
are increased offerings of grain and
cotton futures, chiefly the latter. The
effect of the developments noted on the
stock market was decidedly beneficial,
although minimized to a certain extent
by the prevailing speculative apathy
and the fact that for some time past
commission houses have in many in
stances refused to accept orders ex-
cept for cash Favorable features in
today's stock market was a decline in
call money at the close to per cent,
as against an early high figure of A

KYLE's GOOSE COOKED.
1t Is Said Picker VIII Succeed
Him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Re-
publican national congressional COM
mittee has been doing some quiet can
vasing in different Northwestern states
as to the outcome in November. and
has endeavored to get at some facts
regarding the election of senators in
the two Dakotas. While Senator Hans
brough is not considered entirely in
sympathy with the sound money plank
in the Republican national platform.
it is admitted that the course he is pur-
suing is favorable to him if he makes
no further mistakes by advocating free
coinage. The Republican congressional
committee has received advices from
North Dakota indicating that Hans
brough will probably succeed himself
The principle reason why he will not
have a hard fight is because he has
been polite enough to announce every
where that he will support Mckinley
no matter what the outcome may be-
In South Dakota the situation is
somewhat different. Senator Kyle does
not seem to figure IN the contest as
his own successor. 1t is believed that
Maj, Picker, who has come out for
sound money and is opposed by Petit
grew and Kyle. will succeed him.

ROUSRNG MAJORITY
Is What Mr.. Reed Expects Maine to
Give.

PORTLAND, Maine, Aug. 19.-The
Lincoln club held f1ag-raising tonight
and serenaded Thomas B. Reed, who
came in from his summer residence at
Grand Beach, for the purpose. Mr..
Reed said in part:
What | want to say Is q few words of cheer
and encouragement and also of exhortation.
Maine is an important factor in the politi-
cal affairs of the nation this fall. 1t has
been so since 1910 and 1t will keep on being
SO. Maine is not like Oregon, which spoke
away back in June before public opinion
had settled; it is not like Vermont, which is
also steadfast, nor is it like Alabama, where
fair expression of the public mind cannot
be had and where honest elections are not
even a memory. We speak in the thick of
the fight, and when we speak. the nation
hears us. What say in September will
be said louder in November. The nominee
of the other party is honest. He has stated
where he is and you know where you are
(cheers).
l don't ask you for my part for any larger
majority than usual. l always feel sufficiently
honored by any majority you give me. But
on the issue before the country you must
speak and speak loud. We are not fighting a
losing battle. There Is something in genuine
bimetallism, but nothing in the thing now
proposed for the comfort peace and prosper
ity of the country. If ever the country de-
manded good workers, it demands them now.
You will give us good, rousing Maine ma
jority.

BRYAN's DENIAL GOES.
Thurston Says 1t Is Ample to Satisfy
Him,

Him.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-"Mr Bryan's
word goes with me, and shall be glad
to so state to the people of this coun-
try" 80 said Senator John M Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, today, after reading
the f1at-footed denial on the part of
W. J. Bryan that he was or had been
in the employ Of the silver mine
owners.
''Mr. Bryan has denied the charge
which was made by Democratic
newspaper, and I have no hesitation
in declaring that l believe him." add
ed Mr.. Thurston. Being asked if his
exculpation of his fellow Nebraskan
included in it's scope Senator Stewart
Of Nevada, who had taken up the
literary cudgels in behalf of the Demo-
cratic nominee, Mr.. Thurston said:
Senator Stewart has arrived at that
stage Of political second childhood
which entities him to great consider
alton and 1 do not think anything fur
ther need be said on that score" With
which rejoinder and a repetition that
he would give the same publicity to his
acceptance of Bryan's denial as he had
given to the newspaper charge, Mr..
Thurston declined to discuss the mat
ter further.

AOWa veterans Will rush Him Tor

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 19.-As
the date of the national G. A. r. en-
campment at st. Paul approaches it
becomes more evident that Iowa's can
didate for commander, Gen. Josiah
Given, is in the lead. Iowa will appear
at the encampment prepared to make
the best showing it has ever made In
the first place, the delegation will be
the very largest present, except Min
neSota's.
Special orders have been sent out
from the Iowa headquarters for every
post in the state to appear with it's
post colors. 1t has never been custom
ary to take the post colors to the ma
tional encampment, and this will be an
innovation. The colors will add a new
and striking feature to the parade
Iowa is expected to have at least 1000
in line. and possibly 1900, every post
with colors. If iowa does not make
the best showing of any state it's
representatives will be disappointed
There are now four candidates for
the position of national commander
They are Gen. Clarkson, of Omaha
Langan, Of New Hampshire; Commo-
dore Perry. of New Hampshire, and
Gen. Given, of Iowa. OF all these Gen
Given is conceded at present to be in
the lead. Iowa has always been one
OF the strongest states in the order,
and yet has never had a commander.
