THE FURRY IN WALL STREET
is OVER.

Henry Clews, in his weekly financial
review says that Wall Street is recover
ing from the furry of earlier days and
that there are now many influences
which will help to revive confidence. He
says:
"Wall Street is getting upon its legs
again cautiously, and with some hesita-
ton. The Spring spurt has gwen 1t
some encouragement, and other infiu-
ences have helped to revive confidence;
but the old spirit of confidence easily
returns; and during the past week
events have caused some realizing on
stocks bought under the late recovery of
tone. The market is very sensitive to
whatever is likely to affect London hold
ings of our stocks. Foreign politics are
consequently watched closely, and es.
pecially occurrences affecting British po-
litical interests. The apprehension that
something untoward may yet turn up
in connection with the VENEZUELAN affair
still haunts some minds. Others fear
that some morning we may wake to find
ourselves seriously implicated in the
Cuba struggle. There is also the politi-
cal enigma-what is to be the outcome
of the party conventions on the silver
question; which attrasts the more inter-
est as the events draw nearer, and may
soon become the occasion for deferring
operations until the events have solved
the mystery. Those who believe that
the sun of finance revolves on a golden
axle. have found occasion for timidity in
the weeks preparations for renewed ex-
ports of the yellow metal; and history
has been ransacked to discover that, in
normal years, we have shipped consider
able gold in May, leaving it to be illogi-
cally inferred that what has happened in
normal times, is sure to recur under the
present abnormal conditions.
Under the conditions above sketched,
Wall Street, at the close otithe week, is
recovering from the furry in the earlier
days. In purely domestic conditions,
there are some distinct improvements
The distributing trade shows more activ'
ity, and the tendency OF prices in many
kinds of merchandise is towards higher
figures. Crop reports show more recov-
cry from the unfavorable gconditions
with which the Spring opened than has
been hoped for, The earnings of the
railroads continue comparatively good,
and freight rates are well maintained
The feeling among manufacturers is
somewhat more hopeful. The process
of forming combinations for the resula
ton of competition is extendingl from
one industry to another, and promises
to place the current production un
der wholesome restraint. The excite
ment connected with preparations fol
the political conventions can hardly bt
said to have taken any deep hold OF
Wall Street; for the feeling is very gen
eral that the conventions will make {
strong record in favor Of soundlimoney
These are factors which favor steadinesi
and confidence in financial values, anC
which are likely to show still better re
suits as the season progresses"

THE TARIFF AND THE TREASURY.

Since the Republican newspaper or
gans continually accuse the Wilson tar
i'll of causing the bond sales it is to be as
sumed that they expect some proper
ton of the people tc believe their as
sertions, but it is difficult to conceive
how any tairly-well informed person can
do so. In the first place there is mani
fest incongruity in the two claims that
the Wilson tariff floods the country with
foreign goods and at the same time fails
to yield revenue. For no manufactured
goods are permitted to come in free un-
der the Wilson tariff. If foreign goods
come to this country in such quantities
as the Republicans claim in one breath,
the revenues would not be so small as
tire same Republicans claim in another
breath. One proposition or the other
must be false, and as both are stoutly
maintained, it may be safely asserted
that both are false.
Everybody knows that the same Con-
gress which enacted the Mckinley tariff
so increased the permanent expenses OF
the Government that the treasury sur.
plus was wiped out, and a deficiency
made a certainty. Before President
Harrison had ended his term of office,
his secretary of the treasury had scrap
ed the treasury vaults and was enabled
to show the gold reserve intact, only by
the aid Of New York friends in the very
last days of the administration. The
deficiency in revenue was apparent be,
fore President Cleveland took his seat,
and two years before the Wilson tariff
went into effect.

bility of Witnesses.

NEWPORT. KY May 4.--There is pos
sibiity, If not prospect, that the trial OF
Scott Jackson will consume all of the

During tho past week the defense has
reveard It's purpose to attack the testi.
mony of at least two witnesses, If not
three. Allen johnson. the colored por-
ter at Dave Wallingfords saloon. has
been attacked already as TO his veracity
with no great SUCCESS But the defense
is evidently not through with him. AS
to George II Jackson. the colorcd cab
driver, there is reserve Of personal tos
timony and depositions tending TO
break down his character.
Several days ago the defense. when
Will Wood was on the stand, laid tho
foundations for the introduction of at
least four dispositions from rcl utablo
citizens In Green Castle, Ind, tending
to show that he, as well as Scott Jack.
son. had intimate relations with Pearl
Bryan. In Woods case. however, tho
dcpositions are Of tho nature of hoasts
he made in the presence OF these de-
pouents.
Ono manifest hope of the defense. Is
to establish n case OF non. jurisdiction,
by showing IL possible. that the murder
was committed in Cincinnati by over
doing somo treatment with chloroform
OF ther anacsthetc and that the body
was aftcrward taken to Kentucky and
beheadod to avoid recognition.
There is n rumor that the defonse in
tends to spring surprise by bringing
in woman from Cincinnati. who will
swear that the girl died at her house in
Cincinnati This, however, is still in
the shape of rumor, not fully verified.
The introduction of such testimony
would complicate the case aud subject
the witness to terrific cross. .examina-
ton. II wonld also expose tho witness
to liability TO be severely dealt with by
the law, perhaps to the extent Of be-
coming an accomplice.
Failing in this. in case tho jury should
agrGe, tho evident intention is to carry
tho case on error to the court of appeals.
All through the trial the defense has
taken n multitude of exceptions

for which Crawford was fined $25 by

pany in "The Wizard OF the Nile" will
commence at the Providence Opera
House, Monday night. and hearty well
come Will be extended the popular little
comedian on his first.appearance here in
his great success, especially az he comes
with the proud distinction OF having. In
one season, jumped into the very nrst
rank by his performance OF the part oil
the vagrant magician in Smith and Her
bert's opera. He is surrounded by
very large company, all of whom have re-
ceived great praise for their work In
"The WIZARD" and OF whom great ceal
is expected. The opera has proved the
one success OF the New York season, It's
record breaking engagement OF elk
months at the New York Casino having
proved its qualities.
The opera is by Harry z. Smith aud
Victor Herbert. and is Egyptian IN tone.
The story deals with tramp wizard,
Kibosh, who arrives on the scene just In
time to be sentenced TO death for having
stolen ride in the Princess Cleopatra's
royal barge. AS the axes are about TO
cut of his bead aud that of his appFen-
tice, Abydos, Kibosh declares that he can
rid the country OF the terrible drought
that is nssailing IT, and Is given the
chance. He goes through all sorts OF in
carnations, which he knows will be fruit
less, and expects 10 have TO return to the
block instantly, when, TO his surprise,
storm arises, and the Nile commences TO
overflow its banks. Kibosh is promised
the hand OF Cleopatra in marriage. The
river, however, does not stop at rising
little, but becomes torrent, drives the
people to the roofs, and price Is set on
kibosh's head He emerges from this

imprisoned In private pyramid by King
Ptolemy. The King, accidentally, is wal
led up with him, and they prepare to die
together, when Abydos, sorry for what
he has done, shows his master secret
egress from the pyramid. Kibosh, by
working on Ptolemy's superstition ana
fears, makes him give him vast sum OF
money, helps him out OF the pyramid,
and all ends well.
This is only an outline OF the plot,
which is said to he the funniest Of many
seasons. Victor Herbert has written even
prettier and more forceful music than In
"Prince Aananias," and the score has had
much to do with the success OF the opera.
As Kibosb, Mr.. Daniels will be support
ed by the original cast, including Dor
otby Morton, Louise Royce, Walter Allen,
Greta Risley, Louis Casavant, Leonard
Walker, Helen Redmond and Others, with
chorus of 65. The scenery and cos
tunes are said to be on gorgeous scale,
and the opera will be given with every
possible accessory that can add TO Its en-
joyment by the audiences The engage

wonderfully realistic painting, Maps,

add any thing to the praise that has been
bestowed upon this wonderful painting
wherever ii mas been exhibited, but IL IS
perfectly safe to say that no one ever
gazed upon IL without being astonisbed ut
its exquisite beauty and realism. Even
tQbno who has seen some OF the best
works OF art to be seen in this country,
"Nana" comes like a revelation in the
realistic school 1t is not merely the
nude figure but the surroundings, and
the picture as a whole that impresses
one with the sense of realism. The silk
draperIes seem 10 stand out in rich folds
that could be crushed and fiatteued with
q touch. while the round curves OF the
exquisitely moulded form seems to stub
bornly deny that they are mere shadows
of dainty coloring deity wrought out by
master hand upon the fiat canvas.
Such strength, combined with such ex-
quisite finish aud coloring cannot but
astonish even the most experienced art
critic. On Tuesday next the hours from
2 10 9 p. m. will be reserved for the spec
ial reception of ladies' only. The manage
ment has reduced the price of admission
for the few remaining days the picture
will be on exhibition here, so that an
opportunity is afforded everybody 10 pay
