A Nuisance Abated.

For some time past there have been many
complaints received by the police from res
idents of that section Of the city south of
the Agricultural Department and the
Smithsonian that it was unsafe for ladies
to pass through the White Lot or the other
public grounds in that vicinity, even in the
daytime. They were subjected to an
noyance by man who has been lettering
about the grounds. and who up to a few
days ago has been able to evade arrest.
Last Saturday Special Officer Davis of the
Agricultural Department, without assist
ance, chased the fellow and lodged him in
the 18th street station house The man
was swift runner and but for the per-
sistence of Mr.. Davis he would have es-
capped. This service has called forth the
thanks and praise Of the citizens Of that
section. who feel relieved that the nuisance
has been abated. ~

STRAINED RELATIONS.
A RumOr That Mr.. Wilson Wants
Judge Howard Removed.

II was rumored about the Post Office De-
partment today that an unpleasant situa-
ton had arisen between Postmaster Gen.
eral Wilson and Judge Howard. the sixth
auditor. Coupled with this report was tho
statement that the strained relations were
due TO the course pursued by the auditor
in holding UP department accounts a la
Bowler. So irksome have these decisions
by the auditor become TO Postmaster Gen.
eral Wilson. according to the rumor. that
he has taken the matter to the President
and intimated that Judge Howard's resis-
nation should be demanded Of him or the
Postmaster Generals resignation would be
placed at the Presidents disposal
To a Star reporter this afternoon Judge
Howard, wheE acquainted with the report
in circulation. said he knew nothing OF II
nor OF the alleged basis of It. On the con-
trary to the statement that there were
unpleasant relations between the Post
master General an himself. he could say
without hesitation that their rela atoms were
very agreeable. Judge Howard SAID he
could think OF no possible cause for the
rumor unless IL arose from the malice of
some 1isgruntled clerk n the department
Postmaster General Wilson being absent
in Tei nessee nothing authoritative from
anyone in the department could be secured
today, and no one IN the office of the Post
master General acknowledged having any

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. June 16.-Realizing sales
by London and traders stayed the upward
movement In values during the early trad
ing this morning. Tine sharp advance
over last Wednesdays low level. extend
ing from 1 to per cent, attracted profit
taking. but made no significant impression
in sentiment. Fractional concessions pre-
vailed temporarily, but the latter demand
reflected decided improvement in char
acter and resulted in a higher level of
values.
st. Louis advices predicting a two-thirds
vote for gold were directly responsible for
the prevailing optimism. Confidence in the
perpetuation OF an honest currency system
will. If disappointments do rot intervene,
continue to dominate values for some time
to come In some quarters an indisposition
to enter upon an active speculative cam
paign was credited to a lack of confidence
in strict adherence to the expressed
policy once the nomination Is secure. Skep-
-cism of this character Is unfortunately
too pronounced. but breach of faith with
the east Is scarcely probable and tfmidity
OF this character should gradually d.sap-
pear.
The attitude of London Is relied upon to
very considerable extent in determining
the course Of prices at this juncture. The
new platform must be submitted to for
eign criticism in order that its real specu-
lative significance may be determined by
those more Immediately concerned. The
gold movement and the steadily decreasing
federal reserve make foreign participation
In our market a subject of unusual i'm
portance. With the $1oo.0OD0O0 mark al
most reached, changes in the treasury s
daily balances become an object of legiti-
mate speculative concern.
An expressed loyalty to gold will attract
gold, and the fight for such an expression
Is approved by the conservative element in
all departments of the business world.
American securities, acknowledged sound
in every particular, can be bought consid-
erably under the market value Of less meri-
torious foreign issues. A demand for such
securities is relied upon to follow a foreign
lndorSement OF our currency plank
The lack Of fevehue for government pur-
poses has been q fixture too long, however
to be Immediately overcome by a mere dec
laration to remedy existing defects in the
laws COVER ming this subject. A tendency
toward Improvement Is the mcst that Is
assured. and the very essential and i'm
portant element Of time is required to ac-
complish Substantial results.
1t Is reasonable to expect q moderate re-
action in sentiment after the first enthu-
| slastic outburst attesting the wisdom of
the fcresha4owed change in methods The
remedial process must be seriously consid-
cred and deliberately entered upon The
first advance will be no more permanent

But the exclusive report Of the Asso-

plank had reached the east. and Mr.. Platt
was deluged with kilograms from eastern
flnanciers. The part objected to reads:
"Wo favor the use of silver as currency.
but to the extent only that its parity with
geld can be maintained"
1t was understood that the change de-
manded involved striking out the word
silver" and SO Mr.. Lauterbach presented
an amendment, reading:
I'VE believe that all obligations, either in
currency or paper. issued by the govern
ment should be payable in gold coin.''
This amendment had not been submitted
to Mr.. Hanna or his representative up to
the time Of the meeting of the committee,
but it was understood that Senator Lodge
favored 1t. 1t will be discussed during the

continued his testimony.
Mr.. Hay said that when he first saw the

1t was much smoother then than now. He
said that he had examined a large number
Of Judge Holts letters. He characterized
the judges handwriting as erratic and
pointed out a number of its most striking
characteristics. The handwriting in the
will, he thought, compared very favorably
with that in the letters he had examined.
II was not a feigned hand or an attempt
to copy some ones else handwriting. There
il a marked absence of carefulness of
stroke, and no evidences of tracing. In the
letters he had found all the characteristics
which al pear I'm the will. In the will, he
said. there is no appearance of cramped
hand. On the contrary, there is as much
freedom as is possible with the finger
movement"
Mr. Hay then followed with an informal
lecture on the subject of penmanship, dis
tingushing between the full-arm move
ment, the forearm and the finger move
ment and the results in handwriting to he
expected from each. He was still on the
stand when The Stars report closed.
