vincible as the man of iron and

ents seem to have no trouble in
getting on the other side whenever
they desire. 1t is certainly time
that that struggle was stopped. 1t
is and always has been a mere
butchery under the the dignified
namc of war, and should be per-
mitted to proceed no further.

will veto the river and harbor bill,
which is said to be the largest ap-

increased since by the committee

to it at the White House is based
upon the large continuing con-

RAISED ITS RATE.
The Bunk of England Influenced Inv
the MithI rn Nxul of Cold

the Withdrawal of Gold
LONDON. September 1O-The Bank of
England has increased its rate of discount
cfe-half per cent to two and one-half This
is the first time the rate has been changed
III two years, and was brought about by the
heavy Withdrawals of gold during the past
three weeks
The Evening Standard this afternoon saws
that the unexpected raising of the bank
rate from . to 21a per cent, the first time
since February 81, 1894, that there has
been n change. foreshadows further gold
Withdrawals and has created considera BILE
surprise on the stock exchange. The
markets. in consequence. the Evening
Standard adds. We're all fiat. In conclusion
the paper says:
1t is too early to see the effect of the adj
vance. Thus far the only movement which
was direct consequence was a drop Of 5-S
in consols.
Con soils closed last night at 112 0-16 for
money, and 112 5-S for the account They
opened at III rs for money, and Ill 15-1G
for the account.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Unless the
bank has information which is not gener-
ally known, the position scarcely seems to
warrant rise in the bank rate. 1t is pos
sible that the directors may foresee the ne
cessity of advancing the bank rate to 3
per cent
The Westminster Gazette says that the
advance of the bank rate was purely q
precautionary measure, evident from the
bank return showing the reserve to pc
about the same as on the corresponding
date of 1895. The Gazette adds: 1T is
generally recognized in the market that
the action of the directors was wise and
hopes are entertained that it Will check
somewhat the export of gold. Tho advance
had an adverse effect the stock ex-
change. but it Is not likely to be perma-
nent unless the withdrawal of gold con-
tinues to such an extent as to force more
appreciable advance Of the bank rate
