New York, April 9.-Evening Posts
London financial cablegram:
Investment stocks were strong, con-
soils leading but the approach of the set
tlement has checked speculation.
Mines are dull on the reported serious
Illness of Cecil Rhodes.
Americans were dull on receipt of New
York prices. Each market now blames
the other for not responding to its rise.
There is absolutely no public interest here
in Americans and therefore a strong
1t is understood from a good quarter that
fears are expressed in America of sales
here Of American bonds. 1t is needless
TO say that this depends on the course
of congress towards the currency. If it
were not for fears here that the United
States is drifting towards silver currency
such bonds would rise.
South Americans were weak on a further
rise in the Argentine gold premiums
The coin and bullion in the Bank of
England decreased f1s4,000 pounds this
week, although f2410 600 in gold were i'm
ported for the week.
The only feature in the return is the in
crease of f3,500000 in other deposits and
q similar decrease in the public deposits,
both movements Que to the payment of
dividends of consols.
The Paris bourse has been steady but
closed dull
Berlin steady. 1t is reported the Jap
anese government may open an account
at the national banks similar to the
former operation with the Bank of Eng
land. but at present this is merely a
rumor.

LOOK OUT A LITTLE.

SULLIVAN, Ind, April 9.-The first
of a series of arrests under the
United States statutes relating to
metal coins and tokens and coupons,
were made by United States Marshal
Hawkins at Linton today. If they
hold good 1t will affect all manufac-
turers, mine owners and merchants
who are using metal checks or token
or coupon books. 1t has been the
policy of mine operators to issue to
miners before payday metals checks
which were made to represent money
value. Merchants also used these
checks. which have been money
equivalent in all mining districts for
years, Two companies alone have
nearly $4,000 in tokens and coupons
in circulation.

hannesburg, pleaded not guilty in the
following written statement
THE arms and ammunition mentioned
in the evidence as being received here
were consigned to me by the British

to store the same to their account In
structions were afterwards given to my
knowledge by an official of the British
South Africa company, whose name |
prefer not to disclose, that a portion of
the arms and ammunition be forwarded
hence.
II did not take part in these arrange
ments nor was L aware that my name

FoREIGN MISSIONS.

BOSTON, April s.-Rev. Judson
Smith, D. D., secretary of the foreign
department of the American board for
foreign missions, states that private
assurances have been received that
the United States government is Civ
ing careful attention to the case Of
Rev. George P. Knapp of Bitlis, East
ern Turkey.
DR.. Smith says the treaty rights OF
Americans in Turkey made them all
extra territorial subjects-that is, the
alien, though residing on Turkish soil,
is deemed to be still a resident of his
own country and is governed solely by
the laws of his country and through
it's representatives.

IN A BAD STATE.

NEW YORK, April ga dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says:
FREDERICK Errazuriz, presidential
candidate-elect of the coalition conven-
ton, replying to a dispatch informing
him of his nomination, said that the
difficulties of the economic situation
in the country were exceptional.
Sources of production were seriously
endangered and business was paral-
yzed. 1t was very difficult to put into
effect commercial transactions of any
kind. The government, he thought,
should aid private enterprises with
public funds to Tighten the situation.
Senior Errazuriz said that rumors of
international complications were I'M
founded. There were treaties in force
for the pacific solution of all difficulties
and arbitration was always possible.
He would, he said, realize if he could
all the hopes of the Liberia; party in
the republic.

GRATIFIES THE POPE

LONDON, April 9.-The Chronicle will
publish tomorrow a dispatch from Rome
whlch gives an important letter that
Cardinal Rampolla has addressed to the
editor of that paper, under date of Anril
9. The translation of the letter is as fol-
lows:
"Sil'-Amongst the most precious Gifts
the divine redeemer bestowed upon the
world was that of peace, and no better
desire can exist than peace should reign
upon the earth Justly, therefore. the
vicar eternal of the prince of peace de-
sires to cooperate with every effort to-

union of hearts along the nations.
On this account his holiness being in
formed by me of the earnestness with
which you are promoting the institution

DON'T LIKE IT.

PARIS, April Considerable irri-
tation against Turkey has been
aroused here by the reports from Con-
stantinople and London that the sultan
has decided to .Xpel all Roman Catho-
lie and Protestant missionaries from
Asiatic Turkey The newspapers, par
ticularly the Figaro, have taken up
the question in earnest, as one di-
rectly and strongly affecting Chris
tianity and so calling for a prompt
and effective acton. The Figaro COM
plains of the deception that Turkish
officials have practiced upon the world
at large in the embarrassing stories
of the massacres sent out by the Turk
ish government and expresses the
hope that France will not permit the
missionaries TO be expelled from Ash
attic Turkey. Other newspapers eX-
press similar views and hope that the
French government will act with
promptness and energy in the matter.

NEW YORK, April ga special to the
World from Cairo, Egypt, says:
From indications here it is thought that
the plan of pushing the Anglo-Egyptian
army to Dongola has been suddenly
abandoned. The purchase of camels and
horses has been stopped. Lord Cromer
and Sir Herbert Kitchener have had a
great deal of Geographic correspondence
during the last thirty-six hours. 1t has
been found, it is thought, that the force
up the Nile is too weak to cope with
the hordes of Dervishes now in the field
and gathering to the khalifia's flag be-
tween Akashen and Dongola. 1t is not
probable that any attempt will be made
to advance beyond the former point at
present. 1t is believed too, that it is the
intention of the British to move strongly
by the Suakim route, when the time
for active hostilities arrives.

PORTLAND, Ore, April s.-When
the Democratic convention reassem-
bled the committee on platform pre-
scented a majority and minority report
on the financial plank. The majority
report favored the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1, while the minority report simply
endorsed the Democratic platform of
1892. After a discussion of three hours
the majority report was adopted.
The financial plank is as follows:
whereas, AS the present depressed
condition of the country and shrinkage
of values are largely due to the finan-
cial system which has controlled the
nation for more than twenty years
past, we hereby declare ourselves as
unalterably opposed to the single gold

Cottel, alias John Smith, the ex-hired

a written confession of the crime for
which he is held.
He is still calm and perfectly self

brutal affair without fiinching, and
said he did not care for the conse-
Guences of his acts. The only excuse
he would offer for the perpetra ton of
the crime was 1.-The devil told me to

A morbid crowd has besieged the Jail

has been in Jail on suspicion of being
